Update. Damn update

Nothing really has changed over these months. I'm still without computer, but playing at work suck so much, that I don't enjoy it even a little. Still I managed to try the new Poker Tracker software and I am really stoked - it does the job faster and better and the hud looks good. When all this shit will end, I will buy this one for sure [I will even get a discount due my PAHud purchase earlier].

I am forking on new project, what will hopefully end our [I mean my family] struggle and will put things right. This is project I really love and if all works out I will send out our best beer to fellow bloggers, who found a time to say some good words to me over the past year. If I forget it - remind me!

Still I manage to play live poker at work about once a week. These are great times - have fun and make money. Of course, money isn't that big, but it's something.

Just a moments ago saw a video with well-known-poker-pro-from-DUKE. I just can't figure out, do I want to laugh or cry... hah.

OK, later.

And that Rizen's post over 2p2 about signing with UB!

There's just some days, you're feeling that damn life tilt more strongly

Today I felt so fucking tired of all this "no-monies" life, that has been an issue for me for last four months, I wanted just to get drunk hard, even it's friday's mourning and I got to go to work. If I had some money, I don't know... There's just some days, you're feeling that life tilt more strongly.

There's good news, though, too. Girlfriend found a job. Weeeee! So after a month or so I will have some break. At least I hope so. Also there's a possibility to get a computer via my work - a good one, with 24" monitor [no, I don't think here about multitabling. I am thinking about designing I will be able to do at home and earn extra buck], 4GB RAM and some hyper videocard. But, as we say sometimes here in Latvia, "hopes are stupid man's relief". Or something like that.

Oh, and there's an extra - long forgotten lease company finally remembered me and now asks their funds back. Today gonna make a call to them and will try to talk my way through. Hope it works out. In big picture I even don't know, what they can do to me, apart of braking my bones. Nothing really. I have nothing.

Stay true.

Nothing really...

...cause I still have no computer at home and play a little from work now and then.

Just had a little thought about rake - in 3200 hands this month rake took 35 dollars. That means I pay 1c for every hand I play. That's a fucking ripoff, if You ask me.

Fuck it - I want to hit someone. Depressed.

[history in previous post]

Yes. Just sold my laptop due to "great" news I got from my girl - absolutely no monies from her. I don't blame her, no, but truth is, that, if we want to eat and stay at our apartament, I must sell something. And my laptop is practically only thing that I own [besides my bike and books], so he had to go. I really don't know, when I will be able to play the amazing game of poker again. The thing, that I must sell something whatsoever is really depressing. I want to hit someone right now. Really hard. Many times.

fuck it - let's celebrate

Well, it's in my personal life. Again! My girlfriend is out of work, so all living expenses is on me and it's getting really hard to get a decent living now. Again! That struggling with money is not a vacation. I even thought to sell my laptop [yes, exactly the same one, that crashed recently], but I do all I can not leave myself without poker and other stupid things I do at home. Besides, I finally start to climb out of that shithole I put myself into almost busting my account. Feeling confident in my game. Darn

Got contacted by few new bloggers via Poker Disasters and 2+2. Always nice to hear something from someone! Let's say hi to Dan with his daily grind and Munchers, who have chosen really weird name for his blog: "Becoming Poker". Ok, whatever - those dudes will be linked in blog list as soon as I get around to it.

Oh, yes, Johnny Hughes [the writer] contacted me on 2+2 also. Even if that was some sort of spam had a little chat with him. Nice.

So, fuck it - let's celebrate life and fight the next fight! [what a symphony, sheeesh!]

How to stop your downswing. Ultimate edition

Just buy Acer notebook and sooner or later that bitch will crash and send your life to hell!

January 12, 2008

I actually won! Wow!

As every saturday [when I'm not suffering a hungover], I woke up and started FTP to have some monies from them drunk americans who play shit in the middle of the night. But, unfortunately, I was on the giving end this time and lost abother three buyins. Oh, that sucked!

As steam got off, I just had nothing left in me for cash games, so I joined 600FTP s'n'g and, whadayaknow, won it and recieved 26$ tourney token. After that, on the wings of success, I joined Tier One for 8$ and finished in top five for another 26$ token.

What do I do? What do I do?

I guess I will play 17000$ and 28000$ guarantee tournaments tomorrow. What the hell!!!

Wish me luck!

Got steam! Finally! [super bonus]

As the first thing, I want to say:

KILL ALL HUMANS!!!

I guess you understand, that my day wasn't pretty in the sense of poker. I did nice reads all the way and got sucked out non-stop. Just a couple examples:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1921301


Pretty bad day - 3 buyins down in 1111 hands. It sucks. I try to remember, that it just happens and I will get my monies back in the long run, but sometimes it gets to you.

And now, after real poker content it's time for bonus - one of the hottest girls I've seen in years: that's why today here's two photos.

So, what do we watch these days?

That would be Poker After Dark Season Three, of course.

Unimportant thing first: I guess this is the first time, when an actual qualifier can sit at that table and, best of all, choose players to play against. The first lamb choose Negreanu, Matusow, Harman, Scotty and Hellmuthhhhhh. As some already said: "nightmare s'n'g". Could be. Moneywise. But, if I would be in his place, I would pick similar lineup, cause I would not go there for money, but for company.

OK, now for an important news: PAD have new hostess - Marianela Pereyra. Just can't understand those guys, who are putting her down - gorgeous girl! Click on pic to get a better view.

As for poker - 1K hands in session (4tabling) is the goal I'm following right now.

Because I am stupid [edited. guess what's added]

Story Nr.1

I got drunk. Really drunk. And come home in the early morning. As I am smart enough not to play drunk for real monies, I fire up One-get-it-all-54-player-SNG for my FTPoints. While I play with one hand [!!!! can YOU do that????] and wave goodbyes to my girlfriend, who goes to work, I end up on the final table. So I sit on the couch and after good run end up heads-up with 4:1 chiplead!

So, guess what happens?

I pass out for an hour.

Why? Cause I am stupid.

Story Nr.2

I join 500eiro freeroll at Nextpoker. Have no idea, why they send me an SMS about that, but whatever - after few tries I get that fucking software to work.

Entrants - 450. Level of play - have no idea - I am watching TV with my girl.

Bust out 52nd. 50 players paid.

Why? Cause I am stupid - my four tits [QQ] wasn't good there and I knew it.

Moral of the story?
