That's some pretty twisted logic you're using.

Carry on. The world is your canvas.
Ya, because spray painting someone's car/house is exactly the same as spray painting some decrepit run-down cement wall under a remote railway track.

Goh,wait,it'snotthesamething?G

Just to be clear, I try to use a little discretion and I won't be tagging any cars or residences.

I'm not trying to win everyone over, simply offering my view as an artist. I've never been a fan of authority and I never claimed to be 100% moral.

Yes, it was intentionally absurd. The only point being, that the "canvas" he's using to paint on does not belong to him. Whether it's private or public property, he's still defacing it without permission, just like people who litter in the parks are defacing those parks in a sense.

His efforts to pick up trash in public parks is laudable, and most would probably agree. He should take a poll of those who show up to help and see what they think of his graffiti project. Might they be more or less inclined to help with that knowledge?

I understand your position. Personally I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. Maybe I could spend more time and effort trying to promote legal public art projects.

Some people value the convenience of tossing trash on the ground rather than in a trash can. No big deal, that is their choice. I pick it up because that's what I want to do. I really don't mind what people think of me, I'm going to do what I do either way, if people want to asist they are welcome.

What happens when Aesah is playing poker one day and gets a tap on the shoulder. He turns around and they ask are you Aesah? He confirms and they place him under arrest for destruction of property?

I have actually turned up and collected rubbish in the park recently with Pure Aggresion (great experience and highly recommended BTW). Morally, I believe that graffiti art has significant merit, and that Carl wouldn't intentionally damage property! There is much research on the subject---check out the Project Muse database on any university server for reliable data in this respect---and I suggest you read this research so at least your argument is more informed. Anyway, thus far the poll is 100% in favour, but I guess you could make a counter-argument about sample-size.

It was like he needed runner runner perfect cards, the first one was getting the $ from Landau and the second was winning the HU. All the other options had failed and these were last resorts.

The professor actually does say "this is all I can afford to give you"

^ Yeah, not gotten 15K from him. He could have not gone to Binghamton with the roll at only $7,300 and asked the professor for the other half. Or knew Worm was going to do something stupid when he came into the police game, and left with the +$4,200 and knew he could have asked Knish or the professor for the other $3,500.

The worst thing is that in the trailer the black guy from jail who took the Qs in the hearts game gets out and walks in on a game Worm is playing in and says something like "Don't you guys realize he wins every hand he deals?" But he never gets out of jail in the actual movie.

Please feel free to do a Lotgrinder graffiti job somewhere in the city and I'll make it my official photo for a while. I'll even come out and take a picture in front of it. I've got a new look for this years series to keep my normal walking clothes identity secret.



Please incorporate red, white, and blue coloring if you do it.

"You can’t wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club" - Jack London

Spring Mountain State Park





Whitney Mesa



I ended up only playing one short session. Easily my longest break from poker I've taken in forever. I haven't been running bad or anything, things are going about average. I just haven't felt like playing and I am privileged to not have to play if I don't want to. It's put me behind pace but I am about to go ape**** with volume during WSOP to surpass my yearly target pace no problem.

Met a few cool girls from tinder. Got laid for the first time in a few months, always feels good to break a dry spell. I still want to get better at club game even though that is out of my comfort zone, should be going out a few times once more 2+2 buddies are in town to party and win some money. I'll probably try and go out every night for the whole week following the completion of WSOP. Girls are definitely a distraction so I'll try to balance it out as best I can.

I just got to LA, gunna hangout and do some fun **** during the day and grind Commerce and The Bike at night, this is my last little excursion before I buckle down in Vegas and get back into hardcore poker mode. I'll be focusing on posting more poker-centric content in here.

Here is my latest vlog-



Here is a song I wrote called "Erratic Journey"-



Add me on IG @unconventional_art for little doses of inspiration-

Thanks so much for helping out with the volunteer work! Thanks for the thumbs up on my 2+2 art project.

Despite the unbelievable aspects, still a classic poker movie and a glimpse into the poker world before online poker.

Don't worry about upping your club game too much brother.

Find an outlet/place that works best for you and then don't be afraid to go back to that same well that's produced water over and over again. The time we have to exist is so little in the grand scheme of the universe and no one deserves to spend it alone unless they want to.....

If the club or any certain place has not worked for you when it comes to meeting women why force something that just isn't there? It's all about game selection hoss. If you are getting a number for every three girls you prospect on social media and only one number for every ten girls you prospect at clubs why would you want to keep playing the other game?

Most those club rats are good for only one thing anyway.

I do like the idea of going out and being more social to EVERYONE, though.

Agree with LotGrinder. Being social is so much more than the club. I'd argue for lots of people that the club is actually a way to mask their anti-social behavior with loud music. Just find people that like doing some of the same things you like, and be open to new things. gl

I have to delurk and say that you have reached a milestone with your art, in my opinion.

Whatever place you were at with yourself when you created the latest efforts two weeks ago is a solid place. Was it the Tinder action? Hey, it worked.
