Speaking of tournaments, I noticed the FTOPS is coming up in a few days and I have some questions. I'm not a tournament player and play cash games exclusively so I'm unfamiliar with any sort of staking agreement or split (if I sold action and bought in myself). What are common examples for both of these.

Also there are more events than I'd want to buy into, despite being capable of playing them. So is there a forum or thread or whatever where I can possibly find someone to stake me and/or sell action to?

Does anyone have the Dell 2709W? Is it worth the price difference with a cheap Samsung 26" TN screen?

Mmm, never heard of that one before.

This sucks:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnApFzmd9NY

47ms input lag apparently.

I have a Acer 22" now and I don't know how much that one has.

I'm assuming 30" screens suffer from the same problem?

Is the Samsung 275T better in this regard?

Apparently the 275T has 50ms input lag too, and TN screen have 0 input lag says this guy:
http://www.yougamers.com/forum/showp...7&postcount=10

Maybe I should consider a 26" Samsung TN then, although I could always just game on my old 22" Acer. Main question then is: is the input lag noticeable/irritating for poker/normal usage?

[12:04] philsaurus: give me 3:1
[12:04] jalexand42: done

That's what I call a 'snap call'. :P

Before our conversation I kinda forgot that rutgers plays football. I just thought they had a women's basketball team.

I really need to stop taking shots.

this years shots at 25/50, and a very small bit of 50/1.

I keep telling myself it will turn around, and once I run good at a higher limit I can make it all back quick. I'm starting to think this isn't true.

also, i think i spent far too much time in euroland as approx. 75% of my grind music this month has consisted of dancehall/techno/club mixes.

in the middle of a 35BI downer, I am playing terribly. But lol still 150+ BI roll.

I have no motivation, I honestly couldn't give two ****s if I ever play another hand of poker again.

Not really upset or frustrated, kinda calm which might be a good or bad thing.

Going to sleep, hopefully this passes at some point
