wtf at both the gif and the hh


the lady had some huge balls. dead monies yo

Anyone have an opinion as to whether it's time to switch to HM2?? Obv not worried about the $45 upgrade or whatever more concerned with putting in the time to get everything set up and having it suck/full of bugs etc.

Don't do it. I've been here since July and coming here was legitimately the worse decision I've made regarding poker. I was grinding the 5/10NL at Borgata before coming here and those games and the poker scene in general are a lot better than Florida.

There is more PLO here in South Florida but the really good games are private and unless you have a friend that can get you in, it's not worth it to come for PLO. A lot of bumhunters in the PLO games. A table will break up to six handed because the biggest fish leaves.

At Borgata, I've played multiple hours of heads up late at night with different people. I haven't played one hand of heads up in Florida. No one tries to keep games going here in my experience.

Borgata>>>>>>South Florida casinos. Private games may be different but I can't say. In my mind Vegas should be better than both but I still haven't been to Vegas. Maybe someone with experience grinding in AC and Vegas can speak on that.

During non tournament times AC>Vegas ainec.

borgata >>>>>>>>>>> vegas. its only better during the summer and even then you have to deal with bull**** rio dealers for the best games.

i hate new jersey though so probably not going back.

As boss as those kids are, they'd probably appreciate donated clean water, or sustainable food sources and not to be a part of an experiment imo.

It crashed today while I was 12 tabling, and wouldn't restart. I had to hunt through my processes to close it down. They cant seem to keep a handle on performance issues.

hey all

my blog of travel and life has been updated, improved, and moved to a new address at:

www.WillsBlogofTravelandLife.com

same stuff, but now a section dedicated to photographs as well. mods, delete if this is spam

currently 10 months into my trip, and now in Helsinki, Finland. will be making the trip overland through Europe and North Africa to Senegal pretty soon. from there, i'll be doing some teaching Guinea for a bit, and spending about 4 months in West Africa as a whole. fingers crossed for Sierra Leone/Liberia travels.

next, i'm planning to head back up through Spain, ferry my way across the Mediterranean to Egypt, up into Israel, and then head overland/sea through Cyprus, Turkey, 3 of the Stan's, down into India, through Nepal, up around Myanmar, and down to Malaysia.

So yea..for the next ~14 months..from Stockholm (where I was last week) to Kuala Lumpur..with no airplanes. this is the goal.

stories and photos in the blog. i post here because y'all tell me you enjoy reading.

crazy to think this all started with a $50 deposit on FTP 8 years ago..

wooopwoop

p.s. i'm a travel masochist who enjoys sitting on buses for days at a time. this is one reason i've chosen to do this..

will, this is awesome

looks like a very sweet blog Will

have u seen the vimeo video a 2p2er made of his travels ?

many thanks. we saw inception together in toronto, remember?

also i want to answer negative to your question, but then again, it's rather ambiguous

yeah I remember

here's the thread:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/34...-made-1224477/

Hey guys what's up? Some of you might remember me, old timer used to post a ton. Long time since I've posted or played. Just a little plug for two things I've done recently, mods can delete or whatever if it's not cool.

Came out with 2 iPhone apps recently:
The first is "Sweepstakes Free", it is what it says it is, a free 100% ad supported sweepstakes app. For now after we've just launched a few weeks ago the jackpots of $20 a day and $100 a week are coming from our own pockets. Also, once we start breaking even with ad revenue, we're going to be giving away 100% of our net revenue to maximise growth for a while. So if you want some free EV download this and enter while the odds are great

The second is called "iBang". You put it on the bed when you're having sex, and it counts the number of thrusts you make. There's some apps like this, but this is the first app to accurately count the actual number of thrusts lol.

Feel free to post or PM and questions or feedback you have, I'd be happy to answer them. Cheers!

Interesting. You should also consider developing an app that tracks strokes and call it FapBit.

Did you create the apps or did you hire a developer? Curious what the costs are.

do you love poker less when you run under EV (or into the tops of everyone's ranges/whateveR)? And if the answer to the previous question is yes then how bad do/would you have to run before you quit playing professionally?

obviously everyone's answers to this would be personal. but I'm interested to hear them. I'm having trouble separating my feelings about poker from how bad I'm running (over 150 BI under EV for the year). which makes it difficult to think about my future as a professional.

Haha, nice take on the fitbit name Wanted to make a sister app or in-app-purchase called "iFap", but sadly, the sensitivity of the accelerometer's not enough to pick up mere faps ^^

Hired developers for both. Costs for apps like these pre-marketing range from about realistically $5k plus if you use freelancer.com / oDesk and hire contractors directly (you have to be careful, and really spec your project well and to the letter, lot's of horror stories from people using these). To about $25k and up if you use an established western app development firm, on the low end, can go a lot higher.

It's completely natural to have strong feelings of doubt and even a loathing for the game when running abysmal for long stretches of time. To me it feels as if I'm in an entirely different dimension where my timing is completely off, every star out of alignment with success. And I can feel it too, it's palpable. I've always wondered if it's my brain's circuitry rewiring to adjust and perhaps cope with the stress, or an extra sensory perception that my subconscious is manifesting to warn me of impending doom. Or maybe it's just what it feels like when there is a shift from presence in the moment to identifying with thought and the ensuing emotions brought on by entertaining it. I know for certain that my perceptions about poker and gambling in general had a major overhaul once I ceased taking anti-depressant medications in 2008. Play before then seems now like an altered reality.

this is a much deeper level than I was initially thinking, but I find it intriguing. In the most simplistic since I can't determine if I enjoy playing for a living anymore. I know that I enjoy the flexibility and freedom (who wouldn't?) but I'm not sure if I enjoy the game. I've been running so bad for so long it's hard to remember the real joy of playing and grinding. If you include the BF/FTP disaster I'm running over 300BI below EV (because I still haven't gotten that FTP money) in the last year and a half. And I basically had to start over and grind from scratch last summer since I wouldn't go into my savings.

So it's been 15 months of battling and repeatedly getting kicked in the nuts. And then getting back up and battling. But never really making headway because I can't run decent enough for long enough to really grow my roll. Because FTP owners embezzeled my roll, and thus eliminated my safeguards and protections against the run bad. My savings bought me enough time to rebuild a roll and get back into the game, but I can't grow it because I'm running 150 BI under EV this year. So I'm like stuck in poker purgatory.

I grind, but I basically win enough to pay the bills and watch my yellow line go up while my green line trails it. I'm getting to the point where I think it's time to leave the game and put my bach and masters degrees to work, but this isn't how I wanted to go out. I feel like it's not on my own terms. And that's the most frustrating thing of all. I'm not a gambler. Never have been. I built the roll from scratch. I never deposited. I never wanted to. I never degened away my roll, I never praticed bad bankroll management. I'm not broke nor will I ever be. But I may have to leave the game because I can't stand running this bad for this long, and at some point I have to relieve the stress by getting a regular paycheck.

Because the stress sucks. And I had avoided it by building a massive roll that could withstand any DS. but that got taken from me.

and now I'm rambling.

I'd love to hear more people's thoughts on this line of discussion.
