Money jus' a pour like rain

I feel like shit right now, it was alot worse this morning though, but I could really use some sleep right now. Was drunk last night at a birthday party, and I puked on my way home, it was so awesome dude. 24 is the new 14.

It's snowing alot here in Denmark right now, I always enjoyed that. People seem to hate alot on snow. I never understood those haters. Inner peace arrives whenever snow appears, uhmmmm. Yeah, snow is cold - but that doesn't really matter when you spent most of your life indoors like me.

In my previous post I told about a legendary fish and me being on a neverending waitinglist. Well, as it turned out I actually got a seat. Not only did I get to play this psychopath, but along came another legend at a second table. Life was good, fortune was smiling directly into my ugly face, or so I thought. Before I could say "yellow snow 4 u!" I was down 5 buyins. I played those two tables for about 3-4 hours, and was swinging all over the place, I ended down a couple of buyins. Which was very disappointing considering the games I was playing. Those two moneyhating idiots gave away around 10 buyins each, and I didn't get a single piece.

At around 5 in the morning, one of them was still sitting with over 220bbs, but I had to leave, couldn't see straight and had a really hard time keeping my eyes open. I was so incredibly tired, and would probably donk off some more if I had stayed. But fortunately I had a good session the next morning, so that made me feel pretty good, me being results oriented and all. Here's some different hands from the past couple of days, including some against psychopath 1 and 2:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3733814 - Here sicko #1 decides to bet/call the flop with AQ in a rr pot, which I think is a wonderful play.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3733819 - Here I valuevillage myself against the same sicko.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3733834 - Motherfucker yeah.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3733838 - Here Charles Manson decides to barrel me.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3733876 - The king with the axe. K7.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3733881 - The king with the axe makes heads roll once again.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3733896 - Here I get superowned at 2/4. You dig?

That's it for now, I had to leave out some hands for various reasons. Before I leave I want to share this lovely clip with you. Possibly one of the greatest scenes in the history of comedies. "You coming with!"

Soundtrack of today: Eek-A-Mouse - Ganja Smuggling

Like Judas of old you lie and deceive

(Obove picture is the westbank wall which violates international law)

Played around 1700 hands today. Started down a ton. Then I played Domcee for some time HU and stacked him. Then he left. Then along came julie, I stacked him aswell. Then quit. Ended exactly even steven for the day. Ice cold spranklayn danish-water and some Pizza. Ah. Then suddenly, the networks biggest donk dumps in.. (name is hidden for the sake of mohnayz yo) I panic and press the wrong button, unfortunately I end up as number 3 on the waitinglist, and now I've been waiting 3-4 hours to get a seat. Guess nobody got anything better to do.

I'm going to a friends birthday party tomorrow night, so I probably won't be playing much this weekend. But I'm pretty excited about starting up the powergrinding machine on monday. Now I'm gonna get some sleep, goodnight.

The soundtrack of today was written back in 1963 and is perhaps even more relevant today:

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

Soundtrack of today: Bob Dylan - Masters Of War

Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on

I had a good night's sleep, so I was feeling really good when I woke up this morning. Had a couple of hours to grind in the morning, before a friend of mine picked me up. We went to a big spa and wellness center up north, yeah.. I know. But it was really nice and relaxing, they had all sorts of thermal baths, saunas and what not. Fresh fruit aswell. Grapes, bananas, melons, apples, oranges and kiwi's. I should eat fruit more often, it's so good. They had this big massage-machine (no, it wasn't a plastic cock) which worked wonders. I was lying there listening to ocean waves on the speaker trying to cleanse my mind, and that wasn't easy. But I actually enjoyed the whole wacky wellness stuff alot. Which I've hated on quite alot before. I will probably be going there again some time soon, whenever I need a break from looking into a screen.

"But jeger.. how did your two hour session go this morning?" I thought you'd never ask. Well, it went bad. I think I played quite good to be honest, but what can you do:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3720081 - Ah, sweet ship it, lets see here.. yes, ok nice, good, ah wait.. oh, lovely.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3720100 - This is what dreams are made of

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3720107 - Riot On An Empty Street

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3720118 - OOP is the new goldmine

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3720121 - Here I actually get it shipped

Felt good afterwards though, and tomorrow is a new day. Btw, I added an "Auto Rebuy" function to the Boss Media software buglist, that would be really nice to have in cashgames.

Now I'm gonna finish off the day with a cup of tea and perhaps a movie. Another thing.. I just got reminded that Lost will be back on the 21st. The wait is finally over! I love this series so much, and if you haven't watched it yet, you definately should. Now.

The soundtrack of today is a really good Black Sabbath track that stands out quite a bit from their other songs. There's been many discussions about who actually did the vocals on this. It definately doesn't sound like Ozzy, and some people claim Geezer Butler as the man with the mic. Either way it's amazing. Holla front.

Soundtrack of today: Black Sabbath - Solitude

Betty said she prayed today, for the sky to blow away

Today I woke up pretty late, and had a hard time getting out of bed. But I did manage to lift my feet into the shower, where I stood like a zombie for 30 minutes. Afterwards I had some breakfast which quickly helped me gain strength. Saw a bit television, which I hardly ever do no more, since I read most news related stuff on the net anyways. Then decided to grind a decent amount:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3715933 - I wiiiehhlll nooht toleraaajjte diiez aniiimoarrre

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3715938 - Ice ice baby

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3715943 - 3way ai... (pssst.. this is actually a winning hand)

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3715949 - S to the T to the motherfucking D

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3715953 - I think I'm gonna adjust and 3bet shove from now on

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3715965 - Hideous setup, vomitus maximus.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3715981 - This guy was so tilted, I almost started crying when he left.

The day didn't go all that well, but I was fairly happy with the way I played. All donks took a piece of me today. Soon I shall return to them and once again make a feast. Meh.

I have sent all the suggestions from my previous post through to Boss Media, although I highly doubt anyone will listen.

I'm probably going on vacation on the 23rd day of the year with my girlfriend. We haven't decided where to go yet, but I think it'll be either London or something like the Maldives. We only have about 7 days, so Maldives might be kinda hectic with all the traveling, and London is not more than an hour away. But I could seriously use some warm weather right now.

Now I'm gonna get some sleep. Peace out in the house, and goodnight. Make sure not to forget the soundtrack of today, it's classic material.

Soundtrack of today: Nick Drake - River Man

Are you a teacher of the heart? Yes, but not for thee.

I came to the conclusion that a couple of days off would be for the best, and instead of grinding I could put some focus and energy into studying my game more in depth. Sharpen my knife a little, so to speak. I have printed out some hand histories from the past 3 months, some big pots and some minor, from 30bbs and above. I too like to analyze hands in front of my computer, where I am able to use Pokerstove, HEM and what not. Which I almost always do. But at times I actually prefer sitting in my couch puzzling over hands printed out on paper. Ol'skool steeze.

I have lots of suggestions for improvement at Boss Media, the network where I mostly play. And I am not the only one, people have been discussing it back and forth in this regulars thread at 2+2. Some of the things I feel is very important. Let's make a bugreport:

- Timebank in cashgames
Pretty much all major sites has this function. Boss Media has promised this several times, but nothing ever happens. The timebank is implemented in tournaments, and other independent networks who uses the Boss software has timebanks in cashgames, such as the Austrian Win2Day. So we know for a fact that it only requires at buttonpush to activate them. I can't find any other explanation than Boss is being greedy. They probably think the timebanks will stall the games, and therefore won't create as much rake. This is unacceptable. Atleast consider increasing our time to act postflop.

- Focus stealing
This is one of the most frustrating bugs in the history of computer software. When multitabling you actually have to doubleclick actionbuttons in order to act on a new table. Not to mention the frustration that arises when typing in IMs or browsers.

- Reversed blinds HU
When a table is breaking up and 3 players are seated, but one decides to sit out, the blinds reverse for the 2 players sitting heads up. BTN becomes the BB. This has to be fixed, as it is extremely annoying. Doesn't seem too intellectually overwhelming for a programmer.

- Chat option saved
Every time you open a new table you have to edit your chat options in the menu. Your option should be saved like the muck-options.

- Get rid of turbotables/Ability to hide turbotables in the lobby
Turbotables pisses everyone off. Especially multitabling grinders. I realize there's probably a bigger chance that I win the main event this year, than these turbotables will be removed. (I'm not playing the main event this year). But atleast give us the option to show/hide the tables in a checkbox in the lobby.

- Wait for bigblind
After sitting out you don't have the ability to click "Wait for big blind", instead you have to wait untill you are UTG on each table and click "I'm back". This can cause panicattacks when multitabling. Especially for those of us who still goes to the toilet in order to take a piss. Bottles are for cavemen.

- Minor irritating stuff
I understand why some might want resizeable tables, but honestly, if you grind alot simply get a bigger screen. This shouldn't be the programmers first priority. It looks like the rakeraces are here to stay, since Boss found another way to make more money. It's harder for donks to get seats, and we don't want that. Some people keep asking why you can't see mucked cards on Boss, and I actually consider this a good thing. I know the EV calculators won't work properly - so you aren't able to see how you missclicked your way into the higher games. Tough luck. One last thing I would like to address is the dreadful stability of the servers. Sometimes the tables lag for up to 30 seconds, untill the play continues. From time to time tables close down without warning in the middle of gameplay. This shouldn't even be an issue. If you have anything to add I would love to hear it.

AAAAARGH! That was actually pretty fucking boring to write.

I always hoped this day would never come, but I'm actually going to call a dentist for an apointment after I finish this post. Sigh. Afterwards I'm gonna be a nerd and study handranges.

When I took a shower this morning I heard todays soundtrack multiple times very loud. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Soundtrack of today: Leonard Cohen - Teachers

Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?

As promised.. I found some hands to post, I didnt want to spend the whole afternoon looking for all the goodies, so I decided to settle with this. Some hands are pretty std ul w/e, and some are fun as fuck. Why am I not posting hands where I own people's soul? That's not half as fun, besides - my enemies might sneak around. I re-read some parts of Elements of Poker, hoping this will help me find peace once and for all, furthermore realize and accept these somewhat cruel aspects of the game. All this shouldn't come as a surprise. But I guess it did.


http://www.pokerhand.org/?3700078 - Meh

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3700131 - Laughing was all they ever did.

And yet despite all this, I actually feel fine. Now I'm gonna make a warm cup of chocolate and watch a movie. Make sure not to miss the soundtrack of today, it's easily on my top 20 of all time songs. (Remind me to make a list some time in the nearest future). I also forgot to wish you all a happy new year, so best of luck to you in all regards in 2009.

Soundtrack of today: Pink Floyd - Hey you

Oh hey man, it's been a while.. how are you?

Hey, yeah.. well, I've been good actually, untill now.. month of november:

Would someone please drive an axe through my head multiple times?
I promised myself I wouldn't post hands in here again, or at least not crazy suckouts, coolers or whatnot. I can't stand listening to myself whining over an over. But since you all asked for it.. (Especially -reptile-) I won't let you down. Viewer discretion is advised.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467652 - I don't know what to think, or say.. or feel..

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467661 - The gates of hell are open night and day, come join us.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467704 - 5betting KJo is recommendable if you like money.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3469372 - I guess calling 55 oop with 100bbs against me is +ev

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467688 - This is never a fold, fuck you all who says otherwise.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467706 - And.. wait.. no.. wait.. YES HE GOES FOR THE OVERKILL!

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467691 - I feel like saying std whatever, but the words coming out of my mouth is more like fuckyoupieceofshitnowimgonnatiltanddieslowlybye.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467726 - Utg.. utg+1.. stack off... everytime.. lost.. for.. words.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467714 - Set over set actually isn't extinct like some of you falsely believe.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467738 - Fold pf they all yelled, boohoo.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467745 - This one is actually kinda interesting/funny as fuck.. should I actually fold.. HU?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467871 - Especially when he stacks off like this?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467753 - Yeah, I know.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467757 - I always wondered why he never plays anyone, but I guess it's because he doesn't know how to play. Oh no, postflop makes me cry - I think I shove!

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3467762 - 7 of 9.. I love you. Please fuck me harder.

I guess that's it for now. But stay tuned.. untill next time where we'll bring you lots of more fun stuff.

Now on the serious side.. I'm gonna take some days off, don't know how long, but I need to get my mind of the game. Can't focus.. and starting to semitilt in some spots, which is bad and not something I'm used to. Whoever said playing cards for a living is all fuuuunnies and monniiiies? Motherphuck you.

I need another vacation like this:

Soundtrack of today: Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
