2 hard months of grinding

I want to play 130,000 in November and December combined. I also want to hit Supernova. Supernova players make up less than 1/10 of 1% percent of Poker Stars players. Poker Stars distributes points instead of rakeback. I want to save my points for as long as possible knowing that I can do multiple $1,500 bonuses. If I ever move out I will probably use the points for the 60 inch plasma television. I have been running at around 3.15bb/hr and I think my poor play has kept me from 5bb/hr. I know I have made some bad plays but also made some good ones.

Bill Belichick is the Coach of the New England Patriots and possibly the best coach in the history of Football. If you have never seen a post game press conference from Belichick then consider yourself lucky; he's boring, never happy about a win, and generally always thinks there were large errors in his teams play. Although no team ever plays a perfect game he expects it. I really think his attitude can be applied to viewing a poker session. He constantly strives to fix mistakes no matter how small they are. He was upset after the 52-7 win on Sunday because of 4 false starts (which is a lot). He was also upset about his specials teams players. His players are never excited and you can see it on their faces. With the score 38-0 a lineman jumped resulting in a false start and Tom Brady was ultra pissed off, cameras picked up a fuck thrown into his rant.

Can one win every single day playing poker? no. The point I'm making is to always find ways to improve, steal more blinds, check raise in certain spots, don't lead out on certain flops, etc. I had my biggest winning day this month in probably 6 months but yet felt I played very poorly and was upset with how I played. I know I cost myself some money in certain spots by making poor calls.

I plan to play another 2.5 hours today and about 4 hours tomorrow. With a strong November and December I will prove that I shouldn't return to school.

Hold your Aplause

I created a new blog http://sportsbettingasaninvestment.blogspot.com From here on out I will post my NFL picks. My goal is simple; to earn a better R.O.I. (return on investment for the stupid) than your stock broker, money manager, etc. I think pro Football is my strength but I'm also going to experiment with Basketball and possibly Hockey. I don't necessarily expect to win at Basketball or Hockey but I feel very confident that I can beat the art of betting pro Football.

I hate Halloween. Saturday I have to go to a Halloween party. I dislike dressing up in a costume. I know I'm in the vast minority, suck my balls. I have a pretty funny costume and hopefully I get to show off my Penis some. My old lady is going as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. I personally hate the Dallas Cowboys but I have to admit they have some mighty hot ladies dancing in the corner of the end zone. A neat fact about the gf is she can do the splits all the way down and we love to fuck while shes on top doing the splits.

Jokes that have bombed in real life: I don't know how this topic was started but some friends and I were talking about it a week ago. I have a few that I personally think are hilarious yet I heard Crickets.
#1 While in Calculus of Macroeconomics my teacher came in after missing the previous class inexpediency and put a ultrasound printout on the overhead, I instantly blurted out hey that doesn't look me....... Crickets
#2 Business for Personal Finance Professor was on a wild tangent like he usually was and was asking if anyone knew how to keep the Love and Passion for there wife after 25 years of Marriage. Again I instantly blurted out (80 person class) turn the lights off. I received about 25% laughs, some dirty looks, shock on my Professors face. The girls mostly gave some dirty looks. Again, womens looks will decrease in time while a successful mans money will grow in time.
#3 and I feel my funniest awkward joke moment: While sitting at orientation very hung over from the O.S.U. vs. Florida game the night before the head officer at Wayne State was talking about this new program they want to install for women to feel safer living on campus. It's basically like a silent alarm thing they can carry on there person in case of a rape (the most common crime at college besides drinking crimes), anyways this hot girl that was asking multiple questions and was named lauren left to use the bathroom and this other creepy looking kid left like 10 seconds later, I said a little to loud to the kid next to me "I hope Lauren has her rape alarm" WOW did I ever get some glares.

Fuck yourself if you don't get at least a chuckle out of any of the quick thinking I demonstrated in the above examples.

New York: Were making plans to visit New York for 4 days (December 13-16) although the date isn't set in stone. We will likely be staying in New York City.
We want to do the following:
Rockefeller Center (to see the Christmas Tree, a major thing for me)
Carriage ride through Central Park
Visit ground zero
Take a Helicopter tour or boat tour of the Statue Of Liberty
Go to ESPN Zone
Eat at numerous expensive fancy restaurants
Go to Yankee Stadium
Go to Hard Rock Cafe
Go to Little Italy
See the Brooklyn Bridge
Go to Macy's (Her)
Go to Tiffany's (Her)
Go to the Mayfield Club (now closed but some of the best Poker Players developed their games at this card club. The building still stands and I want a picture of me outside the sign.
Etc.

I'm really excited to go on Vacation (we both need it) and to visit a place I have always wanted see. Yankee Stadium is so historical. Even if you are uneducated in Sports and don't know a single Yankee Player I would assume you have heard the name Babe Ruth. The Yankee Dynasties I grew up watching, the home of Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Don Mattingly, and of course the Dynasty of Joe Torre.

It's so refreshing to meet a girl that likes sports and actually has knowledge of sports and has the time and money to vacation. Sure it was fun slamming my cock into dumb 21 year old sluts for a while and treating them horrible to make them want me, fuck them, treat them like shit, rinse and repeat. I'm much happier now with one girl, that I fuck a lot, and can actually just feel normal around.

I'm happy about the Lions win on Sunday. It was a huge win on the road. I'm optimistic but yet very cautious before showing too much emotion. I have watched the Lions blow countless games in my lifetime and suck for years. Sunday was a great step.

I'm happy about the Red Sox winning the World Series because the Red Sox are my second favorite team behind the Tigers and I was a fan when they sucked. Alex Rodriguez to become a Detroit Tiger? Well A-Rod opted out of his contract with the Yankees. Detroit, L.A., Florida, Boston and Seattle are all interested. A-Rods agent Scott Boras also managers several current Tigers (Mags, Kenny Rogers) and has had fantastic results dealing with the Tigers in the past. Personally I would love to see A-Rod in a Tigers Jersey next season. His only blemish as a person was when he was caught leaving a strip club in Toronto with some nasty blonde skank while being married. Personally if women are dumb enough to marry a very rich, very good athlete, then they deserve it. Most women want the money and fame and that's why they do it. I would be exploring other Vagina if I married A-Rods wife (not hot). It's just like how every Suburban girl wants to fuck Eminem. I bet he got little pussy back in the day except from Kim.

Moving Quickly

Hopefully I don't spend a lot of time on this update but I often can't help my off topic rants, it just comes natural to me.

Aissa and myself went Apple picking on Sunday at a place in New Boston. Neither of us had much fun. The bees were horrible (I hate bees and was stung like 25 times on 4th of July when I was a youngster and hate them). I suffered about 10 Mosquito bites on my arms and neck. She wore sandals (bad choice on her part) and was miserable walking through the tall grass with them. I was carrying two Pumpkins across the street to my truck when some asshole didn't brake and allow me to cross the other half of the road which pissed me off. After about 1.5 hours of Apple picking we had enough. As we were exiting some bald, old, overweight guy yelled at Aissa for exiting through the wrong area (not a big deal). I mean he really started to scream at her for basically nothing so I told him to shut the fuck up or I would kick his ass. My chick is a second degree black belt in Tai Kwan Do and can handle herself but it pissed me off. Apple picking sounds like a pussy whipped, cute date idea but in reality in sucked. Between the sweat, blood from Mosquito bites, her ruined sandals, etc. it blew.

Since I never really took Football betting that serious and would just throw some money on the team I liked in the game I have decided to do a mock Football betting thing. Basically my ego is so large that I think through Statistics and math I can become a winner. I always ended up a little down or a little up at the end of the season. To be a winning sports better you need to win 52.4% of the time assuming a 10% VIC. The bulk of my bets will be NFL games but I will bet College probably a lot. The amount of people that are winning sports betters after 20 years is probably 100 people. Billions are wagered each year and only maybe 100 handicappers can beat the spread over 1/5 of a Century.

Here's the breakdown:
I will bet certain games and give them a STAR RATING. In this MOCK betting system I have $1,000 that I'm prepared to lose as a bankroll, this isn't rent, food money, or for bills or anything. Each Star is $20 to be bet. Again since I had a horrible start to the season I have decided to try this FOR FUN as I was BETTING for real prior to this Sunday. Perhaps next year I will bet again for real. I will post this past Sunday's games and my bets along with last nights. In the future I will do a blog update prior to the start of the games so everyone believes me. I had a losing day on Sunday so I'm not trying to jump ahead or cheat or anything. Here we go!!!

10-21-07 Picks
** 49ers vs. Giants, take over 39.5 WON
**** Baltimore vs. Buffalo take Baltimore -3 LOST
**** Pittsburgh vs. Denver take Pittsburgh -4 LOST
** Arizona vs. Washington take over 36 WON
*** Seattle vs. St. Louis take Seattle -8 WON
** Dallas vs. Minnesota take over 46.5 LOST

10-22-07
** Jacksonville vs. Indy take Indy -4 WON

So overall between Sunday and Monday I lost $40 or 2 stars. I should clarify what a VIC is for the non sports betters that read. The VIC is a percentage the better has to pay when they lose. For all games I'm using a 10% VIC (very common) Say I bet $100 on a game and I lose then I owe the bookie $110. Every game you lose you must pay an extra 10%, the VIC doesn't apply to games I bet and win, it never applies to wins.

BET AT YOUR OWN RISK IN REAL LIFE

Also, nice of my Ravens to lose to the Bills and nice Pitt. choking against a horrible Denver team. Easily should have at least split those games.

Manny, The Grady Gals, the zoo, etc

First off, fuck anyone that is chugging haterade and hating on Manny Ramirez for his cocky actions after hitting the third straight home run in the inning (Youkilis and Ortiz hit back to back). Manny knew he hit a home run and lightly dropped the bat, walked about 10 feet to first base and slowly jogged around the bases.

The Grady Gals are ugly. Wow, Cleveland has even worse looking women than Metro Detroit. The player is Grady Sizemore and women love him. First off he is just average looking which makes me believe these stupid bitches think he is hung like Lex Steele just because of his last name. These ugly women spell out his name on white t-shirts and each bitch wears a letter. Some of these bitches are like 21ish and some appear to be like a weathered 35, these bitches look more like The Golden Girls. Florida State has the Cowgirls which are simply flawless. They are hot, young, college students, tan, with perfect bodies. I wish I could link there website here but I don't know how. If you're interested just google Florida State University Cowgirls. I can only assume the average girl would say that they are "ok" or "she doesn't look that hot" sadly ladies any man will disagree with you even if it means getting no ass from you, at least he can have his hand and the fantasy of the Cowgirls.

The Zoo was a good time on Sunday. I was able to watch some Penguins eat and even swim. We looked at countless animals including, Giraffes, Penguins, Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears, Brown Bears, Wolverines, Seals, Eagles, Kangaroos, The Butterfly garden, Lamas, The Bird house, etc. We kinda ran out of time and didn't get to enter the Reptile area or the Amphibian building.

Aissa and me are going to be planning a vacation sometime soon. I would prefer Chicago or New York as I have never been to either. I would prefer to go to Chicago in late Summer to catch a Chicago Cubs game. I would prefer New York around December so I can see the big Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center. I have always wanted to go to New York a few weeks before Christmas but only for a few days. So hopefully in early December we go to New York or Chicago. She has vacation time to use before the end of the year and I am smarter than anyone that preaches useless advice to me and work from home and create my own schedule. Not working for the man is awesome.

Dominic my Accountant is beyond an interesting man. I went in to pay some taxes based on 06 income last Thursday (notice I said based on 06 income NOT FROM 06), I don't want people to think I don't pay taxes. Dominic has been my parents Acct. for 30 years and I have gone to him since I started working at age 16. He doesn't talk on the phone, PERIOD. When you are in his office you are sitting about 15 inches away from him while he talks very very quietly. Dominic is a very smart Acct. and roughly 75 years old. He hides the absolute most from the Government which is what any person would want but his paranoia is almost funny to some extent. He smokes Moore's (the long brown cigarettes) one after another and has smoked 5 packs a day dating back to when my parents started going to him 30 years ago. Horses are his passion and owns several very expensive breads. He probably seems shady but he's just so damn good that the paranoia problems him. He doesn't have a big shinny new office, he has two assistants, drives a early 2000's Cadillac, yet will spend a few hundred grand on a horse.

Sorry blogger will not allow me to post pictures because they are having some technical issues so I will post Zoo pictures another time.

Going to the Zoo Sunday

I can't wait to see the Penguins. Apple picking is next Sunday (not super excited). Goal is from Monday the 15th to the end of the month to grind 30,000 hands. Baseball playoffs, college ball, pro football, hockey season starting, it's my favorite time of year. Christmas is around the corner (my favorite holiday by far).

I'm happy

I had a fantastic Anniversary Dinner last night followed by about 1 hour of fantastic sex. I'm a big fan of Penguins. For some reason I have always been intrigued and interested in Penguins. Some people like Monkey's others like Lions, I prefer Penguins. Aissa bought me a beanie baby Penguin which I dig. I have always said how much I appreciate the small things in life and small thoughts. It showed her care for me and that she truly does listen to me. I had a rough heads up session in O8 vs. a good player although I think he sucks and seems to be a douchebag, I'm referring to "Stevesbets" on Stars and "Glove55" on Full Tilt. I came out a small winner but should have easily murdered him. Aissa sent me an E-Card to cheer me up. Things like that mean the world to me.

LSU just beat Florida which I'm happy about. I watched the whole game and found it to be the best game I have watched this season. I hate The University Of Florida, their fans, head coach Urban Meyer, team, and of course arrogant QB Tebow. Sadly USC lost to Stanford in a major upset. I will be very glad to see John David leave USC and they can start a new QB.

I think after the Lions game tomorrow we might see the new Jamie Fox movie. We went golfing last Sunday and I soaked her panties (very cute with a butterfly on them) with an amazing putt and overall played awesome for not golfing basically at all this Summer, she shocked me for it being her first time golfing.

Taking a few days off

I probably will not play any poker until like Monday or so. I need a break to just relax and get my focus back. Friday is my one month anniversary so were going out to a nice dinner and then hanging out. College football, pro football, baseball playoffs, hockey season starting, I can easily take a few days off from the game without being bored out of my mind. I could say how bad I'm playing and running and tilting but whats the use? Taking a break is the best thing for me right now. My confidence is gone right now and that's a major problem, time is the only thing to regain it. Everyone always says to take a short break and you'll come back playing better. I have found this to be very true.
