Not at all, but you gotta puff puff pass though.


I will be having some vodka icecold







A few things I kinda realized yesterday, while unrelatedly playing some Pro Evolution Soccer 6:

1) Many want to go to heaven, but few want to die to do so.
2) No matter how you look at it, as long as your opponent is not drawing dead, there are at least (52 - 20 - 1burn - 3flop) at least 29 cards to come by turn and river. Thats not a lot. I mean, thats like 1/29 to hit a card he might need, and obviously a bigger chance to hit more. Obviously, since a clean out is 2.5% (which is even less than this) and somebody could have also folded it, makes it even more interesting.
With this I mean is, that as long as the opponent is not drawing dead, there is always the chance he will hit. And this chance, is never tooo little, like 1 in 1 million.
3) The game is perfect. You, however, are not and will never be. Remember this.
You can strive to perfection, but you will not attain this, for the simple fact that you are human, and humans commit lots of errors all the time.
4) You have to forget about your big losses, but by association, you also have to forget about your big wins.
5) There are people who do it, and people who document it. Someone who documents cannot actually do it, and vice versa


On my game: I have gotten a lot better at closing the deal when playing tournaments. I have finally won my first $4,40, despite having coming in 2nd multiple times before. Basically, I get to the FT, but then I can only get either 2nd or 3rd. No other spots. While it has been very profitable during the course of my play, it has also been very frustrating.


Oh, and these things keep coming. Its specially nice, on a day in which I couldnt win a coinflip to save my life. And yes, I continue playing massively overrolled to my current stakes in SNGs. I'm leaving a lot of money on the table. I guess I'm very risk averse, I just don't like seeing that bankroll moving in the wrong direction with too big steps. Also, I got my roll spread out on 4 sites, mith a max of 750 on stars and a min of 200 on FT. about 600 on both ongame and PKR. about $300 sitting randomly in my moneybookers account. Maybe I should put it all in one place and grind it out?
