Jack's Bar

Hit me some bourbon



A lot going on. i'll update sometime.

Jack my brother...hit me up with souhtern comf + gingr ale or somethig nasty like that- jus a drink for a man, whose shadows of the past destroyd his plans for tzhe future

I got ya bro



Just always remember XTR, as Buddha would say:

Don't dwell on the past, nor wonder on the future. Concentrate on living the present and enjoying every minute of it.

Mazel! Almost time for the end of week crunk...

anyone need a G&T?

i'm going to mix some up


sarbox lets party

I'm breaking out the Secret Weapon



This is like the best rum ever ever. So good, it has Fecundo Bacardi's sign of approval on it.

I'm heading out to play some basketball, and do some running. Later tonight I'll go to a fashion show thingie too, hopefully I can score a slamdunk.. . or two...

Now all i got to try is keep this up every day

good luck tonight jack!

TNX dude. While that night I actually got angry at all the frivolousness going on, I actually for some reason got an eureka moment. I left early also. fucking models


yesterday, as in sunday night, went much better girls-wise.



i have been much more into personal development over the past few days/ weeks/ months, and its starting to yield great results imo.

i also discovered onenote on my computer, and it was exactly the kind of thing i needed. i actually had a mac and had a program called omni outliner a while ago, and i was wondering to get the same program or an equivalent for windows. i finally did.

What a poker blog this is LOL

ok, to satisfy the pundits. Here are a few things I came across;


play as many tables as you possibly can while maintaining your a-game. as many as you can control yourself, if that makes sense.

do not play tired.

always, always, always expect the worst.

play more hands! it does not matter how many hands you have played: play more.

variance is a bitch. i know. now stfu or tell me something new.


there, better.

Jack, where in the Caribbean do u live?

Gonna hit up St-Maarten and St-Thomas somewhere in between nov15-nov 23

Curaçao man, the biggest of the ABC islands. Its relatively quite far away from Sint Maarten (which is one of our sister islands, country wise) and Sint Thomas. We are in what is called the Leeward Antilles; the name of the country is the Netherlands Antilles.

Sint Maarten is very nice too, but for some reason, its devastated by a different hurricane annually

Have lots of fun though. if by any chance you get to Curaçao, let me know and I'll get you my contact info. I'll tour ya around. Beach, booze and bitches basically

hey Jack,
it just came to my knowledge that you serve alcoholic beverages during (european) dayhours. your selection of rum must be awesome over there, though I`d go for a bloody mary this morning due to deprivation of minerals. may I ask you to shoot it up with russian standard, citadel or grey goose?

hags

Of course! Here you go, made with grey goose as per house rules



I'm gonna serve Grey Goose until I get some Ketel One, which i hear is the best out there, made from potatoes and stuff.

Things to reflect upon (tm):



If you get called a motherfucker, its a good thing.

sadly, for the slow comfortable screw against the wall 151 times in the dark, I dont have all the ingredients at hand. instead, I offer you a unlimited shots of bacardi 151




and damn, i'm still reinstalling. some jose cuervo does indeed make the time pass quicker

hey thanx jack...you certainly are a good host...i'm gonn sit over there at the golden tee game......cheers!

If i ever invent my own drink, imma call it:

i made you the simplest variant, with Bailey's and Sambuca layered. sadly, there are no real nipples involved in the creation of this shooter

hurry to the trademarking office with that name! i wonder what you'll put in it though.

Crap, still no poker for me. I'm trying to make the perfect installation, and then back it up to an external drive, so when my harddrive fails or i get trojanned in the future, i'll just load up the image and voila!

in the meantime, let me put up a song in here:

afterlife - show you something

hey im not knockin free booze..i just am used the red stuff in it...

hmm..since im here...jim beam black n coke?

and heres a tip for ya..



my girl just got done workin..

of course! here you go




and thanks for the tips. your girlfriend is more than welcome to stop by
we tip here well too, since after all, we are all poker players by some measure





These days have been like an epic life epiphany for me. I am like finding my long lost self. And not poker, but in life in general. An easy way to explain it would be that my ability for abstract thinking just got out of control, and that i now understand the how and why of things in general much easier.







I also went to do shopping today, and to my delight, I saw that they had Bacardi selecta, Bacardi Gold, Bacardi 8 años and Bacardi Black. Its like the full monty, the whole shebang. the best fucking rum in the world, not the uncolored pieces of shit they serve you at every social gathering you go to, but the real deal.


Its orgasmic.



So, I am serving some 8 años now for everybody in here, mix with coke or sprite or any other fluid you may think of at discretion

i haven't been this focused and driven in years! i finally have my thoughts organized, and focused, i dunno how to describe it, but it feels amazing.

you should write em down some where...oh..wait..damn...jack got me drunk again...


woooooooooooooooo

Good for you Jack!

Abstract thinking - epiphanies - a deeper undersanding of everything... you'll be doing breathing excercises next

haha - only joking, great job - pleased things are going well for you! =)

TNX man, LOL @ breathing exercises!

I knew a guy who felt like that... like all of a sudden could zero in on anything and motivation was through the roof... getting all kind of stuff done. Was pretty insane to be around.

He got hit by a train... so stay away from trains.

Hey now this looked like a good thread what happened? So I'll take a really small Coke and a really big double of Tuaca on the side!

Oh hey who is that chick on your avatar Jack? Damn a boy needs some of that!

bar room talk man, makes you wonder about the variety of things discussed with a few drinks in

anyways, here you go






and about the chick, she goes by the name of Jessica Rabbit.

hmmm...

if heads up, with say 9:1 chip advantage, depending on blinds, should you simply push atc? assuming the short stack has like 3 BB left( meaning you got 28 ~ 30), no antes for simplicities sake.

its a trick question imo

Ok I'm a noobie so I'll more likely than not fail the trick questoin test! But I sit back and wait for a fairly strong advantage before shoving the short stack. I hate to double them up a time or two then suddenly they get the momentum going and are a problem. Don't know if that is the correct way to play it but that's how I roll..At least for now until I learn more!

last avatar babe and current who are they?
WOW!

NH SIR

TYTY flomo

last babe = Jessica Rabbit.

this babe = just a random dutch chick

ok..i need a name for that dutch chick...or where did u find her?

Dear Jack,

thank you for having hot female avatars again. I´m gonna call the dutch girl Mareijke from now on. Tell her I said Hi.

Let us now have a Grey Goose before I head out to the bar, looking for random dutch girls.

Cheers, Toto

thx for hanging out on over

hags

1900 IMO


here you go hagscel



and also, great tunes man! thanx for sharing!

http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/20098

mmm.thanx rilla..

Rilla, I really wanted to know what happened to the Grey Goose. Did it just fly away towards freedom, or end up in someones Dinner platter?

And Cap'n Morgan was pretty badass imo.

we need to find more pics of Mareijke.

in the meantime a manhattan would be perfect

A Manhattan coming right up



I'll see what I can do about Mareijke (or her sisters )

Ok, so two leaks. gotta work on my balance, also on my shorthanded play.

Gotta mix it up a little. Be unpredictable.


*edit: I just got the first thing I ever ordered as an FPP reward. A set of PS playing cards. It feels so fucking awesome. The cards are awesome, they shuffle great not like the Bycicles I have, but it also serves as a milestone of some kind for me. Like it gives the site more credibility, or presence. I don't know, its hard to describe.


Now, lets order some books

Morning bartender (morning is GTM)

as long as you are appreciative of it i`ll drop some of my Yesterday`s-favourite-tunes-thateither-made me dance-made me cry-made me long for a drink-made me want to share.

service is available?
I`ll go for orangejuice freshly squeezed and a cup of plain coffeee.(spare me any of the italian/french sissystuff). please hit the juice with some dashes of grenadine syrup, just to give me that sunrise feeling.

I know something better. you get the actual tequila sunrise!

my hand, uh, slipped, so i *accidentally* added liquor to your orange juice






and keep the tunes coming!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK


LOLMISCLICKAMENTS deep in a 4,40

so a steal attempt ends up with like 22BB in the pot, leaving me like 7BB over. so yeah, I was pretty bigstacked too. I had to call the LP shove then. to add insult to injury, I then procedd to lose the hand and still have like 3BB left.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCC KKK

slippery hands are my muy gusto

The best books for poker, are not about poker at all

http://www.amazon.com/Unfettered-Min...ref=pd_sim_b_2

I've been strengthening my literary muscle recently

Mann... I sooo can't find time to read... amidst grinding and reading about poker! Do you find that these books actually help your game somehow?

Yup. They help in the allimportant mental aspect. Of course, don't expect to find anything about implied odds or whatever in these. Its purely philosophical, strategical in the broad sense.

But my description alone is insufficient. You have to pick one at random, and start to read, and then tell me how you interpreted it. I suggest picking Musashi or Sun Tzu first. Unfettered Mind would be a great first read also though.

FUCK WINDOWS AND ITS AUTO UPDATE PIECE OF SHIT

YOU RESTART WHENEVER YOU PLEASE DON'T YOU YOU PIECE OF SHIT OS

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS IMO

TNX man, I needed that.

Today was a bit fucked up pokerwise. So, right in the middle of a run, my computer randomly decides to restart to apply updates. i was like WTF. So, there I was, with 6 SNG's open close or on the bubble, and my computer fucking shuts down and takes 12 fucking minutes to be usable again.
When it opened, I was furious. I havent been mad like that in months. Then I go on like sick aggressive monkeytilt, and proceed to drop all the games I was playing with retarded shoves. And so I start a new run. My game is still subtly affected by my sickening tiltalicious, and proceed to drop all the games again. Damage done: -12BI.
Good thing yesterday was a +20BI day in which I ran like God, so I am still up. But I was still fucking pissed.


So then I proceed to the only way to get rid of tilt: bitches and booze. And it works, it works.



I'm fluent in six tabling now. I'm gonna up the ante a bit, and try to move to 8 soon.

hey jack..i'll take a aprihop beer...

i can relate to what you're saying about the computer shutdown...i was playin tonight and A.P. decided to stop responding...i had two freerolls and a 2$ table on.....took a couple mins to get back to the games i was playin...why does shit like that happen??

did you change the start up time?

Here you go




And no, I did not change the startup time. It seemed windows needed to install a few updates, and chose to do so at a random time. Of course,there comes a pop up window, but I have the screen covered full fo poker tables and I obv would not nee this.

Also, 6 seems to be my magic number. I suffer from concentration lapses playing 8.

oh man..have you tried that lambec??

its good..

maybe you could change it to stop doing it at random...i have mine set to 3:00pm...when i get home from work, i turn it on and then go put my stuff away.and come back to it later..
just a sugg,...g.l. with it.


oh..i think someone needs to put t.p. in the restroom...

don't tell me you left a mess in there?

as for the windows, check the pic above for recommended settings

also, long break even stretch currently. it seems that I cant win a pot getting it in good preflop while shorthanded. and heads up, i always run into the very top of villain's range, like KK vs KQ etc.

I have to be careful now and stop seeing patterns like this, its detrimental for my mindset

Bourbon please.



I found a few articles which kind of reinforced my bankroll believes.

Also, starting tomorrow, I'll be playing in a continuous fashion, not in sets like i do now. With that I'm dropping my last shred of results orientedness.

Aaaaah, 3rd by my own stupidty in a 4,40.

I fold AT to bigstack raise, just to 4bet shove 33 vs shorter stack next hand who happened to have 77.

Go out just two hands later to A7 < 9T, river T obv. GG

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK

Lets Celebrate!
