Republican Comments On CNN
k2o4, May 16
I've been browsing political shit today and I've noticed a funny trend. When republicans comment at the end of the articles to support McCain, the posts are filled with typos, bad grammar, bad spelling, and extreme levels of cocky "WE PWN U NOOBS" gloating. Lot's of name calling and very little focus on policy.
I'm strong to the finish, when I eats me spinach,
I'm Popeye the sailor man! toot toot!
Let's look at an example:
| | YEAH MCCAIN!!!
Have you ever wonder why the symbol of the Democrats is a DONKEY- Because you all is that. MCCAIN GOT THIS… I Have never seen so many dumb people. LOL
KEEP FIGHTING YOU ALL IS HELPING OUR PARTY. LOL
WE are not even worrying about a backfire. We already know Democrats are dumb and lazy. So I hope Obama win so we can keep the Whitehouse because you all are to DUMB to go vote….lol
MCCAIN 08
P.S.
we will rule for another 4years and keep you ALL in your PLACE…lol
SORRY DONKEYS  YOU WILL NOT GET THIS ELECTION |
That's straight from CNN.com as a comment to a story about how McCain has flip-flopped on his Hamas position (click here to read). I was going to bold all the typos but realized I'd basically just have to bold the entire thing.
Here's another one:
| | cnn u make me sick u put out obama like hes fighting like a man whith his speeches against bush and hilary you just love this odnt you you make him look as good as you want and take a crap on everyone els obama is a chuuummmp he is a political puppet controll by the dnc and they still cant get things right this liberal bias is sickening and whats worse is theres nothing of value to speak of on the demecratic side but thats ok the liberals have started ruining our country a long time and now they want a well spoken puppet BOY to run our country thank you you socialist hypocrites please let me leave before you finish burning our country to the ground lit by the flags youll start the fire with |
All sorts of cries about the liberal media and flag burning and destroying America and a bunch of crazy lunatic BS... this guy probably loves Bill Oral-ly and Fixed News.
So what are the rules here? If you're a violent testosterone war mongering nut-job who barely passed high school then you become a republican? Also if you're a cold hearted business asshole who doesn't give a shit about anyone else, you join the republican party? Are those the two groups that comprise it? I guess there's also the holier-than-thou lunatic evangelical Christians too. And if you're an overall kind and generous person but you're poorly educated, you support Hillary? It's fucking weird.
Ok, that's not really fair cause I have some Republican friends and they're not morons or assholes. Actually every Republican I know personally is a smart and good person. And I agree with a lot of core Republican values, like fiscal responsibility and states keeping their power and more, so despite my extreme generalization in the above paragraph I don't have anything against republicans... just the idiots who act like the comment ors above. Usually I notice the difference between Obama supporters and Hillary supporters, which generally is that the Hillary ones are a bit more ridiculous (she can still win!) and negative (Rev Wright!) and the Obama ones are usually a bit calmer, gracious and positive and hopeful for a better future. But today I saw some McCain ones and it was like "Whoa, these guys are wackos!"
The nice thing is that the Hillary supporters are slowly disappearing from the comment sections on all the news sites... where there used to be all sorts of cries of media bias and lists of reasons why Obama shouldn't be president (usually a list of stuff which had already been said a million times and proved wrong), now we're only seeing sad posts of acceptance with the occasional "you go girl, don't give up!" tossed in.
I'm excited for Tuesday. I'm gonna watch the results with wings n beer and celebrate when Obama finally gets the majority of pledged delegates. Time for the general election... which should be fun. I guess we can thank Hillary for already beating Obama's negatives to death so that when the Repubs try lots of people will be able to brush it off cause it's old news that is obvious BS.
As far as poker goes, the restart has gone pretty well. Was running like god so I jumped back up to NL100 for a bit and then ran like normal. Still up for the last 2 days though and planning to play a bit more today. I'm really focusing on shorter sessions and spending a good amount of time before I play working on getting my head straight so that I'm totally focused on playing perfect poker and avoiding tilt, spew and mistakes.
No plans for the weekend right now - might make it a bit of a video game / poker weekend if the GF will let me, hehe. Maybe if I take her to a salsa lesson on Sunday she'll be ok with me spending the rest of the weekend being a computer nerd. I guess it will be ok though cause she's getting lasik on Saturday so that means no going out tonight and probably not tomorrow either.
Ok, off to exercise. Need to get back into shapeeeee

Time to come back
k2o4, May 15
I've taken 4 days off from poker, spent 2 of those reformatting my comp which gave me time without internet (nice to have the vacation) and got some perspective. I've played nearly every day since April 1st and I've been on a mission to get up to NL200. It was going well till I hit a bit of a downswing last week and to deal with it I tried mass multi-tabling, which just made things worse. What I should have done was take the 4 day break right away and saved some money.
I copy/pasted the title of my blog into google image and this was the first pic to pop up.
I liked it so now it's here
The biggest problem is that I lost focus on playing perfect poker and instead focused on making money. I decided that I wanted to pull out 1.5k in May and then anything over that would be BR building for NL200. I hit 3k and figured everytime I hit 3.5k (or got close) that I would pull out money to drop me back to 3k. I figured a 30 BI BR was good enough. But the problem was with this new strategy I was so focused on making money that any money lost threw me into all sorts of tilt. It wasn't obvious monkey tilt, but my game got slightly worse and worse each time it happened until I was suddenly in monkey tilt without realizing it.
I play best when I don't pay any attention to how much I've won or lost and don't care about the money. Then I just have fun playing poker and aim to make make the right choice every time a decision comes up. I think that's the key to good poker but it's so easy to lose it, especially when you get confident and feel you don't have to pay as much attention since you pwn these fish.
I'm a bit nervous cause I left poker on a losing note and my gut has the association that playing poker is painful cause I just lose money. But I gotta kick that feeling to the side and remember the joy of the game and the fact that I normally win money so that's an extra feeling of pleasure I will get if I get back into the grind-train.
Life is such a fucking roller coaster, eh?
Wish me luck!

PT3 vs HEM
k2o4, May 14
So after reformatting I finally downloaded PT3 figuring I would give up HoldemManager and move onto the new and improved PT..... but after messing with it for a bit I'm not very impressed. I guess I should give it a bit more time before I write it off, but overall I've seen a lot more downsides than up. I'll list em:
Where PT is worse than HEM
1) The graph doesn't have an EV option.
2) There's no EV stats anywhere
3) Takes longer to load up stats (reports) than HEM does
4) The HUD isn't as well put together, plus HEM has better choices on the HUD.
Ok, some of my complaints went away while writing this cause I took the time to hunt around and found that they had a good list of stats and that the reason it was so slow last night is cause I was importing hands into HEM at the same time I tried to load reports in PT3.
Where PT is BETTER than HEM
1) The graph is prettier even though it doesn't have as many options.
2) It gives you a multi-table ratio for your sessions which is nice
3) The reports are all pretty good, especially in terms of giving you your winnings.
Overall they both seem to have a lot of bugs, especially in the HUDs. They both need a lot of work before I'd be overjoyed with either. But right now HEM is set up more cleanly for me. The thing that sux is that there's no way to use PokerEV or pokergrapher and so on with HEM. PT3 might not work with those either yet, but I'm sure that eventually it will since people always build tools to work off of the PT database.
Ok, that's my ramble for now. Originally I thought I'd put some serious thought into this but I got lazy.
