hmmm

Party is messing up a lot...and that is really really bad for me, as I dont have anything to do at home besides work on party. I went 0/1/1/8 today mainly because my buttons kept disappearing. I decided to play a few sngs on stars, so I loaded up 18 $55s but got a headache probably because im not used to their software and playing 18 is hard. I bought a few videogames so I might spend the rest of the night playing some of those and sleeping. Im thinking I might try to get in some hands of limit tomorrow, as sngs on party are out of the question anf I dont really like the ones on stars.

whats next

Im sitting here in my hotel room 10 tabling cause 12 wont load...so im bored. I am planning on going to Bareclona in 6 weeks for some 5000 euro ept event. A guy here owes me $8700 so he is just going to give it to me in euros there. I managed to leave Vegas with $5000 more than I came with thanks to blackjack. If I didnt do well in that, im sure I wouldnt be too happy, as id be leaving with nothing. All in all, it was a fun trip but a discouraging one. I did get itm in 4 wsop events, but just cashing doesnt pay the bills. Im leaving tonight at midnight, but before I go I have to spend $2000 in comps. Hopefully I can find enough stuff to order. Hopefully party can gets its act together with its new software. The traffic on their site in the big sngs has dropped a lot in the last few weeks, maybe because of the wsop or maybe because their program doesnt work. When I get home, I guess im going to run as many $215s as I can and then $530s and $109s to fill up the rest of the screen. This 6 tabling just isnt working for me. I guess thats all thats on my mind. I'll post again when something happens.

out of main event very fast

Well...I went into today knowing that i would do well if I didnt make a lot of 2nd best hands...well, all I did was make 2nd best hands. About 20 minutes into it, I had AT on a AT3 board...obviously some stupid girl has 33...1/2 my stack gone. About 80 minutes into it, I get 77 on a T72 board...guy has TT. Basically, I got screwed, like normal. I will for sure not be playing in all the small events next year. I will play the main event if I can get in for free, but this trip has basically let me know for sure that I am not a winner in big mtts...or at least that I dont like the variance of the game. Im going to be flying out tonight at midnight. Im glad to be going home so I can sit down and work for a year or so.

ready for the main event

I got all the bad luck out of my system today. I lost $10,000 in blackjack pretty fast and then lost $2000 in 10 sngs. Thats ok though, as I was stupid unlucky. I also played mario 64 for more of the day on the hotel videogame thing. It took me about 4 hours to beat it. Its amazing how you can remember things you did 10 years ago like it was yesterday. I guess im ready for tomorrow. I watched a few videos by "good" online people last night and a little today. I also played a few fairly deepstacked mtts last night online. I dont really know what else I can do. Im jprobably going to try to run over the table but not go broke with anything stupid. Hopefully I get a nice table full of online fish that are willing to gambool with nothing...but I am pretty convinced that I know how to play the early game against anyone, so I will take whatever comes my way. I'll post again tomorrow.

still not much happening

Ive basically been chilling around the hotel...I lost $10000 in bj the other day, so I decided I was going to keep the play small...until one of my friends paid me $10,000 he owed me in bellagio chips. The rio wouldnt give me cash for them but instead, they would only give me 2 $5000 chips, which I had to gambool with for a bit. I decided to gambool with 5k of it. I managed to win $10,000 so now I can play a little more, as I told myself I would quit with 50k profit from bj...and now i have 60, so 10k worth of gamboool. Anyways, I plan on spending tomorrow playing a little online and maybe gambooling a little. Im basically just going to try to get my sleep back in line so I can wake up at 11:00 on Sunday to play the main event. I guess im going to watch a little tv then head to sleep.

not much has happened to me lately...

but lots of things have been happening to all the people around me. The shipit mansion got robbed, costing them a lot of money and time, as they all have to get new computers and all that stuff. Right after that, the usher took 2nd in the $5000 plhe event, bringing in a nice $284,000 back to the mansion. My friend BBOUJA also took 9th in that event after taking a nasty set over set beat vs the usher very early at the final table, which sucks. Fearing that our house was next to be robbed, I decided to call up my host at the rio and he hooked me up with a room for the rest of the world series. I think I was the only one at the house with $50,000 just laying around, so im pretty sure it was a smart play to get the hotel just to protect my money. I dont remember where I was at on blackjack last time I posted, but at the moment, I am up $62,000. Im probably down from last time I posted. :-(

I guess ill talk a little about blackjack...It is a very odd game when playing with other people, as most people think you are taking their card when you make an obvious (to smart people) play and not taking the bust card when you dont hit, which usually isnt the problem for good people. For instance, most people flip out when they see me hit a 12 against the dealers 2 or 3...If you dont make this play, you probably cant be a winning player when the deck is neutral. I love hearing the dealers say "never hit a 2 versus a bust card." I want to say, "yes, thats why you are a dealer and im betting $1000/hand" but I dont cause im a nice person. Also, ive notived when I degen it, which I define as making huge bets for little to no reason, I do bad...as does everyone else who degens it. Degening is also kinda related to using the martingale system, as you usually bet stupid amounts after you lose for no reason. So...no more degening it for me! Im going to sit there, make $400 or so bets and when the deck gets juicy, bet whatever im supposed to. I also found another 2 deck game that isnt in the high limit area, with limits from 100-3000, which should being me a little less attention. I think I pull the "get up and piss" thick a little too much, which is where you get up and dont play the rest of the deck when the deck gets really bad, so just being a random drunk guy in the poor section of the casino might be better. Enough about bj...its boring...

I am supposed to go check into mgm grand today for my partypoker hotel, but I guess im just going to try to cancel that. I also need to try to collect $20,000 that people owe me. Im just going to stop lending out money, as it is usually just a hassle not worth the effort.

I havent played many sngs in the last few days, as party has been updating/screwing up their program. I did manage to get in 65 games or so in the last 4 days though for $2000 profit or so. I guess thats it...I play the main event on day 3, which is 5 days from now, so I guess ill just post again when something happens.

screwed again

Everything was going great in the $5000 plhe wsop event today. I had about 27,000 chips at the end of the 4rd level when average was 7000 or so. I was pwning the fish nicely until this hand screwed me. There was this rock that just went from 6000 to 19000 chips cause he had AA twice in a row and basically doubled uo both times. There was some confusion because there was a guy that had blinded off, as he never returned from the 2nd break, who had 50 dead chips in the big blind, where the normal blind was 100/200. A guy "raised" from 1st, trying to bet the pot, but the "pot" in this situation assumes the bb is actually 200, not 50...so he makes it 350 but is forced to make it 400, the rock calls, I pot it with AA. Everyone but the rock folds. The flop is A33. Looks great, right? The rock checks, I pot it, he calls. The turn is a 9. The rock checks, I pot it again, he minraises me....great. The river is a 4. The rock pots it, I push and he calls with 33. So...I get screwed down to 8000 or so. I managed to hold on until the 8th level by restealing from this same idiot to my right. Eventually he raises from 1st, I pot it with KK, which is about 1/2 of my stack, and he pushes with AQ. Obviously he hits an A so I lose. I really hate how I can play good all day just to get in against a 3 outer and lose. So...Im not going to play any more events besides the limit shootout in 2 days and the main event. Im tired of playing good all day just to lose. Im probably just going to grind sngs hard for the next few days. Ill post again when something happens.

not so hot day

I lost $10,000 in blackjack...so im probably going to be done with that for the trip. I'll book my $66,000 win and be content. I got pwned nicely in the $2000 mtt today. Nothing went right at all. Buuut, that happens about 1 in 4 tourneys or so, which is why I dont really like these shortstacked mtts. Tomorrow is $5000 plhe, which I will probably skip. The next day is $1000 rebuy, which I might play. The next day is a $1500 limit shootout, which I will be playing. The main event is comming up, so I figure ill take a ittle bit of time off from the live mtts so I can be well rested for the main event. Soo....tomorrow and the next day, I will probably grind out 300 or so $215s. I guess ill post again when something happens.

screwed hard in $5000

Well, I had to wake up a little early to take Dave to the airport. Me and Mats went to eat breakfast then I decided to lose $5000 at blackjack and quit for a while. Everything was going great for me in the $5000 6 handed wsop event. I stacked 3 people in the first 2 hours then ran my stack up to 50,000 chips by the end of the 4th hour. I got moved to a crappy table with Eric Lindgren to my right...actually, besides him, my table was super soft. The only problem was that every time I raised, Eric would call me...and he would also call every flop bet. I pwned him pretty good for a while, taking about 1/2 his chips, as I was hitting hands and he was bluffing a lot....
Then...disaster. I had about 60,000 chips on the last hand before the dinner break. I had 99 in 1st, so I made it 1100, 200/400 blinds. Eric called, like normal, as long as some other guy that sucked and the bb. The flop was A92...yay! Im going to stack someone. The bb checked, I bet 2500, Eric called, like normal, and the other 2 folded. The turn was an 8. I bet 4500, leaving Eric with about 6000 left if he called, which he did. The turn was another 8. I pushed, he called, and he showed his AA to scoop a nice pot thar I was expecting to be mine. Thhaaatttsssss ok. I can deal with that. I still had about 40,000 chips which was 2x average. Time for the dinner break.
I came back after the break only to get 2 straight flush draws, both of which I missed, leaving me with about 25,000 chips. I then got AA all in against KK and a K came so I lost. All in all, I think I played damn good but just got screwed over. Also, in the first hour where I stacked 3 people, I had 99 on a 954 board against 54, AA on a 9532 board against TT, and AQ on a KJT5 board against KJ. I dont think I could have done much more in the getting my money in good department.
After I busted, I was super pissed, as I went from 2x average to out within an hour. I told myself I was never playing a live mtt again, except for the main event. I decided after a long walk to the blackjack table that that was just stupid talk, as I pwn fish goot in mtts. Being an idiot, I decided to degen gamboool at blackjack some more. I made a nice $25,000 profit in that sitting, putting me up $20,000 for the day in bj....that also helps to get me unpissed. I will probably be willing to give back $15,000 or so in an attempt to win more at bj. Im also trying to get enough comp points to get their 7 star card, which lets you get free hotel rooms whenever you want. Im about 1/4 the way there, so I probably wont reach it on this trip, but I can degen gambool on my next trip also.
So...tomorrow is $2000 nl, which im already signed up for even though I dont really want to play. Im mainly playing so I can go gambool some more. I also plan on getting a hiarcut tomorrow, unless I do well in the tourney. Im probably going to play super LAG/sweedish and try to get a bunch of chips quick. Ok...off to sleep.

more stuff

+$6000 more from bj...yay. $56,000 so far. Tomorrow is the $5000 6 handed nl wsop event. Me, Mats, AussieJ and I think Shannon are the only ones that are playing. Hopefully one of us will do well, as we have been getting pwned nicely in poker. I'll post again after I make day 2.

a tiny bit more gambooling

Blackjack was sick today. First off, I lost the $1500 mtt today when some idiots KQ pwned my QQ. After that, I gambooled on some bj and made a nice $40,000...I played for a while longer and quit being up $20,000. I decided to go eat some food (steak and lobster) and then go play a little more. That session went like crap. I ended up losing $15000 more, putting me up $5000 for the night. I didnt play my normal grinding game though...I kinda degen gambooled, which isnt how to pwn blackjack. I think I might put that $5000 back into play tomorrow or the next day, but I wont play for any more than that. I had my nice sick run, which I can by content with. Ok...im tired of typing. I guess im going to go to sleep.

more degen gamboooling

Yesterday was crazy. I played a few sngs for $50 profit then we decided to go shopping. I didnt buy anything, but after shannon finished buying stuff, we played a little blackjack, where I made $1500, then we went to eat at some pf changs place, which was pretty good. After that we played some 2/4 2-7 triple draw, crazy pineapple and plo where shannon made $1000 off all his friends, as we were the only ones in the game, and I broke even. After that, I decided to go play some blackjack at the rio and everyone else decided to go sign up for todays event. I ended up playing until 7 am where I quit up $25,000...I love blackjack. We should be heading to the rio soon. Il post again tomorrow.

sick night of degen gamboooling

I ended up taking 2nd at my first table in the $2000 shootout when my AQ lost to AJ, making it like a typical sng. After that, I came home and helped Mats Iremark with some $530s...I basically won him $8000. I then helped Aussie J play some and wom him $2000...Then i played about 50 $215s for myself and made a whopping $100. Again, typical.

Nutzrealbig had gambooled enough to get a pimp suite at rio, so we decided to go there and hand out a little. I got the bright idea to go gambool some on blackjack, so my, nutz and aussie went there. The session started off nice start but I ended up dropping $2000, again typical...the other 2 guys decided to go play some other game, but being the degen I am, I decided to put up $2500 and try one more time. This is when the typical bad beats stopped...I ended up turning my $2500 into $25,000 before I quit, putting me up $18,500 for the night in blackjack. I kinda wish I was betting crazy because I would have been up much much more. Oh well. $18,500 was enough to put me back to even on the trip, so im content.

Tomorrow is some random $1500 nl wsop even, so ill probably take 25th or so in that. Im probably going to sit here for the next 6 hours and grind sngs. I guess ill post again when something nice happens.

I run bad

Well...nothing went right for me in the mtt today. I never got a single hand but ended up staying at about 35,000 chips until we got down to 50 people, which was average at that point. I eventually got all in with TT vs AA and lost. TT was the first decent hand I had all day, so I guess I cant bitch. Anyways, im going to play the $2000 nlhe shootout tomorrow, so I better get to sleep.

Saturday, July 15, 2006

Another day 2...yay!

Well...I made another day 2, this time in a $2000 nl mtt. I ended the day with 33,400 chips, with average being 31000. There were a few key hands that were important that I guess ill type out.

About 40 minutes into the tourney, with 25/25 blinds, the guy in 1st position makes it 225...from my experience, this means he has jj or tt. Anyways, I find KK and make it 900, knowing he is going to call me. He does and the flop comes Axx. He checks, I push for my last 1100 and he folds his TT face up, like it was a huge fold. Looking back on this hand, I might should have checked, hoping to induce a bluff on the turn but thats a little risky.

A while later, I had 4000 chips in the bb in 150/300. I was in the bb with A9. The button, who has been stealing my blinds often, raised to 900, so I pushed. He thought for about 3 seconds then called with A8...I didnt lose, so I had 8000 chips....

Next hand...I had about 7000 in the bb with KJ. This total idiot raises to 1800 in 300/600/50. Actually, I didnt know he was an idiot til this hand. I dont know why he decided to come out of his shell at this time. Anyways, He raised to 1800 and I push. he instacalls the other 5000 with 65s. It was kinda funny cause as soon as he called I said "I was kidding" and turned my cards face up. He said "I dont think so" and turns up his 6 high. I manage to somehow win this hand too.

From that point, I just pillage the blinds a little and make a few resteals with pretty good cards. Nothing really went that bad, except for early in the tourney when I lost 2 coin flips in a row. I was up to 12000 but lost a flip for 6000 then another one for 3000, putting me down to 3000. I played good though and grinded back up.

I dont know if im going to play many more events. I only have $12000 left here, which is just enough to play most of the cheaper events. If I happen to final table this event tomorrow I will obviously play the bigger ones though.

As for sngs, there are a bunch of total idiots that play the $215s and 530s. Usually these are fairly competent players in other forms of poker but dont understand how sngs work. The typical notes I have on people read something like this..."calling station fish idiot on bubble, 300 in level 3 from co is foldable. Normal raise from sb is unfoldable Q9 hu." Obviously I use lots of short hand, but I find that these fairly descriptive notes are helpful when I have close decisions.

Ok...im going to sleep. Ill post again tomorrow after I make a final table.

super heater in sngs

Well, bad news first...I was playing super good in the $2500 6 handed wsop event today when I got pwned in the face by 2 3 outers. Yay...I came home, played some sngs and was down a little over the first 75 or so, then went on a super heater, going 6/1/2/0 in the last 9 games....I dont think ive ever went 9 in a row itm, especially with 6 1sts. Ok...today was the day im supposed to give my weekly results or whatever but I figured id let everyone know that I am going to exclude the results from 7/12 due to the screwover party dealt to me, as I dont have exact numbers for that day, even though I was up $2000ish for that day. Anyways, I went 58/47/54/318 between 6/25 and 7/13for a nice $5245 profit. Since I began playing the $215s a while ago, I am 316/311/327/1450 for 2404 games played, $47955 profit, play $11000 in rb and a $10000 wsop seat, 9.3% roi, and 39.7% itm. All in all, im still very content with my sng play.

Also for the guy who asked, I 12 table on my 17" widescreen laptop. I just open games as fast as they can load. In the $215s, it seems like I can usually get in 12 during peak hours but only 10 or so during the slower hours. I dont really have any problems with timing out or any of that. I try to play with music on and minimal distractions. For instance, when im at home, I dont watch tv or anything. Since im in vegas, I have positioned my computer so that I dont really have to look up and see anything if I dont feel like it. Paying attention is important. I also have notes on basically everyone who plays $215s, which I consult most every hand where I dont have the notes memorized....I think that answers all the questions.

Tomorrow is another $2000 nlhe wsop event, which I will probably play. Im thinking im going to stay away from most of the mtts here, as im not really doing too hot, unless I find someone to back me. I also only have $15,000 left in cash here, which isnt all that much. I guess ill post again after I make day 2 of the $2000.

just updating

Not much has happened in the last 2 days. I made about $4000 from sngs but party crashed today while I was in 12 games, so now im only up $1500ish. Ive called party, trying to get refunded, but they are pretty stupid about getting me my money back. Hopefully ill wake up tomorrow and have the $2500 I got screwed out of back in my account. Anyways, tomorrow is the $2500 6 handed nl event. Hopefully ill do well in that. ohhh well. Im tired, so I guess im going to sleep.

barely itm in $1000 mtt

Blah. I think I played damn good today only to get 2 outered once I got itm. Basically, all day, I would work my way up to about 1.5x average, lost to a 3 outer against someone who had .75 average, work up to 1.5x again, rinse and repeat. Ive played 3000 hands of 5/10 limit yesterday, running at 3bb/100, which is nice. We also went to see O last night, which was a little creepy but pretty cool. Tomorrow is a $2000 pl he event, but I really dont feel like playing it. I just want to sleep, play limit, and sleep some more. Ok...im going to sleep.

ufc/fun night

Today was a nice, relaxing day. I didnt play the $1000 rebuy today because I was going to go to see ufc tonight. The fights were, for the most part, pretty good. It seemed like they didnt last all that long though, whereas on tv, it seems like the fights last a long time. After that, me, Donny, and Aussie J decided to gambooool a little. I decided I was going to get in for $500 and if I lost it, id be done. Im pretty good at sticking to those retarded loss limit things. Anyways, I ended being up $1500 which was nice. I then got the nice idea to get a limo home. We decided to flip coins for the deal and Donny had to pick up the tab. We also decided we wanted to go to taco bell, as Aussie J wanted to try it, as they dont have it in aussieland. We decided to lfip for that too and obviously Donny loses that too. Really though, these are cheap flips. He lost a total of like $200 from flips whereas I lost a $1000 one the other day when we ate at a nice steak place. Anyways, im just sitting here now eating taco bell and watching tv. All in all, it was a nice day.
I also played a little 5/10 limit today. Donny, Nate, and Dave all seem to make a ton of money from big limit, so I figure I migth as well try to learn it from them while I am here. Im at a nice 4bb/100 over a huge 750 hands, which, while irrelevant, is better than being down. I'll probably try to put some time in tomorrow in that game before going to see O at night. Tomorrow is the $10000 plo event, which we are all skipping. Anyways, im going to watch a little tv then go to sleep.

rough day plus some thoughts

Well...nothing went right today. Everything was going fine in the $2500 nl mtt today, getting about 7000 chips before the blinds got to 100/200 where I proceded to lose to 2 3 outers and a coin flip. Thats ok...I can handle that. I dont really think there is much more I can do besides build a nice stack and hope to beat 3 outers. Maybe there is...ill hopefully figure out that that is soon. As for sngs, I got pwned today. Basically, I ran super bad. People just love to call my pushes on the bubble and lucksack me. Simple as that. I went 7/10/10/72 for a nice $4285 loss. All in all, im still happy with my play...just not the results. Hopefully I can make something happen soon.

Ok...now for some thoughts....Why do good things always seem to happen to some people but not to others? This thought got stuck in my mind after I saw Dave Williams win a 7 stud wsop event. Before the wsop, he was playing $100 mtts on party...he lucksacks his way into 5 mil and now has the money to play every event, get a huge promotion deal, and then wins a wsop bracelet...Its not just him though. There are tons of people out here at the wsop that lucksack their way through a mtt then have everything else baiscally handed to them. So...why do these things happen to some people but not others? Obviously most of these people put themselves in the position to get lucky, but i know many people who have done just that and still havent "gotten lucky." I wish I knew what these people did differently than what im trying to do. Maybe it really is just random luck. I find is discouraging, but maybe all I can do is keep putting myself in situations to succeed and hope for the best.

just updating

Not much happened yesterday. I was doing well in the $1500 limit mtt, then I got TT against JJ on a JTx board, which basically screwed me down to 8bbs or so then I had AK lose to AT. I can deal with that though, as long as I didnt play bad. I really feel like ive played damn good all series so far. I played about 20 $215s last night for a $400 loss, which isnt all that bad either, as I ran like crap. Basically, ive been losing, but im fine with the results. I am not happy that we went to gambool a little last night and I lost $700. Thats probably enough gambooling for me for this trip. Im glad I got off cheap. Today is the $2500 nl, so hopefully that will go well. Im going to practice some more super lag play, is it is fun and seems to work as long as they dont pick up huge hands. Ill post again whenever I get a chance.

doing well in $215s

Ive been pwning the $215s since ive been in Vegas. So far, im 32/29/28/149 for a nice $9430 profit in 238 games, which is nice. I hadnt been playing too much until today, which was the first day I didnt play a wsop event. Today was a 7stud mtt, which I have no clue at all how to play. Tomorrow is $1500 limit, so I will probably get to sleep soon so I can be well rested for that........Im just sitting here watching the ppt zoning off. I havent really been eating well since ive been here. In fact, all ive eaten has been chinese food and pizza, which has to be very -ev. Im going to have to make sure we buy some good stuff next time we go to the store. Ok...im going to sleep.

i played good today

I decided to play the $5000 nlhe mtt today...and I also decided to play it pretty damn lagish. I really dont like to read about other peoples hands, but I had two that were very different to the way I normally play...anyways, heres the hands...

About 30 minutes into the tourney I had 87s on the button. A guy from middle position raised to 200, I called with 87s and we saw a flop of T86. He bet like 350 and I called. The turn was a 2. He bet 500 and I decided to be a little crazy and make it 1500. He instacalled...not good for me. At this point, I had about 3500 left and he had about 2500. The river was a 3. He checked and I decided to have big balls and bet 1500 again, trying to look like I want to get called. He sat there for about 3 minutes and then folded JJ face up. Good...lag play is working.

I ended up getting about 15000 chips, then marcel lucke got moved to my table. He wasnt there long before I raised to 600 (100/200 blinds) with K9c from middle position. Lucke called on the button and the bb also called. The flop was T76 with 2 clubs. The bb checked, I bet like 1200, Lucke called and the bb folded. The turn was an A...at this point, I didnt think I could bet and get him to fold a T, or anything else semidecent for that matter. However, I did think that if I checkraised him he would have to fold everything besides some random AK or 2 pair or the straight. Anyways, I checked and he bet 1800ish. I checkraised to 7000ish and he instapushed...bad for me! Anyways, I call and he has the AT...I still have a zillion outs but miss, like usual. That put me down to 2000ish chips. I doubled up and then stole a little but then lost 1/2 of my 7000 stack when I got JJ against a short stacks KK. Then I proceded to lose to another 3 outer to lose the rest. All in all, I think I played damn well. I guess I dont really have much else to say.

Tomorrow is the 7 stud mtt, which im going to skip. The next day is $1500 limit then $2500 nlhe the next day. I guess we are just going to chill around the house. Everyone else here will probably get drunk but I will probably be a life nit and sit here and play sngs all night.

random thoughts

Well, I went otm in the $2000 nl yesterday and the $3000 limit today. I really really feel like I played well in both events. In the nl one, nothing went my way at all. In limit today, I had 2 sets of Ks both lose and got 6 outered on the river 2 times. There were other random beats that wernt as bad, but I dont feel like typing it all out. Anyways, I was talking to gigabet a little today and it got me to thinking about how I dont tilt at all anymore. I used to go nuts if I got 3 outered...now I dont care if I get screwed 100 times in a row, which is a really good thing. I watched Chris Biggler, some semigood pro, go on sick donkey tilt and donk off a 15k stack today. I, on the other hand, lost like 5 big hands in a row and played my short stack well and eventually got all in getting 2:1 on a coin flip, which is a good thing in limit. All in all, im very content with the way ive played so far even though im about even. Im still debating whether or not im going to play the $2000 limit omaha hilo tomorrow, as I dont think im anywhere near as good as some of the best players in the world at the game. I probably will read up a few books on it tonight and play it tomorrow anyways cause I dont really feel like sitting around the house all day. Also, the wireless connectino here sucks. It cuts out every once in a while, making it hard to play sngs. Despite that, I have played about 40 215 sngs for a nice $3000 profit. I'll give a big update on sngs when I get back home. Anyways, im going to go read and go to sleep.
