Anyone here at LAPT chile? Looking for friendly faces
Hotel here is amazing, kinda in the sea, so yu feel like your in a ship, just a beautiful view.
Don't usually post tourney scores but sunday mill is an exception. So yesterday i luck sacked my way to the ft with over 8k users, ended up losing in 8th though. Lost to a pretty sick monkey who had in a few previous hands won AQ v AK ai, 99 vs JJ on flop ai and he finally beat me on a ep raiser, he sb flat, i bb raise, ep fold he flat call, flop 225 i bet he ca, turn 3 i bet he shove i call and he has a4 and i had AA.
Pretty sick to lose like this caue the table had only bad/scared money players . Oh well maybe the good luck will go to the lapt.
Anyways enough of brag/slit wrists, if anyone here i am in room 520.
Ya so like few lp'ers here, i got into the whole guitar hero thingy. Played it a bit but nothing serious like I see Raszi & co doing. I recently found out it became a wcg game, had I known that I might have tried to become good to classify for brazil just for fun hehe but oh well, too late now.
Anyways, my recent purchase is the drums for rock band. If u guys enjoy that sort of stuff, the drums is really fun too. It actually requires much more physical effort than the guitar and works up a sweat incredibly fast as you move up the difficulty levels. Also, for a real musician point of view, the drums is more to something a real drummer might use, as I have seen people practice with similar things for rhythm and other kinds of trainings, so learning it might actually be useful while also getting a fun sorta workout.
One thing that is pissing me off though is the fact that guitar hero guitar apparently doesn't work with rock band ? Can someone confirm this? I find it pretty ridiculous that I'm going to have to have 2 guitars to play 2 different games. Might be ok for people who live in the states, but the friggin guitar here in bra is like 200+ dollars plus if I already am a nerd for having 1 guitar, 2 will be like, i guess double-nerd. No fun :/. I understand they are 2 different companies and such but nintendo should require them to be universal.
Besides that in poker I have gotten into a hu mode once again. Been doing pretty well. Mixing it between nl and omaha from 2/4 to 5/10. I am finally playing hu omaha on a consistent basis. I basically have no experience in omaha except for some random funnes back in the day. I just jumpred right into 2/4 hu to sorta of learn and am amazed at how bad (usually) the competition is. It really is incredibly soft compared to nl hu. And since in nl a weaker player can sorta hang in there for a long time if his cards are missing 100% of the time, in omaha there is non stop action which ends up working great for me, the less noobie of the match player hehe. Gonna keep having a go at it, I would however like to play vs decent players. So if any lp'ers are up to playing pm me cause I really wanna learn. I will stay at a max of 2/4 for now until I start getting the hang of it.
In my diet quest, i reached my 5th week yesterday (wednesday) and have now lost a total of 12.5 kg's. My fifth week sucked ass as my sister had her festival going on pretty much all week and all I did was stay backstage and eat/drink A LOT. I was extremely surprised when I weighed myself to see I had lost close to a kilo. Pretty sick. My plans right now is to hire a personal trainer for running, I'm gonna try for a short term goal of preparing myself for a semi-marathon type of event. Running by yourself sucks, and most of my friends here work/school (losers), so personal training seems like the best option as its ridiculously cheap here and quite good service.
Been a while since i posted so anyways, a while ago I had talked about starting a diet and well today makes one month since i started it and results are:
-11.5kg's or 25.35 lb's.
I went to a specialist who set up my diet plan and whatnot and just kept working out everyday. After 1st week i lost 5kg's and doc said I was losing weight too fast so I needed to add food. I decided then to let sundays as a free day where I can eat anything I want. I like this because it helps me keep honest on weekdays since I know I can pig out on sunday with no guilt trip. Also, i've read from some bodybuilding experts that doing this makes it so your body does not adjust to the diet as quickly, thus a longer period of constant weight loss.
I must say I love the feeling of having an empty stomache and I don't miss the days of eating until I burst. Even now on sundays if I order like a pizza for example, back in the day I would basically eat the whole thing in one sitting, now I am super full half way through it and can't stand anymore. I think more important than the diet is just really learning how to eat well and making sure once this doctor regulated diet is done that I will keep it sorta for life.
In poker, well its been going pretty good. I have mostly been playing 5/10 6max. Started trying out ftp in hu and a little 6max too. I had my biggest losing day last week where I tilted away around 12k but for the month I'm still up about 15k or so and doing surpsingly well in sports bets as well. I am however getting tired of the poker life, even though the money is good and all I don't find it satisfying and I'm sure plenty of people feel the same. I guess I need to find what I really wanna do and keep poker as a fun hobby. Originally I decided to take this year off after graduating univ. and just travel and play and hopefully figure out whats next in the process. But atm I am getting a bit sick of my lifestyle and still haven't figured out anything hehe. In some ways it hurts me to think about getting a regular job with a shit pay where you have to work on a regular schedule when I am used to such a easy/nice life. Grass is always greener on the other side I guess or maybe its just my instinct of being unsatisfied with whatever i'm doing.
This week looks very promising in funness as my sister is running this alternative music festival and a lotta good bands coming to play in it. I particularly am looking forward to seeing Peter Bjorn and John, here is a well known track of theres:
and also Shout out Louds, a track of theirs:
Shes gonna do a tour with them and other bands around a few places in Brazil, I'll probably tag along in my city and in Sao Paulo, just because SP kicks ass.
And thats about it.
. Oh well maybe the good luck will go to the lapt.
