Comedy

Been lazy on the blog obviously. I switched to heads up for quite a while there and did decent sustaining 7-8bb/100 across all levels. However, there is way too much dead time and overall it is a bit of a time sink. Bigger profit per table is ok but not when you can only get 1 game going at medium limits over a 2-3 hour time period.

I have also over the past few months been switching between 3-4 tables of high limits ($2000 - $5000) and 9-10 tables of medium limits (Nearly all $1000). I'm trying to get a database of 100,000 hands together to try and see my true win rate doing 9-10 tables of 6 max. I might post my results when I'm done. Currently done 15500 hands with Holdem Manager.

In other news, my friend (Bob Mitchell) and myself have been doing quite a lot of physical training. He used to be in a cycling club many years ago and he has suggested a very arduous task for us. Next summer we are going to try to complete the L'Étape du Tour which is basically a Tour De France stage open to amatuers cyclists. Last year the stage was 167KM long with long tough uphill sections. Hope we make it, I'll keep you updated on physical progress. I have never been very fit in my life, to accomplish this almost guarantees I will need to be super fit so lets hope we can keep up the training regime from now until summer.

Now for some funny stuff I found on youtube and elsewhere. Perhaps you have not seen one or two things here, if so then I supplied you with gold. Enjoy.



Hicks vs Heckler - Never seen this before. Gold.



Richard Pryor being interviewed high as a kite which I'm going to guess was filmed during the making of Stir Crazy.



Dave Chappelle - All three parts of the Charlie Murphy - "I'm Rick James Bitch" hilarity. For anyone who doesn't know who Rick James is, he was quite famous for a while in the 70's, mostly for his song Superfreak which was sampled(ripped off) by MC Hammer in his massive hit "U Can't Touch this".

Matt Damon for President

Vote Obama! I think we should take more political advice from Hollywood celebrities.

But seriously, vote Obama if you are American. I'd vote Ralph Nader!



You know Damon is right!

What can I dew!

The classic Human vs Undead imbalance commentary by myself.

Captured for Youtube by Sigurd (thanks, good job!).

The game was played around 5 years ago and the game has been patched MANY MANY times since then. This version of the game bares no resemblance to what people play now. So no point discussing build orders and why I haven't got such and such as it is not even close to being similar to what you see now in Frozen Throne.

The imbalance was fixed in a patch not long after this game took place and around when I retired from Warcraft 3.

I believe the TillerMaN soundboards were made entirely from this commentary although I'm not sure about that.

I have had people say to me or type to me "What can I dew" more times than I've been dealt pocket Aces in poker =) Enjoy.


Part 1.


Part 2


Elky ex Starcraft gamer turned up for the Asian Poker Tour today dressed like the Joker. Funny stuff. Good make up job Elky =)

Poker

Funny slow roll I found on youtube randomly featuring Raszi (Ex Starcraft gamer). I would be annoyed by this too as it looks like Raszi is short stacked pushing all in to pick up the blinds. Just ridiculous.

I also got back from the Scottish Championships which consists of a week of events but I only turned up for the two bigger ones. The £500 and £1000 events. I crashed out early in the £500 and got 17th in the £1000. Dean "Strops" Lyall a Scottish average standard ex gamer (Age of Empires) :) won both these events which is pretty impressive or lucky, depending on how you view these things I guess. I wasn't that disappointed with my results because I got to play a decent amount of cash in incredibly juicy games. The game was only £5/£5 blinds but I managed to take home £8000+(a lot of it coming from Dean himself who tried to mess with a champion ex gamer and realized he made a big mistake) in winnings in perhaps 6-7 hours of cash game play. I enjoyed my time in Edinburgh, getting to know some of the local regulars a bit more, it is a shame some stuff doesn't happen a bit more often in Scotland. Congrats Dean.

Some guy has managed to make the "What can I Dew" commentary into a video with original replay. It is too long to upload to youtube right now so I'm seeing about getting it split into two parts. Was funny watching the replay again. It really was harshly imbalanced back then. They did fix it not long after, shame I quit soon after.
