No more moaning

The thing I hate most about talking to other poker players, is how much they moan about about everything (mentioning no names kingand77). They're either telling you about their latest 10 buy-in downswing or some bad beat they took vs some fish, and its so very fucking boring. Iv always told myself not to do these things because I realise that nobody, and I mean nobody, cares. Anyway Iv noticed that recently Iv let myself stoop to they're level and I hope I havnt bored you too much. If anyone still reads this then Im am very sorry. So from now on I will try to keep my moaning at a minimal, although as this is my poker blog I think Im entitled to inform you lovely people of certain changes in fortune they may occur in my poker life.

Anyway poker has actually been going quite well. Im up 2.1k in 8days which is always nice. I feel really good about my game, and have been grinding like a normal degenerate poker player. Well maybe not that much, but more than I usually do. Iv also been working on my game and been experimenting with a couple of things that I think can take my game to the next level and they have definitely been quite profitable so far. They're not exactly new concepts to me but are plays Iv never really used much before (at least for the correct reasons).

Finally got my holdem manager working again. Now, Im not exactly a computer genius, but nor am I a complete retard. I emailed their support and after about 15 emails back and forth (over the course of 3days) in which I tried doing a million things to my computer that they had told me to, it was still fucked, so I had a teamviewing session in which some guy half way across the world took control of my computer and fixed it. It took him less than 3 minutes and what he did had nothing to do with what they had been telling me to do. I mean wtf, it was so fucking simple, if they'd told me to do that in the first place it been so much easier.

Iv been watching the final table from the wsop main event. It does absolutely no justice for the 'poker is a game of skill not luck' argument when some retarded redneck can come runner up in the biggest poker tourney of the year. Congrats to Joe Cada though. He ran like god on the FT but I dont think he played that bad, as some people on the forums seem to think. He's surely a better ambassador for poker than Darvin 'ill go back to work even if I win $8.5 million' Moon. At least he'll donate some of it back to the poker economy.

Iv never understood why people who win loadz money like on the lottery or w/e go back to they're day job. It tilts the crap outa me when people say things like 'money cant buy you happiness' or 'money isnt everything' or 'Id get bored after a while if I had that much money'. If you ever say any of these things you should go die. You are a moron and have no friends. You need to get a fucking imagination.

Dont get me wrong, I agree that money ALONE will not bring you happiness, it will however give you freedom to do whatever the fuck you like which in turn should bring happiness (unless your the type of person who doesnt drink, gamble, smoke, eat junk food or get laid). There's so many awesome places you can go visit, and there's always some major sporting event to go to. And if sports not your thing then there's music gigs/festivals. There's always some amazing band playing in an amazing part of the world.

It's for the above reasons why I want to be able to make a decent living out of poker. Because I want the freedom to be able to do all of these things. So when I ship 40k at PKR live next week, me and Vikki are just gona go and travel the world.
