Toe'd in the Hole
rubertoe:
I still haven"t managed to Crack the $200 mark - The BR has taken a bit of a hit and i haven"t been putting in the hours - I just haven"t been feeling myself for the last couple of weeks and what with my specs needing an upgrade i haven"t been able to look at a PC for too long - which is bit of a pain as far as work is concerned!
But now that the WCOAP schedule has been announced i now have 5 month to get to my Target figure - which is now slightly adjusted to just cover the Buy ins - So $450 - $500 should just about do it - but i am also now just thinking about playing the HORSE and the ME (I"d like to play the Omaha - but it is just a bit Awkward with the need to book that extra night in a hotel!) - so I have a new impetus to build the BR - which currently stands @ $176 plus a bit of change!!!
Now i just need to get through a couple of click fests and all will be good! Day 1a for me - probably - maybe if i play the Omaha.........
rubertoe:
I cant seem to do anything right at the moment - i decided to take a night off from the Cash games last night and play a few MTT"s - well that was the plan - I am going fairly well in the first one Managed to Chip up to about 6k without any real dramas - but then i get stacked - by a horrible play by the button when i am in the sb and flop top 2 (i had raised from the SB wit :as: js) and then lead out for the pot to be called by the Button, who then again Calls the turn (blank) when i bet the Pot - only to hit the gutshot draw on the river that he was hoping to fill!!!! Very next Hand i am all in for about 1200 after a limp (blinds 150 - 300 if i remember) with QQ and get Called by the Limper with AQ only for the turn to seal my fate with an Ace - So i am Tilting and off goes the PC!!!
At least the (dead) Money is in place for the WCOAP seats - £200 might not be a lot of money too some but it is too me for what i essentially see as entertainment (plus the other costs involved in playing Away from London), I"m just glad that Tanya is the one who holds the purse strings or I"d be POLO by now! and wouldnt be able to play (ever)!
I am getting excited about the WCOAP and Just hope that i can secure seats for all of the events! by Hook or by Crook as they say - I"ll be there!!
Just one other thing - I think i have been playing reasonably well in the League games, probably a bit tight - but generally OK, and if anyone has anything to add - or any notes about me then i would appreciate any comments about the way i play or where i can improve - we are all "amateurs" after All.
GL all ;D ;D

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington Chemistry Mid Term Exam.
The answer by one student was so "profound", that the professor shared it with his colleagues via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question:
Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle"s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time.
So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let"s look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle"s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at whichsouls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
made me chuckle - ;D ;D

genius!!

I"d Just like to say a big thank you to James "eck" Eccles - who after my whinge that started this blog offered to lend me the Book "winning Poker Tournaments One hand at a Time" WPT mag top five tourney strategy Books!
And it has arrived this morning - Once finished the book will be returned. with a little surprise for James to show my gratitude
The reason why i am mentioning this is it epitomises the APAT spirit and reminds me that why i am a member. some body i don"t know takes time (and Money - postage isn"t cheap) to help me out and you cant find these people just anywhere!
once again thanks "eck" and I"ll let you all know if/how the book helps my game!
Good Luck all - See you at the WCOAP - if i ever get that BR moving that is!!
;D
