pokerstars for the win

cashouts are being processed for pokerstars accounts, you HAVE to cash out your full bankroll, you can not transfer the money to other players. this is good and bad for me. the good thing: 3/5 of my bankroll was on pokerstars, so that's good to have some money 100% safe. full tilt is lagging behind. however, 1/5 of my ftp bankroll is on my friend's account who i have not seen in about 8 months. i am going to have to withdraw via check or bank transfer under his name which will be kind of a hassle. plus, the address is his home (tracy address) which is another obstacle. He now lives in LA somewhere. so great news today. but i'm already concerned about withdrawing on my ftp. another small win: after "black friday" (which everyone is calling the day online poker died), i immediately cashed out almost all of my bodog bankroll, and i got the check yesterday and deposited it without any problems, so online poker is not completely dead in america

dude. there's no other way to say this but Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory on mtv is the funniest mtv show i've ever seen. the first 3 episodes of this season are just amazing. i feel like i say "funniest ever" every week or so. but i think i mean it this time. take 20 minutes to watch the last episode. dodgeball to the face twice! haahahhahah. and watching drama run during dodgeball training! i think if you've seen the show over the years, it makes that scene so much better. if you think i'm annoying and this is a waste of time, just watch the first 2 minutes of part1. thanks

betting the 'no'

Bet #1)

don't really know exactly how this topic got started, but i want to document some bets here to avoid any confusion. first bet is with Russ, the bet is. will the warriors win an nba championship in the next 20 years (starting with next year). I bet the no, russ bet the yes. $1k paid in 21 years. My take: the nba is full of superteams and the warriors just aren't going to put together a superteam. and if the warriors do end up making it to the finals, i'm def hedging my bet so the most i'm gonna lose would be $500. i swear i'm a warriors fan, but i'm such a big hater it's not even funny. however, i would love to lose this bet, just don't see it

bet #2)

after lots of negotiations, the bet is for the next 20 years. red sox and yankees championships combined starting next season. 5 is a push, i win with 4 and lower, scott wins with 6 and higher. after the bet was booked, the next 2 people we asked set the line at 6 and 7 ( i think). so maybe i have the worst of it here, but should be interesting. I'm 95% sure the bet is for $500 paid in 21 years. should be a good sweat. we talked about how the changing playoffs would affect this bet, and i think we decided that it was a wash.

i'm also trying to bet on the lakers in the next 20 years. i'm taking the under on 5.5 championships. any takers?

miami in the next 10 years, i'm taking over 1.5.

and thunder 2.5 in next 10 years, i'm taking the under.

last bet, will i have a job in 10 years? even money, i'll take either side (after writing this, it would be kinda sad if i got multiple ppl trying to bet the "no" on this prop bet lol, if you do wanna bet the "no", just tell me that you're trying to motivate me)

just saw the showtime giants show, laughed incredibly hard. hahahahahahahhahaah.

mind blaaaahhhsting

i've watched this clip 21 times. and each time i laugh the exact same way at the exact same time

gotta get down on friday

HORNETS IN 6 HORNETS IN 6 HORNETS IN 6. it would be a little funny, no?

i know that no one cares, but this news headline made me happy

"Full Tilt and PokerStars Regain .com Domain Names and Player Money is Safe"

every 3 days or so i think to myself how cool it would be if i was smarter. unfortunately, at the age of 22, i don't think it's going to happen. i mean, i guess i can read more and study a lot, but that just seems too boring and a waste of time. so i thought more about it, and if there is a 0% chance that i'm getting any smarter, there must be a non-zero percentage that i'm getting dumber. I can't afford to get any dumber. here's my pran (plan), i'm not going to RE-watch any reality tv shows. once i watch it, i will NEVER watch it again (for the most part). this is going to hurt a little, because re-runs of jersey shore are sometimes just as good as watching them the first time. but hey, this is serious

==

i'm cool if there is a lockout in the nfl, even the nba for that matter. the 49ers aren't going to be contenders this year, the warriors aren't going to be contenders any time soon. let's take a 5 year break from both. it'll only hurt the legit title contenders. that's cool with me, let's take a break and focus on baseball.

i think rebecca black-Friday is ridiculous like everyone else, but this lady is a dickhead for asking her "do you think you're a good singer?" ahahhahaha, 2:15

popping off

from cardplayer.com:

"Despite all the commotion within the online world, Full Tilt proTom “durrrr” Dwan is confident players will be able to receive their money eventually. He has said on Twitter that Full Tilt will find a way to make pay outs, and if they don’t “Phil [Galfond] and I are out $1 million each.”

On Saturday, Dwan wrote that the odds are “way lower than 10 percent of Full Tilt Poker not paying.” He also said, “Would strongly assume [PokerStars] is the same.” Galfond shared Dwan’s sentiment, Tweeting that “we are extremely likely to be paid our [money],” and “however I think we can’t expect to get paid right away. It’ll take a few months at least. Focus your worry/energy on planning around that.”

Dan “jungleman12” Cates, online poker’s biggest winner in 2010, told Card Player that he had no comment on the issue of cashing out. Cates won $7.5 million on Full Tilt through 2010 and into the early months of 2011. It is unknown how much of that money is still online."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

the bad part about the money i have online, is that about half of the money is on ftp, and on ftp i have two accounts, and one is not in my name, it's my high school friend's account. which would make things even harder if they ask for a picture ID or anything like that.

uh oh

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/poker/news/story?id=6362238

edit: ftp and stars are not allowing player-to-player trades, or any withdraw options at the time. all the money online is basically frozen. but they assure that the funds are safe, small ughh

kiefer is a great catch, no?

i love when kobe gets in trouble. cheating on your wife, raping a white girl, now gay slurs on national tv, i hope it keeps coming before he retires. i want a good one too, something juicy.

i swear i'm not making this up. but the day the lakers lost to the cavaliers earlier in the season, was the day I knew the lakers were going to win the championship this year. i was going to write a blog post then, but i got a little lazy, but here it is. the lakers home loss to the cavs seemed like "rock bottom" for the lakers, but it was a little too obvious. this was just to trick the poser laker-haters into thinking that the lakers weren't going to repeat as champions. some of those poser laker haters probably talked shit to the laker fan friends, but, the laker fan will get the last laugh. the laker fan probably replied "dude, just wait til the playoffs, KOBEEEEE" and sadly that laker fan is right, the lakers ARE going to win. this latest kobe news just confirms it, andrew bynum's injury? nope, not buying it. the spurs are incredible this year! and have clinched home court throughout the playoffs?! haha, don't fall for it. SIGHHHHHHHHHHHH, i just want to record the entire nba playoffs, and fast forward until finals game 4 5 and 6.

having said all of this, my sports predictions are incorrect over 50% of the time, so uh, i dont know. this post is all bull shit. KIEFER is the man

stupid Panini

^this is just stupid, a video in a basketball card? even blake knows it's stupid. way too many problems with this idea. i know i know, nerdddbomber (full house)

however, i do give them credit for thinking outside the box. the industry is dying, so they had to do something. can't just sick back and hope for things to turn around. just thinking about it now, it would be so fun to own a card shop. it would definitely be called Season Ticket

maC in tosh

-two weeks ago I drove back to Tracy for a doctor's appointment, and on that Friday night (btw Friday Night Lights' last season DVD is out, woo), someone broke my passenger window and stole my backpack. dumbass didn't take even take my GPS which was just sitting out in the open or the cash in my glove compartment (not a good idea to leave cash, i know) but instead decided to steal my backpack which had pretty much nothing in it besides my notebook. I know it could have been worse, but that notebook was almost priceless because it basically had all my notes that i've been keeping for the past 3 months. it's sad, but it just shows how my neighborhood has changed in the past 10 years or so. My damn honda is getting more and more expensive. I can't go 2 months without something happening with/to it. Jimmy never got towed, Jimmy never got broken in to.

Last week was my first fantasy basketball championship, unfortunately for me, I came in 2nd. I lost by 1 block. Ugh, I know hindsight is 20-20, but I really got out-managed. My opponent picked up Tim Duncan and he had 2 good games last week that made all the difference. Dirk sort of died on me during his last 2 games and Roy Hibbert couldn't give me a block on Sunday, that didn't help. His team was way better than mine, that's for sure, I'm just lucky that the championship was 1 week, and not 2. There's always next year, my plan is go draft all steals/blocks guys. Josh Smith is mine

i was a loser again and bought some mystery packs that some guy was selling on youtube. Unfortunately, i got one of the weaker packs, but we'll see how much they sell for. My excuse was that he was donating half of the proceeds to help the Japanese people. the over/under for the combined ending ebay prices is $54.50.

I was grocery shopping last week and I overheard this little kid (looked probably 9ish if I had to set the line) saying “but you owe me” to his mom. If I ever have kids, I’m 90% sure I’m going to be a no-bullshit strict/mean dad, because if my son said that to me I’m saying “BITCH, I DON’T OWE YOU SHIT”
