don't trust the police

Awesome how I drop Kris Humphries a day before the Nets trade away Troy Murphy and Derrick Favors. As soon as I heard about the Derrick Favors trade, I tried to claim him off waivers, with no such luck. So basically, going back to the bad relationship analogy, I dumped his ass, tried to get him back, but he wasn’t feeling it. Now I’m stuck with ant Rand’s underachieving ass.

One day I decided to run to Subway to eat dinner since its FebruANY! But anyway, I put on my running clothes and only brought my ipod, keys, and my subway gift card. It’s only like ¾ of a mile or so. But anyway, I get the usual, and hand the gift card to the employee. I thought she was going to tell me the balance of my gift card, but instead, she tells me that I owe $4 something since my gift card only had a dollar left. I whispered fuck, and told her that it’s all I had since I ran here, she let out a big sigh and said that she had to take back the footlong. So I told her if I leave my ipod here, can I eat the sandwich now, and run back to the house and get my credit card. She said yes, so I handed her my ipod and she handed me the goods. I then asked her “can I just listen to my ipod while I eat, and then give the ipod back before I start to run back home?” She said lolno you can’t do that. I said fine fuck you. Kinda random

I love that feeling when you buy a lottery ticket and just start to think what if. Well, PokerStars is having a huge tournament on sunday. $215 is the buy in, and the tournament has a guaranteed prize pool of $5 million, with a guarantee of $1 million going to first place. First place also gets a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560. It’s just fun to think about. If I’m available on Sunday and in a good mood, I think I’m going to play. Damn, what if I bink that damn thing, I’d be a Mirrrrionaireee!

I love the Superbad cop dance. When i'm by myself, and holding 2 drinks (of anything really), i do this dance from time to time.

-In our first home game on pokerstars, it was 5 handed, play-money cash game. It was pretty fun. This was the hand of the session. Psalms911 wanted a club on the river, but not the 9 of clubs, as russuch hit a straight flush to beat Psalms911’s ace-high flush. Next Sunday, February 20th at 6PM, we will have another PokerStars.com Home game. We will be playing a real-money cash game. I think we are going to play $0.02-$0.05 blinds, with a max buy-in of $5. If you do not have any pokerstars money, let me know and I can transfer you the moniezz and you can pay me back later (or on paypal). I think there are still people who read my blog AND know how to play poker, but have YET to join the home game. If you’re one of those, join and I’ll give you an extra $5 in pokerstars money to play with (excluding kyle and nick). Download pokerstars, find home games, my group # is 186961, password: password. And, I was kidding about my password being password for everything. or was i

---Long story short. Two sick young successful online poker players. One named Ashton and one named Haseeb. Ashton was a little drunk and on very little sleep, but decided to make a prop bet that he can run 70 miles in a 24 hour span, he OFFERED his $900,000 to his opponent’s $300,000 that he can do it. These 2 links are Haseeb’s 2 blog posts. It’s pretty long, but if you have the time, it’s very very interesting. I would seriously like to make a prop bet like this. I would consider running, or I would bet against you doing it. My number is 14 miles, very negotiable.

---Jersey Shore didn’t disappoint last week. Ronnie and Sam went absolutely crazy on each other. I think Sammie is a crazy out of control B, but Ronnie was borderline psycho when he started breaking her stuff. It’s interesting how last season was all about going out in Miami and seeing what girls M.V.P. brought back to the house. But this season, the focus isn’t really on that at all. I doubt Ronnie leaves the house like they tried to preview.

--- Kris Humphries last 4 games

14 and 15 (i like it)

15 and 14, 1 block (sweet)

8 and 11, 1 block 1 steal (i'll take it)

4 and 7, 1 block 1 steal (nice steal and block, but he's pushing it)

run and tell that

-So i've misclicked while playing poker. And i don't know for sure, but i assume that it was during a HU SNG while playing online. But last week, I had the biggest misclick (fat-finger) I will ever have in my life (hopefully). I was sitting at Ryan's desk trading options on his account with his help, when I accidentally clicked. I just so happened to click the "buy" button and purchased 100,000 shares of citigroup stock.

Ugh 100,000. i felt sick to my stomach, i immediately stood up let out a FML. He told me to calm down and that it happens to everyone. I think my heart stopped, I was in shock. So basically, I went long the stock at $4.76. And then, I was just hoping the stock would increase a cent (each one cent change would be a $1,000 gain or loss). He was offering (or trying to sell at $4.77) to lock a one cent profit. But, it didn't sell to in probably 3 minutes. Then, he offered it at $4.76 (to try and "scratch", which is basically a push, but we would lose all the commission fees). But then the stock had some big prints (about to increase/rise). So he offered (tried to sell at $4.765) which is mid-market. And we finally sold all 100,000 shares of stock there. So, we made a half cent on each share of stock, but if you account for the commission fees, we profited only a little. It was definitely a top 5 "oh fcuk" moment in my life. Hmm, I wonder what my top5 would actually be. But anyway, the stock ended up increasing by 10 cents that day (5 cents above what I "bought" it at, so I could have made some real moniezz)

--It would be really nice to be able to put this on my resume.

Responsibilities:

Club Manager of PokerStars.com Home Game “Mizuno’s Room”

ESPN Fantasy Basketball League “Bad Habitz” Commissioner

That shit ain’t easy.

--So, my pokerstars home game has been booming. Our first official home game will be play-money NL cash game, scheduled for Sunday at 6PM. Come play, invite your friends. group number is 186961, use password: password (my password for pretty much everything) Even if you don't want to play, humor me and join the club. (jamie)

-- "you will never be as young as you are right now" CHEESY! but powerful, ok cheesy

-- as usual, i'm late to the game. my twitter is: gmizzz (some asian weirdo with 1 asian tweet had gmiz locked up) Also, the trading firm i'm training with has set up a blog which I am writing for almost once a day. It is seaofopportunity.blogspot.com. Right now, i'm writing the "trade of the days". So, if that sort of stuff fascinates you, please read, but if you wanna fade like my Christina Aguilera national anthem over bet, no problem.

realgmiz.blog is for immature grant, seaofopp.blog is for wannabe mature grant. oh, and jersey shore is bACK, predicting it right now, top 6 episode coming up tomorrow.

Christmas, Lloyd Christmas

It’s Super Bowl prop time. And people might not know, and I don’t mean to brag, but I’m sort of an expert in the field. These are all 100% real bets that you can find through online sportsbooks.

-How long will it take Christina Aguilera to sing the National Anthem? Over/under: 1 minute 56 seconds

Take the over, I’ve studied the tape (youtube vids over her last two national anthem) and I see her around the 2 min+ range. So, with a 4 second cushion, I feel comfortable with the over.

-Will Fergie be dressed as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader at any point during the Halftime show?

Yes = 17% ($100 wins $500)

This is a trap, you’re thinking “all I have to do is bet 100, to win 500?” It sounds enticing, but don’t fall for it.

-How many times shown during the broadcast?

Jerry Jones: over/under 2.5 times

Under. This is another typical trap. They (sportsbooks) want you to think that it’s all about the location of the Super Bowl and they are going to talk about the man behind the massive Dallas Cowboy Stadium. However, they are probably going to show him once, for an extended period of time, and explain everything there is to explain. And that should be it. However, if the game is close and comes down to the final drive or so, they might show Jerry Jones again to see his reaction. Therefore, they will show Jerry Jones twice max!

-How many times mentioned?

Brett Favre: over/under 2.5 times

America loves Brett Favre for whatever reason. The public is going to bet the over, so I’m taking the under. This is a tough one though, 0.5 unit play here.

-First End Zone Celebration?

Ball Spike: +$300

Championship Belt +$300

Lambeau Leap +$300

Dunk over cross bar: +$400

Quiets the Crowd +$600

Bicep flex +$700

Backflip: +$800

Snow Angel: +$1100

Signs football with Sharpie: +1700

These sort of bets are interesting. Always remember, we’re thinking long run here, not the short term. And the key here is, bad bets win sometimes, and good bets lose sometimes. Therefore, I’m going with the bicep flex +700 (bet 100, to win 700). And if we don’t cash this bet, it doesn’t mean it was a bad bet, we DO NOT have to win this over 50% of the time like we do with our over/under bets. I’m also going 0.5 unit play with the snow angel (that’s all Aaron Rodgers there, college tapes)

-What color will the Gatorade be that is dumped on the Head Coach of the Winning Super Bowl Team?

($100 wins . . . )

Yellow: +$150

Clear: +$300

Orange: +$300

Red: +$400

Lime Green: +$500

Blue: +$1500

The correct bet is lime green, no explanation needed

Enjoy, and good luck.

killer boots, man

Kris Humphries is killing me. Why can't he just either be consistent with his double-doubles, or just play 12 minutes a night and let me drop him. It's like a bad teenage relationship. We don't even really like each other, but they're just there and somewhat convenient. I'm giving him attention, and he gives me decent stats some nights, but then goes 0-8 in a two game span. Just like those bad relationships, I tell myself if he fcuks up one more time, it's over, we're through. then he gives me 15 pts, 9 boards, and 1 block. And he KNNOWS how much I like blocks, I’m such a sucker. And we start the never ending cycle over again.

After the market closed, Ryan and I ate lunch at this pizza place in the financial district. As soon as we ordered and sat down, Dave Chappelle walked across the sidewalk in front of where we were sitting. My jaw dropped, and I said “oh shit, that’s Dave Chappelle.” I’m 99.9% sure that it was Dave Chappelle. I stared at him walking until he was out of sight, and he stopped for a picture with someone. And even Ryan said it was him. If I was alone, I would have definitely gone weirdo stalker crazy kid and followed him down the street. But lucky for HIM, I was with someone else, and didn’t want to embarrass myself.

What an awesome line

And so far, we have 9 members in my poker home game. Come join! I'm going to be at the tables almost every day from 6pm to 930 pm. If you want to play for play money, we can play heads up. Also, if people come by and are interested we can play for real money. Or, i can schedule a time and day, and we can have a scheduled poker game so people can make plans.

think outside the bun

Jersey Shore season 4!!! The group is headed to Italy this spring to film season 4. These guys are so big right now, it’s ridiculous. It was also confirmed that Pauly D will eventually have his own spin-off show on MTV. He is by far the funniest on the show, so that’ll be interesting too. But, season 3 is starting to scare me. All of the good/interesting things in the preview have happened already. Jenni and Sammi’s fight, Snooki’s arrest, and Sammi punching Ronnie in the face. It’s also a little disappointing that Jenni and Sammi are acting friendly with each other right now. I’m not officially concerned yet, but there is a lot of pressure going into next week’s show.

I went to Ikea last week to look for room stuff. I couldn’t believe how huge it was. It definitely had a casino-feel to it. There was a big multi-level parking structure, just like a casino. There was a food court, just like a casino. There was a kid play place, like a casino’s arcade. There were massive amounts of excited people walking around trying to spend money. And once you’re inside, you kind of get lost, and don’t really know how to get out if you have to. They’re killing it right now.

I think this whole Taco Bell lawsuit is hilarious. Taco Bell claims the beef that they use is 88% beef. However, the lawsuit claims that their beef is actually only 35% beef. There’s a huge difference between 88% and 35%. Thirty-five percent!! That would be so funny. That sounds a little too much like Mondo Burger to me. Adding thriampithal? to their unsuspecting customers?

Last Subway pet peeve for a long time. I hate it when the lady smashes the bread while she is trying to cut it open. I asked for honey oat bread. I didn't ask for honey oat flatbread, bitch. i'm kidding, i love all self proclaimed "sandwich artists"

Everyone knows that Rounders is by far the best poker movie. And I know it's still a year or two away, but i can't waaaaaaaaaaaaait for Rounders 2 to come out. Supposedly, it's set to release in 2012, but i assume it will get pushed back a bit.
I read a "legit" rumor online that Tom durrrr Dwan is in the opening scene, and he or another character makes a huge misclick and loses a ton of money playing online.

-So far, 5 people have joined the PokerStars home game. We need more players! everyone should make an account and join, or tell your friends about it. They have play money tables, so if you don't want to play for real money, we can still play for fun. I was playing Russ heads up the other day for play money, and it was really fun. Russ kept owning me and finally stacked me, and i wrote in chat "a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes". (my friend ray used to say this when we played poker in college) But anyway, Russ stacked me again, and he wrote "I found another one"
^what a good line. But yeah, join if you're interested, or even semi-interested.
