Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season. I'm looking foward to the New Year and all the wonderful things that are going to happen. Here's to having a good time on New Year's Eve!

Their users are no good bandwidth stealing whores. Stats from this month prove what bastards they are.

Yes, that's 10900 times an image has tried to be loaded on another site from mine (although not all are from myspace, the vast majority are.)

AND the top 4 links from an external page are

please note that these stats are just for this december so far.

How about you educate your users not to steal other peoples paid for bandwidth myspace? And to your users I say fuck you.

Well I watched the season finale tonight. I don't really know how to describe it other than it was kind of odd. I suspected that it was Quentin but that just seemed way too obvious. Then of course they threw in a lot of other random things. Overall, I thought it was pretty good.

I've also been able to get a few more movies to my collection and finally have figured out some I can get that I don't have yet. My collection is going to be rather large by the time I leave to move back to Ohio.

Well sort of, but I just realized ... SPIDER SOLITAIRE PISSES ME OFF SO BAD! It just fucks with my letting me win one game then dicking me over so many more in a row. Stupid thought, I know but good god... I can't ever imagine how some people are able to play 4 suited, that would drive me goddamn nuts so that I would have to be put in an insane asylum.

Other random thought, I forgot to do my Christmas shit today... gonna be another late night, damn it.

I bought a Sony DL DVD Burner a month or so ago. Some must have programs for it if you are going to backup your movies are AnyDVD and CloneDVD2. I also went out and bought a Sirius Sportster Replay so now I can listen to satellite radio. Sirius > XM.

Other than that I've been working, working, and then drinking while watching football on Saturday/Sunday. This time of year weekends are great, especially if the teams I want win.

I'll finally be able to listen to some of the Jayhawks basketball games this year with Sirius since they cover the Big 12, one of the main reasons why Sirius owns XM. Not to mention, Sirius also plays EVERY NFL game, so you can't argue with that. And obviously, since I have been working now I haven't played any poker for awhile, just not in the mood.

Pretty shitty update, but I never claimed to be a good writer.

So I spent the better portion of my free time the past week creating a spreadsheet to track my sit 'n go results. I had one previously, but this one helps keep stats a bit better. I only played 3 SnG's today and won two and busted out in 8th on the other, you can see the hand if you continue reading. I only have 30 SnG's recorded so far, so my stats so far can be a bit misleading. Once I get some more under my belt I will post so more information. But basically I am up $75.00 since I decided to stop playing ring games and strictly focus on SnG's. I think once I double up to $300 I will move up to the $10+1 ones and see how it goes.

This morning I also had an interview for some contract work at a company that would basically include me setting up computers and such. Nothing too difficult but it would hopefully get my foot in the door so I could get a "real" job. It's been so long since I've worked I forget what it's like. Hopefully all works out and in less that a couple weeks time I am working. Then I'll use whatever poker winnings I can to help out my girlfriend with her bills.

Just a quick update on my friends $550 profit from a couple days of blackjack at Bodog, he lost it all. Yup, even his intial $100 buyin. Goes to show you can make money fast playing blackjack, but you can lose it back just as quickly.

I also have decided to stick strictly to SnG's with my little bankroll just for fun. Apparently, I suck right now and don't want to go into details but basically I played 5 1 table tournaments and 1 heads-up and ended the day -$.25. Afterwards I created a little spreadsheet to keep track of my results in Excel, so if I start doing better I might post the results here every so often.

A buddy of mine has come over a couple times this week and decided to deposit a hundred bucks into an online casino. After a bit of looking around and playing the play money at a few sites, we settled on Bodog. They offered a 20% bonus on your first deposit, not exactly a lot of cash, but a free 20 bucks.

So the first day he put $50 down on the craps table and within 10-15 minutes was down to $1. We moved on to Blackjack with another $50, and by the end of the evening had run that up to over $100 in profit, so with the initial depost bonus and his profit, he was up $120 for his $100 deposit.

Then he decided to come over last night and try his luck again. Needless to say he couldn't lose, other than a few minor times. He ran his money up and had an overall profit of $500. Then he let me play poker for a bit, just on a little .10/.25 NL table. I sat down with $20 and within maybe an hour or so had doubled it to $60. Then he started to play some blackjack again and started to donk away almost $100 before he ran it all back up to what he sat at before.

It's amazing and I have no idea how he is up $550 for about 5-6 hours worth of blackjack, just from his initial $100 deposit. Perhaps I should switch games.

[edit:] Forgot to mention that I have about $150 in Pokerstars now and basically keep going up and down around that mark playing the micro-NL cash games. I'm probably going to switch to some SnG's again soon.

I have only placed 3rd once out of the last about 10 Sit 'n Go's, but have been able to make most all of my money back playing 6 handed .10/.25 NLHE. At first I was losing my SnG's because of some really poor play, but the last hand that did it to me was my KK all-in preflop to JJ. Flop was rags, turn was a J and just to rub it in more, river was another J.

But even after all those bad beats I was able to play a decent game and make my money back. I just need to play tight and good poker because I still believe I can beat the SnG's on a normal basis if I just get back to my regular game. I bet it was all my dumb playing in the play money games that has thrown me off. I'll try some more SnG's tomorrow.

So I decided today since I have been playing so much poker with play money (currently have 416,000 in play chips) that I might as well play with some real cash and see if I could place after playing like a donk with a bunch of idiots for chips that are almost worthless.

I entered two 9 man $5.50 sit and go's and they went fairly well. On one table I wasn't getting dealt anything and soon was at around $900 and the other I did decent and was up to about $2000. And to not bore you with the details I ended up winning the tournament in which I got short stacked and came in third on the one I had more chips. So I'm up today $20.50 and I have $107 in my Pokerstars account to screw around with. And of course, if you continue reading I'll show a couple hand histories from todays tourneys.
