::poker::
jus recieved my monitore from dell. bought a 20 inch monitore so tht i can play more tables when i poker. started with 3 tables. and its been fine. total playing time is 10 hours in a short space of 3.5 hours in human time. 10 hours of rake is 160 usd. so its all cool. plus winnings of 250 usd.. i am up like 650 for today and its only 4 am! big screen monitore(1600X1200) for mass tabling is a must buy for serious poker players.
this month's poker has been quite good. currently up aroudn 5600 sgd. one more week to go. recently i found my play getting better. i would say more solid. i used to fear tables which are too tight, but somehow, these days, i am used to it and starting to win in these very tight tabes. jus gotta limp in more with hands like A 9 off.
been playing a little bit of No-Limit games these days. and its all good. was thinking of switching to the NL as there is where the money is. or so it seems.
gonna concentrate for another 2 month on the 5-10 and make sure i always own the table before moving up to the 10-20 tables. i need a hugh bankroll.. 10-20 is scary, one hand, easily cost 200-300 sgd? yeah.. its tht wild. but i need to improve and move up the ladder. i wanna be like those poker hot shots!
i take poker seriously. =P

many things have happened since the last entry.
1.my used to be close fren committed sucided and passed away. may god bless him.
2. well, had some form argument with my "new" frens i made. well, i guess sometimes, its jus not possible to be on both sides. gotta take a pick and choose one side. thts life. situations can be pacified, but somethings will never be the same as before.
3. dont really get to see the sun anymore these days. well, i do.. thts when i go for my supper at 7 am. yeah, sleeping time nowadays has changed quite abit. :) in fact, suppose to meet my fren at 12 pm.. and its aready like 5 am here. i dont know how i am gonna do it man.
4. these days, i am a little worried. somewhat worried about my future. well, there is nothing to be worried actually, jus tht.. hmmm... i dont know.. i have few business plan... met some hiccup. i dont know how to go around doing this project. kinda like a mammoth task, but then again, got to think hard and see how la. maybe tht is why i am feeling worried for no reason, jsu because i meet some hicup in this project.
5. sometimes, when i smoke, i tend to think. and i think about things like, could be possible one day you will be the next donald trump? well, of course tht is so far fetch, i dont need to be rich like him. but well, i would like to be some multi-millionare though.. haha.. of course, looking at the current situation, there is no way i can make any multi millions. but its jus a dream. you know, you never know.. and tht is jus one of my few fantasy. be fucking fucking rich, and do whatever i want. ;)

one of my better start to the month. currently up 2100 sgd from poker, played only a total of 11.5 hours for the past 5 days. changed a few small details from my usual style.
difference: no longer plays 2 table at the same time, jus one and concentrate. only playing during my optimal stage(no drink-pokering). thts about it.
::blog::
i'm jus wondering, with an apartment that cost around 400K. interest would be around say 100K... it would be a hefty amt of interest and makes one jus wanna pay cash. but the counter argument is that according to an article, there was this HDB which cost 46K 19 years ago and it has tripled to 180K now. so there is a decision to make. we all know that money now is definetly stronger than money in say 10 years time(i hope you readers know what i mean). so you see, it might be actually be more worth it to pay installment simply because of the rising price of the properties(it is a sure thing that over a period of time, properties will increase its value in relation to the inflation rate) as by the time you reach the end of your 20 years old loan, your property outgrew your cost of the flat you buy. and money is stronger now than 20 years later.
so this is something tht one should consider throughly.

this month has been quite alright.. made 5040 from poker for october. had a rush for the past 2 days, made 1400 sgd.
there was this particular hand i would like to share.
i was holding KQ offsuit. i raised preflop. all folded except the big blind. flop came AA 8. he checked, and i bet. he raised but i reraised. whats going through my mind is. since the flop came AA8, normal players with an ace would not bet at it(instead they will slowplay it). so when i bet at the flop, i thought that the person would think that, if never11 had ace, he will not bet it as he will slowplay it and thus he raised me to try to steal the pot from me. but i think inside his head tht he might think this way, thus i reraise so tht i could really represent the ace this time. He called my raise. turn came J. i bet again, he reraise( obvious he had the ace, but i called him to try to hit my st8 as the pot is so large now, *in the end i didnt hit my st8 and so i lost the pot)... from my frens point of view, he was like, wtf are you doing andry- tht is beginners play, reraising with nothing.
although i did not win the pot, but one thing i think all good players should think is, what is your opponent capable of. you must think inside their head. although i lost the pot, i thought i played it well, cause you dont want to be outplay and since 2 aces is out, the chances of his having and ace is reduced. i remmeebr when i started out playing poker, those experts says tht i should think inside your opponent's head, i find it difficult, but it seems that i am starting to think this way. and its good, so tht your opponent will not outplay your st8 forward play. my advice is that, try to figure out what your opponent thinks. it had help me won alot of pots this way. i used to think that this advice is ridiculous, but it is really essential if you want to reach the elite level or anyone thinking of trying to win money from poker.
to date: still only 2 players i have known overall i think makes money. thats me and another guy as much as so many is playing. perhaps some of my frens did not give me numbers but i think that the even if they do make, its still quite small to considered that they are making something.(in fact as i mentioned in my previous blog, what i am making is already quite small compared to other poker players).
