yesterday, went to phuture to do some "guys night out". no girls, jus guys. its pretty fun. its all about picking up chicks night.(although, it was a failure. hehe).. i saw the worst rejection ever man.
so, i was telling my fren, dude, jus go to the girl and say "hi". thts my pickup line.haha. been pretty successful with tht line i suppose, 2 out of 3 hits? heh. anyway, so as i was saying, he went up to the girl say "hi". the girl never reply.. okayyyy, so he came back and told me. then i said, maybe she didnt hear, try it again. i was at the dance floor btw. and so i was 1 meter away from him, and he went up to the girl and said "hi". i was kinda far away and the music was so loud, but i still could hear his "hi". guess what, the girl even didnt even give half fuck about it and pretended not to hear it.... oh man, thts really terrible. and he came back. poor fella.
went to velvet to hang out for the first time for a little while. its my poker fren's bday. its pretty cool. man, lotsa hot chicks there, all the older kind you know. and yeah, the whole party, i was like the youngest there, and i'm 22 and the other guys are like in their 30s. even the girls are all older than me, 24 years old. haha... so yeah, its kinda eye opener in a way. :). looking at the older crowd people. and btw, its fuking scadalous over there. trust me, all these grown ups. making out here and there like bunnies. pretty chill and nice place. definetly worth going back there again.
and this particular girl tht i was talking to in the party. she can bore me to death. about how she loves her bf so much. and how successful guys like them(the poker guys, they are having quite good jobs), and high IQ, rich, doesnt impress her. and she loves her BF for his personality even though he doesnt have looks. i'm like okayyyyyy, ya, you can tell me once, but thts about it. dont need to fucking keep telling me how she goes for character. blah blah blah.
of course, i'm guilty of repeating things myself at times. :P
this months poker is neither good or fantastic. its MAD! the amount i made this month, its outrageous. the annual pay of a fresh grad.
maybe, jus maybe, i'll be afford the really really nice things in life in time to come. hopefully.

At times, i really feel like i can be a psychologist. seriously. its like, being a poker player, you are taught to think inside people's head, think what they think, etc. its got alot to do with psychology. recently i have read a book "the psychology of poker".
u see, i used to think that, everyone plays poker to win money. yes, some to kill time and some for social reason. but the strong reason to it is that people wants to win money... but after reading the book, i have come to realise tht its not tht simple. not everything is money driven. some people they love to play losing poker tht gives action. they jus love the action, they dont care if its a losing play. and sometimes, we gotta accept that, i mean, i used to never understand why people would wanna play something they know they gonna lose, etc etc. but now, i have come to understand people more. its like, everybody have their own little things that they wanna do in life. it might seems irrational, but thts how things works and they want to do the "irrational" thing for whatever reason.
i've come to accept that these things happen. nothing in this world is free, but then again, not everything in this world is all about rationality. sometimes u gain a good deal out of people's irrational and sometimes u dont.
but thats good, without all these reasons, i'd be out of job.
and of course, my irrational part of me, would be such a sucker for 'miss pretty'. damn!

Fantastic. its been a week since i last blogged. but yeah, this month, i am up 6.6K sgd. and its only the 10th.what a turn around.
i was talking to my fren. and i said," dude, one session, win or lose in thousands, you not stressed?" he plays higher stakes than me. and his reply is," it doesnt matter, because i know i will win. so its ok." .....
after what happened, it suddenly dawn into me, you know, i shouldnt take any loss as a loss. like let it affect you. cause seriously, if you are a winning player, u will win in the long run. this sounds like a very obvious advice, but the thing is tht i dont know, for the first time in my life, after what he said, i dont really look at the value of the money. cause it really doesnt matter if you lose say 800 usd per session. cause you will make it back!... Been playing more poker after he said tht. these days i would say i am much more hard working. this month, i have clocked 15o hours. tht like equivalent to last month's poker work. so yeah. this is good. and i can earn more rakeback.
the other trick is to play only premium hands. such as J 10 and above. and also, to reraise more often than not. cause you will gain position and might steal the pot. now i can understand why those tables can have alot of preflop raises. not because everytime they flopped aces.lol
its fairly important to write down what you learnt. and thts what i do in my notebook. because, sometimes after having long periods of winning, you tend to stray away from the winning formula. ;)

blogging has its own therapatic value. i dont know why, but it does makes me feel better after a stressful day at "work"
currently, in the midst of critical decisions for my business plans and bad poker month and running away lenders, etc etc. too many do or die decision to make. yeap.
its funny when i have given up hope on a particular relationship, to only know tht now, she is very free. lots of time to meet up with me.when before this, the strain of the relationship is due to her being too busy. but the thing is tht, i dont know if you readers know what i mean, once you give up, you lose tht feeling. its a little too late. i dont know mannnnnn.
poker last month is pretty decent, jus short fall of my monthly aim. but this month, its terrible. currently down 3.3K sgd. i really feel like an ultimate screwed up poker player. something is wrong with my play. need to reflect abit.
