::APT MACAU::

jus a fast entry.

landed in macau on monday........ hit lisboa casino...... broke even for the cash games there.... too small for me to be bothered.... hmm, or infact, i drop 3k HKD(equivalent to 600 sgd)..... then went to play backjack n won like 15k HKD..... so up 12k HKD for the day......

tuesday, was a terrible day......... played some small stakes poker 25-50HKD( dropped another 15k there)..... its too small, n i was raising n playing almost every hand i got.... about 75% of my hands.. hahah... got reraise many times, n i jus flat call...... its kinda sick to a certain extend........
then went to play 100-200 with 12k chips........ build it up to 25k............. then came a big flop.... i raise dealer with j9ss too 700..... sb reraise me to 2200... i called.. flop is AA5 with no flush draw.. he bet out 3k.....i call(float)...... turn 4.. he check, i bet 5k to him....... he check raise all in..... i fold..... hahah.. after tht i left the table, lost my winnings at 100-200, and it was tough to build tht one so, i was kinda really pissed..... tilting mode...... then i went to play blackjack, n dropped another 40k there.. hahah.... so down 50k HKD...... about 10k equivalent...... stupid blackjack..


wednesday....... tried the megasatellite.......... n another satellite 2500 buy in..... didnt win any seat from either one..... but what really pisses me off was the 2nd satellite, i had AA..... blinds 400-800.. i had 16k stack, my opponent have 18k stack.. he raise to 2k..... i was @ sb, i reraise him to 4.8k....... he reraise me another 8k.. i went all in.. he flipped KK.......... flop came KQ3.. 2 diamonds... i had ace diamonds.. turn was 7 of diamonds.. now i have flush draw....... river, another k!.. n i'm out.. super bad beat.. if i had won tht pot, i would have been the chip leader of the tournament!.......

therafter, i went to the 100-200 game with a 5k buy in. short stack...... from there i build until 70k hkd..... then i cash out...... hmm.. so basically, i'm break even for all my expenditure n casino losses n tournament buy ins...........

n here i am now blogging.. my day barely started yet....... gonna try the 100-200 cash game again.. short stack buy in 5k....... see how far i will go.. gonna jus buy into the main event btw... the satellite is draining n waste time only... damn crap...

okie wish me luck!.. 1.5m usd guranteed for the main event!.. so far only 166 players entered.... seems like hugh overlay.... they need another 144 players to break even, but i reckon at most its only 240 players.... lets hope i will do well.. keep you guys updated!

::once in a while::



once in a while, i'll meet some people, tht will come to me n tell me they read my blog.. n thinks i write very interesting stuff inside(of course u get those tht thinks its fuking boring too!)...


tht kinda makes me continue blogging once in a while i suppose.......


poker wise, nothing much man.. jus the ususal poker stuffs... u know making money, etc etc.. but nothing really big....... well depends what is big for u ;).


ive been really lazy, losing my drive..

but then again, what is considered losing ur drive? i jus simply cant be bothered to things tht is of small importance.

ive been approached to run a poker company from scratch, a subsidary of a listed company over in australia. their main target will mainly be china. my role will most likely to be a poker consultant(how ironic, i think this time round i can be considered a poker consultant for real. with years of experience under my belt.) i guess the success of TheAsiaPoker.com has gotten my name spread across the gaming industry. not to a big extent, but its slowly being noticed by people those in the industry. the director asked me what do i look for in return... well, i told him, to pay me by hourly wage, tht will cost them too much money as my hourly poker rate is simply too high for any1 to pay me. in return i ask them for X% of the poker subsidary shares instead. everything is very tentative. but from the way i look at things, i wont be suprised if i get the job. they've got nothing to lose by hiring me. no additional cost. and only pay me when the company is making bucks.

Jus the other day, i went to this birthday party. n then the friend of the birthday girl wanted to know me. oh well, i entertained him. he asked me bout my life story. and what r my beliefs in life n want to learn from me..... this time round its different, unlike many people tht says tht, they want to learn poker from me. this fella, wants to know what is my philosophy in life. thts a great start to his thinking. because, it has never been about poker... its about ur theories in life..... alot of people thinks tht its because of poker, thus i made it in life..... thts not true... its alot about sheer determination, taking risks(n yes big risk), strong self belief, n of course brains.. timing is also very important.

looking thru what i've went thru in life, starting from scratch, the pain i've suffered from failed relationships n the pain how people depised me when i was nobody, i wouldnt want my life to go any other way. i truely enjoyed what i've suffered, although looking back, i think what i've went thru, would have broken the mind of most people. takes a true champion to come out tops. there is definitly no humility in me. but thts jus me. i'm andry.

ive seen, one of my fren, whom i would think would be very successful in life, been broken down by the girl he loved, who left him for another guy. n trust me, i know how love can break a man. n his broken. i do hope he will recover. its for him to find himself back. its been a long time, but he hadnt recover... but lets hope he does. god bless him.

my life aint tht perfect either, but i guess, compare to alot of people, its still a very good life.

speaking of which, now its 630 am.. but i've gotta send an email to my new "boss".

this will be a very interesting job.

alrights, thts all for tonight folks.

have a good life people. enjoy life! remmeber, what good is life if u have to slog like a dog n dont enjoy it. u either make it or break it. ;)
