Wave of Mutilation

Today I watched a couple of Brian Townsend’s videos from the midstakes portion of his “I like to move it, move it” series.

Oh, and I don’t know if this is a good thing or not but I’m currently eating shrimp wrapped in bacon and brown sugar. I hope it’s a good thing.

Anyway, these videos teach an aggressive bankroll management scheme. I think it’s reasonable if you can stay disciplined and move up or down when you’re supposed to. It’s funny that I picked those specifically to watch because one of the villains in those vids also appears in the next episode of Never Tell Me the Odds. Hope that’s not too much of a spoiler.

Also, the bacon wrapped shrimp wasn’t a great idea. I may experience nausea and have to finish this blog post later.

I’m not sure which episode it is but I remember one of the original Unconventional Wisdom’s providing me with a spicy lil aha moment. It’s the one where Vanessa is talking about playing against passive players and against them a lot of the time you aren’t checking to check and call on the river, like say some draws missed and you have top pair, vs. a lot of passive players you’re going to be checking to FOLD. That hit me in the head pretty hard and I was like OH DUHHHHH omg! Because I was always like “and now all the draws missed, so I will check and call!” Well, you live and you learn. There’s so much great information in that series anyway, it should definitely open your mind. Since I can’t remember which episode I’m talking about exactly, I guess you’ll have to watch them all :)

I’ve changed my avatar on Full Tilt to the clown, so I can hear Krantz over my shoulder when I’m about to do something boneheaded or get in a tough spot. I can just ask myself, what would Krantz do? JB1-Kranobi. Use the force obv.

It’s December and it’s cold. That means it’s time to run hotter than the sun to keep electric costs down. I figure if I can warm my bedroom with the flame dripping off of my cards on Full Tilt then I will definitely have increased my winrate.

So I got a new video card (EVGA GTS 250) to run my 30" and a 24", but my power supply (generic 500w) is now bogus, and whenever I’m trying to produce a video in camtasia it snap shuts down. Sure it starts up again and doesn’t really do it any other time, but still annoying and if I plan on making any videos in the future (and I do) I’m going to need to replace it. So, any suggestions?

It’s a Red House Painters kind of an evening. I bid you all farewell.
