yeah the 1-table thing affected me so I played headsup instead
ipoker seems to be working fine from this morning. weea, anyway, need to thank the coincidence for pushing me into merging my databases.
Have 1 big for 3 platforms finally, after 2 days in a row having comp importing nonstop ~12h. I also have lost loyalty status from last month for ipoker and have no chance of moving up again this month, so the tactic is easy: bumhunting on NL1k+ on 3 platforms simultaneously, sth i should have been doing already for a looong time.
In TdF 1st semimountainous stage today. Lance GO GO! Also, my parents come to help me move out first half of my things from here. The expected complete moving to a new apartment is end of next week.
Yesterday's story: I ve been out skating on rollers again, meet the neighbor when returning in an elevator: (we live on 5th floor = ~20sec of war of attrition) Our discussion: "Dobry" ; "Dobry" (meaning: "Good" (day) ) Then when i was entering our flat, which front door is 1m away from theirs we looked eyeys to eyes and i ve seen this disgusting grimase like u were smelling to rotten animal literally. Without words.
I wanted to say goodbye.. but didnt then.. f hate these ppl, who take life too seriously, crucifying others in their minds. Dont they remember when they were 20ish and stupid, unexperienced, full of life? (and i can imagine MOST of young ppl being much worse renters- we have never been drunk there or throwing anything out of balcony fe, or shouting alound on purpose or anything.. just occasional floods ♦ and some noise in the night when we were talking casually) Just takes out so much energy from me. Hate ppl right now.

I like your style sir
The tour really rules this year.
I still haven't made my mind about Armstrong though, somehow I can't imagine that he was running against doped people all the time and always getting first.
noone works only on nuddles. Every topnotch sportsman on TdF takes alot of food suplements and other additives (sorry dunno correct word), in the end its only the matetr if he manages to avoid being caught. There is alot of stuff that is still legal but it helps tremednously on your strength and endurance. Not all is illegal.
Noone really noone in todays sports doesnt just eat nromal food and achieve topnotch results. Too bad there is not a clear line of what is allowed and what not.

Yes but food supplements and hormone therapy and such are completely different. The first are basically just concentrated proteins, fast absorbing sugars etc. I do however agree that the current antidoping politics are fucked up. Poor guys need to give blood in the middle of the night without warning, they need to tell the federation exactly where they are training, they are guilty if suspected of anything until they prove they are innocent...
Cycling sports is sport where the steroids are very popular. It might even be the 3rd sport after Bodybuilding and Powerlifting.
And yeah food supplements are nothing bad, protein is just the same as protein from eggs, milk or meat. Same amino acids. It just absorbs(is being absorbed?) faster. Society is clueless about sport supplements.
Btw. Anyone who knows more about roids. Is HGH allowed?

Yes, so fucked up, and it is only like this in cycling, so unfair

Seriously this is the biggest misconception of all. If you know how many doping tests there are in cycling and which % is actually 'positive', you would'nt say this. Because of all these tests the last 10-20 years, cycling became one of the most clean sports of all. When you are being caught you just are being humiliated, you have no more work (hardly any1 wants you in your team, only real big talents manage to find work after their penalty), + you have to pay huuuge fees (up to 2 years of salary). So cyclists really are pretty scared nowadays to use illegal products.
In other sports this is so much different. When there is an unexpected doping control 3/4 the time people get caught, but they just won't do anything about it. For example in "Operación Puerto" many sportsmen were caught, like Nadal, Alonso, the whole team of Real Madrid, Barca, many track & field athletes ... and also 1/4 were cyclists, ofc they got all the attention. In the other sports it all remained silent like if nothing had happened.
I also agree that it is much more beneficial for a cycler to use dope than it is in sports like football etc, cause it is much more intense for the muscles and endurance but right now the supervision is so huuge it became a "pretty clean" sport compared to ANY other sport where there is a lot of money involved.
Ps: sorry TLN and Ivan for spamming your blog
no spamming at all, the blog was boring for quite a while, nice to start some discussion in here. This stage promises to be very interesting. The main bunch already splitting up. Should be a nice finale. I predict Evans to go for a yellow at the end.
I very much agree what was said before from both sides, cycling underwent a big change after operation Puerto. Many of the top guns in the sport immediately quit at the time. Both for falling under suspisions and/or disliking what antidoping authorities were doing to their privacy. I was very sad this latter reason also affected Ullrich (ve been his fan ever since 97 where i watched TdF for the 1st time), which was alw quite a reserved person and hated ppl monitoring on his personal life. He was caught 2x being excessively drunk and using light drugs on discos.. I mean ftw.. why cannot a cyclist enjoy a normal life offseason? The standards of controls have become ridiculously high, frankly i am really surprised there werent more strikes by cyclists, like it was during TdF06 after the police raid incident.
All this shows is that cyclists are usually so dedicated to their sport, i really like the sport for this as well.. they sacrifice so much to get to the top, much much more than other professional sportsmen. Wonderful sport + Peter Sagan future superstar and a successor of Lance
i really hope lance wins this year. Today it was first semi mountain mission and already half of lance helpers were out, even his 2nd or 1st helped didnt make it in first major group. But as long as he has Brajkovic along himself he has good enough support imo. anyone saw 1 month earlier how easily brajkovic withstand all the attacks from contador, i think it was dauphne tour?
Sorry for posting nothing poker related (not to know what could i talk with you poker related, maybe just spamming noobs questions), but anytime i see a post dedicated to sport i need to respond as a am a major sports freak myself. Only sport i hate is basketball, sth to do with it that i suck at it.
I might be a fish for NL20, thats for sure. Obv, not enough exp, i tried 2 times to beat NL20 for fun lately, both SH and FR for playin 1h and i lost both times ♦ ..
wayman: well.. i was esp surprised abt Radioshack in the 3rd stage on cobbles, they were remarkable under expectations there. Lance even finished the best there from the team having punctured and having to go by himself a fair distance. Today, Kloden's falling back was a surprise indeed, but Paulinho or Popo are saving themselves for 2moro, so ntg to worry abt. Brajkovic is not going to be a typical domestique i dont think. He won Dauphine this year which elevated his position in the team to sth of Leipy/Kloden style, so i think they re only going to use him as a potential threat for attacks not as a dragging force.
Tomorrow if they all feel good i predict big actiontime. Also Liquigas has to do sth, sofar ntg from them at all whole tour.
i left out last months reports since i was kinda pissed (and still am) that i didnt play more.
here is how it went tho, the 8 days in the month i did play:
overall, big dissapointment, just volumewise tho rly, the play was ok, and stable, the swing was running bad on NL1k-2k, in the earlier parts of the graph i run hot, so it kinda equaled out.

I am going to make a new plans for the following months soon. I am for sure postponing a real attack of NL5k, the general concept is to play mostly NL1k-2k, put in some volume and reach sth resembling 50k$, though it's very unlikely for this month, since the moving we have to do, and prolly without a stable internet for few days etc..i doubt i will play more than 20k hands again, fml.. btw: if u want anything from me in general write me here rather than on skype, coz i ll try to go somewhat into lockdown mode.
oh, fml, variance, yesterday had 1 of the steepest meltdowns in my career, maybe even THE 1st.. lost 8k in ~1.5h most on NL600-1k on in avg 5tabs (running 8k below ev, but i feel even more unlucky coz when i decided to bluff vs nits they were alw on top of their range.. (i know they are b/f R quite a lot=not supernits) f
) kept playing tho and got 3k back after tightening up a bit. Overall just lost 5k, feeling like sometimes quite laggy style rly suits me, ppl steaming vs me and hitting their 2 outers is sweet
there were some classy 4th pair calldowns, rly enjoyed poker since played first longer session in close to month. (6h) Feel extragood and confident today and after TdF ready to play 10h+ . Feel the most winning/losing session in my life coming
stay tuned
Today, big day for cycling, end of Armstrong's era for good. Lived by the sword, died by the sword.
But what a variance, frankly, 3 times on a deck in 1 stage.. just incredible, he lost it in his head after the 2nd one i presume, just resigned.
I am hardly going to watch any further stages. my guess for overall gc in the end: 1.Contador 2. Schleck 3. close betw Evans and Menchov
bow, oh and yea, next years clear winner: Peter Sagan
I think Contador will go down this tour (thats what I thought before the tour and still think actually). I thought Shleck or Evans will be better, right now Shleck had the biggest impression on me. Althought he doesnt really have a strong team anymore but still he will be very close. There is also just one time trial which is his weakest point.
Indeed, very sad day for Armstrong, I almost cried :f_cry:.
Also great performance of Belgian Jurgen Van den Broeck :f_p:. He will be top ten for sure
Menchov is my favourite now, but i doubt he has any real chance against contador who has great team to support him, outstanding job they did today.
TdF lost alot on popularity today when armstrong couldnt cope with the best
But still what he did in previous years is just amazing and I wish him all the best in the future.
