The Education of a Modern Poker Player by TwiceT, jbpatzer & EmanuelC16
That is going to be my June goal btw. I have no idea where the Dublin Ikea is but there are numerous shops where I can buy some
I played the least so far in 2012 in the Month May, most of my time were devoted in passing my exams. I could just play Poker and pass the exams with minimal effort but that's not my style because I just get a bad feeling about it which can increase the stress level
I generally must say I see myself increasing in foreseeing spots which is an important step to see yourself improving. If you know he has it & folds while someone is all-in preflop and the guy flips over 3 out of 4 cards that you think he had, that feels like I am on the right track
I do surf a lot on my laptops while playing 8 tables, some small things which is definitely screwing things up. I have no idea why I have created this habit because in 2011-10-09-08, I didn't had this habit
Life is great here but I think I have to travel abroad this summer to make it a good summer, I have some ideas but nothing concrete.
I have this mediterrenean lunch I like with Milan Salami, Brie, Mozarrella, Tomatoes, Cucumber & Ham or just plain soup 
as a result I consume less but can do more
TO THE PILLOW!
Hey there,
if you want to get rid of the surfing problem, you can try downloading the addon for chrome called Stayfocusd.
You can just use the nuclear option there to for example block all websites for for example 1 hour (you set the amount of hours).
You can also use a list of allowed sites which will still enable certain websites, if you want to for example be able to have youtube running for music.
I hope this helps,

Thank you, let's see if this works rather than self discipline 
May Review
- Poker
I barely played 30 hours, half of them was getting my diesel engine rolling. With the EC next week, I will still play a decent sum, currently I have nothing planned to travel and hope to keep it that way
I'm mentally stronger than before in this Pillow game, Im more confident in the HU game when starting tables with fish, I table select only when I have an annoying reg on my left who is just 3betting me the whole time resulting in me 4betting liberally and increasing the whole variance where people even rage on monopoly games:
- Life
I finished University for this season around the 9th, the start of a 5 Month Vacation 
Acquired more magic friends so far it looks fine
- Magic
I'm getting steadily better at technical play of Magic. I took down my first Constructed Tournament last week which doesn't mean much as I only played 2 Unique opponents ( 5 rounds -> BYE , Opp 1, Opp 2 -> PLay offs -> Opp 1 & Opp 2 again)
Limited I study more and more theory which is really interesting. Since I have some capital to back it up, it is much more enjoyable.
I will not play on MTGO online as I have enough days to play in my local game store.

A good speculation month for me, I have some other cards I am speculating on but I want to increase my volume in speculating & cashing in. problem with irish people is that they are not really interested in trading cards ffs while Dutch people love it and I make good money on that
October+ there will be new sets with new cards as in July there will be a reprint set that only deflates prices ( more supply => Fall in prices when ceteris paribus )

First time I surfed on PokerScout.com again for traffic but hey they also have news headlines.
This grabbed my eye:
Loss of Player Funds “Expected” as Purple Lounge Liquidated
Wow what, this was one of the sites I played on ( Yes I might get banned for saying this I think ) like 1 1/2 years ago on the Microgaming network. I think TwiceT & me had some coachings on it (remember the purple layout?) and I think several people saw me playing on it.
It was an ''Okay'' public listed company ( http://www.mediacorpplc.com/ ) just like 888, Unibet so I figured the security of funds is relatively better than Skin X,Y,Z on the same network. Fortunately I was right at that time since I sacrificed some %deal for security since Skin X,Y,Z went busto, got kicked off the network or both
I even had my own VIP manager with personal contact just like Ingrid ( it was an adorable lady as well ) with generous rewards but from a logical point of view this can't be sustainable for long
Cashouts were generally fast (within 3 days) and if you were VIP , you mostly get it faster. The good thing was that I could deposit in Dollars, have my wallet in Dollars while the tables were in Euro. Every other skin of Microgaming nowadays have everything in Euro/euro/euro. My portfolio back in the days was exclusively Dollars.
With a rate of 0.65 or 1.45 of Dollar:Euro, that was not very fun but hey I was a young 18yo student with no overhead
Anyways I stopped playing there as I switched to shortstacking again etc. They were very kind and Microgaming is fairly soft network with a fast dealt system (more hands per hour etc.)
Anyways I suddenly got an email from them somewhere in 2012 that they were moving to Entraction network. Some people call it the graveyard network but for me it meant that they were caught offering under-the-table deals or something like that.
ofcourse some Marketing 101 wizard covered it up as something of new opportunity blabla, only a muppet would fall for this. They offer a 100% up to 1000 reload bonus for existing members with still generous rake races & 30% flat rakeback
1 month later they offered another 100% up to 1k reload bonus. Now Reload bonuses are great when the site is NOT ON THE VERGE OF shutting down due liquidity
Knowing Entraction software is not really my style, I just stayed away and then TOday. Today bam:
All staff laid off, business liquidated and player losses are expected as Media Corp admits to “historical operational financial failings” at Purple Lounge.
Key facts:
- License got silently suspended/terminated by Malta LGA
- They acquired Intabet before this
- London Stock Exchange listed
- According to PokerFuse Malta LGA won three times in a row the Casinomeister the Sitting on One's Hands award
it's pretty sick a Public listed Company with a license just shuts down just like that
I hope that enough pokersites are reliable and not hit & running when they attracted the most capital to liquidate with leaving Pokerplayers & casual players empty handed =/
- Gerv
PS
From their own website:

When will I get my money back?
We can’t comment on when or if you will receive your money back as that is down to the liquidators as they perform the liquidation process.
Will I get my full balance back?
We can’t comment on how much you will receive back from your Purple Lounge account; this will be down to the liquidators as they perform the liquidation process.
Is there anybody I can speak to?
Unfortunately, this is all the information available currently and there is nothing else they would be able to add at this time.
Is there anything I can do?
If you would like to make a claim with the creditors, please email purplelounge@purple-lounge.com and we will supply you with contact information for the creditors when they are appointed.
Since there are 2 Packages to Bwin's MOTOGP , I think I am going because:
Meh Had 2:1 chiplead vs a very very weaktight player who just wants it to be over with ...
Effective stacks were 20bb so I just shoved any two cards basically and then he picked up gas:
