100th post!!

first off id like to thank my sponsors and everyone close to me, and also my fans and followers. with out you guys i just dont believe i could have made it this far. hahaha anyways all joking aside it be my 100th post and im kinda happy about it. when i was starting this blog i intended to use it as kinda a learning tool which i have but it has also turned into a few other tools for me. i also see it as kind of a diary almost.... ok that sounds bad. a journal yeah much better. i know ill be able to look back at my posts and remember some of my better moments and also be able to laugh at some of the more not so memorable times as well. im happy with how things are going along and i can assure any readers that it is only going to get better from here and on into the new year.

so now onto life. aint shit happening yo! but yeah that pretty much somes it up this last week has been so lame. work has been going ok ive got 3 days left of the season and then ill be a free bird, but ill talk about that a little later. outside of work has just been stupid almost. i think i went out 4 times during the day to run game and i didnt see one girl that i wanted to approach. day game can be so frustrating especially in alaska. it also sucks cause i work midnight to noon so theres no time to go out at night to run night game and this whole month i have had 1 day off. i cant complain though cause if im not playing poker or chasing girls id rather be making money some how. plus 3 days left and ill be able to have some fun which is what i will talk about riiight meow!

so yeah im leaving to hawaii on the 13th but before that i plan on running some pretty solid night game. im gonna have 2 weeknds to go out before hawaii and i plan on going out probablly thursday-saturday night. the first weeknd will be pretty much devoted to running night game the second weeknd however will be different. my birthday is on the 10th wich is a thursday and to be honest i dont think i will be doing anything super exciting. my friends birthday however is the next day and we plan on going out at which time i will pretty much be celebrating my birthday as well. i would like to say i am going to go out that saturday as well but with the type of hangovers i get (zombie in acoma mode) and the events that are going to take place i doubt i will even make it out of the house. kinda sucks though cause thats the day i have to take my truck to get it shipped to seattle and im gonna be hating life but so what i just busted ass for 4.5 months. another thing im going to start doing at the clubs is getting the girls that i talk to, to take pictures with me i plan on posting them on here and then give a recap on the convo that i had with them and how things turned out. thats the plan anyway. as far as the hawaii trip goes. i plan on just getting away from reallity for those 9 days and jsut having a really fun and enjoyable time with my mom and friend. buuuuuut i do still plan on running some game there. from experience i know what the beaches of hawaii have to offer so im excited to try and run some "beach game"
if for nothing else than to just get a laugh from it. i dont plan on taking and electronics besides my phone and camera with me so when i get back ill have to recap and post pictures then. after that ill spend thanksgiving in town at which time my truck should be arriving in seattle then the next day and ill be flying down there to start a new adventure which im super stoked and cant wait for.

so for anyone who still reads this blog semi regularly i appreciate it. and thanks for reading while life was a little boring for me. the next post and plenty of posts after that should be filled with excitment, laughs, and wild times so untill then cosmonauts stay tuned

oh so close

well first i have to say to anyone who cares (mainly just me) that im sorry for not doing a post for last week. things have just been kind of a grind as of late and its been a bit slow in all aspects as of late. so i think in the last post i said i met a hot chick but she had fucked up teeth. i did end up calling her once and she didnt pick up so i just took that as a sign from the pickup artist gods to move on. so i did. i dont believe i had any real exciting things happen the week before this one. i might have done one other approach but i dont really remember. this week has kind of been slow as well. i only went out i think 3 times during the day and only did 2 approaches. ill talk a little later about why.

so for the approaches they were both on the same day. i first went to the mall on thrusday i believe. not surprising that it was almost like a ghost town in there. i ended up hanging out there for like an hour to see if anything would turn up. i ended up seeing this girl that was dressed kinda pretty but i wasnt really super attracted to her. i thaught ehh i might as well. so i went over to her table sat down and did an opening line she gave me a quick giggle grabbed her things and got up. hahah instant rejection. i havnt had one of those in a while so that was interesting. after that i got a smoothie and was like alright imma get out of here theres not much going on. so i headed to barnes and noble book store. ive gone there a bit but never really see any cute girls there. this time i did however. so i approached her and started a conversation, things went well. i was able to create attraction and comfort and schedule an unofficial date that we were going to plan for later so things went well. i texted her the next day to reopen her. im starting to try and learn really effective phone game. mostly through text and it went well. so things were going well and i was serioulsy about 2 or 3 messages away from setting up the date when she sent me a message saying that she wanted me to know that she was in a relationship blah blah blah. i was like damnnnn. this one would have been a success if she didnt have a bf. it seems like every time i get a number im able to get closer and closer to achieving success so id say my pursuit in becoming a pua is going well. this next week will most likely be pretty slow as well and i dont know how much i will be able to get out and heres why

so the job gets done november first. im not totally burned out but my mentallity has gone down a little bit. so ive got about a week an a half left of work and then ill be having some fun for the month. ive also got some new plans. so my mom hasnt been to hawaii and i felt like being a good son and decided to take her. so were going to hawaii on the 13th then when she flys home im going to island hop over to another island where my friend lives and stay for another 3 days. the whole trip is like 9 days then ill get back a couple days before thanksgiving and get everything ready for me to move and then i should be flying into seattle probablly around the 26th. and then hopefully find an apartment that week and move in and get settled down. so if everything goes right i should be playing poker in washington somewhere between the first and second week of december also ill still be persuing my pua lifestyle so i will combine the two. as far as my real job goes. it sounds like things are going to be a little slow for a while so ill be ready to go to work whenever but i dont think it would be right away. which is fine by me im really looking forward to putting some time in at the tables.

the one thing that interests me about seattle poker is that they dont spread anything lower than 2/5. they have spread games from like 2-100 and like 3-6 limit games but as far as the no limit action they only spread 2/5.
so after i left vegas this winter i was playing 2/5 for like the last 2 weeks and it went ok. going off of my roll that i had when i left vegas ill have 12.5k for a bankroll which should do nicely for 2/5 and ill be pretty comftorable with that. one thing that interests me are going to be the players. since seattle isnt a huge tourist destination and i doubt people fly to seattle to play poker. so all the players there will be regulars or residents i should say. it will be interesting though since all they spread is 2/5. any fish playing are forced to play that limit which is beneficial to me. at the same time i dont know how the action is there. i doubt that its anything mind blowing i mean i was living and playing 2/5 in the poker capital and did decent so i should be able to make a profit. the only thing that im kinda hesitant about is that ive been out of the action for 6 months. although i havnt been studying while i havnt been playing. i have been thinking about it a bit and certain scenarios and plays will come into my head so i think ill be ok. also when i start playing again it will be almost kinda like a job this time and im going to treat it really seriously. so im going to devote a bit of time to studying as well. i really learned a lot last winter from the training video sites. the only thing is that it was online play but i was still able to incorporate it into live play as well just with a few adjusments.... casions havnt been able to come up with an effctive HUD program so some things wont contribute from the videos haha. but yeah im interested in seeing how much i will average when i start playing full time so im excited for that. so yeah thats the legit of everything so far. once the job is over november should go by pretty fast and ill be in washington before i know it. im so ready to get out of alaska. anyways thats all for now cosmonauts. stay tuned

low volume- high win rate

alright so ill put it out there right away, this week was pretty slack. at the same time there was also high peaks that took place. for the most part not much has happend this week so i think ill talk about what im planning on doing for the next few months but first ill recap the week.

so yeah monday- thursday i didnt go out chasing girls cause i either had somthing to do or some other reason... i know theres a reason somwhere. to go on a side note real quick since alaska has a lot of oil production, every year based on the economy and the profit or some kind of numbers the alaska residents get a "dividend" check and it came out on the 6th this year it was 1175$ the highest it has ever been was like 1800 but average is around 1200-1500 anyways yeah free money. so i was expecting the weeknd to produce a high amount of females at the malls with all their dividend money. on friday i went out to the mall and i eventually saw three girls i wanted to talk to. they were all standing in line at an arbys in the food court. i was like man why is arbys a chick magnet. anyways the first girl went to a table full of people so i counted her out of the equation, the next 2 girls both went and sat by their selfs i was like man this is a difficult decision haha. i went with the younger chick and from the distance she actually looked pretty hot like an 8.5 the other girl was probablly a 7.5 maybe 8. so anyways i hadnt approached any girls up to that point in like a week and i actually got a little butterflies like i used to but i powered through it. i got up to the girl and opened and when she said her first words i was like FUCK. she was hot she really was... but she had a fucked up grill i mean like her teeth were stained and yeah i didnt know i cared about somones teeth that much but hers just stood out. also to state theres this pick up artist online whos coaching peoples approaches if you send them to him and he does it over youtube so i was secretly filming the interaction as well. the conversation went really well and i actually set up a date for thursday but the image of her teeth keep popping back in my head so i dont know i might be the one who actually flakes this time. so i got back to my place to watch the video and turns out that the camera was positioned so that it was pretty much just a view of her rack haha but i guess the audio is good to listen to but ill be trying to film another interaction and i think i might put it on here as well. i also went out saturday but the mall was so packed it was crazy and i didnt see any girls by there selfs to start a convo with so i ended up leaving and today im taking another lazy day

so i ended up cutting my workout routine a little short. work got a little unstable and i didnt know how my schedule was going to be and i had already missed 4 workout days in a row so i called it quits at 12.5 weeks i was really wanting to go for 16 weeks but i just wasnt sure if a was going to be able to keep the routine since work was shifting around so yeah heres the before and afters





so i didnt do any crazy workouts. in fact all my excersises were at home excersises. the last 5 weeks of my workout though i went on a pretty much fruit and veggie diet with some sandwiches thrown in there. but for the effort i put in i think the results turned out pretty decent. i will plan on getting back into a routine when i get settled in washington

now for my future plans. so i have about 3 more weeks left of the season. and we should be done right on or around november 1st. after that im pretty much just going to take it easy probablly do a lot of day game approaches as well as go out on the weeknds and try and rack up some decent results. on the 8th of november i am taking a safety class for my job and then the 10th is my birthday but i dont know what im gonna do probablly just get drunk that weeknd haha. then i need to ship my truck on the 15th to seattle. and its supposed to take 7-10 days to get there so id be without a ride for that long. so i took advantage of the free time and told my mom that i would take her to hawaii. ive been twice so far and she hasnt ever been and it would be nice to get away for a week or so. so yeah im gonna go to hawaii for a week or a little more. also i have a friend that moved there so after my mom leaves ill probablly stay for a couple more days and fly over to the island he lives on and hang out with him. then fly back up in time for thanksgiving and then by that time my truck should be in washington and ill fly down there. when i get there i should be able to find a place within a week and i plan on living close to one of the major casinos there that spreads 2/5 only a few tribal casinos are allowed to spread 2/5 with a max bet of 500 there so i want to live near the ones that do. then after i get settled in my apartment ill go talk to the company i work for and see if they got any work for me right away. if not then ill be hitting the felt pretty much full time. even if i do start work right away ill still probablly grind after work for like 4 hours or somthing. either way poker will be back in my life and i cant wait. especially now that ill be grinding 2/5. maybe i can start showing some big profits so we'll see. i also like how things are going with me trying to become a pick up artist so im still going to try and include that in my life as well... kind of a funny picture when you think about it. a young guy like me playing poker full time and is a part time pick up artist. almost sounds like a dream. or a nightnmare. havnt decided yet. anyways thats about it for now players this next week i will probablly be able to have a couple more stories and i might just go on the date with that chick just for the experience so ill recap on that as well. so untill next time cosmonauts. stay tuned

climbing the ladder of success

i turns out this last week has been a lot of mixed results. i guess i will start with that girl whos number i got from last week. ok so i ended up texteing her and shockingly!! there was no reply. i didnt want to give up there, and wanted to see if i could use this technique i learned to be able to get them to answer my texts. so i used it and she replied so i was able to start a conversation. sadly i could tell she lost interest and the convo only lasted about 10 messages and she was out of my life forever and i cried... i cried like a 10 year old girl whenever justin bieber and saleena gomez got together... yeah intense. lol. it wasnt that bad and heres why.


so monday i had some things to do so nothing happend .tuesday i ended up going to the mall and saw this cute girl at this cafe'/ coffee hall place. so i approached her. the coversation only lasted like 5 minutes because her mom ended up passing by and she had to leave. she was 6. no jk she was 20 but before she left i told her i wanted to get to know her more and got her number. so had a little success there. that was about the same time when the first chick flaked on me so i didnt feel to bad cause i just got another one lined up. wednesday i went to this strip mall area where theres a few cafe's and stores, usually that place doesnt really produce that many results but i did find a cute girl sitting by her self in a coffee shop so i started to talk to her. wow! is pretty much all i can say. she turned out to be a pretty big crazy bitch hahaha. it was like approaching a girl at a night club whos got an attitude. it was an interesting conversation though and found out that she thaught if people were together for more than 6 months than they should be considering marriage. she had some pretty drastic views. oh yeah she said she had a boyfriend. i feel bad for the guy, theres that saying that goes "dont stick your dick in crazy" and it probablly couldnt have been put better for that girl. anyways wednesday i think i just took it easy and started to talk to the girl whos number i got. she seemed pretty receptive in the pickup even though it was a short conversation so i wasnt sure how it was going to go when i contacted her. she ended up being a little wierd though and basically ended up not wanting to try to get to know me even though we did talk for a bit. sad face :( lol she did have a different personality than mine and she even said that. but i could tell that she was a troubled girl. a hot troubled girl and those girls are the ones that are pretty fun in the bedroom, so thats why i tried to contact her in the first place. anyways thursday i think i just took it easy, friday i think i went back out to the mall but no results. and to finish the week was saturday.

so i didnt go out during the day on saturday. i hit my friend up to see if he wanted to go out during the day and night and he said sure but between the time of me getting ready and going over to his house, he ended up passing out for like 4 hours and i didnt feel like trying to do day game at like 5pm. i ended up hanging out with another friend for a few hours before me and my other friend went out on the town for the night. so to start the night it was raining. which sucked but that wasnt going to stop me. we started at this first bar which was a pretty popular spot and i did a few approaches but nothing worth while. we ended up going to another bar and hung out there for most the night. at that bar i actually did probablly about 5 approaches and a few of them went pretty well but they all had their complications. so i ended up getting a girls number at that same bar about a few weeks ago, well one of the girls i approached was her friend who i didnt even remember haha. she was like so we meet agian, i was like what? - you dont remember me sreiously. --no no! i do i do i was just kidding (but i really didnt remember haha). anyways i couldnt really talk to her or her friend she was with because a lot of the stuff i was going to say she already heard from our conversation a few weeks earlier so that was a no go. i ended up approaching another girl that was pretty cute and things were going pretty smooth and i was making groung, then her drunk grenade friend comes up behind me and is like SIT DOWN! im like what. SIT DOWN your blocking my view. i was like what view. SIT THE FUCK DOWN. jesus bitch calm down haha. i told the girl i was talking to that i was going to leave cause her friend was crazy. which obviously was the grenades motive. i dont even know why cute girls have grenade friends that they go out with. unless its like there defense so they wont get hit on for the night haha. so the last set that me and my friend approach seemed pretty receptive and i think things could have went places. especially with the girl my friend was talking to. of curse though there was another road block. the girl i was talking to had a guy friend that kept like trying to talk to her, it turns out that he liked her but she didnt type scenario, either way he was 275 pounds and he was messing up my set. i still have a lot to learn about "the game" one of wich is dealing with amog's (alpha male of the group), my friend ended up having the same problem a guy came over that was the girls friend and started talking to her and basically took the conversation away from my friend so we both basically hid road blocks. i think i hit on a couple more girls but that was the legist of the night.

me and my friend were talking and he was telling me how alaska is pretty horrible at all aspects of nightlife and female selection. ive heard it before and also thaught the same thing myself. he went to college in oregon and told me that the nightlife outside of alaska is so much better for trying to run game. which im pretty sure it is.
i hate to try and sound like im making up excuses but the bars/clubs in alaska as well as the girls. really arnt the best callibur for trying to run game. which is another reason i cant wait to get to seattle. im really interested in seeing if i get decent results in a big city. so it will be interesting in comparing the 2. im pretty sure that most of my readers are poker players since this was originally a poker blog and im sorry i havnt really had any poker material for the past 4 months or so, theres just no poker scene up here but a couple more months ill be grinding 2/5 in seattle so the blog will get back on track. also im not sure if i stated this at all in the past 3 months but ive been working out pretty consistantly, and in 3 weeks i will have finished a 16 week workout routine and i will post the picture results. not like i turned into a meat head or anything but from only doing at home excersises i think i got pretty decent results.

so this might have been my last day off for a month. we might end up working nonstop untill the end of the job so i dont know if i will be going out at night on saturdays. i will keep running day game. although i havnt got any true relsults i have got a lot of results since i first started. at first it was me trying to over come approach anxiety, after that it was keeping the conversation going, next it was trying to close them or get a number, now where im at is learning how to make them not flake on me. which mostly consists of building a lot of comfort in the original conversation which im going to try and do this next week. so its step by step into success but im eventually going to get there.. i feel it. so those are my thaughts this week and i will report back again next week. untill next time cosmonauts, stay tuned ;)
