may recap

ok fellers its time for the monthly recap for poker, pickup , and life. ill start with poker of course. this whole month in general was a little slack in all aspects of life because i was just starting the summer season of my job. i also didnt move into my place until the 7th of this month and didnt get internet untill i think the 9th. add that to not playing online for a little over a year and this is what the results end up as
so as you can see right when i started playing again i took a decent downswing of almost 10 buy ins (100$) before i started to readjust to online poker. i think i started playing a little tighter and things started to go a little better and then i started opening up in early position and start trying to push people around and shit went south once again. then this last week i finally got back into the grove of things and things started to come back to me and with a little luck i broke even for the month. it says like -7$ but ive earned 10$ in bonuses so im pretty much sitting even for the month. when i first started playing i really wasnt use to the software and had to figure some things out to get playing comfortably a couple sessions later i realized how tough it was going to be to multi table without hem so i got that and then from there it was just a matter of getting use to them and figuring out a routine. there are a little things here or there that i dont care for with lock poker. mainly there time bank system which is like playing the fast tables on pokerstars if they even have those still. also kinda sucked today cause i was planning on putting in another session today but they were updating their software and i couldnt login so it kinda ruined my chance to get in the black for the month. its alright though next month will be better. as it sits right now im able to multi table 10 tables and do alright. its kinda tough at times to get in that many games and it would be even more of a challange to find available games at 25nl if i were to move up. which i dont think i will this summer. so thats about all for poker now for the pickup results. again because of me moving into my place and starting my job the results are pretty low. but i did 15 approaches this month (kinda sad really) but i was able to get 3 numbers. from those numbers ive went on a date with 1 of the girls and i ended up sleeping with her. i met her at the beginning of the month and we hang out about once or twice a week and have sex every time like 3 times so things are good. shes going to end up being my summer fling so its working out. i also got a number from a girl last weekend and have been texting her this week and have a date planned for next week on maybe monday or tuesday. since it hasnt happend yet i wont mark it down but if we go on a date ill mark it for next month. she seems pretty into me so i have a feeling if things dont go bad than i might have a happy ending with her as well. these next 2 months will be the prime months for the summer and i plan on getting a lot of my results from these months. although i do have my main fling, i will still try and get another one maybe even try and handle 3. although i already feel the stress of trying to handle multiple relationships, but we'll see how it goes i still have to go out and practice. life for the month was a bit dull besides meeting that chick. i mean i started my job at the end of last month and i moved into my sick apartment but other than that it consisted of hanging out with friends a few times and yeah nothing super exciting. next month there is a concert im going to try and go to by a group called buck cherry which should be really fun. other than that im just grinding it out in life waiting for these next 5 months to go by so i can be in florida living it up. so untill next time cosmonauts stay tuned :)

a rough start with a glimmer of hope

so i dont think this post will be all that long but ill give you guys the low down on how things have been going. when we last left off i told you guys about me getting back into the online poker scene. well within that first few sessions i was down 9 buy ins. that was kinda expected in my mind. i havnt played online in a little over a year and anytime i come back from not playing poker theres usually a little bit of a downswing. well i was able to over come that and won about 8 buy ins back. after that i started playing pretty loose and playing a lot of spots where i had very little equity if any at all especially at 10nl where its mostly about getting value i also did run a little bad so combine those two things and its never good. so to make it short i lost about 7 buyins and im sitting down 8 buyins so far since ive started back up. its all good though, its kinda all coming back to me and how i used to play that would make me profitable in the games before. so this next week im sure unless variance has other plans that i will have better results. i might be able to get positive for the month but we will see.
so i have holdem manager 2 and if you guys havnt got it yet you guys are missing out. there are so many features to it. one that i noticed straight away was its auto note taking system which was sweet. unfortunitley i seriously only have like 2 hours after work to play when i do play so i havnt spent the time seriously trying to figure hem2 out yet but when i get the time i will. now for life and pickup. so pretty much same thing with life. not a whole lot is going on. ive been working everyday since i started except for one. i do have sunday and monday off though which is the reason im able to write this post. that chick that i talked about in the last post is still around. things are starting to get more solid. were like a relationship without being in a relationship which is exactly what i wanted to find. however if for some reason things got more clingy than i would have to depart that ship, besides that tonight me and her are going out on the town and i think she might bring some of her friends and than shes gonna stay the night at my place. than sunday we are gonna go to her place and "spend the day together" and shes going to cook me dinner. i guess im running good in that aspect of life. pickup has got some goods and bads to it as well. last week was just horrible for game and i didnt get any results. this weeknd went alright. yesterday i did 3 approaches all of which werent logistically perfect. one girl did stand out though. she had pink high heels and a mini skirt with a pink top and her ass basically told me that i needed to fuck her. i totally thaught she was a stripper but after talking to her i found out she was married and in the army which was crazy wierd but whatever so yeah no real results yesterday. today i just got back in from running game for about 4 hours. i did 4 approaches and i was able to get 1 number. i think this chick is into me but i have a couple of problems. the first one is that i really wasnt able to accomplish much with the conversation and pretty much only generated a lot of attraction. the second is the main thing and that is that she works in the mall. the problem with that is its like " shiting where you eat" so anytime she sees me there it my blow my cover or create some complications. i havnt texted her yet so we'll so how it goes and ill report back. oh i forgot to mention about the 15 year old that hit on me yesterday lol. i guess yesterday wasnt a total miss haha. so yeah i was walking and there was a group of like 5 teenage girls and one girl comes up to me and tells me that her friend wanted her to give her number to me and handed me a piece of paper. i looked at it and went over to the girl and talked to her for like 5 minutes i knew she was young but if she was 18 it would have been a bit different. needless to say i didnt text her. so yeah those are the highlights since the last post. maybe i can man up and make a profit in poker if not ill do what i usually do and just cry untill things go better. so untill next time cosmonauts. stay tuned :)

askillz2 is back on the virtual felt!

thats right boys and girls as of monday i have been hitting the virtual felt once again. so heres the details i decided on signing up to lock poker. it was either that or carbon and i just had an attraction to lock so i chose that one. i deposited 500$ and am playing 10nl to start things off. so heres how online poker has been going so far. on monday after i signed up and got some cash in my acount i hit the tables. i had a little bit of trouble trying to figure out the settings i wanted and found my self wishing they had easier settings like pokerstars. after that i had 2 tables up and running and i found out that even though i was paying attention to the game, i really couldnt tell what player types there were. in live play i can sit down and pretty much tell how a player plays in a few orbits just by there looks and manerisms and how they handle the game. online i had no idea even when i was paying attention. so the next day i bought holdem manager 2 which ill talk about in a little bit. after getting some stats i wanted on the hud i started to get a better feel for the game and falling back into my old rythym. the next time i played i felt i could play more tables so i ended up opening 8 tables. now is where things get a little nit picky. lock doesnt have good options for laying out your tables. i am playing on a 14inch laptop but if you tile your tables they get way too small and it turns the chips into just numbers which makes things more confusing so i started to cascade my tables. lock doesnt have an option to stack your tables so i chose to cascade. which was even more annoying cause now the buttons move down or up just a little bit every time, it was all just kinda annoying. like i said being nit picky. so i ended up deciding well its only 8 tables ill just stack them in the top left corner by myself which is a lot better and makes things easier. another issue im having is not being able to run table ninja. i think table ninja only runs for stars and party poker. but i sure do miss it now that ive used it before. when i have my tables stacked its sooo nice to be able to pop on over to the right and play it individually. now if i want to see it individually i have to drag it over which is..... you guessed it a little annoying. another thing i miss from table ninja is having it set up to auto bet size my bets. its a little tidius clicking up on the bet amount every time your isolating or raising somone. all in all though, lock poker is all that bad. 10nl is pretty damn soft from what i remember comparing it to stars. they dont have that many games running and on saturday night i think i saw 10k players online but its decent. its no pokerstars, but it will do. as far as im running right now. pretty much like shit. no need to talk about beats or anyhting just pretty much coolers left and right. im down 7 buyins in only 3k hands. one of my last hands i played was i had top set vs middle and bottom set and a guy turns quads in a 450bb pot...fun. so needless to say right now my thaugts arnt to positive about lock poker (shouldve chosen carbon) but im thinking positive and knowing it will turn around very shortly.
now for life and pick up. so i dont remember i talked about this or not in my last post. when i first got back into alaska i was running some day game and within like 10 approaches i got a few numbers but one girl ended up giving me a lot of good vibes.shes pretty cute i would say shes a 7.5
but she has a really nice body, samll C cup tits but with a reallly nice ass mmm. well i went on 2 dates with her and then we fucked. all i really have to say is i wish i wore a condom.... hahahha jk, no but seriously this girl is the wildest girl ive ever had sex with and after the first time she ended up tearing up my back with her nails. its escalated a bit and we are seeing each other semi-regularly. i told her i was leaving in 6 months and made it clear that im not going to get really serious with her but she is all game so it looks like i found a perfect summer fling. even if i wasnt leaving i wouldnt date this chick seriously. shes got a lot of baggage and trauma in her life. shes a good person just with a fucked up past. which in turn makes her wild in bed. i would say its almost like dating a stripper.
besides that i think ive done 20 or so approaches since ive been back. being back here and trying to run daygame has made me realize how horrible the selection is here. i went to the main mall yesterday for like 4 hours and only did 3 approaches and the whole mall was dead. all i thaught was "i cant wait till i move to florida". also a thing i just started doing this month was recording my results. so at the end of the month along with my poker review ill do a pick up review which will include how many approaches i did, how many numbers, i got, how many dates i got, and how many girls i had sex with. for me right now and my schedule. just an estimate. if i was able to get 2 new dates a month and slept with 1 new girl a month than i would say im doing pretty good accounting for everything. so yeah ill keep these results for this 6 months and then ill do another 6 months when i move to florida which i expect my results there to be way higher. not to much going on in the life aspect of things. just basically getting my routine down of work pickup and poker. hung out with some friends and shit like that but other than that i dont have that much time to do shit. my apartment is pretty sick though. its got all new black leather furniture. sliver and black appliances and im on the 8th floor looking over the mountains and 2 blocks away from downtown so its pretty awesome. expensive but thats kinda the trend up here. so thats about it for me. the next post ill try to include some pictures. i was deciding wether or not to put a pic of the chick im hanging with on here but i think that would be kinda exposing her and if for some reason my blog got exposed than things could be bad for me. anyways i will put some pics on here and then shots of my hem graph and stuff like that. so untill next time cosmonauts. stay tuned :)

alright buddies quite a bit has happened since my last blog post so here goes so ive been super busy since ive been back in alaska the first week was ok, i got my apartment arrangements and then i baught a cheap car about 4 days after i got here for the next few summers. after that i had a little bit of free time before my work season started up. i was staying at my friends house and he didnt have internet which is the main reason i havnt done a blog post until now. between that time and before i started working i went out and ran pickup probablly 4 or 5 times. i ended up getting 3 numbers one girl flaked, the next girl texted me for a bit before telling me she had a boyfriend so i messed that one up somwhere, but this last chick...wow. ok so this chick is wild. i dont really know where to start so i guess ill start from the begining. i was at the mall with my friend running game. which my friend is just now getting into slowly. but i saw her and a friend walking she was wearing a long dress and i could see her ass shake. pretty much all i needed. ive now upped my approach ability and im approaching 2sets now. any i approached them and started talking, the conversation went decent but it was short i got her number anyways but didnt think it would stand up. started texting her for about 3 or 4 days and then we had our first date. after we connected more i was walking her to her car where i pulled her into this alley and teased her by almost kissing her and than pulling away. later i she told me just how crazy that drove her. anyway about a week later we had our second date which was 2 days ago and things got a little bit steamier but no sex. its kinda cool cause she works night shift to so our schedules are close. well shes coming over tomorow to spend the night and yeah thats pretty much where the story will have to continue. theres a few little things i should share with you guys. so this chick is crazy lol. well shes had a lot of trauma and problems in her life and a whole bunch of bad stuff so yeah she damaged goods. now if i was looking for a girlfriend than i would stay away from this chick but the crazy ones are the most fun and thats all im looking for. ive already discussed everything with her and she seemed open to it. we do both like eachother and connect really well but i still would absoloutely not go into a deep relationship with her, thats just asking for trouble. but shes kinky, super wild, and fun so just what i was looking for. my pursuit doesnt stop there. i still want to run game because i want to keep practicing. although this girl will be my summer fling i will still try and find a couple more girls i can have fun with on occasions or one night stands or somthing. either way im nowhere close to being done. the summer has just started. which leads me to my summer schedule. so ive decided to deposit money at online poker again, im not going to do this until monday but yeah. ill probablly just deposit 500$ and grind .05/.10 and try and grind my way up. im really only doing this just to keep my mind fresh with poker for this next winter. so this is how my schedule will go mon-wed i will play online poker after work for a few hours thursday is kinda a half and half day if i want to play poker ill play, if i want to run game then i will, or if i need to do other things than i will. friday-sunday our my designated days to run game. whenever i do set up dates i am going to try and plan them from mon-thursday so that might interfere with poker a little bit. so starting this monday i will be back in full time action. on the street and on the felt. theres a lot more i want to talk about but im running late as it is so im cutting this a little short. my apartment i got is actually pretty sick, a couple blocks from the center of downtown. its a high rise and im on the 8th floor with leather furniture and silver tables so it looks spiffy. i bit more than what i wanted to spend but being downtown in a high rise and close to work with the way its furnished its ok i can settle for the price. i do have the reassured feeling that when i bring girls back to my place that it is actually a nice place so its all good. so the next 6 months will be pretty much a grind. work, poker, sleep, pickup, work rinse wash and repeat im hoping it goes by fast but so far its going smooth. i really just want to be in florida grinding 5/10 and running game in miami, man i cant wait. anyways ill have to figure out a designated blogging day and then ill be able to give more details and the juicy details. till next time cosmonauts, stay tuned :)
