There's an amazing app called Touchtunes on the iphone where you can remotely play music on a jukebox with your phone. This works with every bar in my city that has a jukebox.

I was just messing around with with the app and this opportunity came up to fuck with this guy. I started playing a song while he was picking out a song. Perfect timing. CHeck it out. I gotta do this again and make a montage of videos. I cant stop laughing.



edit:
took video down cause its lame but if i ever make a montage of moments where it's quality , ill put it back up

if you feel like messing with people get touchtunes app, its good times

Friend of a friend asked me for some advice to become a poker pro at 50nl
Here was my response. Long so don't read.


Poker response

That's all kind of a big question but I'll break it down like this

1. You absolutely should NOT quit your current job to pursue poker

Before you get the privilege to do that you need to be a proven winner for a long period of time (1 yr) at rate that you can comfortable live on

AND

You need a years expenses cashed out in your bank

It'd be crazy to rely on poker as your sole means if income if those two conditions haven't been met

If you don't it causes far too much life stress and there is a gigantic risk of ruin.  Also it leads you to do the cardinal sin for aspiring poker pros which is to CASH OUT

You should never cash out before you hit the 100nl level. It is shooting yourself in the foot. You don't make enough money yet at these levels where it's worth it. 

It's also  important to stay within your bankroll
500$ needed 25nl
1000 for 50nl 
2500 for 100nl

These are guidelines for winning players so if you're breaking even or losing then you need more

Most poker players don't respect the variance in this game but I've seen how big of a bitch it can truly be

But that said it's also important to take shots.  Even if your bankroll doesnt satisfy the requirements 

Just don't bust your roll.  Move up.  Hopefully win. If not learn from it

It's funny the diverse strategy game background that poker has. I and my peers came from Starcraft. Many came from magic the gathering. Warcraft iii  Others from chess backgammon. And now darkfall. 

Everyone seems to think the skills they've accrued from their perspective games will help transition and excel in poker.  What's true is that most gamers are really dedicated and put in hours. That's the most important skill. Putting in time and constantly trying to improve

Those games or really anything competitive,  the best way to improve is to play people better than you.  Respect the game and respect the players. This is why taking shots are important.  Even if you lose the experience is valuable

Don't get into the mentality of getting into ego wars with other regulars. Guess what. He's not a noob and he doesn't suck. If you have any edge one him it's so miniscule that variance will dictate who wins and loses

Concentrate your focus on identifying and playing weak players and that is where your profitability comes from

Getting over the hump.  When I was first moving up to 100nl and got kicked back down everysngle time .  I just couldnt so it.   I finally got so frustrated  that I bought a subscription to cardrunners. Kinda substantial investment at the time.  This wAs bAck when Cr was in it's infancy.   That catapulted me up to 200nl in no time. But having a Cr subscription was truly valuable back then because no one had it.  Now everyone has it.

So what can you do today to get ahead of the curve?  Coaching?  

The coaching market is crazy because anybody with any tech sense and basic poker knowledge can market themselves as a coach. Because of this, the coaching market is saturated with PREDATORY coaching. Where a guy can easily get testimonials, references, former students to vouch for the coach.  I cant tell you how many times I've read a coaching scam. It happens all the time and coaching is way over priced. 

To give you an idea who coaches,  I only started coaching when I started to lose.  Losing players generally coach which makes that not the best path to stardom

If not coaching, what?

Well really what it takes to be successful in video games.  Get involved in a poker community so you know whose full of shit and who isn't. Get as many poker friends as you can. Talk and think about it all the time.  Play more than that

Never play more than 6 tables before 100nl
Never cash out
And realize it won't be easy

Having been a pro for more than 2 years, the best advice I can give you is don't ever become one. Just use it as supplemental income

Okay. Math question for ya. Not sure if you can figure it out

We have bingo. Two ways to win per session.
1. Straight bingo (normal bingo)
2. Blackout (Mark all spots on the card)

We also have a lucky ball
To win the lucky ball we announce a random ball before the session starts. B3 is your lucky ball for the session. Please don't mark it at this time. Then you must bingo on that specific ball, B3 (For this imaginary session)

My question would be do you know what the odds would be to hit the lucky ball.
Then what are the odds to hit it in back to back sessions ( like what just happened today)

75 bingo numbers
2 chances per session to hit( straight and blackout)
But they have to bingo on that specific number for the lucky ball to go out
We averaged 140 bingo cards sold per session

Is that enough information to figure it out?
