[Debi]

Great news Fredrik!!!

 

[Pokertron3000]

From one thing to another: I don't, as first suspected, have ankylosing spondylitis which basically means that I've gone this week from thinking there was a very real risk I'd spend the last third of my life essentially crippled to finding out I probably just need to get some back exercises from a physical therapist and be good with that for a few months and I should be fine.

(While AS might seem like a long shot if you happen to know anything about it or read the wiki page, it's hereditary and my dad has it - and my back pain has been showing signs of similarities plus that I tested positive for the relevant gene - so this is not me being a hypocondriac)

So yeah, uh... Yay, me! Yay for continuing indefinitely to be able to lift and hold my son!

Good news, I have AS and its not nice, diagnosed at 18, spine fused, not the greatest feeling in the world. My father had it and he died from falling over and snap.............

Sorry for the negative part of the post its just this time of year he went and he is on my mind alot right now. On the plus your clear, enjoy your health mate, im so happy you do not need too worry about holding your son and as I have found although AS is restricting it doesnt end your life and stop you from doing everythng (I say this from Australia where I am for 2 months from this day).

Enjoy your mobility people, you will be pissed when its gone , go for walks get plenty of the ole fresh air between yer grind sessions!

Merry Christmas Cards Chat.

Sick soul read?
What do u put him on there?
Such a crappy spot though imo since he is gonna have decent equity no matter what hand he has.

 

[Johnnybmoto]

Put him on total air honestly, can't really explain it.

I mean, why the heck would he re-raise that big if he actually had a hand?

 

[Jurn8]

good news FP!

I will check to see if I can find leatherass' well dude.

Jay you still up for SNE man?

 

[Jagsti]

Jay you still up for SNE man?

Well depends on whether Mr LA answers my question in his well ...... Probably yeah I will, maybe..... possibly....depends

 

[skoldpadda]

after that, I suspect sindri will wind up grinding razz... much less painful

 

[Jagsti]

This is my dilemma:

Basically my job is rapidly deteriorating, we're getting butt f****** by the management team and they're gonna put us on the most horrendous shift pattern known to man.

So, I need a regular income, and SNE will potentially give me that coz if I get 100k vpp's/month, I'm literally guaranteed $5600ish, excluding milestone bonuses, which will increase this monthly figure substantially over the months.

Obvioulsy I have to play b/e poker or better.

Now my new shift pattern will hinder this process dramatically, which sucks big time.

So at this stage i'm gonna take it on a monthly basis and review where I'm at every month. I think with all the uncertainty, that's all I can do at this stage!

 

[Jurn8]

I see man!
Well if you have a bunch saved up then maybe sack off the job after a couple of months and grind the massive shit out of 100nl if you run bad at 200nl.

Im not really sure what to say as advice because its all personal man about your job etc but GL soft lad

 

[Jagsti]

Also, there are changes afoot with the VIP programme/points on offer so again, this could easily affect my decision. But soft lad appreciates your support!

 

[slycbnew]

I just finished a session of 10plo 6max, 4tabling, where I played 146 hands w a player running 94/93/3.5, 3bet 92%, WTSD 42%, W$SD 36%. Ended up +$5 over that stretch against him, but we were all in before the river on 10 of those hands (5 were pf).

10plo is filled w tons of multiway limped pots, which is what I'm used to right now. I'm exhausted. :vollkomme

 

[slycbnew]

Also, there are changes afoot with the VIP programme/points on offer

pray tell?

 

[Debi]

He will - he is not skipping any at all!

Really sick beat Sindri.

Sorry to hear about your job crisis Jay, I hope things turn out for the better. Keep on keeping on man, you'll get SNE if you really want it :top:

 

[Jagsti]

Not sure tbh, there to be announced on the 23rd.

Thanks for the support m8. I'm actually representing the CSI staff on the management meetings as they try to railroad us into implementing ridiculous recommendations from a review. It's hard to actually keep things diplomatic coz I feel so passionate about wots going .

 

[Jurn8]

I wonder if theres any cool christmas bonuses going to be given to us!!

 

[WVHillbilly]

Put him on total air honestly, can't really explain it.

Maybe because he thought you were the kind of guy who would stack off with bottom pair?
