Please note AAndy:

Do not bluff all in vs a big stack opponent.  Very bad idea.

I’ve just seen District 9 and wow! What a brilliant movie!

This film has got to be the movie of the year if not best movie in the last 5 years.  It’s definately one of the best sci-fi films I’ve ever seen.  I loved the whole alien/human apartheid idea, the aliens are comparable to humans in the modern day.

I can’t wait for the inevitable sequel, though I don’t think it will come out for atleast a few years because Peter Jackson and Neil Blomkamp next project will be Halo.

I’ve been too busy to update my blog due to personal issues that are still in the process of being sorted out.  I’ll still try to write maybe one or two paragraphs, here and there just to get started which will hopefully help me get more into the habit of writing more…

Woah, it’s been ages since I last posted.  I got real lazy lol.

Next post coming up will be some opinions about the state of gaming piracy that is very much prevalent today as it was back in the PS2 days, just more people are noticing it now.

I just received my RA3 Beta Test key in my email today! This is going to be so awesome, I will post up my first impressions of the beta as soon as I register a few hours of gameplay, so stay tuned…

Last night I ended up going to Chasers nightclub on Chapel st.  I wasn’t planning on going clubbing especially when I havn’t been to a club for over 3-4 months, and so when my friend bumped into me at Crown Casino and tried to convince me, I go what the heck? It’s been awhile, why not?

Needless to say, I got pretty drunk but not as much as my friends did, they got wasted bad.  Overall, it was a fun night and what especially made my night happened towards the end when these two cute chicks happen to dance right infront of me.. One of them, the cuter one went for grabs… LOL She not only grabbed my balls once.. but TWICE!  LOL…

Cheeky little girl… hehe.. If you wanted to get touchy-feely with me, all you need to do is ask… ^_- LOL

Thought I’d post this image up that I’ve done in Fireworks.

Bioware has recently released a trailer of their upcoming game “Dragon Age” at E3 2008.  This pc game is one of the most anticipated games and from what we can tell from one of their other big rpg game Mass Effect, this will be MASSIVE.

Finally, a game as dark and mature as this will be coming out soon, essentially it’s made for adults.  Too many games out these days are geared more towards teenagers and kids, thank you Bioware for even trying to develop this game, definately a breath of fresh air.

Last night I went to one of the APL(Australian Poker League) tournaments hosted at the St. Albans hotel, the pokies/TAB venue next to the trainstation.  After a long absence from the APL league(it’s been likes 6 months the last time I’ve been to one of these events), I decided to go with a friend since there was nothing else better to do…

It started well, the first hand I got dealt I flopped 2 pairs and quickly built my chip stack up which let me to sit comfortably for the rest of the tournament.  3 hours later, I got to the final table with a reasonable sized stack but after a few rounds my stack grew smaller and smaller due to the rising blinds.  I had about 6,000 in chips and the blinds were about 5,000 and 10,000, so I had to go all in but luckily I won against 2 other players and so my chip stack grew back and eventually I was chip leader.

Finally, after about 4 hours and 80 players later I was crowned tournament winner and received qualification into next months regional finals where cash prizes and qualification into the state finals can be won(I think).

I was confident going into this event but I didn’t think I would win it, this is a testament to the many hours of poker I’ve been playing online and it shows I’ve definately improved from a year ago when I was a noob.  After that being said, it’s pub poker afterall, the players are mostly made up of beginners and amatuers so this win doesn’t truly reflect on my skills as a good poker player, to truly test myself, I must enter into bigger tournaments at crown which I have done in the past, making the final table in a 650 player tournament. 

What I didn’t realise was that the APL just started a new season and apparently I had won the first tournament of season at St.Albans hotel, which put me straight up to number 1 as the venue leader.  Now I must try and defend my number 1 spot…
