So Im going to ramble out some thoughts here as I try to maintain a good habit of updating this thing. Going to be a bit all over without smooth transitions but the writing should still hopefully be quality.
Still waiting on ftp reopening like everybody else but with no news at this point id have to assume that there is difficulties in negotiations between doj and ftp. A lot of people are concerned about the Tapie group offering equity in the company to those who have a ton of money on FTP which I dont think is too warranted given that Tapie is probably looking to "share the risk" on his investment in any way possible. A 2p2 thread that has an employee from ftp talking about ftp most likely not opening for another 3 months at least which kinda sucks. Guess we'll have to keep waiting this one out with fingers crossed.
Came across some sad news as well,

Same old story of someone getting hurt and nobody giving a damn to help out but only this time it involves a 2 year old. I dont think its an issue singling out china's morality but it is reflective of a lot of places in the world. It is human nature for people to expect others to take care of the situation and to carry on with their own busy lives, termed the bystander effect.... obviously a broke old woman came to help out, often seems like the people who need help the most are often the most willing to give it.
On a lighter note, picked up arkham city and that game is pretty damn sick. Been playing it a ton and beat it pretty fast. Its fun to play as catwoman and robin too, I could easily have pictured this being an amazing multiplayer type of game done in a more traditional beatem up old school style Streets of Rage like game and it'd be just as epic. Goes without saying I think you should buy this game, its a must have.
Been starting to grind out some poker now that Im done with the gaming binge, midstake games are kinda funny these days. I open up PS and I see nutsinho grinding 2/4nl and also playing with 100k in a 200/400nl deep game. But maybe thats how the games have gotten these days that there's just not enough tables running at 5/10nl+ without hopping on super long waitlists. Been seeing chewy, aaron and even a little sauce running amok on the 2/4nl games too so they obviously have never been easier :P
Bum hunting to the extreme seems to have seeped down to the 2/4nl games a bit. I was playing a 2/4nl game built around 1 fish, few mediocre regs and a couple good ones. Fish sat out and everyone insta sat out. I dont even think the table played one hand afterwards. And to top it off nobody left since they were all waiting for the fish to come back, reminiscent of what goes on frequently at 25/50nl but to see it come to that at 2/4 was pretty laughable and sad to see at the same time. Even if you are going to not play when a fish sits out, please at least not make it so obvious that you only want to play because he is so bad... play another orbit or two and it probably increases the chance that he comes back to play instead of watching everyone insta stop the second he goes for a smoke or w/e.
Thats all for now, Im going to grab some food and work on preventing my abs from deteriorating.
Stay frosty,
Jma
