hay guys what's going on

i've decided to start putting some serious effort into grinding MSNL and getting, you know, actualy good at it

i've had some success for the last month or so but i'm still not really putting in any large number of hours or hands because i hate playing tons of tables and grinding. but i'm going to try to anyway. what are some reasonable goals over the next month (given that there's a 9-10 day stretch at TS where i'll be playing very little online)?

also, bluray IMO makes the ps3 worth it on that alone. its cheaper than any other br player and is [censored] amazing, esp if u have a 1080p tv that can fully utilize the br technology. i just got planet earth in bluray and have started watching it and it is just omgomgomgomg amazing!!

Yeah man, Planet Earth in Blu-Ray is [censored] awesome. Highlight for me has to be the Great White leaping clear out of the water with a seal in its mouth all in slo-mo. I would like to have the babies of the cameraman who shot that sequence.

i dunno why i'm pytting this here, but are there any threads in all the forums about ps3 v xbox 360? i'm going to be buying one of them soon strictly for madden, so i thought i'd ask people which is better and i figuerd there might be a somewhat informative thread on something somewhere.

WTF, you're a baller, buy both. Seriously. Xbox OWNS for any kind of online play or the arcade games. PS3 is great to have a BR player and obviously for the exclusives that will come out. I have all three, and if i had to pick JUST ONE, i'd go Xbox, fwiw.

Be sure and buy a 60 GB PS3 if you have a desire to play PS1 or PS2 games on it. The 80GB version doesn't have hardware backward compatibility, which means it will suck for old games.

+$25k in blackjack

[/ QUOTE ] I want to hear more about this?!

[/ QUOTE ]

HEK story plz.

[/ QUOTE ]

shoulda been +$37k but I dumped $12k at foxwoods earlier this month.

I went to vegas with some loot...$5k of which I was using as my "degen bankroll" aka blackjack.

Day 1:
-I've been at the hotel (TheHotel @ Mandalay) less than an hour and I hit the tables. I see a dealer all alone so I sit. 300/hand at 3 spots and rediculously tear up the first shoe. The max I was going was 400/hand. +$6k in shoe(sp?) 1. Shoe 2 was completely south from the start as dealer pulled 3 bj's in the first 5 hands. I played like 10 hands that 2nd shoe and quit +$3k.

Later on I play a quick sess starting at 300/h 3 spots again and am up/down/up/down. I have like $4k in front of me and am maybe up a grand when rwperu from 2p2 says "just go nickels." Meh, so I do. BAM BAM BAM BAM and like 30 minutes later I'm +$8.5k, $11k for the day. Good start to the trip.

Later that night a bunch of us are at Hard Rock Casino hanging out and bored as hell. My bud Rob want to go play bj or craps or w/e. So we all end up at this $15 min table/$1k max. I'm playing $400/hand 2 spots while everyone else is going the minimum lol. I start winning some and drinking more. EVERYONE else starts killing and soon the rest of the guys are going $100/hand. An hour later i'm completely bombed and going 600/hand 3 spots (smart? good strat ftw?) and am up like $5k or so. rwperu with his clairvoyant wisdom says "just go 1k." "You mean $1k, 1 spot?" "No, just go 1k's" "Like ALL THREE SPOTS???" He shrugs. I shrug. I say [censored] it. And lay down 10 stacks of black, all 3 spots. First hand i'm dealt is blackjack, double on the next one, stand on my 20 on the third. Dealer buusssssttsss. gg dealer ship the 4.5k thx. Drunk and loud as hell "that was fun let's do that again." BOOOOOOOOM I win all 3. I did like 4 more rounds of 1k/3spots after that then quit +$14.5k, $25k for the day.

So I go to cash out at the window, $18k in chips. The woman counts it all down and then places some irs form in front of me. "Sir can you just fill out this top part and sign here?" Me in plain english: "I"m not F'in signing that thing!" We bicker for a bit then I finall get my chips back and split it amongst the guys and cash it out the next day/night.

Day 2: Random bj sessions at night, +$16k

Day 3: I go downstairs alone and lose $11k. [censored] this game and tell myself i'm done forever. Period.

Day 4: Flight leaves in 3 hours. I have an hour to kill. eh, screw it. I sit down and win $10k in an hour.

Totals: +$37k

Total comps: $3700

cliff notes: blackjack pro?
