Game Plan

well Its coming up to the end of February, time is flying at full speed and its CraZyYyY... Right now nothing is in full throttle, yet! but all the potential and growth is there. Unfortunately there isn't anything steady at the level i want it so i need to make plans. I have a return ticket for the end of march and i cant actually change it as its 6 months max so I'm thinking maybe popping back home for a number of reasons. And get a single ticket back. But before i do i need to get things done.

My main objective is to get everything done to a level for the Got Rice Crew stuff so we can push that. We need to get as much stuff done together while we are all still together. Pictures, videos e.t.c.

Also i have been working on different things like video intros for different projects and Mr Black may of got me a few video production jobs to bring in some money. So i have put stuff up on youtube like a portfolio. Check it out www.youtube.com/ooniqe.

If i end up going back for a bit I'm going to do what i know best and make money to come out again. I have a few solid plans so shouldn't be more then a couple of months, back in time for the macau cup.

Before we go we are entering the Macau cup well Me and Jade have to do the qualifiers but hopefully well get through, then win it!

All is good and my spirits are high as ever! If you are interested in getting any design work done aswell contact me on

Got Rice weekend madness

Well what can i say, not much didn't happen this weekend and it was full on madness. There was Death grips to nipple twists and the birth of the Got Rice most HATED hand!

It starts of with the 150 k guarantee yesterday which was Saturday. If you remember i mentioned it before, it was a 500 dollar rebuy tournament. There were about 92 runners and I sat on the table that felt like it was situated in the highest mountains of Alaska. The air con was on super cold and even though they apparently turned it down 3 times it was freezing out the whole table. i saw one guy order a cup of coffee and i ended up drinking about 9 cups to try to stay warm. I don't know if it was the cold air above our heads or the large amounts of coffee in our systems but people were doing the craziest things and lucking out. My aces were cracked by threes pre flop and i got a boat with 9's and the other guy had a boat with 10's on the turn. I had 9's another time and the flop was all 6 7 8 rainbow giving me an over pair and an open ended straight. I went all in and the other guy had 10's and they held. Also this guy went all in pre flop with 6's 3 times and won 3 times and it was against kings then aces then both at the same time, incredible.

Well anyway after the rebuy period which was 2 hours!, I took total control of my table. I built up my stack to become big stack on my table, then we were moved out of the Himalayas. I was Pretty pleased with my stack but once i reached the table i was moved too i was gobsmacked. I thought my table was crazy during the rebuy period but it was nothing compared to the table i was moved to or even the ones surrounding it. The big stack was like 6 times my stack and i now felt pretty inferior. Lucky for me the big stack was actually playing the safe game so i got to take control. I doubled my stack to around 40 000 then some guy who was a super amazing donk started trying to fight back. I first started folding to his free betting then i began to get pretty annoyed. At the point where i really just wanted to take him down before he built his stack up i got kings. I raise, he of course re raises me so i push him all in for 20 something thousand. He tanks for a bit then he says hes committed after putting 5 000 in so he calls. he turns 7 9 and of course hits 2 pairs. I am Down and i lose a little bit more when he free bet me again. But then i doubled up off him when he called my all in pre flop i have ace king and he had king 7. But after that the donkey called my raise pre flop when i had queens. Calls my half pot bet on the flop and my all in on the turn. The board is all low 10 highest and no straight or flush. He has ace 7 high. HITS an ace on the river. So at on the last 2 tables i only have 8 thousand left when i push all in with ACE QUEEN. there is 16 people left and 10 get paid. The big stack pushes his stack all in over me. I read him to have a weak ace so i hoped to break the curse. Jade and Mr black both went out at 24th and 26th and they both went out with ace queen on two different hands. But then Johnny who should have turbo folded after the big stack pushed all in said he was thinking. I was like what do you have to think about? Then he said i know I'm losing to you but i think i can win a side pot with the big stack. If this would of happened its means he risked his WHOLE Stack with 6 people left to go out, to break even after this hand. He decides to call. EEE ORRR he has ace jack!!! the big stack has ace 9. I'm ahead but then the flop gives him a jack, then i get a Queen BUT OF COURSE he gets his trip jacks!. What can you do ey? The joke is he ended up winning

Well after that we all went to eat Korean. One of Mr Blacks students sunny also came down for the night. We decided we were going to drink then go to the fashion club where i expected to do some mc stuff. We had a bottle of vodka, small bottle of coke juice and 2 bottles of beer. I hate vodka by the way. Any way we first started off playing mahjong for drinks but it was going too slow so we did black jack, baccarat, high card 5 card poker then 3 card. Sunny got a Flush and we decided if any one got a flush well all do 2 shots which was half a glass, but sunny suddenly said it was 2 glasses each lol. At this point people were already tipsy and sunny who seemed like a quiet gentle fellow started getting quite aggressive. He also rigged the 3 card poker so Mr Black had to drink the remaining vodka straight and kept topping his drink up.

Rachel then gave a coaching session and gave her best advice for tilt control which was, if they raise you when your on tilt get your magic stone ball and throw it at their face lol. After losing 2 top ups advising Mr blacks students what to do with their hands in a cash game, we thought its time to set off. Sunny made it clear Mr black would have to sexually please him if he didn't get him a , and these were hes exact words 'a bitch that night.'

All was good and i was sober enough to mc and not fall off the stage and it was a good party. But then Sunny's inner beast came out. He was acting as if something had happened and started death gripping us trying to drag us off. I tried ignoring him as i was on stage mc'ing but he was pretty strong for a little skinny guy. He also kept doing it to Jade and Mr black. It was funny as he did it to random people he thought was them as well. Rachel started getting a bit upset so i had to try and calm him down. I first asked Mr Black to sort out his student and give him a spanking or something but he just gazed into the air and smiled. Then it happened he must of triggered something and luckily it wasn't too violent but i started nipple twisting him every time he gave me the death grip. I also got him to drink more so he would relax as well. It was funny as he actually kept beating me in rock paper scissors so i had to do something. Since we were drinking out of a can and he needed to be calmed down what i did was pretend to drink each time i lost but not actually drink anything. Soon enough he was on the verge of collapse so he lost his death grip powers and tried grabbing Mr blacks genitals every so often.

Well we got home safely and tucked into bed to get some rest for today's 100 dollar rebuy madness. I finished on the bubble again losing a big hand with ace jack suited. But the pokerstars lounge was actually closing today as they are relocating to the Macao side which is a bummer, so we played a few tournaments after. They gave us till 2 AM to organise and play whatever tournaments we wanted. We played 3 more tournaments after the 100 rebuy. One was a 500 freeze out which i also bubbled in 3rd place. Then 2 more 100 rebuy full of madness tournaments. The 1st one Mr Black and Jade came first the 2nd Jade Came 1st which was cool. We ended up with Jack Nicholson Riki, Texas and the 3 of us. Was funny as just us doing a 100 rebuy the pot was over 4000 and we paid 1st and 2nd.

Also i did the stupidest thing as i was phased out from this worn out week. I wanted to raise a pot. The blinds are 25 50 and it was raised to 100 but for some reason i said raise to 80 and threw in a 100 chip which counts as a call and waisted a chance to build a pot for my aces. I think i did this because i suddenly thought i was playing a 10 20 cash game for some odd reason.

Well any way My crazy weekend has worn me out and my face and body need rest and rejuvenation. Ill upload photos and vids later so you can check out the craziness first hand!

OFF TO BED

The Headache that wouldn't go away

Man after 3 nights of not really sleeping I've got the video done to a level in time. It's going to get more work done to it, but its cool for now.

I played basketball last night and i think i always seem to get what i think is called Exercises Headaches combined with the headache i already had from no sleep and staring at a computer so long. On top of that i didn't eat as i rushed to the bball courts after the freeroll so last night i was half dead. My head was POUNDING, i had an ass cramp and it hurt to look at the screen. BUT i got it DONE! ill upload it for you to see.

When it comes to headaches i am a little girl, i get so paranoid and have always had this fear of having a tumor or some crazy shit in my brain when i get really bad migraines. It's so annoying that i get them playing basketball and after they get worse and worse and sometimes carry on to the next day. I first thought it was because i was getting sweat in my eyes but i prevented that and it still happens. I read about it last night and it says might be exercises headaches. That sucks.

I'm also not keen on pills like pain killers and stuff so I'm against using them. It's for a number of reasons, mostly because i heard it stays in your system for a long time and the more you take it the more you depend on it which makes you need bigger dosages after a while. Last night though i would of killed for a painkiller but there wasn't any around.

Mr Black suggested we take a walk. We were hoping to find comebuy open at 3 in the morning but unfortunately it was closed and we ended up at 7/11. We were queuing up and this manly looking women was next to me and SUDDENLY she shouted some crazy stuff at the cashier. And they started arguing and at that point my head felt like it was going to blow up.

So we got back home and my headache was worse. I thought id rest a little but as soon as i lay down I seriously felt like i was dying. So i gave up on taking a rest.

Any way i worked relentlessly through the early hours of which was now morning and was getting things finalised 5 minutes before i had to leave to the tournament.

My headache was still pretty bad but had calmed down a little, i had that hungry kinda sickly feeling in my stomach you, well i normally get when i don't sleep and was feeling drowsy. I got to the tournament and was a bit late but only lost a few hundred. I was experimenting and played without looking at my hands. It worked, in fact i tripled up. Then i just felt so lazy and started doing stupid stuff which lead me to losing. I should of tried to stay alert but it just didn't happen.

I have this thing about giving change, i find it gives me bad luck. When i play home games i always get bitched at for refusing to give change. But come to think of it its true. I only started playing bad and losing after i had to buy all the 25 chips for the chip raise! PROOF lol

any way I'm going to just chill and catch some early z's. I need my rest so i will be alert for the tournament tomorrow. We are entering the 150 k guarantee tournament which starts at 2 in the afternoon. Pray for some GOT RICE victory!

Frequently Asked Questions

Still designing stuff. Trying to animate a video and its a long process, by tomorrow to show people of full tilt. Its a good thing I'm used to putting myself in situations where i have to work under a lot of pressure. Just need to put all the glam together and show how we will present ourselves in the poker scene. Il upload a few more pics for you to see. I'm soooooo tired and i had this realllly BAD headache past few days. I'm always so paranoid when i have headaches.

Also congrats to Jade for wining a tourney last night on full tilt can check out her blogs at www.jadepoker.blogspot.com.


Some times people chasing a goal, especially in my type of situation have brief moments where they could have possible doubts, start to miss all their family and friends or just start to feel scared. It's normal for anyone, no matter how small, or large that goal is. And if you can answer the questions that come to mind at that moment, you are going to succeed.

What am i doing this for?

What am i doing?

Is it worth all this trouble?

Can i succeed?

But then there are questions that cant be answered

I wonder what bobs doing back home?

I wonder what mums cooking?

But when your going for gold these type of questions can wait. If you stray off too much or too long then you have to wait longer! Everyone misses something they sacrifice during their journey, but that's character building and this is how you force yourself to grow. Even someone like me has a soft spot for home I MISS MY DOG! but i just try to keep myself busy and continue being constructive so suki isn't without me for nothing. And when i get back i can get her whatever treats she likes. It's the same principle even if your around friends, you just have to miss a few nights out. If they are real friends they'll understand and once your done you can really have some fun. That's why the friends i have maybe few but are like family and it makes it even harder now im so far away. But i have all their support and that keeps me going and that's what is going to drive me to SUCCCCCEEEEEDDDDD!!!!!

Go for whatever you want and take the bull by the horns. The harder you hit the bigger the result. And don't go into war with a blunt sword! Don't rob yourself from taking a bow, you are the designer and creator of your show, and realise your the only one with the real power to destroy it. It's in YOUR HANDS!

PEacE!

Sleep is for the weak!

Well its been a crazy few sleepless nights.I managed to do the characters and an image with them for the GOT RICE crew stuff. Ill upload them so you can check it out. Sunday i actually played basketball and even though i was knackered afterwards i still worked through the night. It was also partly because i had a tournament at like 5 in the morning, it was on sapdeclub for the 5 k guarantee but i got my aces busted first hand to jack queen. Totally sucked!

I then entered a tournament for the 20 dollar freeroll but there was 580 something people so i entered for the chance to get quite a few spoy points but since it was only 20 dollar i went ALL IN first three hands. 4 6, j 4 and a 7. I won all 3 and there was at least 2 callers for each of them so i started playing properly. I managed to stay top 5 all throughout the tournament bluffing and catching a few people. BUT THEN! well there was only 29 people left and i was 3rd. I got ace king SUITED it looked so beautiful and people kept putting small stacks all in with a huge range, anything with an ace. I was going to put a small stack all in but then someone with about 3/4 of my stack raised to 10 000 i thought for a while then i pushed him All in. At the moment i thought maybe i should of just left it. But then he calls! He had a pair of 10's. I'm a bit worried but then a king comes on the flop straight away. there is also 2 clubs but i have spades. Then an ACE comes giving me two pair but its a club. I'm happy but that soon changes after i glimpse at his tens and find out HE HAS A CLUB but i think its OK, a club isn't going to come but of course IT DOES!. I'm gutted and i try to survive but i go out 19th! SO shameful i didn't make final table after staying top 5 all through out the game. And it was a long game which started between 6 and 7 in the morning i think. I even fell asleep at one point while the break was on and missed a couple of hands. The thing is i can't sit idly and do nothing even though i am 3rd that's a mistake most people do and it ends up taking longer then they thought to final table because the small stacks keep surviving and you end up final table with a small stack. BUT i probably should have left it since he had 3/4 of my stack.

Also yesterday i had the live 100 dollar rebuy at pokerstars. I actually did really well except one mistake i made. I was also lucky enough to be put on a calm table at the beginning and not a crazy rebuy table that Mr black always seems to be on ( he actually makes that happen) And i managed to bluff every single pot and dodge bullets every time. I didn't even have a rebuy and i didn't pay to enter either as i won a ticket from a free roll. I only did an add on which i didn't really have to do but everyone else did so i thought why not? so final table I start of one of the big stacks and so did Mr black. The guy who i will call the bounty hunter also made the final table with one of the big stacks but not the biggest at that point.

I call him the bounty hunter because he always wants to take out the thieves on the table and the bullies and his main targets always seem to be me and mr black for some reason. Unfortunately for him he was the only one who did a rebuy on our first table with me. well 4 rebuys all because he went all in with me when i actually hand the best hand.

So on the final table Mr black Kept trying to take out the small stacks but they kept on lucking out. So the table lasted a while and the blinds were going up mega fast. Now heres what i did wrong. At this point 3 people went out and there was 7 left. There was a girl who was super tight and there was the bounty hunter between us along with jack Nicholson and Philippe. Philippe and the tight girl were small and big blind. I needed to take their blinds. Lucky for me i got a pair of 10's. I think it was partly because every one folded to a small stacks all in which was 5000, i thought i was playing safe with only 2 people left to go out with both me and Mr black on the table, bounty hunter said he wasn't calling any of the all ins even folding ace king, because i was thinking about what i wrote last time which was just mid raise if they re raise all in you can fold and when bounty hunter said on the other table when you raise small you have a big hand so i mid raised to 6000. i then realised that was stupid because i only had 9000 left. I should of gone all in! They all would of folded. Basically Bounty hunter called! The flop was Small cards and a jack, 1 OVER! The next stupid thing was donate 3000 and of course he went all in. I folded because i figured Mr black would take everyone out. But i ended up in an all in with Mr black and The bounty hunter. I had queen 6 suited Mr black had 8's and the Bounty hunter had queen king. I Hit 2 pair so i survived but Mr black lost and the bounty hunter covered him. I was small stuck once i got in the money so i went all in with 5's which was my lucky number but i ran into kings and went out at 5th place. Not too bad i suppose Got 750 dollars which covered the Got rice crews buyings, rebuys and add ons leaving us with 50 dollars lol. But Still it was a GOT RICE victory lol. ONE MISTAKE!!!!!!!! its all it takes.

Happy Valentines

Happy valentines to all the ladies out there. It was a quiet day in for me but I'm absolutely knackered, i think i have insomnia this always happens when i keep brainstorming ideas if I'm working on projects. And when I'm asleep i feel like i haven't slept because my dreams are so intense.

I really haven't played much online poker in the last couple of weeks so my spadeclub rank has gone from 108 to 880 something which still isn't too bad since there is over 5000 people i think or more. well there is almost 6000 VIP people so there is probably a lot more altogether. This is because i been working on the designs for all of the projects I'm doing.

You saw the video i done for the Asian Poker Training now I'm trying to work on all the other stuff. I made cool business cards. I'm trying to get the image right for the GOT RICE CREW.

But for now i was just going to talk about how i think i might change my late game tournament play. I have won 3 live freerolls into the 30k guarantee at pokerstars and i bubbled every time and also came 7th in the 100k guarantee live tourney which i won a seat for in an online freeroll. These were all caused mostly from getting on to the final table with a short stack hoping the others will knock each other out.

So now I have started to experiment in the 100 rebuy madness tourneys. What i do now is accumulate chips at the beginning going into 3 or 4 way all ins with anything. People may think your a donkey but hopefully if all goes well you are a donkey with tons of chips at that point. Of course i wouldn't do this in a freezeout. This also gives you a rep for later, so if you move all in they think its always weak hands. Once you have won 4 - 6 times your original stack you can calm down. Its important you don't bleed so it doesn't mean you turn into a tight ass but just means play your button, the cut and also your blinds by stealing. But be careful don't lose your head in the madness and go all in with rubbish on the button because you don't know what the blinds have, just bet enough so if they raise you all in you can fold.This is the case if they have also got a big stack. And when there is 2 tables left its always good to keep trying to take out the small stacks with even small suited connectors and avoid playing against the bigger stacks. Hopefully at this point as well people would avoid raising your blind and just in case they do just keep pushing them all in with anything if they are small stacks. If i decide not to be too aggressive i always want to at least have 15 blinds so if i don't then i go all in whenever i can steal or there is good value.

So that's the outline of my game plan at the moment. Unfortunately the last couple of tournaments have shown i am one unlucky son of a female dog (b***h). I just kept losing flips lol. And i was always winning pre flop. I got Queens 3 times in a row kept getting jacks, Ace king SUITED you name it i lost with it lately.

Well i have been told the more you play the more the statistics get leveled out. So hopefully ill keep getting bad beats until the red dragon then win every single flip! YEAH that's the PLAN!

O i just came first in a 30 k qualifier on spadeclub Was against a good player heads up. I had like 30 or 40 thousand something chips and she had 120 thousand something i think and i managed to win. Was a fun heads up at the end. By the way my spadeclub ID is Prettyboy lol.

News Report + Funny story

So things are still moving smoothly. I have just finished the intro for the APT (Asian Poker Training) videos. I had to basically do it twice which is so long since i think I'm doing things the long way. I'm completely self taught in design which is one of my other talents. But i think i always do things lets say in a special way instead on conventional ways lol. But anyhow ill upload it so you can check it out.



Things are still looking promising in my music stuff on top of everything.



The weather has gotten nice and sunny so i was able to drag jade out for a jog. Its quite pleasant as there is a free mini track and field where we can train. Not mini like a mini golf course just not full size. Shes aiming to lose a stone in 2 weeks so no baking cookies or brownies which isn't good for me as she makes the best brownies!



Its quite cool as well in Macao as they have these outdoor gym type playgrounds everywhere, its quite funny. Although the old folk round here are more active then the young ens so they tend to hog the machines. That reminds me of a funny story.



When we used to stay at hotel royal there was a park in front of it with the gym stuff and a seating area. And it was surrounded by flower beds, Now one day we were walking back to the hotel and it was starting to get dark not completely and we saw the bushes move slightly. Next i noticed a newspaper on the floor, then i was SHOCKED! I was with jade and after the silence we burst out laughing. It was an old man squatted taking a shit!. He heard us and it startled him, as he was still in the process he almost fell into it. After we stopped laughing and got far away enough we became puzzled because about a meter more of a walk from where he was squatted was a public toilet! Well maybe he was really slow and really needed to go.



Well till next time



PEACE

It's getting Gooood

Well like i said things will always get put right if you hang in and right now that's just whats happening. It could be because of the magic balls the cat lead us to or maybe the cat we ended up buying the next day that moves by itself, but what ever it is its bringing us a lot of sweetness to our journey.

I forgot to write about the results of the 30 k game on spade club but i got in the money on that out of almost 3000 people and the night before i cashed in on a 50 k tournament on pokerstars with 2 - 3 thousand runners as well.

Jade has been doing pretty well in her tournaments and we have poker times which is the top Asian poker magazine interested in sponsoring her. They are going to put her on the front cover of their magazine in march which is really cool. Also i think all of us might be getting sponsored into charity events by being representatives for them.

Thanks to My good friend in HK who introduced me to the promoter to try and get me a job mcing after he heard what happened to me, iv'e met up with the promoter again in Macao. I also found out after doing my research that the parties they do which is banana is actually one of, or basically is the biggest party promotional team. I went to fashion club to meet him and showed him what i could do for 15 minutes for the owner of the club to see and its all good, they were happy and I'm going to definitely get work. the first one might be on 20Th of this month in fashion club so come and support me.

And to top it all off, i finally found a really good basketball court so close to my apartment and people to play with. And even though my body is aching like mad this morning i feel goooood.

So always keep your head high and stay positive and maybe buy yourself a magic ball.

Got Rice Crew Wins at Pokerstars lounge

Well we got successful results today, Jade and Mr Black came 1st and 2nd in the Sunday re buy madness.This was held at the poker stars lounge Macao which was all qualified from a free roll, so that was cool. I unfortunately went out 12th place. I had a good start but then had a really bad run and eventually was forced to go all in with jack 2. I had hope on the flop giving me 2 pairs with it, but the guy goes all in and has ace king and of course hits an ace then a king lol.

I did win this tournament last time with Mr black 2nd ill post some photos up from that day.

Today i tripled up with Jacks hitting a set at the beginning and won a few pots from bluffing. But because i was bluffing before getting queens kings and 10's i always got called pre flop with ace or king with raggedy kickers. This is normally ok except they kept hitting the over pair killing me. I also had King Jack and hit trip Jacks on the flop with an ace and a flush draw. The guy calls my massive raise and a diamond comes, I'm scared so i check but he checks. I cant believe it he called my massive raise with the ace. Knowing this I'm ready to go all in on the next card but what comes on the river?? an ACE giving him a bigger house. So he raises big, i fold showing my jack and shows me the ace i already know he has.

So after that Heel (not sure if that's the spelling) gives me the mic and asks me to mc lol I of course love the mic and away i go. I was just being my crazy self and they enjoyed it. I liked it as i got to commentate the victory of Jade and Mr black. In the end they actually said they'd split the 2nd and 3rd prize with the other guy left because we are cool and nice and we GOT RICE!. Also a little smurf came out of no where and gave me a cool pokerstars.net shirt. lol now i can be one of these guys who like to where stuff with pokerstars on it to pretend they are sponsored lol. Ill wear it a couple of times because its actually a cool shirt but after that you cheapies better sponsor me into some tournaments before i start wearing it any more lol. You ll see the potential. I also don't think they sell these ones its a special shirt !!

So after the victory we treated ourselves to some nice Korean bbq enough for 4 when there is only 3 of us and went of to buy our lucky cat. If you didn't know since our last win we decided to buy a lucky cat for our trophy cabinet each time we win a tournament or if 2 of us cash. So of we go but they suddenly don't sell them in our super market any more. So we journey on...... and on..... and on..... and on...... till we reach the venetian. We found this stone place where they have magical stones and we believed the cat led us here. So we got a magic stone of successful business and 3 balls with magic powers for each of us. I cant tell you the powers or you ll know our strength's, so hush hush. Mr black almost made us play Caribbean stud but i was like noooooo we want to stay on a high! so he said ok but then he got me agreeing when he said maybe the cat led us here to play one hand. Being really superstitious i said lets go! but then we decided nah since it was a long walk back lol.

We didn't get our cat tonight but well get it tomorrow and now i must shower before playing my 30 k tournament on spade club, ill update you on that later!
