Bigniux: Back to 180s!

what has been happening?

Welcome back!

Haha, well i hope i will post some updates ♦ just been super lazy to blog.

I'll just shortly sumarize what has happened since then.

Grinded MTTs until the end of June -> moved back to 180s to rebuild my bankroll -> moved to Portugal at the end of July where i lived in pokerhouse for two months with two grinders -> got back home last week

Obv, theres a bunch of small stuff, but the post would just be way too long. I'm still at 180s, not doing as good as i'd like to but i'm still happy to grind also, most likely will start coaching soon so will be nice to have some kind of more steady income

wow, nice to see you back!
Its been about a year since my last post here too and I might make 180s blog too in a few days

EDIT: I guess we need to be friends on FB if you want to see pictures, so feel free to add me!

Soo, my bro took my GoPro to the forest for a freeride with his bike yesterday. Thought i'll make a vid out of it! And here it is for your judgement:

Feel free to leave any kind of feedback, i would definitely like to know if, in your opinion, i could have done something better!

I'm not sure why, but the video loses lots of quality after it's uploaded to Youtube, anyone has any ideas how to avoid that? Cause seeing some other videos, they look amazing.

Video editing feels like a pretty cool thing to do. I think i finally have a hobby! It's kind of like puzzle solving as you need to match up things nicely and at the same time really creative activity as you're completely free on what you gonna make out of the material you have! Gonna look for some decent video editing software(any recommendations?) as GoPro Studio is a little bit too weak for that. Anyone here has interest in video editing?

Nice, I like the video
I dont know what to add or what to do different, because Im not that creative ♦ I just watched it and it was not bad at all

Last time I did something like that was like 6-7 years ago in high school, but I dont remember even what program I used ♦

Keep them comming

Try Adobe After Effects for editing single scenes and/or adding all sort of effects, and Adobe Premier for cutting.

@sufix645: Thanks!

Thanks unshpe, i was thinking about Premiere, but gonna try After Effects as well

Yes, i'm using GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition. I definitely love it, the only cons are that LCD screen comes only as accessory for extra €99 (but you can use your smartphone as LCD screen as well, tho obv that won't work for underwater shots) and the fact that the quality is really poor in low-light conditions (you can check my YouTube Channel for more videos and you will clearly notice the difference between low-light and daylight, images are not edited in any of the vids, i only cut them)

Oh very cool. I will check the channel out.

Hows the battery? How long can it last when fully charge?

I haven't fully tested the battery out. I have Battery BacPac and with that it's about 1,5 hours i think. Depends on a bunch of things tho, whether you use wi-fi or not and in what quality you take your shots, also how long you keep it on w/o recording anything (as it get's annoying to turn it on/off everytime you need to take a shot and sometimes you might not have enough time to turn it on just to get that sick moment captured!)

Hey Bigniux,

Just added u on fb btw. Anyways, 'r u playing poker for a living? How do you see the future of 180s to "make a living" of it or a steady income? Im from Portugal as well n currently grinding 180s (playing fulltime).

Whats your SN?

Yes, i'm playing poker for a living for about two years.

I think that if you put enough work on your game, you will always be able to make decent money out of 180s. Even now when the games are really tough it's still most profitable game at those stakes.

I'm Bigniux on Stars, u?

It's just great now,started to play 3.5r and i like them a lot, mixing them with 8$ and of course looking forward to 15$ 180's.
