Cool, I have the music to the Moonlight Sonatas as well. The 3rd movement is soooo crazy hehe

Do you try and memorise the music you learn or do you end up just reading the music every time?

@daphunk

Yeah.. I'm slow, haven't gotten that far yet :f_p:

I just end up memorizing everything. Because I don't practice very focused anymore (when I learned to play well I practiced maybe 1 hour a day focused on technique exercises and messed around a lot outside of that too, now I dont do any of that - dont need supergood technique to play what I do, creativity is more imporant).
I just check out the tab for a few bars, make sure I play it right, sit down in front of the tv or something and play it over and over.... then it usually takes a while before I feel that hey I'm sick of these bars now, I'll go check out the rest of the song... and then I learn it bit by bit like that, so it just gets drilled into my hands sort of :f_p:

@everyone else

Does anyone know what program Day[9] uses in his sc2 dailys to switch between using the camera, capturing the screen and also get picture in picture live? Maybe it's something that's standard for all webcams, but Ive never had one so..

Seriously considering the videoblogging here, but I think I would like to be able to do that :f_p:

I KNEW Gyan was gonna miss :f_biggrin: Suarez (sp?) definately did the right thing with the hands there. Now for Uruguay to win the penalties.. I had Uruguay 2-0 before the match but.. a win is fine :f_p:

Yeaaaah still the right goal difference for my 2-0 :f_biggrin: Is anyone else doing the football promo btw? Noone seems to talk about it anywhere, and I wonder if my score is good or not...
I'm at place 543 with 98 points. I thought it looks pretty good since nr 1 has 123, but then again being 543th doesnt sound very good :f_p:

btw... I ordered a webcam today :f_o: :f_o: :f_o:

The Fongie Poker Show
Episode 1

- Introducing the Fongie Poker Show and future content
- Wallpaper guy
- Soccer
- My poker routine

(contains the poker routine part)

What is this?

- My video blog... and a little more?
- Once a week
- Will contain random ramblings, and poker strategy content

I had to make it 2 parts in the end, tried to cut down to make it below 10 min but couldnt do it.

PLEASE comment on anything. Is it too long? Should I compress it into one part only? Does it sound at all promising? Is it a lame name?

Thanks for watching and commenting! :f_biggrin:

There is no reason to pot control with TPTK. You are still going to get value from worse hands and most boards villain isn't going to lead river because Fongie kept the initiative. I defiantly fold the river AJ (maybe), KQ, KT, etc.

p.s your girlfriend is hawt!

On the turn he has second pair.

Not really, because that puts me in a river spot where I don't really know what to do vs him. It might be correct to fold to a bet then on the river, but I'd rather bet the turn myself to get value from the worse hands and most often a free showdown on the river aswell.

Interesting stuff. Keep it up!

Hope you don't mind me saying that it's a little difficult to see the text in the hand (for example, I dunno how much of the pot you bet on the turn). You can increase the size of the text in Firefox using ctrl and +, so that might be helpful.

You may want to consider moving either the page or your webcam picture to the right of the screen.

But on the whole, it's coming along nicely :f_wink:

p.s. I think I noticed your gf changed costume during the video. Are you gonna give her a wardrobe budget?
