COD4
Wow.. what a magnificent single player adventure, and a superb flowing interactive almost movie. I finished a couple of days ago the SP version of Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare, as Ive played all of the previous ones also and it got rated so high that I had to take the effort to follow the sequel. May I add im not a single player type of dude actually. My notebook barely runs it, so it must be even better experience on a beefier machine but hey ive enjoyed the ride.
First I thought.. shit they are leaving the WWII genre and go to power up guns and over powering extra features, what imo (in my opinion) kinda ruins the balance... and yes they have put in all new features, like airstrike and support calls but it is very well done and its not as defeating is in many other games.
Highlights were the sniper mission and the chopper bombardment.. very well done. Its not a very long journey.. but its very much worth the ride.
Going back in with the unlocked arcade mode to tackle the highest level, for my rare R&R moments.
Little tip: when you finish the SP game.. sit and wait till the credits end.. a very nice close combat extra mission awaits!
Apparently the Multi Player version is a great gem on its own and according to my mate it has the full gameplay like old days Medal of Honors first MP maps, but I havent played it yet.. and self precautionly I prolly wont yet.. no time. Ive played only shortly on Xbox 360 Live, but c'mon these kind of games are waste on a console.. you gotta play this on the PC !!!!
There were rumors that Xbox Live was going to combine PC players online.. lol, im pretty sure I know why they havent done that yet.. PC players will FLOGG all Xbox console stick players. :P

Manager wanted
Manager wanted for a great competitor in the 6th division of the Dutch Hattrick league.
I cant look after the team ive been building up for a couple of years now.
f34Rf4cT0rY , is in a healthy condition and ready to move in any direction you want it to move in.
You will get full control of the team, and I can help you out explaining some positions, or with the start. Also I can give you all the data from the start to use in the free Hattrick tool "Hattrick Organizer".
NOTE!!
This way of giving the team a new manager is prohibited by Hattrick.org, thats why its best not to announce anything about having a new manager.
The big risk is when they find out they will lock the account and the team is lost.
Im hoping for a manager that knows how Hattrick works, and wants to use this opportunity to explore new boundries.
Pls share your interests in the comments, and I will assign the team and login to the one I think would be good most suitable.

NPL2006/04 final day
Alright, the total is published.. i'm around 207 players away of grabbing $15.000 :)
I know its a very positive way of putting that, especially my 5700 in chips isnt that much anymore seeing the list, with the contestants left.
Never the less I always do better with less :)
Wish me luck!
**** UPDATE ****
60.000 players total, 1000 finalists all over New South Wales, last top 200 final day.. an hour drive up to the event, and half an hour of total play time in the final for me :( ..
Just couldnt set my mind to play and enjoy poker.. got annoyed and walked into massive hands of my opponents.. boo !
Thats poker too..
Not a next time in a while I think..

APL Dee Why RSL 0602
Played an APL Pro Poker event last night at Dee Why RSL, $10 buy inn and had 137 players turning up.
Could hold up my game pretty good, even got Quad Jacks on a hand going in with 2.
- little poker story if you want to know what happened -
I had 30.000 in chips with 20 people left of the 140 players, called a 10k ALL-INN bet as I was high connected, but the guy hit his one over card on the river -bad luck-. Then I got the blinds past who were 6000/3000 at that time, so had with 11 ppl to go, only 11k left... I was sitting just before the button (means after me only the dealer and small blind and big blind left so 3 players), I looked Ace Queen.. TOP ranked hand, went All-Inn.. the guy next to me immediately called (dealer).. thought shit im up against pockets (pairs), and of all the hands he could have, he had AK.. (hmm AQ sits next to AK in one deal grrrr) so only the lady (queen) could save me or a far far away flush.. anyway dont count on a woman to save you in this situation, lol.
So anyway good training for this Saturdays final for the NPL, scoring 10th out of 140.
Only bad thing is the quick exit just made me miss the money again! @#$$# !!

NPL2006 s4 day 2
Ive made it to day two!
They started at several venues at once and all got 2000 in chips to start with. All venues played until the magic number that fits in 1 venue was reached.
I played in Massey Park Golf Club, and we had about 114 players rocking up.. after 3 hours of playing, what was rather quickly they called it quits, as the magic total number of all players left over several venue was reached.
I played nice and tight, lost 2 hands.. one I folded at the end and the other was against an all-inn for 600 total, so not much damage.. finally on a all inn with A2 suited, I got called by 9-j os, and the flop hit the Jack, but the River game me my Ace..pfieuw
I ended up with 5700 in chips and thats just below average, so I'm going to give it a try in the last day of these finals! I heard that the chip leader had around 30.000 in chips so thats no worries at all.
Hopefully I can play well this Saturday and grab 1st prize in the NSW finals day 2!

NPL NSW final
Just received a text-message from the National Poker League that i've qualified for the New South Wales Final again.
Normally I would have already known this, but they never updated the last weeks score and I didnt do well on that one, so had to wait till they found the time and effort to share this information!! again slack asses at NPL!
The final is again a two day event, and first day is this Saturday at Massey Park Golf Club ironically, as I had to cancel my golf day for this, and the next one when I make it through to the next day.
Hopefully I can do better this time, I mean im happy to qualify for the third consecutive season in a row, being in the top 5 of our venue but the cards are not sticking with me lately and I've had it a bit with NPL.
So another shot to win the $15.000 dollar first price, or the opportunity to go to a $1.000.000 event, first have to beat probably 800 players.
Tonight we trade our NPL night in to see what Oz Poker Tour has to offer at their Venue in Dundas.
**** UPDATE ****
Just got message from my poker buddy Nick, that the list of qualifiers is online, and watta you know I came 3rd overall just behind Nick who came 2nd !

LFS STCC License
First of all, Live For Speed published just before Xmas a very nice update patch V.
This patch for me made my controller calibrate much better, and being on a higher ping on this side of the globe a better chance of joining some European races as the lag calculation done smoother.
Many details got touched up, and also we have more functions, but the thing that stands out is the sound improvement! Very nice!
See here the list of changes: Live for Speed - Patch V
STCC
Secondly STCC (Sim Touring Car Cup), came up with three servers that host LICENSED driving.... huh?
Yea, they have developed a license structure, besides the already demo and paid license in LFS and the S1 and S2 license difference in LFS.
They have put online one Copper - Bronze license server, and one Silver and Gold server, and the event server (next post more about this) they have the Platinum server in his free time.
Not only divides this the wreckers from the racers, but also puts the racers in their leagues. They have chosen some of the normal cars for the racing progress, and you start with the easy FWD (front wheel drive) little cars to do bronze and copper and for silver and gold you get to choose a slightly bigger versions and some turbo powered RWD and FWD cars and also a 4WD (RALLY) from the LFS assorti.
Personally I really start to appreciate their car picks, as the cars mostly not even go over 200 kph, and in these cars you get more time to get your corners right and you have more time to react properly when in trouble.
Tire choice and setup becomes also allot more interesting as the pack stays closer together, and you start realizing the difference during the race more quicker. Now for me all of a sudden I start altering the camber (wheel angle) settings more then before, to suit my driving style.
The license structure is strict, and you progress slightly when finishing but the better drivers obviously progress quicker when finishing top 3 and set fast times, like fastest laps and lap records, but also the STCC server record and of course the World Records.
I progressed through the Bronze and Copper license and the cars that belong to them, and also finished my Silver license so now I am a:
I said goodbye to all the rookies and n00bs and wreckers that really piss you off with their hammer the car into the corner sideways attitude, and childish behaviors.
Now life is good.. the races are always as good as the view you had before, and now im in the gold league trying to push for platinum I realize I have to step up a notch again to gain ground, which is good tho.
The cars are new to me in this league to, and they are based on the midrange road cars, I bit more heavy to drive then the little cars before and a bit more uncontrolled in the corners, you really have to find the smooth path driving without overheating your tires to much.
With this way of progressing the races online are more and more often more intense, and the servers have a strict policy about foul play and for instance when you spin off the track you are only aloud to enter when the track is clear.
Live For Speed is:
If you have no clue what im talking about, you wouldn’t be the first.. lol
Live For Speed is IMO the best ONLINE RACING SIMULATOR out there. Its free to try the demo version (see website), and you can drive the cars im talking about for copper and bronze on one track only.
Beware when you try the demo, your in a pool with n000bs and you have to be lucky to get the racing experience you will get more often when you have the normal license for LFS.
The cars are based on cars out there, but LFS never bought the license so they made there own changes to them for the best if I may say so. They have created a pile of cars to choose from and it goes from the touringcars to a wide variety of open wheelers with the latest addition a licensed F1 car based on the BMW from Sauber (F1.06), and very fast GTR's. Also they have a list of very funny little cars.
There are many tracks with all their own versions also..
The biggest feature is the settings you can alter for your car, and it goes way beyond the tire brand and pressure!
LFS screenshots
Have a go.. and watch out for me.. f34Rm3 :)
WARNING: LFS is very difficult to use with keyboard only, if you have a look at the game, bare in mind the noobs and the driving if you are on the keyboard.
The best experience is with a steering wheel, but I am driving with a gamepad (Logitech Dual Action) with Z-index sticks (like the playstation controller and xbox controller). You need a device that gives you controlled power and braking, instead of plain ON or OFF.. :)

Poker Table
I've got my poker table finally !! YAY !!
The National Poker League is having a rough time at the moment, but I finally got my last seasons winner prize delivered at home.
Its a very nice and solid poker table, not cheap material and it got its own legs. To bad it has big written PartyPoker.net's ad on it as I never play there, but the rest is very nice.
We just played the last day of this season, and the slack*sses havent updated the site yet, to see if I made this seasons top 5.
I'm currently in 4th position overall again, but didnt put any score in on last day, so still having my fingers crossed if I didnt got passed on the last day.
Normally they are very quick updating the results, but its the last one of this season so they have to screw this up too.
NPL is making a lot of mistakes, and are in a battle with one of their former employer, as he started his own tour (OzPokerTour).
I wont trouble you with all the things NPL was doing wrong before, but now they are in a battle over venues, they finally opened up the marketing channel, and trying to keep their players. This is what they were lacking before (communication).
Maybe one day I will go into detail what goes wrong, but for me getting the table I had to write an angry e-mail to them, to finally stand up and delivering my hard earned prize of the season behind.
Mind you I pointed out some other issues to, but only got response on the table delivery what they have picked up on the spot and delivered within the agreed time and date! WD (well done).
I liked playing for NPL at the venue Carlingford, but things changed and it aint as fun anymore. Ive agreed with some other players that we are going to use next season to try other leagues around like Oz Poker Tours and the Australian Poker Tour etc..
Anyway, hopefully I made it again for the 3rd time in a row to reach the New South Wales final of this league, as Im due for a good game to take another shot at the 15.000$ prize, or the paid seat in a 1.000.000$ tournament. But we have to wait untill they update.. grrrrr
Ow, they put an extra chipset with this table, thats a very nice gesture actually!
Now were am I going to store this prize :)

Game Quiz
Would you like to know if you are classified as a true gamer, or just want to see what your game knowledge level is, well try this little game quiz.
In 50 quick questions you have your answer, it was good to have a run down to memory lane like that, with questions about C&C Red Alert, Wolvenstein and Counterstrike..etc I must say some others I had no clue about many guessed accidentally right!
My idea is that this quiz is more about "are you an old gamer" then are you "a gamer"
Had a score of 84% so that was pretty ok :)
Have a go, and tell me if this is about being an old gamer or just a gamer in general :)
Ps didnt used any resources like google and such during the quiz tho.. made it more fun.

Good Start
Good start of 2007, not a great one but a good one... im talking about poker and golf today.
golf
First of all my golf is getting better, and took out first prize for the 3rd time in a row now. Handicap is down to 22, and i just have to get it to 18 within the next two months (my own set goal). Scored solid points on my second go at Long Reef (iseek golf link) and the last time Mona Vale (iseek golf link), and today played the massive goat track at Northbridge (iseek golf link), and won again. Putting is getting heaps better (had 5 one puts this round, rest two puts and one 3 put), and trying to play a bit more controlled now instead of reaching big distances, even then im long enough.. so why should I push. Challenge now is the stuff ups... too many wasted shots on the card. Have to stay focused.. I had two wipes this day and 3 wipes the other week (wipe is no Stableford score a hole, Par = 3 points mostly for me at this stage, Bogey is 2 points and double Bogey is 1 points on most of the holes)Still playing with default small driver and old putter, and very happy with it.
Wayne let me try a great Titleist driver the other day, with a firm graphite shaft, that belonged to one of the trainee - pro's at Turramurra GC, and that was a better performance than my big driver, but so far im better of staying with little default one, just to print in some proper muscle memory for my swing. But when the time is there, I would love to handle one of those babies! Hooyah
Next week we play at Muirfield Golf Course, Ive never been there so thats going to be a big test to keep my progress up.
poker
As stated in previous poker message, i was getting second a bit to much lately and even Nick, he starts to call it the "Per disease", coming second.. grr.
Well last week on Thursday we had a fantastic poker night playing for the Australian Poker League instead of the National Poker league we usually play for. We didnt do good in the main event, but after the main event they start little "sit and go's", and Nick came second :) in his one, and I came first in my one.. hahaha.
Finally cards start to connect when i have to, I mean many many times in the past, i went in the battle knowing I was ahead, and always lost.
Now I even got very lucky on the last two cards when I apparently was not ahead going in, and in heads up mode I get the upper hand with my play style.
This was at a new venue in Castle Hill where Chris, Nick and I caught up for a little chat, dinner and a bit of poker.
Funny part was that Nick was talking about a little system he played if he played roulette, and I said I used to play a little system too.. both not fancy very simple ones, so after poker we tried to combine the two simple systems, and we invested 10 bucks each. Surprisingly when my system failed his system backed up, and visa versa.. but the double whammy came when we both hit. After 20 minutes of play we reached the hundred bucks and split it. It was more good fun then it was real gambling actually, if you are getting scared reading this... dont worry Im not really interested in those games.
Any way it was a great night out catching up with the guys, and playing one of our hobbies and making some money aside.
Im not playing online that much lately, I tend to just have one in a couple of days or even a week.. but I played the other day a poker tournament and won that also, so looking forward to the next chapter of this season it looks promising.
world premiere
As im typing this im also preparing a "world premiere" if im quick enough.., im very excited about this.... and it has to do with the band May I was telling about earlier on my blog, the story attached to it is even as great as the premiere, so hopefully I finish my piece on that one quickly... so pls stay tuned, this is going to be good!!.Posted by Per at 10:40 PM | Comments (0) | TrackBack

PokerPer
Also the weekly final that hosts 150 players on friday evening, and top 7 gets paid with first price 1500$ then second 750 and so on.. i tried now 4 times, but no luck at all.. every time just after the 1st break I come in a do or die situation that turns to the latter. U need a couple of breaks to advance in the game.. when they dont come or hit, the blinds (compulsory bets) kill you. I do like the type of play that ppl do.. its way more reserved and not so many cowboys calling gutshots.
So last monday came second again... #$%%###@$l !!! get a second syndrome here.
So I can try again, hopefully I can play a bit now.. but then again, if it aint going well im gonna throw in the towel very soon, as the day after hit off for golf at 5.58 AM.. whut? yep.. 5.58 .. and I love it! Nice and cool in the early morning, and when we are finished before noon!

FF #1 VI.219
After many seasons finishing in the top, my Hattrick team f34Rf4cT0rY finally took home the #1 seat.
The finish had to be decided in the last match of this season, The Curacao Marlins our ongoing strong rival was down 1 point on the leader board, meaning a draw was enough to secure the #1 spot. Although we tried to bring home the victory with a victory the clash ended in a pointless draw, not really showing the fierce battle that had occurred.
f34Rf4cT0rY now has the opportunity to qualify for Div. V in the Dutch competition, but seeing the strength and the lack of managers time for the team it'll be wise not to promote. We'll prolly stay another season in this very competitive Div VI.219
Anyway gr8 result, finally something to hold on to..
CHAMPAGNE *PLOP*

#1 S#3 Carlingford
#1 Season #3 @ Venue Carlingford
I've made it, after starting playing poker half way during season #2 ranking top 5. I am now venue winner of season #3 at Carlingford Bowlingclub for the National Poker League.
That is 3 months playing "Texas Holdem" every monday competing against total 260 players, not all played every monday tho, would say 50-60 loyal competitors.
The venue winners get an original poker table, but i've heard that last season’s winner still is waiting for his :(
So wont get my hopes up on that one..
But I do get a seat in the final again like last time, with 15.000$ first prize or paid seat with flight and acc. in one of worlds biggest poker events like the WPT.
Let you know when it comes up!
Not bad start after a fab weekend at Indy.. will post on that one later, working on some photo's.
Here are my stats

That's poker
2nd 1500$ tournament was quickly over.
Sometimes you know it, and I must admit I used quite a bit of luck last night if it comes in volume :)
The table I joined was nice and easy, enough to survive for long.. but the cards didnt do me any good.
I was out just after the first break.. quickly cought a kebab on the way home, Ally was my supporter today.. was great evening, but to bad no good poker.
Monday night again, see if I can crank up my #2 spot at Carlingford venue leaderboard for my weekly poker for points and chipsets.. and thats it.

50 bucks
First tournament played, and finished 7th with $50 bucks prize money.
Not a big pot but oke considering I had to fight my way back with only one chip of 100 left after a big bad beat.
Raked up to 5100 in chips after 6 hands.. then the final table (last 8 players), and I was small blind, every one folded I was next to see against only one player (Big Blind), looked.. Ace 10 suited clubs. Little think, though what are the odds.. go all in will in 80% scare him out, what I hoped for!, another 10 prolly he loose when he calls me, and yes.. the final 10 to let me go down.
He called.. with Ace Jack unsuited, Arrgh.. the moment I can get the blinds back mister BB has a hand like that... against my Ace 10 suited.. one over for him with me extra a possible flush draw, only the Ace came out on the flop the rest was rubbish and no clubs.. with letting him taking the pot with a higher kicker.
~ That's poker! ~
Was a great game and the final table only shared the 1500$ with top 8 paid.. so #1 got 600$ orso..
Up to the next one..

2x1500$ !?
I still play poker every mondaynight, and now also the last 2 thursday nights.. The mondays is for National Poker League, where I got my 3rd victory a couple of months ago, and now finally climbing out of a big dip scoring last week 5th and this week 2nd.
The extra this week with the 2nd place is it was also a sattelite to another event with a 3000$ prize pot. A sattelite is saying you automaticly can play that tournament without buying in!
So this friday i play another tournament for 1500$ #1 prize.. total 3000$ prize pot, due to my 2nd place finish.. HOOYAY!
Thursdays I play a money game, 17$ buy-in and top 4 gets payed, depends on the participants.. mostly the pot is around 500$, so #1 gets 250$.. #2 +/-150$ and so on..
I've played alright those thursdays, and everytime made the final table (last 7 players), but always just lost out.. grrr that hurts! (#6 & #5 ggrrrr.. )
Anyways, this Thursday its also a 1500$ #1 finish.. dont know about the rest of the prizes.. but how funny is that the moment I get my game back I classify for 2 x 1500$ events!
Ally is going to join me this friday what would be an 150 ppl max event, I have no idea what thursday will look like.. but hope for the best:)
Like Bob Sexton from WPT says, hope All my cards be LIVE and my posts be MONSTERS!

AA:SF v2.7.0
A new update for America's Army Special Forces, v2.7.0 called "Overmatch".
FYI: America's Army is a FREE online combat game, starting with offline training before you can enter the battlefields as a soldier. When you do more training you can call yourself a special force member, and can join online missions being one.
Ive been playing this game from early beginnings, and every once a couple of months I start playing again when I have some spare time *cough*.
I use to play with like 5 or 6 friends all connected with TeamSpeak so we could talk live with one and another. Thats how you win de battle.. lol
Although America's Army SF too me still was one of the best combat games out there, many people I know wondered of to games like Call of Duty or Battlefield 1942 etc.
If you are a rampage dude, and want to run and shoot and behave like Rambo, go and play those arcade games.
If you want serious combat simulation.. tadaa.. America's Army SF.
Most of the beginner lessons offline are pretty easy, and fun todo.. as you are sometimes sitting in a real class room learning about OPFOR (opposite Forces) vehicles and weapons. But some of the Special Forces training missions are very hard or need way more time to finish.. be patient u'll be rewarded!
As we speak I am downloading @ 800kb p/s the next version 2.7.0, not braggin about the speed as thats the only time I'll get it as my provider hosts the file, and to you dutch or European ppl.. 800kb is nothing by now hey.
The features of this new version is besides some GUI changes and behaviours, new weapons but also the use of Vehicles, as the M1114 Up-Armored HMMWV (see right). This was what the game was lacking vs those arcade combat games like Battlefield etc.
Also one of the new features is that there are missions against AI players, normally you played against human players in well balanced maps, with well balanced weapon and armor supplies. Now you are dropped into a mission with your fellow human gamers, and you are facing an AI force that could be upto 5 times bigger than your squad.
Anyways.. I'll give it a go, looks very good and promising..
Read the new features here :

To me it had a little tiny bit Counterstrike idea, as in the speed of the play in the Death Matches, but doesnt come near the gameplay, only some nice graphics and entertaining maps.

Whoa, watta you know.. I've made it into the finals of last season of National Poker League, by making the fifth place overall on the Venue ranking in Carlingford. Not bad if I may say so as I only played half a season, so my one time 1st and 2 times second place finishes, and a couple of top ten was just enough to finish 5th overall :) ...
This Saturday are the FINALS already, we play with all other top 5's from Australia's New South Wales Venues.. I guess there would be around 400 - 500 players playing for the top price of 15.000 cash or a seat with flight and accommodation in a grand televised $1.000.000 poker tournament.
- Finals name list
- Finals Prizes
Please keep your fingers crossed this Saterday for me.. maybe you see me in Vegas or so after this tournament.. lol
To start the new season, i've already added a new pokerset to my list of winnings as the first day of season 3, I finished 1st again.. YEAH!
Now I play also sometimes in Dundas on Tuesday, as its more or less the same poker players, and not far from Carlingford.
Check my stats for season #3 here: NPL stats
Wish me goodluck!

Poker Per
Poker is getting bigger and bigger over here, and especcially Texas Hold'm!
As I previously posted, I was playing more and more poker online, but now there are in Australia some Poker leagues going on.
I joined the Australian Poker League and played a couple of tournaments in the nearest club.
Firstly it is so much better playing with seeing peoples faces... secondly these poker leagues are free to join and like the Australian poker league u start with $ 1000 bucks in chips, and start at a table and try to win everyone's chips..
The evening mostly has around 60 to 100 ppl.. and my first evenings I mostly came around half way.
I met a guy (Chris) on one of those nights, who I also play agains with basketball, and he told me about this other league the "National Poker League" who runs more tournaments per evening.
So we gave that one a go, as the "Australian poker league" was on a break anyway..
On our first evening I already became second in the 3rd game.. YAY.. the next week I didnt do that good, 20st just in the points.. but last week.. YAY... #1!
I won the tournament #2.. and actually won a good price.. as before becomming #2 only gave me points for the league. (lost with AK against K/9s, only the 9 came out.. grrr).
So here I was sitting again heads up against only one opponent (the current #1 actually), whom I could gently squeeze out of his chips by winning the blinds.. and then the famous words "ALL INN".. came from his side but the bet was small enough for me to "call" and take the risk. I didnt had a great hand.. but with heads up anything can happen.. I had Q 4 and the flop gave me 2 extra 4's, he got 2 pairs at the end but that isnt strong enough to beat my mirakel three of a kind :)
Every winner of a tournament gets this grand pokerset worth $140,- ! So here is mine.. lol
Now cuz my points raked up, I actually made it already in the top 5 of the location I went to.. and If I hold on a bit, and win some more I maybe can get a invite to the finals.. with big money prizes and the #1 gets 15k in cash or a paid trip to an 10.000.000 $ tournament to Vegas or where-ever.
Now ok ok ok.. this all is a bit far dreaming but hey.. this monday you will c me sitting again to crank up my score.. as u never know..!
Here are my stats
Funny how a couple of months practise online on pokerchamps etc already gave me two last table finishes with one win in real tournaments! :)
Ok.ok.. there is a bit more to it, but I will let u know later..

LFS skins & setups
I'm getting some google hits with people who are looking for setups and skins for the race simulation game Live for Speed.
The best setups for your car come from: TEAM INFERNO
Mind you that most of these setup won't last many laps races, these are World Record setups for 1 or 2 fastlaps, so if the race is longer then 5 laps alter the tyres and maybe some suspension for longer and smoother ride!
Altho team inferno also provide some skins, for skin templates or nice skins beside the already downloaded skins in your LFSs2 folder (data\skins_x), you best of going to master-skinnerz.com

Poker
Yes... I play poker ! and I play Texas Hold'm for a little while now.. and wow.. if I have a little break or I want one, this is the way to do so.. almost half the world is playing this game now, and its so fast.. and its so kewl ...YEAH!
It doesnt have to cost u a dime... really, click on my banner above, and become my affiliate with this, ive got tons of fun money to share with u and from all the poker rooms out there, I must say PokerChamps.com is the best. They have got the best tours at the moment, and they also have almost every hour a freeroll, that makes u play without paying, but if u come close to winning you can win real US $ !!
Ive almost racked up around 55 US $ in just one night of playing... so there are stacks of other tournaments I can join now... and my most fun ones are the Sit 'n Go's, u pay for example one time 2.75 $ and 9 ppl join.. u can rake up around 18 bucks to be #1 or if u land behing 3rd u rake up enough to try agian!
The free rolls are the best way to learn and also the funmoney games ofcourse... pls take this tip from me.. with the free rolls, if u are just starting only play if u have a top 10 hand.. like A-A or A-K or A what ever.,.. till A-Jack..
K-Queen or K-Jack will also work a little bit but be carefull... If u got double KK for instance hit a little bit bigger, to make the contesters amount smaller!
The tours are No Limit games.. which are the most fun game.... but to learn the game, just go for the Pot Limit games so you can learn what hands win in what situations.. just a little example, a straight doesnt often win in a 10 persons game... as most of those games will have a flush..
Just get your poker hands a bit organised here.. POKER LESSONS and learn just to fold often, and bid high when your playing the highest card.. boom your an instant winner like me ! :)
If u play funmoney on pokerchamps, you can recharge 3 x 1000 $ in an hour, which is far more than any other poker site!
Pls enjoy the game and be my affiliate, so we can play together, and I can supply u with some big fun $ !!!
Ive got a nice document if you are interested, which helped me going into the top of most freerolls! Its a blue print how to handle tournaments and it works!!!
Just let me know!

Verloren
Hmm... heel trots over afgelopen prestaties posten en dan met 0-4 verliezen in deze belangerijke match op eigen grond! Triest en hard.. Blijkbaar kunnen we niet goed spelen in de regen.. wat voorheen geen enkel probleem was.
De nummer 2 Etherium had gelijk gespeeld tegen de nummer 4, dus qua punten zijn we gelijk geeindigd, alleen op doelsaldo trek ik aan het korste eind.
Aah well, ut was een boeiend seizoen, en gelukkig zijn mijn vervangings plannen ook nog niet rond, dus zo ver alleen nog opbouwende kritiek, en boven verwachting prestaties.
Toch jammer..

Bijna kampioen !!¿¿!!
Kleine inleiding: Ik speel nu al bijna 2 jaar het online voetbalmanager spel hattrick, ben zelf niet zo'n voetbal aanhanger, maar dat maakt voor dit spel niet echt uit. Het is een nooit eindigende voetbal competitie, waar gigantisch veel mensen aan mee doen vanover de hele wereld. De competitie speelt zich af in realtime, dwz woensdagavond bijv, oefenwedstrijd en zondagavond competitie wedstrijd. Als je begint krijg je een team toegewezen, en daarvoor ga je dus je opstellingen voor klaarzetten voor die wedstrijden. Je zou de wedstijden zelfs live kunnen volgen (text) als je dat wilt.Hattrick heeft echter veel meer dan dat, het is een spel met ongekende diepte, qua spelers qualiteiten en team eigenschappen.. maar ook bijvoorbeeld de transfermarkt is een wereld opzich. Ook zijn er diverse tools te gebruiken om offline je team eigenschappen te analyseren.
Het spel is gratis maar wordt natuurlijk pas echt interessant als je supporter wordt.
Enfin, tot zo ver de kleine inleiding.. er is zoveel over te vertellen dat past niet op deze textverwerker..lol
Mijn teamnaam: f34Rf4cT0rY Team id: 147727
Zone: Western Europe
Continent: Europe
Spelend in: Nederland - Noord-Holland
Series: VI.219 Series ID: 17694
Arena: f34Rf4cT0rY Arena (147727)
Last improvement: 29-01-2005
Total capacity: 48000
Terraces: 30000
Basic seating: 12000
Seats under roof: 4800
Seats in VIP boxes: 1200
Walkthrough:
Een seizoen duurt 16 weken, en je speelt 14 wedstrijden in een Div met dus 7 andere competitie genoten. Mijn team begon in Divisie VI (waar ik nu dus in ben) en ging in 2 seizoenen naar Divisie IV, heb het daar nog 2 seizoenen uitgehouden en toen begon mijn degradatie tocht. Nederland kreeg nog vele Divisies toegedeeld en heeft nu al 51000 fanatieke deelnemers met volgens mij tot Divisie IX. Enfin ben dus weer terug beland in Div VI, wel is waar met veel meer teams als concurrentie.
Aangezien je diverse vormen kan trainen i.e. Scoren, vleugel, passen etc.. ben ik in Div IV begonnen met verdedigen trainen.. en ben daar stug mee doorgegaan ookal wordt het spelletje meestal gespeeld op het middeveld.
Mijn team is inmiddels zo gevormd, dat eindelijk.... eindelijk ik dit seizoen meestrijdt in de titel van onze VI.219 competitie.
| Team | Played | Goals | Points | |||
| 1. | f34Rf4cT0rY | 13 | 30 | - | 8 | 32 |
| 2. | Etherium | 13 | 44 | - | 13 | 31 |
| 3. | The Curacao Marlins | 13 | 43 | - | 19 | 28 |
| 4. | Makaveli f.c | 13 | 32 | - | 15 | 28 |
| 5. | FC. SEM | 13 | 14 | - | 31 | 11 |
| 6. | Schellart | 13 | 20 | - | 37 | 10 |
| 7. | The Bitchslappers | 13 | 9 | - | 55 | 6 |
| 8. | DERKS INTERNATIONAL | 13 | 15 | - | 29 | 5 |
Mijn team staat op 1 punt los van de nummer 2, en mijn laatste wedstrijd is tegen de nummer 3 "The Curacao Marlins". Deze mag ik niet verliezen of gelijkspelen om winnaar te worden met kans op promotie. Helaas heb ik in de 3 wedstrijden die ik tegen hem gespeeld heb 1 x gelijk gespeeld en 2 x verloren.
De The Curacao Marlins moeten 1 van hun grote spitsen missen, en onze pas nieuw aangetrokken middevelder zal het grote verschil zijn in tegenstelling tot de andere wedstrijden.
De huidige #2 Etherium was vorig seizoen ook al titel kandidaat, en moet tegen de huidige #4. Mijn gok is dat Etherium deze gaat winnen, en daarvoor moet mijn team doen wat we nog niet eerder hebben kunnen bewerkstelligen... WINNEN.
Het gaat dus spannend worden... Vanavond wordt de wedstrijd in mijn Arena gespeeld om 20:00uur locale tijd.
Iedereen is van harte uitgenodigd, in de pauze hebben we entertainment in de vorm van onze eigen showgirls, en na afloop is er een knallend einde seizoens feest die natuurlijk tot in de kleine uurtjes gaat lopen bij WINST!
Na 3 seizoenen van degratie en onverklaarbare verliezen, hoop ik nu toch eindelijk een positieve seizoens afsluiting te behalen!
Hoopt u even mee.. ?

AA:SF (Vanguard) (v.2.2)
De nieuwe Special Forces missies zijn uit voor Americas Army Special Forces, genaamd AA:SF (Vanguard)(v2.2). Deze uitbreiding geeft nu extra de volgende missies:
Zelf heb ik even op SF Oasis gekeken, en moet zeggen tis weer een fijne map, tis niet al te groot en heeft veel hoogte verschillen, en is absoluut geen "RUSH" map.
Voor degene die Americas Army nog niet kennen, dit is een gratis te downloaden en te spelen first person shooter, die gemaakt is door/voor het amerikaanse leger, voor trainings doeleinden. Ben je klaar met de "proppeschieter" games, waar je in 3 minuten zoveel mogelijk kills probeer te halen, en zoek je een game waar je mee moet samenwerken, dan raad ik je Americas Army zeker aan. Het enige wat je moet doen voordat je deze fantastische combat simulator mag spelen online, is de trainingen volgen. De trainingen gaan je best veel tijd kosten, maar zijn zeker de moeite waard.
Kleine tip: probeer je Marksman test boven de 35 uit 40 te halen, anders mag je de Adv. Marksman test niet doen.
Je kan uiteraard ook de Marksman test doen tot ie tevreden is (geloof 27/40), en dan kan je online al wat oefenveldjes bekijken.
Rest van de training, is gewoon doorzetten.. en zeker de moeite waard, vooral de SF trainingen. Uiteraard mag je online pas functies bekleden als je de trainingen behaald heb.
Het hele verhaal wordt in een "honor" punten systeem gegooid online, en hoe hoger je "honor", die je weer verdiend door online goed te spelen, hoe eerder je je voor bepaalde posities mag opgeven.
Je kan direct de volledig v2.2 hier downloaden, voor de mensen die de update naar 2.1 al hadden is hier ook de update naar v2.2.
