What's Your Edge
brystmar's Poker Blog
Happy new year, blog! Some of you may remember my goals from last year were:
1) Stop tilting
2) Play shorter sessions
3) Practice drums/guitar
4) Go out more
In retrospect, I failed pretty badly at most of those for the first half of the year, esp 1 & 2. I had my two biggest losing days in April/May of last year at -$43k and -$24k, respectively. And I wasn't playing 25/50 in those sessions. I really grabbed hold of myself after those days, however, and cut out the tilt. Second half of the year was much better.
Goals for 2010:
1) Continue tilt control. This will always be my #1 priority. I want to be the best at quitting (Tommy Angelo-style).
2) Work out regularly & put on some muscle. I started the year 5'10", 145-150lbs and hope to put on ~15lbs of muscle this year.
3) Learn drums for real. I'm quite good at Rock Band drums and replicating complex rhythms in general, but I've never played on a real kit before. I was fortunate enough to have a friend lend me her Gretsch drum kit a few weeks ago until she moves into a bigger place, and I started lessons this week. Having a blast, this is tons of fun!
4) Go out more! I live in downtown Austin for a reason...
More about #2: I have a super metabolism that's allowed me to eat anything I wanted for my whole life without ever gaining weight, so in order to put on weight Greg pointed me to this somewhat radical diet called GOMAD. Basically, you drink a gallon of whole milk every day in addition to your normal diet. So since I've started working out regularly, I'm gonna give this a try until until I hit 170. LOOK OUT JERSEY SHORE!
Gotta drink your milk like a baller:
Progress so far, even after throwing away two empty jugs:
That's it for now, just remember:

i seen no benifits to drinking that milk. proccessed milk like that has next to no calcium or vitaminn D in it its basicly empty calories try and get ur milk fresh from a farmer. it should be yellow in coulor and thinker than full fat milk. also best way to make sure u gain muscel weight is to do a hypertaphy style weights program focuse on 1 body part each day and do say 3 exersizes each doing 6-8 reps and doing 4 sets. on diet with fresh organic foods avoid the big name supermarkets if u can. consume lots of fish and meats right after training.
any other food stuff or exersize stuff u want to know just pm me. other than that i suggest reeding a book called ' in defense of food'
Jan 25, 10 12:11:13
just eat all the food in your house. then go to your neighbor's and eat all their food. do this every day.
it will be more enjoyable than going through the milk anyway.

My gripe with the movie is that it preached a bit too much about environmental protection and about how bad/evil the military is with its ambitions of planetary destruction. But this in no way detracted from my enjoyment while sitting in the theater last night.
...And I can't imagine not seeing it in 3D. Many 3D movies make use of the technology in a way that feels pretty gimmick-y, but with Avatar it didn't feel forced in any way. I simply forgot I was wearing the glasses for most of the feature and was able to enjoy the awesomeness that is Avatar at the IMAX. Go see it and you'll understand!
Dec 22, 09 09:04:01
Yeah +1 although I did have a dream last night that I went to see the movie again and then got there and realized 'wtf am I doing?' and walked out. That said I'm very glad I saw it once and the visuals were really stunning.
Dec 30, 09 13:46:26
Just saw it last night. Definitely worth it, plus it cost me \$6, run good?

Those of you who know me know that I'm really into beer. What began as a hobby to explore the refreshingly complex world of beer eventually morphed me into the beer geek that I am today. So when I was offered the opportunity to purchase a bottle of the 2009 batch of Sam Adams Utopias in October, I jumped at the chance.
Since I'm assuming most of you aren't familiar with Utopias, this probably doesn't sound like a big deal, but this is no ordinary beer. Firstly, it's brewed over a period of many years, combining a blend of batches and ingredients -- some of which are aged for up to 16 years in a variety of woods and casks. This is a completely different type of beer from anything that's ever been brewed: it has no perceptible carbonation, is best served at room temperature, and this year's batch has an alcoholic content of 27%. It's the strongest fermented beverage ever created, but dwelling its high ABV as the key point of this beer would be a tremendous misjudgement.
What makes this "extreme" beverage even more special is its rarity. Utopias is only released every two years in very limited quantities (only 53 barrels were bottled this year), and even still it's typically not something you can drive to the liquor store and pick up off the shelf; I had to pre-order my 25oz bottle over a month in advance. And due to retarded trans-state alcohol laws, this was the first time Utopias was even made available in Texas...the liquor store where I purchased mine only received 12 bottles total!
The bottle it comes in is made of ceramic, is branded with a unique serial number on the base, and is shaped like the bronze brewing vessels you see at large breweries. True to form, one side has sliding metal "doors" which reveal a picture of Sam Adams himself. Overall, the packaging is super sweet::
The tri-fold booklet explains the qualities and history of this "extreme beer" to those lesser informed about its uniqueness. It also contains a code redeemable for a complimentary custom-engraved Utopias crystal glass created specifically for this beer by world-renowned glassmaker Georg Riedel. That arrived today, here's what it looks like:
So how does it taste? I'm actually waiting to open it until after Christmas so my brother (also a beer geek) can enjoy this truly unique experience with me, so you'll likely have to wait until part 2 in January to hear my review of this beer. In the meantime, you can read reviews by some fellow beer geeks on Beer Advocate.
I'm sooooo looking forward to opening up this beast!
Dec 4, 09 18:57:05
Brewdog makes a beer called Tactical Nuclear Penguin that's 32% ABV
Dec 5, 09 22:26:15
the dreadnaught im drinking now seems much less interesting...nice brag, i couldnt find a way to rationalize spending over \$150 for it, enjoy.
Dec 6, 09 22:30:59
what other beers do you recommend ? My favorite would have to be Franziskaner,
Dec 12, 09 09:40:01
There are soooo many to recommend; I'd suggest checking out beeradvocate.com and looking up the top-rated overall beers as a starting point.
A few for the lazy: anything from the Van Steenberge brewery, anything Dogfish Head, Maredsous, St Bernardus Abt 12, Paulaner Hefeweizen, and honestly almost anything from Sam Adams is quite good too.
Dec 20, 09 23:00:17
Went to Sam Adams's unveiling of Utopias in the summer of 2005 after graduating from college. It is definitely the most unique beer I have ever drank. It's best served in a snifter or small glass and is great as an after dinner drink in the same way a cognac is after a large meal and desert. D

The berries apparently go bad in a few days, so today I bought a bunch of tablets from Amazon that supposedly do the same thing. They get here Thursday, so it should be an interesting weekend.
Nov 4, 09 16:55:45
I tried those once, it's pretty wild. Make sure to try it with various types of juice and Guinness. I forget what else I tried but Google is your friend.
Nov 5, 09 23:08:08
You should have a fun weekend man those things are crazy the first time you eat them. Enjoy!!!
Nov 9, 09 06:33:02
I ordered some online a while ago and its awesome. Have to try tomatoes with it.

I've got a nice suit & shirt that will work perfectly, but my problem is with the beard. His is so majestic and perfect, and mine doesn't fill in all the way. It covers all the important areas reasonably well, but it doesn't fill in nearly as fully as his does. This is likely why I don't have the female following that this guy enjoys, so I'm looking to fix that.
Fake beards usually look shitty, and I've been growing mine out for the past few days in preparation, but it isn't up to snuff with this dude's perfect beard.
UPDATE: I made the decision to go with a fake, as my current natural situation only left me looking like the 4th or 5th most interesting person in the world. And we just can't have that.
Oct 29, 09 15:01:59
grow a better beard through sheer power of will. if you cannot do this you do not deserve to impersonate the most interesting man in the world.
Oct 29, 09 21:31:43
If you really were committed to being the most interesting man in the worlds you'd pay a hollywood makeup artist to do a proper fake one.

ACL was this past weekend, and I had a bunch of friends from Chicago in town for the festivities. Greg and I acquired 3-day passes on Friday morning and met with my buddies at Zilker park for a weekend of beer & music.
The only act I even halfway cared about on Friday was Them Crooked Vultures -- a new supergroup with Dave Grohl on drums, John Paul Jones (from Zeppelin) on bass, and the guy from Kyuss & Queens of the Stone Age on guitar + vocals. Overall they sounded a lot like QOTSA, and I was pretty much unimpressed with Grohl's return to drums, but I was utterly FLOORED at John Paul Jones' performance.
I'm a very critical listener and am usually keen to picking up on cool supporting parts (like drums, bass, and rhythm guitar), but Led Zeppelin's bass lines never struck me as anything particularly special. The bass lines for most of TCV's songs were quite beautifully written and performed; also, he played two unique bass-like instruments -- one I'd never seen before. The first looked like a 6- (or maybe even 8-?!) string bass which he jammed with for a few songs. And towards the end of their set, he swapped for a seemingly 6-stringed necked instrument that he wore like a guitar but played with his left hand above the neck. He used his left fingers palm-down to hold notes while plucking with his right hand. It was kind of like a lap steel guitar but worn around his neck guitar-style; whatever it was, the guy's a badass and I've got tons of respect for him. Time to gonna go back and re-listen to those Zeppelin bass lines!
I planned on going earlier on Saturday to hang out with the guys and see some bands I wasn't too familiar with, but the weather was absolute garbage -- it rained all day -- so I stayed home until DMB took the stage. All I have to say about Dave live is that they put on the absolute best show I've ever seen anywhere; if you're a fan of good musicians who love to improvise and are all around geniuses at what they do, you can't beat Dave live. I think that even my sisters and parents, all of whom have strong musical roots, would have loved the show, even though none of them listen to (or particularly care for) most of DMB's music. I'd happily trek through the mud and rain to see these guys jam all day. Oh yeah, and Carter Beauford is my hero.
Sunday brought Pearl Jam, which most of my friends were most excited about. I'm obviously a fan of theirs, but I seem to be in the minority of fans who don't really think that Pearl Jam are at the "epic greatness" level. So many of my friends insisted that they were all phenomenal musicians and had a wide range of talents, and while this might still be true, they didn't do anything notably awesome during their 2hr set on Sunday night. I thought they were good but not great, and their level of musicianship was above average -- but no higher. Still though, you gotta respect them for how long they've been together and the amount of worldwide success they've achieved in that time. But given the choice, I'd choose to hear 30min of music from a band like DMB, Radiohead, Tool, or Porcupine Tree over 2hrs of Pearl Jam.
I've been away from poker for almost a week and am really missing it. Plans are to grind tons between now and my trip to Denver next weekend. That's it for now!
Oct 8, 09 11:04:47
John Paul Jones is sick! He was such a driving force for zep - Playing multiple instraments and doing amazing arrangements. Start w/ what is and what should never be and the lemon song and go from there. If you dig a strong bass you will get off on his skills. He was a top sought after studio musician b4 he joined zep.
Oct 8, 09 11:53:01
meh, the rain kinda killed acl this year, loved the friday/saturday lineups though!
Oct 8, 09 15:10:38
Can't agree with you more Carter is da man and DMB concerts are the best around.
Oct 9, 09 09:45:49
Couldn't agree more about DMB. Just saw them live for the first time about a month ago at an amazing natural amphitheatre. i've never seen a band with such amazing individual abilities that feed off each other so well...especially when they go off on one of their jam sessions. i could have watched them for 5 hours.

After that depressing start to my month, I've been trying to shift the focus back onto my life and the good things I have going on around me. I'm in a new city with tons of stuff to do, I live in a beautiful apartment with a spectacular view, and I have the support of a fantastic group of friends and family. What happened in previous weeks was sad, but I'm not gonna let it negatively affect my life. Enough about that.
Greg moved in last Monday, and we've been putting in a decent number of hours each day working on stuff in the apartment. It's taking me a lot longer than I expected to get this place up and running -- and it's costing a bunch more too. But that's fine with me; I honestly couldn't be happier with my current living arrangements.
On a different note, we had a strange encounter with a wild animal today. Greg and I were playing sessions at our desk when we heard a bird-like swooping noise outside our window, followed by a loud *thud*. Much to our surprise, a beautiful falcon had somehow crashed onto the balcony of our 32nd story apartment and got himself trapped out there.
The dumb bird spent a solid 20+ minutes banging its head/wings/claws against the glass enclosure that is our balcony, which allowed me to get some solid photos of it. Our balcony had this thing totally stumped regarding how to escape. We had ordered chinese delivery for dinner a bit earlier and it was running really late, so talk of falcon stew for dinner was certainly entertained but was unfortunately cut short when our buddy finally escaped. Really cool bird, though; check out the video.

That's really sweet. Thanks for posting this.
I watched a Hawk stalk a squirrel in the garden of my parent's back yard the other day. GG Squirrel.

I don't think he hurt himself; he looked fine soaring around downtown after escaping from our balcony.

This is going to be tough to write. You can stop reading now if you're looking for poker content. I really need an avenue to vent these emotions pent up inside of me, and this is going to be it.
I met Aniuta at PCA in the Bahamas this year. She was a charming, fun-loving, and somewhat quirky poker girl who always just wanted to be "one of the guys". Though never graceful, she was always the first to laugh at herself while encouraging us to join in. She was quite the character, and we shared many commonalities; for these (and a few other) reasons, we started seeing each other casually in the weeks after returning home to Illinois.
I was living in Chicago, and she was a senior at U of I about two hours south of me. Since the relationship was casual, I was up-front about the fact that I was very likely to leave Chicago at the end of the coming summer in hopes of living with another internet poker pro. She was OK with this, so we decided to continue on.
Over the summer, things got more serious. She was living in another poker house (arranged prior to us really getting together) not too far from mine in Vegas for the month of June, so we saw each other a lot. We spent lots of time together and our relationship eventually turned into a boyfriend/girlfriend scenario. All the while, though, I'd been planning on moving into a poker house in another part of the country when my lease expired in Chicago on Sept 1, so we made sure to treasure our time together before that impending date.
Sept 1 has come and gone, I moved back down to Texas to pursue my career in poker with a new poker roommate, and the relationship ended. Aniuta was obviously very saddened and broke down a few times during our final days together, but we both knew it wasn't meant to be. Unfortunately, she had fallen in love with me and although I really liked her, I simply couldn't see myself being with her for the rest of my life; we were just too similar, and I need someone who completes me more than mirrors me. She understood.
Long story short, Aniuta wrote me a very long goodbye letter on Monday night and/or Tuesday morning, then emailed it to me on a time-delay (so I'd receive it around 9pm last night) before taking her own life by oxygen deprivation. I immediately called her cell after reading the first line of the email, and her mom picked up to tell me that Aniuta was gone forever.
I've been devastated ever since; words cannot describe the gut-wrenching emotions I felt speaking to her mother and reading her goodbye letter to me. This girl fell in love with me, I broke her heart, and she killed herself. She was living at home with her parents at the time, so I'm assuming they found her. That is something I cannot imagine experiencing myself.
Aniuta swears multiple times in the letter that it wasn't my fault, blaming other issues more than anything else, but it's really hard for me to dismiss my contributions to her demise. I've been a mess since hearing of her suicide; I couldn't sleep last night and she's been on my mind ever since.
She really didn't seem like the type to do such a thing...she was always smiling and laughing the loudest. To those of you who read this entire thing, thanks for taking the time. Suicide is NEVER the answer to your problems; she and I talked about it once when it was brought up on a TV show we were watching, and we both agreed how stupid it is. She admitted her own hypocrisy but claimed it was better than the alternative, which is absolutely NOT true. TALK to the important people in life about your issues -- that's what they are there for! Sigh...
This is obviously a very difficult time for me, but it is even more so for her family. In memory of Aniuta, I'll end this depressing blog entry with one of her favorite songs: "Fantastic Place" by Marillion. RIP Aniuta, you will be missed.
Sep 9, 09 10:45:15
That's sad to hear. I knew her playing at the Horseshoe in Hammond and the Venetian in LV. I actually ran into her within the last couple weeks and she was always cordial and easy going. I'm sorry for you're loss bud.
As I've only run into her a couple times, I can't say I really knew anything about her. Its just sad to hear about this tragedy, especially when you can put a face to a name.
Sep 9, 09 11:08:03
Thomas, Super sad to hear about our loss buddy. Keep your head up, tomorrow will be a brighter day. Best of luck in getting to the bottom of everything.
-Kevin
Sep 9, 09 11:25:58
I'm so sorry to hear about this. I wondered why she wasn't posting on CR anymore. RIP and gl to you. I hope you figure everything out.
Sep 9, 09 11:26:29
I think you're better off not trying to dig too deep TBH because in her death there's no reason to learn that she wasn't who you thought she was.
Remembering her as well as possible I think is the best option
Sep 9, 09 12:28:37
my condolences for your loss. gl finding out the answers. unfortunately i had no contact with her besides a couple times on full tilt or on cardrunners so i am not of any help. RIP.
Sep 9, 09 12:31:55
Very very sorry to hear about her passing, Thomas. I agree that suicide is not the answer to deal with life's problems. I dealt with that a couple years ago when another CR member took his life when his lies and debts were exposed. I didn't know her except for her playful attitude on the forums. It sounds like from your description she was troubled, but while you may feel badly, you can reframe it to understand that you contributed to a considerable amount of her happiness in her last months. How she dealt with her issues is her responsibility, not yours. While you may have shared similarities of character, you have always struck me as a very positive, respectful, and hopeful person. Let me know if you need someone to talk to about all this.
Sep 9, 09 12:44:22
Thomas -
I am incredibly saddened by all of this and feel a great amount of pain for you. I had spoken to her on AIM frequently for a 2 or 3 month period this spring and very much enjoyed our conversations (sorry, I never knew her well enough to answer any of the things you have asked). Despite all of these apparent lies that are popping up, she seemed to be a good person at heart who was having some very difficult times. Please remember that as you effort to put together all the pieces of this incredibly sad puzzle.
-Jeff
Sep 9, 09 12:59:29
Thomas, I'm sorry to hear about this. Aniuta seemed like a very, happy girl the few times we all hung out in vegas. Wish you the best man.
-Alvin
Sep 9, 09 13:00:40
Thomas:
My sincerest sympathies are with you and your loss. I'm sure you'll grind through this and grow from this experience, however losses are always tough.
Sorry I am of no help with the questions that are left unanswered. Have using some internet search tools to track down the phone # of this "Jake" figure? I believe it is relatively easy.
Anyways, keep the head held high and maintain the positive attitude. I'm sure your support system in your life is great, so don't hesitate to rely on some friends to cheer you up.
All the best,
Alex
Sep 9, 09 13:06:33
I met her at the Wynn this summer and we shared a table for about 10 hours. She was constantly playing a word game on her iPhone and got along well with everyone at the table. She'll be missed.
Sep 9, 09 13:36:00
Thomas,
This is very sad and I'm really sorry to hear about it. I just hope you don't blame yourself, because clearly there was quite a bit more involved here.
Sep 9, 09 14:17:12
I'm sorry for your loss man, wish you the best in the route you take from here dealing with the effects of her choice
Sep 9, 09 14:23:09
This is very shocking news, I am definitely saddened and shocked to here about this. I don't know where to begin, Anuita was a cool girl, quirky for sure, but really smart and analytical, it really just doesn't add up.
Sep 9, 09 15:35:36
My condolences to you and her family. May you find peace in the good memories that you have of your friend.
Sep 9, 09 15:42:27
This is so sad and shocking. I'm so sorry about this, I really hope you guys figure out some of the missing pieces. I wish you and her family the best of luck with getting through. I know you don't know me, but here are a couple *hugs.*
Sep 9, 09 15:46:16
I'm as shocked as everyone. I also chatted with her frequently, and found her to be a delightful person.
I'm very sorry for your lose and hope you'll be smart enough to realize that there is absolutely no blame on you for HER decision.
I also agree that its better to remember her as the amazing person she was and not delve too deep into the lies and deception.
Strength my friend, and if you ever need to vent out feel free to contact me.

Sep 9, 09 19:50:50
Hi Brystmar, this is Ben if you don't already know.
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, Aniuta meant a lot to me too. I know you have a lot of mixed feelings right now but you shouldn't feel guilt for this tragic event if you are experiencing any.
I am not sure it is wise to dig further though I do understand your desire to find a reason as I share the same feelings too. I would ask you change the title of your blog though, I think it is insensitive.
Sep 9, 09 21:29:33
Thomas,
I'm incredibly sorry to hear about all this. I hope you are able to get some answers to some of your questions.
-- Pawel
Sep 9, 09 22:14:57
Tom I am so sorry for your loss. Like everyone else said: do not blame yourself for anything that has happened. Try to remember all the good times you enjoyed with her in Vegas and in Chicago. I know it doesn't seem like it at the time, but you will grow from this in time.
Schukie
Sep 10, 09 03:36:59
I am totally blown away and speechless. She was very cool and fun to be around. This hit kinda hard even for me and only met her a few times. I am sorry because it must be 1000x worse for you and her family. RIP Aniuta
Sep 10, 09 08:59:56
Thomas,
I'm very sorry for your loss. Suicide is such a painful event to deal with and leaves so many unanswered questions. I will keep you and Aniuta's family in my thoughts and prayers.
Sep 10, 09 10:17:12
This is very sad. Stay strong... keeping her close to your heart will keep her with you forever.
Sep 10, 09 10:26:51
I feel saddened at this news even though I don't know you guys, but it's only 1/100th of the sadness you feel i'm sure. So it's easy for me to say don't beat yourself up over it, can't blame yourself, but it's the truth. Try to keep that in mind, and hopefully over time your pain lessens. Just try to be aware the hardest part is right now. Also I don't think she'd want anyone to be depressed so you should try your best to honor that.
While what she did was selfish, at the same time she didn't ask to be born.
Sep 10, 09 11:45:30
I am totally shellshocked and at a loss for words. Def did not see this coming. Like others have said don't blame yourself for her actions. RIP Aniuta.
Sep 10, 09 13:31:24
wow, this is so tragically awful i don't even know what to say. i knew anuita from uiuc too, played home games with her around campus... your description of her is spot on, always smiling, always cheerful, just having fun playing cards and being another one of the guys.
can't explain how sad i am to read this, RIP anuita. :[
Sep 10, 09 14:19:24
hey thomas, i can't believe what happened. i dont even know what to say. i didnt see it coming, she seemed very happy. despite the problems she was dealing with inside, at least she had a lot of happiness in her last few months because of you. it probably meant a lot to her. hope you feel better soon.
sarvesh
Sep 10, 09 16:07:39
Sorry to hear that, I hope you do not put the blame on urself and wish you the best in feeling better.
RIP aniuta
Sep 10, 09 23:42:06
sorry for your loss. FWIW, i think your feelings now say something about how much the people close to you, matter to you. And that makes you a pretty good guy...
Sep 11, 09 09:38:49
I'm just commenting to acknowledge how powerful this post is. It would almost seem rude for me to have read and empathised with you and not acknowledge you, even though this is utterly personal and not for my (our our) benefit as readers.
I wish peace and happiness for you and her family and friends. And ofc for your lost friend.
Sep 12, 09 01:23:18
Thomas,
I am very sorry to hear the news. I did not know Aniuta personally, but she sounds like a great person. I imagine it is very difficult right now, but try to remember that you really did have nothing to do with this tragedy. People don't take actions like this over relationships - they do these things due to other underlying issues. What I am trying to say is that you are without question not to blame here. Stay strong.
Brian
Sep 13, 09 14:46:17
Thomas,
My condelences. I am sorry to hear about this tragedy. I hope you you can pull through as Im sure you will. Take care of yourself.
Sep 13, 09 21:41:38
hey Thomas,
You have my deepest sympathies. Aniuta was a super awesome person to be around in the few times I had dinner/hung out with her.
Don't beat yourself up over this. You should take the necessary amount of time to grieve and appreciate Aniuta's live and be happy that you gave her happiness in her final months.
Be strong right now, and don't blame yourself. Relationship stuff like this happens far too often for Aniuta's case. Furthermore it's not like you could have seen this coming.
My condolences and very sorry for your loss,
Clayton
Sep 14, 09 04:15:47
hey dude,
you dont know me but i have been reading your blog since you were talking about moving to austin cuz i live here. I am so sorry to hear about your loss and will keep you in my prayers. hope you feel better soon

Aniuta, my little sister had such a short but amazing life! She accomplished so much and had countless happy experiences. She travelled the world with our parents and did so much with them. She was proud of them and they will forever be proud of her.
I remember every day we had together from the day she was born. I will cherish those memories and remember her with a smile on my face. Love is stronger than death.
Until we meet again my beloved sister...
your Katya

Please come and play in a tournament on Full Tilt Poker honoring Jaconda78 this Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 4 p.m. EST. It's a \$5 + \$5 with all proceeds going to "The Miami Project" to cure paralysis. Her parents chose this charity on account of Jac's love of extreme sports and speed.
You can player search me, gypsydc, to find it and enter. Password is Jaconda. Full Tilt threw in an additional \$200 to the prize pool and is also adding \$1k to what we raise. Hope to see you there.
