Here’s some info on Deuce-7 as your starting hand!!

1. 2-7 (offsuit)

This is the worst hand to start with in Texas Hold ‘Em Poker because there are so few good options: you have no straight draw, no flush draw, and even if you wind up with a pair of 7s or a pair of 2s, you’re very unlikely to have the best hand. Of course, you’ll see some crazy flops every now and then. But just because you might see a rare 7-7-2 flop once in a blue moon doesn’t make this a good hand to play.

Deuce 7 offsuit!

Wow, just wow!

Deuce 7 offsuit

Big shout out to poker kaki @natlerrad @melvynwee

Now I can start my week (for real)

Bring it on, TUESDAY!!!

Went to play online Poker. Halved my chips on two bets. Flopped a draw twice!! one was a Club and the other was a heart  FLUSH draw. All i need was another one. Guess what? On both occasions, nada. nil. zilch. Probability wise, I was >70% chance already, but when its not going your way, it will NOT go your way.

I went back to my hometown recently and saw a job opening, just 1km from my house. Its a Singapore based events / advertising company and they’re offering decent money. There are 25 positions, so I’m guessing they’re new. Its a huge opportunity for me, interview on the 7th!

If you look through my tweets [link] I stopped at Ipoh for dinner. There was this Indian seller selling chap fan.. Indian-Chinese fusion. He had the food I liked… like Petai :) Very satisfying meal. There were 4 coffee shops side by side and 3 cybercafes, and 1 pool centre. Wah, it was like the SS15 in Subang!

Jerica Chai’s Birthday is on the 5th, :) My “public enemy numero uno” back then. Once I threatened to burn her house down (for annoying me) and her mum had the fiercest look that shocked the life out of me. Shame on you, Jerica, such a tell tale ;) lol.

Friday, lets do some crazy shit, ok? Bowling, movie… :) Bring it on!

Q: What did the Blackburn Rover fan did to his car?

A: He would park it!

[from an old friend, Azman!]

Off to KL now.

Wow. The school principal must be thinking to himself, “oh, cock!”

Finally, my favourite swear word (adopted from Captain Slow of Top Gear) is gaining some popularity, even amongst the young ones. I’m interested to see stuff that the article claims are available, like “human anatomy”, you know…

Another bad beat story this morning. I had Ace-Jack. I flopped two pairs, all in, this time is 100k, so it was really painful for me… a guy wanting progression into the Millionaire club. Looks good at the turn, but by the river, there’s 3 hearts on the board. So you know what that means lah!

MFM later! wootzah!

Flop Ace-8-9. Hmmm… this is a big table, 100k buy-in. 4 other big guns loaded, I’m first to act, or under-the-gun as they call it. Worst position, but hey, I got good cards, right?

I check. And it checked around the table!

Turn card was a Queen. Scary card. Again, out of position, I checked. No one played, 1 folded, perhaps couldn’t take the pressure!

River was 6. All different suits, so no chance of a flush draw. Someone raise all-in 4,000. Next player re-raised 50,000. I was so freaking confident I committed all my 100,000 chips all-in (Melvyn gave). Turns out my two pairs was beaten by a Set of eights. Dammit.

So depressed now. Waiting for a Pool table at Club 9, no action. Tomorrow’s a Sunday; and I plan to take time off my busy week. Every day, its eat-sleep-exam-yum cha-pool .. you know, the typical routine.

Went to Bangsar for some Chinese food. And yes, my photo stream works now. See if Maxis comes up with a better data plan, cheaper.. or else each photo will cost me RM 1? Argh..

Whoa, its mid June already. Gotta lay out my plans and schedule for the remainder of the months. If not, my life will be wasted away in nothingness. Anybody up for doing some crazy shit? Like Genting, all-in our life savings? OK lah, Penang trip it is… at a “safe” speed ok, Lukas?

See how Patrick tomorrow come back from Penang. And Jeniffer coming back from Semenyih. But there’s Salsa class at 6pm at the GYM tomorrow. And lunch, Manhattan Fish Market! Wootzah!

: X

AFAIK, that’s the emoticon for a kiss right? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… I’m over the world.

Hmm, or maybe I could inteprete it wrongly. I always get wrong signals from girls. Maybe she’s sealing her mouth so tight cuz she’s disgusted at me. Or indirectly telling me, ÿou’re rubbish; thus I have nothing to say”.

Bah, I better not over-analyse. Takes too much time and as we know, time is money.

No surprise there – Barca won. But for the bookies, it wasn’t such a happy ending because the odds were even ball. By 15 May 2009, Manchester United will mathematically be the champions of England for a second successive season.

It tickles me to see great teams such as Chelsea blaming the ref for results and decisions that don’t go their way. Chelsea claims 4 penalties, despite having Barca playing with 10 men for 20+ minutes! If you’re a true winner, you would win it by a margin, no matter how close your teams are. Lets say: 3-1?

Point is, everything is a dice roll. Poker is definately depending on your luck; but the element of skill comes when you manage to disguise your hand and give your opponents the impression your hand is weak. It is not how many pots you win, it is how MUCH you win from each pot.

Lets say we have a problem

2x + 3y =14

5x + y  = 20

Average people follow instructions

The refer to a Math book, study the method, and apply it into a problem

y = 20 – 5x

2x + 3 (20  – 5x) = 14

2x – 15x + 60 = 14

13x = 46

x = 46/13

y = 20 – 5 (46/13)

Smart people use better methods to effectively solve this problem. Now, I’m no math genius, but AFAIK, simultaneous equations can be solved using a Formula x = b^2-4ac [bla bla bla]

So one shot, use calculator / MS excel, kaw tim, found answers for X and Y

Geniuses are people who come out with new methods of solving problems

You may think that existing methods are good enough for our needs. People studying University level Applied Mathematics would think it is insufficient for complex models. So they learn more advanced shit for curves and other 3-dimension equations, for example. At this level, they are forced to think of problem solving methods. We need a starting point, yes, so we refer to existing work. At some point, they would have to deduce their own methods and formulae to use.

Same with business. There are 3 ways to approach a problem.

A conventional way; an unconventional way; and a breakthrough innovative way.

They say that, “There is a solution to every problem”. Whenever we are faced with an impossible task, it is easier to give up rather than to look for a solution. In assignments, we can be feeling totally lost and confused on how to approach the task. Our mind goes *blank* and we start to panic.

Being a good team-player and leader involves the need to be calm and collected during this phase. We need to get over the initial fear of not being able to accomplish. We also need to put ideas on the table, so that our team mates can work on and improve the methods. In a good effective team, other members will debate and disagree (if necessary) on the ideas put on the table. As an individual idea contributor, you must be man enough to accept the fact that you’re NOT always right, and other peoples ideas might be better and more effective than yours. However, you can fight back and explain why your idea is better.

The above just happened in our Student Council “pre-meeting meeting”, I noticed some people were very good at debating and giving objections to ideas. I love people who presents a different point of view. But this particular person keeps throwing problems-after-problems when someone comes up with their ideas. On his own idea, he would protect it like mad, and follow-through kaw-kaw.

This person will be someone top, maybe Director of a Company, yes because of his ability to see problems and rectify it.

But to be of someone of Steve Job’s stature, you need to be open to crazy shit, putting aside perceived “practicality” and budget constrains. Come up with a big idea; let the angel investors come up with the fundings.

GREAT ideas don’t come overnight. Lets say you receive funding from a sponsor to come up with a cure for H1N1. You got a lab and equipment, you got a big intelligent team. The objective is to improve on Tamiflu to specifically target this strain of flu. You are given 72 hours, maximum 6 days to come up with results.

An average team of Scientists / Biologist will come up with some shit similar to the existing flu medicine. Improve this and there a bit, add a little salt and pepper [in Hokkien, they say : keh yam keh tau yeu] and come up with FluAway(tm).

Smart people will take ideas from other Scientists and work out new ways to make it more effective. They call it collaboration. I call it plagiarism.

Geniuses will tell the client: EH, sorry boss. I cannot deliver within your timeframe. But as soon as I come up with something, guarantee I give the rights to you cuz you funded us.

Bottom line is, as cliche (Gail for you Arsenal fans) as it sounds, we need think out of the box. Be an innovator and trendsetter, not a laggard, not a follower. IN a related issue, do not compromise your values, ethics and standards no matter what the rewards are.

God bless your weekend :) Be fruitful, cheerful and productive!

- This is the story of Ma Baker, the meanest cat
from ol’ Chicago town

She was the meanest cat
In old Chicago town
She was the meanest cat
She really moved them down
She had no heart at all
No no no heart at all

She was the meanest cat
Oh she was really tough
She left her husband flat
He wasn’t tough enough
She took her boys along
‘cos they were mean and strong

Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – she taught her four sons
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – to handle their guns
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – she never could cry
Ma Ma Ma Ma – Ma Baker – but she knew how to die

Played Champion’s League style knockout Pool. Here are the results:

Semifinals 1 : Patrick (2) – (0) Philip

Semifinals 2 : Yang Wei (2) – (1) John

Third Placing : John (2) – (0) Philip

Grand Finals : Yang Wei (2) – (0) Patrick

Special Winner-Against-Losers

Winners YW/Pat (0) – Losers John /Pip (2)

In Summary: There were NO losers :)

Long weekend ahead. I got it all planned out so hope the execution will be flawless. No fun, just work-work-work! Another song that will make into Phailed Mix May 2009 is Shaggy – It wasn’t me!

Honey came in and she caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor

How could I forget that I had
Given her an extra key
All this time she was standing there
She never took her eyes off me

How you can grant the woman access to your villa
Trespasser and a witness while you cling to your pillow
You better watch your back before she turn into a killer
Best for you and the situation not to call the beaner
To be a true player you have to know how to play
If she say a night, convince her say a day
Never admit to a word when she say makes a claim
And you tell her baby no way

And Flo Rida – Sugar. Love the rhythm ;-)
