Hello, my name is Steve. I play blues harmonica. I also used to play rhythm guitar and would like to get back to that. My main concern is rock and blues vocals as I am looking to start a cover band that covers Modest Mouse, old U2, The Beatles, and The Doors. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

LET'S SEE WHO CAN GET US TO SHREDDING

Lol no man that was from my bed reaching out to a vocal training site. That's when my buddy John at the shelter starts snoring loud.

I still have the apartment and might go back, I can get a studio from them come 7/17 and I have a showing for another one Saturday.

And I have only !missed one day of work from when I was in the hospital, Brother. They still love me.

Everything is fine there.

Good looking out though my man.

::highfive:

Also, about five minutes ago this beautiful woman in a dress with tats all over her body outside of a hotel stared me in the eyes for like 3 seconds straight, then got back to her texts. I don't need her name. That's a song.

Also, I forgot I ordered singing for dummies, so I can start vox there.

Also I bought two laptop cases and only need one, so if I see homeless girl around again I'll ask her if she is hungry and then she can keep bag and the food. Eat is a freeroll.

Also, MODEST MOUSE IS THE BEST BAND IN THE HISTORY OF THE FUCKING WORLD, IN CASE YOU FORGOT!!!!!!!!!

Support the stevey musical journey (definitely a better and less expensive hobby than poker), but be wary about shredding in your new studio. You will get noise complaints. Many people work from home nowadays, so even "acceptable" hours during the day can be problematic.

This isn't to say that you CAN'T play an instrument in your own spot, especially during reasonable hours. But in that one post you made it sound like you plan on getting multiple instruments and having it be a jamfest. Affordable studio will probably have paper-thin walls. We don't want more meltdowns. Jam with caution stevey.
 
I'm about $12/hr all time in poker I think, but Dave's comment is definitely understandable and I always appreciate his advice.

Nits win in the long run, if they're truly nitty and get their hours in.

The thing is, it's a shitty life, depending on a few things.

Might revisit that around 70 if I'm not married.

This is debatable.

True! I meant just playing, but yeah collecting and upgrading etc. I'm sure can get expensive in a hurry.

Stevey you keep bringing up your past win rate and that's all well and good. I believe you that you were a winning player back in the day. But you are not a profitable player in today's game.

This isn't a knock on you. Over 90% of players aren't profitable. I'm not even saying I would be. But you aren't in that 10%. Your expected value is in the negative, which means playing harmonica on any given night is better for your bankroll than playing poker is.
 
And on your point that "nits win", I agree, but they do far less in today's game. And their margin of error is much lower.

You are not a standard nit. You raise and call raises with junk hands like small pairs and random suited cards. You "call when you know you're beat". You tilt.

Old man coffee who plays nothing but QQ, KK, AA, and AK and still manages to double through the table donk every once in a while may be grinding out a small profit (but with the rake he's paying on blinds, probably not enough), but he doesn't have all the leaks in his game that you do.

Sorry to be harsh, just sharing my honest opinion! And it's okay if we agree to disagree.

Nah man I agree and as usual you're right.

My table selection/switching (chasing known fish) is super aggro which I think makes up for some of it, but you're probably right.

Yeah for sure, good table selection is definitely +EV! I mean you've logged a ton of hours and broken about even, it's not like you are hopelessly bad or anything. I'm sure you are better than most of your opponents.

But you've got to be a true crusher to overcome both the variance/luck of poker and the rake. House always wins, 9 out of 10 players lose in the long run.
 
Fukkin Rebecca, the snack buddy made an unexpected move today. She'd been ignoring me since I said I'm on a crash diet. I had never found her attractive at all, but she whispered "hey steve" in my ear as she marched by and then when I looked up out of my daze and said "hey, how are you?" She said nothing and gave me this hot slow wave with her fingers. Felt like a dominatrix or something from some weird move. Instasprung in a millisecond for like twenty minutes. If she ever wants to get on top and ride the fucking shit out of me I am ALL IN.

Meeting with Christina late afternoon or whenever she feels like it. Up since about 3:30 because of John's snoring and give him a big speech about how playing dumb when I bring it up is a poker move to make money and that I will give him $50 to see a doctor so that me and others can sleep. That's more than his girlfriend needs to fill her gas tank, because the reason he hasn't moved in with her is she has an empty gas tank. Supposedly. One more lie and I might have to pull a Thatwasepic and break a fake beer bottle over his head outside.

Went to deposit $250 on Stars to splash at PLO, $50 buy in multitabling. I was pretty good at that during peak hours. The guy at 711 was a real dick about it and wouldn't do it, but I still might use there for Amazons so I wasn't a dick back. Was successfuil depositing $250 at CVS, he was cool about it but made sure it was a legal site and sure as heck made sure those $50 bills were legit.

Note: After 711 I kicked a plastic bottle PERFECTLY from the sidewalk into the middle of the street. Rude as fuck and THAT you needed to know.

On my way home and met Mike, who is an awesome guitar player. I was in my Dark Side of The Moon shirt and I did shred. Then he started to try to teach me how to sing. Then I asked him if he's into U2 or Modest Mouse and he said maybe some other time. Oops, lol. Standard Steves. But shit, you guys know me. Rock is the fucking vent. That's how it has to go. I flipped him a $5 and told him I'll be in touch. Nothing wrong with street jams. He did have a lot of empty cheap beer cans in front of him so I don't know on that one, I'll keep him in mind. Headed to the Dollar Tree to buy notebooks for songs, jokes, tasks, etc. I think the manager recognized me from when I was on the streets and thought he was watching me. Bought five decks of cards to shuffle when I play PLO, When I get my own pad I'll play harmonica or whatever as I wait for good hands.

Bought 12 notebooks for multiple reasons. I can do all this while I work because I'm in the wrong numbers departmend and 88% of the calls are DOO DOO DOO, YOU HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER. OR something like that. I appreciate Teelas concern as always, but it absolute does not affect work, when you've been an LO for 15 years and have printed scripts in front of you. Still, I owe her a Ferrari, after the second Grammy. MAybe she'll let me set up a payment plan, I don't know. We can work it out.

Bought a cheap pair of sunglasses for the Indian tattletail because he gave me the wifi password, which I love him for NOT IN A RICKY MARTIN KIND OF WAY ROGUEJUROR. NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT!!!!

I might have a HUGH surprise regarding the rental situation, but I have it at about 8% based on my hourly wage so I'm not disclosing it yet. ONE FUCKING TIME. I am awaiting a good Zoom time from her.

Nina wants to be my music manager. I don't think she could ever be my girllfriend because she's not as amibitious as I am, but she really looks out for me and has tried to do alot so I flipped her over $100 since she's been tight on money. She can be shady. REALLY shady, not going into detail, but yeah no - I ain't getting no conspiracy charge, lol. Still thought I have backup from her from all the bodyguard in case anyone wants to fight me outside or whatever. She can make that happen. Just intimidation in case we have to get someone to snap fold, if you will.

I'll do a nice outside place for the Zoom meeting. LET'S KEEP OUT FINGERS CROSSED ON THAT.

Shit if Mark Walhbers wakes up at 3 am and does a bunch of shit, why shouldn't I?

Note - a couple years ago I hit the mic at a hood bar and everyone started calling me a rock star, then something scared me and I left, Was too drunk to remember any of it. This was after a prior night when I Was trying to write songs in a bar and some cool college dude paid $40 or something for my ride home.

MAN do I want this FUCKING RENTAL. So good in everyway.

Who's up for a hyper aggro PLO game at around 10? My name is neagranufan17, IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW.

Will probably hold off on the guitar until another place is lined up, because I keep thinking of pranks to pull on those aholes, and eventually they'll catch on, and then there come the bouncers, or whoever I feel like throwing over there. to make them, as MAc Miller said, "check their role position".

RIP MAC :bowdown:

Mike did have a little Hendrix in him and said maybe to an open Mic night. Hmm.





Time to get those blues vox goin.

Now what if. What if you start a show with great blues and transition into more and more aggressive rock and roll? Feels like maybe a Beatles move.
