2010 Poker Goals

Non Poker- To accomplish the goals I want to in poker, I need to have my mind and body right. I need to get and stay in good physical shape. My goal will to be to run at least 3 miles at least 5 times a week. I need to do yoga and meditate everyday as well. Eating healthy is also a must. I need to stop eating fast and junk food. I’ve noticed that since I stopped working out and eating right, I’ve been tilting and becoming upset with poker a lot more than I had before. Hopefully making these lifestyle changes will help.

Poker- Last year was a successful one, but If I’m going to do this for a decent living, I need to take it a lot more seriously. I need to find the most profitable games and times to play and play them on a regular schedule. I also need to keep my own detailed stats of results. I am going to start the month playing Double or Nothings on Stars and FR cash games on FTP. I will play the 10s on Stars and start at 12 tabling 10NL. I hope to try out some 180 mans and MTTs eventually but to start I’m just going to play these. My bigger goals are to make platinum star every month and also make Supernova by the end of the year on Stars. I don’t really know about FTPs VIP programs so I’ll have to figure that out later. I’d really like to make 40k overall from poker, rakeback and bonuses. I made around 15k this year and I really feel like if I can put in the hours and play my A game and focus, that it can be accomplished.
Schedule
Sun DONs 11am-4pm
Wed Cash noon- 5pm DONs 8-11
Thurs Cash noon- 5pm DONs 8-11
Fri DONs 5pm-1030
Sat DONs 2pm-8pm

I'm back

Been about 3 weeks since I last posted. Since then I have 530 dollars in sng profit and about 480 in mtts. I'm really starting to get the hang of MTTs. Ive won two 180 man tourneys (which im counting as mtts) and I've come really close to final tabling some mtts with thousands of entrants. I just today downloaded table ninja, which has me motivated to start grinding DONs again. The software allows you to set hotkeys for all actions, makes sure you dont sit out, closes all of your finished tournaments and registers and keeps you at whatever your target number of tournies is. The software is amazing and is probably gonna almost double my productivity and makes sngs so much easier.

Finally a decent score

Had my first good MTT score today. Got down to 4 handed in 4 dollar limit 540 person tourney. Had a good chip lead and we chopped for equity so i got 350 when first payed 400. Played really well but had some great hands too, which is what needs to happen to win one of these. Actually I got 2nd cause we left 30 bucks to play for and I wanted to go drink so I sat out soon after we made the deal. Woulda been nice to have the outright win, but I'm out for presidents to represent me so we all know who the real winner was. Had a great sessino at the 10.8s too and with the bankroll boost it looks like ill be playing more of those. MTTs are something I need to play more of' ROI is at 140% with a decent enough sample (250 games)
Ill post my weekly stuff tomorrow. Feels good to have a score like this though and the experience of going deep will serve me well in the future.

10.8 session

I went 26 of 38 for a profit of around 90 dollars. I played pretty well but also ran really well. Im still not as comfortable playing these as I am with the 5s but Im getting closer at least. There is still such bad play at these, especially with people calling light on the bubble and putting their whole tournament on the line. People are also a little trickier and some of the things I do at the 5s arent gonna fly here. The traffic started getting pretty slow with these and so I did a 3 hour session at the 5s afterwards and although I ran like complete dogshit, I still managed a small profit. Im looking to grind the 10s for a good 5 hours tommorow and maybe get a few MTTs in.

weekly results 134/215 11.5

Ive decided to move up to the 10.8s so i did the results for the week so far. I ran pretty well at 62 percent but the sample was pretty small. My hourly was also about 5 bucks higher than average but again I think this was because of the small sample. I'm gonna start positing my 10.8 sessions like I used to do with the 5.4s.

10 session review 335/549 31.25 hourly 12.33

This set started off well but I got burnt out at the end and my session lengths started to shorten. Ive done pretty well in MTTS the last few days but Ive been running cold in the 9 mans so Im not gonnna play them for a while. Ill also decided to not blog each session> im just gonna keep track of the hours and then look up the results in PPlabs every monday. Ill still post on some session and also on MTT results.

sess 10 19/34 2.5

Shortest session Ive done in a while. I feel really burnt out on the DONs. Played decently.

sess 9 34/55 2.5

Actually went 24 hours wo playing a DON and 36 wo playing a 5.4. My 5.5 roi has come back down to earth so I think I need to get back to grinding the DONs. I was pretty rusty this set and made some calls I shouldnt have. Still played ok. Mincashed in the 30k VIP freefroll and am about to final table a 1.5 LHE MTT. Playing different tournies helps keep me fresh and my mind fresh but my DON game is suffering a little bit and I think my hourly is as well. I think a good schedule would be grinding DONs during the week and plaing MTTs and 9 mans during the weekend. Ill figure something out.

10.8 session 38/62 2.5 (changed to 5.4 rates)

I had a good set of 5.5 9 mans so i did a session of 10.8 DONs. I went 19/31 playing 2.5 hours. I was definitely out of my comfort zone. I played okay but could have played a lot better. People here played a lot tighter to start and were a lot more aggressive on the bubble. Even though I earned a decent profit, Im gonna move back down to the 5s for now. My bankroll is too small and I dont think I can play these optimally like that. I found myself watching all ins and feeling the beats a lot more than I usually do. It was a good expereince and hopefully Ill be back up there soon.

sess 7 33/59 3.5

My luck didn't carry on to this session. I was also pretty tired and made some stupid mistakes. I had one misclick, which I guess are just gonna happen with this volume of games. But what really pissed me off when when I pushed on the bubble because I didn't realize that one guy was gonna be all in the next hand. Really fucking stupid shit I never do; tilts me worse than 10 bad beats would. Aside from that I think I played really well. I've gotten really disciplined at folding hands like kk, qq and AK when i have over 3k chips and don't need to be in there. Listened to the new Jay-z album.

sess 6 55/75 4

Disgustingly good session. I'd like to say it was because of how good I was playing, which I was, but I was also running unbelievably. Was a little too agro when I first started but I cooled that and played well the rest of the time. Gonna go for a run. Might play some 5.5s before I do another set tonight. Finally got around to listening to the new coldplay album; really good.

sess 5 32/57 3.5

Was running good til the end. My lack of concentration seems to be coupled with a lack of care when I get bad beat. Hopefully I can get rid of the former while keeping the latter. I was a bit more focued this time but I did some stupid shit like misclicks and not noticing that UTG had limped in and thinking that I was just raising the blinds. Maybe its time to move up to 10s where Ive always been focused and cared about the results. Gonna cash out down to 200 and then after I get back to 400 ill try some 10s.

MTTs and 9 man 5.5s

Got the money back I lost from that bad session and then some from 5.5s and the 6 max 5.5 2k person mtt. Finished 37 but I was poised to go really deep. I had 200k chips with 40 left and raised a guy with ak. He had KJ and hit a jack on the flop and I spent about 80k tryikng to get him off of it. The very next hand I was dealt aces. I min raised because when I had done it before twice this guy two to my left had 3 bet shoved on me. He didnt and the bb who had like 300k called. Came JT4. He bet 10k i called. Blank on turn he bets 35k I call. 8 on the river 38 k i called. He shows me J8 and Im crippled. I dont know I just kept calling. I was a little scared of 2 pair on the flop and was hoping to improve. I also thought it he was just bluffing I didnt want him to stop. Maybe I should have shoved but if youre gonna with these you need to get all the chips and I think the way I played it was the best for dong that. Two days in a row Ive gone deep in that tourney and the time before I took 7th. Really good format for me.

sess 4 23/52 3

One of the worst sessions Ive had in months. Played like shit and ran like shit. I never really felt like I was totally focused and concentrating. Possibly because Ive been doing so well lately and dont have that same drive to win or possibly Im just starting to get burned out from 8 hour days. Whichever it is, its something I need to get fixed. Got the mouse fixed just took the ball out and cleaned the rollers with a qtip. About as blue collar hands on fixit as I get.

sess 3 26\45 3

Had to end this one early because my mouse kept sticking. Really annoying and really hard on my wrist and arm. Started off running really good and hot but cooled off near the end Finished 40 of 2000 in a 5 dollar 6 max tourney for a 5 BI cash. Lost a lot of chips when my AQ lost to AT on a river ten. I bet it the whole way then checked the river and he checked behind after sucking out. ALways funny when that happens. At the same time I won a lot of coin flips and got lucky too so i can't get that mad over one bad card. Finished 25/300 in a PLO8 tourney for a 2 BI cash.

sess 2 37/48 2.75

Great session. Ran amazing and played well too. Best session in a long time. Quit early so I could play some MTTs while 4 tabling 9 man 5.5s. Didnt do too well in those but Im cashing in a couple of the MTTs. Got up to A with two stars in the PPlabs rating system for whatever thats worth.

sess 1 38/61 4

Starting off really hot but went cold the last 20 games or so. Still booked a decent win but it was looking like I was gonna have a big one. Got a little frustrated/impatient near the end and probably lost myself a little profit. I don't know if i was just running into big hands, but I wasn't doing very well playing blind v blind when down to 7.

10 session review 370/602 36.75

Over this 10 session period I earned 449.20 playing 36.75 hours. This averages to 12.22 an hour. Pretty similar results to last time. I had a rough period in the middle and also was underbankrolled and played less than the maximum number of games a few times. Only one session of over 4 hours. This is something I really need to fix to raise my profit per hour. I did play 10 hour more than last time, so at least I'm improving. My goal for next time is 45 hours and 600 dollars.

sess 10 40/67 3.5

Despite my good showing I played pretty shitty. Way to loose with my calls and raises. Ran pretty well, except for the end. Thought I was gonna book a much bigger win. Playing the normal format sngs messed with my play a little I think. If im gonna play these too I'm gonna need to figure out a better way to make sure the styles need to play each don't leak over to the other. Pretty happy about this 10 session set. Excited to see how i did.

sess 9 43/68 4.5

I combined the set of 17 i did while playing the VIP freerolls and the one I played afterwards. Played pretty well in the MTTs but only mincashed in one. The set went pretty well too. I played some 5.5 9 man sngs and did pretty well afterwards. I might play some more of these to see if my ROI is higher but right now I'm just trying to build my bankroll and try to move up to the 10.8s.

sess 8 27/48 3

Played pretty lousy this session. Made about 4 stupid plays that cost me between 10and 15 dollars of equity. I've played a lot today so it might be due to fatigue. Overall I'm pleased with the volume and results of my tourneys today. Except for my last session I think I played very well and even in that session I made some laydowns that I dont think i could have made a few months ago. Hopefully they were correct but using proper ICM, I think they were unless the villians were making huge bluffs. Kinda excited for the MTTs tommorow, havent played any in a while. Hopefully Ill be able to function well playing both those and DONs at the same time. Only one way to find out. Should wrap up my goldstar for the month tommorow; glad I did it after not having internet for a good week and a half.

sess 7 33/50 3.5

The numbers for this session might not be exact because pplabs was down for a few hours and doesn't have this sessions results, but I made a profit of 60 dollars and prob played around 50 tournies so that would be 33/50. Ran pretty hot this tourney. Got in trouble with KK a few times when I prob could have layed it down, but its just so hard to do that at this level. I did lay down KK to what turned out to be aces so at least i had one. This is the best session I've had in a while and it feels good to get back to booking decent wins. I'm hoping pplabs gets back working because it will really screw my tracking up if it doesnt. Prob gonna get another 50 or so games in and then get some sleep. I have two FPP VIP toureys tommorow, 100k freeroll and 30k for 100 FPP, that I want to be rested for. I think ill prob 16 table DONs during that time so I'm making those hours as profitable as possible. On another note, I'm really pleased with myself and how these sessions have been longer. Hopefully this will show when I calculate my hourly profit at the end of this 10 session mark.

sess 6 47/76 4

Nice to have another winning sessions after a few losing and break even ones. I reread my earlier posts and noticed I almost always seem to be talking about how bad I'm running, so I'm gonna try and avoid that and focus more on how I handle the inevitable bad beats Im gonna recieve. This session I felt like I handled them well and played pretty close to flawless. I seem to be limping in more with hands like TT or JJ and playing small ball on flops that look harmless. I don't think this is a really plus EV way to play, but I havent gotten into too much trouble with it.

sess 5 54/92

Added money to my account so i could play a full, or close to, set. Run really bad the first 3.5 hours, but got hot and finished well. Longest session so far, hard to play through the frustration, but I did and pretty well too i think. It was really hard to add money, UIEGA really needs to be overturned.

sess 4 13/26 2.25

Brutal session. Everything that could go wrong did. Then pstars does server shit so i cant reg for more sngs. I decide to play cash games and lose 130 bucks in 30 minutes. Now i have 8 buyins and prob need to add funds. I'm really pissed at the situation and also how stupid I was.

sess 3 24/47 2.75

I was gonna play about 4 hours but I started running really shitty and decided to quit early. Of the 23 tournies I lost, i finished 6 in 13 of them, unbelievably sick. A few of them I let myself get to shortstacked, but a lot of them I just got fucked over. I started off really hot and was looking forward to a nice winning session, but I guess it wasn't to be. Just gotta shake it off, take a nap, go for a run, and get back at it.

sess 2 41/66 3.75

I was really hoping to do 5 hours but I got so tired that i had to end it early. I ran really bad this session Ak lost to Ax at least 5 times and kk and qq lost to Ax numerous times too. However I got a pretty good profit. I feel like I played pretty close to flawless this session kept my cool very well through the beats. I had a top 5 reg in a lot of my games and he was extremely agro. I feel like a made some really good laydowns with aa and kept from getting involved when I had a comfortable stack. Very strange how this reg was bellittling a lot of the other players. I was gonna say something but its really bad EV to start beefs with people, epsecially people who are gonna be in a lot of your games, so i just kept my mouth shut. I have my bankroll back up to a safe level where I can comfortable run as many tables as I want and withstand some downswings. Gonna get a few hours of sleep then get back at it. My goal is to get 18 hours in before I leave for LA on thurs.

Sess 1 45/62 4.5

First session in a while. Started off running pretty bad and getting impatient since I was only playing half the tables i usually do. I think I played pretty well and ended up on a hot streak and made a nice profit. I'm back up to about 22 buyins which will have me running at near peak table numbers. Think I'm gonna go for a run and get another session in.

10 session review 273/451 25.2

For this session I showed a profit of 294.6 and an hourly profit of 11.69. This was my first time recording this so i dont really have anything to compare it too. I felt like I played pretty well, but I had a lot of internet issues that really fucked me over. I also had a lot of short sessions that messed up my hourly rate. I need to start doing sessions with a minimum of 5 hours which is half of what Ive been averaging so far. My goal for my next 10 sessions is gonna be 40 hours and 550 dollars. I only left myself with 15 buyins so I'm gonna have to work to get my roll back up to where I'm playing as many tables as I'm used to.

sess 10 31/59 4

I finished this session a week and a half ago but the internet wasn't working at my bew apt, so i couldnt record it or play more. This last session started off really shitty and I had to finish really hot to avoid a huge losing session. I had just a small lost which was my first one in a while. Ive been playing live the last week or so but I havent been doing that well. Im really gonna have to bust my ass to make up for lost time.

sess 9 17/26 1.3

Just did one set because I started off running like shit and playing like shit. Caught a good run of cards to finish with a decent profit. Really disappointed in myself with how easily I started tilting and how bad I played. I really need to start getting some longer sessions in to maximize my time spent playing. Gonna take a nap and try to get some good hours in.

sess 8 29/46 2

Pretty standard session. Got into a fight with some dude who was correcting and insulting some fish. Knew he was an idiot when he said anyone who plays for real money is a professional poker player and quoted me his gross results as his tourney profits. Got me a little distracted and I timed out from a few tables, but I hate letting people get away with shit like like. Had my first pokerstar siting last night. Saw "the magician" playing in a 65 dollar tourney. Must have not had anything better todo. Played 2 4 limit for 2.5 hours and won six big bets. Just cashed out a pretty big check from pstars so I'l probably play a little higher once that comes. Cash games still seem unbelievably soft here. Gonna go work out then prob get a (hopefully) four to five hour session in.

sess 7 35/53 3.0

Great session. Started off a little bad, but I finished well and even was on the good side of some bad beats. Was planning on playing for 5 or 6 hours but I'm still adjusting to the heat and elevation of LV, and I'm feeling a little tired. Internet kept cutting out but I didn't let it bother me and it didn't affect my results. Prob gonna play again in a few hours and then go play live tonight. I'm gonna start calculating profit and time spent every 10 sessions. I need to have longer ones to increase my profit per hour that I lose when I don't run 26 tables while I'm starting and stopping.

sess 6 23/41 2.75

Another rollercoaster session. Started off running pretty bad, but endured it and didn't let it affect my play. Then I hit another bad streak and this time I couldn't get past it. Started calling on draws and semibluffing for about 20 min. Ended up playing okay and even made a small profit. I was pretty tired after driving 5 hours and I think this had a little to do with my play. I played live earlier and won 8 big bets of a 3 hour session. I definitely need to get better at play when I'm tired w/o tilting.

sess 5 16/28 1.5

Just did a set of 28 today because I'm getting ready to leave for vegas. Ran a little bad, made a few calls I shouldn't have, but still made a little profit. Maybe play a little live when I get there, but I'll still be looking to get 80 or says games in later.

sess 4 22/41 2.5

Brutal session. Started out laying KK down on J35 board to a reg who turned out to have aces. Thought this might be a good sign, but I lost 11 of my first 12 tournies. All those hands that had held up the last few days, couldn't today. There was one reg who twice called my all ins with straight draws and hit both times. I was a little shellshocked from this rough start played a little more aggresively than I should have. Because of this, and the fact I hadn;t eaten today, I decided to end my session early. My pokerstars check finally came so I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow. I figured I'd give myself the afternoon of since I'll be playing 10 hours a day for the next few weeks or more. Really need to get my tilt under control. Turned what could have been a small profit session into a break even one. Definitely need to eat at least somehting in the morning before I start a long session.

sess 3 47/74 3.75

Roller coaster session. Started off amazingly hot, prob won 17 of my first 20. Then the internet went out for 20 min and when it came back seven of my tournies had ended and I think I only won one of them. Then i thought id clicked "I'm back" on all of them but over the next hour i lost 3 tournies I had been sitting out of. I had planned to play for five to six hours but these problems, along with getting bad beat a few times had me in a state I didn't want to be playing in. After the internet cut out, I 3bet shoved light knowing I'd prob be called twice, which is basically burning money in DONs. After about ten minutes I stopped tilting and played the rest of my session pretty well. Competetion seemed pretty soft today. There are a lot of soft MTTs on sundays too so it's gonna be hard to decide which to play. Even with all the problems I had today, I still finished up 14 BIs over four hours, which I guess I should be happy with. I just can't stop thinking about what could have been. Oh well.

Sess 2 21/26 1.5

Another short session today. I'm hoping to leave for vegas in a few hours. Today i went 21/26 playing for 1.5 hours. The sess started rocky with AA(A7 TTT(JJJ and my trip 8s getting outkicked. These are laydowns I could have made but at this level I just don't give people credit for big hands and I think in the longrun, it's more profitable not to. After that everything pretty much went my way. I don't really suck out on anyone, but all my hands held up and it's always nice when that happens. I thought my bubble play was nearly perfect and I'm getting better at not watching the results of all ins.

MTT sess

My mtt session went pretty well. My total bi for these was 23.2 and i netted a profit of 28.8. I cashed in 3 of my 6 events. 3 of 104 in a razz event, 23 of 735 in a shorthanded PLO8 event and 4 of 45 in a NLH sng. I'm doing these more for practice than profit right now. I felt like I played really well, but I definiltey see where I could have played better. Especially in the omaha event. This is one of my first experiences with a solo razz event and I think this will really help with the razz portion of the multigame tourneys i play. I find myself tightening up around the button, something which I really need to get rid of if I'm going to maximize my profit in MTTs. I definitely want to start playing for MTTs. My ROI is these is around 50 percent which is about four times what is is for DONs. That being said, these don't offer the same dollar per hour profit which the DONs do, and since poker is my sole source of income right now, I probably wont be able to dedicate more than 10 hours a week to them. Still, it was a nice change of pace for the grind which is multitabling DONs and it was actually fun playing poker for the first time in a while. I've been making some decent runs in MTTs recently and I'm starting to think that they are going to end up being the most profitable thing for my poker career. But until then, I'll just keep grinding the DONs.

Sess 1

Today I played for 2.8 hours and went 32/47. I took a couple of nasty beats early, but I felt like I ignored them and played well. I had been 30 tabling the last few days so doing 26 felt pretty easy. I was trying to not watch my all ins both to get to other tables faster and also so I wouldn't see bad beat and get tilted. I did this more than I have in the past, but I still have a lot to work on. This session was shorter than what I want to do, but I'm going to play some MTTs tonight and I wanted to get some food first. Fri nights are usually pretty soft for SNGs so i hope its the same for MTTs.

Back

Even though I havent posted in a while, I've still been playing. In the last three months I've earned 2640 from SNGs and another 400 or so from MTTs and FPP bonuses. I gave up trying to multi ring games as cash games online are tough to beat and extremely frustrating. I have played around 400 10.8 DONs with an ITM around 58 percent.

I am in the process of moving so once I am settled I think I will move up to these permanently. For about the last two months I have been running continous sets where I enter tournaments as I finish others. This is the best way to maximize hour profit. I was up to doing 30 but I found it to be a little to fast so now I'm doing 26 to start and keeping 22 going til i finish. I have noticed that my ITM has dipped a little as I have added more tables, but the profit per hour is better and thats all that matters. I have also started avoiding entering DONs when i see regs who i know are good. Some want regs in their games because theyre easy to steal from, but I'd much rather have someone that cashes 40 to 50 percent of the time than someone who does it 55 to 60 percent of the time. I feel my endgame has gotten a lot better these past few months, but my starting game still needs some work. I let bad beats at one table loosen me up at others which costs me a lot of money.

I've started to work out and meditate before sessions which will help me keep an even temperment and play to the best of my abililty. I also am going to start logging my sessions and putting them here so I can get better hourly figures and for self evaluation.

4/12 to 5/2

Since my last post I went through a little bit of a slump. I only left myself 24 buyins after my last cashout and I had a downswing right after I cashed out leaving me down to about 12 bis where I stayed for about a week and a half til I finally got going again. For this three week period I'm up 136 dollars over 708 games. This is well below my average and has lead me to make a few changes. First I am going to leave a minimum of 200 dollars on each week after I cash out. I've spent a lot of my sessions the past few weeks only playing 8 to 12 tourneys which is less than half of what I should be doing. My second change is that I'm going to start playing cash games and differnt types of sngs and MTTs. My ROI on the DONs has slowly been going down and I think the players are starting to catch on to the format and that's making these a lot less profitable. Last week I made over 100 playing .25 .5 NL and I'm gonna start 4 tabling both Limit and NL and tracking. Hopefully these might be more profitable than the DONs have become and they have the added bonus of giving a lot more FPPs than SNGs do. I got my goldstar this last month the FPPs ill earn this month should bring in an extra 200 dollars. I will still play decent number of DONs and am also going to play and track 6 max and regular format SNGs.

Week ending 4/11

For this past week I had profits of 254.5 playing around 20 hours. I had two midterms this week so school kinda had to take priority. I also tried to play some different SNG formats, which I can't do as profitably as the DONs. I don't have any school work to do for the next two weeks so I think I'm can get 40 hours in each week.

Week 4/4 Results

For the week ending April 4, I had a profit of 346.5 playing around 28 hours. I did pick up 30 extra bucks from FPP tournaments, but these aren't trackable so I won't count them. I had been kind of stagnant in profit the last couple weeks and it was nice to get back to making decent money. I think this was due to both the number of hours I put in (28 is well above my average) and also the fact that I'm up to doing 24 tables at a time. I've only done a few hundred like this, but my ROI doesn't seem to suffer. When doing this many tables it is extremely important to have a solid internet connection and not be fucked up. Over 130 dollars is on the line when I do this many and one fuck up would can mess up your whole week. For this week I'm going to try and do continous five hour sessions of 24 tables. I've mostly only been running one set of 24 and then stopping for a while. This will make sure that I'm maximizing all my time playing and I think a 400 week should be attainable as long as I run decent.

Multitabling

I remember when I first became a winning player, i started tracking my results and found I was making the equivalent of $1.8 per hour. This discouraged me to the point that I quit playing online and started playing in live casinos. When I finally came to to online, I found the missing part of my game that me allow me to make a decent hourly rate. Multitabling. I started just playing two at once, then four, six, all the way to my current 24. To someone used to playing only one table, even four can seem overwhelming. But after steadily increasing the number you're playing, and learning your format well enough so each decision requires only seconds, playing multiple tables will not be that difficult Of course while you're doing this make sure the drop in profit per game that extra tables bring will be more than offset by playing more tables per hour. Charting your progress is essential so you know whether you're making money or not and for figuring out the most profitable way to spend your time. The best sites are Sharkscope.com and Pokerprolabs.com.

About me
