The 1-2 experiment, legendary tilt and epic stars meltdowns.

March 1st, 2007 - As usual, Threeup up and I are insulting each other on AIM when then all of a sudden the following comes up: In all his stripper wisdom, the kid decides to bet me that I couldn't drop down in limits and stay there for an extended period of time.

Me? Not be able to do something? Is this guy kidding? You know it's on.

Now, normally, it's true that I wouldn't be able to play a month of 1-2. As per my usual poker degenercy and the reason for this blogs existance, I would be jumping around from 3-6 to 5-10 to 25-50 depending on my mood or how much I was stuck on the day...but when a guy lays down a dare you gotta take it. (I know, I know, cheesy 80's movie reference, sorry I couldn't help it.)

Fast forward to today, and after 20,000 hands of playing 1-2 exclusively I am up somewhere around 10grand. That is, uhh, until this morning.

Let's back track a bit to around 11pm when I decided to get ridiculously drunk with a friend I haven't seen in a while. Many many shots later, I come home in the early hours of the morning very very drunk and very very broke. Good thing I have the ATM of online poker at my disposal. After all, after about 44-45 hours of playing (6 tables @ 75hands/hr), I'm averaging ~222$ per 60minutes. (Imagine if I didn't suck?!)

It's cashout time baby!

So naturally I head on over to my pokerstars account, click cashier, and what's this? If I cashout my account balance will have an imperfection in it. It will be uneven. This simply won't do. Heading over to the 10-20LHE tables immediately.

10minutes later I'm down 40 bets. Is it even possible to lose 40 bets in 10minutes? Seriously. Time for 30-60. The beats don't stop. I'm down several thousand and I haven't even broken a sweat. I'm not playing well, I'm not sober. I refuse to quit. Time for 5000NL.

Now we're here, it's 8am and a buyin later I'm still broke, slightly more sober, and am writing this blog for your entertainment.

Normally, I wouldn't be so mad because, well hey, I do stupid stuff like this to amuse myself on a daily basis but this time there's a problem - I may have just been proven wrong by Threeup! I mean, does drunken idiocy count? I suppose it should? Furthermore, I was planning on going out tonight and spending an obscene amount of money on alchohol and personal entertainment...but now I don't have any.

Hey Threeup, double or nothing on April? I'll 20 table the hell out of 1-2!

Jay is sad.

lil donkaments

First off wtf is lil? I can't come up with something it stands for so I'm guessing it's more leetspeak that can get destroyed by the masses. (Sup Jay) Also pwn is still pronunced own jackasses, Everytime I hear some bitch say powned I want to slap them. That said I felt lil is approriate when addressing tournaments because I fcuking hate them as well. So what did I do today? Well a nice relaxing days away from grinding on the tables because I think I'll boot up some tournies for the day.

So Let's Breakdown How Bad I Suck:

PokerStars:

10+1 PLO - WTF?? Why did I join this? The prizepool is barely over a grand so I decide I'd rather stare @ my genitials for a bit instead. Instadonkdown.

50+5 NLHE - Started off pretty standard not doing much playing a little LAG early on but not getting involved still. Fast forward a little bit I c/r all-in with an OESD he calls with an overpair which was also 2 of my outs. I spike, he gets pissed, bad play is rewarded again, I buckle down. Fast forward a little more I start playing very well and getting involved in tons of pots. I'm constantly flipping shortstacks getting insane pot odds and winnings more then I'm losing while never putting a significant portion of my stack in jeopardy. I'm stealing left and right and flipping a lot and gaining a lot of chips without making any big hands. We're approaching the money and I'm about 30ish of 110 (90 pay). We make the money, I make a few hands and get near the chip lead continuing to do the same thing. Pow! We had started with 798 and now we're down to 9. As much as I hate tournies I do final table them like it's my job!?! A lot of swings prior to coming I had lost a couple hands and am now in 5th going into the final table.

People are getting KOd much slower then I would like as I was hoping to move up a couple spots before I was forced to gamble. Life's tough I still raise dueces UTG 8 handed after folding for a couple rounds. Yeah, I'm that donktastic and still better then you. Shortstack has AQ and just calls flop KJx so I push because that's an A+ flop for dueces. He calls and hits I am again crippled by two overs and a gutshot as it is the reason I am in 5th instead of 1st. Lots of up and downs people are dropping surprisngly slow based on how much action had gone on in the first round @ the final table. I make some hands but more importantly am playing excellent. Go through a stretch were I'm stealing a lot only to lose them in the races. Shit evens out and I get a big chiplead. I only expand on it until we get 3 handed. I raise A6o on the button and the SB who has shown some streaks of aggressiveness but has been largely passive pushes all-in. I don't remember the exact #s but had decided it was insanely marginal either way and made the fold. Couple rounds later I again make the same raise with 78s and he pushes in again. He pushed in with strength and based on my willingness to call I should have again laid this down but instead I called like a jackass. I regret this play almost as much as my OESD from earlier. He shows 88 I flop the OESD but come up short and he's back in it. We end up getting HU and he has about a 5:3 chip lead but I feel confident. Blinds 10k/20k he raises to 80k and I have A2s. I make it 160k. This was a mistake. I thought he had made it 60k and debated just pushing but decided I was just a tad bit too deep to make that play. Had I seen it was 80k I would have pushed. He toiled and called. Flop came AQQ and I checked since I'm obviously commited to this hand and if he has me I figure it's with a weak Ace so the odds are we're chopping up anyways and hopefully if he has a small pair he'll stab @ it anyways. In hindsight, I could have probably got Ax off by leading out and had considered it but had hoped to get a small pair to bet a few more chips because I'm a jackass. He bets and I push though his bet basically set me in anyways. He rolls A6 turn and river are 2 and 3 respectively and I lose 4k to a 6 kicker. Those are the 3 hands I regret how I played and have nothing to do with the results. For my lackluster performance I get to add another $5,413 to the coffers @ the cost of hating myself the rest of the day.

50+5R NLHE - I hate rebuys as accordingly they are much more expensive then the base price and for whatever reason I've never liked that. I also just don't have a good grasp of the strategy & can't afford to try to learn the start open pushing early on to get a lot of chips in play @ your table strategy that a lot of the really good players use. Being as these same players make the rebuys some of the toughest regular fields on the net from what I've heard (specifically the 100Rs) there's obviously something to it. That said all the extra chips in play do add a lot more play after the rebuy period ends which I am in favor of.

I started off rebuying so I started with 3000 and then did much of nothing for some time. Eventually I made a couple of sizable bluffs which I was almost positive would work and with really no risk since I could rebuy and caught a couple hands right before break putting me to a little above 7000 chips and then adding-on for 2 more. This had me in pretty good chip position and I was quite happy especially since my table had no one open shoving from the start and was infact pretty nitty. I had opened up Annette_15s table @ the beginning since she's apparently been tearing it up to see how she plays and 3 people were all-in the first hand and a lot of chips got into play. I was about 40th of 200ish players left @ the break so all things considered I was loving my position.

Almost immediately after the break however I got AA in the SB and UTG+1 made a raise and got a caller followed by an all-in from a shortstack. I pushed in to isolate and was against 77 for about a 7k-8k pot if memory serves me correctly but he spiked on a 7 on the river. This did not leave me in such a great position with only about 6k left but I certainly was not out of it but a hand or two later I picked up 44 and called a raise in position. I flopped midset on a flushdraw board and I got check minraised by the PFR. I figured I might scare him away by pushing and decided to get it on the turn regardless of what came off and he would surely lead any turn though he could have a decent range it certainly wasn't air. Turn came a K which didn't complete the flush and he lead out I moved in he called and rolled KK. GG me. Played fantastic and went donkdown early. Tournies are cruel.

100+9 PLO8 - I honestly have no business in this game. I suck @ PLO8 and I especially suck @ PLO8 tournies. Long story short PBDrunks made a big rebluff @ me which I couldn't call. I then got myself stuck in a bad situation with a shitty hand I couldn't fold. PBDrunks owns me. Respect to his game. I'm donkdown almost instantly. I need to stop playing these.

30+3 HORSE - Not going to cover a lot since it was a 30 dollar 48 player tournament and I play SnGs with more excitement then this but basically I started off playing a little sloppy but then thanks to mistakes of opponents and some super thin value bets which make me the HORSE stud I am I got the chip lead with aroud 12 remaining (6 paid). In Stud8 I picked up rolled up dueces. Played a massive pot and got smacked by a river flush the didn't go away when he should have and missed value when he made it. This crippled me. We got to hold`em and I made a set of 7s against a set of 8s. GG me not to interesting but shitty hands to go out on.

Full Tilt:

150+13 NLHE 28k Gauranteed - I make another massive donkey call with 6s on a low flop against Js pretty early on. I river a 6 and get chips I don't deserve. That's what tourney poker is all about. I then play well as I choose good spots to steal and make some hands when I need them and get in good shape. I played one interesting hand which I think was bad but I'm not sure how bad exactly. On the bubble (outlast one person make the money) The button who had been kind of nitty with a 20k stack made it 4k with 500/1k blinds and a 125 ante. The was like the 3rd or 4th smallest stack. The 4k raise made me suspicious because it was much bigger then the rest of the bets that had been made. I had about 30k which was enough to lose 20k and still make the money so I pushed over the top with Q5o. He instacalled with AJo which surprised me. Granted AJ is @ the top of his range so I expect a call from it the speed with which he called (I viewed him as a pretty big nit) surprised me. I lost and monied but couldn't make anything happen and went out shortly after. $200.70 woo-hoo. I found the hand interesting and am going to run ICM and PokerStove later on to figure out exactly how bad it was (if it was) since it's been a long time since I did any study into tournament hands.

24+2 PLHE 3k Gauranteed - I have no idea why I played this either. I think I just wanted another table open. I have no idea what happened in it other then it was uninteresting and I went out early.


Now with the recap of the day out of the way let me get back to why I hate tournaments so much aside from the fact it's barely even poker and the skill involved is much less (which explains why I do so good in them). The real reason is I always feel like shit. I go in with the mentality that I'm going to win when I sit down so when I win it's like a job well done but 2nd-Last is always a big bummer and I toil on hands played much longer then I do over hands in ring. I've also become really sloppy in the beginning of tournaments and outside the Sunday HORSEs rarely seem to buckle down until the mid stages. Until next time I have something to bitch about....later.

FTP Gives Away Money But It Does Me No Good

Full Tilt Poker > Requests > Check My Bonus Offers

I got $500 and I've already chunked off $1500 while clearing it. Impressed? I don't know how to combine my PokerTracker and PTOmaha database on PokerGrapher so I couldn't do true justice with a graph but suffice to say last week was up 9k in ring games followed by a sharp down 8500. I'm SFGood. That was all playing no higher then 2/4 so that's a minimum of 22.5 buy-ins up (that's a bankroll @ these stakes) and then over 21 buy-ins down. That's swingy =]

It's St. Patricks Day and rather then drink all day I decided I'd rather sit and home and chunk off more money until I'm even. Greenbacks > Green Beer.

The good news is I finally got my ePassporte debit card working so now I can cashout normally again. Of course as far as getting good and moving up is concerned that's probably a bad thing. Either way I'll probably have more non-poker bitching up soon.

All good things must come to an end.

Some douchebag once said that all good things must come to an end. I hate to give any d-bag credit but in this case the random proverb guy, that obviously never experienced the warmth of a womans wizard sleeve, is 100% correct. I played two glorious months of tilt free poker and I just got bullied and beat up on Lee Jones' playground. I felt like a pedophile trying to quell his urge for 12 year old brunettes. I kept telling myself "brah, do not tilt...." Turns out I was drawing dead.
A string of two out beats with my AA and KK and I was bleeding chips .FCuck it lets see how overdrive tilt treats the roll. Oh my opponent re-pops a gut shot draw to the understraight. I'm all in. Wow there is his card. Well played sir and another overpair busted. It seems like pokerstars got wind of my attempt to achieve the highest level of the VIP program(supernova elite) No way Lee is going to allow me to earn free all expense paid trips to big buy in tournaments and the elusive Porsche Cayman.
" But how I am going to get laid Lee, I need the sick whip and the gold-digging biddies will flock"
I guess I am just going to have to settle for Pokerstars Branded sandals and the special edition Chris Moneymaker poker sunglases. I mean I heard they are impenetrable to the stare of "Jesus" Ferguson and I should be able to pull off some shit that would scare David Blaine on the felt.
I guess I just have to look on the bright-side and implement my last resort plan to marry into the Jones family.
Forgive me for this sorry excuse for a post but I just chunked off what would've been 3 months of minimum wage earnings in a few hours.
If I don't say it someone else will.
"NICE FCUKING TILT SIR"

ReflectionDotcom

It's been a few weeks since my first and only post and I want to take this opportunity to reflect on my experiences in poker within the past few months.

First off I was fortunate enough to lucksack a win in one of the last $175 double shootouts satelites to the PokerStars Carribean Adventure (PCA). The entire experience was great. An 8k buy in WPT tourney,a world class resort, and the allure of getting drunker than a pledge at an alpha beta keg party. Anyway, I elected to play on day 1b as I wanted to get FCUKed up the first few days and check out the resort scene. My first full day in the Bahamas was interesting as I started drinking at 10AM and blacked out somewhere between 4-6pm. What I can remember in between was great. Riding highspeed waterslides with a blood alcohol content of .18 is obviously a great idea and a lot of fun. Apparently I pissed in public in broad daylight and probably was a 3:2 dog on getting banned from the entire resort but drew a miracle card on the river to avoid any trouble. The next day I awoke at 6am and it was my turn to play. I ventured into the enormous ballroom and it was a beautiful site. 500 degenerates just like myself geared up and ready to shoot off chips. Suprisingly I didn't feel nervous at all even though this was my first major live tourney and first World Poker Tour event. I just wanted to play solid poker and bust getting my money in good so I could get back to drinking and urinating in public. I was lucky enough to survive through day 1 and it took a two outer within the first 20 hands of the tournament for that to happen. Here's how it went down:

I had KK in the cutoff and opened standard. Villian 3bets button, had already 3 bet me once... he seemed like a true douchebag. The big blind was posting dead(player yet to arrive) so this was conducive to me raising and him 3 betting light in a resteal attempt. I decided to 4bet the kk like a retard. He called.

Flop came: T 3 3 two diamonds

I lead 3/4 pot, which put about 1/4 of my 20k chips in the pot at that time.
Villian douche moves all in for the full 20k. This was a huge overbet
I thought for about 30 seconds, was 75% going to fold, and said Fcuk it and called anyway. Obviously he showed two black aces.

Then boom! Turn comes king and ship it one time! I double up.

Although my first instinct was to fold I talked to numerous online pros(Guacho,Green Plastic) and many others and all said they wouldn't have folded.

I finished day 1 with 33k in chips and was up to about 55k at one point. Nothing exciting happened on my second day other than a few moves put on wsop main event final table participant Rhett Butler and the worst wsop bracelet winner in history Ted Lawson. I was extremely card dead on day 2 and busted in level 4, about 60 places out of the money. Overall definitely a good tournament experience.

After the 12 hour trip home I decided to take a more serious approach to poker and it has worked out well for me. I decided to switch to nl cash games and I have been doing very well at the 5/10 level. You'd be suprised at what a pokerstars avatar meant for homosexual males will do for your image. I credit all my recent to success to crafty image manipulation. You'd be surprised how much profit can be made convincing your opponents you're playing a lot looser than you really are. I have been meaning to incorporate the bigger buy in tournaments into my playing schedule as well but don't see that happening anytime soon. After all, not everyone can spike the sunday h.o.r.s.e. on a monthly basis (Sup ThreeUp). I also plan on making my way into nl hu cash games in the near future as that is where the most money can be made. Until then I will continue to move chips in 5/10nl 6 max cash games and write these blog posts for all the Team FCUK Groupies.

HU NLHE

I'm soooo bad @ this it's sick and the variance is nuts. I've decided this and PLO is where the money is at. I chunked off a ton too a huge donk after beating up 2/4 for 2k earlier I chunked it all off this evening to someone who played so bad I should have made some laydowns very easily instead of stacking off. Yeah, I stacked off twice knowing I was beat. I'm horrible but I'll get good @ it. Eventually I'll discover I'm forced to go with my reads and do very well in this.

I tilted a bit @ the end and leveled myself getting the excuses to call - it was tilt. Momentum is so huge it's amazing, though detatching from the game means you can gain a huge edge over your opponent when you don't let the swings effect you. It's no wonder there's so much fast money to be made in HU.

I'm also trying to loosen up in 6max and play very LAG. Filthy PT has all sorts of errors when importing my HU play for whatever reason and I lost all the hand histories including the 6max I was playing @ the same time. I'm a horrible horrible donk and now hate myself for that last session I played since I underperformed so largely in HU despite only lossing 350 for the overall sesison. Almost up 2 dimes for the day though so that's something. Once I get good I'll change over from bitching about things people already know to just bragging about what a balla I am. Until then, have a good one.

Kinda Hot Right Now

I did it again. I bent over the Sunday HORSE on FTP and made it my bitch. $6540 not bad for a few hours work. Final table had Ari (who I dislike for calling down with Q high in Razz a long time ago and being good) and Micon (who I dislike for personal reasons) at it but neither did much. BadgerDawg however took a 100k pot off me (with 300k in play in the entire tourney) by calling down with 5s in Stud8 which were obviously good to scoop. I don't know why I try to run plays like that since no one ever folds and they look like geniuses. Oh well. I ran well this time as oppossed to playing excellent like last time so I'm not complaining. More angry at myself then anything. I need to improve my game in the late-middle stages for LHE as it's clearly the one part where I don't have a large edge. I'm looking to improve that so I may continue tearing this up. I'm definitely thinking I need to make a point of playing the Stars and FTP HORSE every week but it probably won't happen.

In other news Bugsy's Club changed the 50+5 10k gaurantee Sunday freezeout to a 10k gauranteed 20+2 rebuy tourney so I'll no longer be playing there. I'm not a fan of rebuys and absolutely adored the 10k freezeout structure. It's a shame and hopefully they'll change it back soon.

Also I still crush silly @ low stakes PLO. I'm running very well in 1/2 and 2/4 though the sample size is still small. Can't wait to get in enough hands or enough knowledge to figure out what's truely sustainable but I'm positive it will be much more profitable then Hold`em despite not being able to see as many hands an hour. Also a lot more fun and less like work as I still am learning a lot about the game where as HE as felt like a grind for a long time.

Unpoker-related quips: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip has been put on hiatus by NBC which is a shame since it was the best show currently on TV. It's replacement The Black Donnelly's had a very good pilot and I hope both shows continue for many more seasons to come.

The Shield returned April 3rd. Best show ever.

I bowled well over average today but I still hate bowling. Have a good one.

The Alice Experiment

When i first began playing online poker, we had to use Morse code and ham radios, if you thought server crashes that left you with disconnect protect were bad, you would in no way be prepared for Russian spies during the cold war especially if you flopped a set... However, this is not my point, nor does this opening statement have anything to do with what i'm going to blog about. Early on I played primarily on Pacific poker and Party Poker, i was a newbie and a losing player, So i stayed playing the beatable live cash games in my local area, until i became proficient at poker. I did however, swear off online poker and never played again until my girlfriend had found poker.com at the time they had a 200.00 freeroll a 500.00 freeroll and a 3,000 freeroll, average entrants into each of these tourneys were about 90-200, this occurred daily... At the time you could register for the 200.00 tourney, never even play a hand, and usually win at least .75cents. On my first attempt i took 9th and on my second i took first. I then made quite a bit playing cash games and had multiple final table appearances in the 3k and the 500 freeroll. I had an online bankroll, but no bankroll management skillz. Playing cash games locally i'd always just play with what i had, and spend what I won, I co-owned a bar/pub that i also bar tended at, the bar always lost money, but i at least had tips to play with. I was used to winning every time i played, and so when i built up my online bankroll from zero to 1,200.00 I withdrew and spent it. Shortly after all of that things financially took a turn for the worst, i got out of the bar business, I also didnt work, I lived above a transmission shop so i wouldnt have to pay rent. The only income i had was from live games and i'd have to be bankrolled for those, most the big games had dried up or at least no one would tell me where they were, so i was forced to play in the small stakes games where at tops there would be $400.00 on the table... Which was a far cry from the usual $8,000. Also i had to split half of what i'd win with the guy bankrolling me. I was living off of poker, but i wasnt living well.

"GET A FREE $50.00 To Play at Party Poker" - I saw the ad, i became intrigued, but unfortunately as i looked up the details i realised because of my preexisting party account i was not eligible for this offer... But my girlfriend was! I signed her up, and gave her the Name Alice*
I then stole an internet connection and would borrow the business line from the shop downstairs whenever i could to log-on and play.

*there was more to the name but i'd like to keep some anonymity. I know longer use the Account, but I'd prefer to not receive a backlash from anyone i had played*

$50.00 of my own money to play poker with, a second chance, and now more skilled then ever, and more determined, i was going to pull myself out of the hole.

I INSTANTLY noticed that everyone treated the Alice character different, Men respected more of my raises, however i could slowplay more, Women fealt a "Girl power" connection with Alice and would play softly against her if they fealt as though they were a team-mate against any boy players, i could get them to check down any hand i was behind in... and when i caught on the river and beat them, they'd say "Nice hand, good for you, YAY TEAM!!!"
My BB/100 ratio was higher than it had ever been, i was beginning to understand manipulating opponents is Positive EV, there seemed to be more to poker than just playing better.
I decided To take it to the Next level and tried to manipulate as many people as i could on every table i played.

I quickly learned i could tilt guys by being as offensive to them as possible, No guy likes being dissed by a girl, or beaten by a girl... Against an Opponent i hadn't played against before i often would take the worst of it a few times hoping to suck out, then i'd gloat, then they'd spew out poker math to me, Then I'd vividly explain to them everything i wanted to do with their mother, most of a sexual nature. They'd call alice a lesbian, i'd call them some homosexually slanderous name. (I have gay and lesbian friends, so i knew all the names that really set off straight folk) I did Whatever I could to fuel the fire, I set no boundaries or standards of etiquette for myself, it was as important to my game as pot odds, expected value and as much a tool as the check raise or the freecard raise. Most people tilted few would leave, and those that left i'd follow to other tables, and explain to their peers how they were afraid of me. They wanted to beat me, they wanted to nail me on that big pot so badly they didnt care how much they had to spend... they were going to teach me a lesson.

After rebuilding a decent bankroll, i moved money back to poker.com under VoxGibson and began to pay my bills and feed myself and my girlfriend and my cats and my dog and my fish and my rabbit by playing poker.

This was also a very liberating experience from the confounds of being VoxGibson, thats who am in all poker games. I am polite, I am a nice guy, but I do occasionally deliver razor sharp quips, subtle insults a wisp of condescension and have little patience when it comes to morons, I dont usually berate players for their poor play, i usually compliment them on a nice catch.

I am not suggesting all male players create a female alter-ego to go and make bank on any poker table. I'm just using the experiment and example to give you an opportunity to examine how much of your personality costs you money at the poker table, what could you do differently to get that extra BB/per 100.

For women, i suggest you avoid the feelings of girl power, and dont forget everyone is your opponent not just the boys.. Also learn to be more aggressive, not just in your poker play, but verbally and your whole persona at the table...


I hate the saying, "you're stepping over dollars to pick up nickles"

The Vegas House? THE Vegas House!

So the other day my boy Bullitpete hits me up on MSN to show me The Vegas House he bought with all the money he's won from me over the years. And just to rub it in, the guy invites me over for a home game during the WSOP?! Can you believe it?

Well, he's got another thing coming because not only will I be over for a home game, but considering I've probably paid for 30% (Have I EVER won a coinflip against this guy?) of the place, I'll be staying over and throwing wild parties complete with dancers from The Rhino.

So if you're a cute girl who wants an autograph, check out the Photo Gallery for pictures and an address of where you can find us.

And for all you angry poker players who pete's given bad beats to regularly, don't even think about it. I heard the man keeps a handgun collection on standby at all times.

WSOP '07 Holla.

Burnout

I'm on full blown Hold`em burnout with the release of Full Tilt Poker Beta with super sexy resizable tables I've obviously dedicated myself to 12 tabling 6max NLHE and logging more hours then ever. Despite issues with my client crashing for me (before Beta, so far it's seemed as stable to me) it's excellent but the constant crashing I'm suffering from has cost me @ least $500 a day.

In order to deal with the burnout I naturally started going out more; hanging out with friends, meeting new people, enjoying the fresh air. Well I've been doing that or spending the time I'm not grinding my ass off by jumping back into Stud8 and attempting to teach myself PLO. PLO is like crack and I've been tearing up the low limits and enjoying the hell out of it since I get to play a very Super/System style. This evening I played like absolute shit outside of the HU tables which I beat up on but I ran well and managed to suck out in a couple big pots to end up on the day.

I haven't slept in like 2 days so after I get some rest I'll update some more interesting content.
