If I didn't suck, I'd be up 50k this month instead of down 30.
yeah. I think that's about right. I don't even know.
Who cares?

Two Updates in One Day?
This blog is obviously blowing up huge. So like Jay mentioned I took a shot @ 500/1k HORSE and did pretty well. Unfortunately, I dropped 40k yesterday in very short order playing 1k/2k but I'm still up a fair amount in nosebleed HORSE for those who care. Unfortunately the variance is too high for me to continue playing it. While I could continue to grind and take shots I really feel the money is better used investing in things other then poker though I hope to be a staple in these games in a couple years. Interesting notes about the games:
1) The line-ups are often a lot softer then 200/400 games running @ the same time.
2) Since playing in it a lot of high limit pros have given me some respect and offered a lot of help in improving my game which is really nice.
3) The games don't play as aggressive as I thought they would. I mean they play aggressive but I thought they would play extremely aggressive, which was not the case except from a few players (EURO32PLYR & SteveSung come to mind)
The actual grind has been boring though in between such shots since when you're swinging up over 100k over the course of a few days or dropping 40k in an hour grinding 5/10nl seem kind of insignificant. I realized I was really autopiloting when talking to another regular about how "spewy" I am. It's true but honestly it's not in the spots most of the people tell me it is. But because of this conversation, I've decided to try to tighten up a few of my spew spots and really start focusing hard and studying again. Despite dropping 40k yesterday, I'm in as good of a mood as I've been since moving back to the cultural Sahara in which I currently reside and it's almost all because my outlook on the game continues to improve.
You can improve incredibly quick in this game. I remember during the Party days I thought ZeeJustin was living the life with an hourly of $300 and that if I could make just $200 I'd be content and just do that for the rest of my life. Well since going broke and focusing on improving my hourly rate has been considerably higher then that and perpetual greed continues though I focus more on wanting to improve then what the effect on my bottom line is. What is possible in this game constantly amazes me.
I still get no respect for even being decent by any regular @ 2/4 - 5/10nl though but Cole South likes my game so fuck em ;)
Halfrek who won the $1000 & $2500 FTOPS events for over 800k combined has almost inspired me to go back to donkaments but not quite. Absolutely sick results though. If you check his pokerdb he wins 4.33% of tournaments he's played. Unreal. Speaking on donkaments I'll be playing the HPT Detroit (June 6-8th), and events #22 ($3k HORSE) & #26 ($1500 Razz)@ the WSOP (June 11th-15) for sure and possibly some events later on in the series so if you don't suck @ life and want to buy me a drink and/or a lapdance feel free to leave one.
Good luck @ the tables.

Leaks in my game:
1. 4bet amount way too much.
2. Too much autopiloting.
3. Failing to extract value in certain spots/vbetting more marginals vs fools who have weak hands that should have been dumped instead of going for free showdown.
4. Idiot tilt.
5. Sucking at poker.
Going to fix 1 through 4 starting whenever I come back from this taking this poker break. P.s. I'm taking a poker break. Maybe.
Summary:
Was up 30k+ on the month.
Lost 20k while tilting for no reason and playing so bad that being on tilt doesn't even justify how badly I played.
Annoyed at myself for doing this every other month.
Still tilting off 100k+ a year. Sigh.
Woeisme

People come here and leave comments!
That's impressive. Too bad they're all stupid.
Take this one for example:
"Just checking in on you spammer. You will let you guard down eventually and I will find out who you are and crush you...I do not easy forget people that have spoken against me LOL. You thought you were some big "rakeback" guy but your just a little fish loser. At least i get the last laugh...oh yeah, your blog violates at least 3 rules in the Blogger TOS...I am reporting you so if you can afford the $50 to set up a real blog than good for you lol."
This woman has got to be one of the absolute dumbest people I have ever met online. Considering I have been playing online poker for god knows how long now, that is an incredible feat. She's been upset with me for at least six months now (probably more) because I was talking about rakeback. I actually didn't even remember who she was until one day I back tracked some blog posts and read an old one that mentioned her. So apparently she runs some horrific paintbrush website that was put together after finishing a course on web design and air conditioning repair, where she steals news, strategy, and various other content from real websites, respewes it in broken English and plasters it all over the web like her own work. Then she puts up links to freerolls in hopes that random fish will sign up, deposit, and earn her some affiliate revenue. In other words, her only goal in life is to milk poker players for every bit of their rake and suck them dry without giving anything in return. Then she gets all upset when they tell her to go f herself and sign up with a rakeback affiliate. Boohoo. Here's a tissue, retard.
Now she's waging war against me by reporting my blog. Oh no.
Dear whatever your name was:
If I cared at all about your pathetic existence, I'd put your name, social security number and those videos from mardi gras you have hidden in your closet all over the internet. Tell you what, I'll even help you out. I'm too lazy to dig up your website URL, but if you come back here, leave it in the comments, I promise you I will link it and send over the 3.5 people who read this site to sign up for your freerolls. We'll generate you $5 in rake, while players like 3up continue putting up 15k a month for me.
And now this:
"hi there I there I know exactly what you mean ak vs fishes q6 who was the bb i make big raise preflop 4k fish moves in for 10k just cos i got postion ! and willing to put his whole stake on on his gut that im just aking a move with no ggod cards. The fact I have been playing tight and not made no moves was irrelevant obv. runner runner 1 card flush draw for him. another aq vs a2 was a raise b4 me i call in sb. bb calls as well flop comes rainbow with an A I push for 2k rasier folds bb calls runner runner 22 he makes full. My confidence is so low now after lossing 12k that I am now being walked over so I begin 2 tilt end up costing me another 10k my entire bankroll!
Aftermonths of hard work with an initial investment of 1k. I am know question was it worth all the time I put in when there is absoultly nothing you can do to prevent this."
Wow. Look at this fish here telling me his life story. Just wow. Is he serious? Coming over here to tell me about losing 10k? You'd think he was a blog contributer! Does he not realize that we don't care? Does he not realize that I care more about me losing a nickel than him losing $50,000? Is this not self explanatory? The balls on this guy! I wish I could ban certain people from accessing this blog.
Dear fish:
I don't care. In fact, I wouldn't have even published your comment if I didn't need it to make a point. Please never visit this blog again. Thanks.
Other noteworthy things:
1. I chucked off another 6k playing Blackj[cr]ack
2. Immediately after dropping 6k on BJ, I banned myself from playing casino games.
3. Looks like we're all going to be in vegas for the series and possibly will be hitting up the UFC event.
4. Two girls have been asking me to go camping. It will be myself and 4 girls in 1 tent. They promised to share their sleeping bag with me. I'm undecided.

online poker. lol.
I run bad. Really bad. Really really bad. Like really terrible absolutely horrendous I don't remember the last time I ran this bad, bad. The scary part is...it can get worse.
Honestly, I don't know how many more OESFD's I can brick. How many 60-40's I can get f'd on, how many times I can lose a coin flip and how many more times the flush can get there against me. It doesn't even matter how many outs I have. I got it in with OESFD + both my hole cards are good if they pair...nope. Get it in FDraw+over+gutter. Nope. Get it in AK vs KJ. Nope. Get it in top 2 vs f draw. Nope. Set vs f draw? Nope. Set vs straight draw? Nope. It doesn't stop.
Running a nice -15kish below expectations. I have no idea how I still have money to buy in.
Then people rathole. Wow that pisses me off to no end...
Of course the combination of running bad and fish ratholing causes me to play bad and tilt to no end. So what do I do? I go play $200/hand blackjack and lose 5k. Nice.
On the brightside, the players are so ridiculously bad that if they continue playing me and continue to have money in their accounts, I will undoubtally be a rich man one day. When and if that day comes, I'll definitely quit writing this blog.
Anyway, on to much more interesting topics: 3up3down.
I know what you're all thinking...why hasn't he been posting his spiffy graphs and boring stories about downswings and all the "mad love" he gets on 2+2...well...this fool has decided to start playing the $500/$1000 HORSE game on FTP. And by playing, I mean destroying it. Not only is this game huge...it's also frequented by the very top players in the world...and our little stripper boy has been showing all those clowns who's boss.
In all seriousness, much love to 3up. He's worked hard and earned all the success he's having. Keep crushin' those fools,
I was watching late night ESPN the other day...for those that don't know...at 5 or 6am they have a segment called ESPN Outdoors. It's usually about fishing with professional bass anglers appearing on the show...well one of them said something really amusing that stuck out:
"A real pro must know how to spawn the fish."
