Wellzers

I am bored and have nothing to blog about, I can't sleep despite eating a sleeping pill.... OTC not prescription, I am not a pill head just insomniac, was watching a show the other day about sleep, and decided that none of what was on the show related to me... Said the sunlight gives us energy and that we have internal clocks and if we miss too much sleep our bodies won't be normal until we have caught up as many hours of sleep that we are short of................ hmmm...... and all sorts of jibberish that made no sense whatsoever.

I am pissed at Full Tilt again, I swear that it is just fucking wrong... I can not win a race if I am 3+ hours into an MTT, which is why maybe the turbo tourneys are the only thing I ever fucking click in... What the fuck am I doing wrong? I just don't get it, do I really need to have literal 40K slides in MTTs??? I mean shit.... it is just absurd how cold I am in anything worth mentioning.

Bad Bad Bad Weekend.....

Ok so did not get very far in coming back tonight.

Lost another 1500ish game was not very pumped up tonight, just not much money in flow and it felt like a Sunday night after a hard weekend of partying, you know when you are aware you have to go back to work the next day and everything feels so drab, the last NFL game finished up, your not 100% yet, everything feels a little dark, the atmosphere is just shot, no life anywhere. That is how tonight felt so I did not play too much.

One hand, I flop nuts in the omaha round with Ac6c4d5d flop 3 5 7 with 2 hearts, well I get all in for my 1100$ on the flop vs a guy who was hammered drunk....

He has 3498....... in my suits..... heh, turn is a 5- 3 outs all he has and he binks it, was my night pretty much, then I dumped off another stack to him with AK 10 2 on a 2 6 7 flop he calls 700 on the flop after I repot pre he manages to call this 700 with JJ45.... binks an 8 I failto make 2 pair or trips on him and hold off the other card, oh well....

Tomorrow online day, gonna recover, gotta go buy a ton of furniture on Monday for my new place which I have not found yet but hunting for, so gonna be a big dent in my cash supply but oh well, gotta do it....

Dubble Posts

Sooo atleast I made up for my casino losses online, played Cantum 10-20 HU and took 3500$ from him, was up about 8K buuuuut couple rough hands in the end and I need sleep.

I am a fish, still angry about the casino night, fucking muppets priding themselves off making sick calls only, hes such a fish seriously, and I could not get into a spot with him like I did when we played heads up, but then again heads up hand ranges are way different and situations arise nearly every hand, so whatever I will get him back, he won't be able to muck top pair to me, just venting still over the whole thing. I need to make it up to the casino today but I just may not, but I need to.......


Blibbity bloobity

Jay quit hiding and post you yankee!

I has had a goot title, but has forgotten.

OK OK OK OK.....

So last week(end)ish?

I had talked about playin "sick calls John"

So this week I go play the weekend 2-5 game, just Friday thus far, so tomorrow still to follow, but tonight I am broken as a person, I feel busted and hurt.

No lies.

Noooo liiiieeeees.


I just feel broken.

A couple hands that did not go my way, just a couple breaks I could not get to fall towards me, in other words a couple trees I had been chopping my axe at that fell towards me, when I was chopping them to fall away from me, in the clear, this is how poker is. This is what poker is supposed to be like, but you know, it just happens sometimes, I am certain most people have seen the Full Tilt commercial where Gus Hansen says "some nights you just have control of the table, lead all the pots lead all the action and still nothing goes right"

This is how tonight felt. It happens but it feels my confidence is busted up pretty bad when it should not be.

So, a run down of tonight then my week since I have been behind.

Tonight I play the 100$ buyin and donk out in a heart beat.

Tonight I play 1-2 and run sooo good but yet soooo bad some sick hands but that is irrellevant because it is 1-2.

Tonight I play the 2-5 and I get a few hands go against me, I tilt, I play bad, I deserve to lose tonight.

Here is the last hand I played tonight.

With the fella I played HU last week 10-20 "sick calls John"

I am SB with about 2600$

cards dealt in Holdem round.

I get XX? XX? Read further for answer and for your input

all limps to me, I make it 40$ to go from the SB, out of position from everyone at the table.

Sick calls John sits in the seat to my left and calls, 2 others call.

Flop comes

Qd 8d 3h

I bet 125$

"John" calls

One other calls and other folds.

Turn is a 3c

I check

Sick calls John bets 275$

Other folds and I move all in for roughly 2200$ more.

after a speech I moved in, a long speech which I gave a few of after a few hands I had monsters in the HU match with him, and he quotes "if you had not given any speech during the hand I would have already called"

So I think I am about to win the pot, I have represented a big hand like AQ or AA KK raisign so much pre, and this guy.... this guy calls with 99..... just a gross call that can in now way shape or form be +EV, not even versus me.

Ship him the cheddar I guess all I can say.



INNNNN other news, Full Tilt has allowed me to catch a card or two lately, been slowly building a roll on there, and I am soooo thrillllled. It feels awesome, this is the time of year I started rushing last year and I think I am about to heat up and can not wait to see what happens, so stay fuckin tuned!

UmMmmmMMMmmmmmmmMMMmMmMmmmmmMMMm.


Getcha Pop Kawn reddy?

Joe! hope your night finished well... Hope you decided to keep up with my blog! You better post a comment if you did.


All otherwise, I will leave a post by Monday, I should be able to recover 2K tomorrow night, no drinking no goofing uncontrollably. Will be there to let it roll baby, sick calls John will be feeling the hurt doubting life if he thinks he can do stuff like that versus me on a normal basis. I got him where I want him now, not that I did not before but now any time I have the nuts count on a gross overbet he can not apparently find the discipline to fold to.


G'day.

Not Droppin Limits Live

Still running excellent in live cash games.

This weekend played at the casino, show up Friday evening bust the tourney with 68h first level AI pre 3 way pot did not wanna play. Dropped 6 buyins on a 1-2 table, 1200$ gone in less than 1 hour. Hope over to the 2-5 Holdem Omaha game get stuck for 800$ or so quickly, get back to up 400$ on that table then some younger guy who refers to himself as "Sick Calls John" gets shitted into playing me HU 10 20 Holdem so we play for 30 minutes I stack him slowly, dominating every pot had control of all the action, he seemed pretty shattered, is his casino I just got back from Colorado 6 weeks ago, he was prob making the most money of any regular, but he is still so bad. He is fine on a full ring but so exploitable in a HU match.

Then the next day I go buy a shit ton of useless stuff at the mall, bought a 300$ pair of shades I don't need, spent 900$ on clothes I do need but will lose or never use. So was even on the weekend after the mall, and I hate the mall, but dammit I wanna be 16 again, miss those days.

Turned 23 on the 9th, few days ago. I keep forgetting this happened, I feel so old now. Absolutely sucks.

So on Saturday the 2-5 HO game was super super soft, so many pots worth 2K-4K and I got a couple of them, pone guy tilting so bad, this redneck drops about 3500$ most of which to me, one and only hand I will share briefly.

I have A 10 10 9 with nut spades, I limp early, button makes it 20$ to go, well below pot, me and another call mid position pots it to 120$ roughly, button calls with 1500 in his stack I call with 2500ish in my stack and the guy behind me (the redneck) looks pained but calls the 100$ extra.

Flop Jh 10d 3c

I check first redneck checks the guy who potted moves all in for 100 and change, button calls I make it 700$ to go, redneck shoots me a look, pained look and calls 700$ I say outloud "well this will determine how my night goes" button folds.

Turn 2h

I move the redneck all in for his 800ish he is pained and calls

I am like ooook I turn my 101010 over with A9

Shorty turns over AA 99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REDNECK HAS KQ63!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I dodge 2 outs since he needs A or 9, I scoop the pot, easy game this poker.

Hoo Rah

Well today first day of dropped limits. Played some small MTTs on .com, cause they are so loaded with $$$.

I managed to take first in the 2 biggest tourneys on .com today. Yay, was not thrilling at all.

Last night played one of the 5$ rebuys and rebought 26 times, people were talking so much shit to me.... It is amazingly funny how in a 5$ game people will tell you how bad you play and tell you how you could play better and what you did wrong and just talk as if they know every angle of the game, but if you play a higher dollar game noone says anything to you when you make a mistake, except the fish who decided to gamble and play a higher dollar game.

So anyways I rebought 26 times and added on and paid entry, spent 140.50$ on the tourney. Winner gets like 325$, somehow I win it to the dismay of everyone.

Won the 109$ won the 3500$ got 2nd in a 1000$ lost a buttload of sitgos debating trying to make run for the sitgo thing, free 2K + profits, don't really like the idea as much as I did a couple days ago.

Cant get anything going on Cake, still broke on FT.

I do have 225K FTP and can not decide what to do with them?

It is hard to find a girlfriend in my living room :(


DUI School tomorrow and Friday! Yea Boyyyy

And I am playin in a travelin band!

Online Poker......

Online Poker USA

Is skating on thin ice with me.

It is just so up and down. When you are running bad on a site you are running so bad that you can't even win a hand in the gaps. Given I know I run good sometimes, and my good outweighs the bad, but I just can not stay focused to be profitable as much as I should be.

Yea I whine about online poker a lot, this thing that has put well over 6 digits through my bank in 2 years when I have nothing but a high school diploma and a couple semesters of college.

I need another hobby, so I bought an off roading vehicle a "Samurai" which will give me something to do. This should be fun, used to offroad in a a couple friends trucks when I was younger, nothing more fun. Now I have a truck meant for it, it was actually cheap too, got it for 1500$. Can't wait to find a warm day to use it.

Get my DL back in about 4 weeks, when this happens I think I will actually be able to focus online and live. I think I am just burnt out.


I am down like 9K in the past 24 hours. Some on Full Tilt some on PDC. Played HU with 2 guys today on PDC, one I get AK make 30$ to go popped to 110$ by him flop K 2 3 withj 2 hearts he bets I just elect to call turn another heart he bets I shove he holds AA clearly. Then I 3 bet another guy pre with AQ flop Q 5 6 he holds 66 nh gg. Couldn't catch a break at all today, stole every pot I won almost firing 3 bets, and making one hero call with 56 on a 445210 board for almost my whole stack.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm my spirits are low right now, but it has happened before and it will happen again. Being on the downfall is never a high point.


So the new life gameplan?

Going to slow down a lot, drop limits again, be happy to make 3-5K a month + any lucky scores I stumble into which happen all at once for some reason. Get back into college, perhaps finish up there. Play more live poker, have something to do each day besides wake up and play poker from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep, not a very fulfilling life. Time goes too fast to do this, just want to do something more, but not headed in the right direction to do that. Someone lead me in the right direction!

Live Poker SO MUCH BETTER

So I am in Tulsa playing the Scotty Poker shit. He is not here, and will not be here due to his HORSE showing. He is getting shit canned as far as I know, and I am glad.

So anyways, nothing awesome has happened, I am like "even" for the trip, have failed to cash in a tourney. A couple really good hands I have been in though, all I am going to post really.

But before that I will bitch about live tourney crowds, they are nasty, I am sick. I have gotten sick both times I went to Vegas and now sick at this deal. Every time I go to take a piss I see 3 guys I play with pissing or coming out of a stall and not washing their fucking hands. God dammit that pisses me the fuck off.

Ok first I will tell how I lost 2K on a self inflicted bad beat.

I am racking up 4500$ off a 2-5 table ( I bought 2500$ of these chips) to move to the main table, so while I am racking the dealer asks if I want one more hand, I say "yes" because I notice I am UTG and can straddle. So I straddle to 10$ 5 or 6 come in for the limp and I make it 100$ more on top of the 10, I go back to racking my chips and only see 1 call from the opposite side of the table, flop comes down 10s9s3d I have 10d6d, and I say "I am all in" and go back to racking my chips....... 30 seconds pass and I look at the shorty and he is sitting there doing nothing just staring at me like he has nothing to do. So I flip my 6d over. (since I assume I have him beat) Then this happens, out of my left ear I hear "I CALL" and see 2K in chips start moving towards the middle and the shorty quickly folds. Well I am up against a sneaky son of a bitch who called the 100$ without me seeing somehow and holds QQ. Turn gives me a gutshot and a flush draw to add to a two pair draw but I miss and ship 2100$ to him. Was my daily profit and as of now my weeks profit.


I coolered someone in a 4000$ pot with AJ v A2, flop A J 2 turn 10 riv is the case A, and versus me he can't fold his hand, I am a reckless idiot live.

Ummmm last hand no need to go into detail, but I busted a 500$ Omaha event witn JJ68 (im rainbow didn't even need to be in the hand)

flop is Jc 10c 5d

Me JJ68
Another KQ55
Another Ac Qc 10 10
Another Kc Qx 9c 8x

SICK SICK SICK SICK this flop is by far the most action packed flop I have ever seen in my life. Hands down.

None the less KQ 55 wins the pot lol, like I had a prayer to hold anyways.


I am going to bed I feel like shit will have good stories again one day soon.

G'Day

Sick Cooler

So I am playin these live tourneys at a casino in Tulsa Oklahoma, played 1 tiourney this morning and lasted all of 15 hands, I was legally drunk from the night before, went to a minor league hockey game, and a couple bars, was a long long night.

But anyways, I have no order in anything when I type. Friday I played some 2-5 at the casino nearest me on my way out of town, got stuck for 3500$ was kinda drunk, and running poor, and playing poor. Stacked off on semi bluffs with few outs, and got hero called, this frustrated me to no end, noone ever makes a hero call on me it seems, noone has the balls to chance it, I had mid pair and gutshot on flop in omaha, and was up against KKXX like I thought I was, (or AAXX obv) and I had pot the flop on 2 5 6 with 2 hearts, pot was 180$, so I get called in 2 places, turn is another 2 non heart, both check, I think to myself "how can I rep a monster?" So I bet 200$ into over 500$, I get called in one spot, then I move all in for 800$ and change on the river which is not a heart guy tanks and calls with the KKXX, so sick... messed my head up for a bit and I tossed the other 2K away quickly playing bad hands and just not giving up, though I almost clawed even. But had some brutal luck, didn't have right state of mind, was just too focused on getting "even" when thats not the way to play a game at any time, so I deserved to lose.

Then today was the first tourney I played, 550$ buyin, had like 140 players I think, small fields thus far I have heard, kind of dissapointing. But I busted it first level playing AA like a nimrod.

Played some 2-5 afterwards, up down up down, no cap buyin, I bought 500$ and was up to 1300$ or so, then lost a few pots got caught running plays, was down to 700ish and the table was growing so I get up and buy another 1K to add to my stack sit down have about 1700$ in front now and I kid you not within 5 hands this hand happens.

I am dealt AJo in early and make it 15$ to go (was making small raises prob 30% of hands, and larger raises in position, was very very active) get 2 calls and the flop is A J 2 with 2 hearts

Me and the big stack are in the hand, he has me covered and is the only one who does, I lead out with 30$ one folds and he calls me, the turn is a 10h I check and he checks behind.

Now this guy has been checking behind (in position) with big hands all day to try to throw people off, and it works vs a lot of people. It is the strongest way to play your hand in these games, people just auto assume you are bluffing, this kid was one of the better players I have played with in this state.

Anyways, the river falls an ace, board reading A J 2 10 A with 3 hearts

Pot is about 100$ and I fire 110$, which was a big bet, I do not expect much action to be honest but he grabs at a stack of his green chips and I think to myself nooo way, was so exciting for me, he grabs 400$ and throws it out sloppy, now I know he has a hand.

I count my stack down in my head and see I have 1300$ more behind me just calling, so now the question is do I shove? Do I make it like 500 more? If he has 22 he can muck his hand. So shoving is saying allowing him to muck 1010 (which he just cant have) or 22. And also muck his flush very easily.

Well he says to the table "you guys are gonna have to excuse me I am gonna need a minute on this" and he takes about 1 minute and makes the call and shows A2. Very sick cooler, 1 out ace made a big hand, very sick hand.

Tomorrow is a 500$ buyin horse, which I will final table, I am calling that right now. Though it won't be paying more than 12K-15K to winner, that is if the tourney fills out over 100 players. Would be nice to see 100+
