Pics from the HPT

It airs on TV sometime in March, but I get the DVD sometime in the next month maybe I can get it to stream on the blog somehow.

Ok I will spare some time

Been a while, try to recap most of it as always.

First off, I am going to be on TV in March for poker, not the glamorous WSOP or anything really cool, just the HPT (Heartland Poker Tour) Which is usually flooded with horrible players, I guess it still was but I was one of them :P

Ended up taking 1st place for 81,380$ and basically being the focal point of 2 one hour episodes I assume, if I am not, fk them.

I have not been playing on Merge too much lately, have not found much ambition to do so for some reason, partly because Jay ruins games for me by blocking most the tables and then people he pisses off come try to piss me off for knowing Jay.... So fuck you Jay.

I have been playin a ton of tourneys lately, which I guess was good turned out I played well in that HPT event and did well clearly. Have had some near cashes on the bigger sites, made a final in a 100R on FTP that I took 5th for 13kish, I had a sick run in the Stars Sunday 1.5 Million tourney where I end up getting 14th when I am in a 70BB pot with KK vs JJ and I lost, became short, gg. Would have had a sizeable chip lead if I win the pot. Bust for 6500$ vs the 230K 1st gets :(

Umm another tourney on PS around that time I have a top 3 or 4 stack in a 150$ buyin that pays like 20k with 13 left and I am typing 9900 at 2k 4k blinds, well I type 99,000 and commit myself with rags and lose out to the only guy at my table who was covering me, pretty standard, but funny.

Ummm several mediocre under 10k cashes to keep my roll "alive" but I am sick of tourneys now, I had my chance in the Sunday Mil which is going to be my only shot all year so I am done... I wave my white flag I am tired of spending 12-16 hrs straight behind my computer trying to 4bet at the right time, muck QQ to stay alive or make hero calls with A5, it gets old, people who grind tourneys for a living online are nuts....

I am going to try to spend more time playing live in general. Games are just easier, I get out of my house (even though I will be bitching about not being home soon).

A couple funny hands from a 2-5 HO game and a 5-10 Holdem game the last couple weeks.

First hand, I have 10h 10d 9h 8d playing PLO

Flop is Jh 10d 7h (hands funny enough already right?)

I called a big pot raise from the blinds, we are like 5 handed to flop and there is like 300ish out there already, so I just pot it.

Guy behind me, a friend of mine ships in for like 800$ and all others fold.

I am up against a dry nut flush draw....

I am drunk at this point. Clearly, its a Friday night...

So turn is a black Q river the 8h

He shows nut flush, I am kind of shocked he got there and I dont win the pot, I am staring at his hand (drunk) and someone behind me goes "you have a straight flush" and I look at my hand and I do. So the guy behind me I will claim didn't save me the pot for sure, I had not given my hand a last look, I mean I only flopped nut straight with middle set and a flushdraw and a backdoor flush draw, I am not even thinking about hitting a straight flush when I am on the flop since I am drunk and probably not thinking much at all. But anyways I felt bad that the guy said that and thats how my hand gets exposed, I am certain I would have caught it anyways but still made me look bad when I say nut flush is good to my buddy. My hand was too big for my immediate comprehension. I don't think I have ever hit a flop that hard in my life....

Another funny hand, is actually with Fred Bevill from the HPT he is on TV in every episode. He is playing the 5-10 game at that casino and I am drunk yet again, I am being pretty aggressive.

He opens for 30 utg one guy flats, I make it 110 with 36spades both guys flat. Flop is 8 6 4 rainbow, I get checked too and Fred reraises me and I ship in he tables KK I peel a 3 on the turn and scoop the pot worth like 4kish. He gets pretty pissed and gives his seat to his friend who also works with the HPT and I spew about 9K to his friend being drunk and stupid and they get the last laugh :P

But when we got down to 6 in the HPT we have to go do interviews and stuff and Fred is one of the one doing the interviews and he sees me and just laughs about it, was kind of funny, He said " I would have bet anything you would never make it this far in this tourney" and I thanked him for his faith and respect for my game.

I bought a new truck, well new to me, its an 06 Ford F-150 Lariat with 20" chrome wheels big tires, top of the line Ford with just about every option on it. The first nice vehicle I have ever owned so I am happy about it, I deem it good luck since I won the HPT event like a week after owning it.

Ummm bumm diddy bummmmm I dont have much else that I can think of.... Ill once again state that I will try to post more often, but I will surely fail.

Okay. I am running soooooooooooooooooooo bad.

And I am playing pretty damn bad too. I've played bad all month. Just been a tilt monkey for no reason. Barreling total donks non stop, value betting so so so thin because I need to balance out my bluffing range....EXCEPT I DONT NEED TO BALANCE ANYTHING VS FISH.

Oh...and they keep making pairs while I make non. AND NO ONE FOLDS PAIRS!!!!!! sdflaghfj;sfagsdgfasdf

God.

I suck.

Oh, and I run beyond bad. I don't know how you can do 100 $200 PLO flips and lose 3k and then proceed to do another 50 $400 plo flips and lose 5400.


Gone are the days of summer when I played well and ran well...

Brief recaps:

1. I continue to play mega bad.
2. Got super drunk and donked off 4k to a decent reg cause I just felt like it.
3. Did about 100 or so 200NL PLO flips and lost like 3k.

Runnin goooooooooooooooooood

I almost set my house on fire playing poker.

Had 2 mega donks heads up and not only did I have to urinate into a jar, but also threw some food into the microwave and was too lazy to take it out of the container so I set the thing for like 2 minutes cause I figured it'd need more tiem since it was in a container and ran back to play the donks.

Long story short a fire began in the microwave and must have gone for like a good minute. Good thing it didn't spread.

I ghaven't slept in 18 hours.

Weeeeeeeee.

*(^)&*^DIAGF&^)&^

The only bad thing about running super hot is how bad it feels when the horseshoe falls out of your ass. Over the last few days I'm pretty sure I've only dropped like 5-6k and with all-in equity it still should have been closer to 10k and is by all means a swing that doesn't bother me at all from a monetary perspective but frustration not being able to get anything going. I've been playing a lot of HU the last few days trying to get a feel for it and don't feel I'm handling it very well. I'm eeking out a win without game selection and am happily sitting down with the regulars but feel I'm making a lot of mistakes, adjusting too slow, lacking the stamina to close opponents on the ropes & a bunch of other shit. I just avoided going out for drinks with this girl whos pissed @ her boyfriend cause I had a super donk and manged to give this idiot of epic proportions 7 buy-ins back over the course of 4 hours. I actually quit him I'm on such steaming tilt which I've only done a handful of times & twice were in the last 24hrs. I'm a trainwreck (it's true ask PTR) Enjoy the hiatus of Jay & I wrecking your games while you still can.

What is wrong w me?

My head is just somewhere up my ass. I just wanna donk off and donk off and ship 7 high into the nuts repping narrow ranges non stop. I have no idea what's wrong with me.

I should literally be up around 15-16k. But I keep spewcitying it up because I am pissed off at the world. This is so stupid.

I am dumb.

/life tilt

Just played so bad I could kill someone.

-3k for no reason.

So rusty
So bad

Not even worth talking about.

Still hate everyyou all.
