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.
