I have no better title....
Not that I ever had good titles anyways.
Poker sucks, been losing or breaking even or winning minimal (staying even)for like 2 weeks...
I suck at omaha.... but I can not quit playing.
I got my grill fixed.... only 4000$ in fillings and shit.... <3 drugs
I has a system to save money now! I doubt it works... I hope it does though.
I bought more absinthe, I love getting beligerantly drunk.
Nothing really interesting poker wise... Just been playing no crazy hands nothing too absurd on the winning or losing side... Just real tame sessions for the most part. Feels like all the fish are starting to quit playing though. Games are so dead right now it's not even funny.... I blame the BBJ going off. Once it hits 500K again it will start drawing some people up. (or people will be stupid and expect it to go off at 1.2 mil every time)
I need a trailer for my Suzuki Samarai but I can not find one for less than 1500ish and I paid 1200 for the vehicle so why pay more for a fkin trailer than a working vehicle!
Doo wop, dooby doo doo wop

What Burdamania wants, Burdamania gets.
Never let it be said that I am not a man of the people. I give my fans the quality content they desire! I use the word quality liberally. Veeeery liberally.
(Note: Not much poker related content, but if you're looking for that, there's some at the very bottom)
So I haven't been playing much poker. Mostly cause I suck and don't wanna go busto, but also because I decided to get myself a new car since apparently my current car needs new axles because there's nothing left of the old ones on the account of me ripping it up and down the parkway at 90+ everytime i drive and NYC roads aren't exactly pothole free.
For you mechanic types: My cv's are totally torn, the axles are completely bare, and to top it all off a I need a new MAF & thermostat & battery.
Anyway, so better than replacing the axles, I figured I'd just pull a Jman (who, if you're unfamiliar, instead of washing his clothes just goes and buys new ones when the ones he's wearing get dirty) and buy a new car altogether.
Just like poker, variance is such a tease. I find a sexy black CL600 AMG package:
(above obv not actual car, just image for those of you who don't know what those are) being run this past wednesday. Ballin. Those are rare at the auction so maybe I'm finally running good for a change? lol, but on with the story anyway.
So I drive to my boys in the morning, get there about 9, and off we go. They're running it #270 or something like that on lane 13. Lane opens 9am, they run roughly 100 cars an hour...we get there 10ish. All good right? Wrong. We can't get our bidder badges. Account suspended! Ballin! Who buys 100k worth of cars and forgets to pay for them? Only people who would be friends with me. Anyway, he finds some checks and some cash and pays like the minimum to get activated and we're on our way.
Monitor says 13 is @ 125. Nice. We've got time to go drag race it around the parking lot and blow the engine before it even crosses the block. Ballin. So we spend about a half hour looking for the beast and low and behold...its not there. Sigh.
Off we go to operations, making a detour to look at some pathetic 99 CLK that was repainted by a blind monkey:
Jay: "This is the worst paint job I have ever seen"
Jay's boy, V: "I'd buy this for 2k."
Jay: "You know it's gonna do 2150"
V: "$150 blind tax?"
But enough tomfoolery, moving on to operations:
Jay: "The CL600, in 13. Where is it?"
Kind of cute chick with large norse and big boobs: "It's not on 13?"
Now before I continue, let me explain something. This place hires mostly senior citizens and the ugly of the ugly. So on the super rare occassion that there is someone even remotely attractive working here, she is automatically promoted (within her head) to Jessica Alba (or whatever hot chick you may think is currently hot) level hottness. Yeah, it's scary.
Jay: "Apparently not. Else I'd be talking to it and not you."
Yeah, she didn't like that.
Big boobs, now giving me the evil eye: "It's in the sold lot."
Jay: "What's it doing there? Did youuuuu buy it?"
Yeah. She didn't like that either. Apparently, I had blown my flirting chances with that first comment. Oops, I guess I was bluffing a station.
I don't feel like finishing the rest of this, so i guess this blog will be a 2 parter.

I continue to play absolutely terrible and run just as bad.
So I flirted with a -5500 day to only sadly finish at -3k. Yes. I have 3x as many losing days as winning days now.
Okay. First of all...I play horrible and by horrible I mean terrible and by terrible I mean if you take a legally retarded midget and sit him at the poker table, I'm relatively sure he will play better than I can.
Today was a very special day. I shoved into either the nuts or the near nuts 3x. To the same person. In the same position. As many hands as I've played over the years, this is a new one even for me.
Let's start with shoving a flush draw on the turn drawing stone cold dead cause dood turns a super disguised fullhouse out of the bb. Oh did I mention it was like a 450bb pot? Yeah.
Then same dude calls from bb, we see a flop of 666. No, I don't believe in satan or hell so it's not an omen you bible nazis. Anyway, he manages to play his 6 like a donk. And what do I do vs donks? I try to push them off quads with A high. Yay.
Same dood again! OPening AA UTG, our friend calls out of bb...we see 366 2 clubs. I shove for value..what does he show? 36.
It's nice to play bad and run good. I used to do that. Now I just play bad and run bad. And whine here. Sniff.
A bunch of tards, not one, not two, not three, but 4 or 5 have been randomly overbet shoving into tiny pots for stacks. Of course, on some kind random board with 2 herts (sorry, I don't remember a random board would be Q84)the turn pairs the board and puts a heart, and river bring 9h and gives me the nut flush. I check and donk shoves. He's done it like 4x now. How can I fold? Ship him a huge pot cause he made 9's full.
I don't know. Maybe I ought to wait for qauds.
Bunch of donks have been playing me HU 5-10 limping pots. One guy loves to just ship ti in for like 900 into 30. pick up a small pot and leave. He's done it 3x now. I flopped a Q high flush he calls 2 streets, riv brings 4 flush, i vtown he pops me I fold. He scoops 300$ and leaves. I think I'm down like 2k to this kind of strategy. I wonder if they have a team that's been put together specifically to annoy me?
I think this was the same dude who I flopped set of dueces on yesterday only to bet 2 streets and have him lead shove runner runner straight.
Here's a cute hand: So I'm playing one of the worst players ever. Not like this year, but everrrrrrrr. I mean, you can't be any worse than this guy, if you don't count me that is. This dude just weak loose, 90% of his buttons and calling raises most of the time. Never 3bets, rarely raises, rarely bluffs. Anyway he has like no chance but it's a grind to play him. small pots etc. Whatever. I'm grinding him down slowly waiting till he check calls 3 streets with top pair so I can get there with overs or something. I dunno. We keep playing back and forth. He sucks. Then this:
I open btn and flop Khigh flush on like QT8 or something zany like that. COuld have been QT9. Anyway, all spades. ROAR. he checks, I cbet, he raises me! Wait. What? He has either the str8 or the nutflush or a baby flush or 2pr or QUADS!! QUADS BABY!! Sigh. So i'm either way ahead or way behind. Like a total donk, I just call. I don't know I've played like 10 hours straight, leave me alone. I suck. So yeah I called. turn comes off suite A. He pots me, oh baby I need to ship it in like now. What do I do? I call. River brings off suite Q. NICE GOING JAY, you tard. He of course ships his last 500 in and I don't even need to timebank. I'm so beat here but I need to justify writing this blog so I throw the 500 in and he shows me AQ.
I know what you're thinking...and you know what? FU. I should have probabyl folded but I'd never forgive myself if he was shipping the str8 or the baby flush or even QJ, and he was bad enough to do that. I think. I don't even know anymore.
Whatever. It wouldn't have mattered if I shipped it on the turn anyway, he wasn't going anywhere. The only difference would be this blog title would be "I get 5 outed for 2200 on the turn. Again" instead of whatever it says now.
Couple other amusing (not really) hands:
I go to raise some donk limp w K7dd and make it 218 instead of 18. BB wakes up with AKcc and ships it. I get like 4:1 on my money but brick my 3 outer after flopping and turning every single draw possible. Variance, you tease!
Vs a a donk ratholing shortstacker who built up a 100+ bb stack: We end up playing hu cause every1 else sititng out or bust0eddd. Anyway. he's been min 3betting me like 1/3 hands and its annoying. WHo dat? Who dattt? Jay? Jay a nit? Jay's a nit? I 4bet 35o. He calls. Obv. What else is new? at least the flop comes sexy right? 24x, x being maybe a Q or an 8...nothing insane. HE CHECKS! What? Okay, i fire pot, he ships it in! Oops. Obv I call off getting better than 3:1 hoping that I'm up against kings queens jacks tens a set of 4's...whatever...anything but aces. What does he show? Acezzzzz baby.
Yeah. I'm just a tad bit annoyed. Poker can go to hell!
What we at now? -28 to 30k on the year? Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Anyone want to start a Feed Jay fund? Your donations are greatly appreciated.
Oh, wait. Something funny happened too and I guess I owe you the 4 readers we have some comedy for reading all my whining:
One of those all in over shove fish likes me. Who knows why? People are attracted to me. They either want to be my best friend or beat me up. Or have me sleep with their wife. But anyway so this fish starts talking to me and then asks me to call him. Okay. I guess he really does love me. And I am not one to pass up some hot and kinky phone sex with some tard I met playing online poker. So I call him to see what he wants.
Now, this dude is either straight up retarded or insanely drunk. He's slurring his words, and muffling his speech...but he keeps saying something about cleaning ass. And I can't understand what he wants for the life of me, except I think he wants to clean my ass or their ass or someones ass...and then it hits me...he wanted to clean them out...by them he meant the 4 other people playing with us...but he keeps saying clean their ass which was actually pretty funny but I was too busy multitabling to pursue it futher. ANyway, dude asks me to help "clean their ass"...i giggle...and tell him that I don't collude and he'll have to clean their ass all by himself. Conversation ends.
And here I thought someone wanted to make phone love to me...all he wanted to do was cheat.
Jay not happy. Jay need run better. LET ME STACK SOMEONE FOR CHRIST SAKE. I WANT TO COOLER SOMEONE. And by someone I mean like TEN PEOPLE. ONE TIME! I mean TEN TIMES. Set over set and give me the bigger friggin set this time!

I just booked a -1k session and it feels like a win.
That's sick. Pft. I played kind of good for a while then kind of bad for a mediocre session I guess...but holy hell why do I keep running this terrible? This is ridiculous. 2months of being coolered and sucked out on...and everytime I think it's about to end...everytime I put up a decent win and have a decent day where some hands hold, the very next day reminds me how brutally awful variance can get.
I'm annoyed about 3-4 hands I misplayed in big pots.
One hand I just wasn't paying attention to the table and our stack sizes, so I ended up needlessly calling a turn bet with TPTK on a dry paired board where villian and I were mega deep and he was obv building pot huge to stack me with trips...technically 3up is right and I could have just folded the flop but I think thats debateable...turn was an easy pitch though.
And I tilt called off with topset on a river where the flush hit just because I keep flopping sets and losing with them none stop.
Prob shouldn't have shipped Ahigh on double paired board in 1 spot either.
And one other hand I don't recall.
Otherwise just horrible variance....
A huge donk keeps playing enormous pots oop with air and constantly making some kind of back door runner runner flush or str8 combos where I either have some sort of good 2 pair hand or top set or whatever and I can't fold because he's a tard. I think he's stacked me 3 or 4 times doing that.
Got cool'd for 400+bb pot @ 3-6 mid set vs top set on super drawy board. Mehh..
Dood calls down light for stacks and gets there on riv 1st hand. 2nd hand he flops boat with 22 on 277 and I hold big pair. Pukee.
Some tard ships it on me with 53 on A25 or something along those lines. He immediately gets there on the turn. Sure, tons of equity.
Oh, this is a fun one...I flop the nut straight on a 2 club board. Dude leads flop, calls raise with draw to the under straight. Calls pot bet on turn, and gets there with backdoor flush. I can't find the fold button.
Some tard ships it in every 3rd hand, I flop a set with dueces on 2k8 2 hearts, he runner runner a straight, the flush bricks on the river, he lead ships it in huge and I;m forced to call. Great.
One of the worst regs on site open limps HU, we see a J29 flop, it goes bet raise reraise, 4bet and i ship it in with J2, dude calls with 29 and makes backdoor flooooooosh..
WHATEVR
I'm on tilt just thinking about how awful everyone plays and how awful I run.
Also I can't get action from 90% of merge. And some 100NL guy hit the jackpot. Goodbye 850k or whatever they gave to the table.
Only losing 1k today after being up 3, then down 6 feels like a win. Oh, god I hate my life.
Year to date: -25 to 28k on the year.

Absinthe, Live Poker PWNS Me, Online <3 Me
So I bought 5 bottles of Absinthe (no I have never drank it before, but felt 5 liters was a good amount to dip my toes in with). Have not really touched it yet, just a couple shots and can't tell you what I expect yet, should be alright though.
Live poker.... I am down like 9000$ playing live in the last 10 days (a couple 1K tourneys and a couple 300$ buyins and 2-5 cash games)
I went real deep in an Omaha tourney at Cherokee for the Oklahoma State Championships of Poker. 140 players and we get down to 19 players (14 pay) and this hand occurs (tell me how unlucky I am)
First the scope of the table. I was big stack early, lost a lot of chips was then a shorty then caught a little fire to become a top 3 stack with about 80K in chips (600ish in play) so I am very healthy vs the avg stack. An asian lady on my table who barely has me covered. All others are fairly short with not much room to play post flop.
Me and the Asian lady are literally just raping blinds (currently 800 1600) (40 minute levels so we are about 9 hours in) We are opening about 60-70% of the pots combined and very rarely in pots together.
She opens in early to 5600 (pot bet) I just flat with 5d 6d 7x9x both blinds fold. I am in position now HU.
Flop Ac 3d 4d
She pots for 13,600 and I repot it to 50 something leaving me about 25 behind.
NOW we have been opening A LOT of pots.... Only hand she can call me with here is AAXX, I dont think she can tangle for our stacks and positions in the tourney with even 33XX (44 she can ruling out my AA) (also not that I think 333 is a possibility so just speaking that for no reason) AdXdXxXx I think she ends up mucking also..
So she pauses for a second and moves in with of course, AAXX (when she flipped her hand up I thought she had diamonds too but only had one)
SO I am still in fine shape, virtually a flip and I might be a slight fav...
Turn 9c river 10s..... sick.....
I bust out of the money and give a great stack away, she ends up winning the tourney atleast.
Then I play the Heartland Poker Tour and I make a deep run, no cash but a deep run, just barely miss the cash, blinds move so quick in this tourney. I am very proud of myself for not snapping earlier in the tourney. By the time blinds were 500 1000 with a 100 chip ante I never had over the start stack, then FINALLY I cross 15K then lose back down to about 12K soon after. I was 3 outted 3 of 4 times I was in a turn them up pre situation, battling short(er) stacks trying to get going and some how only catching fair cards vs them.
I hold AK over KQ once to give me my biggest stack to blind ratio at 16ish!
Anyways blinds are 2500 5000 with a 500 chip ante when I bust. I have about 30K in chips and move in with 77 in mid and find JJ to cut me down to 5800 chips so I am in the next hand when UTG ships it in I come in all others fold I am vs QQ flop A J 3 with 1 Diamonds ( I have 56d) I ask for the 4d and the turn falls, 4d.... But I brick the river and bust about 15 from the 50 they paid roughly. Winner takes 127K and some change, but it wasn't for me I guess.
Then in a Stud HiLo tourney at Cherokee for the State Championships of Poker again, this tourney pulls a REALLY small field, but still the blinds are 40 minute levels and we start with 6000 chips. A massive field of 26 players came to fight for the ring and the cash. I literally have over half the chips with 10 left, running really well... But had been drinking since the start ( 9 hours in now) with 5 left and I spew every chip I have away to bust in 5th place lol. Not that winning was life changing, but 3700$ wouldn't hurt especially when I am sitting in an insanely good position to do so, and you got a gold ring, which I could lock up in my safe for personal satisfaction.
2-5 has been just brutal for me for the last 2 weeks. I seriously can not make a hand, find a hand, hold a hand, steal a hand or anything. It is just brutal. So I am stuck about 1200 BB in the past 6 or 7 sessions. Not good at all, variance is a bitch.
Doing great online though, which I am extremely thankful for. Keeps my motivation up atleast.

Live poker.... I am down like 9000$ playing live in the last 10 days (a couple 1K tourneys and a couple 300$ buyins and 2-5 cash games)
I went real deep in an Omaha tourney at Cherokee for the Oklahoma State Championships of Poker. 140 players and we get down to 19 players (14 pay) and this hand occurs (tell me how unlucky I am)
First the scope of the table. I was big stack early, lost a lot of chips was then a shorty then caught a little fire to become a top 3 stack with about 80K in chips (600ish in play) so I am very healthy vs the avg stack. An asian lady on my table who barely has me covered. All others are fairly short with not much room to play post flop.
Me and the Asian lady are literally just raping blinds (currently 800 1600) (40 minute levels so we are about 9 hours in) We are opening about 60-70% of the pots combined and very rarely in pots together.
She opens in early to 5600 (pot bet) I just flat with 5d 6d 7x9x both blinds fold. I am in position now HU.
Flop Ac 3d 4d
She pots for 13,600 and I repot it to 50 something leaving me about 25 behind.
NOW we have been opening A LOT of pots.... Only hand she can call me with here is AAXX, I dont think she can tangle for our stacks and positions in the tourney with even 33XX (44 she can ruling out my AA) (also not that I think 333 is a possibility so just speaking that for no reason) AdXdXxXx I think she ends up mucking also..
So she pauses for a second and moves in with of course, AAXX (when she flipped her hand up I thought she had diamonds too but only had one)
SO I am still in fine shape, virtually a flip and I might be a slight fav...
Turn 9c river 10s..... sick.....
I bust out of the money and give a great stack away, she ends up winning the tourney atleast.
Then I play the Heartland Poker Tour and I make a deep run, no cash but a deep run, just barely miss the cash, blinds move so quick in this tourney. I am very proud of myself for not snapping earlier in the tourney. By the time blinds were 500 1000 with a 100 chip ante I never had over the start stack, then FINALLY I cross 15K then lose back down to about 12K soon after. I was 3 outted 3 of 4 times I was in a turn them up pre situation, battling short(er) stacks trying to get going and some how only catching fair cards vs them.

Latest happenings:
Poker sucks. -25k or so on the year. I run super bad and play super bad.
Phil galfond is a sick sick man.
I went to visit 3up in Tampa this week who threw me out of his house in about 14 hours. Then I went to visit my friend Dan in Miami only to realize we both suck at poker. We went to play 100 max buyin shove fold 5-10 at the hard rock. It wasn't as fun as I'd hope...the idiot players, incompetent dealers and constant rebuys make it too slow to enjoy. And the alcohol isn't free. I lost $300 when my K3 off failed to improve over some fish and QJo ran off into the monsters that are A4 and 55 respectively Never the less, needless to say I haven't been sober a single day this week.
Worst freaking part is, for some ungodly reason it has been freeeezing in miami. God. I run bad even when I go on vacation.
I have lots to write about but I really don't feel like it so you'll have to savor these savvy tid bits of a ballerish lifestyle. Oh wait, one thing has to be mentioned:
One of these last few days Dan and I called up dudu early in the morning and told him we flew into the tulsa airport and to come pick us up. Well, not only did we apparently catch him during his most serious and beloved activity...I'll let those of you with inquiring minds ask him yourselves what it is...but we also convinced him to get into his 1995 ford f150 and pick us up. Then we requested cowboy hats and happy meals on account of being cold and hungry. He claims to have only driven 500 feet before we offered to sell him some property on mars, but I have a feeling it was more like 5000. Teehee and giggles.

Tunica Pwned Me :(
All I can say is I have never ran so poorly in live poker over 2 days....
I bust the 1K tourney in 2 levels due to my stupidity.
I lose 4K on 2-5 tables.
I bitched out on playing 5-10 because the games actually looked tough.
I picked up KK one time in 2 days, AA none, QQ once, JJ none, 1010 twice.
I even make a huge mistake with my KK (given my table image, I open about 30-40% of the pots and stab at 80% of those) I flat on my straddle! guy makes it 50 from the cutoff I am button with the "Mississippi Straddle" that is hard to get used to, all I am trying to do is get this other player in the pot who has been in repeated pissing contests with me. He limp mucks and I am up against QQ and A72 flops and slows us both down and I win a small pot when the guy who had QQ would have called his 800 off pre without a doubt.
I couldn't catch a break to say the least so left down almost 6K in like 60 hours of being there... oh well...
Bunch of smaller tourneys in Oklahoma this week, 300$ buyins about 20 minutes from me, some should pull some 30-50K first prizes so I will dabble in those and hopefully come back with some of my money back. Heartland Poker Tour will be here in about 6 days also, which is an 1100$ buyin will def be in that.
