You know what I hate?

You.

And you.

And you too.

OH, and the SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA.

I will (probably not) make a long, hateful, post about how much of a pisshole this country has become and how apalled I am that our current leaders are so inpet, they can barely function let alone be the champions of liberty and freedom they claim they are. ROAST SLOWLY IN A HOT FIRE, YOU SCUM.

A quick poker catch up: Barely play. Lost 12k playing live cause they have the one hand that doesn't fold, then I get mad cause I can't make a hand for 2 days straight.

Went on a tear, beat the hell out of bad regs, dropped half back. Quit for a month.

Went on a tear, beat the hell out of good regs, moved up to where stakes matter, played bad, lost itall. Quit for a month.

So now I decide to make my glorious return rigth before the end of online poker as know it. I am so smart.

Oh and contrary to what dudu would have you believe, I have tried to play every single HU reg on PDC, FTP for 2 days straigth. I got action (for more than 50 hands) from THREE guys. THREE. I must have sat against about 50+ different players. No ty Noty No ty No ty No ty No ty No ty. I even chased them. Buttoned for my blind about 30x.

Oh, and also I hope online poker either gets fully legal with all sites open to US OR I hope it dies completely for the USA so I can move on with my life or move to another country like I've wanted to do for the past 2 years.

Today was a terrible day.

Burn in hell Eric Holder.

Headed to ST Louis to find Nelly

And for WSOP Circuit, very small one, 1600$ main and som 550$ buyins leading up. Probably will only play the main and some 5-10 cash. I won a WSOP Main event package, and another mtt last night. Been playing a lot of MTTs lately, with not too much to show for it, theres profit!! Just not as much as I would like. The merge mtts are cute, everyone thinks I just run like god.... They all play sooo bad, anyone not playing merge mtts (if you dont make more than 50$ hourly on average and you don't play the merge mtts you are a moron) I mix them in with whatever I am doing, I have slowed down on playing cash only, I was getting murdered at 6max, breaking even then spewing like 30 buyins from frustration, 6max is literally just such a standardized game now. You have your ranges vs regs that are all about the same, you flip with this, with that, run good win money... I failed to run good too often, so now I just play the full ring games in the background and will sit hu. Been doing better like this, probably will keep doing this. Kinda hard sometimes to have like 20 mtts going then have fuck face Miki27 or whatever come to my HU table and say "PLAY FASTER" evey 2 minutes when I am going as fast as I can anyways and barely even being slow on that table as I make my moves there before any table! Then the cunt always runs up like 5x his buyin then loses it if he stays but sometimes he is smart and runs off and dumps it to someone else. I think I am going to take a road trip to the north west of the USA after this WSOP Circuit stuff, so if anyone lives in like Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon, something up there, post here and if I get close to your town I will mooch a drink from you. (you can buy me a drink in other words) and I will sign your hat or girlfriends tits or whatever and you can convince her I am famous !! Will try to post more here, as I always said... I feel bad you all have to listen to Kottons quantum physics for dope heads and moose4lifes monotone whining (tough to be monotone by typing) and jays denial that he is not a bum hunter when all he does is scout games and get mad if you dont tell him where a fish is! Wanna win a MILLION DOLLARS? Ask how in the comment section!

Jay eee el el OH I'm alive

Still not clean! I try! I fail! I am in a non stop break even run - I suck at poker and I am going to win the lottery soon. It is inevitable. - - -Jay you have always been a bum hunter... and no body cares - - Moose, no body cares - -Kotton, no body cares - -Tell me you love me baby. By leaving a comment saying "I Love You Baby" , love ya babes

Back to 25-50, back to a day of running 11k below EV!

11k,below EV, that's not bad, but wtf, i seriously just got back form a 10 day break of cash games, and this crap continues. On my break i won the weekly 215$ Hu at PS, for like 14k.Also was willing to chop with the guy but he apparently thought he was good or something. Funny part was i got sucked out on with over pair vs underpair twice, and still won it. Yes I ran well, like KQ vs 66 and 66 vs KQ. Need to win those.

This hand is great, I am 100% sure he doesn't have an ace, but some type of gutter or medium pair.He timebank calls turn...fish.

Lost 2k on the session after flopping a set vs german and playing post flop poker instead of losing every flip. Run better moosey plz.

Polecat

I get insomnia when I don't drink for a few days. Fun shit. Heard something outside at like 3am and found 3 small skunks feeding in my lawn before they scurried under the house. Busted out the trap tonight and just after dark the fucker's loaded with 7 of em, mother included. Lucky for me the mom's being chill (looks only a year or so) and hasn't sprayed. Unfortunately one didn't get in before the trap door fell. I haven't slept in like 40 hours, and I guess it's a good thing I'm not tired. Probably gonna be a long night trying to get the last pup.

*Hypnofold, hypnocall devil, donk, rofl if you're outta the loop. Donk has to be by far one of the funniest emoticons they've come up with

#WINNING


**EDIT**
About 4 hours of sleep finally weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Last pup skunk morphed into a slightly larger yet not so tight lipped with the sphincter glands skunk so fuck meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

My house smells putrid, but to all of your guys' dismay, I'm clean.

INF BELOW EV!

Been running so bad, but wtf can I honestly do? I mean, I wish I could run like Jay, but play like moosey! Dudu, I feel for ya. Kotton, I feel for ya. Jay, I feel for ya. BUT WHO THE FOK FEELS FOR THE MOOSEY!?!?!!?!?

YuuummmDinger

I just got so fucking pwned hu one. One of those times when you see your hand pf and it's in the top tier of hands n then see the 'action' flop knowing you're bout to ship 100+bb his way. FUCKING GOLD!!!!!!!!
So much easier to blog when you're losing....

Lets both benefit and hope I don't blog again soon

WHat do you think?

Uncle moosey here...should i get a prenup if i get married???

I think I am going to become a bumhunter.

What's the point of not being one? The games never go. The 4 guys who aren't bumhunters are super good so never play each other anyway. Games are ruined.


Turn into a nit. Play till fishes bust. Rinse, repeast. Completely suck at life.

It's fight night BIIITCH

I was going to save myself the embarrassment and eventual berating soon to follow, but what fun would that be?

Word of the Day: Bumhunter, n.
Posted By : Ray Finkle February 1st, 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A bumhunter is a player who chooses to only face weak competition and refuses to play regulars and skilled opponents. You will find them at heads-up tables sitting out until a random amateur takes the seat, almost clicking to sit in so quickly they break their fingers. They limit themselves strictly to playing games where they have an edge and are void of any sense of competition or accomplishment. Their motivating factor is the financial empowerment they receive from bludgeoning the meek, a real noble existence. They are part of the seedy underbelly of internet poker, amongst hit-and-runners, poker bots, and the various forms of collusion, and are comparable to a car salesman using his business as a front for high-scale cocaine smuggling and prostitution.

Do yourself a favor: don’t tap on the glass. Like a parasite looking for a host, they have no sustainable income if you aren’t there for them to attach to. Stay clear of these syphilis cells and you’ll enjoy a burn-free time on the felt.

Not Wanting To Miss Out

On everyone posting today so here's my bit:

First and foremost, Kotton i s a terrible poster and Jay needs to take the keys away from him unless it's about snowmen fucking. In regard to complaints of everyone bitching all the time, I'm running pretty damn good and certainly am not complaining. Since if you read this I have probably been outplaying and running great against you, I thank you.

I basically took the vast majority of 2010 off and drank a lot but not in an awesome sexy fashion, more just out of habit and boredom. Did win one of the small USCOOP events since Dadu put me in since I was on anyways and don't play Stars.

2011 while I doubt I'll return to this blog I'm definitely back to playing and trying to re-tune up my game. Going well though still expect much better from myself. That will suck for you guys so I apologize.

Unless Jay & I get into some ridiculous prop bet or I do something awesome like win a bracelet I doubt I'll be posting but those sick of people crying about poker should really ask Jay to post his other thoughts since he's actually entertaining away from the tables.

bleh

8th in the 2750 gtd...got some dumbass to stick most of his stack in with K8o vs AA and he runs well...triple up thru a few run goods b2b and ship queens into AJ that binks the A. Ran in top 14 the whole way and 2nd in chips into the FT. Good times

Something is wrong - I am broken.

Everytime I sit down to play, I just give money away. This has been going on all month.

I am not focusing and spewing and tilting. And showing a lack of interest.

I either need to start smoking weed or taking aderool or something.

My mind is all over the place. of course I'm dealing with a million different issues that can cost me a huge amount of money.

Played all day with a non working hand history. Super smart. Also talked on phone with a bunch of reps while 5 tabling, 4 HU vs 3 diff opponents. Lost like 14k like an idiot. Super annoyed.

Also pretty hard to get action. Random donks will hit n run me. I'm losing to random bad and mediocre regs. The good regs won't play me. The super good regs will play me, but I don't feel like playing world class players when I'm playing like garbage.

Something awful is going on with me.

Been playing like dudu.

Pun intended.

Don't know why. Probably cause I'm burnt out and don't want to play...but games are so good.

Prob going to Borgata for winter open.

Need new laptop.

JAY OUT

nlo

might be my new fav game

gl w/ the vices Jim n Jay


It's been in the mid 70's here, hard to complain

Will forever stop drinking.

I know I keep saying this....but one day I will.

Drunk jay picks fights with people for no reason and embarassed himself.

Past 5 days...

Its been about 5 days since I won my 10k at mega millz, and I have played about 20-60 min each day for the past 4 days. Made 5k first day, 5k the next, 7k the next, and today might be the first of my losing days, thanks to missing the sickest PLO draw ever vs the incredibly awful...thesnowissnowing. Well, maybe I will make it up...maybe not...

I still H8 mtts

I fucking hate them with a passion. How fucking hard is it to beat a field 80% less than the norm on the big sites? IDK it's been so fucking long I have no fucking clue wtf I'm doing anymore. FUUUUUUUUCCCCCKkkkkkkkkk



umm yeah, that's a smidge better

Some things never change

So I've been really sick this whole week. Like to the point where I was self medicating with Honey Pepper vodka at 11am. Ya. Sick as a dog.

And I stayed away from playing poker while being sick for the entire week.....actually did something positive by working on my game AWAY from the tables. I am really really good when I can see everyones hole cards, by the way.

Anyway, some here comes sunday and I got a fever and I'm bored and I'm sick of looking at hand histories...so I wanna play and I go and I unimaginably play like complete crap...cause I'm sick and I'm bored and I wanna gamble...bla bla bla bla. And I'm messing around with some theoretical plays and bet sizings I came up with while drunk.

Blah blah blah blah some more. Long story short, played very poorly, now stuck 5k.

Anybody notice this is a familiar song I like to sing?

I kind of don't care right now. I'm sure I'll be super mad about it later and furious with myself.

What else.

Uhm. New years was typical old school jay. Make a fool out of myself, insult people, tell people I find their girlfriends attractive. Get ridiculously drunk. Old habits die heard. Someone's going to kill me one day.

Dudu has been MIA for a while. He's in what I like to call the "leave me alone, I hate the world" mode. It's the mode I'm in when I don't log on for months or answer my phone. He's probably in rehab for his oxy addiction...or at least I hope he is.

Hopefully we get him back soon...this blog just isn't the same without him. <3


Oh! We have some new posters. Hopefully they don't suck. But I'm sure they will since for some reason we only let people on here who are absolutely terrible. Go figure.

One day we will get a real site...one day...where everyone can join and post and have their own blog and whatever else. Yes yes one day. 2014 I think I said?

DaJay OUT

I won without playing poker....

Well, what can I say, I figured out how to win in poker...Don't PLAY IT! Instead buy $105 worth of mega million tickets, and hit 4 of 5 numbers and the megaball and scoop 10k. Yeah, that's how moosey rolls... One number off from hitting 1/3rd of the $355 million jackpot ( two fish in Idaha and Washington won it). I guess I deserved this for only applying half of the Mega Millions Easy Win Concept (Registered trademark of Moosey Inc). This is where you simply have to be trailer trash to win a large jackpot. So my friend and I dressed up as bums to buy tickets, I put on a t-shirt that said "Welcome to the gunshow" with two arrows pointing at my arms, sweatpants, old shoes, and a hat. I was missing the key ingredient, live in east bumblefok America in order to win. Hey dudu, maybe you should just play it next time and dress normal...

perpetually inversed

Honestly can't remember the last time I had a winning session.

Can't afford to take any more breaks

not starting off so hot.

anybody have a tissue?


edit: took the advice for mtts and fired up the 2750 gtd...3rd orbit guy Limp/jams 125 bb utg gloating the mighty KQs (I had AQ and woulda held but uh w.e)....he open shoves like 5 more times before I snap him with kings...can't fade the A5o for a 75 bb open shove utg+1 and the good ole Nice Hand remark.

Gut said you're losing this as I call

Gut says you're going to lose everything

Gut says you're fucked

Where can one purchase a new one of these? One that's filled with joy when he sees a big hand and a fucking spaztard open shove into it. It must have some price. Some price.

....3500 r/a went abt the same with some one going rr w/ 45s having me as pfr utg

I hope this chainsaw carving shit works bc I refuse to do chemistry for 12$/hr and this poker thing is meh

Flatlander

An egregious term used by local mountain folk to describe the myriad of idiotic drivers attempting to migrate from the valleys below to and through a small tourist town 7800 feet up in the San Bernardino forest called Big Bear.

Tues 28th: 55 degrees and snow melting

Wed 29th: 21 degrees 8 inches of snow dropped shaaabang!

Thur 30th: 45 degrees and sunny

Cali is awesome!

The drivers are even better. I bitched and moaned already about the trip up, and now it's time to rant about the trip down.

The road down/up is a highway. 55 mighty miles per hour. Granted we're going down/up a mtn, but there are courtesy signs to let you know what's up.

I wait till noon today so that the ice has had sufficient time to melt on the roads. The road has some residual H2O and dirt. Nothing more. Not a speck of ice or snow.

These fucking flatlanders and their obnoxious tire rings aka chains with max speeds of a whopping 30 mph are everywhere. Like a fucking ice cream cone dropped on an ant hill. Swarming. Swerving. Puttsing down the fucking mtn. Sometimes we got up tooooooo....wait for iiiiit....36 MILES PER HOUR.

I was fucking going insane. Two lane highway wrapping around mtn sides couldn't hold me back as I red lined my beast in 2nd gear around about 30 cars. A couple close adrenaline pumpers but that's usually a given.

And then we stop. A good solid 13 minutes just fucking sitting there because some rich pos driving a beamer can't stay on the fucking highway and needs a tow.

Two lane highway.

Tow truck.

Rich beamer fuckstick. adfskglnalksngfvklsdfngvlknw rlk

It was an extra hour and half drive. Thank you. Please come back to my little town again with your 3500$ snowboarding getup as you ride the bunny slopes all day or get blasted with powder as I shred past ur kooky ass posted up in the middle of the run.

Now to more enlightening stuff. I wanted to post up there, but the service I steal blows and the mac won't recognize my phone blah blah blah

Quick synopsis of Wednesday.

My lil bro wanted to learn how to board, so we hit the slopes during the storm. Powder everywhere and minimal flatlanders because they can't crawl up the mtn when it's snowing. It really is absurd to watch these people drive in snow.

Anyways, epic day with no complaints. I was warm from the midsection up but skipped the longjohns to my lower half's dismay. My scrotum was shrived worse than a prune that's been sunbaked in the Mojave desert, testicles were tickling the esophagus, 3 inch ice crystals in the shape of Spartan spears dangled precariously off my ass hairs and couldn't see a 100 feet in front of me.

I was grinning ear to ear like a 12 year old on Marti Gras who just laid his orbs on a firm set of double D's wobbling to and fro so close he could reach out and pinch those perky nips.

It was a fucking blast!


I have a cabin on a hill up there with one old hag who is cop happy and hates anything remotely entertaining or fun in life. The cops were called no less that 4 times on me for the following reasons.

Kneeboarding up/down the hill while getting towed by a quad.

Tubing that same hill with powder dusting the face and spinning in uncontrollable circles.

Building snow porn in the front yard.

All neighbors were laughing, taking pics etc. Shit, even the first cop was getting a kick out of it. He rolled up n said there was a complaint about some snowmen and that we'd have to tear it down if another call came in. Before he left though he busted out the phone for some quick snapshots. Next year the street has agreed to collaborate and erect snowporn in every yard. Old hag's gonna shit a brick lolz

Enjoy the pics

FML,

I will not to try and cry on this blog, but it is inevitable that it will happen.

Edit by Jay: EVERYBODYS WELCOME DA MOOSE. HE is a bad human. You probably already know him.

Happy Holidays

In the spirit of the holidays, I am offering a gift (and I use that term veeeeery loosely) for one of our readers or contributors.

If you send me a video of no more than 20 minutes of poker play, I will watch it and reply to you with my thoughts about the hands played. It doesn't have to be your video. I'll review your friends, mothers, grandmothers, sisters boyfriends uncles play, if this is what you send me.

I suggest that you send a hold'em cash game video in a 6max or heads up format, since that is where my advice would be most useful. I'll critique 9handed, sit n go or tournament play too, but I do not recommend it.

Do not send OMAHA, Razz, Stud, pineapple, crazy jim, or anythign of this nature. You may, however, send 2-7 or badugi.

I know this is kind of a late thing so I'll take submissions up until the 12 of Jan. If two or more people send videos....and I highly doubt this will happen, I will randomly choose which video I review. Maybe Dudu will review the other one. If this happenes, I take no responsibility for the damage his terrible advice may have on your game nor the impact of his Oklahoma cowboy accent on your ears.

Oh, actually, if you play razz or stud8, you can send in your video too. I will have 3up comment on it since he is pretty much a Razz/stud8 god.

Send video links to: fcukmoney at gmail

J

P.s. All of a sudden, this blog has gotten very amusing.

I cant wait for this year to be over.

Ran so so bad for the last 6 months. Not that it would matter if the year ends since its 1 long session, but a fish can dream..can't he?

Today was a stupid day. I'm still playing as I type this but at the moment i am down 10k, with an adjusted ev of +2k. Swell. Though, this is not really indictive of the worst:

Cards are coming out so incredibly ugly for me in the non all in pots.

And I spewed a bunch

And I broke another mouse.

I should be more mad than I currently am. I've calmed down. I was steaming hard. It's kind of lame though that fish keep beating me and giving it away. Really, it is.

just so frustrated. I've seen so many big pairs and they've never seen a flop without an ace on board. So many walks in the BB. So many lam shortstcks shoving over. So frustrating.

At one point was losing every pot. Would just get it in and lose. AK vs AK. I proudly think "now give him the flush" cause i know it's coming and sue enough bink bink. Then they shove every 6 hands and I call and fist pump with queens...into kings. Blah blah blah. Non stop. Keep it coming. I love pain and misery.

Top it all off, while I run bad vs fish and random regs and bumhunters...I run well vs my friends and dent their rolls. Not that I'm complaining about that too much, just lame I abuse my buddies instead of the scum of the universe.

DEATH TO ALL TRAINING SITES AND GAME SELECTION ADVOCATES

Complete fish says the following:

Fish> you have to much of an edge on me
Fish> gl


Not a bumhunter. Not a shortstacker. Not some random semi pro. These words were typed by a complete fish. May all training sites die. It's not that these losers are going to teach him to play well, it's that they're going to teach him not to play.

Remember kids, the key to victory is game selection! I can't wait till the day comes when no one plays anyone. I don't care. I'll survive, but the bumhunters won't.

People are idiots.

But good thing sites are starting to see the light...only about 2 years to late. I wonder how long it will take them to implement verything I said 2 years ago. Table caps, sit out restrictions, longer buyin wiping periods.

Maybe another 2 years when the games are completely dead? Maybe. Maybe in 4?

Maybe in 10? Who cares it's coming eventually right? Do you think I want to be 35 years old grinding out 10-20 vs 18 year olds all day? Why the hell do people mess with basic free market principals? Protecting the masses only leads to mediocrity and unhappyness.

ATTN KoTTon

No more of these penny stakes hands or I'm revoking your posting privledges.

Feel free to whine in an entertaining manner but stop with this crap.

Also Moose is a terrible person.

it was pretty fucking stupid

Left at 10:30p for what shoulda been a 3 hr trip tops. I beat the snow. I couldn't fade the mudslides and boulders that could easily throw u off the side of the mtn. Turns out the woman doesn't fancy camping out in the truck with frigid weather and rain pelting the truck for 6 hrs till sunrise. Made three different attempts to ascend the mtn from various sides and detours until bout 11am when the original highway we were going for opened up. Was only an extra 114 miles and 10 hrs stuck in a cramped ass truck with the girly. Good times ladies, good times.

A new low has been reached in the scum that is the bumhunter!

So i'm sitting at 10-20 6max by myself minding my own business when a bumhunting retard shows up and sits with me. This is a very strange occurance because for the most part these people avoid me like dudu avoids contact with females.

Anyway so I don't have autopost on and get sat out. Before posting, I specifically type into the chat box "if you're going to hit n run i'd rather not play". Okay, kind of a dumb request..if a guy is going to hit n run he's going to do it anyway, right? Well, this guy multitables 6max so he may have just wanted to start a game...and usually if no one comes they sit out (unless they are down money).

Anyway, so I think I make it perfectly clear that I wanted to play long or not at all. I mean if he told me he just wanted to try to start a game I'd have gladly just given him the table. So I wait a minutes or so to make sure he read what I wrote...he doesn't respond...so I sit in assuming he wants to play. And we start...he gets down 25bb and reloads...we contnue for abotu 30 hands...as soon as he wins a 40bb pot he SNAP SITS OUT! Like SNAP!

Now, it's not like he doesn't know me or how I play. He's been playing with me for months. And it's not like he's quiting because he was playing on 3 of my other tables. So why on earth would someone do this?

To be a scumbag, thats why. These people are the lowest life forms known to man. They just do things specifically to annoy others without any sort of benefit. They're like the kind of people who walk around scratching other people's cars just for the hell of it.

There is nothing more I despise than people like this. Nothing. I would not be against people like this becoming terminally ill with painful diseases. I really wouldn't. They add absolutely nothing to the world.

On the one hand, you might have someone who does something to gain something or as a retaliation for something you did. That's fine. These people need to exist. There's a method to their madness. But then you have these vermin who just do nasty things jus because...even if you specifically ask them not to do them and they gain nothing by doing them.

I've never understood this. I just don't get it. Why? Why would you do something like this?

I totally understand the owner of a tire shop who litters some corner with nails to drive up business. I get it. I do. But what does the homeless guy scratching peoples cars in a parking lot have to gain? It's absurd.

And these people are ABUNDENT in the poker world. Just abundent. Just everywhere. I wish someone, somewhere would seriously hurt people like this. Maybe break their legs in such a way that they are in a wheelchair for the rest of their lives. That seems like a fitting punishment...at the very least.

P.s. I'm really really really sorry I let Kotton on here. But we need the content. And yes I know we suck and he's not helping. Fully aware thank you very much.

omw north

I can be stupid, and this is probably pretty fucking stupid. Mobbing 220 miles north to my cabin (it's 11pm) in big bear (8000 miles higher in elevation and colder than my beloved dago) in the midst of the biggest storm in years dumping more rain in the past two days than predicted for the entire month in hopes I beat the snow. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Prob not blogging unless something noteworthy happens. WTF noteworthy happens at ssnl? I'm sure there will be something if not some gay pictorial blog at the min.

Merry fucking Christmas u hobags

Craigslist rant

Don't get me wrong, this place is hoard of fascinating information and artifacts. The rants and raves section here is infamous for it smut smattered posts in submissive poses and don't even get me started on the free section. I mean seriously, you can furnish your whole fucking house. Sometimes it can be really nice shit since I live near a bunch of rich snobs (La Jolla) who always keep up with the latest trends.

On the flip side, selling something can be a nightmare. Being in San Diego, I'm somewhat close to that thing we call a border. These poor little brown people cross into my country and the fuck if I can figure out how they know about craigslist, let alone internet access. My gpa is having me clear his shit out, so I've been having my fair share of craigslist ron de vous. My fucking ads are very clear, concise and can't be anymore str8 to the pt. I say don't call me haggling a price because it's already at the lowest I'll take. These fucking beaners have the nerve to call without being able to formulate a complete sentence with offers no where near what it's listed at. After denying their request, three separate numbers, three different beans who can't speak, three different ways of me saying fuck off you're not getting it cheaper. "Ahh, u take two hunda dollas fo da laaayyyytheeee?" Fuck off! Go back to your fucking country where you barter for half assed, lead infested garbage and leave me the fuck alone.

On the verge of glory!

Stay tuned for more details!

Kotton,

What a terrible prediction. Koshchek had about as much chance of winning as I have of following the rules I set for myself.

In fact, I was so sure he was going to get raped, I passed up getting 5:1 on him. Dudu has a better shot of getting laid in vegas without paying for it.

fight recap

I was wrong, and the old lady is "cleaning" the kitchen which actually sounds like someone doing a demo so apparently I got too drunk. Blinds were raked open, drawers slamming and the to-do list is growing by the second. Hooray Sailor Jerry

Fight Night Biatch

Predictions:

Koscheck knocks out George 1st round maybe 2nd tops

Thiago and whoever the fck this black fool is will bang to no other and should be sick

too drunk to remember the rest

poker:

haven't played in quite some time; money is stuck on two sites

hooray month to month living!

-ssnl slave4life

Any day I break even

is a winning day.

I will never again play heads up limit holdem against anyone who isn't a total fish as long as I live.

If I do, I will donate Ten Thousand dollars to feminists.

Hmm.

When the gods of variance see fit, in all of their infinite wisdom, to pull me out of this ice cube and light me on fire, I will torch the skys!

Hey,

If you'd like to post here, leave your e-mail address and I will send you an invite. God knows, you will be most welcome since not only do we totally suck, but we don't even post our total sucking.

Jay


P.s. I know were supposed to have a real site...but well...I'm slow. No one else cares. We suck. Did I mention we suck?

Ok, Big Update

Ok so I have been winning at poker, been doing very well (except at 10-20 on PDC, I swear it is my doom level, I probably play bad at it, but I run rancid there too) I am stuck like 70k at 10-20 with my all in EV being set at -18k

I have been taking pain killers since June which then was for a tooth I had, and the tooth gets bad every now and then so I do need the pain killers, but I got hung up into Oxycontins. This was bad, they are like 20-25$ a pill for 30mg and I was eating like 4-5 a day for a couple months.

Given I won a ton of money, but now I am physically dependent upon these pills. It is a psychological addiction too which makes it worse, but I am 100% sure I am not under the psychological stuff. Basically when I don't have these pills my body hurts, I can not get comfortable, I get hot then cold, I can't sleep, sometimes diahrea, its basically like having a bad cold/soft flu with major body aches.

So I am weening myself off these cold turkey now. And it sucks, I can barely play poker right now. Sitting at a desk is just unbearable, so I figure this will be a couple week thing. Except for I have nothing to do so I will probably play and play poorly. I think I found some "methadone" like stuff (what these clinics give you to come off of OC/Heroin) but I will never go to a clinic. Fuck rehab.

So also the other day I played poker coked out (yes, this is just one giant drug post isn't it?) Let me just say for the record, before June this year I had done zero drugs (with exception of getting too drunk and agreeing to smoke pot like 3 times maybe) in like 3 years or longer. I have long since been addicted to marijuana (obv not physical dependence but this is where I started and smoking was a religion, as it probably is with tons of people around the age I was) then Meth, I was stuck on meth for over a year, and was the hardest stuff to kick. Literally couldn't find the energy to stay awake for more than 6 hours a day for a month when I quit. Then coke, this was not hard to quit as it was so expensive it was just force quit, but that run lasted probably a year or so and was the beginning of my poker like 5 years ago. Then ecstacy, this lasted proabbly 3 years of rolling at some points every day then every weekend night (thurs-sat maybe sunday) then tapered off and I got bored of it, obviously no addictions here just loved doing it and I am a degen at everything I do. Then alcohol! People that get addicted to alcohol are tough son of a bitches. I don't know how you could drink so so much that your body gets dependent on it, but you see cases of it sometimes on tv.

So basically in June, I started back up in a mini drug phase. With the pills, the Coke was a fluke, it was just at my house when I got back from my trip, I didn't buy it but I had a gram or so to myself (when I got this baggy I thought there was like 3 lines in it, it had been like 4 or 5 years since I had done coke and I forgot how much was what when it was in a bag) Well, I did prob 5 or 6 lines and this bag was not going down. So I literally smoke Parliament cigarettes (if you have never seen one, they have a recessed filter that was made for cocaine back in the 80s or late 70s) so I was just plugging the butt end full and I had coke for probably 10 hours or so. Such nasty stuff. Just smells like chemical when you snort it, then burns your throat unnaturally it seems.

Back to the mini drug phase that started in June. Previous to this "era" I had been breaking even/losing at poker. When I won the HPT event last year, I had a good month following, then I hit a brick wall. I lost like 40k to Jerry running bad, I lost like another 40 spread out. I went to Australia and drank my way to a near 50k loss. I came back and lost another 40-50 to another player who EVERYONE beat the bajeebas out of but me, I lost like 44k to him at 5-10 PLO, I tilted and ran awful obviously. I lost another 60-80 in the following 2 months. So I go on this slide of like 150-175k all in all in 6 months. I will give you my online tracking for each month.

November of 09 - I lost 41k and average losing 750 an hour.
December 09 - I lost 5k at -100 an hour
January 10 - I won 193$ 325 hands but I was in australia and lost like 15-20 playing from hotel thats not in my HEM (also need to tack this on to my Australia losses, I guess that trip was 60-65 in losses)
February 10- I made 11k at 400 an hour, barely played.
March I made 24k at 520 an hour, barely played
April I lost 23k at -220 an hour, played over 100 hours!
May I won 17k at 450 an hour.

June I was gone a lot but the tail end when I got back from the series, I was taking pain killers so check this out.

June, played for like 7 days - made 13k at 400 an hour
July made 25k at 225 an hour
August made 40k at 300 an hour
September made 38k at 400 an hour
October, I have barely played but have made 13k and tilted a bit.

Now, also to consider I was losing money on FTP and PS pre June, and since I have made like 60k on PS, I have made 50k on the everleaf network. Also have been playing better live.

Literally was not making any money all in all pre pills and I am up around 200k since taking them in a matter of 4 months or so.

So now I am trying to come off of them and see if I can continue playing half decent. I have still tilted off a lot of money on the pills, but I can play such long hours due to being comfortable at the desk. I am playing literally 2.5-3x as much each month. I am playing better, even though I am still one of the worst tilt monkeys at the stakes I play. I really do think I tilt worse than anyone I have ever seen at 5-10 or bigger stakes. I open ship hands when I am on tilt, not good hands either. I will 4 or 5b get it in with any 2, sometimes even call off to 4 or 5b ships with any 2 that I am getting crazy with. It is awful, I should probably find a psychiatrist for this?

So, I was playing about a week ago, at 10-20 and I go on tilt, and I lose like 10-12k in about 30 minutes, I played a couple hands bad, got unlucky in a couple, and tilted in some. So I get pissed off. I am online and I have one friend who lives near me (but doesn't play poker) who gets on aim and talks to me a bit, I send him a message saying "I feel like driving to one of the 4 corners of the US you wanna go?) (this would be a virtually free trip for him, I said I would pay for gas and hotels, and I ended up buying a couple bomb dinners) So he said yes, and within 1 hour I was headed to Maine.

This is how bad my tilt is. This was the day I snapped though. 3500 miles I drove in 6 days. Was kind of nice actually, except for smoking a cig every 40 minutes while being in the car. I met up with THE moose4life and went to Atlantic City with him, where I owned him in a 6bet pot with J3o (he like 6b jammed PF with KK and I SNAP off 1k at 1-2, like I SNAP call so fast when he jams and insta table my cards aggressively as if I had the nuts, then board runs 9 8 3 J X and I virtually have the nuts. But I was still stuck like 3k at the 1-2 table I was literally jamming every hand for an hour or so for 100$ per push and I would win a few thne lose it all back trying to 3barrell or jamming if I had 200 or less.

Then I went to Maine, and I want to go back, it was sick. I think the town was one of the coolest places I have ever been (Portland Maine) and I will go back one day. The nightlife seemed really cool even though there was nothing majorly big. There were several good looking women.

Then drove to Niagara Falls, it was tight, the Falls were, but Canadians turned that area into a fucking carnival otherwise. Spookhouses, arcades, dumb... dumb... dumb...

Then headed home, had covered 3540 miles in 6 days and 7 hours. Touched 14 states and Canada.

Now, all I have to do is drive to the north west when I am on tilt. Cover South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and I have been in a car in the lower 48, and Hawaii and I will hit Alaska one day, but I won't be driving there.

Thats all I have! I share with you my drug problems and poker problems! What do I do? Keep eating pills or go sober! Coming down is hard, and I got a text during this to get some loritabs (softer pain killer) these will help me come down and I have quit loritabs before with no problem, but these OCs are the devil and I urge anyone who reads this to never touch them. 2 months and I literally hurt when I don't have them... I would hate to have been doing these for a year or longer then tried to quit.


As always, will try to post more often! But I won't!

Ok, Tomorrow

When I wake up, I am posting a long long post.

It will be deep, it will be well done.

I think



Also, I post this saying Tomorrow, but when anyone reads this, both posts will be here. so this was a waste of time, but I already typed it so it stays.

This is what poker has become:

I am on such sick tilt right now. I have ben hit n run 6 or 7 different times. The same damn pattern. They win a buy in ad snap leave. Jesus christ Everyone. Regs, fish, semi regs, bum hunters, doesn't matter. The only people who actually stay and play are the really really good players...which I don't mind...but I don't ALWAYS want to be playing super tough opponents. All I get is hit n run. Especially on FTP. It'sm sick. win a buyin leave, win a buyin leave, win a flip leave, suckout leave. leave leave leave. and there are no games to continue. I sit for 12 hours waiting. Until one of these scumballs comes and gets stuck so they dont leave.

CHRIST.

Good news, bad news, worse news

Good news: We registered a domain name! Expect as site somewhere around...2014!

Bad news: Everytime I open PDC it makes me want to vomit...people are beating up my german. Don't know if I'll play him again, though.

Worse news: I've finally had enough of the bumhunters. It seems I am the only one who has cared for so long...so now I just don't care anymore. Or rather I am going to go in the opposite direction. I am going to sit at as many tables as I want of whatever heads up games I want and I'm going to never continue playing a 6max game unless there is a total fish sitting...and if there isn't and I stack a regular, I'm just going to leave. Furthermore if there is a fish running around, I am going to block everyone's heads up table and try my hardest to make sure the fish comes to me. Oh and if they get upset and come to play me heads up, I am just going to play my button and leave.


That's right, I am going to take the tactics of the asshole scum of the poker universe, the bumhunters, multiply them by 5 and give them a taste of their own medicine.

I am so sick of not getting any fish because of the 40 tables open filled with 10 of the worst players in poker history who sit there and think they are entitled to do as they please without regard for anyone or anything around them.

This does not make me happy.

In other news, I've been playing tough, semi tough, 1k, 2k games on ftp. Meh

Well

Small post, and Kotton, I won't fuck with the biza.

So last night Israeli comes and catches me before I go to bed, at 10-20 dumps me 8-9k gets tilted, comes to my 25-50 dumps two buyins on 2 sick hands in 11 hands played :/ I ran good.

SO I jump to 50-100 hoping he jumps again, no Israeli showing up, say oh well about to go to bed, see crabbitrun playing him at 100-200 and crabbit goes on to win approx 250k... I feel like shit because I didn't sit 100-200 too, I am a pussy.

The 33k I won feels so miniscule now. But still a good night I guess.... But it should have been so much better!

See I posted more than 20 words, good for me!

I will be

Full of ambition soon, this blog is not dead! I promise!

I just need some ambition!

WHY CANT I RUN HOT WHEN THE STAKES MATTER?

I'll let the picture do the talking. I'm dead inside.

Can't do anything right.

Playing a bit better, not great but better.

Played some 25-50, won

Played some 10-20, lost

Overall day: lost like 3k.

Running terrible. Not so much suckouts (although that too) but spots. Flopped K high flush and mucked it cause playing imbeciles that run good but are terrible otherwise. Mighta called off like 3-4k in questionable spots but I don't think I did anything too terrible. Had one good situation entire time where I had some idiot nutted and held. Thats about it.

Nothing more to add, just some whining. I know, boring. Sorry.

Remembering important and wise concepts from the great Tri Nguyen.

the nuts, the second nuts, and the thjird nuts."

Poker

-47K this week,.

20k tilt, 27k running absolutely HORRENDOUS.

Not in Godmode

Playing poker. Very rusty. Playing bad

-20k since return. Me dies.

I Am In God Mode!

And I am too lazy to post and tell about it...

I am up almost 6 figures since Vegas though (June 23rd)

But still down a bit for the year!

One day, when Jay comes back playing, this blog will return... I have nothing to blog about without Jays nonsense in the background.

A brief update

I've been busy enjoying life.

Dudu and moose left out like literally all the best parts.

Cot gambling
Basketball prop bets
Random hands we played
Angle shooting angle shooters

And so much more...

DUdu is a terrible wingman. He was shocked when I told some chick to shut up.

Rebuttle

Ok, ok, I got scammed in a rub'n'tug joint... but I had found a legit one, and my cute cab driver (yea this sounds like a bogus lie, but literally I had a cute cab driver! I didn't know they existed, given I was intoxicated) talked me into a closer one.

The girl I put into a headlock, I had that wrapped up, then I proceeded to keep drinking for like 12 hours straight, and I don't remember the last 2 hours, I remember being golden then I woke up alone, and cursed my heavy drinking ways.

Ok, so the Vegas trip, Jay seriously couldn't stay awake for more than 10-12 hours at a time, he would be in bed by 9 PM crying cause he was exhausted from doing absolutely nothing all day.

Jay was the only winner of the 3 of us that went.

We got a suite at the Venetian, and it was a crock of shit. Same as the normal rooms but bigger, our bathroom smelled like shit, which we found out a lot of the hotel residence said the same so it was their plumbing not mooses foul bowel.

So I lose 3 pots at 5-10 at the Venetian for 12-15k, and win one pot near 10k.... One was kind of my fault, but was super weird.

I didn't cash a holdem tourney, except for a 200$ turbo at Caesars Palace which I only played for a last longer bet to see who has to wear a certain outfit at the WSOP event the next day. I lost the last longer since I rebought 7 times, I final tabled got 8th for a profit of - $1000, I rock.

I chopped a 500$ Horse tourney at the Venetian (which I only played since I busted the 2k event there that day, and I was tilted from not doing well at anything I had done the whole time, and I was bored of holdem) and picked up 18k and was almost even on the trip!

So I played a 1500$ horse at the series, I get 18th out of 830, I got pretty unlucky in 3 or 4 pots at the end, and couldn't hang on... oh well, picked up 7k for that, still not even, since as the last update to this blog states, I was spewing money on blackjack the whole trip, I probably lost like 10-12k on table games.

So I played the 3k horse event, made day 2, didn't go too well for day 2, bubbled, then rebooked my flight to get the fock out of Vegas.

I lost on the trip, shouldve won, but I have a gambling/drinking problem.

All I feel to update for now, no great stories because Jay was asleep most the time or when we did go out he was belligerant drunk trying to pick fights with guys for no reason so I elected to go to sleep that night.

Just had the following sent to me by e-mail

This is an account of a night out with dudu, written by moose4life. It is posted here exactly the way it was sent to me, without any edits or changes of any kind.

I had absolutely NOTHING to do with the following:

"Dudu's- big adventure! All night dudu talked about getting a fricken rub and tug from an asian massage parlor.
Obviously being a savy and smart person...dudu google searches for good "rub and tug" joints on the strip.
The soon to be wasted dudu found someones post where they went to find a "good time" at one of these places,
but essentially they got placed in an awkward situation with nothing more than a set of blue balls and short 500+ dollars.
Well, after after dudu either busted the tournament---or got set over set in a 15k pot, dudu was on his quest.
Mission one: Bring jay along for safety and comfort in an embarrassing and drunken ordeal. Jay's Status- "Lets go
find hookers!!!" Jay soon fell asleep due to his vitamin depletion at about 7 pm. Objective- Fail
Mission two: Get wasted- Dudu's status: highly intoxicated at the weeeeee hours of the night. Objective: Success
Mission three: Find the "rub and tug" joint. Dudu's Status: drunk but aware enough to ask the cab driver to wait. Objective: complete
Mission four: Get the "rub and tug". Dudu flirts with the pretteist one in the place... whats going on in Dudu's
head "I am getting me a rubbbb and tuggggg baby. After "dealing" with the con artists, dudu gets teased in a room for
about 30 minutes ( sounding familiar yet?) After about $400-$500, the lady throws him out with a set of blue balls
and short money. Objective: Fail. (The kid on the internet did warn him, but dudu thinks he can run good everytime).
Mission five: Get out alive! A huge black guy now escorts the fairly sober dudu down a sketchy narrow back ally.
Dudu tells the guy... "dude, i just want to get the fuck out of here..." as dudu slowly backs away. Guy lets dudu pass
and dudu runs into the cab...gets back to the venetian and passes out. Objective: Mega fail!
Now the best part is how dudu described the situation in the morning... "i am so embarrassed..." that's all he could
say as he told Jay ( who had recovered with about 18 hours of sleep) and I the story... we were laughing so hard. What dudu did next
does not belong on this blog,
and i am sure the 4 readers arent even old enough to hear about his solo expedition into the bathroom with his
laptop.
The next story is about dudu failign once again, nothing new...just reinstating the obvious. We will take this into a third person perspective.
Dudu and moose go to teph's house for some BBQing and to chill. Ratio- 4 guys: 3 Girls. Effective ratio for dudu- 1 Dudu: 1 Bangable girl. Dudu gets
wasted and we proceed to go to the casino. As moose, teph, dudu, and 2 girls enter the casino, dudu decides to takea stroll on the 2-3 foot ledge, over the six
foot wall, just outside of the 6 floor of the parking garage. Fall= death or vitamin depleted Jay pushing drunken dudu around for eternity in a wheelchair. The always
sober/super moose rescues dudu and death averted. Moose then gets hustled by dudu's girl. Bet: 30 minutes dudu gets thrown out of casino or off the table. Time of bet:11:00.
Wager:$50. Girl then escorts dudu around the casino for thirty minutes and moose loses. Hustled/owned. 11:40- Dudu throws a tip at the blackjack dealer and flips out on
johnny- the biggest douche ever. Dudu leaves table and dealer tells pit boss they arent allowed back.(moose would have won the bet). 2 hours later, dudu
drops 3,000+ in drunken blackjack. Dudu is hammered and moosey wants to go to bed. Moose gets dropped off at the rio, as the rest go to the strip. 4:00am dudu
falls asleep on the strip ( Literally on the strip), and teph throws him into a taxi. 4:20 am dudu puts girl in headlock as she refuses to enter tthe room...teph intervenes and
dudu fails again. GG.
too lazy to write more, or spell check..."

Someone should really update this...

I can't remember half this trip but it was interesting....I think moose kept a diary so we'll let him guest blog.

Oh, The Race

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

I Think I Have Figured Out The Root Of My Gambling

Ok, so I am sitting waiting for action today, 1 tabling and I am bored, so I am checking Hockey Cards online.

I decided that this is the root of my gambling, when I was like 6 I started collecting cards and remember thinking there was money in this by the time I was 12 or so, and I used to try to explain to my dad it was profitable. I would never like to buy cards that were already open, I collected a certain group of players but I liked to "pull" them from the pack you know. This was gambling! Sports cards turned me into a gambler!

Man looking at boxes today, I can remember when I was young I would write down a whole list of boxes I would want (and of course never get cause I was a poor kid) but man I could go to town on some hockey cards today! If I had the money I do now back then I would have been like a crack head with those cards....

I gambled at pool too for a while, though I could never had made a living even as a street bum at it, I just liked to gamble, then poker came...

K Neat story huh?

So I have been banging out HU sitgos all fkin month for this "race" promo.

At the beginning I thought I could get to the top tier, then I realized they set it up to where it is literally impossible. So maybe I can get 5k out of it somehow, which is ok I guess....

I dont think I have put enough volume in this month at them anyway, I have tried but it's hard to get action repeatedly, or I sit for 90 minutes without a game then 6 people want to play at one time.... it is weird.

I have managed 504 games for the month 200$ and 400$, I haven't played much cash but I have made a bit playing HU and some scarce 6m which I am trying to avoid after my disasterous downswing.

FTP is letting me run ok, I have been playing 5-10 FR on there the last few days and am up 12 BI just 1-2 tabling... I will be broke on there in a week don't worry.


Here is a neat hand from that


Oh forgot this blog is gay and doesn't let me paste.

Basically, utg with 1550$ limps, SB completes I check BB with A4hh

Flop A A 9 with 2 spades

SB chk Me chk UTG 29$

SB fold Me raise to 100$ utg reraise to 225$ and I call

Turn A - board A A 9 A

I donk out 280 he raises to 750 I ship he calls with Q9.... fun stuff.

One day I will post some pics of my house and stuff, but man that is a lot of work for someone who crawls from my computer to my game chair and ps3 back to my computer to the fridge back to the computer then to sleep....

One day my friends

I know we haven't been updating...

So here's an old screenshot I found from soem HU battles vs jerry. Not sure if I had posted it or not before....if I did oh well.

I wrote half a draft for an actual update but haven't finished it so bear with me. Also have a dude working on a real site...so anyone who wants to have a blog, can be blog with us.

Yes, I am lazy.

Also I boxed today for the very first time in a looooooong time...well ghetto Boxed...sparred with my friend at 1am in a public park...and got a severe ass whooping.

My face and head hurt.

I've figured out what I've been doing wrong

In order to win at poker, one must play as absolutely transparent as possible, wait to make hands, and never give your opponent[s] the benefit of being creative. if they bet they have it.

I've figured it out.

One problem: It's hard to make pairs.

Still No Pics Of House, But Hey I AM UPDATING

Ok, so I have been on mad tilt lately, I am playing bad, running bad, doing bad, I am mad, it is sad.

So I was on one of those upswings, recovering for the year, and then I have shot off this past week, so I am now trying to tone it down and get it fixed, permanently I hope.

But none the less I am running so far below EV too for the past week. I mentally said as soon as my EV graph goes back to normal (neutral, not up or down but it would have to cross into up slightly) from where it was I was going to put 1000$ of my own money in a tourney on Merge for the forum in celebration, and put a bounty on myself probably, sounds silly, but I was really going to do it, and I was so close to back to neutral on there, was under 10k away but we are a landslide from that now. One day this will happen I hope.

I have decided not to leave my house more than twice a month for leisure purposes (drinking, golf, which golf = drinking) until I have obtained 1$ profit for the year. This should take a while, I have been playing 12 hours a day for the last 4 days, maybe more.... and I am having fun atleast. Enjoying playing again, even though I just spewed off a ton and I am stuck miserably I am happy for some reason.



I am getting fat.... I must fix this too. I am not overweight by any means, but my gut is starting to get there, and it is annoying... Like I should have this deal to where every time I take a quick smoke break, I have to do 20 pushups 20 situps and maybe 20 squats or something, I mean that would add up to like 200 a day, and would be good, but I am so lazy.... Jay seems to be a member of a gym, this is too much work for me, this is his only escape from poker, where as I go out binge drinking, golfing, or to my hockey games. Sadly hockey isn't enough to keep me in shape.

Ummm, I hired a personal assistant to come to my house once or twice a week to cook me some meals to eat on, clean, do laundry, go to the store for me, stuff I am too lazy to do once again, but atleast when she is here, I spend all my time playing poker to not seem like I am lazy, even though I look lazy because I wear sweats with my feet reclined on my desk watching my tv while I play, but hey I am playing so it is beneficial.

The casino like 90 minutes from me just opened the greatest game in the world, it is a 10-20 game with 5k min 5k max and you can buy 75% of the big. This game is sick sick juicy. Only runs the first Monday of the month but there is like 50k on the table and only one competent player plays in it and a couple others who are fairly competent. So now I get to go up there every first Monday play that, stay the night (which I get rooms comped now in a 4 star hotel because I am a pit degen, luckily it is all ultimate holdem not blackjack and I am actually up big on it, I run good, anyone who has ever played ultimate holdem, do NOT bet trips, or you are lacking intelligence towards poker) then the 5-10 game goes on Tuesday so it is actually motivating to go up there when it is just not one day that I get to play.

No other real news... probably a ton of stories I have forgotten about while I haven't been posting, I will try to post and gain back some of our readers, it is a ghost town here I am sure. Definitely when Vegas rolls around Jay and I will keep some day to days going there of the stuff we do that is entertaining (mostly Jay letting every woman know that her ass is nice in his New York New York accent and slang)

A response

This is a blog I wrote in response to a blog written by Hunter "BeachJustice" Bick.

I'd like to apologise beforehand for any grammatical or spelling errors or incoherent writing. I wrote this in notepad while multi-tabling and am too lazy to proof read or re-write anything. Also, I'd like to apologise if the manner of my writing seems angry or annoyed...while some of the things in Hunter's blog
didn't sit well with me, I am far more annoyed at dropping 8k this session. Oh, who am I kidding, the 3 of you who keep up with this blog know very well that I am an eternally angry and annoyed human being. :)

BeachJustice, I would like to welcome you to my blog and hope you stop by whenever you get the urge to read some angry writing from a mean individual. Or a drunk hillbilly (daduweewah)

Please keep in mind this is my opinion. You may agree of disagree, but like everyone with an opinion, I am fairly certain that my opinion is the right one. If you see things differently, feel free to write a rebuttal in the comments section or leave a link there.


So without further adieu:

I used the same format Hunter did. His text is first and my responses follow in Bold.



The term "bumhunter" gets thrown around like crazy these days, and it basically makes no sense at all. Originally the term was coined to describe someone who sits around waiting for heads up action, but refuses to play anyone who is not a total fish. Then it started to mean someone who only plays bad players but not anyone good, so the meaning started applying to more and more people, but the concept remained the same: heads up player who only plays weak players. Some people look down on that, which is their right, but then they bash bumhunters for their high winrate and high earnings by saying they suck at poker because they bumhunt. Alright fine, I don't really agree with that, but at least there's a reasonable thought process behind that argument when it applies only to heads up players.

But now "bumhunter" is being applied liberally to 6max players. How is it even possible to bumhunt at 6max? The very nature of 6max, and the reason I'm getting back into it, is that you simply cannot avoid playing with good players if they are at your table. You have to play pots with them, period. So the answer to that question is, well if there's a fish and 4 regs at the table, then you're bumhunting.

That's just ridiculous, it literally makes no sense.

So what are the criteria for being a 6max bumhunter? Here are the reasons that seem to make up the prevailing "wisdom" and why they are

so ridiculous.




This is just incorrect. First of all, just because you're at a table with another good player does not mean you have to play pots with them. It is possible to go out of your way to not play pots with them...as many "heads up bumhunters" do when they join a 6 max game that is populated by some combination of weak and strong players.

Let's use Hunter's example of 1 fish + 4 regs at a 6max table and our hero takes the 6th seat. He plays 2 orbits, the fish busts, hero then sits out. Four regs continue playing each other, hoping more fish would sit. A fish sits down, hero then sits back in. This is the very definition of bumhunting a 6max game. It does make sense and is absolutely not ridiculous.


#1. They only sit at tables with fish.

First off, why would sitting at a table with 5 other players be a particularly profitable situation? Are we trying to make money at poker or are we here to measure various body parts? I didn't realize that the egos of online poker players have eclipsed their greed. If that's what's happened, then poker just got a lot more profitable.

Secondly, a "fish" on most midstakes tables is someone who's playing a 35 vpip. Thats probably not a profitable style for them, but they are by no means a 60/5 type guy who is bleeding money. Yet even if you make the effort to find tables with one weak player, 80% of your competition is still good thinking players. So if you have a winrate of 3 or 4 BB/100 and are one of the top earners at your limit, despite the fact that everyone tries to find weak players (why else are the waiting lists long when Scout shows up), then you are a bumhunter and suck at poker. The fact is when 80% of your competition are tough, good players and you never have an edge against them, you can't win at 3 BB/100 just by having one fish at your table. This whole train of thought makes absolutely no sense.


I am not exactly sure what Hunters first paragraph is trying to say...why wouldn't sitting with 5 other players be profitable?

Nevertheless, people play for different reasons and maybe some play for ego or a challenge or what not, but many players who are siting in tough games are either pushing small edges over slightly weaker regulars because there are, shocker coming here, no other games available...or they are trying to keep the game alive in the hopes that a weaker player may sit down.

The second paragraph is Hunters idea of what a fish is at midstakes, his idea of the competition, and that even if you game select then you are still supposedly playing tough players. Okay, great...but irrelevant. If you are a bumhunter, it doesn't mean you are bad at poker. Chances are, if you are a bumhunter you may not be as good at poker as someone who isn't a bumhunter but it certainly doesn't mean you can't be better. However, if you go out of your way to play at tables with only complete fish and then stop playing the second the fish leaves, you are a bumhunter! Simple. It is completely irrelevant that there may be good players at the table when you're there.

You are there because the fish is there. Bumhunter, fishhunter, same thing. Again, makes complete sense.


#2. They leave as soon as the fish leaves, and this in turn is bad for games.

Let's get something straight. EVERYONE does this at mid/high stakes. Everytime I play a session, I'll open what looks like a good table from the lobby, only to find the entire table sitting out. Or I'll notice that one of my 12 tables is not running because the fish sat out, so everyone else did too. People don't even wait for their big blind anymore, they just sit out. This is STANDARD, everyone does it, so singling out anyone specific as a bum hunter when they do this is simply ridiculous.

I mean, when Scout leaves the game does everyone keep playing? Of course not, he's driving the action, and he's why everyone is there. This is just how poker works, but suddenly everyone is a bum hunter if they decide to waste their time playing a bunch of other good regulars instead of using that time to find a more profitable table? Some say that you should play an orbit to "keep the game going." Who cares if that one table keeps going or not, there are plenty to choose from, we're online here, its not like we're in a casino where if our table breaks we might have to wait two hours to get another seat.

And how is this bad for the games? A fish leaves, the table breaks. A new fish shows up elsewhere, the table fills up, the waiting list fills up, the fish busts, everyone clears out, and this process repeats itself. This is how its always been, at least since early 2004 when I started playing. And if this is actually somehow bad for the games, why aren't the games dead when everyone behaves in this exact manner, and has for years?


Let's get something straight. NOT EVERYONE does this at mid/high stakes. But yes, it's possible Hunter opens the table finds a table full of regs and bumhunters or super duper game selectors if that's more your alley...and...that is exactly what is wrong with online poker today! What a shocker! I am not sure if this is standard, it may be standard for some people, it may not be standard for others.

Certainly not everyone, as Hunter would have you believe, does this. And guess what, those that do...are...wait for it...BUMHUNTERS! I find it appalling that he says "everyone does it" or it's the "standard"...so because a bunch of people do soemthing, it is acceptable? That's a great theory...why be part of the solution when it's easier being part of the problem? Because everyone does it, right?

Using scout is a great example! Scout, a known losing player, who I am going to assume is well off financially. So this player sits at a 6max 25-50 game that is instantly filled up, this very same player knows he's a losing player and is probably playing for fun, just to have a good time. He burns through 3 buyins and quits. Okay so then the game instantly breaks and all these good regulars quit.

Let's say we had some 5-10 reg watching and maybe he's a weaker player and wanted to take a shot in this 25-50 game. That's an extra buyin to win. Maybe there was a fish, who isn't as loaded as scout, watching and wanted to sit down but got scared when all of the players suddenly sat out to avoid playing each other. That's a buyin. Maybe a fish came 10 minutes too late to find no game available to join because all these regulars think it's the "standard" to quit when a fish does. That's another buyin.

How is a "fish" even supposed to sit down when there aren't games going? In order for a fish to sit, there needs to be a game available to sit in! How is a game supposed to go if everyone decides to wait till a fish shows up? Apparently, I'm really playing at the wrong times because I don't remember the last time I saw a complete fish just sitting and waiting for action...other than bumhunters at heads
up tables.

I think Hunter may still think it is 2004. But it's not. It's 2010. Games are much tougher, fish are scarce. You can't pull up any site and find a fish at every table or loads of tables to join. For example, opening fulltilt I see 15 full 6max games going...out of 96k people online! That's 90 occupied seats. And I didn't bother to check how many are multitabling 6 or 8 of those 15 games. The fact is, the mid/high stakes player pools are shrinking, at least on us sites and not trying to start games or keep them going to welcome recreational players HURTS the games.

Just because the games aren't completely dead, doesn't mean that they aren't dying or at the very least could be better than they are.


#3. They don't help start new tables.

This one is just flailing, here's why. Everyone knows one of the easiest ways to get a seat with a fish is to start a new table, this is online 6max poker 101. Fish don't sign up for waiting lists, they grab the first seat they see. As a result, starting a new table gets them to sit with you, this is basic obvious stuff. So wouldn't it stand to reason that any "bumhunter" would be starting lots of new tables? The argument against that is they "hate playing shorthanded or heads up."

Maybe they can't handle a HU match against a good player while playing 12 tables? They know that, but they also know they are walking away from a potentially +EV spot if a fish shows up. So how exactly are they bumhunting when they pass up this opportunity?I might be one of the few people who often welcomes heads up action when the table dies against a regular, simply because I've played so much HU that I think I have a HU edge when we both have 12 6max tables going. But the fact is if I'm in a couple tough spots elsewhere, its often better to just close the HU table so I can focus on the big-pot decisions. But when someone plays 3 HU hands against me and
then quits, do I think less of him as a person? Do I lose respect for his 6max game?

Do I rush to 2+2 to call him out? Of course not, he's making the best EV decision for his current situation and doesn't want to play heads up or 3 handed while he has a bunch other tables open. How is this not common sense? Why is this such a big deal?

Here's the final reason this take is so ridiculous. Since when were there a shortage of mid-stakes games going on Stars and FTP? Why is everyone all of a sudden so concerned about starting new tables? Why does anyone care about this? Until you get to $10/$20 there are plenty of games going, and new tables fill up quickly. I guess I didn't get the memo that outlined that as a professional poker, one of my obligations is to play with other professionals to start new tables because the 150 already sitting there aren't enough.


Here, I am in agreement with Hunter. Fish don't join lists. The easiest way to get a fish is to start a new table. However, where we disagree is that bumhunters start new tables or games. It is more often than not that they only join a table when a fish joins. I can't begin to count the number of times a reg has set at a table for hours waiting for action. A bad player with 20bb shows up, doubles through the regular once or twice and then the table instantly fills with regulars. 6max bumhunting 101.

Paragraph 2...Hunter plays all players unless he's busy. Totally fine. Nobody plays heads up when they have 12 6max games going. Moving on.

Why does anyone care about starting new games? Other than the obvious need to have games going?

5-10 Games going while I am writing this: Fulltilt: 96k people online, 15 games going. Stars: 170k people online, 10 games going. If you look at smaller sites, 5k people online, 1 game going. And all of this is including shallow and cap games. How in the world is this an abundance of games? What am I missing here?

And of course no says you have to sit and play anyone or help start a game or anything. Hell, feel free to be a parasite and join the game created by the two regulars who spent an hour playing each other heads up hoping that a fish would join. You should immediately run to grab a seat in this game, quickly stack the fish, then leave as fast possible until another fish joins. But you are not a
bumhunter...oh, wait a minute...

#4. They only buy in for enough to cover the fish.

Again, this is standard, smart gambling. Barry Greenstein, in his book "Ace on the River," page 96 said this: "If you are serious about making money, don't put yourself in situations where you can lose a lot and win a little." So if $10/$20 is above your bankroll, but there's a fish with $1k on the table, should you not sit because you aren't comfortable putting $2k on the table or should you sit with $1100 to cover the fish? No one's short-stacking for 20bbs to cover another short-stacking fish, that's just ridiculous and its not the issue here. If the fish has $1k on this table and you buy-in for $2k, the most you can win from the fish is $1k, but you can lose $2k to a good player. That's not a very good option in general, especially if the limit is higher than your normal game. So why not put in enough to cover the fish while also protecting your bankroll? Since when did everyone hate 50bb stacks so much? They don't ruin games like 20bb shortstackers do. What exactly is the problem here.


This is fine. People can buy in for whatever they want if they're scared. Scared money is welcome too...as long as it's in play.



Conclusion

I just think some of Hunters views are simply incorrect and some of the things he talks about are detrimental to the longevity of this game we love to hate.

This has already been a long enough and very repetitive blog so I'm going to wrap this up here. Judge for yourselves.

Since I'm playing poker again...

I may as well whine about it.

And we all know whining is fun, but the following blog full of ridiculous whining is justified:


Holy shit. I am 4 or 5 hours in to one of the most ridiculous sessions I have played this year...and there have been more than a few. I am currently stuck around 6300$ and it doesn't feel too bad considering I was stuck around 23k palying 10-20.

There are many many ways you can run bad. You can get sucked out on, coolered, whatever....but if you're like me, you can run into one of the most aggressive donks I have ever seen, while they are on a super get smashed in the face with the deck five times over and get blessed by god, jesus, allah, jehova, buddah and whatever else mythical super natural power you or anyone else has ever believed in.

How's that for a run on sentence? I'nm still currently 3 tabling so deal with it.

Anyway back to this insane pit of fire I threw myself in...everybody knows I play as many hands as humanly possible and I could not make a pair or a draw to save my life. Okay, that's a lie, i made a a FEW, very few pairs...but then the board ran off horrendously and I had to fold. Or I would call and get shown a better hand. It was sickening. It was the epitome of a sick heater.

I was just getting 3bet and potted on non stop and had no hands to combat with. I was stuck like 14k at 10-20 HU and like 9 at 6max. The game was so ridiculous, and I was so card dead, I jammed 8's preflop for 5k. I ended up playing like a 16k pot all in preflop with kings vs queens which held and was the begining of my rally.

The whole session was pretty annoying. I am rusty and out of practice playng 4 different stkaes with 2 heads up and one being a short stack while the other is insanely deep...yada yada...need to play more poker to be in game form. Add in that I had to chase around one of our newly merged in leaches and this was a complete catastrophe.

Speaking of this leach...this complete Ahole, in a 6max game, where the whole table is getting murdered by a crazy fish, tries to get the fish to play him heads up. All because the fish was simultaneously playing me heads up...nevermind that I was down like 10k to him at that point...the audacity of these people. This is why there should be a KOTH system so that these people can't even sit at a HU table. or at the very least an option to have Brock Lesnar punch them in the face whenever they do something so classless.

I will be writing a more serious blog on on these matters very soon.

So anyway, here we are...stuck 6k and 1 tabling. Cause when the huge fish leaves...the games break. SURPRISE!

Today reminded me of this time last year...some major fish showed up and start multi tabling the 5-10 6max games and literally destroyed everyone while on the sickest heater. I remember him beating dudu and I for a combined 20k or something one day. He was just on fire...and with our volatile stiles, it was inevitable. I remember dudu figuratively scratching his head on AIM, telling me that maybe this guy wasn't a fish and me laughing at him. This went on for 3-4 days...until...another surprise...heater ended, profit lost, and never heard from again. I think 3up took 20 off him or something...whatever it doesn't matter. What matters is, I'm annoyed I have to run into such infernos every once in a while and then work so hard to get my money back before it is given away to bumhunters...I think i'd almost rather lose to people no one else wants to play...that way I have the option of playing them anytime I want.

And I just 3 outed someone, so all is well again. Only down 4k. It's a win by my standards.

The only time 3up has ever said anything smart

I remember many years ago, a very tired Jay and very tired 3up were sitting around at 3am talking poker on aim and why we are so terrible at it and, for the first and only time in his life, 3up said something smart:

"To be any good at this game, you have to realize you suck."

Truer words have never been spoken.

But like with anything, over time we evolve, adjust, learn, and grow:

To be any good at this game, you have to knowingly, at some point in your life, play against someone who is so much better than you, you can't even understand the plays they are making.

That's why 3up and dudu suck. They will never admit they have ever played anyone who's better than them...forget about anyone who's ever owned their soul on every street!

Just ask them. F'n ego maniacs! =]

Also, it's 2am, and I want to sleep but I am at 3 tables with dumb fish. One of them is a huge Ahole to boot. How can I sleep?

Ok, I feel like rambling randomly for a little while since 3 tabling bores the hell out of me.


Jesus christ, they are so bad. I fold TP on an A high board after a bet and a call and they check the river down to chop w Q high.

There's this one fish from china who is insanely bad but keeps having it and playing terrible so I pay off.

After playing for a while in real games on the majors, it's amusing how truly bad the winning regs are on smaller sites. Majors was the right word since it's like going from the MLB to like a recreational softball league with underhanded pitching and a 72 year old grandmother at first base.

Hit n runs. <3

You know what sucks? When donks give my money to other donks that leave the table. I don't much like that.

Misread hand, cost me $60. Wee.

Just made a mistake.

Like assholes, there are 2 types of haters. Funny haters who hate for shits n giggles, really aren't jealous of anything, and could give 2 shits about the success of others and just worry about their own shit.
And then there are people who are truly jealous and hate becaue of it. Or they hate because they feel someone is undeserving.
Sometimes these haters come in the form of closet haters - the worst kind of hater. Closet haters don't openly hate but are twice as jealous as open haters. They never miss an oppertunity to mention someones success, talent, wealth, whatever...and they always whine and bitch about their own misfortune...no matter how successful they are/arent.

I forgot how good Godsmack is.

3up just signed on, so I no longer have to entertain myself by writing this non sense.

Running bad.

Playing meh...but running mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Lost 2500ish playing 1-2 through 3-6.

Nearly lost 3500.

Almost lost 10buyins playing 1-2HU.

This is cool. I play poker 2x a month and lose, 5-6k at a time.

More later, now bust a shortstack and sleeep.

Not gonna lie....

I was like in the midst of taking pictures of the house, so I could update my side of the blog, but I got reallllly lazy... maybe later. mayyyybe later
