Welllll I won the Full Tilt TLB though it cost me 2K since I ran like 100% dog shit for 5 hours while I tried to catch this Korean fella who never sleeps and has 2 people playing his account and has logged 20K games on FT but loses money and for some reason wants take my TLB from me. So I had a 2K wing in 25-75$ games but atleast I placed first on the leaderboard, if I had just kept sleeping I would have gotten half the cash (500$) and not gone on a 2K swing downwards. Also why the hell is the 1st place for TLB so fkin low, 1000$??? When there are hundred of players running for it? Should be like 5K-10K for as much money as FT makes.
So at the end of the session I have one shot to make profit today, in a 30$R I make final table with 2nd place stack and play worse than I ever have.. I manage 6th, I never slowed down, kept raising raising raising with no hands getting moved in on or missing flops. 1st 4K me 800$, I rule.. So this in turn sparks me to play more games, so I am still playing right now and have decided not to sleep til I have plad 36 hours, or profited. GL Me.

Learn from my mistakes!
Don't watch random movies...especially ones where Keanu Reeves shows up. Street Kings sucked. F+. The + is for Hugh Laurie.
Match Point was sort of interesting...and by sort of I mean the most interesting part was how hot Scarlett Johansson looked. Baby, you can apply to be my GF anytime. Feel free to holla: fcukmoney at gmail.com
Poker: lol.
I know this update sucked, but at least it was better than Dan lieberman or whoever the hell we have posting here now.
Jay
P.s. Attention would be spammers and random con-men / advertisers: Stop e-mailing me about stupid 2 cent per click link exchange programs or whatever various schemes you plan to plot against me. You are all evil and in case you hadn't noticed, we don't like money here very much...at least not in small amounts. Offer me a Ferrari and maybe a date with Scarlett Johansson and we can do business. Otherwise, try houseofpokerblues.com. That dude will put up anything for a buck.

FK YOOO JAY I BLOG FINE!
Well, it turns out I am not very good at poker. I can not win a pot in a merge ringgame. I play like a pussy and let people drill draws on me. I can however win a few MTTs, TLB is mine on FT this month and that is only the real upside to this month. Would be a legit month if I could avoid merge, the place that used to treat me like a human being.
I bought a badass nintendo chair this week... (gaming chair) and some accessories so I play on my 42' LCD now, which I found out has a PC setting so it looks perfectly clear and I can sit back and play for 24 hours now with no problems now other than taking a piss with 16-20 games running and being insanely greasy by the end of the session.
Someone plz buy Jay a PS3 as he can not afford one.
I do suck at blogging....

3up broke his computer, someone hacked my blog.
I know some of you have been wondering where our version of Deuce Bigalow is...and by some of you I mean the one friend he has, not the imaginary horde of women throwing their panties at his feet...well...no he's not dead. This fish broke his computer and donated his laptop to charity or something. I'm not sure because all I could understand in the 3 minutes I talked to him is that he is very mad at the stock market and plans to make us a lot of money in the next 6 months.
Cool. I could always use a lot of money. More money = more hate. And we all know I'm a hater.
Now for less important things and people: I don't know who this zimmerman guy is, how he showed up here, or what he wants, but he appears to be stupid and have no regard for money, people, or the consequences of his actions. He'll fit right in.
Oh, I almost forgot. I have a retarded friend who wants to bet me $5,000 that I can't win $10,000 in 3 months playing only 200NL and specifically on UB. lol? Would be a total waste of my time for $5,000, so I'm trying to get him to up the bet to at least 10K. The only problem is, I've pretty much boycotted UB because they are thieves and morons who don't deserve my a penny of my rake. On the other hand, making my friend feel like an idiot and taking his 10K would feel pretty good...decisions, decisions....

Played a short session.
Bleh. I don't play well when I don't want to play + I'm rusty.
So I obv play 2kNL:
Got coolered a few hands but I should have gotten away from 1 and made a questionable river call in a different hand.
Donked KK into AA in a 4bet pot where villain prob has AA 90% of the time and QQ10% and KK like once every 6 months or something. Was actually really really considering folding but I'm a donk. -2k
Then I called a large river bet with an overpair in a large pot on a dry board where I was fine with calling 2 streets but should have probably pitched the river. Instead, I decide to look the dude up and he shows me 2 aces. Which wasn't surprising, I don't think he bluffs that river with our dynamics for the day. Asghdasd!!! I really don't think call/fold ratio was as close as it may have seemed to me...but gotta live in the moment. Meh. -3k
Overall I sucked and finished up by breaking even.
I feel the rust and still have no desire to really play.
At least I'm updating right? All of you are heartless bastards who enjoy my misery. C'mon jay go play go update go lose some more money....oh wait...that's pretty much my train of thought too.

Obligatory monthly post.
Yes. I suck at blog posting...but that's why we have 3 readers. And that's why these 3 readers keep coming back here. Hey, at least you guys are loyal!
So I finished up August by winning more than most people make in a year. Go meeee. Who cares? I suck anyway cause I'm down like 15kish in September and I've only played like one day online and 4-5 live. Clearly winning is NOT for me.
So what have I been up to in September? Well...I was pretty sick of poker so I didn't play much and obviously skipped WCOOP. So did 3up. In fact, he didn't play the 10k HORSE like he said he would. Pansy (feel free to replace pansy with an expletive of your choice). Word is not bond eh, Mr. Diamond? I am still officially the dumbest and most degenerative contributor of this blog. YES!!?
So back to that 1 day I've played online: I sucked. I busted my FTP acct (AGAIN). Dear FTP: I hate you. Yes I played pretty badly, but I always do. I was experimenting with some weird HU styles just so I can say I learned something from a raptor/cts vid...but I didn't.
Live Poker: These people are so bad at poker that I must be the worst poker player alive because I keep losing. In fact, they are so horrific that breaking even is a SIN!
2 funny hands very briefly:
1. I flop the nut flush vs low flush & top set multiway. I fold it face up on the river, dude shows me the obvious straight flush. I lose ALMOST the minimum. I don't know who should be embarrassed more...those 2 guys for sucking so much or me for not losing the absolute minimum.
2. There's a straddle, a restraddle and a sleeper. I am first to act on the button. I raise more than half my stack and get 4 callers. I do not win. Q7dd scoops.
So what have I been doing if I'm not playing cards? Going out, causing trouble and debauchery. I just made an $80 purchase at condommania.com. They like me. I qualified for a shipping discount! Ballin'.
Also I've learned that medical & dental labs, offices and pretty much anyone connected with medicine makes a ton of money but they have to go to school for a very long time. There is only one solution: I must open one of these offices and hire all these people who went to school for a very long time and piggyback off their intelligence. There is no other choice.
I'm thinking of buying some property so I am going to spend some time driving around and low balling desperate people. We'll see what happens. NYC Real Estate is insanely expensive. A million dollars buys a small closet in the hood.
Now: I just played poker. I am very rusty. I lost desire to play after 20hands. This is not good. There is a slight chance I will be going to Vegas in October for about a week. My friend Dudu will not be there, so if you'd like to take his place and flip quarters for money with me, holla via the comments or fcukmoney[at]gmail.com

No WBCOOP for me! :( + 3up is insane.
Bleh. I missed registering for the world blogger championships on stars. I never got an e-mail about it. Maybe stars is sick of my shennenigans? I always play this tourny...it's super soft and pretty decent time/reward wise. I went deep in it last year only to be 3 outed. Doh!
Anyway, even though my tournament game is rusty (when is my tourny game NOT rusty?) I'll probably play some WCOOP events. 3up, of course, is crazy so he decided to play the 10k horse. Psycho. Of course I can top him and play the 25k HU holdem....but I'm sure all the heads up sng specialists will play and I'm probably neutral ev at best...and i'd have to find people stupid enough to buy chunks of me. And frankly, I don't have 25k laying around to donate to some HU SNG specialist like sifosis or whoever is going to lucksack this thing.
I guess 3up edges me out in stupid degeneracy for September...shagdjhadfdg! I'm embarassed. This calls for heavy drinking.
/end whining
Jay
P.s. If you have 25k laying around you'd like to burn, shoot me an e-mail before september 14th and we can burn it together! :D

Will you be my friend?
So one of my favorite sites (CarbonPoker, don't ask) used to have this great little feature...like a buddylist where you could put people on it and track their games. Think of it like a fishfinder...it was a work of genius. A simple double click on a fishys name and their donk transmittor would alert you to their location. I loved.
Of course anything good has to immediately be destroyed...yup they got rid of it and instead put together and irritating and clumsy friends system. The thing is awful and I'm so spoiled by the buddylist, that I refuse to use it. You basically have to request friendship from people and have them accept in order to track their location. I can't be bothered.
My friend Dan, however, has been relentlessly asking every fish he could find to be his friend! He msged me the other day with "this is great, 5 fish agreed to be my friends." I couldn't stop laughing for 20 minutes.
Of course, the day this thing came out, half the site started requesting my friendship (and for good reason since I've been donating for no reason), so I had to immediately block all requests.
No. This fish will not be your friend!

Yep. Burnout.
Burnout confirmed. Playing like crap. FPS + leveling myself.
Shot off again for no reason. Also played a needless 20 or so hour marathon session...not good either. Maybe a break is needed...although I did just stack a decent player on FTP 3x.
Maybe 3up should blog about getting one outed in Omaha for a 500bb pot.

I donked off hard today.
Really disgusted with the way I played. Could have saved money in a bunch of spots. Also should of quit way before but didn't want to leave cause major donks were deep and still playing. Didn't help that I couldn't hit any flops, but that's not really the point...I should have broke even today or at worst lost 1500$...def not $3100.
Haven't played this bad in a while. Might need a break...logging lots of hours and lots of hands...could be burned out. Sigh.
Props to my boy Chico for final tabling an FTOPS event.
3up has gone soft.
I suck at poker.
Nothing new, really.

I want to whine!
Okay, so before I get to the good part (obviously the whining), I'll tell you fish what's been happening since the last update:
3up sucks and busted out of that retard poker tour or whatever the hell he was supposed to play reaaal quick. Then he flew to vegas and busted out of the 3k horse even quicker...something or other about some guy playing KQ in razz or something, I don't know...but he was like the 3rd person out. I had a piece of him there too...money well spent.
Was in vegas during June. Skipped the wsop events. Played cash games for 10 days straight...ran atrocious. Got coolered a bunch of times in unavoidable spots, couldn't make a draw, had some guy who looked like Jesus Christ play a hand horrendously and then check the flush to me on the river...thats a silent command for me to bet the pot with 7high. I ended up folding to his all in for like $100 more into a 2k pot or something. Pretty funny actually. Not really.
Live poker sucks. The only big pots I won I bluffed. The players are pretty bad but it's so boring and tedious, it felt like actual work. I worked hard for the pots I won. Also live players suck. I know I already said that but I don't think I can stress that enough...I wish I could 8 table against them online.
Let's see...what else...oh! A guy who referred to himself as "Snake" challenged me to 10K heads up in a 2-5 game but backed out. Funny story. From the begining:
I'm donking it up in a 2-5 game and there's a middle aged gentleman reading a newspaper between every hand...needless to say...this makes the already slow pace of live poker even slower...combined with my ADD, this isn't a good thing. Nevertheless, I didn't say anything partly because I thought maybe he'd finish up and partly because I was texting an ex gf between every hand too. Anyway, you have to picture this guy to fully understand his idiocy. He wore a jacket that said "snake", he wore a hat that said "snake", he had 3 card protectors, yep all of them snakes, and he liked to call himself snake.
So fast forward a few rounds, he takes a half hour to fold his hands preflop because he's busy reading his paper or something. Fine. I get into a pot with a guy to my left and am now facing a half pot river bet...I have like 3rd pair or something so I'm asking the guy questions trying to get info. Hell why else would you play live poker? If I wanted to autopilot, I'd do it online.
This pisses snake off to no end. He starts yelling for me to muck the hand already. Enough is enough. I flip on the guy with words of fury telling him to shut his mouth because he takes an hour to fold pre flop and he should mind his business while I'm in a hand. He apparently doesn't like my brash attitude and challenges me to "10k heads up right now!" lol. Idiot. I point out the fact that he's sitting in a 2-5 game with $250 and hasn't reloaded while everyone at the table has him covered 4-5x over and yet he's challenging me to 10k heads up...does he not realize how foolish he looks? Actually, that was a stupid question...dude is fascinated by a slimy reptile, he has no idea how stupid he is.
Anyway, snake seems to be hell bent on showing me who's boss. He stands up, and reaches his hand into his pocket as if to throw a stack of hundreds on the table so we could play...only one problem...his mouth keeps moving but his hand isn't coming out of his pocket with the money. Oops! Silly snake. The real problem is however that I don't have 10k on me either. The difference is...I have it to my name: I text my boy dan "Bring me 10k immediately. I'm about to get even for vegas" (I spent + lost somewhere between 11 & 13k in vegas so winning 10 would be nice).
Danny boy takes his sweet time but finally shows up. I'm excited. Snake has no idea what's coming. SNAKE, did you say you want to play for 10k? Get a dealer! Of course our boy snake immediately gets up, grabs what's left of his chips and heads over to the cage to cashout. Disaster avoided! Pitty.
I played some tournament towards the end of the trip and would have made day 2 if some dude who has never heard of deoderant didn't 2 out me. I was like 4-5 in chips with 1 level to go..dude limps UTG...he's never limped before...he's got a monster, fold to sb who completes...i see 2 aces in the bb and instapop it...UTG then immediately moves in. QBall on the turn and and i lose 3/4 my chips. Then open utg w/ AK, old lady moves in on me from the button we flip it, I lose. Then I just left. Donkaments lol. Old people lol. No deoderant. Not lol. I was suffocating.
Rest of the trip was clubbing and losing at blackjack, roullette, craps, sports betting and whatever else we could find. I lost at everything possible. Oh no wait, I won at flipping quarters! Yay!
Spent my bday VIP ballin at some club at the hard rock. 3up has to show off and bought some Dom Perignon at like $1k/bottle. Dom's nice and all but it sort of loses it's effect when you've been drinking saki and vodka all night.
Went to the Griffin VS Jackson UFC fight. Great card. First 2 fights we fantastic. Also, while I was rooting for Griffin, Jackson got robbed.
That's pretty much it for vegas. I'll leave the hardcore debauchury and shennenigans for a different time.
On to the best part: the whining!
My god I ran like absolute awfulness today! sahghdjas
I was actually on tilt for 20 minutes 3x. PUKEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
like 2/7 in coin flips but whatever who cares about the flips. Cute hands:
Get it in 99 Vs a4. HAaaaaaaa Ship to A4.
Get it in TT vs A4sooted. Same donk. He really likes A4. It keeps winning.
Dude limp reraises me. lol. I flop a set. He calls flop, raises turn. I decide it's time to play for stacks, he calls off with 9high flush draw. lol.
lol. lol? lol% lol* &lol?
My favorite hand: someone opens bbx5 lol. 4 people call. lol. I call with 33 from sb. we see A34 2 diamonds 6 ways. checks to huge donk who pots it. lol. button cold calls. lol. I ship the stack. Folds to button who tanks and calls off 80bb w/ T9dd. I have no chance.
Open AQhh from sb, fish 3bets me from bb, i 4bet, he donks it. I fist pump and snap call. AJ holds. Nice. I like.
Biggest pot: Button 800ish opens to bbx2. I call JTo from sb, bb calls. Flop: JT2 2 clubs. I think I have a club in my hand. DUnno. We shek shek to button who pots $60, I pops it to OneEighty, bb cold calls a buck 80. Button ships it in, I reship it for 4200, BB calls off 1k more. Oops?
Button: AcJx
BIg Blind: 89o
SHIP IT! But not to me.
So instead of being up 4-5k...I'm down like 2600 and sleepy. Waste of time this poker non-sense...let me tell you.
Also, I need to not vbet as thin vs total donks. It would help if I didn't try to get value from hands that are beating mine cause they play so bad!
I want to 2 out someone for like 3k. That would be nice. I would like very much. Yes.
Maybe I'll update again...sometime in november.

Hell why else would you play live poker? If I wanted to autopilot, I'd do it online.
This pisses snake off to no end. He starts yelling for me to muck the hand already. Enough is enough. I flip on the guy with words of fury telling him to shut his mouth because he takes an hour to fold pre flop and he should mind his business while I'm in a hand. He apparently doesn't like my brash attitude and challenges me to "10k heads up right now!" lol. Idiot. I point out the fact that he's sitting in a 2-5 game with $250 and hasn't reloaded while everyone at the table has him covered 4-5x over and yet he's challenging me to 10k heads up...does he not realize how foolish he looks? Actually, that was a stupid question...dude is fascinated by a slimy reptile, he has no idea how stupid he is.
Anyway, snake seems to be hell bent on showing me who's boss. He stands up, and reaches his hand into his pocket as if to throw a stack of hundreds on the table so we could play...only one problem...his mouth keeps moving but his hand isn't coming out of his pocket with the money. Oops! Silly snake. The real problem is however that I don't have 10k on me either. The difference is...I have it to my name: I text my boy dan "Bring me 10k immediately. I'm about to get even for vegas" (I spent + lost somewhere between 11 & 13k in vegas so winning 10 would be nice).
Danny boy takes his sweet time but finally shows up. I'm excited. Snake has no idea what's coming. SNAKE, did you say you want to play for 10k? Get a dealer! Of course our boy snake immediately gets up, grabs what's left of his chips and heads over to the cage to cashout. Disaster avoided! Pitty.
I played some tournament towards the end of the trip and would have made day 2 if some dude who has never heard of deoderant didn't 2 out me. I was like 4-5 in chips with 1 level to go..dude limps UTG...he's never limped before...he's got a monster, fold to sb who completes...i see 2 aces in the bb and instapop it...UTG then immediately moves in. QBall on the turn and and i lose 3/4 my chips. Then open utg w/ AK, old lady moves in on me from the button we flip it, I lose. Then I just left. Donkaments lol. Old people lol. No deoderant. Not lol. I was suffocating.
Rest of the trip was clubbing and losing at blackjack, roullette, craps, sports betting and whatever else we could find. I lost at everything possible. Oh no wait, I won at flipping quarters! Yay!
Spent my bday VIP ballin at some club at the hard rock. 3up has to show off and bought some Dom Perignon at like $1k/bottle. Dom's nice and all but it sort of loses it's effect when you've been drinking saki and vodka all night.
Went to the Griffin VS Jackson UFC fight. Great card. First 2 fights we fantastic. Also, while I was rooting for Griffin, Jackson got robbed.
That's pretty much it for vegas. I'll leave the hardcore debauchury and shennenigans for a different time.
On to the best part: the whining!
My god I ran like absolute awfulness today! sahghdjas
I was actually on tilt for 20 minutes 3x. PUKEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
like 2/7 in coin flips but whatever who cares about the flips. Cute hands:
Get it in 99 Vs a4. HAaaaaaaa Ship to A4.
Get it in TT vs A4sooted. Same donk. He really likes A4. It keeps winning.
Dude limp reraises me. lol. I flop a set. He calls flop, raises turn. I decide it's time to play for stacks, he calls off with 9high flush draw. lol.
lol. lol? lol% lol* &lol?
My favorite hand: someone opens bbx5 lol. 4 people call. lol. I call with 33 from sb. we see A34 2 diamonds 6 ways. checks to huge donk who pots it. lol. button cold calls. lol. I ship the stack. Folds to button who tanks and calls off 80bb w/ T9dd. I have no chance.
Open AQhh from sb, fish 3bets me from bb, i 4bet, he donks it. I fist pump and snap call. AJ holds. Nice. I like.
Biggest pot: Button 800ish opens to bbx2. I call JTo from sb, bb calls. Flop: JT2 2 clubs. I think I have a club in my hand. DUnno. We shek shek to button who pots $60, I pops it to OneEighty, bb cold calls a buck 80. Button ships it in, I reship it for 4200, BB calls off 1k more. Oops?
Button: AcJx
BIg Blind: 89o
SHIP IT! But not to me.
So instead of being up 4-5k...I'm down like 2600 and sleepy. Waste of time this poker non-sense...let me tell you.
Also, I need to not vbet as thin vs total donks. It would help if I didn't try to get value from hands that are beating mine cause they play so bad!
I want to 2 out someone for like 3k. That would be nice. I would like very much. Yes.
Maybe I'll update again...sometime in november.
Jay
P.s. VoxGibson is threatning to come back...if you read this blog...please for the love of all that is good leave comments saying that you don't want to read his drivel. I thought I finally got rid of him...but dudes like a cockroach.

So 3up isn't dead!
I thought this fool was laying in a ditch somewhere after a job gone bad...but instead he's apparently decided to take the live tournament scene by storm. He called me yesterday while I was weight lifting so I don't remember much of what was said except:
"It's a joke."
"It's so easy it should be illegal."
"They're dumber than you."
So after all that he of course offers to sell me a piece of his action...I like to burn money...how could I say no? So now I have an interest to sweat the HPT $1650 main event.
Can you sense my excitement?
He claimed to be really focused and playing well...after dropping like 50k or some sick # like that on FTP...yeah...anyway I figure in a month you should expect a a blog post that goes something like this...
"So I shoved on this donk and didn't hit my 4 outer." Followed by a graph detailing why it was +ev to shove into morons with 4 outs.
...
Uhh... anybody want to buy the % I bought off him from me? =[

I'm good at poker.
If I didn't suck, I'd be up 50k this month instead of down 30.
yeah. I think that's about right. I don't even know.
Who cares?

Two Updates in One Day?
This blog is obviously blowing up huge. So like Jay mentioned I took a shot @ 500/1k HORSE and did pretty well. Unfortunately, I dropped 40k yesterday in very short order playing 1k/2k but I'm still up a fair amount in nosebleed HORSE for those who care. Unfortunately the variance is too high for me to continue playing it. While I could continue to grind and take shots I really feel the money is better used investing in things other then poker though I hope to be a staple in these games in a couple years. Interesting notes about the games:
1) The line-ups are often a lot softer then 200/400 games running @ the same time.
2) Since playing in it a lot of high limit pros have given me some respect and offered a lot of help in improving my game which is really nice.
3) The games don't play as aggressive as I thought they would. I mean they play aggressive but I thought they would play extremely aggressive, which was not the case except from a few players (EURO32PLYR & SteveSung come to mind)
The actual grind has been boring though in between such shots since when you're swinging up over 100k over the course of a few days or dropping 40k in an hour grinding 5/10nl seem kind of insignificant. I realized I was really autopiloting when talking to another regular about how "spewy" I am. It's true but honestly it's not in the spots most of the people tell me it is. But because of this conversation, I've decided to try to tighten up a few of my spew spots and really start focusing hard and studying again. Despite dropping 40k yesterday, I'm in as good of a mood as I've been since moving back to the cultural Sahara in which I currently reside and it's almost all because my outlook on the game continues to improve.
You can improve incredibly quick in this game. I remember during the Party days I thought ZeeJustin was living the life with an hourly of $300 and that if I could make just $200 I'd be content and just do that for the rest of my life. Well since going broke and focusing on improving my hourly rate has been considerably higher then that and perpetual greed continues though I focus more on wanting to improve then what the effect on my bottom line is. What is possible in this game constantly amazes me.
I still get no respect for even being decent by any regular @ 2/4 - 5/10nl though but Cole South likes my game so fuck em ;)
Halfrek who won the $1000 & $2500 FTOPS events for over 800k combined has almost inspired me to go back to donkaments but not quite. Absolutely sick results though. If you check his pokerdb he wins 4.33% of tournaments he's played. Unreal. Speaking on donkaments I'll be playing the HPT Detroit (June 6-8th), and events #22 ($3k HORSE) & #26 ($1500 Razz)@ the WSOP (June 11th-15) for sure and possibly some events later on in the series so if you don't suck @ life and want to buy me a drink and/or a lapdance feel free to leave one.
Good luck @ the tables.

Leaks in my game:
1. 4bet amount way too much.
2. Too much autopiloting.
3. Failing to extract value in certain spots/vbetting more marginals vs fools who have weak hands that should have been dumped instead of going for free showdown.
4. Idiot tilt.
5. Sucking at poker.
Going to fix 1 through 4 starting whenever I come back from this taking this poker break. P.s. I'm taking a poker break. Maybe.
Summary:
Was up 30k+ on the month.
Lost 20k while tilting for no reason and playing so bad that being on tilt doesn't even justify how badly I played.
Annoyed at myself for doing this every other month.
Still tilting off 100k+ a year. Sigh.
Woeisme

People come here and leave comments!
That's impressive. Too bad they're all stupid.
Take this one for example:
"Just checking in on you spammer. You will let you guard down eventually and I will find out who you are and crush you...I do not easy forget people that have spoken against me LOL. You thought you were some big "rakeback" guy but your just a little fish loser. At least i get the last laugh...oh yeah, your blog violates at least 3 rules in the Blogger TOS...I am reporting you so if you can afford the $50 to set up a real blog than good for you lol."
This woman has got to be one of the absolute dumbest people I have ever met online. Considering I have been playing online poker for god knows how long now, that is an incredible feat. She's been upset with me for at least six months now (probably more) because I was talking about rakeback. I actually didn't even remember who she was until one day I back tracked some blog posts and read an old one that mentioned her. So apparently she runs some horrific paintbrush website that was put together after finishing a course on web design and air conditioning repair, where she steals news, strategy, and various other content from real websites, respewes it in broken English and plasters it all over the web like her own work. Then she puts up links to freerolls in hopes that random fish will sign up, deposit, and earn her some affiliate revenue. In other words, her only goal in life is to milk poker players for every bit of their rake and suck them dry without giving anything in return. Then she gets all upset when they tell her to go f herself and sign up with a rakeback affiliate. Boohoo. Here's a tissue, retard.
Now she's waging war against me by reporting my blog. Oh no.
Dear whatever your name was:
If I cared at all about your pathetic existence, I'd put your name, social security number and those videos from mardi gras you have hidden in your closet all over the internet. Tell you what, I'll even help you out. I'm too lazy to dig up your website URL, but if you come back here, leave it in the comments, I promise you I will link it and send over the 3.5 people who read this site to sign up for your freerolls. We'll generate you $5 in rake, while players like 3up continue putting up 15k a month for me.
And now this:
"hi there I there I know exactly what you mean ak vs fishes q6 who was the bb i make big raise preflop 4k fish moves in for 10k just cos i got postion ! and willing to put his whole stake on on his gut that im just aking a move with no ggod cards. The fact I have been playing tight and not made no moves was irrelevant obv. runner runner 1 card flush draw for him. another aq vs a2 was a raise b4 me i call in sb. bb calls as well flop comes rainbow with an A I push for 2k rasier folds bb calls runner runner 22 he makes full. My confidence is so low now after lossing 12k that I am now being walked over so I begin 2 tilt end up costing me another 10k my entire bankroll!
Aftermonths of hard work with an initial investment of 1k. I am know question was it worth all the time I put in when there is absoultly nothing you can do to prevent this."
Wow. Look at this fish here telling me his life story. Just wow. Is he serious? Coming over here to tell me about losing 10k? You'd think he was a blog contributer! Does he not realize that we don't care? Does he not realize that I care more about me losing a nickel than him losing $50,000? Is this not self explanatory? The balls on this guy! I wish I could ban certain people from accessing this blog.
Dear fish:
I don't care. In fact, I wouldn't have even published your comment if I didn't need it to make a point. Please never visit this blog again. Thanks.
Other noteworthy things:
1. I chucked off another 6k playing Blackj[cr]ack
2. Immediately after dropping 6k on BJ, I banned myself from playing casino games.
3. Looks like we're all going to be in vegas for the series and possibly will be hitting up the UFC event.
4. Two girls have been asking me to go camping. It will be myself and 4 girls in 1 tent. They promised to share their sleeping bag with me. I'm undecided.

online poker. lol.
I run bad. Really bad. Really really bad. Like really terrible absolutely horrendous I don't remember the last time I ran this bad, bad. The scary part is...it can get worse.
Honestly, I don't know how many more OESFD's I can brick. How many 60-40's I can get f'd on, how many times I can lose a coin flip and how many more times the flush can get there against me. It doesn't even matter how many outs I have. I got it in with OESFD + both my hole cards are good if they pair...nope. Get it in FDraw+over+gutter. Nope. Get it in AK vs KJ. Nope. Get it in top 2 vs f draw. Nope. Set vs f draw? Nope. Set vs straight draw? Nope. It doesn't stop.
Running a nice -15kish below expectations. I have no idea how I still have money to buy in.
Then people rathole. Wow that pisses me off to no end...
Of course the combination of running bad and fish ratholing causes me to play bad and tilt to no end. So what do I do? I go play $200/hand blackjack and lose 5k. Nice.
On the brightside, the players are so ridiculously bad that if they continue playing me and continue to have money in their accounts, I will undoubtally be a rich man one day. When and if that day comes, I'll definitely quit writing this blog.
Anyway, on to much more interesting topics: 3up3down.
I know what you're all thinking...why hasn't he been posting his spiffy graphs and boring stories about downswings and all the "mad love" he gets on 2+2...well...this fool has decided to start playing the $500/$1000 HORSE game on FTP. And by playing, I mean destroying it. Not only is this game huge...it's also frequented by the very top players in the world...and our little stripper boy has been showing all those clowns who's boss.
In all seriousness, much love to 3up. He's worked hard and earned all the success he's having. Keep crushin' those fools,
I was watching late night ESPN the other day...for those that don't know...at 5 or 6am they have a segment called ESPN Outdoors. It's usually about fishing with professional bass anglers appearing on the show...well one of them said something really amusing that stuck out:
"A real pro must know how to spawn the fish."

3 months of suckouts, coolers and tilt.
I have been running absolutely terrible for the last 3 months. My confidence is shot. Everything I do goes wrong:
When I have it, they suck out or have nothing.
When I don't have it, they call.
Any flip, I lose.
Any cooler goes against me.
If I tilt, I tilt large.
3 months of this. I have been mixing in a lot of live play...simply because I need money and they are beyond awful. It's funny, I haven't seen so many runner runners in a row ever. Live is rigged beyond anything I have ever seen. I have been putting my money in 70% or better to somehow lose every time.
One hand I played sticks out in my mind:
I open 67ss UTG, both blind call.
flop 67Jr
Jay: $50
SB: $170
Jay: $350 more
Sb: Call
Turn: T
River A:
SB: ATo
Jay: Muck
I can't beat a live 5-5 game. That's ridiculous. The play is worse than .25/.50 online.
I also played this hand which amused me to no end:
I open KxKx in EP. Both blinds call. Blinds never fold.
Flop is Ac3s4s.
It's checked around.
Turn: 6s
It's checked around
River comes some brick like a red 9 or something. Checked around again.
Sb shows J5o, BB mucks. I show Kings for 1 pair. Then Sb asks me: "Why didn't you bet?" Jay: "Would you have raised?" Sb: "No, but why didn't you bet?" Jay: "Would you have called?" SB: "No but you should bet there." So the rest of the night I tried to play pots against this guy as much as I could. He kept amusing me by winning 1 pot where I cbet $50 into KTx w/ 89o, he called, river came a Ax. Then he shoves all in for a huge overbet having me way covered. So I hollywood it then fold. Someone asks him if he had the straight...he smugly replies that he didn't but because all I do is raise and bet he decided to stick it to me. It was cute he neglected to tally all the pots I won off him where he would limp and call large raises and then fold the flop.
And the best part is...the worst player at the table (a different guy!) who kept putting his money in as a dog vs me and sucking out challenges me to 10-25 HU. IMMEDIATELY my friend sitting to my right asks for half my action. That was an interesting change because I'm usually the one doing the HU challenging. I would have instantly played him had I not been running like absolute hell for the last 3 months but I think it may be time to practice some (gasp!) bankroll management and not get rivered for 5k and then tilt off another 10.
2 things still puzzle me:
1. How in the world am I losing in these games? I should be walking out with 2-3k every time. I am embarassed for myself that I have dropped so low as to retell bad beat stories from 5-5 live games. This is really a new low...even for me.
2. Why don't any of these guys play online? 30 hands an hour sucks!
Anyone want to lay me odds on how long until I am completely busto?
J
When I have it, they suck out or have nothing.
When I don't have it, they call.
Any flip, I lose.
Any cooler goes against me.
If I tilt, I tilt large.
3 months of this. I have been mixing in a lot of live play...simply because I need money and they are beyond awful. It's funny, I haven't seen so many runner runners in a row ever. Live is rigged beyond anything I have ever seen. I have been putting my money in 70% or better to somehow lose every time.
One hand I played sticks out in my mind:
I open 67ss UTG, both blind call.
flop 67Jr
Jay: $50
SB: $170
Jay: $350 more
Sb: Call
Turn: T
River A:
SB: ATo
Jay: Muck
I can't beat a live 5-5 game. That's ridiculous. The play is worse than .25/.50 online.
I also played this hand which amused me to no end:
I open KxKx in EP. Both blinds call. Blinds never fold.
Flop is Ac3s4s.
It's checked around.
Turn: 6s
It's checked around
River comes some brick like a red 9 or something. Checked around again.
Sb shows J5o, BB mucks. I show Kings for 1 pair. Then Sb asks me: "Why didn't you bet?" Jay: "Would you have raised?" Sb: "No, but why didn't you bet?" Jay: "Would you have called?" SB: "No but you should bet there." So the rest of the night I tried to play pots against this guy as much as I could. He kept amusing me by winning 1 pot where I cbet $50 into KTx w/ 89o, he called, river came a Ax. Then he shoves all in for a huge overbet having me way covered. So I hollywood it then fold. Someone asks him if he had the straight...he smugly replies that he didn't but because all I do is raise and bet he decided to stick it to me. It was cute he neglected to tally all the pots I won off him where he would limp and call large raises and then fold the flop.
And the best part is...the worst player at the table (a different guy!) who kept putting his money in as a dog vs me and sucking out challenges me to 10-25 HU. IMMEDIATELY my friend sitting to my right asks for half my action. That was an interesting change because I'm usually the one doing the HU challenging. I would have instantly played him had I not been running like absolute hell for the last 3 months but I think it may be time to practice some (gasp!) bankroll management and not get rivered for 5k and then tilt off another 10.
2 things still puzzle me:
1. How in the world am I losing in these games? I should be walking out with 2-3k every time. I am embarassed for myself that I have dropped so low as to retell bad beat stories from 5-5 live games. This is really a new low...even for me.
2. Why don't any of these guys play online? 30 hands an hour sucks!
Anyone want to lay me odds on how long until I am completely busto?
