Winning, but feeling like a loser

I played 2 of the biggest idiots yesterday Heads Up and lost around 1300.00 to them yesterday. I couldn't flop a pair and all of my bluffs were getting called so light, it was like my cards were face up. I finally quit them and of course they talk shit and say "ship it" blah blah blah. Fortunately I was playing a juicy 3/6NL full ring game on Bodog with Evelyn Ng and I quickly built my 600.00 stack into 2500.00 before the game broke. Caught some nice hands and a guy shoved 500.00 into my KK with 33. That always helps. Also flopped a set of 9s against a guy who couldn't slow down with AA. Evelyn plays decent though. i wouldn't say great, but I saw her show down some shitty hands and chase some weird gutshots. She was on my left and had a 2200 stack going but we never bumped heads other than a small pot of 90.00 where I picked off her bluff and called with king high on an ace high flop. lol She and David Williams and "bodog pros", but I personally think David Williams sucks at cash games. Evelyn and I were chatting about it and I asked her what she thought of his cash game play and she said he was excellent?? wtf? I think he personally sucks because he calls call calls too much, but people do try to bluff him and he's almost unbluffable. I played with him at 3/6NL a few nights ago and took around 200.00 off him, but we didn't play any big pots. Evelyn said something interesting though, "well you have to understand that David doesn't take this too seriously" Well that's cool then, now everytime I see him at the tables, I'm going to sit with him and let him spew and call off monies to me. weeeeee. So anyway, I lost 1300 on Full Tilt, but won 1800 on Bodog, so net +500 but I still feel like I sucked it up, but I took 300 out of my rakeback account so hopefully that'll make me feel better about booking a 800.00 win. I do have to withdraw some though because of the wifey going a little overboard on presents this year for family, so I'll have some rebuilding to do come the new year. gl all.

Breaking Profit records for myself

I've really tried hard to put in a ton of hands this month and the results have been very positive. I've had a winning session I think 9 of the last 10 times I've sat which of course means profit! I'm +23K this month which is so sick! 8K of it comes from a tourney win, however the rest is mostly 2/4NL HU on Full Tilt and some 3/6NL full ring on Bodog. The bankroll is on its way up and hopefully I'll keep running and playing well and be rolled for 5/10NL in no time. Merry Christmas to all. Hopefully Santa brought you what you wanted.

I use to love playing the Turbo 20K on Full Tilt. It's 200+16 and it gets around 180 entrants and 1st pays between 9K-10K. So I felt like playing it yesterday and ran pretty good in it until we got to the final table. I was pretty short, but of course I lose to a 3 outer and don't hit my 15 outer redraw.

Oh well 9th for 770.00, when 1st was 9.2K. Did okay in cash games yesterday for a short time I put in. +like 500-600 or so. Still a +1K day which is nice. I withdrew some money from Full Tilt, so hopefully it gets in here in time so I can pay these massive credit card bills I have coming in for Christmas. That's about it. My bro won a 90 person 24+2 for 600 something yesterday and he sucks, so if he can win, anyone can.

cash games = gold

Didn't play Friday as had to go to the wifey's work party. Got all pimped out in a suit which made me feel pretty baller. She had on a sexy cocktail dress. Good food, but cash bar which sucked. Wish it was free, but oh well. 6.00 beam & cokes add up after you have like 20 of them. I wasn't driving obviously :o) Her work gave out a bunch of sweet prizes like Flat screen TVs and gift cards for big $$, but we didn't win anything. Standard. Put in a few hands Saturday and won some cash, then put in a lot of hands yesterday and won some more. I know I was down 10K last month, but it's nice to be out of the hole as I'm +17.4K this month already. I withdrew some though to pay off some christmas shopping. Tournaments didn't go so well. Played the UB 100 and lost a big flip with 2 overs & a flush draw vs. a pair and later bustoed that account (didn't have much in it anyway + UB sucks) and lost a flip AQ vs. 99 for a big pot in the Bodog 30K that I won last week. I built up to 62K in the Bodog 100K, but ran bad late and finished 21st for like 600.00 or something small. I moved back up again playing HU as I'm trying to stay on the strict BR management program and it's going quite well. We're trying to plan a skiing trip for hopefully February out west. Just gotta convince the wifey it's really not that cold there and snow is great. I'll post a few hands later on.

Congrats to my boy jond aka shipaholic on UB for shipping one of the UBOC events for over 40K

Running well

I'm running well right now and playing great too! Here's a few hands from the recent session:

Put in a 1.5 hour session and ended +700 on FT and +900.00 on Bodog. A great day! Trying to clear FT's ironman for December so I can get a FREE 575.00 bonus for the year end. Happy shippings

ok, no more complaining - a 10K day!

Ok, so I told myself I was quitting tournaments forever, but then I added, except for Sundays, ldo (like duh obviously), so I started out around 11 am and sat in my recliner, laptop in my lap and went to work. The wifey went shopping, so it was nice and quiet in the house. I played some 1/2NL HU and won around 1800.00 right away stacking these monkeys like crazy. They were just giving their money to me. Then the Bodog 30K started at 1 p.m. Only 207 entrants so 9300.00 overlay! 6 hours later, SHIP IT - 1st place! $8250.00 woot! The 100K started at 4 p.m. and I built up over 100K chip stack there too, but ran bad late and finished 24th for like 600.00. Nice to be FINALLY unstuck for Nov/Dec now! Feels GREAT!!!! Hey, I made over 10K yesterday! :oD

summed up in one hand

how i've been running for over a month.

just give up

poker is such a joke sometimes and I really hate when people think they are so awesome, but they are actually in fact really bad and are put in God mode hitting sets and flushes and straights. I started the weekend out nicely booking a 1500.00 win Saturday, but Sunday morning I was playing this fish who loves to shove draws and get his money in super bad like 30/70, etc... I mean, it's a good strategy when you're playing against someone on scared money because you create a ton of fold equity against those weak opponents, but it's a horrible strategy when you play against someone like me who is never scared to put the chips in the middle. Well, after hitting probably 3 30/70s in a row, I quit him as you can't play well against opponents like that, especially when they start smack talking you to put you on tilt thinking they are so damn awesome, but really they are running God mode and sucking out all over the place. Then I took 3 coolers back to back for 400 each. 78 on a 785 board and he has 55. 79 and the board is 810J and he has Q9, wtf? 64 and the board is 357 and he has 68. cmon now. I ended up dropping around 2300.00 back after my 1500.00 up so of course I end the weekend down during this wonderful Christmas season that is approaching. I haven't played a tourney in a few weeks, so maybe I'll try that avenue again. 41 straight non-cashes on Full tilt for over 4K in buyins, maybe I'm due....
