New activity & a small recovery

I'm +7.5k this week which is a small dent into my rough month which peaked around -23k in the hole. I reevaluated some hands and watched some training site vids to freshen up and plug some leaks. I'm trying to hard to win pots and bloating them unnecessarily. I try to win all the pots and people just don't fold when they should, even me!

Anyway, new activity - the wife and I went to the gun range today. woot. I hadn't fired a gun in a long long time and she has never shot a gun before. We started with a 22 handgun and worked out way up to glocks and 9mms. It was a lot of fun and she's a great shot! It was very exciting as we are looking to buy one as well for that extra protection just in case factor.

We are super excited about upcoming Alaska trip less than a month away. Also my friend lewie is getting married next week so we have that as well. I really want to get out of this hole before vacation, so I'll be putting in a ton of hands each day trying to play my best and not tilt. However, I did have a big rut today and broke my 4th mouse of the year. FML. they are like 50.00 each too. Im using my one from my desktop now and it's not wireless. sucks haha but I guess that's what I get.

april is getting ridiculous....

This shit has got to stop somewhere. I drop another f-in 9k today to the biggest idiots on the internet. I mean, the players are so f-in bad and they try to outlevel themselves by 4 and 5 bet bluffing. Here is a good example. I mean, it's just ridiculous how much under EV i am this month. It's a shame that I go to work and lose money. I'm stuck a ton this month. Maybe i'll take a few days off. I don't know what else to do because i feel like I'm playing solid.

I grinded forever today and ended +1200 I think. I was also +1500 yesterday, so we put a small dent in the big negative number from the other day. I'll be pleased if I get it all back by the end of the month. I think overall I'm stuck around 12k this month maybe 10k. I finally finished my taxes the other day and wrote a joke ass check to the IRS. Gotta do it the right way...

We got spanked at softball last night. Pretty depressing. Other than that we have a group of friends getting together tomorrow for kobe steakhouse then party time at my bro's house. Pray our livers hold up. Later.

what in the f. fml fml fml

I can't explain how bad i ran today. It probably sounds like a broken record, but as I post about the mini 8.6k upswing, I drop 11.3k today to the biggest fish on the internet. I game selected well, played all losers and donators and the cards just didn't go my way. It was so gross/sick. I missed everything when I was all in on a draw and when i had the best of it, the villians caught up. Nothing went right today and I continued to try to play through it, but it just got worse.

On top of that, my doctor says I have to lose 10 lbs in 4 months. My triglicerites are too high and I need them to come down so I got some fish oil pills and gonna try to exercise more and use the wii fit we have here at the house. Of course I want to get the money back I lost today.... who knows how long that is going to take. Just sucks so f-in bad.

Life, fondue and the mini upswing

Still running like dogshit on Bodog, but fortunately running well on stars and ub. After making basically nothing the first 8 days of April, I'm +8600.00 over the last 2 days. :o) I've lost some due to tilt and bad play, but overall, I'm happy with my play although I'm paying off a lot in full ring games with overpairs vs sets.

We went to a fondue restaurant tonight where you cook your own food in this oil bowl. It's pretty romantic, but a bit pricey.

Other than that, i went to the doctor today for my annual physical. My doctor is a smoking hot tan lady who is super nice. She's been our family doctor for years. I stepped on the scale and clocked in at 202 lbs which shocked the shit outta me. I've never been over 200 lbs in my fucking life. Maybe it's muscle weight from taekwondo, or maybe I had a huge turd that I needed to let out, but it's pretty much a joke when the doctor says you've gained 14 lbs since last year and you were 175 when I first started seeing you years and years ago. So I'm going to start running around the neighborhood. I've been telling myself that for months, but I really need to do that. I'm not going to be one of these grossly overweight multitablers that eat like shit and consume themselves with poker so bad that they are going to have a heart attack before 30 years old.

Well it's like 230 am so I better get to sleep. Hope everyone runs hot.

Mover

Oh yeah, here's a sick bluff from the other day where I 4 bet bomb the flop with no fold equity from the other guy and he folds. Don't do this.

April showers on my bankroll

April is not going well at all. I'm running very very very far under ev as well as running into super cold decks and coolers. It's pretty gross. I took a shot at 10.20 today and lost 6K. That was on top of the 4K I was already down so I lost a total of 10K on bodog today. Not fun at all. Fortunately I was up a bit on stars, but after being up 3K before lunch, I'm stuck like 3-4k overall today. I mean, how many times can people flop sets on me? When is it going to be my turn? Makes me emo and sad :o(

i haven't made any money in april at all, however I do plan to play some golf Friday which should clear the head a bit and maybe review some hands and see if I'm doing anything wrong. I've been real good about quitting sessions when I'm tilted, but what can you do when I have QJ on JJ2 board and the other guy has 22? It's gross like that. I lost a 5.8k pot at 10/20 when all the money went in on the turn. Oh well. maybe I'll play a donkament tomorrow lol.

Oh and full tilt is the worst site ever. I still had some money left over on there so I fired up some 1/2 HU just to screw around before bed and managed to drop 1300 in about 40 minutes. NO TILT just running atrocious. I don't know how I made money on that site last year. It's fucking amazing that I've lost what seems like every session on there for the past 6 months at every level, sngs, tourneys, turbos, hu, 6 max and full ring. Fortunately stars is keeping me afloat for the time being.

I cashed out money today which is what I always do when I'm sad emo mover. With Alaska coming up and Aruba in Sept/Oct, I really want to make a bunch of money to pay for all this. Please let this downswing turn around... ty.

Another one bites the dust

Congratulations to my vagina friend Jason for finally getting his ball sack out of his whitey tities and asking Loraine to marry him yesterday!!! yey! Once you get old and married like the wife and I, it's sometimes a little weird hanging out with the youngsters who want to go clubbing and party and have drinking contests and stuff. We are past that stage and have already settled down for the most part. You concentrate on the 'couples' part of life and try to find other couples to hang out with and date night consists of maybe dinner and movies together or team board games. You know, gay shit like that. Don't get me wrong, I still need my singles golf time and wings and stuff, but as far as clubs and dancing and acting like an idiot...those days are long gone.

I'm not sure if they've set a date yet, but I'm almost 1000000% sure the bachelor party will be in vegas. Jason, if you're reading this, vegas, vegas, vegas. imo

Being in Central Florida, we get to go to the amusement parks whenever we really want. The wife's family is in town, dad, step-mom and her 2 sisters (12 and 14), so all went to Epcot yesterday. The weather held up pretty nicely, however it is Spring break right now for most of the schools and the park was packed. It is also the flower and garden festival where they make all the movie characters from Disney out of flowers and carve them into bushes. It's nice and all, but I think it impresses the chicks more than the dudes. Of course the main reason for Disney's Epcot is to drink around the world. They don't condone it of course, but when you are spending 8.00 or more for a beer, I'm sure Mr. Disney isn't complaining.

There are 11 counties in total and there's either a short movie or dumb ride about its past. We started out in Mexico with some Dos XX, then move to Norway for Carlesberg, then China for Tsing Tao, Germany for Octoberfest, Italy for Perino (or wine if you prefer that), USA for Bud Light (fml, miller lite so much better), Japan for Kirin, Morocco for Morocco Beer (nice name), France, shit I forgot what france was, United Kingdom where you get a nice selection of guiness, bottingtons, stella, harp, etc..., then O Canada for Molson or Labatts. A good day and hopefully you're not broke by the time to you get through!

Oh yeah, I beat Seaner for the first time ever at golf the other day and we are supposed to links it up again this weekend. Our softball team is 1-1 after getting crushed the 2nd game because the team recruited the local high school baseball team fml. I did hit one over the fence, but it was just foul. Maybe I'll hit a homer this season....
