omg sickest session I've ever played

just 3 tabled this maniac on UB who was -20k. We were playing 200bb - 500bbs deep on some of the tables. I started running terrible and was stuck like 7k to him :( Then I started to run better. Here are some monster hands from the match.


Here I flop gin and we get it on the river and I throw up when i see his hand.

So i went from -7k on him to +3K :)

Hopefully not a jinx, but running hot

Hopefully not a jinx, but I'm up $12,800 + a $5500.00 Aruba seat since the 23rd which is 6 days. I haven't even put in a ton of volume either, just trying to game select well, not play shortstackers and make the best decisions possible. If only it was that easy! I'm excited for yet another vacation next week when my brother gets married on a cruise boat. I think this is going to be my 10th cruise lol. It's a short one just to Key West and Cozumel Mexico, but they are always fun. Just have to not degen it up that much in the casino, which is going to be hard because a lot of my poker friends are coming on the cruise as well. I'm sure there will be much prop betting and drinking all day every day.

Other than that, life is good, playing a lot of golf and just taking it easy...

good calls dot com

Just 2 tabled a guy at 5/10 and we got deep quick. I commend him on this awesome bluff, but I hate folding.... i think this was the biggest pot I won today.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Just won my seat to 2009 Aruba Poker Classic! I played the 20rebuy in for 100.00 won a seat into the 530.00 and with 82 players, gave (4) 8500.00 packages, so we're in!

I went deep in the 1/4 million (lol 10.00 tourney) and also the turbo takedown and cashed the ub200k as well. Overall a great day!

Too bad I spent like a thousand last night on my brother's bachelor party. We were making it rain so hard in this strip club. We rented a party bus as well. All good times for sure. Gotta make some money soon though as I'm having a bad month.... hopefully this is the first sign to awesomeness for the rest of the month and year!

dumb update

haven't been good with updating because i'm down 20k or so this month. today was my first winning day all month and I won 266.00 so hopefully i'm on my way back lol. fml

poker sucks

I've been running incredibly bad since coming home. every day is the same shit.

back home

I'm back home as of last night which obviously means I'm not in Vegas anymore. :o( i couldn't get anything together on Day 2. I chippeed up to 55k or so, then would lose a pot and go down to 40ish, then chip back up, etc.. My table on Day 2 was full of horrible players which made it even even more frustrating to be card dead.

At 400/800/100ante, a fish raised the button to 2400, I made it 7500 with 1010 in the SB, he thought forever, then shoved for 21.5k more and I called. He had A3. AAx flop and it crushed me down to 9500. I shoved A9 two hands later and didn't get any help vs. QQ and that was it.... I knew the guy was going to blow up his chips like that, but it just wasn't my day and I got very unlucky. Nothing I can do about it. Hopefully I look okay on TV though when it airs in September I think.

I do have 5% of a friend who just texted me that they are ON the bubble right now so that will be good to recoup a portion of the 10k I put up for the tournament. I think I ended about even on the trip if you include drunken dice, steak dinners and limo rides, blackjack and other -EV stuff lol. I didn't even realize I was gone for over 2 weeks. Time to win Aruba seat again though! there's always next year...

Vegas updates, espn feature table

I was up like 8k online so far since coming to vegas and also another 4k live, but lit like 3k on fire yesterday as it was my brother's last day here and we partied for a bit and rolled dice, played blackjack and roulette and other -ev games lol. So what u all want to hear about the main event. I went by the Rio a few days earlier to look for my table number and what room it will be in, found it and was a-ok for Sunday to start the big dance except for one thing........

my table number was not there anymore and when i ask the dealer where #93 was, she said, "it's the one with all the lights". yep, ESPN feature table! We played for an hour or so and we were all looking around at each other wondering who wouuld take the empty 4 seat (i was in the 7 seat) and then someone said, "oh that's phil hellmuth's seat" sweet! I've met him several times before in vegas and in aruba. He's actually a nice guy in person, but his antics are worse in person than they are on tv. We played several pots together but nothing really huge. I ended the day with 47.4k which i'm pretty pleased with. There are only two hands that i wished i'd played differently. The table was pretty tight as no one wanted to look stupid on tv.
