the day i quit donkaments?

i played quite a few and most of them ended in horrible fashion with beats that make you want to puke every day.

Here's a nice gem in the Sunday Million where a fish with all the chips just shoves into your kings and flops the nuts in your mouth.

pretty standard for my life on sundays. I lost a shitton yesterday almost all the profits for the week but hey what can you do. The wife and I booked a nice getaway cruise coming up so we're looking forward to that. Some time to get away from this f-in computer and life i'm living. I'm probably just gonna cancel borgata but you never know. I really just don't know...

rewarding bad players

it's sick how im a winner on stars tourneys but when it comes to FTP, it's so fucking rigged against me. I'm stuck a million today so maybe I'll play a tourney to get unstuck. After losing a flip AQ to 88 cause i win 10% of flips on ftp, this superstar gets all my chips.

I'm so fucking frustrated at have 1k days 2k days for wins and slowly climbing out of the hole, then FML the deck is just so cruel and i lose 7k or 10k and it's back to fucking start again. It's so unfair to let horrible players win.

dropped down bustofied and borgata

Starting with the good, borgata poker open is around the corner which I'm really looking forward to. They run a series of events that are full of fish. The value is awesome and the cash games are even better. I just have to stay out of the pit and I should come back with a bunch of money. I busted my UB account but got a few transfers from random players trading for stars and ftp. It's pretty crazy that I busted an acct that had over 50k in it at one time. I dropped down considerably in stakes. No more 25/50 and barely even sitting at 1020 anymore because i'm afraid I'll go busto on the other sites. I've set some new goals for myself, 1k a day and then just quit for the day. As my downer has now eclipsed 57k, hopefully i'll be out in 2 months. FML!

small update

I took a small break from online poker because i just couldn't win anymore. I lost 1 day out of 32 days playing in Vegas which was obviously the tits, but since returning home, i've done nothing but lose. I've come out of 30k downers before, but this recent downswing is 52k which is a huge chunk of my bankroll. Part of it is my mistake by moving up when I'm stuck, but I've run absolutely the worst of my life losing every flip and every 80/20 or 70/30 doesn't matter. It's just sick as we poker players say.

Florida live poker is finally in full effect though. I've been to daytona 3 times since they raised the limits and booked wins on all 3 sessions....although nothing huge, wins are wins and it's paid out in cash which is of course nice as well.

I'm excited for September as Borgata is putting on another series that runs for about 2 weeks and included several deep stacks events, a 2k HU event and then the 3500 main event. I really need a big score to get back on track. FTOPS has also started, but I can't remember the last time I cashed a FTP tourney, I probably won't play many of them outside of the 500 HU.

The wife and I are still trying for a baby and actually paid for some fertility treatments so we'll know on Tuesday if it worked. They are 1k each month and it's a 20% chance it works and 4% chance for multiples. I just want one for now k thx. I'm getting up there closing in on 30 years old pretty fast, so I guess play time is coming to an end and family time is the next step in life.
