today is the day

2010-12-29T06:24:00.000-08:00

today is the day we get to find out the sex of the baby. my wife had a dream last month we were having a girl, but then 2 nights ago she had a dream our baby was a boy! Only a few hours left until we find out!

not much to update

2010-11-29T17:37:00.000-08:00

almost busto on FTP, fuckin rigged ass site. these regs and their superuser accounts that win every flip, etc.... i'm done with tourneys as well... it's just sick how good of a player you can be and still get shit on. The games are getting tougher but the new players have these god mode accounts that never miss... I haven't made a dime in 4 months and surviving on last year's profits however at this rate, should be running out soon. :o(

On a more positive note, the wife's pregnancy reaches 15 or 16 weeks on wednesday. She's really starting to show now and the excitement is great for the both of us.

first sunday with no donkaments

2010-11-01T08:30:00.000-07:00

yesterday was the 1st time i haven't played any tourneys in a long time on a sunday and honestly it felt great! I think i probably saved like 3-5k lol. I've been so dry in tourneys that it's not even worth the time or energy especially with a baby on the way. We're almost at 12 weeks already! I had a pretty good October even with a -15k day....I'm still in both survivor football leagues as well, one of them being over 10k for first. At first I felt like writing, but i really don't anymore lol.

Can win when ahead in tourneys

2010-10-24T13:49:00.000-07:00

Every sunday i tell myself, i'm never going to play tourneys again, but the next week rolls around and the more hundreds and thousands get dumped into tourneys going for the big hit. It's pretty horrendous how bad i run on ftp when it comes to tourneys. I feel like i win 20% of all flips then when i get it in good, i still lose. Monster pairs are never holding....it's a joke yet I put myself through the same torture week in and week out.. or rather sunday in and sunday out. Here's a prime example in the Sunday Brawl - 256.00 buy in....

As October comes to an end it was another up and down month starting off great, then dropping all the profits, recovering then dropping it all again. I had 2 -14k days but i think I might have broken even so far. It very frustrating as I had a big year last year and this year I've fallen well short in comparison.

On a positive note, the baby is now 10 weeks old :) He or she is doing great and we have another dr. appt tomorrow for a check up.

Live Poker

2010-10-16T06:42:00.000-07:00

Played some live poker for first time since borgata yesterday at Tampa Hard Rock. The wifey went to a country concert with her sister across the street from the HR, so I got to play a bit of 5/10. I got stuck 1500 really quick, but got unstuck witht his hand.... Best hand of the night was a limped pot, I have 98dd, flop 10d 7d 3d, dude bets 25, i raise to 75, he calls, turn 6d, chk chk river who cares, he donks 200, i put him in for 1100 more he snaps with A2dd and slams it down... no good sir! straight flush. I also played a hand where i raised JJ to 50, got 3 callers, bet 130 on a 9h8h3s board, guy calls, turn 8s, i chk, he bets 200, i ship it, he calls off 700 more... river 9, so i think i lost but he turns over the poewr k6hh that bricked off so ez game. Last hand of the night I raise 50 with QQ, good lag calls out of sb along with one fish. Flop 8s 4s 3d, he donks 125 into me, i call, turn 9h, he donks 325, i call, river Ac, i bets 600, i think for a while and end up folding and showing and he shows me JJ. I thought he had 88 - JJ or ace high flush draw but we were both over 3k deep so I played it pretty passively. Still ended the session +1100ish so it was nice to book a cash win.

We are up to 9 weeks on the pregnancy test and the baby is about as big as a grape :) grow grow grow little guy or girl!

Little D - 8 weeks old

2010-10-07T10:49:00.000-07:00

[IMG]http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn172/Peoplemoverpoker/scan0001.jpg[/IMG]

He or she is 8 weeks old. Personally I think our child is going to be a boy, but everyone else thinks a girl. We just wanted healthy though. :o) I've been traveling a ton lately. borgata was pretty unsuccessful which was disappointing. We then went to Tennessee for a family wedding and had a great time there. We stayed with my Aunt in Knoxville in her 5 bedroom/7bath cabin on top of the mountains which she lives by herself in. It's pretty ridiculous awesome house. The weather was awesome and it was nice to get away from Florida for a bit. We went hiking twice and saw a bunch of deer, turkeys and even a bear. We did a 5 mile hike that ended at a beautiful waterfall. Nature is just awesome and the untouched parts of this world are just fantastic to visit.

Poker has been going pretty well as I continue to recover from the horrid August shots I took that cripled me for a while. My wife quit her job so she's home now. It's nice to have her around especially now that our Little D is on the way :o)

:o)

2010-09-26T19:48:00.001-07:00

My wife is now pregnant :) We have been trying for what seems like forever and finally God has answered our prayers and brought us a baby! We are beyond excited and she is only 6 or 7 weeks now but we couldn't be more thrilled. I've been traveling a ton lately. Went to NYC for some yankee games and also to Atlantic City for Borgata series. It was pretty unsuccessul but my friend Josh Brikis shipped the 1650 for 120k and Dwyte Pilgrim shipped the main for 780k. They are both sicko awesome players so I'm glad fish didn't win. I bubbled the 1650 and finished 14th in the turbo 400rebuy for a few bucks, but still ended down a little on the trip. I'm recovering online so I hope it continues as my wife just quit her job as she is going back to school in January. We are off to Tennessee for a wedding this weekend which is exciting as well then going to take it easy for the rest of the year.

grinding

2010-09-03T09:24:00.000-07:00

been grinding my ass off trying to recover the money from failed attempts at 1020 and 2550 but it's a grind man. I've gotten like 14k of 60k back but still a long way to go. I'm even sitting at 50c/1 cause the action for hu tables has sucked so bad. I guess the economy is catching up on the donator fish. I'm taking a much needed vacation with the wife tomorrow then i booked a flight to atlantic city for borgata to play a bit there then i'm going to nyc for a few yankee games.

the day i quit donkaments?

2010-08-29T18:55:00.000-07:00

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

2010-08-28T17:05:00.001-07:00

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

2010-08-16T14:10:00.001-07:00

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

2010-08-06T13:10:00.000-07:00

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.

it's amazing

2010-07-20T14:58:00.000-07:00

I mean on the turn it's drawing stone dead to offsuit 5. BAM. It seems as though all I post is bad beats. It was nice to hit the 24k for the Sunday Warmup but it's all gone now + more. sigh.... Almost bustoed myself on UB also, so f that cheater site I guess...

I need a vacation. Ya, I was in Vegas for 6 weeks, but that really wasn't a vacation... it was just a hot place to go and do work. I want to go cruising again. I love to cruise.

Borgata is coming up Sept 8 - 23. I love the Borgata. It's a beautiful hotel in Atlantic City. AC is a dump, but we don't go outside the Borgata so it doesn't matter.

Final Tabled a major

2010-07-12T07:14:00.000-07:00

Just when Im about over tourneys and say I'm never going to play them again, I get 6th in the Sunday Warm up yesterday for 24.7k. I lost a huge flip late to get to 6 million chips 66 vs q8, flop 875... brick brick, but I played well and held when i was ahead and lost when i was behind, so that's about how tourneys should go. I ended up shoving J10 from the btn 6 handed and the BB snapped me off with A5cc and flopped a flush, gg me. It was 117k for first which would have been awesome as the wife and I are looking to buy a rental house for some extra income. Oh well life goes on and at least I'm unstuck on the week.

GL to all my friends still in the main event. Today starts day 3.

wtf can i do

Flying home tomorrow

2010-07-05T11:16:00.000-07:00

And honestly it can't come soon enough. Everything was cool in the house at first, everyone got along, but after a month of having 7 dudes live together (even with maids) the house is pretty messy and it's time to go home. I've thought it over long and hard and I'm skipping the main event this year. Online went really well for me in the summer and I hope it continues. I learned a lot about myself and how hard it is to be away from the one you love for a long time. I miss my dog too and hope she remembers me since I've been gone since May 26. I still don't know how I'm going to get all my shit home. I have two giant suitcases and computer with monitor that my wife shipped to me. Guess I have to try to ship it home today or bring it on the plane with me.

End of Series

2010-07-03T03:21:00.000-07:00

End of the summer and series for me in Vegas. I ended w 3 cashes of like 10 tourneys and lost overall live like 18k. The straw that broke the camels back was the 2500 today getting it in with KK vs AK, river Ace to just FML my whole summer. I've decided not to play the main event this year and do something else with the 10k I would have spent on it. It's just so draining and frustrating to accumulate chips vs the worst players in the world just to get shit on by the deck and mincash or bust out of tourneys. It just wasn't my year.....there's always next year for the wsop....plus I'm looking forward to getting back to real life with my wife and puppy. so the limits were just raised in FLorida and the games are going to be awesome.

Going home soon

2010-06-28T11:21:00.001-07:00

The summer hasn't been all I'd hoped for this year. I wanted to make at least 50k for June/July, but I haven't even broken even this year. I've dumped some money unnecessarily in the pits which is a poker player's worst enemy and have 2 measly tourney cashes with some horrible flip bad juices for big stacks in those tourneys. The only thing keeping my summer afloat is the online pokers. Liquid cash hurts more to lose cause you actually feel it going away. I've only had one losing day online this summer which is pretty sick. I've gotten some decent 10/20 action and played my best and profits are good. Yesterday was a pretty standard sunday, min cash a tourney or two and brick everything else. I had a decent run going in the ub200k but lost kings to 9s all in pre and that was the end of that. There is a 1500 wsop tourney today that I might play.... i'm really not sure. The wifey and her sister are on an all day helicopter tour of grand canyon today, so I hope they have fun. I hate heights and aircrafts in general so it's just not for me.

I'm feeling pretty discouraged and disappointed with the results the summer has brought, but there's always next year right? I've pretty much decided I'm not going to play the main event either.

WSOP sinkage continues

2010-06-24T18:25:00.000-07:00

The tourneys are pretty much a laughing joke to me. Build up a nice stack and lose every flip known to poker and bust.... that's the story of my wsop tourneys. the series is over half over and I have 2 measly cashes. I mean if it wasn't for online, i'd be stuck 25-30k and be flying home already, but online has been kind. Yesterday, i played the 1500nl event. You start with 4500 chips and i built up to 36k by 150/300/25 which is a ton of chips. I lost a flip 1010 to AK to get to 70k and then lost AQ to KQ which is also rigged and finally shoved 99 over a raise and dude behind me has aces. gg. thanks for the waste of 11 hours of my life. At least my Mrs D is here. :)

Live tourneys are still rigged, online is good

2010-06-21T15:34:00.001-07:00

Been crushing pretty good online lately. It's been really nice in the office because there will be 4 or 5 people playing and we can all communicate about hands and discuss strategy with eachother from all angles of poker. There are tourney guys, rush poker guys, full ring, 6 max and then heads up guys. I'm excited because Mrs. D (the wifey) flys in tomorrow night. :) I haven't seen my wife in almost a month. Other than online, I bricked the 1k on Saturday - really couldn't get anything going and shoved 66 over a limp and guy behind me had QQ and I didn't catch up, but I did do well in a 5/10 cash game before the tourney started. i'm still down like 16k liquid, but I'm up about that online so it's all good. I played a guy at 10.20 yesterday for 3-4 hours and started down 6k then ended +7.5k on him before he quit. I've just recently been starting to sit at 10/20 so the swings are pretty brutal sometimes, but you can really clear some big profits if you game select and play your best.

Been playing a lot of ping pong in the house with the housemates and we went out a few times to some steakhouses and once to blue martini for cougar night. Funny to watch the youngster housemates try to pick up on the girls. We've taken some badass limos around town as well as it's cheaper to just pay for a big limo then get 2 taxis to the strip.

I'm not sure how many more events I'm going to play this year. It's been pretty frustrating as the fields are super soft yet I haven't made a deep run yet. We'll see though... there are just a few short weeks left....

Golfing in Vegas other random stuff drunk SNGs

2010-06-15T15:45:00.000-07:00

4 of us from the house golfed yesterday at Rhodes Ranch golf club here in Vegas. It was an awesome sick course, pretty challenging with some nice greens. Price wasn't too bad either. I had 2 birdies on the round which was pretty nice. Tonight I have some friends going to a wine bar so I might join them. I'm having some serious laptop problems so I have to run up to best buy to either have the geek squad fix this lagging problem or just buy a new one. Also need to find a place in vegas for a haircut.

We've been playing 100.00 house SNGs every night. I won one and got HU with kyle last night but he owned me pretty hard and scooped the house. Tomorrow is the 1500 which I'm probably going to play. One of us really needs to go deep in something. It's really fun to be on the rail of your friends deep in a tourney. I want to be that guy that is deep in the tourney though. We set a goal for our office of 200k for the summer. There are 7 of us total and we range from 1/2 6 max grinders to Derrick who plays 25/50 and up. I think I'm up the most so far :) so let's just hope it continues!!

Live from Vegas

2010-06-13T22:03:00.000-07:00

It's been a frustrating start to the WSOP for me this year. It's my first year playing an almost full schedule of events. I have one cash so far in a 1500.00 and then I cashed the 1600 at Venetian, but overall I'm down 14k on the trip. We just moved into our house yesterday and all the guys are really cool and easy to get along with. Most of us went out to XS night club at Encore. I'm the senior of the group at 29 as most of them are 23-25, plus i'm the only married one (well jason is pretty much married) so I guess I have to keep my fatherly eye on them to keep them in order. It's okay though.... I'm not a huge fan of nightclubs. They are overpriced for entrance, overpriced for drinks and it's so crowded just bumping into people.... it's really not my thing, plus I grew out of that stage of life a while ago.

We got our office set up though and I ran awful today, but played people worse than I ran so had a good day yesterday and today clearing 10k. I withdrew money before the series to buy into events, so it's nice to recover the bankroll a bit. It's hard being away from the wife (and the dog) but she's coming out next week which I'm super excited for. I'm so fortunate to have a supportive and understanding wife. She loved me when I had 100.00 to my name and always tells me that she'd live in a cardboard box with me if that's what it took. You can't beat that. I plan on playing a few more events but still haven't locked up my 10k main event seat yet. Hopefully that comes soon. I'll try to keep this updated throughout the series.

went to borgata and mincashed some tourneys, was very unlucky deep in some tourneys... KK < JJ and QQ vs JJ vs AQ river Ace deep in another tourney. Been dabbling a lot with PLO and getting better at it as I'm getting not much action HU for regular NL hold em. Here's a fun hand:

i had my worst week ever last month losing 40k in 4 days taking a shot at a fish at 25/50 I had him down to 1600.00 and he ran it up to like 27k. pretty gross.... so it's been a slow grind back. Taxes hurt a lot too, but they are done and over with.

March Beginnings

2010-03-03T07:20:00.000-08:00

Didn't really do much for my birthday. I mean, once you pass 18 and 21 and then the insurance drop at 25, there really isn't many birthdays to get excited about except maybe 55 for social security or is that 62 now... then 65 when we can withdraw roth iras and mutual funds and stuff. Yesterday was a brutal grind for me... I took some shots at 10.20 and 25.50 and lost 13k in like 2hours. it was so bad. I played all day though and got it all back 11 hours later playing nothing higher than 5/10. It was my best comeback ever. I felt like such a superstar ending the day +188 bucks lol. Here are a few of the hands that crushed me early.

2010-02-25T13:40:00.000-08:00

Haven't been real good with updating, but I've been trying to play more since returning from vacation. We took a cruise to Cozumel, Costa Rica and Panama. It was nice husband/wife time... and we met some nice people on board as well. We visited the Mayan Ruins of Tulum in Mexico and went white water rafting in Costa Rica which was awesome. We had a Panama Canal trip booked, but unfortunately my wife was really sick so we had to cancel it. We did get off the boat to get some magnets and shirts and stuff though so it wasn't a lost cause. We get refrigerator magnets from all the cities and countries we visit. We've accumulated quite a collection!

I've been taking more shots at 10.20 and 25/50 lately some good some bad. The flips are more expensive and hurt pretty bad when you lose like this:

Where's the pair the board one time?!?!? Oh well, but I stacked a few other guys later in the day so all in all a good day.

Vacation Time

2010-02-12T05:09:00.001-08:00

Off for a much needed vacation for both the wife and I. We are headed on a cruise to Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama Canal. Super excited to see new parts of this big world we live in.... Having a pretty good month so far swinging big and took some successful shots at 10/20 and 25/50 mainly because I was stuck at smaller levels... Happy Valentines to all you love birds. Go buy your companion a snuggie.

Back from Borgata

2010-02-04T13:31:00.000-08:00

I'm back from Borgata. I bubbled the 560 deep stacks, did ok in 2k HU matches, but lost to a calling station..... boo And in the 3500, blind vs blind, i raised 10 4 he called, flop 10 4 2 and he has 22, gg me. Tourneys are dumb.

So I'm back home and grinding online. Doing ok my first 2 days back, but this pot really hurt...

2010-01-15T14:41:00.001-08:00

running so bad lately. feel like i'm playing good, but dropped 15k in the last 4 days. switched it up to 6 max to get a different feel and saw some fish sitting, but even at smaller stakes it's still a joke.

New year stuff

2010-01-10T09:26:00.000-08:00

Been lacking in the updates, but ended the year in a small downer, but still crushed November and December and met the goal of over 200K, so I've set the bar even higher for 2010 - 300k. We're off to a pretty good start in January so let's do it.

As the year comes to a close....

2009-12-10T10:24:00.000-08:00

We look back at all the bad beats and all the broken computer parts. I went through 5 different mouses (mice?) wtf and 2 laptops...but we have come down the home stretch ripping and roaring our way to the top eclipsing our goal we set for ourselves of 200k on the year. Well, there is 3 weeks left, but we are playing well and running pretty well also. Game selecting has been key to my upswing as I don't play any solid winners or hit and runners and have gotten pretty good at quitting games where even though I have a small edge, I can't win because they cards aren't agreeing. Basically you start forcing things and building big pots for no reason and you can't win any of them so you get more stuck and tilted.

I've run up my ftp account very nicely and basically convinced myself that I shouldn't have left. I've read in the twoplustwo forums that their player base is up over 30% in the last few months which looks great for poker. The government has delayed some important decisions regarding the legalization and taxation of online poker which is nice as well.

Haven't posted any hands in a while, so here's a good one where you think you are getting bluff raised on the flop, so you 3 bet hoping to get it in on a flip or maybe he folds and you win the pot right there, so he ships and you're like ok flip it up, oh nevermind, I have you dominated...

Hi.

2009-11-25T06:55:00.000-08:00

Haven't updated as much as I should....maybe because we've been super busy and been running really well lately. I went to Vegas for a week as well which ended +4.2k, not too bad I guess, but I had a chance to ship the 350 deep stacks at Venetian for 29k, but ran 1010 into KK and finished 10th. such is life....

I cracked my fibula the other day trying to jump over the coffee table from the couch. Yeah, wtf right? I landed wrong and SNAP, man it hurt so bad. I got a splint cast from the ER, then went to Jewett Orthopedic where the magic players go and he gave me this gigantic ski boot which is pretty sexy imo.

We also got a dog! She's a great dog that my wife's brother found. She's a lab of some sort, black and around 8 weeks old now. Dropped like 500 on vet stuff, but she's really a good dog. We named her Charlie. She's spoiled rotten and even sleeps in the bed with us lol.

We've also been really stressed out about a big financial decision we are wavering back and forth on.... There's a 6 acre lot we were looking at purchasing in a custom home gated community. They use to sell for 400-600k each, but you can get one for 50kish now. We offered 35k but they said no. There's also a house for sale next to the wife's parents place that we might buy as a rental property as well. In 2005 it was purchased for 206k and it's bankowned for sale now for 99k which is a steal if we can just sit on it for a while.

Other than that, same old same old....gotta get ready for taxes and hopefully another trip soon. Ok time to walk the dog again!

Shipped LARGGGGGGGGE

2009-11-09T06:25:00.000-08:00

As with all Sundays, they suck. You spend a couple thousand on tourneys, get bad beated a lot and cry yourself to sleep being stuck and spending all the hard earned profits for the week going for the big cash that will seemingly never happen. Well, that finally all turned around for me yesterday. I busted the 500hu matches to Jeff Madsen who played awful but won 2 big flips, whatever....then busted the 500 on UB JJ to QQ, busted FTOPS 256 6 max bounty to another moron, so decided I wasn't going to enter any of the late afternoon tourneys cause I was done and frustrated. I still had the 100rebuy up and had ran really hot in hours 3 and 4 to get a big stack. I won a big flip AK to QQ, then another flip QQ to AK, then had KK to JJ to AJ and held to get to 900k in chips good for the cl with 27 to go. Long story short, we get 3 handed and I get it in with AJ vs 88 for like 60% of the chips in play and lost that flip to finish 3rd for 44.2k 1st was 81k, but I'm still happy with the cash as it's my biggest of my life. I've been on a sick heater since coming back from Aruba on Oct. 13. I've had 1 losing day out of 19. I'm up 56.5k in November on top of the almost 15k for the 2nd half of October. I set a goal to make 200k for 2009 and it was pretty much out of the question last month, but I ran some numbers last night and I think I'm at +187k now, so we may just get there!! Then I get to take it up the ass for taxes and I'm broke again lol

Leaving for Vegas on Wednesday for a short trip with my brother and a few friends so hopefully we can big there while living it up spending way too much money on room and food.

The wife's brother found this puppy on the side of the road and his wife said he couldn't have it so we took her in. She's a pretty good dog, a black lab and we named her Charlie. Already got stuck with 300 in vet bills for worm meds, bowls, food, toys, leash, collar, etc... but she really is a good dog, sleeps a lot and other time just wants to play. Crystal put her in the bed last night and at 4 am the dog is like eating my face wanting to play. lol

Ok, probably gonna take the day off and do some stuff around the house.

cashout curse?

2009-10-27T14:26:00.000-07:00

My wife and I are looking at this lot in Lake County that is 5 acres that we may purchase. It's in a 63 lot custom home community. About 20 of the lots sold in 2007 for over 400k each, but then the market dipped and now you can get one for around 40k or so. We'd just sit on it for a few years and either sell it or build a dream house on it when I win it big. I cashed out a bunch of money today so we could prepare to pay for it as all the deals must be cash deals and then ran like dogshit all day. here are a few hands to prove it...

Also obviously didn't cash the 100r and finished 14th in the PCA 33r satellite after being in for like a thousand rebuys. Oh well, you have to win flips which I do not do in tourneys. Overall it was a great week though +8500 (i'm stuck 3k today which isn't in there fml) We went camping with a bunch of friends Friday and saturday which was a good breakaway from the computers and house and things to think about. Just sitting around a campfire telling stories and drinking beer and watching the deers. It's so peaceful and relaxing. Ok gotta get out of the hole. Peace.

Been a while.....

2009-10-19T12:34:00.000-07:00

Back from Aruba. I lost my ass there. The trip cost a whopping 21k. I flew out on Oct 1 and lost like 2500 in a 5/5 game, yep then signed online and dropped another 12k which was not good. :( My wife got there on the 4th and we just took it easy for the rest of the trip. I had a good day 1 in the tourney, but day 2 I was really sick and lost a flip AK to 88 for a big pot, so that's they way it goes.... I met so many awesome people. I went to Phil Hellmuth's Penthouse party which featured 30 bottles of Dom Perigon, open bar, strippers in his jacuzzi, the Dan Band and a rap off. My wife and I also made really good friends with Eric Shoenberg and her brother Alex. We went golfing with them which was awesome. It was super expensive, but a great time. Yes, it is true, she is single as her and David Benyamine broke up a few months ago. We also rented a Land Rover with Hollywood Dave (blackjack guy) and took it through the outbacks of Aruba and visited some caves and a cool snorkle spot. It was a great day.

Another good story was having a big steak dinner with myself, the wife, Erica and her brother Alex, Roothlus and Roothlusjr, Jeff Madsen, Amit Mahatja, Billy Kopp, Allie Prescott and a few others. Obviously we credit card roulette the bill, a few people buy out, but there's like 700 left. It gets down to heads up between me and Jeff Madsen and it's my wife's turn to pick. She fortunately picks my card is safe from behind Katie's back and Jeff gets stuck with the bill. He also lost the next night at Aqua Grill for 2k when all he had was a salad. F his life....

So I've just been playing some small stakes and trying to play my best to get this 20k back as quickly as possible. Fortunately I've gotten 7k back this week so hopefully it continues and we'll run good forever!

peace,

Mover

back from atlantic city

2009-09-24T12:17:00.001-07:00

Atlantic city is a shithole of a town. We stayed at Borgata for like 12 nights or something retarded like that. I ran okay in cash... paid for my buyins for donkaments. I cashed the 770.00 in like 23rd when I rejammed A10 over a jammer and he had 69off and binked a 9 on the turn. fml. In the 3500.00 main event I've never been so card dead in my life. I think I folded for like 6 levels or 7 hours straight. It was gross. Never saw KK or AA the whole 2 days. I ended up jamming 99 and got called by AQ, flop QQ10 and that was it for me.... I did meet a lot of cool people, but overall I broke even on the trip. Very disappointing. I leave for Aruba in 9 days which is exciting. Today I wanted to start off the grind but alas, it was not meant to be for me today... at least not yet. I shut it down after this hand...

August Results and trips are booked

2009-09-01T07:39:00.000-07:00

I ended August with a huge bang making 4150.12 yesterday and ending the month +20.6k which I'm super pumped about. I put in a ton of hands and played every day except for one. I struggled through May and June so this helps get me back on track to my goal of +200k on the year. Right now I'm around +108k.

We have our trip to Borgata all booked and ready to go so winning a million there will surely boost me over my goal. :) We get back from Atlantic City then a week later it's back to ARUBA. weeeeeeeeee. We booked our flights there yesterday as well as 12 nights. 3100 for the hotel and 1200 for flights. FML, but gonna run better this year and win a million there too.

Just giving you all a preview of what is to come.... peace out.

fridayaments

2009-08-27T23:40:00.001-07:00

It's 3 am and after taking a huge nap after golf today (which I beat simpson for the first time in 7 rounds) I was ready to grind some money. I had a -40k fish sit with me at 5/10 and we got it in AQ to AJ and I lost, then lost some other crap, he took like 3300 from me I think. I was down almost 4200 at one point, but just sat there and grinded it all back at 1/2, 2/4 and 3/6 and one fish at 5/10 to end the night +253.00 lol.

Wednesday was pretty hilarious because a bunch of poker players got together for dinner and trivia, then we got the bright idea to play free poker at local pool hall/bar called trick shots by the house. We did a 20.00 last longer between the 5 of us and obv I didn't win and the biggest donkey Josh scoops it. Remind me I owe you 10 bucks Josh cause I won 10 bucks earlier in prop betting. But while we are playing free poker, my face is on the plasmas and flatscreens playing Phil Hellmuth. A lot of the "free" poker player regulars got a kick out of it. At the first bar we went to, Josh, Derrick, Seaner and myself were trying to figure out a good bet line for if I would get noticed or not. I thought 8:1 was a good line, then Seaner is like hell no at least 7:1, derrick said 17:1 and josh said like 20:1 i think. Well, 3 minutes in, a couple walks up to the wife and I and was like, omg, we were watching WSOP and this guy looks like you, are you that guy? lol, It was pretty funny....it just sucks because then they ask if you cashed or not and I have to go through the sad story of losing 90% of my chips 1010 to A3 all in pre. fml.

a few hands from tonight's session

2009-08-23T18:51:00.000-07:00

Just 3 tabled this guy on UB, he was up like 1500.00 on me at one time hitting river after river on me, but I finally got the best of him when he tried to double float me then run a suicide bluff on the river.

pretty interesting hand....

golf and stuff

2009-08-23T10:18:00.000-07:00

Been playing a lot of golf lately with the new roommate simpson. We usually bet small stuff like 5.00 a side and 5.00 total just to make it interesting. I've lost 5 or 6 straight matches which is a joke, but simpson needs the money more than me anyway, so whatever. I usually have the lead on the back 9, then blow up with a big score. Yesterday i started birdie birdie on the back then 4 putted the 11th, then got a 13 on the 16th after chunking 4 balls in the woods from 80 yards away so I threw my sand wedge into the 16th hole lake. loool. Simpson about died laughing so hard. FML.

Poker has been enjoyable and fun. Over the last 8 days, I'm +9100 which is awesome seeing as though my wife has been buying all sorts of presents lately for everyone except me? wtf is that all about. My brother's wife is prego so she went to macy's 50% off sale yesterday and bought like a million baby outfits and nothing for me. She also started buying Christmas presents in August. lol That's the good part about my awesome mode wife.... I barely have to do any Christmas shopping because she takes care of it all for me. She says cause i'm her sugar daddy. Other than golf, just hanging low and playing a lot of Mario Kart on the Wii.

Only a few more days until PeopleMover is on TV for WSOP with Philly Philly Hellmuth. Comes on Tuesday - 8 p.m. on ESPN.

Doing well and funny stuff

2009-08-19T10:44:00.000-07:00

After stacking this guy a few times for random amounts, this chat occurs....

Dealer: OMGSHIPIT has two pair, Queens and Threes
Dealer: Game #31813186309: OMGSHIPIT wins pot ($623.50) with two pair, Queens and Threes
Dealer: Hand cancelled
Redimps3000: gg mister two pir against two pair and A,A K,K ,Q ll the time.. Must be nice with that deal with stars
OMGSHIPIT: sorry u shove at bad times i had it every time u shoved
OMGSHIPIT: play again some time have a good day
Redimps3000: but course they wanna keep the bad plyers. Good for business. Hope you keep winning course it will show how rigged poker really are

Super funny imo... Anyway, the other day was my friend josh's birthday so a bunch of us got together for dinner at Texas De Brazil. There were 14 of us total and our bill was over 1k. Unfortunately nobody wanted to play credit card roulette for the bill. boooo. haha While we were waited to be seated, there was this huge muscle man black dude with huge dreds in a pimped out suit with a fine lady waiting for dinner as well. We are all discussing who it is and finally we think it is Booker T from the WWE wrestling or whatever. This dude is a beast. So I tell Jason I'll give him 20 dollars to ask him if it's him, but nobody wanted to do it. So I tell Jason to google him his phone which brings up a wrestling picture of him in a speedo or whatever haha. I grab his Iphone and go up to the assumed Booker T and ask is this you and hold up the phone. He nods his head yes and i tell him to have a nice dinner before he pile drives my face. looooooool It was funny though.

I'm like 90% going to Borgata with josh and jason to play the 3500 main WPT event as well as some smaller ones probably. That is next month, then October is Aruba which we are really looking forward to.

I went to the doctor this morning and she says i need to lose some weight like 15 pounds and stop eating steaks and red meat cause it's affecting my cholesterol. I think it's cause i drink too much, but guess I gotta listen to her. My friend Sean moved in with us for a little while because his lease was up on his apartment and he's looking for a new place. Even he says Mr. and Mrs. D drink too much. fml.

The WSOP episodes have been pretty disappointing on TV. The one I am on will air next Tuesday 8p.m and 9pm. where I play with Phil Hellmuth. Hope Norman Chad doesn't call me a donkey!

behold the world's greatest check

2009-08-16T20:15:00.000-07:00

ran horrendous today and lit a ton of money on fire in donkaments. Cashed one for mincash out of like 3k in entries, fml, but this is just hilarious how bad u can play a hand and get stacked imo.

Found out the ESPN Feature table Day 1C that i was at will be airing on Aug. 25th, so we gonna have a party at our house. Hope Norman Chad doesnt make fun of me too bad haha.

Just played some Netherlands dude who was crazy lag, I started down like 8 or 9k then ended up a little bit maybe 1500 or so. Here are some crazy big pot hands from the session. I lost 5 of 6 all in flips, but fortunately made some big hands and got paid off before he quit me.

and we're back

2009-08-11T07:27:00.000-07:00

Just got back yesterday from my brother's wedding cruise from Miami to the Keys then to Cozumel Mexico. Damn good times and memories that will last a lifetime. I think there were around 25 of us that sailed. Basically a giant drunkfest and casinofest with some trivia and snorkling, beach party in between. Nothing wrong with that imo. Time to make some money as Aruba is less than 2 months away. I might be going to Borgata next month with my friend Jason for the WPT event and cash games. We'll see how this month goes though...

mother fin f f f f f f

2009-08-02T21:17:00.000-07:00

Just lost a 2.5 million chip pot in the Stars 1.5 million QQ vs AJ all in pre. I open UTG and he overbet jams and boom 70/30 is no good. sigh.... 55th for pennies compared to the 237k for first. I win that pot, it puts me up to 6th in chips and i make a real run at it....

sigh... lost today but only like 1k after that 2.6k cash in the million. Very disappointing to play my best and lose like that.....on top of that, he's -46k on tableratings... fml.

omg sickest session I've ever played

2009-07-29T20:30:00.001-07:00

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.

Hopefully not a jinx, but running hot

2009-07-29T13:24:00.000-07:00

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...

2009-07-26T21:51:00.000-07:00

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

2009-07-22T19:05:00.000-07:00

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

back home

2009-07-11T15:31:00.000-07:00

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

2009-07-07T13:35:00.000-07:00

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.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

2009-06-29T09:04:00.001-07:00

Finally won my main event seat in the 650.00 on Stars last night!!!!!!! yey!!!!

Hurricaned through like 350k chips in the Million, but hey who cares, I'm playing the main event!

nice weekend sessions

2009-06-13T21:22:00.001-07:00

Seems like I write about how much a rollercoaster it's been, but this month really has been. lol After returning from our vacation my days have been -1900, +2200, +450, +1850, -7990, -4002. Those last two hurt pretty bad so I dropped down in stakes and only played 2/4 and 3/6 today and yesterday. I ran pretty good and ended +3538.00 yesterday and +5363.00 today. So after all those negative big numbers I'm stuck 513.00 on the month haha. I can laugh about it though.

We took the kid sister and her friend miniature golfing today which was pretty fun. It's like f-in africa outside though in the 90s during the day with no clouds. I crushed them both at mini golf, but then again, they are only 9 years old. The most rigged thing is though, it's like 12 bucks to minigolf. wtf? expensive! I mean, I'm not cheap, but still it should be like 6 or 7 bucks, not 12 bucks. Anyway, they have these baby gators there that you can look at. The kids all crowd around and stuff and there's a sign that says, "feed the gators $3.95". Hell yeah I'm down for that as was the kid sister. So we tell the cashier give us some gator food. Here's the scam of the century. They give you a stick with a string on it and a clothespin type deal on the end sort of like a cane fishing pole. You use the clothespin to pinch the food in between then hang it in front of the gator and they eat it. Ok, what is the gator food you ask? For $3.95, you get a fucking 1/3 of a hotdog cut in 6 pieces to feed them. Wtf such scamaments.

haha. peace.

back from Alaska

2009-06-12T11:01:00.000-07:00

Back from Alaska and what a trip it was. I uploaded 150+ pics on my facebook account if you want to check them out. It's fucking awesome out there and we had a blast. The weather was fantastic and the views and scenery were even better. There's so much land out there which just nothing but undisturbed trees, lakes, waterfalls, snow, wildlife, etc.. just awesome. Definitely never going to forget that trip. I came back with the flu, but hey, a price you pay i guess. We even rented a car and drove all around anchorage to see glaciers and icebergs and the zoo and all sorts of other things.

As far as poker goes, I've decided not to go to vegas this year for the wsop. I mean, i was going to go and spend around 8-10k on tourneys, but I've really strugged online so i'm just going to stay home this year. :o( I ended April down 15.8k, then May I was up 18k at one time, but ended +9700.00 or something like that. June has been a nightmare start. I was up 2500.00 after 3 days, but dropped 12k in the last 2 days. boo. I'm up 1700 today so far though, so maybe I'll just quit for now so I can book a win for the day.

Other than that, not much going on. My brother is getting married again in August on a cruise so that'll be fun to get out on the boat again. I thought I'd have more to type about, but I'm lost on things to say. Let's run better and get hot and win money!

just fucking fuck.

2009-05-21T20:42:00.001-07:00

played mostly 10/20 today and as always run like dog shit. I had 77 on a 742 flop vs. 22 and yep river 1 outer 2 for 4200.00 pot, but that wasn't it.... QQ v JJ for stacks at 10/20 4 handed turn J for another 4k+ pot. 5/10 lost every race known to man, it was just so nasty. I was up over 18K this month and and dropped 11.3k today. I think that's about right. I mean I almost bustoed my bodog roll chasing losses at 10/20. It's just so disgusting how bad I run at 10.20 it's unbelievable. I gotta drop down with the scrubs to try to recover. I played this idiot fish also and i shove A5 on a 10 5 7 3 board on the turn and he calls with KJ and rivers a King. I mean, wtf can i do there. I go with my reads and play awesome and just got shit on all day. It was very very frustating. I almost didn't play today too, but wtf can I do. i try to do my best, but it's just gross when the cards don't go your way. No matter how good you are or how awesome you play, it doesn't matter....

hump day rain

2009-05-20T14:06:00.000-07:00

It's been raining the past 3-4 days all day everyday. Our house smells like there's a leak somewhere under the foundation, so I have to meet with some air quality guys and construction companies tomorrow to figure out wtf is wrong. It's very frustrating because we fought with the builder of our house on this issue and they gave up on us during the warranty period. Now we are out of the warranty and it's going to be us that has to pay for this construction. They are probably going to have to dig out the side of the building and find out where this pocket of water is that the moisture detector computer thing is finding under the foundation/tile of our kitchen. Obv, very frustrating. :o(

As far as poker goes, the month has been good and swingy. I started up 15K then dropped 5500 on that one day, but had 6 straight winning days to recover that. Was down 4200 yesterday though and bet 250 on the lakers -7 and under and of course that was lighting money on fire. f sportsbetting. We watched it at Fisheye's and while the girls chit chatted, we put in a session and I actually recovered a bunch of funds, but still ended down 2214.33 yesterday. I don't have the hand history, but we were both 2100.00 deep vs this fish and he raises 30, i call, flop 488, i have 44 and he has 88. One of the worst coolers I've ever had as far as money is concerned. I did play an instructor for one of the poker training sites though because I know exactly how he plays. I built up a 6600.00 stack on him and when he doubled through, I quit him.

I'm still running awful in WSOP qualifiers. I'm in for a ton and still don't have my seat.

Ok, go Magic tonight!

a few hands, a bad night, etc...

2009-05-16T17:38:00.000-07:00

The month was going great +15k and almost recovered from last month's disaster. I have this dude that I'm up 11k on at 5/10 HU that wouldn't give me action the other night, so I told my friend Jason to play him on his account and I would take half the action. Unfortunately the guy ran super super hot and we lost like 6k. :( boo. On top of that I lost another 400 stakin my joke friends and 2200 of my own money, so basically it was a really really shitty day. I ended -5500 on that day. sigh... I'm still trying to win a seat to the main event. I got 13th in the 33r which pays nothing. I played the 650 that paid 12 seats, but I got 45th because i flip bad when it matters. I'm for at least 4k now i think for the seats. Hopefully I win one soon because this sucks!

I did recover most of the -5500 day so far so I think I'm still up 13k on the month which of course is nice. I ran awesome on stars today +8k, but lost like 7k on bodog. wtf. Why can't i win on all the sites every day all day? Here are a few hands from the session on stars. They are both interesting hands.

Anyway, we are packing for our Alaska/Canada trip and are super looking forward to it. Everything is booked and we've spent a ton of money on jackets and scarfs, gloves, hats, etc... to stay warm. Also beat Simpson in golf on Friday, but of course we didn't bet as I only win when I don't bet him.

Interesting Hand

2009-05-11T16:51:00.001-07:00

Just played this guy heads up for a while. At the start of the hand, he's up around 400-500 on me I think. He calls 3 bets too light and likes to float a lot to take pots away on later streets. I finally busted him on this hand.

on the river he's basically turning his hand into a bluff. 88-1010 is never shoving the river, well if they are, more power to them. I actually put him on 56, which wouldn't shove the river either because he has showdown value and can win vs. two big cards that i might have been barreling on. I timed down almost to zero and called and fortunately was right. May continues to be good to us!

May here me roar, roar IMO

2009-05-09T18:36:00.000-07:00

Powering through May putting in a bunch of hands and trying to play my best and quit sessions when tilting, think things through, etc...basically playing A+ the whole time. It's working out well and I'm running well up $10449.58 so far this month! Feels great to recover a chunk of what was lost last month. I told myself I wasn't going to make a withdrawal until I recovered all of the funds so we're on our way.

We are also getting super excited about Alaska/Canada trip. Ordered some rain suits for us and some jackets so we don't freeze our asses off. I also made a baller trip to Men's Warehouse. The only suit I own is a homecoming suit my dad bought me when I was 16 years old for homecoming or prom. Obviously it doesn't fit anymore. I do have a nice sportscoat, but I wanted a nice suit. So I head in there and they are having a nice sale. I try on some suits and end up getting two of them. It was buy one get one free! Of course the sales guy is like hey man you need some shirts and ties? My wife usually buys them for me but he laid them out with the suits and all of them looked so awesome from maroon to tan and even pink, so I bought all the colors and ties lol. It doesn't stop there though...He's like, how about some new shoes and socks. Ok, ship it. Don't forget the dress belt. 1500.00 later, I'm dressed to impress for life. haha

a few days off, a wedding and april results

2009-05-04T05:36:00.001-07:00

My buddy Lewie got married this weekend which was awesome. His wife is super awesome and super hot so good for him. It's 2 hours away, so we got a hotel down there for the weekend which was nice. I didn't bring the computer and the few days off was nice just to hang out and enjoy the weather. I did make it back in time yesterday for a few tourneys. I cashed the brawl and also cashed the million but went out in ugly fashion in the million kk to ak for a 300k pot. meh. I did end up +1768.00 yesterday so May is off to a good start.

April was just a nightmare that never ended. I had 3 days that I lost over 10k. The swings were pretty nasty in the downward direction and it was my first losing month in a while. I ended down 15805.11 which includes some staking that didn't go well either. We leave at the end of this month for our 2 week vacation so I'd love to get even before then. Away we go..

New activity & a small recovery

2009-04-25T18:07:00.000-07:00

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....

2009-04-20T14:53:00.000-07:00

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.

it was actually -16K after all was said and done on Tuesday. FML. This is the shit that is happening during this downswing. It's pretty gross.

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

2009-04-14T16:19:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-10T23:20:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-08T21:24:00.001-07:00

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.

2009-04-01T06:16:00.001-07:00

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....

2009-03-30T10:15:00.001-07:00

haven't posted much lately. I haven't really played a whole lot lately either. Been out and about a lot either playing live or golfing or softball or taekwondo. I went to the Daytona dog track again a few days ago and was in for 400.00 before finally getting it together and building a nice stack at 5/10 100 max florida style.

There was a hand where one dude limps, i make it 50.00 with 1200.00 behind with black aces and the other big stack who has like 650 flats me. Flop is Jc 8d 4d, I bet 80.00 and he open ships it on me. lol. I hem and haw a little and convince myself he has AJdd and of course he shows me top set, but I river the Ad pokerstars style and ship the pot. He took it pretty well though and I got really lucky. Anyway, I build a monster 100 max stack to 2700 in 6 hours before busting out of there to meet the wife for dinner. Still haven't had a losing live session at 5/10 live 100 max which is nice.

I've been trying to keep better records lately of stats and stuff and how much I win and lose each day because that's what the cpa says to do since I will be claiming pro this year. I still haven't finished this year's taxes yet, but the cpa says I can claim hobby winnings for poker since I had a real job for half the year.

March has been pretty good. I'm up 4400 in live play and another 18.2K online. I've stayed away from tourneys as well with the exception of some of the HU ones and the million.

Only 2 months until we are on a ship leaving Vancouver to go to Anchorage. We are super excited about it because we'll be gone for 2 whole weeks. We just got confirmation on our whale watching excursion to where they guarantee that you see whales and orcas and all sorts of wildlife. I bought a new video camera the other day just for the trip and I'll be sure to post all the pics on facebook when we get back. I usually post some interesting hands, but I honestly don't have any. I just bluffed like 1500 to some douchebag on UB, so I better get back to another session to recover the funds I just lost.

hopefully i was wrong

2009-03-21T19:43:00.000-07:00

After the disasterous -11.6K day, I actually woke up feeling okay about myself and put in a nice +4600 session before lunch time Friday. I took the wife to lunch like an nice husband should do and grinded some more and ended the day +7712.00 which felt awesome. We went out for some beers and watched some terrible kareoke and I called it a night. The Daytona Dog Track about an hour away has a wsop qualifer going on so the wife went to my sister's baby shower and I headed up there. f my life as the wsop qualifer is actually tomorrow, but they did have a 225.00 MTT that I was halfway excited about. Unfortunately it only drew like 35 entrants, so I said f that and played some super exciting 5/10NL 100 max florida poker. I quickly get stuck 450 mover style, but play pretty solid and run my 5th 100.00 buyin into like 550 so I'm unstuck. There were a few interesting hands against this habitual fish bluffer that I'd like to share because they are too awesome not too. You have to understand it's 100 MAX buyin, so you have to buy through a few hundos to get a stack going. Anyway, 2 limp to me, I make it 50 with QQ on the button and the fish calls who has like 250 or so. Flop is K23 and he checks and I check it back. Turn 10 and he bets 25.00 into 120.00 lol, I call. River a harmless 7 and he ships it for like 150. I ask him wtf he is doing and he says I want you to fold. (obviously he acts strong which means weak especially for fish) and I snap when he opens his mouth and he's like "you got a pair?" I say yes and he shows A4dd for busted everything and I win that pot florida style. He rebuys for another 100.00 and builds it up to like 300 when this hand occurs. Stacks are a little deeper (not nearly as deep as they should be for normal 5/10 but still.... some donk minraises to 20, the fish calls, I pop to 80.00 with AdKh from the button and both call. Flop is 8h 6d 2c. They both check to me and I decide to check it back. Turn 7h. check, the fish bets 44.00??? wtf so I peel one off obv. and the opener folds. River is a 5h which is a pretty shitty card. Final board is 8h 6d 2c 7h 5h. The dude snap ships for like 165.00 or so. I think for a while and I do have the Kh in my hand. i decide to call with ace high and he's like "do you got a pair?" and I say no and he's like Queen high and shows QJ and I'm think to mysef, "im the greatest" and show ace high and the whole table is like hevad khan style saying it's the best call they've ever seen blah blah blah. Anyway, I run pretty good and stack some more 100.00 stacks and cash out 1785.00 being in for 450.00 for a nice 1335.00 profit at 100 max florida poker lol. So after thinking it was going to take me a month to get 11.6K back that I lost, I'm 9K back already! woot!

f my life

2009-03-19T15:11:00.000-07:00

spent the last 2 days playing awesome florida poker 5/10nl 100 max at the dogtracks that are like an hour away. It's f-in hilarious just shipping it pre with any pair, broadway etc... The players there are worse than the moneymaker era if you can believe that. Anyway, I played online today for the 1st time in 3-4 days and ran horrible and lost 11.6K. yeah that's not a typo. It's like 10% of my bankroll which blows so I have to drop down and recover that which will probably take a month or so. I didn't even play 10/20 today, so f my life. I can't even say that I lost some to tilt...

on the way back up hopefully

2009-03-16T08:21:00.001-07:00

I feel like an organatang in a jungle with all these swings... In consecutive days, I was -9k, +5K, +5K, +5k, -2500, -6100, then up 3600 on friday and up like 1500 on saturday. I didn't play yesterday. Played some golf with my brother and kkeveryhand saturday. Shot 42 on the front, but fell apart on the back and still can't putt to save my life. Oh well.

Nothing really planned for the week, but here's a sweet hand to start out the monday. This is how you own someone. I tanked all the way down before calling.

the rollercoaster continues from my -9K day last week I had (3) +5K days in a row, but yesterday i dropped 6100.00. wtf? i ran like ass and it feels like i lost every race. fml.

another broken mouse FML, wait ALL IN!

2009-03-10T23:48:00.000-07:00

went out with the guys tonight for dinner at a steakhouse for Zack's birthday. I feel like everyone's daddy as my ripe age of 28 and all of the crew is like 23-25, whatever, f them cause I got more money! muwahahaha, nah seriously, zack is good people. He won ftops omaha last year for 51K and bought a benzzzz and left like nothing online to play with, wtf? so he enters the 10.00 200K last week and gets 4th for 12k, can I run like you for one day please? He said he had 30 million chips at one time LOL. Anyway, after dinner we all go bowling and RoothlusJr (yes roothlus' little brother) and Fisheye spot me 50 pins cause they average like 200 and I suck at bowling. I win the first game and lose the 2nd game to Roothlus by a pin FML. Come home after a nice +5700.00 day and obv drop 3500.00 in 20 minutes to a bunch of hit and runner donks. FML!!!!! (FUCK MY LIFE!) And obviously Im in drunk awesome mode, which I highly DO NOT recommend playing in. So I have like 10K left on Full Tilt which is rigged against me, so robusto time obv! and take another shot at 10/20 and play this pot where i go with my read and I'm obv way off, but i get lucky and SCOOOOOOOOOOOP!

anyway, i go from -3500 to +1100 ending the day +7K which of course is super!

Enjoy your week everyone and run hot!

awesomest pic i've ever seen of myself

2009-03-09T18:28:00.000-07:00

I won a little over 5K today which was awesome of course. Most of it on bodog and most of it 3 tabling a guy on 3/6 early this morning where there was no action. He was actually decent, but I ran hot as hell and took 8 buyins from him before I took the wifey out for delicious combo fajitas at chilis lol.

Anyway, here's the awesomest pic of myself and my brother at my friend's wedding a few weeks ago. We are both obviously in awesome mode mainly because this wedding was beer and wine only and my brother brought jagermeister, captain morgan and goldschlager to the wedding. lol We had to hide it from the other guests so whenever we went to the bar we ask for "members only and coke" which is the magic word for captain and coke. Without further ado I present you, our asses in drunk mode super soakin dat hoe.

2009-03-08T20:27:00.000-07:00

to run good this day, all of the way, donkeys eat hay...okay, enough of that

anyway, wtf, still rhyming.... went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure with the wife today. Pretty nice day, got a little hot in the afternoon, so we called it quits to be home in time for the Million and UB200k. Of course I lose kk vs ak all in pre in the million for like 80k pot, oh well. didn't cash those. tourneys are dumb and waste of time. From the 9k I lost, i've recovered like 3100 so that is good news.... I'm really tired, so I'll end with an awesome insult I just read on 2+2.

"It must be hard to type with those hooves"

LOL

wtf is going on

2009-03-06T14:43:00.001-08:00

what in the fuck just happened. I don't think I've ever run worse in my life than I ran today. I lost 9000.00. sigh. :o( If I played bad and lost that, it would be one thing, but I seriously can think of a hand that I got it in bad on. I lost on the river so many fucking times today, it was unreal. I'd post some barf hands, but I'd probably just throw this laptop out the window if I have to look at it anymore. So all of yesterday's awesome mode profits in the dumpster + more. sucks so bad.

having dinner with the wife and a bunch of poker buddies and their girls/spouses tonight at shogun which should be awesome. It's high end japanese where they cook in front of you and stuff. Hopefully it cheers me up.

fml.

asswhoopin at golf and a good session.

2009-03-05T18:17:00.000-08:00

Didn't play yesterday. Went golfin' with 2 poker buddies which of course brings out prop betting. They paired us up with a 4th guy who was a awesome old retired guy from Colorado. Betting from anything from the guy's age to how many wives, how long, drinks of choice, closest to pin, longest drive, etc.. I was 2 up on front vs. Seaner, but then I drank too much and he was up 8 strokes on the back lol.

Put in a 2-3 hour session today and ended +4875.00 which is always nice! Didn't save any hand histories, but it was a good day.

Random thought for the day is we had Pizza Hut's Pasta for the first time tonight and it was actually pretty good! So those commercials aren't lying... it really is pretty good :oP

here's a jokeass hand

2009-03-03T12:16:00.001-08:00

1st day playin online in 4 days since we've been gone on a cruise boat. Check out this joke.

Not bad for a few photos and a e-mail. Anyway, back to the grind...

Back from Bahamas with a funny story

2009-03-02T14:50:00.000-08:00

Just returned from Royal Caribbean cruise to the bahamas with my wife and twin brother and his girl for my birthday. The first night, we are playing texas holdem (7 handed blackjack table, sick 10% rake up to 15.00) with all these fish (2/5 500 cap) and my brother takes this atrocious beat with all the chips in the middle on the turn. I'm the calm twin and he's a f-in hot head so he turned around and yells MOTHER FUCKER! and punches the slot machine behind the table. Well, I guess he thought it was plexiglass because that m-fer shattered all over the place (it was glass obv) and I just tell him, "you're done get the f outta here hothead". The casino host immediately gets on the phone for security to kick him out and call the stateroom tomorrow to let you know the details. So, basically I keep playing and they tell me if he wasn't a diamond member (10 or more cruises) they would make him fly home from the Bahamas. We all think we are going to be lugging a slot machine home and we take prop bets on how much it's going to cost....

Fortunately security calls the next day and says you're lucky you are diamond member or you'd be flying home from Bahamas (this was the first night of the cruise lol) but we are charging you 150.00 for the glass replacement and you are banned for life from Royal Caribbean casino.

He was allowed to play bingo though in the auditorium next door though! lol

It was an interesting cruise though...our first with Royal and probably the last.. the staff was very unhappy. I always pre-tip the room steward guy or girl a 20 spot in advance so he keeps the ice bucket full for cocktails (since we bring on booze obv) and this gut had no personality, etc... We went to Nassau and Cococay in the Bahamas, Royal caribbean's private island. The casino was up and down, lost a bunch at craps the first night, then booked a nice 700.00 win at single deck blackjack, then went up 1500 playin dontpass on craps, then we go back later and lose 2K at dice sigh... the players were pretty horrendous at the poker table though. They'd buy in for like 100 or 200 and donk it all off. I ended up a bit there, no memorable hands or anything. There was a sweet seeing eye dog on board and we all took prop bets on where the dog took his dumps at. We still never figured it out, so nobody won that bet. lol

I guess that's all for now, let's run hot in March.

nuts no good. sigh :(

2009-02-27T08:50:00.000-08:00

after a nice session wednesday, i lost 6K on stars yesterday (although I did win a bit on UB and bodog) but ended down 2800. This was the biggest pot I lost yesterday. I got it in with the nuts, but lost on the river. This guy is so bad and I have a pretty big edge on him. You wait for spots like this to get your money back (as he was up 2K already on me) and after this hand I just fucking quit the session vs. him...

pretty gross....... going on a cruise today though, so that is good news! packing sucks, but I got all the members only suits and jackets packed to look sharp every night lol. peace and gl in all the majors donks!

a nice session! hands included and stuff

2009-02-25T13:40:00.001-08:00

so as I've been discussing a lot of lately... game selecting. I'm using tableratings.com which is free to look up people's stats and stuff. It's amazing all the sites like tableratings, sharkscope, pocketfives, officialpokerrankings, that have all these stats on everyone on the internet. You can see if they are a winner, loser, donkey, donator, whatever. It helps when you are looking for a game (especially heads up) and you see someone sitting by themselves, you look them up real quick to see if they are a winner online and decide to play them or not. It has graphs and everything to see if they are on a heater or a downswing as well. Pretty personal information, but hey it's free, so I have to use it to my advantage. Anyway, I see this dude by himself, so I sit with him and see he is a 8K loser on tr. while we are playing 5/10, he stacks me once I think on some wack draw then of course challenges me to 2 tables which of course I say hells yes. We are chatting back and forth because I basically don't want to lose him and he says I suck and all this and that as I win a stack or two from him. I ask if he coaches and he says yes for 400.00/hr. LOL and he's up 200k this month blah blah blah ok dude. It was quite entertaining. Here are the big hands from the session.

Here I thought he was full of shit on the flop raising me + i have 8 bellybuster outs and 3 kings thinking I'm good ++ fold equity if he folds. He snap calls so fucking fast and I get lucky on the river. it turns out I he had diamonds also, so those outs were not clean.

I ordinarily don't like to play deep, but he was pretty shitty (even though he was a coach apparently lol) so i kept playing him.

This hand is too awesome not to post.

I think I ended +6300 or so after it was all said and done. A nice session and nice recovery to the 10K I lit on fire monday night. :oD

10K in the shitcan + a new trip

2009-02-24T19:34:00.000-08:00

So my birthday is on Sunday - the big 28. yeah, I'm a old man compared to most of the internet donkeys, but whatever. We booked a cruise to the bahamas with the wife and my brother and his girl so that should be fun. Just a short 3 night one. It'll be a good getaway and a nice pre-cruise for our upcoming Alaska trip in late May.

We played some free poker at trick shots last night and of course I win like always lol. Then i'm an idiot because the wife and I got into a small tiff and she goes upstairs to bed without me, so I decide to put in a session which of course is a bad idea when you've been drinking. Well, I lost 10K at 25/50 :o( It hurt pretty bad. I sat by myself at 5/10hu and got 4300.00 of it back, but it was still brutal because I was up 2300.00 on the day and I blew through all it in like 2 minutes. I got up today and was determined to play my best and get all the 10K back if I could. Setting money goals is pretty dumb too imo.... you should just set a goal to play your best because sometimes the cards just don't go your way no matter how good you get it in. I was up around 2K this morning, then I ran out to get a 5.00 footlong from subway since I eat there almost everyday, come back and lose all of it + more running like dogshit. It's weird because I'm doing good on UB lately and bodog was pretty good as well, but I was getting crushed on stars, then the next day it's the opposite. I really don't know how I did. I know I got angry and withdrew like 8K.. sigh...

Anyway, hopefully i can put together a little run in the next few days so I can be worry free about being unstuck from the 10K disaster. That's my problem.... I'll feel like it's hanging over my head until I get that money back. Ok, no more 25/50 shots for a while!!!! and fuck donkaments too. Spent like 4000.00 on sunday just to cash for like 700.00. some serious awesome return. :o/

Anyway, this video is pretty hilarious. you guys should seriously check it out. It pretty much sums up my fucking life. lol

http://www.xtranormal.com/watch?e=20090222182227485

enjoy and run hot.

Mover

1st losing day in a while......+ a shot at 25/50

2009-02-18T16:04:00.000-08:00

i'll get the gross part out of the way first I guess. I run bad at 25/50.

There you have it, call a reraise with Q10 offsuit against AQsuited and then get there on a gutshot and have the guy who actually knows how to play cards brick the river. sigh.... fml.

I dropped 7K to a guy at 5/10 losing every flip known to man then I tilted him some too. Total damage today is like -8 or 9k which is pretty nasty because I've been having a really good month and year so far.

very disappointing.

done with full tilt

2009-02-14T21:02:00.000-08:00

yep, done with full tilt. There was a time when I made 35K in one month on that site, but it's all fallen apart. I've transferred the remainder of my full tilt money to my wife's account and used all the points up to buy some random stuff. That site is a f-in joke to me lately. I mean, it's one thing to run bad for 5K or 10K hands, but for months and months and months to continuously lose on one site while banking on another is just ridiculous. I haven't cashed a tourney on full tilt in who knows how long.... I lose to flush draws, straights, etc... i get it in as 51% favorite, 99% fav. doesn't matter.... so instead of losing the rest of the full tilt money, i just transferred it to her.

I did have a good january like +22K i think, i'm not really sure... just letting everyone know that shipitoverhere is retired on full tilt forever. lol

Vegas and the lucksack

2009-02-11T19:43:00.000-08:00

back from vegas with the mf flu, sigh.... being sick sucks. I was getting the chills and then sweating my ass off, so went to my hot doctor today and she gave me some meds and stuff so I can get better...

Anyway, on to vegas, the wife and I flew out early, josh and jason met us later on since we were staying with josh and his free suite at the Venetian. This thing was like a small 2 bedroom apartment with 2 plasmas, 3 beds, couches, desk, full bathroom, etc... really sweet deal, electronic window curtains too lol. I only played one tourney, the deepstacks 550.00 at Venetian. You start with 15K in chips. I donked a bunch off early and was down to 4K at 200/400, but built back up to 50K before losing 4 flips in a row and that's all she wrote. I played mostly 5/10 uncapped there buyin in for like 2K or so and trying to work my way up. I ended stuck like 4 or 5K on the trip which is super dumb. I had set over set 350bbs deep and somehow didn't go broke which is a good thing, but I ran pretty bad, but overall played pretty good.

We ate at some great restaurants, craftsteak house at mgm big thumbsup and then delmonicos at venetian which wasn't that good. We also make it tradition to eat at maggianos at the end of the strip every time we go there. Overall it was a great trip though and we'll be back soon.

I'm back to playing online now and I final tabled the 100rebuy yesterday, but finished 9th after shoving JJ into AA and the other AA too lol. It got me 3.1K, 1st was 35k and I was chip leader with 20 to go which was a little disappointing. I played some today, but got stuck 1500 or so really quick and ended my session. I went for a drive to the bank to deposit some checks and clear my head and stuff and came back and found a fish sitting by himself on UB, so i 2 tabled him for a while. I bluffed him 2 stacks early, but then realized he never bluffs and basically just plays his hands face up. Here's the biggest hand of the match which I got REALLY REALLY lucky on. he quit me after that which is ok because it put me back to even on the day lol.
