I'm Alive!

So I havent played much of late. I have had a shit ton of work to do. I still do actually, with this the last week before dead week and then exams. Exams are going to suck pretty bad but once theyre over things will be nice. I've signed up for my classes for next semester and I lucked out. I dont have class untill 1120 on MW and 1230 on T TH F. It should be pretty badass and my classes dont seem to be too hard. I played a bunch of random HU for awhile but it was too swingy for me. I would have +$1k days and then a -800 day. Pretty sick. But for now I am sticking to 100 and 200NL. I have been 4 tabling a lot of UB 200NL which is still very soft. Theres a few regs that I try to avoid (Rahzero, omniheart, piggy_banksta lately, miko77q) but other than that its not too bad. I tend to play later at night (12am-3am ET) and the play is horrible. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things with sweat sessions with Malfaire and company. Pawel (verneer) and I talked yesterday and he said it wouldnt be a problem if I hopped in their sweat sessions which I will definitely take advantage of. I'm in class right now so I dont have the exact numbers for this month. Will update later when I get back to my room. I'm going to try and update this blog as well as my CR Blog, so check them both

Biggest Day Ever....

So after whining about running bad in my last post, I came out and tore shit up today. I played 1,000 hands of 100NL early this morning (1230-415am) and won 4 BIs. Played 1750 hands of 200NL and also won 4 BIs there. Pretty pumped up as I was kind of down after the past few days. Hopefully can keep this going. Been putting in a lot of hands on UB lately and already have about 250$ worth of Rakeback. Hopefully can end the month with about 300-350$ worth. Going to try and earn enough points this week to convert them on UB. Should be able to as I already have 415. Think I'm gonna go play some live 100nl right now....

-Guy is a pretty big station, thats why I c/r so small on the turn. Kind of a cooler for him in a RR pot. Biggest pot of the day.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1512816
-He couldn't make it any more obvious he had AA/KK. Guy was like 35/1.5/.5 after 75 hands...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1512824
-guy was muy mal, obviously...

Running pretty shitty...

Been running pretty shitty the past couple of days. I've been playing OK, nothing special though. I've been trying to put in as many hands at UB as possible. This is probably -EV during the day when there is little action other than regs. The regs there aren't very good but they know enough to still make it -EV. At night its completely opposite but oh well. Kind of disappointed considering I was doing so well for the month. Hopefully this week I can get it going and turn a nice profit for the month. Heres a few hands from the past couple days...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1509808
-I was hoping he had an overpair given the way he played it. Blah...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1509812
-This guy is nuts, playing 48/34 over 700+ hands...nice turn

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1509816
-Same guy as last hand. Obviously I will get it in w/JJ against him all day long...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1509817
-Doh.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1509822
-This guy is nuts too. Will get it in every time here too...

WOW WHAT THE FUCK....

Wow tonight was the craziest poker I've ever seen. It was fucking ridiculous. I should have won about 1600$ but only won 150$ even after losing an 800BB pot! All I can say is WOW AND WTF!...

Pokerhand isn't working so here is a few hands...

My biggest three losing hands from the night all came from the same fucking donk running 83/20 over 170 hands. Here they are, the last one is B-E-A-UTIFUL!

Good Weekend

So I headed down to Wilmington again this weekend. Was really run with lots of drinking involved. Friday night got smashed out of my mind. Saturday was a little more chill but still fun. Came home tonight and realized I had a 4 page paper due tomorrow in English. What do I do? Fire up 6 tables of 200nl on UB ofcourse...and I'm glad I did.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1490475
-This guy hadn't raised a hand in 50+ hands so I just called with position expecting him not to fold anything. Calling the psb on the flop is kinda meh, but I know if I hit im gonna stack him so it was worth it. I hit, and I stacked him needless to say lol...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1490476
-This guys stats were 30/13/.8 over a decent sample. I decided to check the flop so I didn't get blown off my flush draw and its a flop that most people don't seem to fold on. The turn was golden and I knew unless he had A9 we were getting it in and I was good...

Labor Day Weekend...another excuse to drink

This weekend was pretty fun. Saturday after class I went down to Wilmington to see a bunch of friends and my brother. Started pregaming there in the dorm then ended up at a party around the corner. When we got there my brother realized he lost his phone (funny story to come). We played some beer pong and what not but the keg was floated shortly after we got there. We were promised another in 30 mins but after 45 mins of waiting, we said fuck it and decided to walk back to the dorms. We were a little drunker than we thought and ended up taking a roundabout way which took about an hour instead of the normal 20-25 mins. We got to the dorm and decided to drink a few more beers and play some GH2 (guitar hero). I ended up passing out in my girlfriends room.

So the next morning my phone rings and its Kyle (my bro who lost his phone), but I was too delerious to put 2 and 2 together. I was like nah im not answering. Finally, the 4th time he called I picked up. The following convo ensued:

Me: hello?
Lady voice: is this Kirk?
m: yea.
lv: where are you.
m:in bed.
lv: where at?
m: graham (my brothers dorm...don't know why I lied)
lv: what room?
m: 301.
lv: well im at the door let me in
m: (oh fuck) well im not there
lv: what do you mean youre not there? Where are you?
m: in a friends room...who is this?
lv: this is blah blah from the Wilmington Police Department
m: ill be right up!

Haha so I run up the stairs and meet this cop at my brothers door. She says, an old lady found your brothers phone in her mailbox this morning and called us. Why the fuck would they hand deliver that to me? that made me laugh...

Saturday we went to a friends apartment and played a lot of beer pong. Personal brag story, I made the last cup behind the back to end the game. Balla...needless to say I drank way too much and stopped remembering...

Sunday and monday I chilled at Atlantic Beach with my gf and her family.

Last week Mark (Malfaire ---> ) started a weekly sweat session. I went first last week and ran into a few intersting situations. The funniest hand of the night was when I got in w/AKcc on a Qc8cx board for 200bbs and won the pot against A6o. I've played twice since then and lost a buyin both times. Can't seem to get much going but its just a little bad run. Hope to get some more hands in tonight or tomorrow.

Funny stuff...

I got this PM on 2+2 today after that 6BI pot yesterday. But I was 6 tabling and had already sat out on my other 5 when this hand happened, wasn't even hit and running. Not to mention he played the hand absolutely HORRIBLE. I MUST be a lowlife scumbag! haha what a joke...

You won a 6 buyin pot against me today and hit and run before the big blind even hit. Two things: 1. Don't bother replying to this message because I'm blocking you and I really don't give a [censored] what you have to say. 2. You're a classless piece of [censored] who knows no poker etiquette. Learn to respect the game and your opponents you lowlife scumbag. -Sly Caveat

Played about 1000 hands on UB today at 200nl. Lost 3 buyins but had some very tough hands. In all, FUCK QQ! thats all I have to say. But played some live 100NL last night and won 75$. Going again to another place around here tonight for some more 100NL.

College

Sorry guys, have been getting settled in and haven't had much time to post between partying and classes and what not. But I've played some since I got here but not too much. Right before I left home, my computer completely crashed and I lost everything which is pretty lame and I was quite pissed. Oh well, I started my databases over and everything but still sucks to lose all of those stats and data. I played 1,100 hands yesterday and won two massive pots right near the end of the session to finally get up on the session. Here they are...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1412348
I was really worried on that turn and I was really hoping he didn't CRAI. When he checked the river, I knew he had AA and I was good. I'm really surprised he called as I had him labeled as an ok player runing about 21/17 or so.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1412595
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1412599
This guy was REALLY bad, obvious by his 230BB stack off with AJ. I was just milking him for everything I could...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1412603
Blah. I think I had to stack here given the pot odds. I was getting 3/1 on the flop push, which I'm obviously not folding for. I think he could easily show up with 88-JJ here just as often as QQ. What do you guys think?

Overall a pretty good day, winning 460$, which could have been a lot more if it weren't for some bad luck earlier in the session...

And a few pictures of the dorm and my setup. Brag: notice the brand new 17" MacBook Pro. Thing is badass...

Running Quite Well...

I have been running quite well lately. I have been playing on UB where the games seem to be coming back for some reason, which is kind of strange. The 1/2 games there are ridiculously soft lately, so Ive been playing a lot here.

A few hands from today:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1346074
For some reason, I knew he had 55 here...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1346076
This hand is a little weird. I was going to c/rai on the turn, but I'm only getting called by better T's obviously, so I figured I'd look for a high card. Ofcourse the King hits, so I think I have to pay this river bet. What do you all think? Only thing I realistically lose to is AT, KT, and 44. Guess I was looking for a chop w/QT, JT, T9, or maybe even a win over a weirdly played ace?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1346080
TY sir...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1346081
This guy is like 70/40/4 over a large sample...

Saturday

Woke up this morning and had to help my dad in the yard all day. We live out in the country and just got a connection to city water but we had to run it ourselves. Unfortunately, our house is 300ft from the road, and we had to lay all the pipe ourselves. It was a long day, but it had to be done. I came in and fired up 4 tables of 200NL on UB. I played maybe 30 mins and won 500+ which was nice. I played a bunch of tournies tonight as well. I satellited into the FT 150$ tonight and was doing pretty well. I ended up getting all in pre with a 10k stack at 250/500 blinds with AKvJJ and lost. Oh well. I was also deep in the 24$ but ended up losing 99 to AA all in pre late. I cashed in the 3$ rebuy on PS for like 39$ which was lame. One hand really pissed me off at the 1500/3k blinds, I completed the small blind w/QQ and the BB pushed in for 60K and I had about 75k, I instacall, he flips A9, turn A, gg my stack. I grind it back up to 60k when I shove 22 on the button at 2.5k/5k with 60k stack. BB calls with KQ, flop J9x and I knew I was done. River T, GG me....

Overall a pretty good day, but I am pumped for tomorrow. I satellited into the PS Mill through a FPP sng and I satellited into UB's 50 Aruba Seat giveaway. As of now there is 484 people playing. Will probaly be a shade over 500, which gives me a 10% chance of going to Aruba which would be bad fucking ass. Im going to try and satellite into the UB 200k and FT 500k tomorrow as well. If not, oh well I'll just fire up some 1/2. I think I'm getting to the point where I need to start playing 1/2 instead of .5/1, but we'll see how things go...

Finally Home...

So I finally made it home from Europe. Was definitely getting the itch to start playing again. Been playing a lot since then. Won a 500$ seat into the big 50 seat guaranteed to Aruba on UB. Planned on unregistering, but apparently they changed their policy and you cant unregister if you satelite in. Guess I gotta play it, and you never know, I could be in Aruba haha. Also won a seat into this sundays 1mil on PS. August has started out really well for me, and I hope it continues...

Europe Tomorrow!

Ok so I'm leaving for Europe tomorrow. I'm pretty pumped up obviously. But I will hopefully be able to check in every now and then but the majority of my internet time will be spent updating my EuroBlog which can be found here: http://kirkseurotrip.blogspot.com/

Lack of Updates...

Sorry for my lack of updates. I have been crazy busy for the past few weeks. I have played about 1k hands of poker in this timespan. I had to finish up all of my school shit and graduate. Last week I spent the week at the beach for senior beach week and was pretty drunk for a good portion of this time. I am leaving for Europe on Wednesday (finally got my passport today) and will not be back until July 20th. It will be a good break from poker and I am really looking forward to it. Once I get back I plan on putting in a ton of hands with the start of college and all. I feel like I will have a lot more free time to study the game and put the hands in. Hopefully I can work up to some higher limits and make some more money. I'm not sure if I'll post anymore before I leave but to everyone who reads this I'll be back in late July (If i don't get arrested haha)...but gl to everyone and I'll see you around...

I've had a lot of shit going on with school since graduation is next Saturday, been doing a lot of partyin on the weekends, and just got guitar hero 2. May has been a very good month except for one day where I dropped 5 buyins at 200nl which sucked pretty bad. Oh well, what can you do. I didn't play nearly the # of hands I wanted to due to the stuff above. I only played about 1/2 of my normal # of hands yet still managed to have my 2nd best month this year at cash games. Unfortunately, I will not be getting hardly any hands in in June and July with Senior Beach Week and my EuroTrip taking out the majority of both months...

Wish I could play longer...

So I was forced (not really) into working today. I hate working because I make 6.50$/Hour for doing shit work at the local Chick-fil-a. I haven't worked in about 3 or 4 weeks because its just not worth it when I can play poker and make a lot more. My manager really needed me tonight so I figured I'd go in. I thought maybe it had changed but soon after I arrived, I realized how much I hated working there. Luckily that may have been my last time working there for awhile because of school ending, senior beach week, and my europe trip.

So I come home and feel completely grungy from slaving over a frier all night. I take a quick shower and plan to get in a quick session. I've mentioned it before (I think) but I always finish up my poker sessions by 12am when I have school the next day. For one, I do not focus as well the later it gets because fatigue sets in. Secondly, I have to set a stopping point. If not, I'd play and play until I look down and its 3 or 4 in the morning. So I got home about 10:30ish, took a quick shower and sat down to play around 11ish.

I fired up 6 tables of 100nl on PS. I started off kind of sluggish with a few cbets getting called and getting my cbet reraised on a bricked flop in a 3bet pot, which ended up being my biggest lost pot of the night. I ran really well for the hour I played and finished up 4 buyins which is sweet. I haven't played since last Thursday because I was at the lake all weekend. Here's some hands (all winners because my losers were just basic cbet/folds)...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1120200
-One of the last pots of the night here. I really didn't think 99 was in his range. I really felt like he had AA or AK because his stats say he's pretty tight and I was playing pretty tight. I didn't think he was raising my utg raise that light OOP. Obv a great flop for me and a cooler for him...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1120205
-I felt like my bet was small enough to get a raise from any PP and maybe Axish hands. Obv didn't think he'd felt 88 but I'll take it...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1120206
-Great flop. Thought the river shat on me but luckily I scooped it...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1120208
-This guy was pretty nitty at like 17/13. I really couldn't put him on a 4 or TT. If he slowplayed KK or AA, I'm going broke for sure. Wonder what he had to fold to the min raise all in? Air?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1120212
-I would like some comments on this hand. On the flop, I felt if I cbet and got raised, he would be pot committed. I felt like a c/r would create more FE and make my hand look that much stronger. If he checks behind, I get a free card for my straight. Thoughts?

Decent day...

I had a decent day today. I was up decently at 100nl and I lost a few big pots. One my read was just way off, will post. I also played some 100nlHU. I didn't play much tonight because I'm pretty tired.

Ran for the first time today in forever. Since I dont have golf practice anymore, I have to do something outside. I ran something like 2.6 miles which I used to could do with no problem. Today I felt like an old man but I managed. Hopefully I can get back into decent shape.

Tomorrow after school, a bunch of friends and I are going to a friends lake house. We are gonna spend the weekend there and do a lot of fishing and a lot of drinking. Its our warmup for senior beach week after graduation. Will probably leave after school manana, get there and do some crappy fishing. Chill and drink for awhile. Pass out, wake up, drink some more and chill on the lake all day. Drink some more then go cat fishing all night. Sounds like fun to me...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1107132
-I really didn't think he was this strong. I had stacked him earlier when my JT>KK. I felt he was kind of steaming still as called preflop very quickly and pushed over top of me quickly. I felt he could have a worse A or QQ, KK and didn't think I could possibly have an A. Oh well, I went with my read and it was wrong...sucks...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1107143
-Second biggest pot I lost on the day. HAHA...

Busy...

Sorry for lack of updates. I forgot to post about how we qualified at regionals for the state tournament this monday and tuesday. We spent all of last week getting ready and I didnt have much time for poker. Saturday I had prom, which sucked pretty bad (will post pics later). Left early Sunday morning for a practice round at the state tourney. Spent the night in a hotel the last 2 nights and Im dead tired after playing today. I played some tonight. Ran HORRIBLE as people suck bad and what not...hopefully can get some hands in on PS this week bc of the 2xFPP promotion which is sweet....heres a few brilliant hands from tonight...

Too tired to post stats right now...lost a little over 2 buyins...

I guess you can call it a HEATER

So in the past 3 days, I have been on an absolute tear for my standards. I am definitely running quite hot, but I feel my game is coming along as well. Maybe its not and I just think it is, but for the most part I feel like I am making quality reads, calls, and folds...

FWATCHHHHAAAAAAA......

I finally managed to have a big day today. I played some yesterday morning and had a great session going before one the worst beats in awhile (hand below). Today I had my best day ever. At one point, I was up over 1k at 200nl, but later dropped back. I ran well but I think I played great as well. The amount of donks on PS today also helped...

Saturday:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069610
-after the hand he said "You deserved that for raising so much"...haha! I guess he put me on KJ?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069614
-I've been thinking about this hand for awhile. It's pretty tough because I'm OOP and the guy is a laggy reg (24/19ish). Also, a guy had posted and I think this makes his range a little bit wider because he may have thought I was just raising to pick up the free blind? What do you think here? Maybe lead and fold to a push? C/R minish and fold to a push?

Today:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069625
-I think I misplayed this hand. Should have raised the flop fo sho...the river bet is meh looking back, but nice play with K7? (Biggest pot I lost all day btw)

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069627
-Its nice to have a cooler go in my favor...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069630
-WTF? I dont win races...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069631
-I planned on c/r the flop AI but he didn't oblige. I figured I'd slowplay the turned flush which paid off I guess...not sure what he folded for 57$ more on the river, but must not have had shit...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069633
-Haha...I had already 3bet his button raises like 3 or 4 times so I guess he was getting frustrated...

Lost the challenge...

But at this point I really couldn't care less. I planned on playing tonight to try and make up some ground because I am way back after this weekend. But honestly, I am just too pumped up to play right now. Today, our golf team won the conference championship (18 holes) and won the overall conference. We were down 1 stroke coming into the day, and only shot +3 as a team (4 best scores out of 6). I played one of the rounds of my life in competition and shot a 75. It was a great round but definitely could have been better...

I started out very solid with a birdie and three straight pars. I missed a 5 footer for par on my 5th hole, but followed it up with a birdie the next hole. After my first 10 holes I was -1 and feeling great. On #13 I made an ok bogey but three putted #14 which sucked. I also three putted #16 for bogey. I ended up shooting 36 on the front side and 39 on the back. These are really great scores for me in competition. It really felt nice to peak at the end of the season. I have invested so much time, effort, and money into golf since the time I was about 12 years old.Now we go onto the regional tournament and hopefully can advance to states.

This was really special for our team as we have grown up together. Five out of the six starters are seniors and have played on the team since we were freshman. We really pulled it together today. Our #s 1 and 2(my twin bro) shot 70s (-2), I had a 75 (+3) and we had a 76, 78, and a 79. It sucks to lose this challenge this month, but at a time like this I really don't give a shit about poker. I have looked forward to this day for the last 4 years and it feels great.

At our highschool, it is a tradition to roll the front entrance if you win something big. This definitely constitues a rolling, so we did just that. We gathered $ from all the parents and friends. We ended up with $305, yes $305, from everyone. Needless to say, we went into walmart and emptied the shelves. It was insane. Ive never seen so much t.p. in my life! HAHA

I have to congratulate Malfaire, as we both ran pretty shitty but he managed to pull it off. Unfortunately I finished down in the challenge, but up overall for the month. I feel my game is definitely coming along and I making the right decisions. Now if I could just win a few hands lol. Next months gonna be a big one, I can feel it...

I will post an April Summary tomorrow when i feel like worrying about poker. But tonight I really don't give a shit about it. Theres more important things in life than poker, thats for sure!

Me last Wednesday at our match:


Me dropping an 18' putt for eagle:


The action shot:


Me and my girlfriend on the tee after a par 3 got backed up:



Don't feel like putting up stats right now. Not because they are horrible, but just because I'm gonna do an April summary tomorrow. Those who do read this and play poker, theres more to life than just poker. Go out, do what you want, and have some fucking fun...

Would anyone like a cooler?

Today, from the get go, was pretty sick. Every single hand I lost was pretty much a cooler. Either I was getting the odds to call or I had a hand that got out flopped. I played HU for a little while, then played some 6max on PS. Take a look...

HU:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1039605
-I mean can this honestly be folded? HU, I'm calling this everytime. Sweet...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1039606
-Blah. I guess I could have just called the raise on the river. Like the 3bet AI or should this just be call?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1039609
-Surprisingly, I actually won a few hands as well...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1039611
-Guess I could have called his min raise and shoved the river. But If a club comes, it'd be tough. I didn't mind putting it in here...

PS 6 max:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1039614
-I'm guessing most people go broke here....anyone folding this to unknown?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1039616
-Pretty sure I have to call here as well...

Woot...

Sorry about not posting yesterday. Was fairly tired when I got done, and did not feel like posting. I played some HU on FT for about 45 mins, ate dinner, chilled with my girlfriend, then played some on PS.

Today, we had our final conference match of the year. Now, all we have left is the 18 hole conference championship. Our team is currently 1 stroke behind the leader whom we hope to take over Monday. We were at our home course today and I really felt good coming in. The greens were really shitty but the course is ok and my swing felt great. I started with a good par, blah bogey, good par. Then came to #8 (shotgun start on 5) a short par 5. I knocked my second shot to about 20 feet and drained the putt to get to -1. I parred 9, the hardest par 3 on the course and 1. Number 2 is another par 5 but I had to lay up because of a creek short of the green. I ended up missing a 3 foot par putt to get me to E. I ended up bogeying 3, a par 3, and 3 putted #4 for a +2, 38. Its not bad, but defintely had the potential to be a lot lower.

I came home, grabbed some food and chilled for a little while. I then fired up 4 tables of FTP 100NL and started grinding. After my match today I am mentally exhausted and only managed to put in 464 hands, but turned a very nice profit.

I run not shitty....

I finally managed to break out and have a very good night. I played some 6max on PS and HU on FT. I finally got some hands paid off and didn't lose too many races. I felt like I played very good and can not remember any hands I played too badly, except for one HU (will post). Our team won our golf match today which was pretty badass. Only 5 shots out of first place in the conference (out of 7 teams) with a 9 hole match at our home course and the 18 hole conference championship at our home course. Hopefully we can come out on top. I struck the ball very well today but could not putt or score. Ended up with a 44 (+7) despite hitting the ball excellent. Oh well, hopefully the wind will die down and I can find my putting by wednesday....

Kinda tired and dont feel like writing much...Im really getting disappointed in my results. I hope I can go on a mad heater so I can atleast try and catch up to Malfaire.

I run muy bien at 200NL

So I played some 200NL tonight because I was feeling good. It was bad, i'll explain in a sec. First I want to, since I have time tonight since I'm not playing any more poker, expain this "assassins" game I mentioned earlier. Heres how it goes. All the seniors from my high school and our crosstown rival that want to play pay 5$. A moderator takes everyone who is playing and makes a huge circle of names. He then gave each of us a card with the name of the person we were to assassinate. Once you kill your person (with a watergun), you get the person they were to kill. Basically, like I said, its a big circle and the last one standing wins. We had about 100-120 people playing so the prize pool is about 500$. 75% of this goes to the winner and 25% goes to the person with the most kills. I really want to win and get like 500$ haha. The rules are that you cant get shot at school, work, church. If someone is about to shoot you, you can get down into just your boxers (bra and panties for girls) and get immunity for 24hrs if they shoot you. You can also shoot the person that is trying to shoot you and get 24hrs immunity. So this started about 3 weeks ago and I already have 4 kills (think I may be leading).

My first kill, I had no idea who the kid was as he went to the other school. Luckily, I was at work one night and a coworker from that school said he was outside. I went outside and shot him. He had my brothers x-girlfriend. I got my brother to call her and ask her for one of her school books. We went to her house, I hid beside the door and when she came out I waxed her. The next dude I had never heard of. I asked around and found out where he lived. One day after school I went and chilled outside of his house for like 45mins but he never showed. I came back later that day, rung the doorbell, he answered, I capped him. He a friend of mine that I dont see much. I knew she worked at a local restaraunt and that she never locks her car. So tonight I parked in a nearby shopping center and walked to her car at about 8:45 (the restaraunt closes at 9). I climbed in the back seat (Jeep Wrangler) and waited. And waited. And waited. Until finally at 9:45 she comes out. She was obviously weary of someone being in the bushes as she got her boss to walk her out. She looked around in all directions and finally felt it safe to walk to her car. She opened the door, sat down, and I popped up and shot her. I was going to wait until she started home and shoot her like halfway there to scare the ever living shit out of her but i decided not to. She was kinda upset that I killed her but she gave me her person and off I went. I now have 4 kills and I think im leading in that department. Wish me luck haha. (May not be the best time to talk about "assassinating" fellow classmates after the VTech tragedy.)

As for poker today, I played for about 40 minutes. I had about an hour after dinner and before my assassination plot to kill some time. I felt I was playing well and decided to try my hand in some 200NL. WOW. Thats all I have to say. I seem to run HORRRRRRRIBLE at 200NL. Its just sick.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1016565

Crap Luck Early leads to Late Rally...

I really ran crappy early on tonight. I only played 4 tables of UB 100NL to work on my game a little and played very well. I don't think I made many mistakes at all other than timing out once in a big pot. Early in the session I just had some really shitty luck. Luckily, I turned it around and was able to have quite a nice session.

Early on in Session:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1013257
-no explanation necessary

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1013259
-I love flopping top two in RR pot only to find he flopped a set...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1013263
-This guy is major passive...probably don't even call turn w/o FD. Can't really see myself folding river as he could have any 2pr or maybe KT+

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1013271
-guy is very bad...no point in leading as he will call w/any 2...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1013273
-I made up my mind on the flop here that I was repotting any turn. I didn't really like to see the heart fall but ofcourse it gives him a 2 outer lol...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1013278
-He's paying off a river bet here...

Later in session:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1013279
-This was a very tough call and I almost folded. But then I realized how big of a donk he was...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1013282
-If he's gonna shove any turn, mine as well push flop here. I'm not paying off a turn heart...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1013284
-Great call down. 3 overs and I bet every street. Usually I like to triple barrel w/nothing...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1013287
-Tough spot. I tanked it on turn debating whether to c or b. I decided to bet because the BB was awful and DIGGLER was very passive. He may pay me off w/TT+ here. He later said he folded TT. I might have been able to get a little more value w/a check knowing that...

A few hands tonight

Didn't play much tonight. Needed a little break. Went to golf practice. Came home and chilled for a bit. Went and assassinated (will detail later when I have time) my next victim. Went to a tux place to get my shit ready for prom. came home. Played a few hands of 200NL. Played a few hands of 100NL.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1009462
-Felt like a turn bet would take it down. The bet on the A didn't scare him so no way Im good. Probably a set moreso than AJ here...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1009465
-LOL

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1009467
-Pretty crappy player. Pretty standard call.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1009469
-Took a chance with the turn c/r and it paid off...

Running like SHIT+ playing mediocre=not good

Overall I feel like Ive ran pretty shitty the past few days. Cant seem to win many races, sets getting busted, overpairs getting busted...I need to stop digging myself in a hole early and trying to get out for the rest of the session. I need to start up and stay up. Hopefully in the next few days I can break out a HUGE session and win 5+ buyins. Would be very nice...poker gods? Ill just post a few hands. A few were bad calls. Few were just gay as shit...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1005936
-guy was huge donk, but looking bad still should have folded. I felt at the time that the board was draw heavy enough to call the all in.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1005938
-Top two is good 90% of the time against this guy. Absolutely horrible calling station. Could have rereaised pre I guess but I wanted action from him.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1005942
-overaggro lagtard...great flop

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1005943
-guy just sat down. I felt he could be doing this with any 4, 22, 55, A4, and 46. the straights were very unlikely, and if thats what he had I had outs. GREAT FUCKING CALL PREFLOP....


http://www.pokerhand.org/?1005944
-Another donkey who was paying people off left and right. I guess he played this hand pretty well but im still staking off here 100% of the time against this guy. Another flopped straight...thats 3 for full BIs in last 2 days?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1005949
-Horrible call by me. I beat AK and AQ which he would have RR pre. But still a very nice 2 out turn. (I slow down w/any card other than J and he folds any other turn)....

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1005953
-blah...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1005955
-One of very few nice pots...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1005958
-solid player....probably thought I was squeezing...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1005961
-pretty standard...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1005963
-great CALL with A high...

Fuck work....

I wanted to play a bunch of hands tonight but had to work after our golf match today. We won the golf match though so that was pretty cool. I shot a really shitty 42 and should have been much better. After the match, I had to go to work which is very lame and retarted. I make a lot more sitting at home playing poker than working for a few hours at $6.50/hour. I was only able to get in about an hour of play. I played on UB in hopes of getting 1k UB Points for the weekly bonus upgrade but didn't quite make it and only got 28$ bonus instead of 56$. Overall I had a very good session and ran quite hot. I wish I could have played more hands and maybe I could have won as much as Malfaire, who had a ridiculous night. Congrats. Also, I am leaving for the beach tomorrow with my gf so no poker this weekend which kind of sucks. I love playing on the weekends with all of the donks. Oh well, I guess I can make it up before the end of the month!

A few hands:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?993580
-Very sweet...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?993582
-Definitely beat here. This hand was before the next.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?993584
-Same opponent as last hand. Proves I was beat in the above, as he calls flop with nothing, calls turn w/OESD, hits on river and checks. GREAT CALLS ALL AROUND...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?993586
-TY

http://www.pokerhand.org/?993588
-Kinda glad I checked turn now. But at the time, I didn't want to face a huge RR this deepstacked. pussy play?

Variance is a BITCH

Tonight was bad. I couldn't seem to win much of anything. Started down, went further down, came up a little, and went down some more...

NEW APRIL CHALLENGE...

So Malfaire decided to call me out in his blog and created a little challenge. We decided to have a little competition to improve both of our games over April. Here are the rules...

-100NL, 6max only
-Obviously must include all results, no leaving out a bad day ;-)
-12k hands minimum (Should be fairly easy with 21 days left in April)
-Highest profit gets 2.5% of losers profit
-Highest BB/100 gets 2.5% of losers profit
-If one player loses money on the month, he owes 25$ to winner
-Yea we both update blogs daily, or every other day so no biggie there.
-Competition starts tonight(4/10) and previous results do not matter

So I got my new monitor today (pictures below) and decided to 6 table on PokerStars tonight. Little did I know that 2 more tables meant twice as many suckouts! I seemed to lose every pot for my first 1600 hands. Luckily I made a nice comeback in the last 400 or so. Looks like I have a decent head start on Malfaire after checking his blog tonight. Although we seem to be at it, we're just online friends looking to push ourselves lol.

Todays Session: Wow look at the swings!



So here's some screen shots comparing my old monitor to my new one:
