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...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1039621

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.

Yesterday:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1036011
-Guy was very bad...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1036017

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1036020
-blah. pretty much a cooler as I'm never folding to his RR there...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1036022
-oops...though I was value betting...

Today:

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....

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1029236
-Guy was a huge donkey, but I somehow managed to win a race...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1029240
-This guy had been pushing about every 5 hands or so. I was ready to gamble it up here...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1029241
-Same guy as last hand...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1029242

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1029251
-Blah...this is hand mentioned above. I really felt like he might fold to turn push (didn't know he was that strong) because he had been 3 betting kinda light. I still had outs...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1029254
-Hmmm....ok?

I played today. I run horrible at 200nl thats definitely official now. Also, I run horrible at 100NL these days. Can not win a fucking hand to save my life. Its sick....I played some today. 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. He's been producing some good numbers recently and I havent been playing as much or as well as I would like, not to mention im running like SHIT! Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1025883

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
-This is excellent. I like his 4 bet shove w/no FE whatso ever. I don't mind getting it in here against nothing but an OESD. Pretty shitty that he hit...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1016566
-Another well played hand by the villian...

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

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?

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:

CRAZZZZY NIGHT ON UB!

The donks were definitely out in FULL force tonight. It was ridiculous. I should have been up about $1,000 tonight at 100NL, and Im not joking what soever. I'll just show you some hands...

The guy is absolutely HORRIBLE. Later called off 120$ into a 350$ pot with AK, A high. He was horrendous, and he manages to pick up aces against my KK. HAHA

http://www.pokerhand.org/?983186
I played this hand horribly. I should have bet less on the turn, and folded to a push. But still, GREAT call with 78 there for $5 more.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?983197
This was just a sick hand. Can't see me beating much here, esp w/300BB stacks against a donk. I don't think he's good enough to put a play on me here...DOH

http://www.pokerhand.org/?983200
Great ONE outer sir...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?983204
Call preflop because were so deep and hes so bad. Decent flop. Not a bad turn, and he sucks so bad I'm willing to get it in here. GREAT CALL WITH A PAIR OF SIXES FOR A 367BB POT! SHIPPPPPITTTT.....

http://www.pokerhand.org/?983206
Same guy from hand #1. A very well played hand from Mr. Skipp. Thanks for the donation sucka...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?983211
Same guy that called off with A6. (Notice his stack now, and his stack after the A6 hand) Another great play drawing dead here. TY Erratic.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?983215
This guy was a huge donkey as well. This wasn't a very donkey hand for him though, just a cooler in my favor. Bink...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?983218
Sweet Turn...

As you can see, I won 5 pots over 100BB, the biggest being 360BBs. All in all, I am pleased for the night, but very bummed out that I could not take advantage of these donks moreso than I did. Obviously the KK vs AA hand where I lost a 460(!!!!)BB pot sucked pretty hard. Still a good night though, and I cant complain. On a good note, my monitor should be here tomorrow. I looked at the tracking thing on UPS and it's in Greensboro, the next town over, so Im looking forward to that....

Weekend Summary:

I got home Friday from the beach. Played a lot of 100 and 200NL. Saturday, I went to the golf course and hit on the range. Watched the finish of the Masters at the course and was pissed off after Tiger finished bogey bogey. Went to the movies with my friends to see Blades of Glory. Pretty stupid movie but had some funny parts. Came home and played some 100NL on UB and played quite well. Today, Easter I really played stupid. I think it's because I'm kinda tired after going to bed at 5am last night. Probably shouldn't have played much today. Oh well....On the bright side, I ordered a 20" Dell flat screen today. The one I planned on getting from PS wasn't worth it. I can just use 25k FPPs for the 285$ cash bonus. Here's the one I'm getting:



Friday: +$130.70
Hands: 2,031
Site/Limit: PS/100NL, PS/200NL

First Day Back

Ok so after I got home from the beach today I was really fired up to play some poker. I want to play on UB to earn as much rakeback as possible but I also want to reach 28,000 FPPs on PS for that 20" monitor. I'm getting very close with 22,173 points. Hopefully I'll have the 28k by the end of next weekend. I played 1k hands of 100NL on PS when I got home. Ate some dinner, came back and played 1k hands at 200NL. Overall I felt I played well at 100NL but still have a few leaks at 200NL.

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?974465
Meh...guy was like 36/28 over 75 hands at the time. Felt like he would do this with a decently wide range.

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?974468
Guy was very bad. About 51/14 over 100 hands when this happened. Blah...

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?974471

-This probably should have been a fold. This guy was at another table of mine and was very aggro. We hadn't played any hands together but he was pushing the others around. This b3b screamed set or massive draw like 89s, 9Ts, QJs. I guess the potential for the draw is what made me call. Guess it should have been a fold:

10,890 games 0.005 secs 2,178,000 games/sec

Board: Qh 7s 6s
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 37.410% 37.41% 00.00% 4074 0.00 { AsKs }
Hand 1: 62.590% 62.59% 00.00% 6816 0.00 { 7c7d, 7c7h, 7d7h, 6c6d, 6c6h, 6d6h, QsJs, QsTs, Ts9s, 9s8s, 7h6h, 7s6s }

This guy was an absolute donkey. I was just hoping he didn't fill up on the river...

-http://www.pokerhand.org/?974478
I felt like I was commited to the pot once I lead out on the flop. If he has AK doh! I like his fold for $41 more into this 300$ pot.

Today: +$130.75

MARCH

Overall March was a disappointing month. Started the month very well at 200NL but then went on a nasty downswing as you can see. I ran poorly at 200NL and even though I was rolled I wasn't ready for the mental effects of the downswing. I started grinding 100NL once again and managed to get back to green numbers. Had I not played any 200NL I would have had a great month overall. Oh well, hopefully April will be much better. Stats and Graphs:





March:
Cash Games: +$283.35
PLO: -$95.68
MTT's: -$67.70
RakeBack: +$234.29
Overall: +$354.26

Year(Cash Games Only): +$2,971.14


April Goals

-Play 25k hands (usually 30k but will not be able to start until April 6th when I get back from Spring Break
-Play 10k hands at 200NL and 15k at 100NL.
-Ofcourse, have a winning month.
