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...

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.

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:

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?

TY sir...

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...

May

Sorry for lack of updates. I have been extremely busy lately. 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...
