I've been on a roll these past 2 days baby!! Yesterday i won a quick hundred playing a bunch of sng's and today i played 3 sngs and got a 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd!! The big money has come from cash games where i won about 300 today!! The cards seem to be hitting me in the face, and it's wierd...i kind of feel bad about it, like it's not my good play that has won me the money, its just me catching cards...not bad, but i dont know....strange...like i'm just getting lucky to hit good cards, which is the most absurd feeling EVER to have...hence the reason it's wierd!! I know there are a few big pots where i left some money on the table and those 2 hands are kind of bugging me, but i can't really explain it ( just calling on the river when u make your flush is such a nitty play....yes there was a paired board, and it was only a 9 high flush, but i KNEW i had him beat)....oh well, i'm well over due for having a nice heater like this, so i'll enjoy it while it lasts!!
Anyway, i'm very pissed at my poker tracker/laptop right now!! So i won a $213 pot when my kings held against ??? and literally seconds afte this hand, my computer froze...so after i restarted it, and fired up my poker tracker again...the hand was gone!!!!!!!! Like i've said earlier, i'm a stats oriented person, and i like being able to look at how i'm doing, how i'm playing certain hands, etc, and not having this monster hand on there sucks!! Not to mention the fact that the $200 pot would take me out of the red in my .50-1 limit lol Oh well, i know it happened, and my pokerstars bankroll definaetly know ti happened, and that's all that really matters! lol
Ok, i'm gonna take a quick nap before work, but it was suggested to me by one of my readers errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr my one reader lol....that i need to do something to spice up the blog, like a top 10 list of some kind, so next blog, i will have something new for you...until then may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters LOL

Poker has been berry berry good to me
So i played 3 sng's today..1st in a $30, 1st in a $20 and 7th in a $20 when my KK lost to 82 offsuit....yup, flop came 962 rainbow...he checked, i bet, he raised me, i made a huge push all in (this was at the 15-30 level) and he called instantly....at this point i figured i was dead to a set...nope, he calmly flips over 82 offsuit (which by the way, he called a raise with) and proceeds to hit 107 for the straight....gg murph!! I decieded to call it a day after that booking a nice $140 win only playing 3 sng's
Lastnight was a funny night. So i'm playing a sng and it gets to heads up...after about 5 minutes i can tell this guy is pretty good and he asks "hey, did you get divorced or break up with a g/f about 6 months ago"...so i'm like "what r u talking about"...he says "judging by your sharkscope, thats what it looks like" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA i just about died laughing!!!! I told him he was bascially dead on and my g/f moved away about 6 months ago (for those of you who don't know, about 6 months ago, my sharkscope had my sng winnings at about -300....now, they sit well over $1000) I couldn't believe how funny that was that this dude nailed it dead on! When my g/f moved away, it left a whole lot more time to concentrate on poker, and play a lot more...hence my sharkscope ROI being over 20%...anyway, thought that was rather funny...later in the heads up, he asks me if i've ever played zelda....so i tell him yes, way back when....he says he feels like he's at the end of the game, where you have to fight yourself HAHAHAHAHAHAHA again, i dead laughing saying that was one ofthe best references i've ever heard (if you never played the game....just trust me, this is very funny) so i ended up finally beating him when my KJ outdueled his A5....it was a crazy heads up though becuz it literally took 20 minutes, and the blinds were up to 400-800 at that point!!!! I looked him up after, and he had over 10k in earnings on sharkscope, so i went to bed feeling good!!
Ok, thats it for now, gotta had to ork...i've got tomorrow off, so lets hoep for big things!

Logic
So after donking away a few hundo playing some .50-1 cash games these past few days, i did the most logical thing...moved up to play some 1-2nl...and proceeded to win 360 bones!!! It was pretty sweet! Caught some big hands, and finally got paid off on them ( i think that has been one of the main reasons i've been losing at .50-1), before today, i hadn't gotten paid off on ANYTHING!!! Yesterday, the only 2 sets i flopped, i managed to lose both of them, each a $200 pot and man was i steaming yesterday!!! But after getting paid today on a couple sets, justice has been served i guess. I actually had set over set flopped on me, and managed to only lose 22 bucks!!! I played it very cautiously becuz i knew something smelt fishy, and sure enough, he flopped a set of 5's and i floppped a set of 2's....good thing he played it like a complete donkey
So sng's i couldn't be running worse...i really cannot count how many times i've been sucked out on with like 4 or 5 guys left...every single time, i push with a10 or aj...i get called by some shit like k9 or q10 and lose...yes, they haven't been gross suckouts, it just seems like i've been losing a hwole lot of 65-35 hands, and they always seem to happen with 4 guys left!! It's becoming VERY frusterating!!
ALTHOUGH, i actually hit a 1 outer today on the 2nd hand of a MT. UTG limp, a few guys called, i was in the cutoff with KK, i made it like 140, button calls, and UTG pushes (it was only a ffp tourny for the bahamas, so i say f-it, i'll call) and the button calls, UTG has AA, i have KK, and button has AK...so i have 1 king in the deck...and i rivered it LOL...then, becuz i can be a huge dick, i started ripping him for playing it like that....i've never seen so many f bomsb on one screen in my life from this guy...gg bro!
lastly...if i hear one more person say 30 degrees and windy, or 25 degrees and snowy is perfect football weather, i'm going to kill someone!!! This is not perfect football weather, this is BRUTAL football weather...i know, i played!!! 69 and calm is perfect football weather. I'm not sure where anyone thought up the idea of saying freezing rain or snow is perfect football weather, but i would bet the house they never played the game...and if they did play the game, i'd be willing to bet even more these ppl. never actually touched the football in a real game (linemen). So never again do i want to hear someone say when its freezy cold and windy "today is a perfect day for football" becuz you need to give your head a shake!!!

Mr 2nd place
Got off the #$*& wagon today and came in 2nd in a big multi table for just under 900 bones!! It was the $16.50 buy in with 360 ppl. Played really solid the whole way from start to finish! Cruised into the final table 2nd in chips and pretty much just took my share of blinds until ppl started to drop. 3rd and 4th were busted in 3 hands, and next thing i know, we're heads up. $1300 for 1st! I've got about 120k in chips, he has like 450k...i seriously didn't see one face card the entire heads up!! The blinds were relatively low so i wasn't sweating it, eventhough i was almost 4to1 outchipped. Blah blah blah, i finally saw 77 which looked like AA at this point and pushed, he insta called with A5...the rest is history!
It was a strange tourny though. There really wasn't a single point in the entire tournament where i felt really nervous. Usually when i get close to the final table, and especially the final table, the nerves start going, but they really didn't today. In the long run, i think thats a good thing becuz i'm becoming more comfortable playing for thousands of dollars and i won't play scared next time i get back to a fianl table!
Ok, gonna play some cash games, then i have to goto bed early tonight, if anything significant happens, i'll post about it, but don't expect one.
Murph
ps the bankroll is at an all time high right now after leaking away a few hundo these past few weeks

IT"S GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE RED PEN IS GONE!!!! I woke up this morning and my roommate left me a note...in red pen, and now the pen is gone!!!! She must've taken it with her... What the H am i going to do LOL
Murph
Murph
It's all in the pen
Gonna keep it quick, but i think i've figured out the sng slump...played in 4 today and had 2 3rds 1 2nd and 1 1st...the problem u ask??? I was always using the same red pen to write down my results....about a week and a half ago (right when the slump started) i lost the red pen and started to use a black pen...today...found the red pen and voila!!! I should write a book on this type of stuff!!
No big scores today...played an assload of MT's and cashed in a few, nothing big though...tomorrow will be more of the same....hopefully the results will change though.
Murph
ps yeah no more PCA for this guy...i just can't stand to play THAT nitty...blinds get to 50/100...everyone is still around, and now it turns into off to the races, its the gayest thing i've ever been involved in, and as u move up steps, it becomes nittier and nittier...so yeah, played my step 5 today, came in 8th when my AK lost to 66...pretty sweet

The dreaded disconnection
The subject bascially says it all. Is there anything more horrific then getting disconnected when you are playing deep in a sng or mt??? I'm an idiot and very lazy, so eventhough i bought my new laptop about 2 months ago with a defect in it (the defect being it WILL freeze within the first couple hours of turning it on...this is a given), i still haven't brought it back yet. Anyway, i'm playing 3 sng's...one of them i'm in 3rd with the 3 left, one i'm 3rd with 4 left, and the other one i'm heads up with VERY big blinds at this point....FREEZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice timing!! By the time i log back on, i've already busted in 3rd in the one, and i have 1 bb left in the heads up match lol...the sng with 4 left....i was now in 4th with 2 bb's...i was just sick!! I really need to take this back to the store and have them look at it!!
Anyway, don't really feel like blogging today, so this is gonna be it...ended up losing about 25 bucks today...whatever...playing some mt's tomorrow, so maybe i can make a final table or 2

Round up
So, i got back from AC sunday night, and monday morning flew to visit my g/f, so i haven't played any poker since the weekend...i finally got back home Wednesday night late (around 130am) and immediately donked off a quick 100. I knew i was running good when within 5 minutes of starting my sng, i pick up AA, raise, get re raised, guy pushes, another guy calls, i call, and the original re raiser calls, 4 guys all in on the 1st level...i was up against AK twice!!! and QQ...clearly a Q hits and i'm drawing dead...welcome back to poker Murph! Including lastnight and today, i have flopped the STONE COLD NUTS 4 times, and taken down none of them lol...not onl have i flopped the nuts 4 times, i managed to get all the money in the pot on the flop!!!!!! I've deciceded i'm taking a few days off from cash games...i'm on mega tilt right now, this halfway stems from the whole AC debacle, but i've been running so bad its not even funny!!
On the bright side, i won another step 5 today!! So now i've got a step 4 and 5 in the bank, lets make something happen with these!!
On to more sweet luck...Played a $20 mt today, and we were down to 2 tables...1.4k for 1st, and i'm in 3rd loving life...until 3 hands later...3 times being whored by pokerstars, and a 15th place finish...AJ vs A7...AJ vs Q10 then my JJ of course runs into QQ...gg murph
Onto AC...
So we get there around noon on sat. and we decide to play at the trop...after about 5 hours, we go get something to eat from the noodle bar (not really, but it sounds a lot better) and i'm up about 200 feel AMAZING!!!! At this point i've played some incredible poker. One hand that saved me my stack was when i layed down my pair and flush draw on the turn for only 25 bucks becuz i KNEW one of the 2 guys behind me had a bigger flush draw...sure enough, my spade hits on the river...2 guys get it all in, and my read was right, the guy to my left had a bigger flush, and my fold saved me my stack! Anyway, i'm crusing along with about 750 in front of me when i pick up KK in the sb. UTG who is tight raises to 15, one guy calls, so i make it 48 to go, utg calls, other guy mucks. Flop comes Q84, i bet 90, this guy pushes for like 200 total...now i knew he was tight, and figured he had QQ or possibly AQ but i can't lay it down, i call, he has QQ, $500 his way! This was a dagger. So this throws me off my game when near the end of my night, i flop a jack high flush...yada yada yada, board pairs, gives this DONKEY who limped with QQ a boat, and he stacks me (don't even get me started on this guy limping with QQ). So i call it a night ready to kill someone stuck 300.
Wake up around 9 the next morning and head back to the trop looking to at least break even for the trip. (i'll makethis as quick as possible). 2nd hand i sit down at (the retarded trop opended a new table with only 6 ppl) i pick up 74 of clubs, i limp, guy next to me raises to 7, i call...flop a flush he flops his ace, turns his Q and pushes over the top of my 100 bet on the turn with 2 pair vs my flush...it holds and i'm back to even for the trip baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now my stack is at around 650 and it just leaked until a stormed off berating this pregnant women after sucking out on me with 195 bucks...so for the trip i'm stuck 400. BUT, on day 2, i've never seen so much bad luck in my life. I flop trips, other dude flops 2 pair, so as i'm ready to take his whole stack just like anyone who flops trips vs 2 pair, except, i fill up on the turn, only to give this donkey a bigger boat...nice 2 outer bro (and he slammed his cards on the table...i was ready to fight...so that was a nice 380 pot that should've come my way). Mix in many hands like this, and my final hand of the weekend i have 68 in the sb, flop comes A68...i bet 15, get 1 caller (i KNEW this chick had a weak ace), turn is a 2, i bet 38, she calls...river..the beautiful A of spades, giving me the powerful 3 pair...i bet 20, she calls...turns over A4, i was counterfieted, $120 her way.
I've become very jaded with Atlantic City. I'm a winning online player becuz i play literally every single day...almost. So i can overcome the variance of running bad, or having a bad day becuz i know i'm going to playing again tomorrow. BUT, when i goto AC once every 2 months or so, i can't overcome the variance. If the cards aren't falling my way, there is nothing i can do. I have to try to play through it becuz i'm going home the next day. I play live poker maybe 5 or 6 times a year, and if it just so happens that the cards are not gonna fall my way for these days, i'm going to get crushed (like i have the last 3 times i've been to AC) Oh yeah, by the way, sunday, i picked up kk, QQx2, JJx4 and didn't win the pot a single time...VERY nice.
Anyway, i know this is long and actually as i've been writting it, i've lost 30 bucks playing horse lol. But poker can be the most frusterating game in the world...i love it, but there is no sicker feeling then seeing some donkey who cannot play is way out of a paper bag walk away with like 1000 bucks plyaing 1/2 nl in AC...I know eventually he will lose it, but i don't care. If he isn't losing it to me, it really doesn't matter to me. I'm sick of hearing ppl say u want to see these donkeys winning becuz they will give it back...who gives a shit???? i know i don't, especially becuz i'm sitting at home pissed off, while this donkey is losing my money to some other donkey playing poker for the 3rd time in his life. I just read an ariticle (can't remember where) and something struck me as very intellegent..."if luck wasn't involved in poker, it would be chess"...maybe i should take up chess...

Feel the sweat
Currently in 1st in the fulltilt $3 rebuy with 44 left, 540 entries...$1100 for first...lets see some railbirds here! lol i'll post at the end and let u know
Well, came in 13th :( i truely am a donkey!! i actually should've busted in 35th....knowing a guy is weak is only half the battle, he still has to be able to fold his mediocore hand....lost a 340k pot, when 2nd place hand only 190k, when a guy called off his whole stack on 3rd pair on the river, i raised pre flop, and fired a bullet on every street, and put him all in on the river, and he called me down with 88 when the board was K106J3...i knew he was weak, so i figured put him all in, and he can't call....WRONG....WRONG...he just check call check call check call...then won a mosnter pot, i threw up when he turned over 88...fyi i had 44, after that hand, i had 1 BB lol...so i was looking at 1st in 44 left, to busting in 35...but i tripled up the next hand, and stayed aggressive, and hung on to finish 13th...i'm still very bitter about it, and along the way there were some GROSS beats, so the fact that i even made it this far is a miracle i think...oh well, so close to the blue lights, et so far...ok, playing some cash games now, this will probably be the last update of the night unless something insane happens

Big Night Tonight!
I'm expecting big things tonight!! I've got the night off, so i'll be playing a lot of tournamnets tonight and a big score would be nice....i'm not gonna get greedy though, i'm still flying high since the 2k win, but i really haven't done ANYTHING since then, so i figure now is as good a time as any to get back on the train!
Cash games have been going well...i really feel like the poker tracker is helping a lot!! Booked a nice $100 win lastnight on stars playing some .50-1. According to my poker tracker, i'm up about 150 bucks since i've gotten it....my favorite part is that i've lost like 45 bucks with the bullets hahaha....twice i have run into sets, one time we were all in, and he hit his two outer, the other time, the BB flopped a set of 3's, and played it VERY nicely betting right into me! I think i lost about the minimum the way he played it, so i'm not even mad about it, but taking down a f ing pot with AA would be nice!
So AC is booked, and we're good to go. I hate going on weekends though because i refuse to poney up 450 bucks for a hotel at one of the casinos when i could go on wednesday, and get the same room for 120. That being said, here was a what someone said about the place we will be staying this weekend in his review on expedia "I felt about as safe as a glazed donut in a free buffet line" HAHAHAHAHA this may be one of the funniest lines ever uttered!! Ya gotta love good ol Atlantic City!

AC baby!!
So, it looks like AC is a go this weekend!! Needless to say i'm loving life...lastime i went, i ended up stuck about 400, which i'm still very bitter about, but i figured i was due for a loss there, and hopefully i got it out of the way. I'm definately not playing at the Borgata either...i think i want to try the Trop again...i've played there twice, and liked it, but for some reason never went back after that 2nd time playing there.
Poker has been very up and down the past few days...bascially, my bankroll is the exact same as it was on friday, so i won't bore you with all the meaningless details. I did come in 21st in a omaha8 rebuy tourny though, it was a very strong finish seeing as there were about 400 ppl. and like 600 rebuys (i tripled up like the 4th hand, and never even had to re buy). I went all in on my lasthand with AQ24, and was called but some garbage like kq98 ( i was in a state of disbelief when he called and flipped that over), i missed the flop, and hit...gg murph.
Played in the $20 1 rebuy 1 add on yesterday, and was just crusing along very nicely until they moved me to a table with shaundeeb, and a few other VERY successful online players (i looked them up) and for the first time bascially ever, i felt outclassed at this table!! When they moved me, i was like in 17th, with 180 left, and 68 got paid, so i was loving life, but this table was NUTS!!! I swear its like my cards were face up!! You couldn't get a raise in without being reraised...it was just sick!! Then i picked up AQ, shaundeeb was to my right, of course, he riase like 2.8x bb, i re raised him a decent amount, and of course, he just instantly shoved on me...i was so pissed!! I knew he had like 7's or something shit like that, and to him, who was probably playing like 6 other big buy in tournies, this meant nothing...i decieded to muck, and live to fight another day...well that other day came when i was in the SB with QQ and about 9bb's, it got folded to me, so i push, and the bb slow rolls me with KK...gg murph! man i was f -ing mad!! I guess i wouldn't be that mad if i would've got a hand, and busted shaundeeb, but guys like that don't care...there is no point in coming overthe top of them unless your ready to call his re re raise all in...it was very frusterating because if they didn't move me to that table, i'm sure i would've cruised to the money...oh well
Ok, thats it for now...make sure you watch high stakes poker tonight...its the 500k buy in!

Poker Tracker
So, after well over a year of really wanting to buy poker tracker but never really feeling it was THAT beneficial, i finally bit the bullet and bought it...and i'm obsessed already lol. It's bascially the greatest thing ever invented!!! It really is hard to believe that it's even legal. Seeing as i just bought it today, i have barely touched the surface on what it is capable of, but i know i had the tightest player EVER sitting to my left, and i swear, i must've taken about 25 bucks in BB from him with rags. His stats said he defended his bb 5% of the time, and he only saw 8% of the flops...which bascially meant i could take his blind every single time!! So, that alone won me some money. However, i think i may have to cut back to 3 tables though because running 4 tables like a usually do, it just seems to hard to utilize the poker tracker AND play 4 games at once. Anyone with any type of knowledge on this, feedback would be greatly appreciated!
PCA update. I'm currently sitting with 2 step 4 tickets, and i think i'm gonna play them both tomorrow, and if all goes well, i can have at least 1 step 5! I can feel the Bahama's sun already!!
One bad beat story, and i'll wrap it up. So 3 times in the past 2 days, we've had all the money in, and i've been sucked out on GROSSLY...pokerstars is starting to whore me in cash games abit, but listen to this beautey! I pick up AA, make it 3 bucks in a .50-1 game, and get 3 callers. Flop comes J73 rainbow (perfect). It gets checked to me, i bet 11, next guy raises to 24, other 2 guys fold, and i re raise it 58...he sits there for a few seconds and pushed all in for 90...i'm a little learly of a set at this point, but its only 25 more, so i call...he flips over 88....yes 88!!!!!!!!!!!! So i'm loving life, until the turn comes...8...ARE YOU F ING SERIOUS!!!!!!!! River is a blank, and he takes $190 pot. I mean WTF was this guy doing...anyway, sorry for the bad beat story, but like i said, this is the 3rd 2 or 3 outer hit on me after i've been all in in the past 2 days....it's really getting old!! Thankfully in sng's today, i cracked AA twice in 9 hands LOL...once with KK, and the other time with KQ...both times i hit quads lol...so i can't complain too much, but i can a little.
