Back From Vegas...online poker sucks

So, i'm back from vegas. Sorry for the lack of updates this month, it's been a pretty busy month for me, and to be honest, i really haven't put many hands in. Not to mention the fact that its pretty much a breakeven month which just makes me ill. First day back from vegas, i win about $350 playing cash games....and proceed to lose $320 of it yesterday...F online poker!!!


I'll be posting the month review in the next couple days, but i'm seriously thinking about moving to heads up full time...i've been dabbling in HU for the past 4 months or so, and every month, i've made a few hundo, this month is no different. I've actually been watching a bunch of HU videos too, and i feel like i can crush HU. I still like full ring, and need to play it to accumulate my full tilt points, but i may try to get half my hands for December in playing HU, and half full ring.


On to the Vegas report. Im gonna keep it pretty brief, and maybe next post, i'll add a few more tidbits, but i'm lazy right now. 1st day grinded some 1-2nl at Planet Hollywood (i read their cash games were terrible there). After 5 hours of play, i ended up with a stack of $302...for a $2 profit ZOMG!!! WTF!! A very unexciting day, although i really felt like i played some solid poker! I lost $135 on one hand, and that was about the only big hand i played. Never really pciked up a big hand, and just won small pot after small pot. The one exciting hand. I pick up AJ spades and bump it to 12...sb calls (some crazy brother who just lost $300 about 4 hands ago). Flop comes Q88...he checks, i bet $18...he calls (at this point i'm putting him on probably nothing...possibly a small pair like 33 or soemthing). Turn is one of the few cards in the deck i'm actually betting...K of spades...now i've got the royal flush draw....brother checks, and i deciede to bet $50 (K was a great card for me to represent since most donkeys put the pre flop raiser on AK). The brother thinks for a while and calls (WTF!!! i still feel he has the small pocket pair right now, thats why he's playing it so passive). River brings the Q of hearts for a final board of QQ88K...now the brother sits there for a minute and donks $50 into me...now at first this looks like a clear fold, but the more i thought about it, the more it looked like he really did have 22-77 and now he just got counterfieted, and if he checked, there was no way he was gonna win the pot, since he was playing the board....so after a few minutes, i deicede to call $50 with Ace high...and he turns over 33 ( LOL i wish), prick turns over KQ for the boat, NH sir! OOPS!!! Other then that...not much happened the 1st day.


Friday we go grind at MGM and grind for like 6 hours. Ended up like $325. 2 big hands were played, so i'll go over those, then i'll end this post since its getting to be a bit long. So its about my 7th hand at the table, and i pick up 86 soooooooted...since live poker is a joke, i deciede to limp utg+1 since utg limped as well....we see the flop 6 handed...it comes 10-8-6 (money!!!), bb checks, and utg bets $35...LOL WTF!!!! 35 into a 12 pot...so i'm very confused at this point, so i just smooth call, everyone else folds, turn is a 2...this guy pushes all in for $400 LOL....i was literally floored!!! I have to have this guy beat right??????? I don't know about to you guys, but to me, it looked like this donkey limped UTG with AA or KK hoping to limp re raise, and he ended up getting stuck in a 6 way pot, and was gonna win it no matter what....so i sat there for longer then i ever have at a poker table trying to get something out of this guy...i tell him i have 2 pair, i i'd bet the house he has AA or KK...eventually, i just muck, since i just sat down, and who knows, this guy could have anything since i don't know anything about him...i muck face up...the other 7 donkeys at the table proceed to start ripping me saying how the F can you fold there...and this UTG donkey deciedes to show us 10-8, for a higher 2 pair....he then says he didn't want anyone to suck out, thats why he went all in LOL wow buddy, you just saved me my stack...ty very much!! Anyway, i thought it was a pretty good laydown, even though i really still thought he misplayed AA.


Ok, thats enough for now, i'll post the other big hand from MGM next time....putting in $150 with no pair is VERY +ev IMO lol. Off to the tables

I think i felted a squirel today

So, i'm about 99% sure i felted a squirel today driving...pretty sure it's the 1st squirel i've ever hit when driving, so RIP little man. In other news, i'm off to VEGAS BABY tomorrow!!!!!!!! It's gonna be pretty epic! The wife is coming so it won't be a 100% grinding trip, which is good, but i'll still be able to get in a few hours each day i think...who knows, maybe i'll mix in a donkament too. We're staying at Cesars Palace, so needless to say, its gonna be pretty solid! I'm hoping to have at least 1 celeb run in whole we're out there...preferably a poker player, but i'll settle for my boy michael phelps, eventhough i've already played poker with him b4 (if you're reading this Mike...keep mucking those Kings preflop LOL).


Anyway, gotta run, gotta watch the end of real chance of love, then have to pack and get some sleep becuz for some reason, i don't think i'll be getting much sleep in vegas (just a hunch). I should have a pretty epic trip report when i come home!

Some Picks

Sorry i've been slacking pretty hard this month, but i'm pretty down )emotionally) on poker in November. I'm actually up a little bit, but it's been pretty frusterating. I'm going to Vegas in 3 days, so i'm pretty jacked about that!! I'll try to post b4 i go with a real poker post. Today i've got the Bears +3.5 (lock of the week), Tenn -3, NYG -7 and a 3 game parlay...Pitt -5.5, Den/ATL under 51 and CIN/PHI over 41.5.

October Review

Ended up being just shy of a 3k month! It's nice to book a decent winning month after a couple of blah months. I'll start with pokerstars. After discovering those double or nothing sngs, i just killed them! I really need to concentrate on playing more of these in november (its hard becuz they really aren't that fun, and its not good for my poker game, but its easy money). Ended up making like $1625 in October on stars pretty much all from sngs.

As for fulltilt, as you can see, my graph is an F ing joke, but at the end of the month, i ended up banking $1275 on fulltilt (half from playing, half from rakeback....about $550 worth). The sad thing I won $250 of the $600 playing heads up cash. I think i'm really going to start mixing in quite a bit of HU in november seeing as i can't win playing fullring anymore.

I've been contemplating mixing in 1 or 2 200nl tables. Not sure if i'm actually gonna do it, but if i see a known fish playing 1/2, i'll def sit in the game. We'll see how that goes..i really don't have much experiance playing 200nl, but i'm confident i can maintain my 100nl winrate there.

Ok, lame post i know, but the football games are starting, so gotta go
