ZOMG

So, i'm not exactly in the mood for a review seeing as i just had the sickest session since i've been playing online poker. So, that being said...August was a decent month, ended up approx. $1500 for the month...enough said. I barely played, and i probably donked off at least 100 playing razz and omha8 ( i literally had the nuts on the turn about 6 times, and never even halfed the pot on the river...just sick!!!). Bottom line...August was ok, but i need to log more hands.

On to Sept. I'm on a nice 8 buy in downswing to start the month...good times. I have a WAY too many gross beats to talk about, so i'll only talk about few. 3 limpers to me on the button, i have AA...i make it $5.5...folded to the utg limper, who limp re raises to 15 (i'm fist pumping at this point)...i deciede not to slow play it, so i make it $44...he calls...but only has like $25 left....flop comes 973 with all clubs ( i have no club, but i'm not hating life)...donkey bets $8 into the $95 pot...so i just put him all in for his last $17...he goes into the tank....lol...at this point, i feel like he's slow rolling the nuts on me, but oh well...he times down and calls...showing 52 offsuit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! FIVE FUCKING TWO OFFSUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yeah, he has the 2 of clubs...guess what falls on the river..yes, a club...52 offsuit good sir...take it down...then of course, he insta leaves. One last beat...guy makes it $3.5...i have QQ on the button and bump it to $11 (yes, i should've made it more, but i was isolating this donkey, so i wanted to keep him around)...guy in BB smooth calls...so does the utg...flop comes 872...BB bets $15...utg calls...i make it $45...BB pushes and the other guy gets out of the way...the donkey in the bb was a 58/10/4...so i snap call him...he turns over 72 offsuit for 2 pair...he fills up on the river, and stacks me...well played sir.

This was just the tip of the iceberg this month. I've never seen anything like it. These were probably the worst 2, but i could give you another 10 or 15 betas very similar...having the STONE COLD NUTS on the turn...gettting all $300 in the pot only for the board to pair on the river, etc etc etc. I'm just sick about poker right now. I really hope its nice this week so i can play some golf because me and poker are not getting along at all.

Lastly, i'm actually going out looking for a real job tomorrow anyway, so hopefully soon i can put poker back to where it belongs...extra money...not bill money....gg life!

August review...sike hahaha

Not in the mood to do my August review...i think i had my biggest losing day ever in a late night sessions lastnight so F poker...KK vs AA twice...and the one time the flop came AK7, the other time it was blind vs blind all in pre flop...good times...thankfully i won a couple hunge today so i back on track here for Sept. I'll post it tomorrow i think. Although, looking at the month end graph, i really didn't run as gross as i thought i did.

Labor day weekend was fun...too much drinking and WAY too much spent on food... but it's all good.

Maybe i should try rockclimbing...

Went away for the weekend and found out i was a sick rockclimber lol. Actually, i had never done it b4 in my life, and they had this rock climbing wall maybe like 40 feet high and for $5 they gave you 2 climbs...i made it to the top both times. I must say, it was WAY harder then i thought it would be, and the wall tried to put a bad beat on me by having the last "stud thingy for your hands and feet" too small for my foot to stand on, but i pulled it off baby...my g/f...not so fortunate...good try though (again thankfully she won't be reading this)...

Anyway, month is coming to a close, and i have played an embarassing # of hands...only 19,000!!! This is gross!!! I've had a very busy month, and my g/f had a lot of it off too, but there is no excuse for only putting in 19k hands when i don't even work!!!! Oh well, maybe i can get that to 25k by the end of the month, but i doubt it, becuz once again, i'm going away this weekend (3 out of 4 weekends going away kills my poker playing!!). It's been a pretty blah month too...but, considering i haven't played too much, i can't be too upset. I'm looking for a nice surge to end the month...here's to hoping...

The ultimate bad beat

So, even the weather man decieded to team up with fulltilt and slap a bad beat on me. While i was gone for 9 days, i'm pretty sure not a single drop of rain fell because my lawn couldn't be more brown if someone actually spray painted it. I've been here for 2.5 months, and it hasn't gone more then 48 hours without rain, so the lawn looked fine with the occassional watering...i leave for 9 days...no rain..sweet, we now have the worst lawn in the neighborhood...it's my goal to get it looking decent again...i'll keep you updated

I hate poker

So after nearly 10 days, i log on to play some poker after a nice vacation and what happens???? I get set over seted within the first 15 minutes for $100. About 2 hours later i get set over seted again for $100, followed shortly by losing another $100 when my KJ of hearts lost with the 2nd nut flush when some moron had the A high flush and the coup de gras when i raised with AK...got re raised and just called...flop comes AKJ...sweet right...so i check to him...he pushes his stack in (like $70 into a $21 pot) i snap call...he turns over A10...Q in the river...nice hand sir....$400 down the drain...%$*& me

Vacation time

So, as you can see, i couldn't have timed my vacation any better. Going back to the homeland for a week friday, so that pretty much means no online poker for the next week. I'm sure i'll squeeze in some live poker at the local casino, so i'll have to prepare myself for the fold-fest that is live poker.

Had a pretty sick day at the tables today. It actually couid've been even sicker if, for the 2nd time this week, i didn't lose the nut full house to f-ing quads...i mean seriously twice in a week????? It's getting old!! The way this one went down to was pretty gross...i won't go into detail, but i literally probably should've folded on the flop, but proceeded to hit perfect-perfect on the turn and river giving me the full house...so if i would've won or even chopped that hand, it could've been close to a $700 day!! Finally got paid on my big hands today which was nice, and i made a few really sick bluffs to take down some nice pots (running good makes you feel invincible and bascially allowed me to have the stones to pull off these sick bluffs).

Anyway, thats it for now...for peace of mind alone, its nice to be taking a week away from "work" ending on a good note like today...i'll try to update from home if i do make it the casino...until then

Golf blog????

So i went golfing today and slapped about the strangest 79 on the U of I blue course i've ever seen. Zero birdies, 2 double bogeys, 2 fairways and only 5 greens in regulation. I hadn't been golfing in almost 2 weeks, which is easily the longest stretch ive gone this summer. My ball striking could not have been worse. Literally 90% of the shots i hit today started like 30 degrees to the right, and just stayed right there, it was the most frusterating thing of all time. Pretty much from the first ball i hit on the range today, to my last shot on 18, 90% of the shots went right, and i couldn't fix it. I usually pride myself on being able to adapt to a problem mid round, and fix it later, but today i couldn't figure it out...so annoying. My short game was SOLID today, hence the 79 instead if 85 or so....i must've had about 5 or 6 putts inside of 3 feet due to some very nice work around the greens. Anyway, i hadn't broken 80 in a few weeks, so it feels good to shot a 79, especially seeing as i hit 2 fairways and 5 greens. The most annoying part...on 3 ofthe par 5's i had irons in...and never made a F ing birdie...oh well

This hand pretty much sums up how i run in poker. .50-1.00 guy in middle postion makes in $3...im in BB with QQ, so i make it $13.50....he calls..flop comes Q66 (GIN BABY!!!)..i check it...he checks back...turn is a 7..i bet $20...he min riases to $40 (LOL ty sir), i just smooth call...river is a 4...i bet out like $35 of my last $50 (starnge way to play the hand i know, but i felt like pushing wasn't gonna get a call, so i bet almost all of it)..he pushes..i call with the nuts....WAIT....never mind Murph...he turns over 66 for the TRUE nuts and takes my $120 bucks with quads...very nice hand sir...do you work for fulltilt????? What is it like for someone to flop the stone cold nut fullhouse when your holding quads????? Good times good times...

Oh well...August is going decent i guess poker wise...FYI my SICK tv came and we set it up in tuesday, so maybe i'll take a picture and post it...you don't know how good it is to go from a 24 inch box old school tv, to a 50 inch SILLY plasma...poker has been berry berry good to me
