Gotta love aggressive marketing campaigns

I had $11 on pokerstars for the upcoming BPT event. I am waiting on a cashout from the prima site I was playing on, so thought I might play a little nickle dime NL. I ended up losing $4 after getting up alittle bit. I decided to take a shot at a $5 NLHE STT. It became apparent early that I had the most skills at the table (and thats not saying much).

Anyway I ran over the first table, and when it was down to 3 handed one of my opponents ended up getting lucky in a hand I had AJ, and he had A6, he ended up catching the straight on the river. After we knocked out the other played I had him down to 2k, and I had 11k. Somehow he managed to squeekout 2 double ups and was back in it. We went back and forth and I eventually took 2nd. O well I had enough change to live and fight another day on stars.

I watch a movie with my wife. The 40yr old virgin. I thought it was ok, the main character is on The Office, and I enjoy watching that show. So after the movie, I decided to see if there were any low buyin MTT's starting. The soonest one started was 40 mins. I didnt want to wait that long so I sat in another $5 STT.

Something happened early that kinda pissed me off. This idiot was deal AA on the button. the flop was coordinated with a straight and a flush. he ended up losing all but 500 of his chips. and he chimes in "GJ retard, catch aids". What a fucking moron. He managed to pick up some chips and was back in it. And then he lost another hand and told a different guy basically the same thing. I told him he shouldnt be so eager to embarass himself. Then the whole table started ripping this guy. And honestly he deserved it. I suppose he hasnt played much poker. I take solice in the fact that he busted out about 6th. And I busted him with a bad beat if you will. I had a big chip stack and wanted to take a shot at pitting him out, here is how the hand went down.

Usually I dont participate in shit talking, but this guy deserved it. Anyway, the play in the second STT was insane. A 3 way allin and one guy flips over A3o.

I ended up taking this one down, I was unreleantless on the weak players. I had the image of a maniac and was still playing a reserved game. I didnt get involved in the big pots unless I had the nuts. It was refreshing to take down a win. Even at a low level. I might take a few more shots at these over the weekend.

Anyway I now have $33 in my stars acct, $11 in my neteller, and a pending withdraw of $133. The $11 comes from VIP (b/c they suck!) I dont think I will be playing the BPT (unless I cash this week). I just need to realign my priorities. With my limited br, I need to focus on the games that I can beat AND are within my bankroll. I think its ok for me to take shots at $10 STT/MTT's but the BPT field is pretty tough. There is a mix of good players and donks, and its hard to adjust when at the table with both. There is the chance that I will come thru with something this week, but otherwise I am going to hold back from playing for at least a couple weeks.

So my bankroll is about $175. Its enough to work with. I have a small bonus I am going to go whore at titan that is also going to put a little $ back in my BR. Well thats all I have for now.

If you are looking for something to pass the time, check out the online casino below. I signed up and did the $200 free today. Its legit, no deposit required. I played paigow, 3 card poker, video poker and blackjack. Its alright, but I am just a fan of the Player vs Player poker rather than the Player vs. House Games, but hell if you can shake out some extra $ to throw into your poker bankroll, WHY NOT?
