I just noticed the craziest trend

2007-01-09T02:09:00.000-05:00

when looking over the last week I noticed an odd stat.

I have played 14 turbo stt's. Of the 14 I have 5 wins, 0 seconds, 0 3rds, and 9 losses. I guess I have a good end game or ran g00t...... of those I definetly started short in 3 of my wins. o well i hope i can keep it up.

I did manage to end week 1 with a 11.5 profit + rakeback. so i am not to pissed at myself for blowing my profit the last 2 days.

not much pokah today

2007-01-08T20:31:00.000-05:00

final preparations are in order for my trip. I played jsut a little bit todat in between working a "split shift". my ouctome wasnt good, but no need to focus on that detail at this moment, besides we all know online black jack is rigged, and it was rigged to the tune of $20 for me....

I pulled an all nighter last night, waking up at noon on sunday, and staying up until 11 am today (monday). I left work and went home and slept for 3 hours, before waking up so that my wife could make a drs appt. I then proceeded to return to work tonight about 5:30 pm. The whole goal of this exercise is to get onto, or close, to aussie time. I think the only thing I have succeeded at is screwing up my sleep pattern completely. I am nearly exhausted, and feeling some mental handicap. Good times are ahead!

Today I recieved my passport, WOOHOO! I am now free to leave the country, and be accepted in foriegn lands. This will be the farthest I have ever travelled. In fact when I get off the plane in LAX, it will be the farthest I have travelled. In the past my journeys have only taken me as far west as Las vegas, and east (south east) to Daytona Beach. I am definelty looking forwardto the experience, even with the bit of apprehension involved with flying.

I picked up some more necessaties today, and with the exception of 3-4 things I am read to go. I still havent packed my bags, but hope to get that done tommorrow. I am also going to focus on getting some quality time in with the kids tommorrow before I leave.

using up all of my bad luck

2007-01-08T00:34:00.000-05:00

blah,,, thats how todays play went.... unbelivable

I dropped ~5 buyins at 25nl

here is a great example... well i was going to post a handhistory, but ub and their retard ass shit prevented my pahud from grabbing it. The hand went like this. 6 max, i am on button with QQ, limp utg, raise under gun+1 to 2xbb. fold, i raise to $2. sb completes for $2, everyone else folds. flop 2x5x9y. checks, i bet pot he calls. now this guy is on a short stack of about $4, the pot has about $7-$9, turn is a rag, I bet out $4, he calls, river is nothing special. he shows 25o and takes the pot!

ugly day overall. BR is down to $542.25

additionally, I have been trying to get my computers set up so that I ca do video conferencing with my wife and kids while away. I have had nothing but problems getting it set up. In fact one of my laptops is just about killed, and might possibly catch a boot soon. its drving me out of my mind!!!

who woulda thunk...

2007-01-07T00:22:00.000-05:00

that a free trip would cost so much :-p

Today I ran out and got some things that I will need for my trip, and other miscellaneous no trip related things. I took my wife out to a dinner, and let the kids visit with grandma and grandpa. It was a pretty relaxed day overall.

I wasnt home much at all today, but did manage to get in just a little time at the nl tables. basically while I was drinking my morning coffee and about 20 mins this evening.

Since I am adjusting my sleep schedule, I slept until just after noon today. It really doesnt seem right. I am genereally a person that gets up at 5-6 am during the week, and 7 on the weekends. Considering I was up until 6 last night, that wouldnt have been possible.

I am definetly feeling anxious about my trip now. Its coming up real soon, and it seems like I am not at all ready. I will be pretty busy leading up to my departure, and need to fit some time in to get things together. Fortunately I have a great wife, whom I suspect will help me get my things together and pack. I was talking to my wife today, and this will be the longest that we have been apart since we met, and by far the longest tiem I have been away from the kids. I have sent my oldest daughter to visit relatives, and to camp, but that was only about 5 day. I'm going to miss seeing all of them while I am gone.

I have a ton of things to get done for work too, so I think my poker time is going to be nearly non existint. In fact I will probably be workign on work things tonight until about 6 or 7 am. Its a good thing I have a solid stash of redbull at my disposal.

My stepdad loaned me his digital SLR, with a couple of lenses. I'm excited about having a nice camera with me while on my trip. Hopefully I will be able to capture some good shots to remember my trip.

As far as my poker recap for the day goes. I got in 527 hands(according to my poker grapher, sometimes this hasnt been accurate)and profitted $84.97 on the day. I think these #'s include my post midnight play since 12:01am saturday, so they are somewhat innaccurate representation. I definetly hit a profit though, and my bankroll is now at $659.95. So I will book today as a win. Sunday will be the end of my first week, and I hope to continue my upward momentum.

laughter always makes you feel better

2007-01-06T03:05:00.000-05:00

btw i was able to recover the losses mentioned below from a tilt box playing HU :-) i am now just stuck ~$10. but this video makes me feel better anyway

ewww stinky

2007-01-06T01:10:00.000-05:00

I had a bad run tonight in a MTT and a couple of STT's. Hitting blanks like it was my job. I ended up getting down a good amount, but managed to pull some profit back in my cash game. I did finish at about (-$40).

I'll contribute my losses to 2 things,

1) I played a $33 MTT, above my bankroll requirements but decided that since I am ahead of my weekly goal I would take a shot. I am going to allocate 30% of any weekly overage to taking a shot. and withdraw 30%, and leave the remaining 30% in my bankroll. As part of this tangent I will note that my bankroll is at $600 currently. I am still undecided about adding another lump of cash. I'm considering it, maybe adding enough to bring me to 1k.

2) The STT's I played in were 10 man turbos, these tournaments have high variance. Combined with optimal strategy of pushing with a short stack. I found myself on the wrong side of suckouts. No worries though, I was happy with my play and only have one hand that I would have played differently. The hand didn't bust me out, but caused me to lose my chip lead in one of the STT's.

Since I am down, I decided to take a break and do some other things around the house, maybe get some brownie points with the wife. I will probably hit the tables again in a little bit since I will likely be up for another 7 hours.... I think I am going to go to the gym about 5am since I will be up. Right now I'm jamming on some redbulls/monster.

My passport has been processed finally! Its in the mail, and should arrive on monday via fedex. I was also able to get my Australian Visa processed, and now its only a matter of time. Although I have not even began thinking about what to pack. I am going to go shopping tomorrow and pick up a couple of things, and ask my wife to iron some things for me :-)

Lots of drama going on in my family (not my wife/kids, rather my brothers and step brothers). Here is an interesting tidbit. I am the oldest of 5 brothers, I also have 1 half sister, 2 step sisters (1 deceased), and 4 step brothers. So of the twelve of us there are bound to be some dysfunction. I would say that we are at about 85% for dysfunction! It seems like crazy shit happens once a week. Too much drama to go into right now, but definitely stuff that is on my mind.

O boy staying up late!

2007-01-05T04:14:00.000-05:00

I just finished busting out of a 6max MTT. rather small field of ~130ppl. top 12 paid. I went out 10th which is dissapointing b/c I had the chip lead for a while, but teh blind/antes were getting high to the point whoever picked up the blinds & antes became the chip leader. Even more dissapointing is the fact that 10-12th payed the same, and there was a 50% increase at 9th. the 9th place player busted out less than 3 seconds after me on the opposite table.

All together I played 4 MTT's tonight. I ended up getting KK vs AA in the second hour of one, and busting out. I honestly dont recall how I busted out of the other 2 at this point. I am kind of exhausted. I only slept 4 hours last night, and have been up for 20 hours now.

Over all I did finish in the black tonight adding about $17 to my bankroll. However all of this profit came from my cash game, and I had an $8.75 loss in my MTT buyins. I am pretty pleased with my results over the last few days. I have increased my bankroll by $138.37 Since January 1st (which is 27.7%). I guess I had better set out my cashout plan soon. :-) thats a good problem to have though.

It was fun though, and I have no complaints :-)

I also ran out and grabbed Eric Lindgren's Final Table book under actypers advice. I flipped through the first chapter and a couple other sections. It looks like there is a lot of fluff in it, but for the price I cant complain. I picked it up for $10, and if I pick up one thing out of it I am sure it will pay for itself 100x's over.

I am a debating infusing a little more cash into my bankroll, but am undecided. I have a little poker cash socked aside. I have been debating using it to buy a new laptop, adding it to my bankroll and hopefully using that to increase my poker earnings, or using it to buy my wife something she wants.

Well I am not thinking to clearly b/c of being so tired. I am going to sit back and watch a couple of videos and go to bed in about an hour or so. My wife isnt exactly happy with me switching my schedule around, but I tried to explain to her that it is about the easiest way to adjust to the time zone change. I am going to get up in the morning about 10 or so and go hit the gym before going into the office. I have some projects at work that need to be done, so will probably work on those over the weekend during the early morning hours.

Gearing up for Australia

2007-01-04T00:59:00.000-05:00

I am working on conditioning myself for my trip. Since I am on EST, and Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of us I need to work on adjusting my body. Since I have ~6 days I am starting now. I am going to try and stay up a couple hours later each night, and sleep in accordingly. The plan is to be as close to Melbourne time as possible when I arrive, otherwise it will be like starting a 14 hour poker session at 8pm.

My job is kind of flexible, so it will work out, I will just be working later into the evening.

Since I am going to be up later, I am also going to take advantage of the alone time. I have started re watching some of the pokerxfactor video's. I havent played a ton of tournaments lately and there is definitely valuable info on some of those videos.

I've picked up a couple of books with my stars FPP's. I grabbed Ace on the river, Sklansky's No Limit Theory and practice, and Tournament poker for advanced player. I figured they would help pass the time during the ridiculously long flight. Early in my online poker days I read tons of poker books. but noticed the redundancy of play tight rhetoric. I think books can be useful to a beginning player, but that everyone needs to develop their own game, and nothing is better than experience. I will probably read more of the AOTR than either of the other books, just b/c I hear its not a theory type book.

I am also planning on ripping some of my favorite CD's and loading them onto my IPOD/mp3 player. I have a couple of mp3 players, and most of my music is stuff that I have encoded off of sirius. So thats a solid task to get done in the next few days.

Did I mention I dont have a passport or visa? I sent of an expedited application on friday to an agent. I ended up having to pay about an extra $300 b/c of the rush. New years day holiday and the federal observance day for president ford really cost me :-( It appears I will get my passport back on mon/tuesday, and I depart on wednesday. I need a passport # in order to apply for my visa/ETA which could take a couple of days if my name is similar to a person of interest. Fortunately (I am hopeful) my name is kinda unique and shouldnt match with anyone else. Although in high school I had a kid in my school whose first name was Jeremy and our last names were the same except for the first letter. So I just hope he isnt a person of interest :-p

I put in about 200 hands of NL tonight, and played 2 STT's. I didnt fare well in the STT's. Busting out early in both. In the second I had QQ, and ran into AA on a rag flop. The thing that killed me was that this guy limped utg with his AA, I was in bb and raised pf. he flat called. I bet pot on flop, he called. I bet 1/2 pot on turn (another rag) and he raised. I put him on top pair or a pp higher than the board and pushed on him. He showed me his AA, which coincidentally was the same hand he had the hand b4. Back 2 back A's and he was in good shape.

I did do well in the NL game though and won back my buyins plus an additional $20. So I am in good shape for my weekly target.

I havent had a chance to finish my draft posts, but will probably do it while staying up late these up coming days. I'm definitely getting excited, and anticipating all the fun I hope to have in Melbourne.

My progress will be blogged online, and I will provide a link here, and maybe recap my thoughts on my blog. I have decided to only share the blog link with any of my friends outside of blog world, and with my wife and parents. I dont want the attention, and if I do win a big prize I am a little apprehensive about how my friends might feel about it. I am more inclined to keep it private and feel out everything when I get home.

On a related note, I didnt want everyone at my office to find out why I was going on "vacation", but word has spread. I work for a small company <30ppl and told just 4 ppl. Friends of mine that I have played home games with, and a guy who works for me. Somehow the word spread and i think everyone (or close to everyone) knows. Its not that I'm not excited or "proud" of my accomplishment, I would just prefer to be a little more private, and rather everyone didnt know about my poker hobby. Obviously some ppl just consider poker gambling, and look at gamblers as degenerates. I dont want people I work with forming a negative opinion about my lifestyle. I dont feel like educating them, nor defending myself either.

I live in the "bible belt", and there are definitely extremely conservative ppl in my company. I like everyone I work with, and have a good relationship with all of them. So I would really like to keep it that way. This blog is my way of "discussing" and recording my thoughts on poker and life and that helps me to develop personally without having to share my life with my coworkers.

I only have 4 friends who I discuss poker with, 3 of which are players, 1 who is intrigued by the game and is trying to learn. Other than that I dont discuss poker with any of my friends b/c I dont want to look like I am bragging, or explain my swings to them.

Well that turned into an extended babble, I'm sure it is lacking direction, and a worthless read. Its real simple though, if you dont like it GTFO! Did I mention I got some xanax from my dr? I have never taken xanax, and plan on test driving them this weekend. I go them basically b/c I am a little apprehensive about my flight, and to help me sleep on the trip. I have an issue with flying. Its not too bad, but its more of a lack of control anxiety. The same thing happens sometimes when I ride in a car with bad drivers. If I am not in control of the situation I get nervous. I have never been able to sleep on flights or during long drives so hopefully they help. hell they might even help b4 the mainevent starts :-p

well thats all i have for now. I am going to hit up another pxf video and go to bed in about an hour or 2.

good luck at the tables, and thanks for wasting your time reading my blog!

starting the year off well

2007-01-01T22:39:00.000-05:00

I didnt get muc hplay in today, about 150 hands of NL, and 5 $10+1 stt's. I finished up in the NL games by $3.20, and took 3 firsts in my stt's, one 4th, and 1 7th. I'm trying to figure out how to set up a spreadsheet to track cashgames, bankroll, and sitngo's/tournaments as well as the different sites.

At the end of the day I am up $120. I know its about as small of a sample size as I can get, but its a profit.

I also got some good news from the guys at poker.com today. I'm not going to elaborate as I think it should remain confidential, but I will say that once again those guys show that they are at the top of the pack when it comes to customer service.

I played the 20k Guarantee on poker.com yesterday. Big overlay ($8,450.00), I think once my bankroll is sufficent I will play it regularly. I didnt fare well, got my chips in with the best hand, but couldnt hold up. I was playing extremely aggro, basically b/c we had dinner plans with some friends and I didnt want to keep them waiting. I hope to have my schedule cleared the next time I play. I might even play it the sunday (monday) i am in Australia since I would be able to focus without distractions. I would likely pay for it out of my Oz mad $, rather than my bankroll.

My wife is fine after the accident. She is sore, and will probably feel even worse tommorrow. Apparently the accident was pretty bad though. Some kid (probably 23) ran through a red light, struck a young girl (about 16) and then he had a trajectory that had him going toward my wife. He turned his wheel and instead of hitting my wife head on caught the front passenger side of our Chrysler Town and Country. He then continued and landed about a foot from a large utility pole. If he hadnt of hit my wife he would have been in a lot worse shape, b/c she basically changed his direction and was the reason he didnt hit he pole.

Our vehicle suffered enough damage that it isnt drivable, but the impact was not severe enough to deploy the air bags. The car the kid was driving was totalled, and actually belonged to his mother. Apparently this is the second vehicle he totalled within a 24 hour period. The girl driving the other car sustained some lacerations to her head, but was otherwise ok from what my wife could gather. Her car was also totalled. Not the best way to start the new year.

Fortunatly we have excellent vehicle insurance, and shouldnt have any problems getting the van fixed in a timely manner. Its still an inconcience that we could have done without.

Happy New Year

2007-01-01T14:34:00.000-05:00

With the start of the new year, I am going to begin my personal challenge. I guess I should finish up my draft post (hopefully this will take place by tomorrow) and finish outlining my goals.

We are having friends over tonight, so I don't think I will get it done before then.

Originally I had thought about starting with $100, then I said to hell with it, and cashed out everything, except $10 I had on Absolute. I have played on this the last few days, grinding it up to $25. but I was playing $0.02/$0.04 limit, but it hasn't been the most rewarding experience. I cashed everything out before I won my Aussie Millions trip, so that kind of changed things.

I was looking forward to playing some live poker at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, but upon further investigation I realized that they have a ridiculous rake. They charge 10% + an hourly rate. I'm not sure I am up to going that route now. I might mix it up a little, but not likely a ton. Besides I will be playing 14 hours a day while in the tournament, which is going to be exhausting since I am not really used to it.

So If I play while in Oz the majority of it will likely be online.

I have decided to use an initial bankroll of $500, and shoot for a weekly goal of +7%. At the end of the year I would have about a 20k bankroll. I am going to vow to always play inside my bankroll. And my initial limits will be $11 STT's, $3 MTT's, $0.50/$1 Limit, and $0.05/$0.1 No Limit.

I'm pretty certain I can achieve a 7% rate of growth, especially at the lower limits. I am going to come up with a positive withdraw plan too. I definitely plan on taking some of my profit, I am just not sure of the frequency at this point.

That's all I have to add right now, I just got a call from my wife and she was involved in a car accident. She is fine, but our vehicle didn't fare so well. I have to attend to this situation now.

Gl at the tables!

The holidays have been killing me

2006-12-29T19:00:00.000-05:00

Combined with the stress of trying to secure travel arrangements and passport/visa. I havent had much free time to finish off my draft entries.

I full intend to get them up ASAP, and start my new challenge for 2007.

Its amazing what can be accomplished with good bankroll management. See this article for a little inspiration.

Happy New Year everyone!

OZ on my mind

2006-12-24T08:21:00.000-05:00

hopefully later today i will have time to finish up some posts. In the meantime I will be doing things with the family

OMG!!!

2006-12-23T17:49:00.000-05:00

I dont have any words to explain how I feel so I will just post this for now!

Blogger Poker Tour Finale

2006-12-23T14:32:00.000-05:00

Today is the day, I am excited about my oppurtunity.

I am going to play my A game and exploit every edge that I have. Good luck to everyone competing, but in the end there will be only 1 winner and 19 losers. I am going to do my best to be in the minority today.

I will also be playing the Stars VIP Freerolls, and taking a shot at boosting my bankroll.

I have started writing the sercond part of my personal challenge, and plan to get that up later tonight as well.

I also plan to edit part of the first entry, I was dead tired when I wrote it, and noticed several gramatical mistakes I had made.

Personal Challenge

2006-12-20T23:47:00.000-05:00

well I have decided to try a personal challenge.

To preface
this, I have ran kinda bad lately. I am also unhappy with my lack of
bankroll management and trying to chase my losses at a higher limit,
tilt or whatever.It's all pretty shitty in fact. I am having difficulty in committing myself to a proper bankroll management criteria.

Last week I read an article on the Kelly criterion, and general bankroll management.
There was also a discussion of compounding profits and bankroll
building. I decided to set up an excel spreadsheet and test out
different formulas and examining the effects of compounding profit.

It really fascinating
to examine the trend when earning a consistent return. However, the
return on poker is not consistent and can have a wide range in results.
When moving up in limits the competition becomes harder, and there may
be some related loss in adjusting to the level of play.

I want to try and follow a strict bankroll management regimen. Setting goals, and following guidelines that properly dictate the buy in level I will be playing.

Bankroll
Since I have been running bad lately I have decided to withdraw all but $100 of my bankroll. This will be my starting bankroll for the challenge.

Goal PBI
I dont want to dont want to be overly optimistic in my achievable Percentage of Bankroll Increase (PBI) .. I think that a 7% weekly PBI is possible. I am going to use this as my weekly goal.

I know I will have some weeks that are over 7% and likely weeks that are -%. Any week where my PBI% IS >12% I am going to withdraw 75% of the overage and use it on nonpoker related expenses or for savings. If my PBI is >4% for the week I will not take any withdraw the following week.

Games/Levels
I know I will kill some limits or games, but may suffer on others. Since I want this challenge r to be fun to do, I am not going to limit myself to one particular game format. I dont want this to feel like a grind.

I set up a spreadsheet that will divide my bankroll by my minimum buyins for a game. I will allow myself a 5% variation of this calculated amount. For instance if I have a 100 bankroll and am going to play a STT, my min br requirement is 50 I would be constrained to $2 sng's, but will allow a 5% deviation up to $2.10 (not that these exist).

I plan to follow the following min br requirements which are on the conservative side. Therby reducing the impact of variance and my general peace of mind in playing at a specific level.

STT-50 buyins
MTT-150 buyins (rebuys 500x buyin)
NL-30x max buyin
PL-25x max buyin
FL-400bb
H/L FL- 300bb

Stop Loss - Anti-TILT
I have been known to steam off, and am going to try to control that with a stop loss. When I hit my stop loss I am going to take no less than 30 mins off from playing, if I hit my stop loss twice in a 24hr period I wont play again until I have slept.

My stop losses are:
STT- 4 buyins
MTT- 12 buyins
NL PL- 3 buyins
FL - 30 blinds

So that is the initial layout for my challenge. I will fill in some more info in the next couple of days. I am trying to determine how much time I cna afford to have as a minimum weekly play.

At this point I am not going to play anymore until I actually commence my challenge maybe sometime this weekend, or at least by next weekend. I picked up a couple of books from the Stars FPP store and am going to read them over the next couple of days. I think I need to take a break anyway b/c of my bad run/tilt sessions. I also have a lot of things going on with the holidays.

I still plan on playing all of the Freerolls I am qualified for including the BPT final, Stars VIP freerolls, and a couple other leagues I play in.

I guess all of this also means that I will keep this blog running next year, and probably have updates about 2-3 times a week.

feeling pretty excited about the tournaent this weekend

2006-12-18T19:23:00.000-05:00

I'm really looking forward to the Aussie satelitte tourney.

I found out it is going to be a deep stack MTT, which makes for more skill and less luck. I would love to see extended levels too like 30 mins, but I am not holding my breath.

Crazy happenings on the interweb these days with a couple circuit players. I might as well help spread the gossip

apparently Brandi Hawbaker, of fiesta lago fame

doesnt like old man penis on her back

The next night, he [tom franklin] crawled into bed with me naked. His penis on my back, frighten me, and woke me in the middle of the night. I freaked out and spent the rest of the night in the bathroom. I crawled to sleep on the floor and used the towels as blankets. I was traumatized.

but she will take it in the ass for a satelite buyin

also, a sidenote for you gossip fiends while im at it, in the car ride back to vegas, brandi told me that she got her ex to put her in a satellite on the condition that she let him [censored] her in the ass, then she said, id rather let you do it, you want to? i pretty much lost all respect for her after she told me that

i hope Brandy gets help one day, and can stay off the pole

WEll I finished 3rd in the BPT

2006-12-16T19:08:00.000-05:00

Coincidently, I finished 3rd for the seson qualifying too.

I ended up busting out Quackpot, I feel kinda bad about it, b/c after all was said and done, he finished 22nd for qualifying. On the other hand, he is a tough opponent, so I'm glad I wont have to face him in the final.

I'm pretty excited about playing the final next week, and owe it to the guys at poker.com to continue my blog should I qualify for the Aussie Million.

Poker.com has show to be a very respectable company, and demostrated several times to me that they are above par. They dont have as much traffic as some of the other sites, but they are very trustworthy and run some excellent promotions. I encourage anyone who hasnt played their to give them a shot.

heres my hand history for bounty

2006-12-16T17:35:00.000-05:00

2006-12-15T21:20:00.000-05:00

this will be the last BPT regular event, I have to finish at final table at least to have a shot at final.

its been kinda crappy for me this season, i have missed alot of games b/c of family obligations.

i only really played the first 2 events this season, but finished well in first one.

i can also try to bust the bounty this event, since he is already guaranteed a spot he put his host bonus on the line as a bounty.

to everyone playing good luck! and wish me luck!

I think this blog is closing in on the end

2006-12-03T23:02:00.000-05:00

I have decided to end this blog sometime this month. I am going to continue to blog, but under a new blog. I am going to use my new blog to chronicle things outside of poker. Mainly just life in general.

I am going to retire this url, and all of my poker related links. I have decided to do this just b/c of recent events. The poker legislation has changed the online poker world. Online poker is moving even more into the gray area. I dont think I should outline my online activites for all to see, and I have more important things going on in my life right now than to maintain a poker related blog.

I am happy with my poker progress over the last year. I have definetly grown as a player. I have gone from a frequent depositing player, to a regular withdrawer. I have recouped all of my losses from my early days. Won a couple of tournaments, cashed high in some larger (by my standards) buyin tournaments, played in 2 of my highest buyin tournaments (550) and played multiple 215, and 109 tournaments. I have improved my NL game tremendously, refined my limit game into a steady revenue stream. I have played Live, and made many friends along the way.

I will continue to play, and work on my game as my life allows. I truely enjoy this game that we play, and the challenges it presents, and the rewards that come studying and improving my skills.

In closing I want to send a shout out to eric, titan, zeke, and ashley. Thanks guys for chatting about poker, life, and everything else that came up.

godspeed

First post in a while, obv

2006-11-21T20:52:00.000-05:00

Its tough to blog, play poker, work and deal with a wife and 3 kids. throw into that mix a couple of inpromptu chaotic situations, and blam something gets overlooked.

Had an emergency with my son when he feel and cracked his head on concrete. We ended up can ambulance, but he is ok now. Except for a case of croup. All of the kids are sick right now.

I found out my brother is hooked on heroin, he's already on a 35 year suspended sentence for dealing cocaine to an informant.HE has already served 2 years b/c of the frugs. Its really sad b/c he has 2 kids of his own. I confronted him about it, and he said he want help, but kinda blew it off when i kept on him about it.

Someone stole a safe out of my moms house with >20k in jewelry, cash, and passports etc. There is strong speculation that my drug addict brother is involved.

I'm going to try and get more entries in, and maybe expand on some of the life issues I am facing, but time is limited at this current moment.

I joined a gym at the end of October, I hit my max weight in September of 215. I am 6 foot tall, so its not obese, but definetly a wake up call. I just turned 30 this year and dont really feel like seeing 250 b4 i am 40. I have gone to the gym everyday and gone on a modified low carb diet. I am doing cardio and weight training. I am at 194, and starting to tone. It is rough though b/c I go to the gym every workday at 5 am, b4 I head to work.

I have also been playing poker. I have played mostly on doyles room, Ub, and stars this month. I left doylesroom, just b/c the tables are too slow for my liking. I was playing at UB and then I was reading an article on 2+2 about bots, and investigated it a little bit more, and it seems that UB is loaded with bots. I am sure I can beat a bot, just like exploiting a player, but I dont know about playing a team of bots. I have decided to play at Stars exclusively, just b/c I know when they seiaze accts of cheaters they distribute it back to the affected players. I also read on the bot forums that they were having some problems with stars, so I assume stars is always taking measurs to stop or prevent bots. At least more so than UB.

I have cashed out some of my winning s for the month, but here are my results up to tonight.I am pretty pleased with them. And have a nice chunk of rakeback coming.I have decided to set a goal for myself of getting Supernova status next year. When you do the math, its not really that unreasonable, I would need to earn on avg 275 VPP per day, playing limit 1-2 tabling you can earn that in about 2 hours of play.

I hope to add more later, maybe on turkey day :-) Hope everyone has a good thanksgiving!

Why the hell did I ever

2006-11-01T20:08:00.000-05:00

Quit playing limit Holdem?? I was playing on absolute earlier this year and even though it was saturated with nits, I grinded out a nice profit. No I am building a solid bankroll at doylesroom. I have increased my deposit 14x over. feels good...

time for a little brag post

2006-10-30T22:22:00.000-05:00

I deposited $60 onto doylesroom 12 days ago, basically so i could check it out and take advantage of the free bounty tournament.

I have put in 3,019 hands of holdem, 1-$5 STT (first), a couple of of $1-$5 HU matches (probably even), a couple of very short sessions at :low limit PLO8, OM8, fixed stud & stud and HL Stud8, and donated at badugi. with the exception of 2-3 session I have single tabled all this play.

Tonight after clearing my bonus, I am at $603.xx. These tables are incredibly soft! i just cant describe it. fishcakes deep, if you can spot them, and get over the inevidible suckouts without going on tilt, its a gold mine!

I'm debating if i want to move some of my $ back to UB where i am getting rakeback, or if i should keep on playing at doylesroom.

thats the end of my brag post, hopefully i can keep the momentum going.

If you want to try Doylesroom please use my link! I get $25 for refering friends, not much but I will split it with you and transfer you $15 via stars or neteller. You must get 10,000 AP's, and deposit at least $50. You get a free bounty tournament that earns 500 fpps, and the other fpp's are awarded 100 per stt/mtt fee, or 1 per penny of rake. they accumulate fast! they also have a ton of freerolls that you can buy in with APs.

here is the link if you signup leave me a response on here with your email (i wont make your post public) and I will send you an email to find out how you want transfer.

gl!

I'm not sure I am still getting traffic or

2006-10-28T23:56:00.000-04:00

if any of my regular readers are still checking.

I have been scarce wehn it comes to posts. Coincidently this occured around the time the bullshit as ban was signed. But I am also in the middle of a family crisis of sorts. Coupled with a newborn, a busy and demanding work schedule I just havent had much time.

A significant portion of my bankroll is being held hostage currently by betwwts, which equates to theft IMHO. bodog took over so I am pretty confident that I will get mymoney back eventually, but not at the moment.

I have been playing on Doylesroom, which is an alright sight. Since my bankroll is crippled I have started playing short handed limit cash games again. These games are super soft at doyles room. I have been playing .5/1 to 2/4 for the time being. Just depending on what I am in the mood for. But not really playing too much. I have only played about 2-3k hands this month (if that).

One great thing about doyles room is they made anyone who was a VIP at party, paradise or any of the other sites that stopped allowing us players a VIP if they sent them an email (read no proof necessary). They also give you a free $55 bounty tournament rebate. I played in this and was doing extremely well but got sucked out on twice. but it was free so i cant complain.

Today was a blogger poker tour event. I couldnt particiapte. It was actually a reschedule of last weeks scheduled game. last week they had server issues so about 3 mins before it was to start it was canceled :-(. I had redcross training today All freaking day! 10 hours of training, and all i can say is it sucks! I had to do it b/c my wife runs a licesnsed childcare and if I am needed to assist at times I need annual certifications. Anyway I finished 50 in the blogger poker tour, without playing a hand :-) the field was about 102 so I at least earned a couple of points. I got home when it was down to the final table and watched alittle bit before Iperpared some dinner.

Hopefully I can help find a resolution to my family crisis, and move foward. Its really a disheartening situation. It doesnt involve my wife or kids, but rather one of my younger brothers. I might get into it more later, but right now I am going to have to refrain.

I dont want to get into a political rant, but in closing I have to encourage all US registered voters to get out on Nov 7th and vote for your state reps that are interesting in preserving our freedoms and rights to make our own desicions as adults. Governemnt prohibition didnt work before, and it shouldnt be used to drive online gaming underground. I can see it now, online "speakeasy's".

gl at the tables, and if you want some soft competiton and a free $55 tournament entry sign up for doyles room. There is a link to the right. You wont be dissapointed!

Total game over 33 - 1 unit
Denver to score first - 1 unit
First score DEN TD - 1 unit
Mcnair TL pass yrds <205.5 - 0.5 unit

My football picks

2006-10-08T13:38:00.000-04:00

This week I decided to fade some of the favorites. you can view consensus picks at wagerline.com

I took

CHI/BUF +34.5 WIN
TENN +17 at IN WIN
KC at ARI ML LOSS
NYJ at JAGS-7 WIN
NYJ/JACK +38.5 WIN
DAL at PHI evenWIN
KC/ARI -40 LOSS
BAL at DEN -4

EDIT TO ADD SUN NIGHT
PITT ML @ SDLOSS
2 team parlay
PITT+3 @SDLOSS
PITT/SD +37

All the bets are for 1 unit EXCEPT the baltimore denver game(edit I also added 1.5units to PHI YAY!!), which is a proposition bet. $100 no lose bet on Denver. I had planned on making this pick anyways so this just adds some gravy :-) You might still have time to take it too. If you do please use my refer a friend link below.

Exlcuding parlays I am 7-3 for the season, I hope I can keep it up. So far my CHI/BUF and TENN bets are looking good.

A dissapointing finish to the 2nd Blogger Poker Tour

2006-10-07T20:20:00.000-04:00

I took 9th when my Q high flush ran into the A high flush. I was drawing to 1 out hoping to catch the straight flush.

Didnt happen. I was the second chip stack and was in the pot with the chip leader. The guy who got my chips went on to win. Congrats Natsdad!

It was a good time. I hadnt played a MTT in 2 weeks, and it reminded me of how much I enjoy them. I wish my schedule and responsibilies were more forgiving and would allow me to play tournaments a little more often.

I did notice that the play seemed a little more solid than previous events. I didnt see any blatant donkey plays, and for the most part think people took the tournament pretty seriously. There is a serious prize on the line at the end of the series, hopefully I will be in contention for a trip to the Aussie Millions.

I would like to note that a new LAG reared his head tonight. The one and only Pokerrind333 made some very aggro plays, and played well.

Congrats to all the players who made it to the final table. I hope to see you all finish behind me during the next event.

Good Luck!

I thought I would LAG it up this morning on the $10NL tables. I sold a super donk image early and gave away most of a buyin. I got into as many cheap pots as possible and stacked off a ton of short stacks. The best was when i busted KK with 85o. Something about dishing out" bad beats "makes it easier when I get dealt my own beats.

Once I hit about 3buyins the table scattered and I had a gew guys come thru and play some heads up b4 I stacked them. None bought in full so it wasnt as profitable as I would have liked.

My bankroll is lower than my last update, and I doubt I will make my goal this month unless my sportsbets come thru.

here is a picture for your viewing pleasure. look at my super LAG stats :-)

Football season

2006-09-21T11:16:00.000-04:00

WEll I waited til week three, but think i am going to get in a little football handicapping this week. I dont have a ton of funds available to throw into a sportsbook, so am going to start small. I threw in a little mad $ into bodog, and am going to make a few picks this week. I am going to check my picks against the goldsheet, but it looks like i will take the following single bets:

Chicago -4
Tennessee +11
Baltimore -7
Philly -6.5
Atlanta -4

I am going to also play a 5 team parlay of all the games.

Bodog offers a 10% ongoing deposit bonus and the best customer service I have ever expereinced in a sportsbook/poker room period.

Check them out!

EDIT WITH PICKS

Well I made my picks. I ended upo not taking any straight bets this week. I only wanted to play with $35 just to make the games more interesting.

My first pick is my crazy insane parlay, with less than a 1% chance of coming thru.

I just made the picks for fun really. I have hit a 5 team parlay before but never a 7 teamer.

The second pick for the week is so that I have a little action on the home team. I really couldnt take them with a 7 point favorite, so I teased out the action, and since I was at it took the Bengals with a tease and just to make it look good threw in the Eagles as a teased dog vs SF.

Those are my picks for the week. $36+$3.60 bonus to win 1 million..... I mean to win $759.51. I'd be happy to break even., and really really hope that the eagles cover on the 49ers! if not I'm screwed :-p

I think the key to sports betting is not to bet an amount that will ruin your weekend if you lose. My bets wont affect me if I win or lose, but will make the games a little more interesting ;-)

wish me luck!

The second season of the blogger poker touris starting this saturday

Get Flash

last season i took 9th, and took down at least 1 of the freerolls for $125.

This season they are giving away an Aussie Millions prize package.

Sign up now! game on!

in other news im still not able to get on UB, therefore i have not been playing....

im a tilt box

2006-09-14T17:28:00.000-04:00

lost 100 today, but decided if i was going for broke i would play blackjack! i managed to recoup 60% of my losses and then decided i had better stop while i was ahead.......

one of my sickest beats came when i flopped a set of A's and my opponent caught a river straight after i put him allin on the turn.

i also ran my trips into a bigger kicker for a stackoff...

my ub client broke on my laptop and i cant figure out how to fix it so im probably not going to be playing tonight. its owrking on my desktop but i prefer to play in the livingroom.

i was offered a bankroll building oppurtunity today, if itcomes through i will be close to 500, but im not holding my breath.....

no alcohol tonight

2006-09-13T22:17:00.000-04:00

and thats just unfortunate.....

I didnt play much, in fact i didnt think i would be playing long. i cashed out my ub acct but left $4 and some change in there. i decided to screw around at the 10nl table with it, and managed to get it up to $24. Not to shabby. I was dealt AA twice in a row, and had a very lag image. i called an allin with A4, the guy was on a stack of less than $2, and caught my A vs his 88. he asked me why i called an allin with A4 and i said "b/c i wanted to put a bad beat on you" he ended up tilting and dumping several buyins to the table.

So the first hand i get AA I didnt get allin, the cards kinda scared me off

----------------------------------------------------------------

so the br is 212 and am still behind my taget by $8. I was hoping to have my ub withdraw process so that i can hop over to absolute and get some rakeback and clear a bonus that is good for today. it doesnt look like its going to happen so i will probably head to one of the cryptologic sites and try to collect a bonus along with rakeback.

thanks for reading

luckily i manged to pull myself back to even. honestly though my big losing hands werent entirely based on my bad play, but maybe underestimating my opponents.

I had a friend come over for dinner tonight, and he brought a bottle of port wine he picked up in portugal. Really tasty, but we pretty much polished it off between the two of us b/c my wife didnt care for it. Port wine is a little stronger than she is used to since its fortified with brandy, and this particular bottle was 40 proof.

So he took off and i fired up the laptop to play in a MTT I qualifed for sometime this weekend that was a sat to a super sat for the UB Aruba MTT. I got bored pretty quick and didnt really wantto commit 4 hours to the tourney and pushed in a 4 way pot with my 99. The play had been crazy and i figured i would quadruple up or move along. 93 vs QJ vs AK vs me :-/ I was ahead until the turn that produced and A, and it was over for me. no worries though.
I guess the laggy bug got me and the result was the following hands....

So the end result was about a $2 boost to the br, b/c i cleared my last buck and change in bonus money.

I realized that I am kinda stuck for the moment though, I am epecting a neteller transfer tommorrow and my UB email doesnt match my neteller email, i usually switch around when i am cashing out from ub, but since ub transfers arent instant i dont want to screw my self on my other transfer. Anyhow if i play any tommorrow it will probably be on ub, then i am not sure if i am goingto hit up sun or absolute to clear some bonus and rakeback.

so thats were im at, just about $7 behind my target but am not playing anyymore tonight b/c my head isnt quite there.

took the win tonight

2006-09-11T22:04:00.000-04:00

unfortunately i could have booked a little bit more. I got sucked out on by a hyper aggro donk (at least thats what his screenname was, im not sure i could argue against that either)

I ended up playing 251 hands tonight, and made just over $50. Still has me below where I was yesterday morning though.

Current br is 198.05, todays target was 187.29, so i am just a little ahead of my target. I only have ~$1 left in bonus money at UB, so I will probably move over sunpoker where i have rakeback and a monthly bonus i can clear. my br #'s donk include my referral bonus which i will probably pick up in the next 5 days or so.

anyway, thanks for checking out my blog, gl at the tables!

shoulda took the profit

2006-09-10T23:44:00.000-04:00

i played more today, and it was bad. I lost 3 big hands and could never make anything happen after that.

I had KK vs AA vs a hyper aggressive player, who i thought i had trapped. i was playing 25nl but had about 35-40 invested in the table... stacked....

i had aces full of 8s vs 4 of a kind 8s another 35 loss.

and i had KQ high flush vs A9 flush close to another 30 loss.

after that any big hands i had were offset by losses. I was playing a 50nl game some crazy fool called with 63 sooted and caught a back door flush. he had no other draws.

my bankroll is lower tonight, ~135. just overall shitty

I have $50 referral bonus coming later this week, so im still not to far behind my target.

colts won tonight, so the day wasnt a complete loss :-p

grinding away

2006-09-10T14:35:00.000-04:00

So I have been steadily meeting my daily targets. I am playing 25nl now instead of 10nl, and took a couple of shots at 50nl but wasnt playing my A game b/c i was to concerned with playing to high.

So at the 25nl level i am doing well, my br is up to 245, about 4 days ahead of target. Now I wonder if i should keep playing or take the rest of the day off once I hit my target. I hardly played yesterday (maybe 100 hands or so) and hit my target easily. Today I have played 117 hands and shown 34 profit. Most of these hands were played in the wee hours while i was up with the baby.

The kids are sleeping and the wife is at a birthday party so I am going to play for about another hour before calling it a day. I think its easier to call it a session when you are up vs. being stuck. Should you keep playing when winning or take the profit and call it a day?

I'd like to add that I'm not one to hit and run, and only leave a table when its broke, or everyone is on a <20bb stack. I dont like the idea of hitting a small profit and running from a table. I dont think it improves your game, and if one is scared to play a big stack, they need to refine their game.

thanks for reading my ramblings....

lot of play no progress

2006-09-09T10:20:00.000-04:00

I played400 hands yesterday. Which is a lot for me really. I ended the day down a little bit, but fired up this morning while drinking my coffee and stacked off a guy twice in first 2 hands.

Taking the kids out today, and then hittin gup alittle yardwork before we have some friends over.

There wont be much play for me today, although I had wanted to take a shot at the Stars Silver VIP freeroll.

I am still on target for my monthly goal, and accumulating some rakeback.

The br sits at 203.60, and my goal would have me at 154.30 so I am about 3 days ahead of schedule. I'm heading back to work next week though, so its going to be a little tougher to keep up.

blackjack is evil

2006-09-07T10:05:00.000-04:00

so I went back to UB which i think really stands for Ultimate Blackjack, basedon their recent software "upgrades."

It was late last night and I didnt feel like sitting in a ring game, so I thought I would see what the multiplayer BJ tourneys were all about. I signed up for a $1 tourney. Basically its a blackjack stt, where you try to accumulate more chips than the other players in 30 hands, with elimination hands every 10 hands or so.

One guy got dealt 4 blackjacks in the first 10 hands. I ended up going out 3rd at about 15 hands. Only the top 2 spots pay.

I thought I would mosey over tot the single player blackjack and see what the stakes were. Min bet was $1, I sat with $10 and watched the dealer get dealt 3 black jacks in 7 hands, every time an ace was up it was over for me. I was only betting a single dollar, and was even or down $1. I decided to increase my bet to $3, dealer hit another black jack. this left me $6, I decided to bet $2, dealt TT with dealer showing a 3. I split for a 19 and 18. dealer showed 3-8, hit for a T.... blackjack is so rigged. I decided it was time to cut my losses and took my last $2 back to my poker acct.

I played a short 6 max $10nl session and picked up ~$6 of my losses before calling it a night.

Man I am happy to be back at UB, although there are currently issues with pahud on UB. The display positions arent working quite right with the recent upgrade. I am not concerned about it though since I have been working on playing without pahud. I did notice one player at one of my tables last night who was down ~$400 at the $1o level. I'm not sure how he escaped my friends list but that was quickly resolved.

I like the idea of breaking my monthly goal down into a daily target. It makes the goal feel much more attainable. I am trying to think of a good target for next month, butthink I will have a better idea of what I shoudl strive for once this month is closing up.

Today being the 7th my goal is/was to be at $121.40, I am currently sitting with $175.61. Obviously my bonuses have helped a little, but I'll take it anyway I can get it. Next month I will have a little rakeback assisting in my goals.

I'll probably update my bankroll, playing stats later tonight. Good luck at the tables and thanks for stoping by.

missing something when its gone

2006-09-06T11:29:00.000-04:00

namely sleep.... but i'll survive

i have been able to play a little bit the last couple of days. my wife todl me she didnt mind if i played as long as the kids were alright and i didnt have other things to do. i almost fell out of my chair. thats the only time i have played in the past, but it was always an issue.

I was playing $10 nl on stars but soon realized i am killing myself by not getting rakeback on my play. i have switched back to UB now. O how I missed UB. the clean interface, the speed, and all my little "buddies".

I have been single tabling and working on playing without relying on pahud. its been a good exercise, and has kept me paying attention to the action.

I had originally set up a goal of reaching $500 by oct 8th, but pushed that deadline up to Sept 30th. I am on target with my goal. Taking 6.25 off my target meant that I would need to earn $16.45 per day. Today is the 6th meaning my bankroll should be $104.95 by the end of the day. It is currently $170. So I am right on track. I have to go now, wife has some chores for me :-(

gl at the tables

its been a long weekend

2006-09-02T20:45:00.000-04:00

and it s just getting started. My wife's water broke thursday evening about 5:30 pm. we headed off to the hospital about 7.

My second beautiful daughter was born at 3:18 am September 1st. Only about 2.5 hours of sleep between thursday morning and friday evening. How do ppl pull off 24+ hour poker sessions?

Wife and baby are still in the hospital but I came home to spend time with and take care of the other kids. Grandma's have been pulling split duty, but we didnt want the other kids to feel left out.

My poker goals for September are going to be slim. I am going to try to manage $15 a day profit. I am starting at $6.25, but am already ahead of the game by $100 b/c of some PSO and pokersavy points/bonuses I cashed in.

If I dont make my goal, I can live with that. There are more important things in my life right now.

Fortunatly my wife had an easy delivery, and her sister is planning on coming out and helping for a week or 2 in october.

Children are the ultimate joy of life, too bad they cost so much to raise. If I had ~1mil I would have as many children as possible. Right now it looks like I will need to win a stars million justto put the 3 i have through college.

Gl all!

back to bonus whoring and picking up free $

2006-08-31T10:05:00.000-04:00

I am working with a small bankroll again. some shortcomings in STT's have knocked me down. I decided to go and see if i could find any good offers for free $ or bonuses.

I'd like to remind people that Poker Source Online has some great offers for free $, sweet freerolls [I won one once :-)] and other ways to pad your bankroll.

Another up and comer that is very similar to Poker Source Online is Poker Savvy.

Poker Savvy is a smaller operation but very trustworthy. I have done several promos through them. Including free$ and a rediculous promo at Mansion Poker. Click the Poker Savvy link and be sure to check their forums for new promotions.

Matt at Poker Savvy has hosted some cool promotions for bloggers in the past including freerolss and WSOP promotions. Poker Savvy also has an option to transfer cash directly into your neteller account once you complete promotions.

Anyway I think I am going to revist these guys and see if I can pick up a little boost to my bankroll.

closing august

2006-08-27T21:58:00.000-04:00

lost a couple of buyins this weekend to the $13 double shoot outs to the million.

I played a ton of stud h/l. no major results though.

I have decided to go back to playing short handed nl on UB, so that i can pick up rakeback.

At the same time, I am not going to be playing much at all the next month. My wife is due with our new baby girl tommorrow. She goes in to the dr tuesday, and will be induced prior to this coming sunday. I am going to have a ton going on trying to balance work, 2 kids, a new baby, and letting my wife get some rest and recouperation. Poker is going to take a back street to all of these more important issues.

I am going to try to play the stars vip freerolls, and maybe 1 30 min session of 6 max nl each week. This may or may not happen, but its about the extent of my poker goals for september.

made silver vip status

2006-08-24T23:22:00.000-04:00

not that it means much.

I really want to get pokertracker stud, but cant afford to pull $60 out of my br for it right now.

I was playing 2-3 tables tonight. at one point another player stated that a nother player on the table was requesting to play hu with me in a $50 stt. obviously this would be ludacris given my bankroll. but i found it funny. It didnt take me long to figure out the other player had revoked chat privledges and it was probably for steaming and talking shit to other players.

i went through the rest of the session telling him he shouldnt steam, and that its not good for his health. now this could cause him to steam more, but i really meant it. its so pointless to get worked up over a poker GAME to the point that your blood pressure is bulding, your thoughts and judgement are blurred and you are no longer focusing on the GAME but rather vengance.

I used to have a terrible temper, and at the time a total disregard for the law or well being of others. (Hence the nickname scaryjerry) It ended up getting me into trouble, obviously this is a natural progression. I was fortunate enough to never kill anyone, and when I injured others it could be interpretted as self defense during the times that law enforcement became involved.

I did pickup a couple of charges though, and it resulted in a one year anger management program. Its kind of funny though, because the program was only a 6 month program but they gave me double.... So I got to hear everything twice.

At the time I thought it was a total bullshit program. Towards the end I can definetly say it had a positve influence on me. I learned some conflict resolution techniques and how to deal with my anger and adrenaline. It wasnt a magic remedy by any means. I would still have situations that came up where I would go over the edge, but they werent as often.

I took this class 10-9 years ago. Over the years I have learned how to deal withthings a little better, and how to avoid those situations that would likely send me over the edge. I also learned to deal with the minor annoyances that in the big picture dont really matter and arent worth getting worked up over.

I think the people that steam at the poker table are the same fools that have road rage. The cant see the big picture and come to the realization that in the short term its sucks when someone sucks out on you (or cuts you off) but in the long term its not going to affect your destination.

I am at the point in my poker playing where if someone sucks out on me through terrible play the most extreme thing I will say is "solid" or "gh". Even then its rare that I make those comments, less than 5% of the time. Why bring attention to the fish at the table or scare them off?

Personally, I play poker because I enjoy it; win or lose. I couldnt imagine enjoying it if I spazzed out everytime some idiot sucked out on me, and felt like i had to berate them and head hunt.

It's just not worth it, in the long run the only person you are affecting with this type of behavior is yourself. Your causing yourself to put extra mileage on your body, and affecting your enjoyment of the game.

thanks for reading and gl at the tables

grinded out a profit tonight

2006-08-22T22:08:00.000-04:00

I am going to pick up pokertracker stud so that I can track my wins/losses win rate etc.

I did pick up about 50bb's tonight. I didnt play any stt's or mtt's. I played stud h/l and except for a couple of hands ran over my opponents. It amazes me that ppl will call down with middle pair. I had a couple of nice scoops, but am to tired to look them up. This is one of the reason I want to pick up ptstud.

I am close to getting silver vip status. something i never really concerned myself with. but now that i am close i am going to push through. I only need 287 more fpp's. i am sure i can pick that up with 1 or 2 more sessions of 2 tabling.

It seems the new WSOP Champ is turning out to be a potential douchebag. It looks like he is trying to welch on his agreement to chop his win with his "friend". Story

Honestly I feel that if you are a gambler, whether its a sportsbettor, pokerplayer, blackjack player, horse bettor, etc and you renig on an agreement or wager associated with gambling then you deserve to have your ass kicked. A $20 renig is worth a dot in the eye, 6 mil renig would be enough to put somone over the edge and dot your mom in the eye or worse.

This guy hyped up that the $ wasnt important to him, yada yada yada. Why doesnt he pay the ppl he promised? I hope the new spokesman for poker mans up and pays his people.

need an oil change

2006-08-21T23:40:00.000-04:00

I wasnt even going to play today. I did though after the wife and kids went to bed. i ran so bad today.... o so bad.... i wont go into the details. I am not busto though. I threw on the brakes. I stopped playing horse. I think I have an edge but not enough to warrant playing over my bankroll.

I played a $6 turbo and got no love from mr jones. I went down and played lower limit stud h/l. My best limit game. Lower variance, and more of an edge. I think I am going to use it build back up at least for a while. I am also playing at a limit where about 1/2 the hands will earn me a FPP.

I noticed tonight that I might get to silver status this month. It would be the first time. I'm not even sure how the program works, but I only have 474 FPP to go. I have nt really played on stars since they implemented that program. To give you an idea. I have 1,833 VPP's, 1,026 were earned this month, and 741 of those were earned in the last week and a half.

I hope I can get a free Pezz dispenser with my FPP's, one with lee jones head on it. I can put green pezz in his head and pretend they are dollars.

bad table selection can be a bitch....

2006-08-20T23:22:00.000-04:00

I got some play in tonight, but would have been better off if i hadnt.

I played 2 $16 stt's. blanked in both. Bubbled in one when my QQ ran into A6o... how do you call off your chips with A6o? this wasnt short stack vs big stack. We both had just under the CL with a short stack on the table.

I also lost about 35bb in the horse game. I sat in a super fishy game, intentionally. If these guys wouldnt hit miracle cards on 7th street my br would have been over 1k today.... I took some serious bad beats. Had wired 9's busted to a 7th street gutshot with only 2 outs.... I was actually down alot more than 35bb but fought back, and was having a good run on another table.

Anyway my bankroll is down to $255.44. I dont think I am going to play or do any poker tommorrow. I was reading pokerrinds grind blog (in blog roll) and I think I should spend some time with my wife.

this morning

2006-08-20T10:09:00.000-04:00

I played a little while drinking my coffee and waking up. I was back at it on the HORSE games, and threw in a little NL 6 max $10 max, as well as 2 $16 turbo STT's, and a $2 triple shoot out.

The horse game was kinda short, my shortest yet actually, but I ended up ~20 I think.

I didnt make it past my first table of the dbl shoot out. I dominated the table early and had a monster chip stack going into HU. my opponent hit a couple of key suckouts (like rivered straight vs my AA, and floping a 9 with his K9 vs my AK) Not much time wrapped up in it, and it was fun.

Only played the 6 max for ~10 hands, the nswitched to horse. I had a profit of ~$0.30. I actually thought it was a $0.05/$0.1 table but it was a $0.02/$0.05. I decided not to continue.

In my STT's I placed 5th in the first one. a bummer, but got my $ in with QQ vs AK. No worries though I was less than avg stack and blinds were getting high (100/200)

In my second STT I finished second. I kinda jacked it up a little. I was out chipped by 1k, on button (sb) opponent raised 4x, and I pushed on him I had A6s, he had A9o. Neither of us caught anything and it was game.

I have some household matters to tend to today so I most likely wont get any any more pokering the rest of the day, or even tonight. My bankroll is now $365.14. I am thinking about pulling it out of stars though incase they offer a deposit bonus for the WCOOP. Might go back to UB for a while and hit the 6 max NL.

pimpin HOES in HORSE

2006-08-19T23:29:00.000-04:00

ok... I know my last post was about the mixed game on stars, but i cant help myself.

This game is the nuts! some much +EV. It so freaking juicy. If you have anysort of Stud skills you need to get in these games.

Unfortunately for me the lowest limit is 1/2, so I'm not practicing the smartest bankroll mangement. However, there are tons of players in these gmaes that are way more under bankrolled. I have seen guys sit in with ~$20, and go broke in an instant. I'm not as concerned about my bankroll shortcomings b/c of the split games. and Obv razz is an low action game unless you have some total fishcake in it. (I did pickup a $48 pot from one with my 6543A)I love it when the players are asking how to play Razz.

I did have some suckouts a couple of hands, but cant be avoided in limit games. It just sucks when you know the other guy is on the low, but manages to 2 pair on 7th street and scoop.

I have been playing at least one cycle through the games, but have sat in up to 4 or 5 rotations. I am definetly hooked on these games for the time being.

Growing up draw was the first poker game I learned. Stud was the second and most common. I am pretty good at reading hands and valuing my draws.

So besides my Horse play, I played a 180 man $22. I finished about 90th. I was on the button and opened for a raise 3x. bb pushed on me. I had AQs. I had pushed on him the last 3 hands we were involved together, and he folded. I really though about it and felt like he was trying to make a statement that he was tired of me coming over the top of him. I checked the lobby, and if I were to dbl up I would be in the top 7 and could really start abusing ppl with my stack. I elected to make the call. I was right in my read he showed A9o. the flop came all 9xx with 2 of my suit. Unfortunately I didnt catch a Q or a diamond and was out. I then went back to my mixed games :o)

So the bankroll took a nice boost today. I am now at $312.39.

Thanks for reading, and like I said get to stars if you have any stud skills before all the fish are skinned and learn their lesson.

GL!

skeeeting out my hose

2006-08-18T23:10:00.000-04:00

Stars just introuduced a gold mine for the multifaceted player. HORSE, HOSE, and RAZZ cash games.

imagine a bad player at limit holdem, now throw 4 more games in front of them that they dont understand and rake it in. sure you will get the occassional bad beat by the player playing cards that should have ben folded without thought, but you'll pick up plenty to make up for those losses.

I played HOSE tonight 1/2 limit. i actually meant to sit at a horse table, but realized it was hose when razz was skipped.

I played 2 roatations, 8 hands of each game for 64 hands. I left the table up 23bb. :-)

I also played a $6 turbo and blanked in that. was nt paying enough attention, b/c of trying to pick out the weak players in the hose game.

I'm looking forward to more of the mixed game action.

My bankroll is at 163... skeet skeet

negative roi session

2006-08-18T10:12:00.000-04:00

I played a $3.30 horse turbo stt, and 4 $16 NLHE STT's. blanked in all of them (I'll post some hh's later.

I also sat in some cash games. I got stacked with FH over FH (damn river) and lost $10, I think I lost another buyin but dont remeber how it happened exactly...

I also played round of horse on stars they are only offering 1/2 limit and higher. 8 hands of each game. I picked up ~5bb. the play was pretty good, but i think thats b/c i picked a table with a lower vpip.

bankroll is down to ~$125 right now.

I am going to step back down to the $6 turbos tonight.

now for my next trick i skeet on these weak tight bitches

2006-08-16T23:09:00.000-04:00

AKA stt 37 results.

I playeda 16 turbo. obv bigger than my bankroll should allow, but thought i'd take a shot. Let me preface this by saying that I have a very high ITM and ROI in the 16's that i have played in the past. i dont know the exact #'s but you can look them up on sharkscope if you feel inclined. I dont have a membership and dont really wish too. in fact once i get to a +profit over my entire stars history i am going to block my stats. I lost a lot on there when i first started playing but am on the incline.

anyway back to my skeeting on weak tight bitches.... check out this sick stt win... 40 hands skeet skeet

not bad considering I took a hit at 25/50 and was down to 610 chips UTG+1. I put no bad beats on anyone, and got my chips in with the best hands (except my 35d) to make my recovery.

the bankroll is up to $161.38. I am probably going to call it a night as far as playing poker goes. I might watch some material on one of the training sites but thats it. Had a long day up at 5am home from work at 7pm took wife to casual dinner and home at 9pm. kind of dragging and getting loopy. hence all the skeeting i did.

thanks for reading!

p.s. I am still trying to get my blog formatted, i dont like the colors but am fiddling with some javascript and some other ideas so you will definetly see changes in the future.

early morning session

2006-08-15T08:55:00.000-04:00

Today my wife had a dr's appt, and daughter started back to school. I was up early and had to watch the kids while my wife went to the dr.

I played a little $0.02/$.05 6 max NL. I have to say that short handed cash games are my favorite. I figured I can play the nickle game without much risk of ruin. I was shocked how soft the competition on pokerstars is at this level. On UB at the .05/.1 level there is still some pretty solid players, but IIRC they dont have short handed tables.

Anyway, In my short session (~30 mins) I picked up 2 buyins or ~$10's. I'm not sure exactly what my profit was but thats probably a fair estimate.

My bankroll is now $137.86. Almost a $100 increase in 4 days. I am definetly happy with these results. I am not going to get out of line though and am going to try and plug away at my goal of $500 by October 8th. If I reach that goal sooner great!, of not great! I'm going to stay focused and just slowly build and grind.

I read an interesting myth/rumor about Jamie Gold yesterday. Apparently he is Johnny Chans agent. I knew Johnny Chan was helping coach him during the WSOP. I guess Chan worked out a 10% deal with Gold. Pretty sweet for Chan. Apparently Gold also gave 50% of himself to a friend who helped him secure a celebrity for bodog. The celebrity was party of the deal that got Gold into the WSOP on a freeroll.

So after paying out his %'s and taxes Gold took down nearly the same as Alan Cunningham in 4th place.

this has to be the longest turbo i have ever played. 5 handed was 49 hands, 4 handed was another 16. the blinds were crazy high compared to stack sizes. the tournament lasted 44 mins.

it was obv rigged so that i would win, but not until the other guy got a fake glimmer of hope.

You may notice some changes

2006-08-14T13:46:00.000-04:00

I had originally considered abandonding this blog. I ran like shit again, and killed my bankroll. I got mixed up in playing some mddle limit Stud H/L (4/8)and played a couple of $50 & $100 MTT's. As a result I ran my bankroll down to nada.

It sucked, its the first time I have gone broke this year. Not completely broke b/c I had a small rakeback payment coming, but broke at the moment.

I redeposited $48 and set out to rebuild and actually follow bankroll management, once I had a working bankroll that is.

I setup a new blog at purechaospoker.blogspot.com. I was posting each of my STT results. Apparently blogger took this as a sign that my blog was a spam blog. First they made me use character recognition with each post, and then the suspended my account all together.

I was working on redesigning my blog template and carried over the changes I have made so far. I still have alot more changes in mind, but need to find the time to implement them.

I am pretty embarrassed that I went BUSTO due to my poor bankroll management. Even though the web is an annonymous forum, I feel that I have let myself down.

I am goign to go slow and steady from here on out, and keep a handle on my irrational bankroll management problems.

I have (or will be carrying over the significant posts from my other blog and then I am going to ditch it, or only use it to post individual game summaries if they reinstate it.

As of today my bankroll is back to $120 and I moving forward.

a review of my progress heading into the 30 stt's

first the stats.

non turbos

10 played
1 cash 2nd place
hours played - 4
hourly rate - (-10.02)
total buyins + rake - $40.40 + $4.9 (-45.30)
roi -75%

turbos

19 played
13 cashes (4-1st, 4-2nd, 5-3rd)
3 bubbles
ITM - 68.4%
hours played - 9.7
hourly rate - 8.97
total buyins + rake - $86.9 +$9.10 (-96)
total profit - $86.90
ROI - 78.2%

so in reviewing these #'s it becomes obvious that I am doing better at the turbos. I attribute this to the fact that if you play junk the affects are multiplied b/c of the quickly escalating blinds. I normally dont play anything except premiums and in late position i will play suited connectors and try to steal after the flop.

I am happy to be able to add to my bankroll. my total profit from stt's is $46.50, but i have played a couple of micro MTT's. 1 or 2 $1.50 45 man turbos, and a $2.2 triple shoot out to the sunday million. Obv these tourneys were blanks for me. It was just for something different. I also played a couple of FPP freerolls, but blanked in those as well. I also lost a little playing nickle dime O8b.

So my bankroll has increased $43.91 minus my blanks. that is a 91% increase from friday. I'll definetly book it. I have a long way to go, but hopefully I am on the right track.

I will be geting a rakeback payment soon. Its nothing large, just under $30. I am going to miss not getting rakeback, since i am playing on stars.

I will continue playing the $6 turbo's. I have done well in the past at teh $15's and look forward to playing them, but I am not going to risk ruin. I am already skating thin right now but when taking into the rake I think I am better off playing $6's instead of $3's. In a $6, the rake is 8.3%, in a $3 the rake is 13.3%.

So my short term goal is to move my bankroll up to $500 (~30 buyins) before I move up to the $15+1 turbos. It is going to be a slow grind. If I am able to keep up with my current overall ROI of 28% it will take me ~215 more stt's. My STT's are averaging ~30 mins each. so that equates to ~108 hours. I do not multitable, and dont really plan to pick it up until my bankroll is bigger. I will probably avg 1 hour per night 2 STT's before bed and after the wife/kids go to bed. and ~8 hours on the weekend. That is going to put me on avg at 13 hours per week of play. My goal should be to break $500 by the first week of October.

Obviously I hope I can pull this off a little earlier, but if not I now realize that slow and stead is really the way to go. Right now I am using a trial version of a STT tracking application. The cost of the app is $35 and I will probably pull that out of my bankroll also.

$5 stars sng's are like running up a mud hill in a rain storm blindfolded and drunk.

I dont know how to beat these idiots. obv if they dont hit their rediculous draws im golden.

anyway I am going to play some turbos now, at least i dont have to wait so long.... looks like i will be taking an extended break soon.

stt - 5

well at least i didnt finish with a perfect record. I ran overa $3 turbo and took first for $12 profit.

I was more or less a card rack and had a huge stack. still finished down though for the night-$11.30.

that was my last game of the night.

Starting here and moving forward

2006-08-11T10:36:00.000-04:00

The WSOP ME is over. I watched it live up until the dinner break. Great insight and guest commentaries. I hope they release the entire final table on dvd this year.

Anyway, I have a small bankroll to work with now. It is only $48, but its something. I am also still waiting on a rakeback payment that should come in this week. I wont be getting any rakeback payments next month though b/c I havent played any cash games this month.

I have been playing ultimatepoint stt's on UB. I have been doing pretty well too, although the cash value is minimal.

I have decided not to play the turbo STT's with my limited bankroll. To much variance and a quick escalation to push or fold unless you are the CL. I am going to play $5.5 STT's. I currently have just under 9 buyins. I need to hit the ground running and play to cash if I am going to make it.

I dont like the play to cash mentality, really I like to push every edge I get, but when building a bankroll its more important to cash than push edges. My edge right now needs to be able to dodge -EV situations.

So I am going to start chronicling all my play. I will be playing on poker stars exclusively. Mainly b/c I like the changes they have made to their software recently, and there is plenty of soft competition.

still have a solid bankroll, nice ITM, and sweet ROI.

I havent made many posts lately, I am comptemplating the future of my blog. I might take it down, I might redesign it. I not sure at this point.

My wife had a long episode of contractions on monday, so we spent a little time in the hosipital. They sent her home, but she is going to the dr today and may be induced. My poker game may be put on hold soon.

its a post filled weekend

2006-07-30T18:43:00.000-04:00

Just got back from a home game withsome friends that live in my neighborhood. It was more of a family gathering but we are pretty close with them. They had a little poker game going and asked me to join. Tiny buyin of $5 6 players winner take all.

It was honestly the fastest live game I have ever been in. first game I won in 5 hands. I actually offered last guy his buy in back I had 250 chips vs. his 45. He took it. First hand I hit 2 pair and a flush draw. Took out 1 player. Second hand I hit a set took out 2 players. Third hand I had TPTK and took out another player. Folded next hand. Next hand another set, game over.

Next game was over in 3 hands. First hand hit a flush took out 2 players. Second hand hit for another set took out another player. I folded next hand and onther player busted someone on a flus draw with his over paid. Next hand I had a straight draw (a ton of chips and a J), other player had a pair of 3's with a draw to a wheel. He moved in, I called and spiked a J on the river. Game over. I offered the other player an even chop since he had more chips than the first guy.

I gave my wife my profits she was too happy to accept. Interesting game for sure.

I hope I am never this successful

2006-07-30T11:47:00.000-04:00

poor guy

crushed a sitngo

2006-07-30T10:30:00.000-04:00

41 hands and I won :-) It was a turbo, and only at the $15 level.

I watched sheets take down a $500 stt last night on PXF, and decided to try to implement some of the aggression he used.

I doubled up early with KK vs AT, and had the leverage I needed.

I'm going to see about putting it in the PXF replayer and posting it.

I also calculated my ROI since I started playing on stars again. I think I may have missed some #'s though since I put in a bunch of them manually just by going through emails. I am going to ask stars for a July summary on tuesday.

My 3rd place win helped erase alot of my MTT deficit. I was in for $236 in buyins, $54 in add ons, and $23.30 in rake. for a total of $313.30 My cashes totaled $454.66. for a total profit of $141.36. I guess my ROI would be 45.1%. I played a total of 20 MTT's 3 being freerolls (FPP), and the avg buyin of the others being $17 when factoring in rebuys.

I played 22 STT's. 9 were turbos, 1 was a PLO8 turbo, and at least 1 6 man. I think I am missing some STT stats though. #1 I recall playing more than 1 6 man, and #2 my startring bankroll vs my current bankroll doesnt match the profit I am showing. I have little more $ than I am showing in my stats.

My total STT buyins was $267 with $22 in rake. My total cashes was $483.30. For a profit of $194.30 or a ROI of 67.2%. I know my sample size is small, but I'll take it. I have been playing great. and cashed in 12 of the 22 STT's. taking 5 firsts, 4 seconds, and 3 thirds. I did bubble in 2 of them too, which is dissapointing.

After I verify my stats with stars I am going ot post them. I am just happy that I am well above my previous bankroll goal.

made it deep in a big field

2006-07-29T22:53:00.000-04:00

feels good to navigate a donkey field :-p I played a $11 MTT, 1350 ppl. I got sucked out on early and crippled. I managed to pull out my nija mask and make a solid come back.

I finished 68. not a final table, but I think I did well given the circumstances. Never had a big stack, usually around avg.

only bummer is I played for 3 hours for $15.26 profit.

o well its all good.

a word of caution, dont request your tournament results for a group of tournaments if you have recently played the moneymaker freeroll. 10k ppl, and they sent me the whole list!

first final table in a while

2006-07-29T19:02:00.000-04:00

dissapointed to only take 3rd. I should have taken second at least and had a real shot at first. A couple of races with the short stack changed my momemtum, and took away my chip lead. The big stack slowplayed a set of ducks and got a grip on a lot of my chips.

Anyway its still a nice boost to my bankroll, and cant complain. I guess I should mention this was a $20 20 table sitngo. My best finish in this set of tournaments yet.

My wife is gone for the evening so I will probably play a couple more tournaments, at the very lest some more STT's. My bankroll is adequate to move up now, but I think I will wait a little bit longer.

I did get my STT/MTT history from stars and after I tabulate the play I put in today I am going to keep track of it in the side bar.

hitting a positive ROI

2006-07-29T00:23:00.000-04:00

I think my sitngo game has come a long way in the past 6-8 months. during the winter I could win pretty consistantly, but went on a bad run playing $55's. I decided I wanted to switch my game up, and joined cardrunners and started working on my NL cash game.

I think learning a selectively LAG style of play in the short handed NL cash games helped expand my SnG skills. watching MTT & STT videos has helped my game also. I think understanding how other players approach the game helped open my own thinking. I dont think there is a perfect way to play, but there are several successfull approaches.

I have been playing some 10 man turbos, and 6 man Sng's. I'm trying to work on my inflection point play, and heads up play. In the 10 mans I am having success cashing but hitting a lot more 3rds and 2nds than first. I really want to be able to close more frequently.

I am seeing my bankroll grow too through my sitngo play. This is very important right now. Fortunately I am still going to meet my previous goal unless I go on some rediculous cold streak.

I have been taking some shots at the micro level MTT's, $11 and under and $3r & $5r's. No success but I'm not playing in a MTT unless I take down a first. Kind of a way to reward myself and take shots.

I think I'm going to be playing on stars for a while, and am going to request my MTT/STT history for the last couple weeks and keep track of my ROI. I havent been very good about keeping track of this.

I havent been using my pokertracker/pahud. I think it could actually be detrimental to my STT/MTT play. given the different dynamics involved in play, and the way in which the play changes throughout different levels I think it could present information about my opponents that could be easily misinterpretted.

So if any of you know of solid software to track MTT/STT ROI please let me know. I knwo there is some on 2p2 but dont want to try them all if someone can recommend a solid one.

I'll post my results when stars send them to me.

good luck!

Super donkey steaming bubble tilt

havent posted in a while, mainly b/c i have played like shit... well not too bad but not profitably.

really sucked. I bubbled MTT after MTT. Usually getting my hand in with best hand. bubbling sucks, bubbling with good chips sucks worse, and bubbling with the best hand good chips and after 3 hours sucks the most, and steaming off a buyin at a cash game after you bust is the nutz.

Since I played the WSOP 100 seat guarantee I was bit with the tournament but with the high variance associated in MTT's I decided I should work on building my bankroll a little and play some STT's in order to get in the tournament frame of mind.

The skill sets in cash games vs MTTs/STTs are so different I felt like I should get back to STT's.

I'm doing alright in them, making sure my #1 goal is to cash, if you dont cash you dont show a profit. I dont play "scared" though, my bankroll is healthy enough that I have ~40 buyins to the $11's (what I'm playing). Once I am up to ~60 buyins I plan on hitting some more of the low level rebuy guaranteed MTT's and maybe some stud/O8 MTT's.

so thats where I have been. I am currently playing on stars just b/c I feel the competition in STT's is so low compared to FTP/UB. I played a STT the other day and we were 4 handed by the 30/60 level. Incedible!

Still no baby, but its getting close!

Good Luck to my buddy Eric at the WSOP, who starts sunday, and has had some good scores in live vegas MTT's the last couple of weeks.

a new experience

I played aton this weekend, but pretty much ground at even. i hit some bad spots and recouped losses. Fortunately I played on my rakeback account and think I picked up at least one buyin with my play. I'll have to check my stats tommorrow.

Tonight a friend it me up on IM and asked if I was playing tonight. I told him I ws in fact currently playing. I inquired if he was playing in the Full Tilt 100 seat WSOP guarnatee satellite. This tournament is right up his alley and bankroll. He said he couldnt b/c of some family obligations and asked if I wanted to play on his account. I was a little stunned. While I have known this guy online for about a year, and we have played together, done funds transfers, and a couple of other trust requiring deals, I was kind of surprised he offered to stake me in a $500 tournament.

Anyway we worked out the details of the arrangement and I registered to play about an hour before the tourney. The tournament drew in 3050 entrants and paid out 127 12k packages. My friend had already won a seat on FTP so he would collect cash if I won. He told me that he thought the field would be weak, and boy he was right.

I was a little shocked at some of the bad play I witnessed. Perry Friendman was at my table and involved in a hand where the other guy managed to suck out. kind of a funny exchange.

Perry Friedman: nh

Perry Friedman: My slow play on the turn cost me
Perry Friedman: Although I am not sure I like playing KT off from middle position :-)
RakinEmIn: was cheap
Dean (Architect): Do my eyes deceive me or is the low stack handing out poker advice?
Perry Friedman: yeah, but you end up putting yourself in a lot of awkward situations
kingweazel (Observer): lol dean
RakinEmIn: thats poker Perry
Perry Friedman: Other than flopping broadway.. what are you hoping for?
RakinEmIn: taking ur chips
Perry Friedman: If you hit your K or T, you can't be too confident
RakinEmIn: short stacked, how can I not take those risks, especially when the playing field is so large?

rakinemin didnt last through the first hour, probably too many risks.

I on the other hand probably played a little too conservatively, combined with being card dead and folding a couple of pocket pairs when the board came all overs I only made it through to about the second hour. I ended up busting about 900 of the 3050.

It was dissapointing, If I would have placed I would have been well into my 10k goal. It was fun though and an oppurtunity I wasnt expecting to have today. i am a little optomistic that my friend will stake me in some more tourney's later. He states that he feels it is +EV given all the times we have railed each other and discussed poker strategy. I'm not the kind of person to ask for something like that though, so we will see. If not I'll still be playing at that level on my own in the future.

Back to perry, I dont really know much about the guy but he is kinda funny at the poker table. I feel for the pro's at FTP. I know its there job to be approachable, but If it were me I'd have to tell ppl to fuck off. So many ppl were hounding him, asking him for autographed pics, and other crap. Like to play the play chip freeroll and just all around dumb stuff. He was very amicable and wit hteh exception of the jackasses he ignored always responded politely.

It was kinda funny though some ppl were complaining about the software running slow and he quiped "Perry Friedman: You should be fine on the rest of the site if you close the tourney". pretty sharp remark.

well i hope your weekedn was good thanks for reading!
