Baby vomit

FUN FUN FUN!!! Yup I got to clean up vomit today well not exactly but I did get some on me. I know I am writing earlier then I said but I kinda have a full day tomorrow so I thought I would write now. That is right Veronicas son Marcello decided to vomit tonight. Crazy thing is this is probably like the 10-20th time I have seen him puke. The 1st time was about a year ago on a fun car ride to South Lake Tahoe, ah the memories. Anyways cant quite explain it but something about him having too much milk combined with being congested and the result is puking. Funny thing is he pukes and starts crying and 2 minutes later he is splashing around in the bath like nothing ever happened. I love that little man more then I can explain.

As for poker here it is as promised. Good: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1153432 , this is just a fine example of the idiots out there giving away money. No way no how does he have the best hand at the river yet he decides to put me all in for almost 3 times the size of the pot. The only way I would call his river bet in this spot is at the best for him if I tie most times thought I am showing hima better hand and his play was just horrible. Thanks for the 100 bucks chump. Only played for 1/2hr today, felt I needed a small break to refresh my thinking and put some things together. From now on my bankroll will be refered to as BR.

BR $2079 I am down about 100 for the month which is way off pace to meet my goal but I have about 8000 hands under my belt. I feel a huge upswing coming. Look out idiots I am coming for your chips.

I got it!

What you ask? I got what it takes to make it. I see every move every angle I understand whats happening and I know when I am in trouble and then I ignore what I know and give my money away. You know that old saying give a man a fish etc... What if that man you teach just doesnt put what you taught him to use? Or he wants to but he always fishes at the wrong place at the wrong time. He fucking starves, thats right. I am tired of starving. There is a lot of talk about how the shuffle online isnt truly random and the game is rigged and all that but I am not a believer. Sometimes though you start wondering when time get hard and you ignore your instincts and what you know. I am tired of writing about ups and downs and I have devised a new blog agenda. I will be giving you two highlight hands a day and a running tally on my online bank roll. In the future I will most likely be posting two monster winning hands but today we will start out with one good and one bad.

The good: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1151805 this hand was a monster. I actually have quite a bit of table time against this opponent and was quite shocked when he shoved all his chips in. I couldnt believe that he would show me 6-8 for a bigger straight and I had to call here as I figured he was most likely to either show a 6 or be behind with three of a kind. This is when things are perfect.

The bad: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1151810 , funny thing is I keep beating myself up about this hand but I dont know that there is any other way this hand could have went. With the flop the way it is and the preflop action it s obvious we both have big cards unless he raised with 88-77 or 66 and just plain outflopped me. My minraise on the flop is the one thing that pisses me off. In this spot I need to raise a lot larger and force him to a tough decision with QQ. Instead I minraise and off peels a two outer. There are two cards left for him to beat me with in this spot I am an 88% favorite. Unfortunately on this day that 12% underdogg gets lucky.

And the bank roll is? btbtbtbtbbtbtbtbtbtbtbtbtbtbttbt<--Thats a drum roll.

Away from poker I cant complain, everything is going great. School hasnt been to bad but we shall see when the test taking begins. I am starting to enjoy redwine a lot. I got a new credit card with a nice limit that wont earn any interest till 5/8, one year of free spending. I think I am going to use this for all my grocery shopping and monthly bills, no major shopping sprees just yet.

Good day to you all I am out!

I dont care...

what the title is today. Look I missed a day I know but that is because I want to start writing in the day time and update you on the day that has passed. Yesterday was a good day at the tables and would have been huge if it wasnt for three really bad played hands.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1149049 , http://www.pokerhand.org/?1149186 , http://www.pokerhand.org/?1149189 Definately some tough spots and I actually went nuts with the two eights because it was directly after the two kings. The fucked thing is I knew before these hands played out that I was beat and should have folded all 3 of these hands before the flop which would have only cost me like 20 bucks instead of 150. That is how it goes sometimes and all I can do is learn from my mistakes. Hey I still ended ahead for the day about 150 so not bad. As for my goal I set I am trying to remain on pace and am doing a so so job I haved played 5225 hands and won a whopping total of 72 dollars. I am playing 5 tables now because I feel one table on the laptop is doable and whenever one of the tables falls apart as they often do I can always keep four going. I am headed out to lunch now but I will write more later. See yah thanks for reading.

Grinding!

Today was the most hours ever I have played I thin on the net. 8 total. Made -20 but the experience I gained is uncomprable. If a few coin flips go the other way and I make a few better decisions I win but hey that why there is 5 community cards. Had a fellow poker player sweat me(thanks Sirneb) today and it was a huge help. He saw things I am doing that I didnt and I think I found a nice leak in my game that I will be plugging. This alone will turn my loses into wins. Also even though I played forever it didnt even feel like it and isnt that the way it is when you are enjoying what you are doing? It feels good to be young and having fun doing what I want to do. The 4 tables only is a lot easier to handle and is definately going to pay dividends and they will be cumulative, LOL. Little business jargon for my fellow business majors.

So I have been reading this crazy book called The Intention Experiement and it is all about the power of our thought and talks all about healers. What are they called? Remote healers. I dont know. They basically pray for you to get better. It is nuts and is some real interesting stuff. Just scratching the surface on it so far but it looks to be an intriguing read. I believe the Author also wrote The Field which is the book that movie What the bleep is based on. Some good stuff, when I am done you can read it A-train.

Anyone seen Shooter with Marky Mark? Curious to know how it is. And if you are loooking for some good tunes I just found this new band Lucero. They are old new but they kick ass. It is called Alt Country kinda sounds like Bruce Springsteen John Mellencamp. They have a Myspace page here is a link. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=10598738 That is all.

Revized my strategy.

After taking a nasty lick at the tables today I have decided to go back on what I stated in previous posts and stick to 4 tables only. I was doing decnt with 4 on my small laptop but felt the overlap was hurting me so I purchased my new monitor. Then I felt hey why not play 4 on the monitor and 2 on the laptop. Great right? Wrong! Having to watch to screens and have the mouse jumping all over is no fucking bueno. It isnt the number of tables it is the scfreen space and maneuvering that is affecting me. So for the rest of June I am sticking to 4 tables which will mean I will have to play slightly longer hours to achieve my goal but I dont mind.

Here was one of my favorite hands from today. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1142498 This is one of those spots where it is almost impossible to not get all your chips in the middle, plus this guy was a total maniac so I had no respect for his play. Just sick! This was about how my whole day went.

Another problem I have has been making a bad bluff or rather sticking with bad bluffs. It isnt bad that I bluff but I need to know when to give them up. Anyways after a tough beat or a stupid bluff I lose focus. I dont tilt but I just stop performing at the top of my game. This is something I plan on spotting and either quitting the session completely or taking a small break to regroup.

Oh my real life, almost forgot. Cheated on the drinks today, couldnt help it man pizza and beer and Basketball go so good together. How bout them Cavs. Hope they can take down San Antonio. Spent the second part of today with my lovely girlfriend and quite possibly the raddest kid ever. Life is good. Online school has been pretty cake so far. Just reading and doing homework. The tests and the group projects is where the points are earned. Well till next time I am OUT!

Hello June.

Well I had a full day and tried to clear my head and regroup after the ass kicking I took yesterday. Woke up and did some school work then watched an instructional video on poker trying to regain my confidence. Then it was off to the gym. I had a late jump on the tables today and didnt get rolling till five but they were nice and juicy. Unfortunately I am way behind my goal already and need to catch up fast. I six tabled for 2 hrs and only logged about 700 hands which is nothing. Ended plus 134 so that was nice. Anywas I have a long way to go if I plan on achieving my goal. I believ I can and a key is to keep a level head and always play my A game. No more donking off my chips. I think a key is always trying to figure out what my opponent has and not getting blinded by my holdings. I am way tired sorry this is so bland next time I will try to ad some spice.

Going out with a BANG!

Yup ended the month with a nice negative 232 day. Fucking cards just would not pan out. It is tough sometimes but I still cant get enough played almost 2500 hands today which was awesome. I am playing 6 tables at a time with the new monitor and is working out good. I still have to adjust but I think it will be no time before I start just murdering the tables. Ended the month plus 760 at the tables with an added 200 in Rake back and another 73 coming in bonus that brings me to a little over a grand. Not bad but not great either. Not enough to live on. Well June begins in the morning and I am tired. I will see yall later.
