Good night, ready 4 Tunica...

Well, last night was a good night for me...I played online and live...I also drank some good ole cheap whiskey which I love, and it usually makes me play worse, but didn't effect me too much last night as I didn't have enuf.

I only played online last night for about 45 min. but finished up about 34bb....I'll take a short positive "hit n'run" session any day...I 2-tabled $3/$6 for about 10 min and lost on two suckouts immediately and got pissed and dropped down to a $2/$4 table and got it back plus a little...

Then I went over to my boy Belew's house and played a cash game for about 4 hours or so....A very juicy table to say the least...a lot of people I didnt know and some "dead money" players that wanted to call everything with dreams of catching 2-outters on the river....SO, it was a nice session for me. I booked a 123bb win in all...Alot of which is owed to me today, b/c people went broke and had to put markers in...but...money all the same....

I am so ready to get out of here and get down to Tunica tomm, it will be packed, but still fun...Probably some very soft tables b/c of how much liquor will be flowing, but I might end up one of those suckers, b/c I am getting hammered all weekend long....Best thing is that I had a good week so I have a little extra padding on my bankroll.....Im out...Late

PLO and LHE

Last night was uneventful in a positive way, no bad beats, and no big wins, just grinded my way in the plus....I 2-tabled $2/4 and $3/6 Short-handed LHEfor about two hours and finished up about $115, so a good night in that I won some money, but nothing spectactular to report. I did have one hand at a $2/4 table that I flopped the Nut full house and got capped bets all the way to the river from two players and won a big pot, besides that, just normal cards.

I did cash in a MTT the other night on Stars. It was a $3 +.30 buy-in with that new Top 20% payout structure that they have which sucks for low buy-in tourneys...I came in 320th out of 1572. SO pretty much I played for 2 hours and won $1.43...Great job sir! Stars does have double FPPs thru the end of the year which is nice, so I have racked up some pretty decent FPPs and will continue to until Dec. 31st at midnight...

Looking foward to this weekend, as I am going to Tunica with a group of people. My wife is also going which most would see as bad, but I am looking foward to it b/c she has never been in a casino in her life. I think she will love it. My little Vegas....Never been to Tunica on New Years Eve, but heard its a big party and plan on trying to stick to the poker tables instead of playing the other games where the house will rape you every time. Will report back tomm. about tonights play, and then not until Tues. Late...

Bout damn time...

Wut up to everyone...nothing overly exciting, but I haven't been making any money online or in our home games at all in about 3 weeks, I finally did last night though...Played a 5-man $.50/1 Mixed game(PLO, NLHE, Pineapple, Stud) last night for about 4 hours and I finished up about 125bb, which is damn good...I pretty much dominated, or actually I just couldn't lose...One interesting hand, when I got to see the flop in HE for cheap with 10,4o.....Flops comes 9 10 4 ....I check get some action and smooth call....turn is a blank and dude goes all-in and I call, i have 2-pair, he has OE nut str8 draw.....River is a 10 for the boat, nice pot sir....Anwyayz, its Xmas time so, unless I make a big MTT finish online this weekend, I won;t update until like next Tues. or Wed.....Late

Why even post...

I don't even know why I am going to write a post right now, other than the fact that I should keep my millions of readers up to date...lol....anywayz....I haven't been playing much poker lately, I think because of the holidays and since I cashed out last, have not had a bankroll to play with...

My home game is either getting harder or I am gettin screwed horribly, I think it is a combination of both, but more the latter....Some of my friends that are regulars in the game who used to just be easy money and came only to donate to the pot and get hammered are actually learning the game a little bit...and the fact that we play together so much, we who think we are better and are accomplished players are going to have to switch up ours stlyes because I am tired of losing on bad plays/calls....No longer can you bet big and take the pot down, maybe with an all-in preflop raise(but prob still not then), you are going to get chased down almost every time, or so it seems....anywayz, enough crying, i just have been suckin lately, Live and online....definately havent played much online, because the little I have won in our games i have spent on Xmas and haven't invested it to try and make more, but I did play this weekend, and turned $25 into $78 in one night, until I lost all of it in about 15 minutes in a drunken rage Sat. night, which was stupid and makes me mad...So the bankroll is back to zero now and I prob won't have any more in there for awhile, so just wanted to up date you on things..Late....

F*** the River!

Well, not to much to report about, just a little steaming...We played a last minute home game last night, and it seems all I can do anymore in my home games is get raped! I played played okay last night, but didn't really catch any cards....


My disaster hand was in playing PL Omaha( we were playing dealer's choice, with 4 games)...I had 9c7c9dQh and my oppenent had AAxx with a couple of hearts...Flop came 6 8 x with two hearts, I have open ended draw with an over pair, and he has nut flush draw with best pair....After some he threw a decent bet and I smooth called, the Turn comes a 10c....my money card, but a blank to him...he shoots out like $5 I think into about a $15 or $20 pot..I consider smooth calling, hoping to draw more money out of hinm, but its Omaha, and decide to come back over the top for another $13 I think to eliminate a call with a draw...he thinks...and thinks...almost folds, and then calls with his AA and his nut flush draw....Of course, he rivers a fucking 2 of hearts and I lose all my money to what I considered to be a bad call, but he had a pretty big stack already, so maybe not too bad...But I just hate the damn river, unless of course I am on the good end, which seems very rare....

I also played in a $11+1 45-player SNG on stars, which for the money and time commitment has a pretty good pay-out....I played excellent the majority of the time and the of course bubbled in 10th place....Im out Late

No Poker

Just figured I would make a post seeing that it has been a long time since I have done so....I have had nothing to post about....Very little poker seeing that I cashed out my bankroll to pay bills and haven't put any more in...Also have finals coming up for school, so I have actually had a lot of work to do at night and some studying( I know, not my forte)....but anywayz, just tryin to get ready for Christmas and everything that goes with that...

Very, very excited about January...Mainly because Tunica will be the place to be for poker the whole entire month, and I need to start grinding out some sort of bankroll so that I have cash to play with.....also, Oaklawn opens somtime in January, which happens to be the only LEGAL gambling venue in the state of Arkansas...so lookin foward to whats coming, I like Christmas and January is going to be awesome....Updates will come...Late
