No Poker At All

Well, I figured I would make a poker-free update...I have been busy with a lot of other stuff and have played no poker, at all....which is rare, I usually get in a home game or some FPP tourneys or something, but not for about the last 4-5 days...

It has been a good weekend so far with 2 days still left...Friday night was an interesteing night...Me and some of the guys went down to Riverfest and drank for a bit, then decided it was time to go inside to a bar/club, so we went to OnTheRocks....I met wifey there and we stayed til about 1 and then I was leaving and she was supposed to be going out with some girls...So the night was just another drunken bender, nothing special, but had a horrible ending....

Had a good time yesterday, again drinking, this time for more than 7 hours str8..went out to my buddy Towner's house about noon...He lives out in the country and was prepping to have a grad. party for his younger sister....the food and drink was almost rediculous....Two Kegs, 50 lbs. of crawfish, frid catfish, a WHOLE HOG(complete with the apple in mouth), hot dogs, hamburgers, it was seriously one of the best spreads I have seen to date...So we drank, ate, and played horseshoes all day, went home about 9 i guess, when it was really just gettin crowded, but with a bunch of highs school kids, so i left...watched War of he Worlds(or part of it) and passed out...

Gettin ready to go up to the lake, get out on the boat, maybe ski a little, try to work on a tan of sorts I guess...might go bass fishing first thing tomm morn with my Uncle if he brings his bass boat up there....So , if I get in any poker today or tomm, I will let you know, but prob nothing until Tues. but I will be playing Tues. b/c I have to make sure and solidify my VPP status b4 the end of the month....LATE

Time to do it again....

Lil Update

Not much to talk about, but figured I would post anyways...Haven't played too much lately...I went on that big tear at the end of last week, make a big withdrawal to pay some bills and contribute to my new monitor fund...I should already have the new monitor, but I always "lose" the money I put back in the fund for it..

Oh yeh, I missed the damn PSO $25k freeroll this weekend that I had been pimping, but it had a horrible turnout and only ended being like $600 for 1st outta 120 people, which is still nice cause you didn't risk anything, but you know what I'm saying, I didn't miss out on like 5 or 6k for 1st....but congrats for sure to HighOnPoker who decided to play in it last minute, played the " Its a freeroll, I'm going all-in every hand" strategy and took down second place for $450...

Went to Chuck E Cheeses last night with Wifey and the boy and had some pizza and played some arcades, pretty much let Hunter just run around everywhere and put tokens in machines to stand in front of them for 10 seconds and then run off....good times... I will end with a random picture that I think is hilarious I saw on someone's blog the other day..

Why you don't cheat on your spouse...

This is crazy...check this out...http://www.nbc10.com/news/9236561/detail.html

Back in the Saddle Again...

IM BACK!!!!!.....IM BACK.....IM BACK in the saddle againnn...sorry, got a little too caught up in good song...Well, that sums it up...No, I'm not rich or anything, but I have had a great night, my hourly rate has been awesome, and one that I would love to keep...

I should start this "I'm the shit" speech off with the fact that 3 night ago, my account read $0.07 on Pokerstars, b/c I had recently made a big withdrawal and only had money on two other shit sites that I am doing PSO promotions on...Then my boy SupaStarr sent me $30 only so I could partake in the 5 billionth hand ceremonies...which I have been so gayishly trying( running 7-10 tables of micro limits trying to hit one of the milestone hands). Well, last night I couldn't take it anymore and decided that I needed to play a little bit and brought my balance up by about a bill..Then tonight I just had it, everyone has those nights...I couldnt miss, flopped a set every time I had a PP, made flushes by the river when suited, and had some gorgeous suck outs, bot to mention the people at the limit tables on Stars who just dont mind donating a couple hundred....With that said, I made about $675 in about 3 hours of multi-tabling limit games...mostly $3/$6, but then dove into $5/$10 for a bit more payout for my efforts...

So I guess I'm back in the LIMIT grind, I switch quite often, as you can tell if you have read before, from Limit to NL, and trying to decided which is best for me, and what I'm better at...and I get on those MTT-only binges a lot too...I think I am about equal in all, I do however, think that I am more proficient in Limit than any of my buddies that play religiously, only b/c I have played it more and have adapted a style that seems to work quite nice...WEll, enough of the "I'm the shit" speech, but I do have to share this hand with you...I pretty much play this guy like a lil bitch, he has AA which can be nice, bot when you are up against 4 of a kind...Not sure I see how he keeps capping it, but hey I'll take this big of a pot any day at these limits..

5 Billionth Hand

Thats a lot of hands...damn..I know Stars is one of the main sites and all, and has been running for years, but still, thats a lot..Well, if you can't tell by Nate having made the last 4 posts, I haven't been playing too much lately...Don't have much money and have been very busy with finals for school, but they are over, so maybe I can get some more PT in now...I have only been playing to try and hit one of the 33 Milestone hands as a part of their 5 billionth hand celebration of Stars...Its so crazy...For the first 32, you have to be playing at a real money ring game, and if you hit one of the hands( 4,945,000,000 or 4,950,000,000) then you get $2000 just for being dealt into the hand and $5000 if you win that hand...And the limits of the tables that have hit so far is pretty amazing...the highest of the 6 is $3/$6 Limit, and the most recent was $.05/$.10 NL, imagine...the people at the latter probably have like $25 in their account and just won at least $2k and one of them won $5k...Yeh its a crap shoot, but you ain't goin to get anything if you don't try. But this all leads up to the Grand Finale of hand #5,000,000,000...Just for being at the table that gets dealt this hand you get $10,000 and if you win you get $50,000....Plus everyone receives an entry into the World Championship of Online Poker Main Event worth $2500....I will look at it like this, someone has to win, so every time it gets close to one of these hands I will have 7 or 8 tables if not more open...When I get back to playing more normal, I will update again, I possibly might try to final table the 6.45pm $10 on Stars tonight...Late

WPX

Not too much to report...Hasn't really been a action-packed week so far....VERY slow work wise...I have been playing some poker most every night, mainly tryin to finish my Pokerroom.com promotion through PSO so that I can get another $100 Best Buy gift card, which will sooner or later go towards my new monitor...possiblt this beautiful Ferrari Series Acer 20" LCD...



I read about a new venture I am thinking about diving into on someone's blog this morning...It is call the World Poker Exchange, not its not a poker stock market like some of you already are thinking, its a poker room...The company is famous for its sportsbook, The World Sports Exchange, which I think is pretty big, and they have opened a poker room along with another 2 million companies, to try and profit on the recent upswing of Poker...The reason this sounds so nice, is because it is Rake Free...yeh, I have no idea how they make money, but they rake the tables like normal, and they return 100% back to your account on a weekly basis...This guy's who's blog I read this morning was talkin about gettin $1k to $2k back a week...he was playing 20/40, but still....Why not capatalize on extra money that you are going to spend anyways...
So I will be trying this out soon and will let you know how it goes...

Had a lil home game last night, played drunken 3 and 4 handed which is always fun, and I took most of the money for about $115 profit, and considering how much I had to drink compared to the rest of the guys, was a good feat....Update later, tomm or this weekend sometime...Late

Damn I want a new monitor

Well, I am slowly gettin back on track, at least by my underacheiving standards...I have been running good the last couple of nights, mainly in cash games and SNGs, mostly cash games....I have scored about a $425 profit in the last two nights playing mainly $.50/$1 and $1/$2 NL short-handed games...I played 3 $6.50 SNGs last night at the same time for fun, and b/c they can be dominated if you don't run your Aces into 35o on the 246 flop, b/c some grinder thought he should see a flop with only a 3bb raise....anywayz, I took down first in one, second in the other, and didn't cash in the 3rd b/c my 10s didn't hold against QKs...

Ok, I really really want a new monitor, I have had plenty of opportunities to buy it lately, and just haven't....when I have the money, I don' t get it, and when I decide the time is right, I'm can'
t justify dropping $500 on a new monitor, just so I can 4-table without overlap and not have my eyes bleeding at the end of the night b/c I stared at my 17" e-machine monitor for too long..Anyways, I found a used 20" LCD with 1600x1200 on some site for about $357, anyone who knows anything about monitors, is that worth it....it actually says a "factory refurbished return"...I'm considering that an option, but if I can keep running good for the next week or so, I am going to get it finally, and trust me, you will know...

A couple of questions to anyone out there that nows more than a snake about computers...How can I easily start posting hand histories on here, I know everyone does it, but I want the simple version...lol...Also, how can I get pictures on here, I went to some free pic hosting site, but didn;t ever figure it out...any help is appreciated, just leave answers in the comments section..

I haven't been playing hardly any MTTs lately, just b/c I want to grind my roll where it needs to be, and then get into them heavy again, b/c as you know, the month of March was good to me as far as tourneys go...I will probably hit it pretty hard tonight and tomm, and see if I can't pull off a nice cash or hopefully a win..
