Yankees are 2 up on Bosox

Thats really the only thing I have to be happy about---too many donks online today. I started the day in 3 tourneys...

1. 75$ Tourney...308 people, I get knocked out in 104th when my A9 drops all in on a guy trying to steal my BB......myabe the guy thought he was live or something, I dunno, but he called with a J9, flop came AJ5, 4, J on the river.....yea, setup bullshit right there

2. 200K GRTD....1228 people...I go out in 424th when again, QT is trying to steal my BB, I have 55. I drop all in....guy thinks hes committed I guess, I don't, flop comes KJ6, so I then and there I was done for....blank of turn and I thought for a second..."maybe he'll miss his 14 outer--then a 9 hits the river for the straight and I'm gone.

3. $30 Double Stack Tourney--1st place--$3800, top 47 make money....I lose several races, SEVERAL during the crucial part of the tourney from 97 players down....I mean damn, if I win a few more then I'm all good.....I got out in 48th out of 341 people cause I slow played....OR cause it was another setup bullshit hand....
I have 19K left, blinds are at 600/1200 with a 50 ante, so I'm ok, but not great....I really wanted to go for the win here too, not just the money spot---but the final table---top 3 won a G minimum. I have AA on the button, guy in 2nd position makes it 4800 to go, he has 21,000 in chips....so I think.."I have position, and if I drop all in, he may not call his entire stack off only being 11 spots from money...so I'll call and he MUST make a continuance bet on the flop or its just bad poker" I thought I'd make more money that way, rather that raising him all in....so I call. Flop is 78T and I fckn knew I was beat....you know what I'm saying....your gut tells you he raised with a small pair and hit a set.....but you can't fold AA. He shoots 5K smooth into the pot....I instantly drop all in and he instantly calls with a set of 8s. UGH, I feel like shit. I mean....does he call if I drop all in preflop....11 spots to go to make money, put your life on the line with 88? I dont think so....and how I looked at it was I needed all his chips or at least as much as I could have got, because like I said....I was going for the final table-- not just money and 37th place. So even if I "double raised" which is gay as hell....he woulda called and still hit a set. If I woulda raised him up a lil more than double, he probably woulda dropped all in with the 8s then.....but I do not see him calling an all in from me there after I re raise him....I dunno, maybe, but I dont think so being 11 spots from money. Oh well.......

Cash games....UGLY....no one probably believes me, but again today....two hands....AA vs QT..I make it $20 to go preflop with AA...QTo, fckn offsuit I say...calls me from the SB...and I was about 3rd position at a 9 person table, so it doesnt look like I'm stealing. Flop comes KJ8...He checks, I bet $30...he calls...8 on turn, makes a flush also.....he leads out into me for $38, so I put him on a flush right there, but had the A of hearts...so I called....9 on river, no heart.....He bets $28 and I just call, and he shows the QT. I mean, just ridiculous...he was out of position, weak cards....led out into me when the flush hit, not with a strong bet either to scare me off---it was only $8 more than my flop bet....I mean....I just wish people wouldn't get so lucky...I dont hit flush draws nor do I hit open end draws.......Another hand...happened just a few hours ago....
I had KK.....this guy limps in....2 other limpers...I make it $22 from the SB....first limper calls $18 more......flop comes 237....two diamonds.....I lead out, $30.....HE CALLS. Q on the turn, no diamond.....I lead out again, $75 dollars cause I think hes on the flush draw.....HE CALLS....A on the river......no diamond.....I know I'm fckd if I don't bet cause he will....so I hope hes on a flush draw, like KQ and hit then Q or maybe 99 or TT and didnt believe me. I bet $100, HE CALLS, turns over A9 no fucking diamond. WTF??? I instantly explode cause I have no patience for stupid shit like that....I dont mind a beat if the odds are good....but this guy is calling $75 on the fucking turn with A high.....his 5 best cards at the turn on the board of 723Q was AQ973.....WTF, this guy is calling $75 with that.....I FCKN RAISED preflop, I had to at least have a pair or fckn A9 beat!!!! I mean, fck, the guy didnt even think.....Would I raise with less than A9 from the SB when 3 fckn people have limped in already??? I think fckn not! What, I'm raising with KQ there or A8? What a fckn donk. Of course he leaves right after that.

Aug 6th...all today, I had a total of 7 sessions....or 7 tables rather....I started with $400 each and started the day with $1628---after the 2 tourney buyins (I won a seat for the 200K) I was down to $1520.....My cash games went good---ended one table up $615...the max buy in on the $2-4NL tables is $400, so I had over $1000 on that table...its always nice when that happens....
But it also went bad today....at one point I lossed the full $400, only the second time thats happened, but that was my fault....I chased after a nut flush draw and had bottom pair when there was $977 in the pot, but I had to call $321....so I did, lol......I couldnt help it....4 people got all in....one flopped the straight, one flopped top two....one only had $90 and dropped in first with mid pair.....thats the fuck that got it all started.....and one had bottom set........so it was kinda fcked up.....and I never hit, top two turned the high boat for a pot over $1300. Oh well.....
In the end, I finished at $1386, down about $134 from my original start of $1520 after the tourneys......remember my two tough beats though---AA to QT and KK to A9.....Just ridiculous. I played with Lee Watkinson today for a couple hours on $2-4NL.....When I see pros not in alot of tables...I harass them andbeg them to come play $2-4NL with me...I know it sounds lame, but Dags and Lee Wat have so far.....There was like 10 pros online at once today, but they wouldnt come.....bastards.......Ivey, Seidel, Juanda, Hanson, Lindgren, Dags, and Farzod Bonyadi were all playing the $50/100 PLO for about 4 Hrs....it was a great table.....I have a pic of me vs Lee Wat, but I dont know how to post it......I'm going for a new goal too.....if I can get 2000 hands a day, I can get about $3024 a month in rakeback...if I can get 1500 hands in a day, I can get $2268/ month and if I can get only 1000 hands a day....easy for me--3 tabling it, shiiittttt....I can get $1512/ month......So Ima try to keep about 1500 hands a day.....that rakeback would be great..especially if I'm winning too....I could play some $5-10 and just be really tight....wait for great hands cause my rake would build up ridiculous....but I think $2-4 is a great place for rake...the blinds wont eat you if you are building your hands but there will be enough money in each pot to make a difference, so its all gravy. Goodnight folks.
