Wow......

I am playing the 5$ short first hand I get dealt 7 5 offsuit.I call the min 15$. Flop J 77.I check as does everyone else.The turn was a 5.I bet out 120 , get raised 240.I push,he calls and flips over JJ.Ouch,the river is a 5 and no help.Thats been the 1st time this year I went out on first hand.Pretty sitty feeling.Man I hate coolers.
Sit n go's are the same today.I can't seem to place 1st.Its always 2nd or 3rd[mostly 3rd today]
Yesterday I made the FT a few times in MTT's.Nothing crazy just lil cash.The new freerolls come in to play at poker.com tommorow.I hope to clear at least 400 comps a day.Looks like a lot of ring action for me.The MT fuji table is a joke.The guys are calling stations there.I was upto 35$ off of 5$ in a few hands.Oh let me not forget about the 4k yesterday.I lasted 5 hands.I get 44 call the blind with 4 callers.Flop was 4 7 10.I am loving it.I check and player bumps it to 80 everyone calls as do I.The turn was a 5 .I check it to player he bets 300,everyone folds to me I call.River is a king and I check again.Player raises 500$,I push.He calls instantly and flips KK. I feel like no matter what I did I coundt get away from losing.I admit I shoulda just called his raise but no way I had him on kings.If he pushed at any point I would gone in right away.So I was out of the last 4k.I am going to try 2 more SNG's if I dont hit $ I am going to take a 1 day break.I got to get my mind right.See ya at the tables.

poker crack

I have been playing lots l8ly. Been doing ok but just basically hovering, nothing more then 10 or 20$ positive a day.I am playing the morning schedule at poker.com.5$ short and 5$,3$ freeze mostly.Then 5$ sng's I wish they brought back the 5$ omaha. I tried out the 1k re for the first time in awhile. Did pretty good for no re buys finshed 10th.I got the boot with the snowmen vs JA. It looked good on flop and turn but the river brought A,that was it. I made 23$.lol.
They anounced the new freerolls at poker.com.They look pretty sweet!They are bring back daily freerolls 1k mon to fri.Sat is 2k and sunday is 10k.And the fatty 50k last sunady of month.The first one is on my b-day. That would be sweet to pocket a nice 10k with some cake. I will be playing in one of the last 4k's tonight, would be nice to score the trophy. I remember I was 2nd with 38 people left outta 800+ in the 500 freeroll.This is in late Nov 2005And it shut down because of their servers.I was so pissed and I didnt even get any $$ at first.Then after I got issued a 100k entry and 40$. It was ok but I wanted another accolade.So hopefully history repeats[with no server issues,lol] and I am 2nd in chips with 38 people.See ya at the tables.

Looking good

I have been in the same slump as my last post until today.I took the 9 30 5$ at poker.com.It was only a 89$ cash but it felt good to win again.Yesterday I was pretty close to cashing in the 5$ short.I was doing pretty good with about 3500$ in chips,then I was disconected.I was livid.I was able to log back in but I couldnt get off sit out.I had to close and re open for it to work.By then I was at 685$.I finshed 17th because of my stupid wireless connetion.
I am in the final preperation's to get in the WPT. It looks like I will be down in Niagra at the end os Sept.I am looking forward to try to get in the event.I will be playing as many live games as possible from here on out.So wish me luck and maybe you'll see my ass on TV.lol.See ya at the tables

So close...

Lately I am always finishing on or close to the bubble. I dunno whats going on but It's getting depressing. Today I got reamed in the 5$ short, pillaged in the 3$ and sodomized in the 5$.LOL.Thats how it felt.I didnt even want to play the last one, the 9 30 am 5$ nl. I tried to get out but the clock hit 25 just as I deregisterd, so I was stuck in it. I was getting rags for half of my stack was at 490$ then this happend. I get pocket 7's ,I push right away. Get 4 callers . The flop was 7 7 10. I was up to 3k. I kept on getting big aces and was up to 5k before I knew it. I hit nothing for the rest of the game. Finshed a big 12th.
I started playing ring games again. I cant believe what people bet with. I had this guy push me in 10$ with nothing. I had k9 with the board K 9 5 2. I think for a sec then call him. He turns over J 7, I tagged dude pretty fast before he left.It has been pretty easy to sit in with 5$ and eave with 30$ plus a cht load of comps. I also got coupons for the 20k and the two 4k's.Its been a long time since I got in the 20k, should be fun. I heard that they will be changing the freerolls next month at poker.com ,hope they bring back the dailys.
I am about to play Skinski charity tourney.He was my team mate back in the probable days.Looking forward to playing some quality poker[I hope] and giving a lil piece to charity.I will be trying to cash at the 5$ short tonight too.I got 2go get some food in belly,then some weed in my lungs,then beer to liver,repeat weed.You get the picture.So If I am shitting on people tonight after 9 pm you know why.See ya at the tables

More suck outs than a whore house

\ts crazy how fast the weather changes.Its was in the 40s last week now it's barely 20.Still a perfect time for a beer.I have been playing a few cheap MTTs at poker.com.First was 1$ turbo with 198 in it.I played ok in it and finshed 22 just outa the $$.The next one was the 2$ re.Started out ok then built up to a nice stack by the time I got the final table.The top 5 was in the $. I had it in with the best all 3 times,and all 3 were runner runner beats. My AK vs A4 sucked out to runner wheel. My set sucked out to broadway.And the worst was when I was heads up.I get pocket 8s I dont think twice about pushing with the snowmen.I get my chips in and get a call.He turns over 8 8. I am thinking to my self LOL but I am seriously worried. I was right to be worried.He pulled out a heart flush. I couldnt believe how bad the night was in regards of beats.I am glad I am not the type to go on a rant how its ''fixed''. I still made 44$ off 2$ , had some fun trapping and watching lil skin avoid death a few times.
If you guys are in canada you guys have till 9pm Saturday to hit the 6/49. 42 OOO OOO never hurt anyone.See ya at the tables.

Beef in the poker world

I just burnt my arm on my oven taking out chicken wings. It hurts like a mofo. I am playing a 5$ sit n go right now waiting for the 5 $ short handed to start.The 5$ short at 18 30 is getting quite popular lately 100+ enterants tonight.I had 3 sets in a row in the first 3 hands in the SNG.1st one I had 9 7 vs k9 lost 240 on that hand.The 2nd set got a lil action and made my 240 back,3rd set no action.I am at 1035 on level 4.I just got the boot with 10 3.The flop was 10 9 2.I pushed he called with J K the turn was Q and I am out.If you dont check out full contact poker I suggest you make it a favourite.Its Dan Negraneau's web site he has the best blog/vlog on the web.To make a long story short,Greg Raymer was doing WSOP commenatry and Dan just got the boot and Raymer said good he thinks kid poker is ''ether stupid or a WPT puppet''.The reason behind the comments were Negraneau's feelings about the lawsuit against the WPT.He has been speaking out against the 7 pros that brought the lawsuit to court.He is concernd as I am too about the negative press against poker.Read up about it you will be suprised with how stupid the lawsuit is.I am going to roll a joint now and finsh up the MTT 5$ short.I am at 1250$ in level 6 in 39th position with 60 left.Wish me luck

WPT and online poker

I am trying to find some decent satallites in to the WPT in October.Its the first time the WPT is comming to Canada.Also the first time I can play a major with out worring about the US customs.Its going to be sweet.I am thinking my best bet is at Casino niagra.They have a few steps going from what I hear.All single tables too.I am going to try get out to Niagra for a 24 hour session in the next couple weeks.I have been looking for some online qualifiers but no luck.I wish poker.com was running them.With they're 10$ grand final tourneys,it would be pretty easy to earn a ticket for under 50$ to the grand final.I am going to play some online poker today.I will play some at poker.com and mansion.com.I will be back with a update later.See ya at the tables.

What a night

Wow is all I can say about yesterday. It started out pretty good as I was chip leader to start.Then this hand came in BB, K 5 offsuit.Pre flop it was raised up by 5,I called and so did 2 others.Flop was 7 10 k.The player utg checks.I bet out 4,the dealer pushes and so does the utg.I think for a second and think I have to be beat and muck.The dealer turns over 9 9 and the utg turns QQ ouch.Q's held up for the pot.I woulda won it there with a call, but tight old me.lol.I start out losing 2 games in a row, but manage a win on the 3rd game to even out my losses.Then we decided to up the stakes and thats when I started to shine. I won every hand!! I have never done a feat like that before,it was beautiful. Then I took the last 2 games of the night to be up about 120$. Then the trouble began.I made a bathroom stop before I was going to leave and started to hear a commotion. Came out of to see my lift storm out of the house. I said my good byes ,then I heard tires peeling.My buddy was pulling a smoke show and yelling at the host.I jumped in the truck and he just let the hemi go.We are about half way down the street when I realize I left my cell.So we make are way back and get my phone.The host was yelling at the driver''your f__king dead'' Next thing you know buddy is out of the car for a showdown.The thing is the host is wheelchair bound. So my buddy ran up to the host and spat out the nastiest mound of flem in to the face of the host. All I can say is what a night. Looks like I wont be heading back to the honey spot any more.

Why not start a blog

Hi guys or who ever is reading this.Its pretty god damm hot today.So its perfect for a little poker , beer and some chronic.I play a live home game about 3x or more a week.Never more than 5 people playing.Its a pretty loose game that I can cash 75% of the time.We usually play 10$ and 20$ sit n gos.So the most you can loose at any session is about 70$. Online poker has been on the backburner for now. I preffer playing online in the fall and winter months,I hate being couped up in the house while its so nice outside. I will be back with a update of how much money I score in the home game.
Peace the don
