Monster lay down and cashing lots

I will start this week with the last game I played.This is bar none the best value on poker.com.The 10$ grand final garantee with 1 rebuy.It was only 10 people so I thought why not play.I took it down with no re buys.1 hand was a monster lay down hence the name of this entry.We are down to the last 3 people including me.I have about 5k in chips,I get dealt AK off in BB. I limp as in everyone else.Flop comes K d Js 5d.First position fires out 400, normaly this is a instant call.I take a few seconds to think.I decided to muck my top pair w kicker.The button bumps the 400 to 800 which gets called.Turn is 7 d.SB pushes and is instanly called,SB shows Jh Ks BB shows Ad 6d.The river was a rag and the sb was booted to leave me HU.I have been really good a reading my opponents this week[I know its online and sounds pretty gay] its been working do far.The guy I was HU with was 2x my 1 in chips.I easily smoked him.He was hyper aggresive,I took pot after pot from him.So now I have a chance to go to the Aussie Millions for 10$.Right now I am in the aussie freeroll qualifier and I am chip leader with 17k.Now I might have 3 ways in to OZ.I can get in by the blogger tour,the grand final I just won and this stupid tourney I am chip leader in now.
I have been cashing all week.I finshed 42nd in the 50k got 250$ for that,not too bad for free TY poker.com.I got 5th in 2k for 200$,2nd in 5$ for 80$.And I got a shit load of cash from the ring games.I have made about 1k this week in all online.
The bloger started this week.I didnt fair to well.I finshed in the 40s with 70+ in it.I hope this week to get to the FT this week to improve my points.Pretty sweet final set up with everyone getting something nice.
One last bit of info,perhaps the most important.LOL.I am gonna have a boy!I am super pumped about it.I have big plans for him on the table.Poker has lost its taboo and I plan to Tiger Woods my kid on poker.Good luck and c u at the tables

Live Poker,NFL and school shootings

I decided to take a week off online play and play strickly live.I played 2 tourneys this week.No cashes finshed about half way both times.I really got to step my agression up.It also helps if I get cards.I lost about half my stack on flush draws last night.I had no choice but to call big raises on flops when I am drawing the nut flush.I folded 10 10 to a 1500$ raise with the board 7 J 8 Q J .He flashed A high as he raked in the pot.I went all in with QA suited and got called by KA of hearts.No luck for me when he turned a K.
At least I have been making $$ on NFL.I am so happy the season is back.The year went by pretty fast. I played the 5$ pick 15.I lost only on the jets and cowboys.If they woulda come through woulda got 12k instead I got 10$. I made a killing on Monday night with the chargers.I have buddies who like to make retarted bets[taking raiders,LOL].Week2 has some nice games to make some more $$.
Some crazy shit was poping off here yesterday.A crazy guy went on a rampage at 1 of our schools here.2 people are dead[included is the killer] and 19 hurt,pretty sad times.RIP goes out to the families.Pretty crazy times now a days.

Live Poker

Last night I hit my poker club for a little live action.I showed up expecting a 25$ re buy,but it turned out to be a 60$ freeze.I was more than happy with no rebuys.There was 64 players in all top 5 get paid 1500+ for first.I drew a pretty sweet opening table.Had a all in freak , a 2nd timer and the old man type.We started with 5500 and 100 200 30 min levels.2nd hand in I get dealt 10 k of diamonds,and I flat call.5 players in the pot, flop comes Jd As 5s.1st player bets out 800 2nd calls then its on me.I am thinking to my self ''no way can I call''I muck with 5 seconds of thought.1 other play calls so there is 3400 in the pot.Turn in Qd.Ouch,My gin card.Up and down str8 and royal flush draw with the nuts.800 is bet again and called by 1 person.Turn was a 8.Another bet of 800 is called.They turn over J 8 vs Q 6.The guy took a monster with 2 pair.I was pretty pissed about that fold.Then I over played KA and lost about 2400.I got dealt big slick again a few hands later and push.I get 1 caller with 10 6 of spades.He flops a flush draw,the turn hit my K and river was rag.I doubled up to a little more than 6k.I changed tables after that and had a bunch of rounder wanna be's.I said ''nice call'' to a guy with 8 3 vs QQ who hit 2 pair and eliminated a player.The 2 guys start tearing in to me saying''how could that be a good call????.I love getting people pissed off and gunning for me.A few hands later I smooth call with Q 2 suited.The flop was Q 4 9 with no hearts.I checked it and the player beside me bets out 1200.Its folded down to me and I say''I hate mucking top pair''.I fold my cards face up to prove my statement.Ohhs and ahhhhs around the table.The raiser turns over Q 4 and said good lay.Right then I knew I was dealing with more donks.Any body who plays poker with any intellegence knows to muck top pair with a 2.Then my downfall came.I get J A and limp in[my mistake,and the reason I lost].I ended up losing to Q 7,when he hit trip 7's.I got up right away and got out of there quick.I hate making mistakes like that.At least I know where the hole was in my game.I can not be making those same mistakes in Niagra.I want to hit the tourney again tonight.Dont know if the girlfriend will like it.
I will be playing the bday tourney for kelly[leafy68].Its a 2$ with 50$ added.I like these games we will be starting with 5k in chips.And its a private game with all friends.Well wish me luck and see ya at the tables
