A new way and Live

I have decided to try out something new in Poker.I was playing the 1500 re-buy when I thought of it.I finished 8th and made about the same I would of in a 10$ 6 man SNG.I thought wow that was pretty hard for a min pay out.So I decided to try a week of playing just SNG's to see how I would do.My ROI so far has been 75%.I am pretty happy with my performance and with my bankroll's growth.
I hit my live game last night.I did not fair too good.I played no hands for the first hour,nothing playable.I was going to call on my button with J 4 of spades but decided against it.I would of made a flush,with the loose guys raising it up I would of made a nice amount. Now to the hand of my down fall.I get dealt 44 with the blinds at 100 200 and smooth call with 2 others.The flop comes 2 h 3 s 4 h . I am so so on the flop.1st position makes it 2500.2nd position goes in the tank for 2 min.He shakes his head and mucks his hand.I take 5 seconds to announce raise all in.The guy dose not think about it and counts out his chips and puts them in the middle.I ask him '' do you have the nuts?''He says ''Yes''. I was like 5 6?He said no and turns over As Ah. I like my chances and I don't. He can hit the 5 or the A, so I am looking at 6 outs.The turn brought a 7 of Hearts. ''shit more outs I said''.The river brought the dirty Ace.I got up and said''At least I got it in with the best'' and left. I was not that mad but a little upset.I will be back tomorrow night for my revenge.

FT'ing it up

These past few days have been pretty good poker wise.I won the 5$ the other day,placed 5th in the 10$,placed 8th in the 3k, 8th in the 1k and I just placed 3rd in the 1$ re-buy[no re's or add ons].I am going to try out the 1500 freeze at 22 45 wish me luck.
Only 5 more weeks till the lil guy arrives,time really flies by now a days.We are still not too sure about a name just yet,it's such a hard decision.His room is all done up and looks pretty cool.Well gonna step outside for some ''privacy'' LOL.See ya later

Not looking good for USA players

I got this from card player.Its pretty sad and its going to happen a lot more

Starting March 1, U.S. players at Doyle’s Room will no longer be able to play at the site.

The site announced to its players yesterday that it will no longer allow U.S. players to sign up at the site or existing players to deposit money. On March 1, U.S. players will only have access to the withdraw section of the site.

Players will have the option to transfer their funds and frequent player points over to online rival, Full Tilt Poker.

Doyle’s Room’s officials hope the exodus is temporary. They plan on re-entering the U.S. market after the federal government clarifies it’s stance on the legality of online poker rooms in the U.S, according to a company official who confirmed this story to CardPlayer.com. It will only accept players from the U.S. again if and when the government says that online poker rooms are 100-percent legal.

Representatives of Doyle’s Room have tried to get in contact with someone in the government who could clarify its stance and how the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act affects online poker rooms, but their inquiries have been ignored.

Took a MTT down

Won the 5$ 22 00 at poker.com last might.Made the FT being 3rd in chips.Got 129$ for 1st not the best pay out,but it's still 26x my stake.Sounds a lot better like that.lol.
Going to go play a little live tonight.It should be some fun.Wish me luck

heavyweight side bets,lol

I jacked this from kid pokers blog.He has lost his mind a bit recently its still a good read.
It's true. Erik Seidel recently bet one million dollars that he could gain 150 pounds in precisely one year. Erik is a healthy eater, but that will obviously have to change if he is going to win this bet. Erik is putting up his million up against a few players who put up money on the don't.

I think it's a terrible idea and could be very damaging to Erik's health whether successful or not. In fact, the people making this bet should reconsider going through with it if they consider Erik a friend. That much weight gain in one year could kill him.
This is a crazy bet,but its too easy to do.Its also retarted to do.I bet a mill that he dies in 2 years if he does it.LOL
This rumor is pay per view wet dream[at least to me]
Ivey to Play Tiger for Five million

It looks like Ivey has bitten off more than he can chew in this match. Apparently, there is talk of a match between the "Phil Ivey of Golf" and Ivey himself at Shadow Creek at the end of this month.
Ivey's game has improved dramatically, but that Tiger guy is pretty good at golf. Anyway, here are the particulars:

1. Ivey plays from the Ladies tees, Tiger plays from the tips.
2. They will play dead even, match play.
3. Once on the green, Ivey will get to scramble his putts.
4. Tiger will not be able to use his putter. Instead, he must putt with his driver.

Ivey would obviously have to bring his A game to win this match, and frankly, I don't like his side at all.
Looks like mr hebrew found god LOL

Barry Greenstein is considering becoming a Rabbi

I know, I know, hard to believe right? Barry recently had an out of body experience that made him question everything he's always believed. He is currently in New York City attending religious classes in the hopes of one day becoming a Jewish Rabbi. I'm as shocked as you, I never would have believed it!
I could understand this one.But I know he will be back in a few months or years even better
John Juanda is done with poker

One of the greatest poker players in the world is hanging them up. After a few bad sessions online, Juanda, feeling unfullfilled from the grind that is poker, has decided to give it up completely.

John has already become a restaurant owner in Los Angeles, and may decide to spend more time there. However, more likely than that, John will go back to school to study politics. He wants to make a difference in the world and is extremely interested in politics. He has vowed to skip the WSOP, WPT, and all other events indefinitely.

Valentines day...but no love at tables

I was playing the Valentines day tourney at poker.com yesterday and this happened to me. I get A c Ad in the big blind and one person pushes his stack in the middle.I am loving it,even more when he turns over JA of hearts.Flop brings J K 4 all clubs even better.Turn was a 5 h and the river was the cursed J d.I was sooooooooooooo mad!This is the first time in a while that I tilted out after a bad beat.It's a place I do not want to go back to.So I got the boot at 98 out of 545 with 80 getting paid.I think thats why It hurt so much.If that would of happened early on in the tourney I would of gave two shits about it.Well you live and learn.
I played the first league game yesterday,didnt do to good.I finished in 5th place,not the worst or the best I could of done.I have Friday to make up for it.We were lucky enough to have Natsdad place 3rd.So it could be worse.
Took the old lady to here ultra sound.He is growing good.The nurse said he is a long one.And he was grabbing on to his thing[its already happening]lol
Have a good 1 and see a at the tables

Happy Valentines

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE.HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT ONE WITH THAT SPECIAL OTHER.
I am watching Maury as I type this.lol The show is about secret sex tape videos revealed,what a great day to air it.
I played a few SNG's and MTT's yesterday. I played pretty well and made a few dollars.I was impressed with my play in the 3k. I was last in chips down to 620 with 29 left. Blinds at 150 300 with 25 ante.I managed to more than triple up as the blinds had to call me..hehe.Then I get dealt A9 I muck it too quick,I thought I should of pushed but it was too late.2 guys go all in they turn up A 10 and 88 .Flop hit no one,the turn and river brought 99. A good pre flop fold, but a real bad decision.If I would have played that hand I would have been at 10k and really good position to FT it. I clawed it all the down to the FT bubble.
It snowing like crazy now. It looks like its going to be a white out in a few hours.I got to take the old lady to wal mart before it gets to crazy.
Have a good one
