Better Late Then Never.

When I first started writing this blog (which seems like a year ago) I was a losing player for the year of 07. But this is no longer true. Lets look at some of my recent (and no so recent) Poker results.

My first session (sense my last entry) I lost 32. This game I was 150 deep. It's been awhile sense this session so I can't remember how I lost my first buy in. I'm pretty sure I was steaming afterwards though. At this point I should have taken a break maybe shot some darts and then waited to buy back in. I did none of this of course and instantly bought back in. My second buy in lasted I think 3 hands. I had top pair and the nut flush draw when it was obvious that I was against a full house. On the flop, Tim Moved in. Mike moved in over the top. I called (steaming and not thinking correctly). Tim had the full house. Mike had a set. But, I had Tim covered so I was drawing to 9 outs to not go broke. I didn't happen so at that point I was stuck a hundo. I took a break and played some darts for about 10 mins. After I took my short break I bought back in for 50. A few hands in I doubled up with the nut flush (if I remember correctly). This gave some of my confidence back I played tight from that point on won a few pots lost a few pots and in the end only losing -32


I also played 2 tournaments sense my last entry. There really isn't much to mention about either. The first one I lost a coin flip with AK. The second one I was drunk and some how managed to get heads up. In the end though I broke even for my tournament play this month.

My next cash game session was fairly small. It was only 4 or 5 handed. I think it was Ted Me, Thrice, Cody, and Lance. If I remember correctly once thrice sat down ted left. I made a few bad calls against Thrice (who I find very difficult to read) and ended up becoming short stacked. I was on the button with pocket jacks. I made a standard 3x raise. Thrice double raised me I was fairly sure he didn't have an over pair so I moved in. He sat for awhile and called with AK. He spiked his Ace and I was out. I then bought back in. From this point I honestly don't remember what happened. Some how we got heads up and played for like an hour and at the end I lost only -23 dollars

My last session I did really well. I played well and picked up some good cards. I'm not saying I didn't get lucky cause I did. It's pretty easy to look like a genius when You flop the nuts and 2 people move in. (oh how I love floping straights) It seemed like every time a short stack moved in I looked down at a big pair. Let's just say it was a good session. At the end of the session I made +158 of profit.

-23
-32
+158
+3 = My math says I'm at +106

I made about 50 bucks from being the house in blackjack against Jared so I wanted to put some money online. I heard that you could use a gift card on UB. So me and thrice decided to split a 100 dollar card and put it on UB. After we put the money online (which took fucking forever and I had to talk to some guy from India) we forgot that once you start a new account onUB you can't transfer money. So I said hey thrice I'm kind of tired you can play tonight and if you lose your 50 the account will be mine and when I play if I lose my 50 the account will be yours. The next day I get on our UB account and there is only 2 cents in the account. I check myspace I got this wonderful message.

um... I kinda lost all your $ in blackjack.... in like 30 seconds.... um I feel shitty about losing your money so ill give you 70$ and we'll call it straight?

I was so pissed. But he bought me a new 50 dollar card. And gave me like 12 dollars. The only problem is I can't get on my ub account. I don't know wtf the problem is. Hopefully I can get some money online. We havent been playing live enough and I want to play some cards. Also I need to make some money cause I owe some people some money online.

I think this blog is about done. Hopefully I'll start posting on here more. I think my next post is going to be a review of Amarillo Slim's biography. Unless I play some actual poker within the next couple days. Then it will be about that. Well till next time....
