This can be my blog for a minute.....think I'll just play all night and go to uncle jesses bombed to get a nice fade. Go to math half bombed. Pack and get on the plane bombed. Playing live makes me wanna never play online again. It also makes me never wanna do another speech. Leaving live poker during the week and a good chunk of weekends has been a nice cut outta my salary. Even on this dumb Wednesday it's still profitable as ever. Why's this old fuck trying to bluff me. Why does he think he can try. It's good/bad when a 70 year old grey hairs trying to put moves on you. If he only knew I was breakeven over like the last 75k hands and I'm liable to go crazy with a pair....deifinately not folding it. This dude keeps whining....noone has the heart to say your down cause your bad.....yet I just tell him he's unlucky right now and to maybe change seats. Being down the last week helps me think about how good I have it. I just need to pass school....and between school loans and playing cover my bills everythings legit. First thing after semester is out is paying off loans. I don't like debt like that and have never had it besides a car loan and that's cause I have a problem parting with large amounts of cash at one time. Only reason I took loans in the first place was just in case things went bad during semester. I wasn't sure of how difficult playing and shit would be while in school. Why's this idiot keep trying.....he's trying so hard to get me...to hard....it's obvious....I got this game under control. Just enough booze to get me talkin. Not like I do in speeches cause I don't have nearly the excitement the crowds looking for. This guy keeps making it $10 and 3 people call $10 so I male it $40 and they do a big sigh and fold and say shesh you get aces a lot. And I'm like dude you make it $10 a lot an he's like no kiddin. This hit isn't as hard as i can make it out to be sometimes. A little focus and a little respect for other players and their peabrains maybe I won't do so many dumb things. Back to basics....these fucks are so bad....3 way showdowns on a shit board can't believe it....one day I'll scoop it all....feelin a big rush coming on. A part of me wanted to stay in LV for my break....just to grind live again...one month though....I'll be able to run wild. My summer looks like 3 weeks LV and 1 week WI between weddings and shit. It's pretty nice as long as things don't shit the bed. I like having a break inbeteren the grind and being home in the summer couldn't be any better. Ummm 3betting KK and seeing a K in the door is heavenly an turning a fullhouse and having dude fold to same bet on the flop is gay as aids....2 hands later and being checkraised from 20 to 80 with KK on 665dd and being snap called when you shove uggh.....having the board run out with 2 shit diamonds and looking down at 2 black kings...horrifying....your opponent flipping over 2 black 9s.....priceless. A big lull in typing.....losing a $1k+ pot. Same dude that had 99 I beat. Thought he was spazzing and this time he had a set. Was 3 way all in and I was pretty much drawing to 4 cards....I made a flush but It made him a fullhouse. A 3rd player was all in to but only for $110. I really thought dude was spazzing....9102r and he limped the button. I raised....they called. $100 stackk bet $40 into $80 I made it $110 and dude shoved for $430.

At home now goodnight

CHECK YO SELF!!

Ummm......I've lost like $2k in the last I don't know less than a week. This is my first little hiccup this year and it almost made me swan dive into the Motel 6 parking lot.....close but not quite. Things were going really good that it kind of took me by surprise. All of a sudden nothing worked or was going right. I tried to counter and recounter and triple super recounter and it ultimately left me with less money than I started with. No cause for alarm.....shits normal.....And $500 was live so that is what it is.....just another day at the office. I think the live part kind of bothered me since it was the first negative weekend I've had this year so far as far as playing live goes. I think I just got bothered that I had to stay in and study for school. I've only played like 2x hours live a month since school started and that's barely a good weekend full of hours. Along with that....I think I've been stubborn playing online....I was crushing RUSH Poker and it was evident that the game changed as it's been out 2 months now and everyone's adjusted. It's not the ATM it was....and I tried forcing it to be. 100NL and 50NL players aren't the brightest and sometimes I found myself losing discipline and spite calling $10, $15, $25 whatever cause it isn't a lot of money...and in order to win that money....I gotta pay to play....that's not really how I got to this point though and it ultimately showed throughout the weekend that I wasn't going about things right. And when it came to regulars I tried being over aggressive which led to me shipping in hundreds left and right when I had literally had no chance. Every so often I have this brief blackout in poker and reassessing like so helps a lot. I gotta grind online the rest of the month and hopefully make enough to cover the bills.....as during school goal is just to cover the bills....and so far I've had a nice chunk of profit over that each month, so don't want to end that streak now. Basically I plan to return to basics for a bit and reup on discipline because I've literally blown online computer money for the last 2 weeks in meaningless spots and did it even when I knew the outcome wasn't going to be positive for me. I'm looking forward to playing live all summer as grinding online is becoming a fucking grind again. I also found myself spacing out playing live this weekend and I really want to figure out where I'm at after paying taxes and shit and possibly just make myself to playing higher......I really think I just need to put myself in an unfamiliar and maybe uncomfortable spot to regain some focus.....and also load up on hundos for the summer while schools out.

Speeches.......fuck'em.......one more left......on a charity. I picked Children's Miracle Network....I figured I could slap some Childrens Hospital/Spinabifida/half foot and get some sympathy claps. I'm not sure how this past online poker speech went. I had to memorize parts of it cause max 2 page speaking outline wasn't going to cut it. This made me spend more time trying to remember and speechify my thoughts since it wasn't on paper and I may have taken up to much time. I was about to have a heart attack before the speech too. I have no idea what the dillyo is. I feel pretty good about it before I enter that dam room and then I feel like I'm about to blackout. I just am thinking about remembering shit and the scoring criteria and trying to fill it all out and I guess my voice sucks and I'm not exciting enough. Basically I'd rather lose another $2k this month then give another speech. Pretty sick.

Bout it.......Be in WI Friday.....Don't really have any plans.....Grind online and do some online math homework while on break and just relax and hang out.

YO! YO! YO! YO! YO! YO! YO! YO!

YO!....It's 1030PM and I made enough money for today and I ain't got shit to do for school and I figure it's about due to do a 7 month catch up blog haha. This is going to be the most random collection of shit ever.

First and foremost....A 12 pack of high life doesn't last nearly as long as I wish it would.

Secondly....I haven't had a cigarette in just over 9 months.

Ummm......anyways.......

School......I have 4 classes COM101-Public Speaking, IS101- Word/Excel for Dummies, ECON 102- Microeconomics, and MATH132- Finite Mathematics aka Can't wait till I'm finished. Everything's going pretty good. COM101....is whatever. I don't enjoy public speaking in this format....I never have and probably never will. I've given a speech on Lambeau Field(A), Michael Jordan(B) and soon will be doing one on Legalizing Online Poker and then one on a charity?!?! I believe I will be doing a sympathetic rendition of a story about a unlucky kid w/ a small foot. I will urge the audience to donate to Spinabifida.org. They will cry and I will bow and then go to the bar. I got a C on midterm exam because I got like 15 bubbles wrong I guess. IS101.....just went to class for the first time since first day to take midterm. The whole things done online......It's quite ridiculous. I probably got a C on the midterm because of filling in the wrong bubbles. I'm sitting here and the thing I'm most pissed about today is saying CTRL P selects a paragraph after erasing the bubble for triple clicking first word. I do this shit every day but put it into words and make me think I'll serve up a poopoo platter. ECON102- Meh....professor is hilarious. Older dude....wears goofy sweaters everyday and just does obnoxious stuff during class but it's all good. C on midterm.....dam bubbles. Math.......glad it's the last math I ever have to take. Before school I was admitted for Engineering and let's just say....I'm glad I realized I don't enjoy math the way I always thought I did. I like multipying.....#'s no bigger than 10. I don't like.....whatever the hell I'm doing now. I've gotten ummm.......2 C's on 2 tests. Inclass homework pretty sure i got 100%.....online homework is gaggy.....so gagggy......should probably knock a few out this weekend. Nothing like entering (X)#*S*#@*(CS)8238* and then have it wrong because of one to many symbols and you gotta figure out where it's messed up. Now multiply that by 20 questions along with 8 parts to each one. F THAT! that ain't math......that makes people drink. I said this whole clump of shit w/o taking a breath........

Schools cool though.....I enjoy it. It's not hard to get up and go everyday. I'm glad I started again. It does seem a bit strange when I sit down and think that I'm about to shit myself during a speech when its filled with like 18+ kids. I guess I'm a 26 yo kid......proud of it. I really just want to get into the meaty part of whatever...I got a few more requirements after this semester but may do 1 a semester so I don't lose interest in all of it. Ummm.....not sure what else I have or want to say about school. I just got to figure out how it all works. I sometimes get critical...like when I get these C's......I come home and read the shit....and do whatever. I read/study whatever and go do it. I don't know.....I'd love to get A's....I don't know if I need to memorize more shit. I get a blacked out feeling. I'll read something and go in on the test and just blank. I can envision the page in the book or my notes but can't spit it onto my paper. Maybe my bubblefilling game is off and I'm just warming up....These periods.............if used the right way are called leaders.....tks Word for Dummies. Requirements that I still have to do .......US/Nevada Constitution, Lab Science.....and ummm (-1 COM101 for ummm)...PHIL102 Critical thinking/analyzing or something...Stay in School and Be Cool.....School's delightful....I have no pressure.....no job to run to....don't need to fight for my next meal.....it's all working out the way I had it planned.

Ummm Online Poker....aka "work"....aka......it is what it is. On January 18th I woke up and Full Tilt released Rush Poker. It's like crack. Google Full Tilt and Rush poker if you really care. I can fold and get a new hand every .3 seconds. Up until this....You folded and waited for 8 other people to finish the hand......not no more. I fold an have a new card in a second. and then again and again and again. It's unreal. It's crazy. It's changed everything. And I have profited. Same game.....new strategy. Noone knew what to do the first few days and it was unreal. In the first week I put in 50k hands......that's more than I think I may have ever put in within a month in my life and I did it in a week. Total I've put in 110k hands so far. Huh?!? 50k in one week and only 60k in 2 months since then........well.....between school and not being greedy....yeah. The game changed after the first week. The pro's and fish alike adapted as they always do. Now it's all about doing what I need to do to survive. I put in my 1-3 hours a day and the results are what they are. That first week was like $$$ falling from the sky.....and it's almost the same except now there's a few land mines. I'll post a graph of my results......w/o the #'s......I'm up between $100-$100k.


Live Poker.......with school I've only gone pretty much Thur-Saturday. In the first week or two of school I went and played 5 hours on a Tuesday and lost $500 and realized.....although $500 isn't the end of the world....COM101 sucks the next morning. I made myself quit when I didn't want to.....I was good.....table was good, but I made a point to make school top priority and I didn't want to fuck it up in the first few days so I made myself take the shameless walk home at 2AM so I could sleep and get to class at 2PM. Haven't played during the week since besides online. Games the same....but its different. It's so much slower in the casino and you only get so many chances and it's new for me to be limited by time at the table so I'd rather not even start. Luckily....after putting in so many hands at Rush......I realized my hourly at it and I don't need to rush to the casino at any point. 13 wins 8 losses in the casino so far this year.......Biggest win $825....Biggest loss......$487.........How much am I up?!? ha Stacks $100's is the name of the game.



Sports Betting....I was done betting sports since Gregg left in November and his dumbass made me go like 2-28. Last time I try to entertain that turd. 3 weeks ago my buddy Jason came from Ohio and his $100 parlay inspired me and after a few months off I'm back on it. Think of it as a $5 lottery ticket but 8 teams need to win so I can win. So far......I haven't hit one. Still in profit from 2 12 team parlays that netted $5k back in 2006. It may appear to be bad......but it's not......despite what Betz may try and tell you.......I've lost more than a tree in tickets.


Shoes.......ha.....I'm unsure of why I buy shoes. Some find it really dumb. It's just something I've always liked or had interest in. Gambling/Poker only makes it worse cause I feel I can treat myself to a new pair after a significant score or if their are profits at the end of the month. I kinda kept it in the background.....I always read and kept up to date but wouldn't leap at each new release....lately I've said fuck it and am gonna buy whatever I want as I come across it. A huge score would be sweet so I could just stock up on OG Jordans that I've trashed throughout my childhood. A lot of them are rereleasing this year and the dates are imprinted within my brain.

TShirts..........I hate buying Tshirts......Biggest waste of money......I don't like skulls or stars......I always think this Nike or Jordan shirt is cool for 15 mins....and then I get home and am like what the fuck. I get more pissed off by looking for tshirts then anything......I hate looking at peoples tshirts.....I try to figure out why they chose it and I didn't. Shits dumb. Just bought 4 new white and 2 new black blank t shirts. I thought they were american apparel brand that I got for cheap wholesale last time......but apparently not. This made me upset. Shit came way to big and the neck hole is made for a fuckin moose. Now I sit staring at the dryer trying to shrink the shit so I can wear'em before I bring'em home to dad's to use as oil rags.

A/C........shit's on for the next few months. Electric bill will hit $200 soon enough. Seriously think that shits rigged. No way can one small place like this be charged that much.

Golf......need to do this soon. Betz won't go cause I kill'em......Been working out......got 15 mins on elliptical other day. Fuckin left calf is fucked from it. Ummm....bout it.

Go Bucks.......so pumped......about time we get to the playoffs. Pumped for Brewers to start also.

Music.......ummm I don't know....Wale.....Kid Cudi.....along with everything else

Movies.....seen a lot.....need a new pack of 100 DVD's actually.....Last movie I watched was Michael Moore's Capitalism.......yip.....Not one that I could really use my new surround sound with.

My place....I realized.....I've had my own place since 2004ish......I've yet to have a picture/poster/anything ever on my wall. I'm not sure what this says. Sometimes I look at art or print sites .....and think awww yeah thats the one.......and I don't order it knowing.....why would I put that there or here.

Spending.....In January I spent $2,321.....Feb...$3,101.........?!?! I've made profit each month after spending and bills so that's good at least!?!

Running out of info..............Ummmm

Sooo

I suppose this is my obligatory clean slate post for September. I haven't played yet since getting back into LV besides one small 5 hour session where I made $50. I fly back to WI September 30th for my cousins wedding. Last month was probably my best month in almost 3 years when it comes to just poker profits. I put in just around 150 hours in the casino which is a lot since I didn't put that much time in combined the 3 previous months. I'm withdrawing most of my money from the internet as I'd like to concentrate on live play for the rest of the year and only keep enough to play whenever I find myself doing nothing while being at home. Ummm....I'm not sure I really have much to say. I want to put in at least 150 hours by time I fly back which I think is a little low as long as I don't get sick or go out to much and continue to get my ass up and go play. I also intend on moving up and playing 2/5 consistently once I get my roll to $X haha. I got a little work to do but it'll be a fun challenge to get there and start playing the game I used to always play. I'm not sure there's much else to say.....

Friday......I went to Ditch Fridays at the Palms. Brian found a radio station that gets you in free and gets you a wristband for 4 free Miller Lites. It was a good time and we realized we only used his name since it's good for you and a guest and I went back out and cut off my wristbands and reentered with my name to get another wristband for 4 more Miller Lites. It was pretty hard to scam the free beer from other people but we found 2 older ladies that helped us out a bit. We are planning on going to the same type of deal at the M Casino on Monday.

Friday night I met up with Jim to go out for a bit. I was only intending on having a beer or two since I realized once I left the house how tired and beat up I was from being at the pool all day. Good intentions gone bad......We went to Rain for a bit and then headed to the Playboy Club/Moon. At some point in the night our friend Bruce introduced us to his boss who owns a hot sauce company that Bruce is selling at a kiosk in some of the casinos. Later on I noticed him walking back to his table with a briefcase type of thing and I was thinking wow what a weirdo. I had no idea what it was or anything but I thought he was crazy for bringing it into a club no matter what it was. A bit later I noticed it was sitting at his table he had reserved for the night by itself and said something to Jim. Jim talked to security and next thing you know Jim and I are returning it to the guy we just met cause we're pretty nice people. On the way up Jim and I were trying to figure out what's in it and we both figured we shouldn't look. Well we found the guy and it looked like he was going to have a heart attack and was like hugging us and shit. He instantly handed us a cigar and asked the bartender for a bottle of champagne. He introduced us to the owner of the Station casinos who I guess is a hot sauce partner and it went on from there. He said we have no idea what was in the dam thing but by this time I think I did. I figured it was either a lot of money or the solution to cancer and aids or maybe even SARS. He left like 10 mins later and Jim and I were left to polish off a bottle of champagne the guy just spent $650 on when it was closing time. All in all it was a good night although a bit crazy coming across a briefcase full of money. I should get up and do something.....maybe go get my car from Friday night yet.

Wiiii

One caramel frappucino at the airport....

Frozen Funds whatever yada dada

I wish to receive no more questions about the issue. You can google and watch the news until your hearts content. Sure this isn't the best news but it's not like it's the end of the world because shit happens all the time that puts a hiccup in the way we get our money.

Here's the big website that can prolly answer every question about online poker.
