It's about time

Well finally last night i won a $16DS on stars for a seat to the $650 dollar WSOP qualifier on sunday but just simply unregister and take the $650 bucks and call it a day. It's amazing how well i can play when my hands hold like they should. Someone is blowing Lee Jones for me....im not quite sure who it is but good god thank you.

So then today im trying to waste some time before i head out to muskegon to see the beloved girlfriend that i havent seen in a week. I decide what the hell ill play another one see if i can go back to back championships. Well if hell hasnt frozen over im not sure what has happened because i blew through my first table in 8 min....yes you read that right 8 min. i beat out 4 players. Then i get to the FT and am pretty shortstacked the whole way through. I finally make a stand with 67 offsuit on a board of 68K all diamonds. Im thinking well if my pair isnt good enough im sure my flush draw is. And wouldnt you know it i was right and Lee let it hold one time for me and i doubled up. One guy gets taken out when he tries to make a move on my top pair and i call him out and it holds. So down to heads up were about even he might have 1K more than me. 3 hands in I flop two pair and i bet it out only to get raised. So what the hell i reraise and he pushes all in. Instantly calling knowing i have the best hand and his top pair is no good for me to take a 13K to 1K chip lead. He keeps pushing all in every hand til i finally catch AQ suited and just limp in when he comes over the top. INSTA-CALL his Q 10 never improves and i take home another $650 bucks.

God it feels good. Now it's time to look at the options for the WSOP. This is the first step and im sure it'll end with me being in Vegas...no matter how you look at it.

Thursday Night at the Tables

Well i got home from work about 4:00 or so and went straight to my computer. I havent even changed out of my work clothes yet and it's about 12:30 or so. Tonight has been a very shitty night for poker. I start off getting destroyed at the .50/1 NL tables but i finally work my way back up 3 hours later to break 20 bucks ahead. Then i decide well it's a nice night for the $5rebuy tourney. So off the bat im in for 30 bucks because of idiots. But then after the break i explode and end up being chip leader with 30 people left. But then my 10 10 loses to QQ and i get bumped back down a little bit. Then surprise i run card dead until i get to the final table. And then i run card dead some more and end up coming in 7th out of the original 97 for $74. Not bad but not the outcome i wanted again.

So while im playin the $5r i decide hell i might as well play the $10r because i did so well in the other one. Well im in for the minimum...wow Mike would be proud and end up in the top 20 or so the whole tourney. And guess what card dead again and with 15 left im struggling to survive to make the FT since it only pays out 9 places. Then my 69 hits a full house for me( i had no choice in the matter i was all in on the blind) and im back in the running again. 2 hands later what do come across but QQ and i raise and everyone folds. The very next hand i get QQ again in the BB only we got a raiser on the button...he raises to 7200 and i push over the top knowing he's on a steal but he'll prolly call anyways and he does and this is what i come across

And i come in 12th place for no money. Good game me again.

Ok i understand bad beats yes they happen. But when the site consistently fucks you over like it does to me this is how the night turns into.

I sit down at the .50/1 NL game again because im not tired and have no life since my girlfriend has left me and this is what i get.

Hand #1

Hand #2
i win a small pot of about 8 bucks or so

Hand #3

Now like i was saying bad beats do happen but what the fuck come on now. This is starting to get a little ridiculous. The only thing i can do is just bend over and take it like a prison bitch. I do have one explanation with this though and why horrid beats always happen to me. I RARELY put my money or tournament life on the line with the worst hand. Now dont get me wrong im not the best poker player in the world or anything but im decent. But that is the only thing i can possibly think of to explain AP bending me over like a prison slut. So lets see if i can win back the $70 i lost already or win the $10 tourney im in right now...but that's not looking so hot.


woot as im writing this i won 30 back on a halfway suckout.

but see the difference is that i had top pair plus the flush draw. I thought i was probably beat but the flush draw made it worth the call because even if i was beat i had a lot of outs and plus it was only 11 bucks i was pretty much pot committed.

Well enough with my rants for now. If you got any advice please feel free to leave it.

Oh yeah quick last one. this was in the $10 tourney just now.

Do i really want to quit everything and play poker for a living ? Im starting to have second thoughts.

How can this happen again ?

Ok just finished up another 3rd place finish for the WSOP qualifiers. This one was on Absolute for event #17 which is a $1000 buy in event. The tourney started off with 68 players in it with the $50 dollar buy in...so top 2 win seats to the event. And yes i come in 3rd to win $160 because some idiot hits a 4 outer after 4 outer to stay alive. Mark this outcome as the fucking 7th time now that i have come one person away from winning a seat at the WSOP this year so far and a broken mouse on top of that. I dont know how much more i can take of this with having to sit at home and watch it on tv again this year.

Fuck 4 outers and kick me in the balls please.

Cinco De Mayo

Well i got back from Muskegon a little early today from dropping my girlfriend off and decided to make it a poker night to take my mind off my real life for a little bit.

Sat down and started playing a little .50/1 NL ring game on Absolute Poker. I grainded it out for about 3 hours and was still about even for the time being after some ups and downs. K high flushes losing to A high flushes on the flop and so on. Then i was just so lucky as to get KK and get all my money in preflop...and like usual i was up against AA. But the AP gods were sent down and let me catch a K on the flop and snap those Aces up that guy's ass for once. After that i decided it was prolly a good idea to stop and left ahead +$73 bucks.

Next was the $5 rebuy on AP and after a few beats i was in for $25 total sitting with 9K after the break and addon period. I doubled up when i hit a boat against a guy's nut flush that we both hit on the river and jumped into the top 10 with 90 players left from the original 138 that started. I ended up running card dead to hell with about 18 left in the tourney and got really short stacked. I limped into the final table and was in last place. My A 6 of diamonds against A 5 os doubles me up to about 45K but still short stacked. I pushed on the button with A 9 suited and the big blind picks up A 10 suited and calls me and i get knocked out in 9th place for a whopping +$43 profit. But hell ill take $5 bucks from anything that's poker related.

Right now im running in 3rd in the 4K guaranteed on AP with 30 players left out of the original 218 we started with. I got a big stack going early and jumped up to 10K but then donked some of it away with AK vs. JJ and lost that race. Then went card dead again until about 10 hands ago. Picked up AQ and decided to make a move at a guy i put on AK with a 33576 board with 3 clubs on the board. I called an 1800 bet on the turn just to take the pot away if a 3rd club hit and it did so i pushed and he folded just like i thought he would. Then i picked up AA and doubled up against AK on a K high flop and now im just leaning on the table and pickin up the blinds because it's the bubble time and nobody wants to go out on the bubble. :) Ill give you an update tomorrow on how this one turned out.

But for now goodnight and until next time....Fuck action flops and fuck lee jones.
