The Bet Continues

Date: Thu, Sep 11, 2008

So I did what I needed to this week. Now I just have to take first next week. I finished up in 6th place. I probably could have gone deeper but I made a move to try and get control of the game. My blinds kept getting raised by Kiev and I finally decided to make a stand. I shoved my J8. I knew he had to call from a pot odd perspective. However I knew he had shit cards. So I raced late to basically get the chip lead for the table. I thought the move through and I went with it. The flop came QT to give me a gutter but I was not able to pull it out. The river gave Kiev a straight. SO I could have folded and maybe moved up maybe not.. but I tried to give myself a shot to take the whole thing down.

I actually did make a few huge laydowns which was good. I also sucked out pretty good with a flush draw and 55 vs JJ. Both were rivered flushes. Next week should be interesting to say the least.

Props to LJ

Date: Wed, Sep 10, 2008

Poker Enthusiast: I could play the mookie tonight
Poker Enthusiast: I could even chip dump:)
Poker Enthusiast: to bayne
SirFWALGMan: lol
SirFWALGMan: dump to LJ
SirFWALGMan: she is prettier

PE with friends like that who needs Chad. Seriously though he has been writing some funny shit. I mean him slam dunk? I met him. No way. Ok maybe when he was young and spry.

Have you been watching any of the ESPN coverage of the WSOP? I watched a little last night. I really liked the interview with Mike "The Mouth" Matusow. He seems to have really made some great changes in his attitude. He went from thinking he was the unluckiest player ever to having more positive vibes. All it got him was a bracelet or something. I am sure he has his slip up moments and the mouth persona will always be lurking but I like the steps he has taken. I think I have make a lot of strides in that direction also. Could a bracelet be in my future? Only time will tell.

Tonight is a must win in my grudge match against LJ. I like giving her a lot of shit like everyone else does but she has the right mentality for MTT play. I have tried to adopt a more aggressive style myself. Sometimes you end up looking stupid or getting trapped but the aggression and chip gathering is what enables you to survive the inevitable lost coin flip. It is necessary. The trick I think is being able to turn it on and off at the right times. Anyway I give mad props to LJ and her success at MTTs. She really is a great player. It is cool to see she likes Sci-Fi too. Your really a nerd at heart right LJ?

I am hoping that I take a top three spot tonight to keep our bet alive for the final week. It will be really tough but I am going to put my best effort into it. Hope to see a lot of you there tonight so we can rack up the prize pool and make things interesting. Good luck.

Home Game

Date: Tue, Sep 9, 2008

Had some fun playing in a home game. This is probably my first home game since I learned to play break even poker. I followed the guidelines of my new book and failed. I actually made a profit. Do not worry though there is a second book in the works. What to do if you make a profit. It should be out about the time pigs fly or hell freezes over. I would assume the second one because the ole Pig-A-Polt is pretty damn close to completion.

The game was pretty fun. I had a good time drinking and playing. I also did the Bloggers proud by winning the first SNG and taking second in the next one. I gave back some of the profits in the next two games and the cash game. It is pretty hard to take a quarters cash game seriously.

I pretty much just played the SNG games as big as possible. If I flopped a good pair or a monster draw I tried to get it all in. Seemed to work pretty well. Of course busting the pregnant wife of the host may not guarantee a return invite. Oh well. Hopefully I will be doing a few more of these. I really like tossing the live chips but Foxwoods is a bit far to go on a regular basis.

Make sure you do not miss the Mookie. I have two shots to dethrone the Queen. At one point I had her down to a fourty buck lead but in true royal fashion she sucked out against aces ninety times and took down a Mookie. Now I have to have a win and a top five finish in the next two games in order to win.

Fun Times

Date: Fri, Sep 5, 2008

I hit up the Riverchasers last night. Went into the final table with a HUGE lead. Pulled a MAJOR bluff on AlCantHang. Laughed for half an hour as he called me a moron. Then I lost two coin flips and made a couple bad calls against Hoyazo and my night was over. Well worth the price of admission.

Played the 3/6 LO8 game with Bayne. Wow is that a fucking fish fest. I lost one buyin to some retard chasing a low and then rebought. Played aggravated poker for a little while. Trippled my buyin. Finally finished up 1/3 a buyin. Not bad given the bad start. I really am not sure what adjustments I need to make to beat that game. Being looser is wrong. However when five people limp every pot and call every raise I think raising my scooping hands is a good idea. Normally you want more people in with these hands but if people are not folding then you might as well get more money into the pot. Not really sure the key to these games. I just feel the juiciness.

Went 1 and 1 in HU NLHE. Had a guy call me a fucking big ass fish. So I wiped the floor with him. That was awesome. I pulled a Veneno on him and said "Golly I just play for the fun of it". He was not amused. Funniest thing though is he did not signup for a rematch. If someone is a fish you should always get a rematch.

Congratz to Evy for fifth place finish. As much crap as people give her about her game I think she continue to improve and is actually a decent player. Even if she is not all you faggots who say she sucks have never made a score that big so nah nahh nah nahhhhhhh nah. Keep it up girl.

Go Evy Go! Shake them Titties!

Date: Thu, Sep 4, 2008

Evy is doing fantastic at the Borgata. Follow along as Dr. Pauly reports the breaking bustouts. He gets 11 cents for every bustout he reports! Yay! Haha just giving my favorite reporter a hard time. I am really pulling for Evy (not that way!) and hope she finishes off (not that way!).. She is currently in 14th place out of like 1200. The buyin was like $300 and that means if I could do math first place would be a big amount. She currently is guaranteed over 2K in cash. If I was smarter I could give you a figure. Anyway GOOOOOOOOOOOO EVY GO! We are all pulling for you *(not that way!). Peace.

Smart People

Date: Thu, Sep 4, 2008

Can someone smart explain something to me. I have read in multiple blogs that "Liberal media is biased against the republicans". I may or may not agree with this. However the authors then go on to quote US magazine. Now I had to go to their website to make sure but is this not like the National Enquirer? I mean their hot story of the day is how fat some celebrity on the beach is. Do you really want to use that magazine as your example of how the media is treating Republican's? Why not just say the media believes in fucking UFO's and quote the National Enquirer. I mean give me a fucking break. At least make a valid point. Show me some NEWSPAPER that proves your point not some fucking flaming paparazzi rag. You might be right about your assumption but your examples suck ass.

Bayne Iz Phear Me

Date: Wed, Sep 3, 2008

He hiding today. No Chat. He afraid. Mookie came out of the woodwork so I got my traditional MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK! in. Everything is falling in place. Three games to take down a win and a small cash. Can LJ slam the door in my face before I do that? Will she lucksack into another victory cracking Aces with her A3o or will I out lucksack her tonight and make it interesting. Will the Asian Undies turn out to be a sign of my impending victory. I think if Cayne is not at my starting table it will be a good sign. Peace out peeps. See you tonight.

Revenge of the Fat Men

Date: Tue, Sep 2, 2008

First off I have to apologize to all African American youths. I really thought you just could not dress yourselves but lately I have come around to thinking that the jean manufacturers are to blame. My latest pair of pants tend to ride down my ass and if I did not wear long shirts to hide my fat I would have the underwear showing look that is so prevalent in the city. So fuck you Jean makers!!!

I suppose to be fair the underwear showing look was actually invented by the white man plumber. It was just popularized by the hip-hop youth of America. So if you think it is cool to show your ass crack remember that some fat white dude started the trend. How cool are you now? Yeah.. didn't think so.

I got a special treat today as Poker Enthusiast stopped by my work today. He was in town selling some kind of engineering crap. It was great to check off one more name I wanted to meet. He had to be on the top of my list of Bloggers I wanted to meet but had not had the chance yet. He bailed on last years Vegas trip or else that might have happened. Anyway he is a cool stand up guy. Reminds me of JJ a little. Anyway peace out. Have fun. See you tomorrow night when I win the Mookie.

Waffles Method Approved by the Pro's

Date: Fri, Aug 29, 2008

If you have not heard the breaking news yet: BRIAN TOWNSEND, FT Red Poker PRO... Is a Waffles initiate. He has decided to use my super system. The replacement for the worn out Brunson crap. Yes you heard it here first. Check it out in his own words:

This year I have been breakeven.
- Brian Townsend

Break even players everywhere are using the Waffles system to become mediocre. I guess the guy was also using a second account for anonymity. Is this really such a big issue? I am not sure. When I hear a guy has a second account it does not really equate to cheating to me. All the cry babies that can not use Poker Tracker on the new alias all I have to say is: L2P (Learn to Play). Faggots if you can not get your game going without some retarded software you are just crippled motherfuckers. Just hook up your fucking bot and let him play for you. Idiots. Anyone else have an opinion on this? I wonder if I can get Brian to sign copies of my new book. hmm.

Hatahs

Date: Thu, Aug 28, 2008

Well well well.. I see how it is. Yeah. I saw it all. I saw you chip dump to LJ with your AA Hoyazo. How dare you! I saw you all just walk her straight up to first place to spite me. I am sure you toyed with the RNG too. I mean how do you lose 2-95% favorite hands in a row? Huh? No answer! Must be shenanigans!!! You all fear my next challenge so much you have to team up and try and stop me here. It will not work!!!!

This will backfire on you though. Ohh yeah. You think it will make me want to quit. ohhhhh no. It just hardens my resolve. You will go down. You will lose this bet. You will not stand before me. I will get you and your little dog too.
