Transformers and super downswing

Monday was a gross poker day!!! Lost set over set 4 times and AA to KK 3 times. went down 8 buyins in around 2 hours. Controlled my tilt well though and won a $200+$10 HU then brought back my -$800 to around -$380 for the day in cash games. Overall lost about $200 so I can't really complain. The rest of the time of the week I spent grinding back up to where I was at and finally im back in the green for the week. I'm starting to learn the grind and stop trying to move up in stakes and cover my losses. Check out the nasty graphs to see the grossness.

Highlight day of the week: Tuesday
Went to class at 1pm and got out at 3pm. I had that stupid manufacturing project to complete and I did not start it yet. As I told yall earlier, it supposedly takes forever, and they were not joking. Spent 8 straight hours at the library clicking away trying to get the numbers right and eventually finished up the 5 page paper. I rewarded myself by seeing one of the best movies ever: TRANSFORMERS! Man, I really love transformers. But if I was to grade the movies it gets an A for sure. The action sequences were amazing and now they better hurry up and come out with the 3rd one.

Last night I stayed up for 14 hours straight watching Season 7 of 24. It is definetly my favorite TV show and I highly recommend it to anyone. It gets you hooked and you literally can't stop or fall asleep. They just do not stop with the undermining plots and twists and it literally keeps you wanting more.

I was going to talk about some poker strategy this post, but I'm going to hold off since I have a paper and presentation to do for tomorrow morning. Shipshape. GG.

Super Punch Out

Apple screwed me this weekend. Waited in line on Friday for an eternity and right when I was buying my iPhone they told me my dad had to be present because he is the primary account holder. #$&*@$*@. That's what I wanted to say, but instead I walked over to Game Stop and purchased Super Punch Out. The game is loads of fun and a great way to get over Apple problems.

Instead of going to Nashville my girlfriend decided to come here since there was a big party going down and lots of people were coming into town. The party was not bad, got super drunk and actually did not play any normal poker. Instead of losing a couple buyins drunk I went to the .01/.02 table and lost $10 while having a great time. Wish I could have played more poker, but the break was good and hopefully I will be back at it tomorrow.

I am screwed in my summer Logistics class. We have a big part of some project due on Tuesday and I have no idea how to operate the manufacturing simulator. Supposedly it takes at least 10 hours to learn the program and I have not even downloaded the nasty program. O well, I only need a D in the class so who really cares.

I probably should go start that project so GG. Shipshape.

The Wireless Internet Blows

Alrite, I could not post yesterday because our broke ass internet service went out all night. Pretty gross because I took a long nap and looked forward to grinding all night. All in all last night was lame poker wise. Today was better though, got 1k hands in and made a little over a buy in so it worked out. I was really happy with my play because I did not stack off on a couple cooler hands and it felt good to min loss those hands where most people go broke. One example, Villain in middle position raises to $3 and I call in the BB with 55. Flop comes A88 and its check check. Turn brings a 5 giving me the boat and I bet out $4 with villain insta calling. River is a blank and I check. Villain bets $10 and I just had a feeling so I flat called. Villain tables A8 for a flopped boat and I was extremely happy I saved myself alot of money.

I will probably not play much this weekend since I'm going to Nashville to visit my girlfriend for the weekend. Should be a great time and a nice little break. This might keep me from getting Iron status but I think I'll be happy with Gold for this month.

Played more basketball today and felt great. Knees were not hurting and I felt like my old basketball days. The best thing of the day was finalizing my Tunica trip for Jul 2-5th. We are staying at the Gold Strike and it should be a great time to degen it up in Blackjack and play some poker. Since I'm probably not going to post this weekend I'll leave yall with the updated graph at close to 10k hands. GG. Shipshape.

Basketball is killing my knees

GG to my knees. For some reason I can't stop playing basketball even though my knees kill me to the point where I can't walk afterwords. Played with all my roomates for 3 hours today and I feel fine when I play, but I after I feel like an 85 year old man with rheumatoid arthritis. O well though, I could use the cardio.

Class was pointless as usual. We got out early and I learned absolutely nothing. Sometimes I wonder if I could have just paid the university all 4 years in advance and gotten the diploma. Things would be so much easier that way.

Poker wise I totally forgot to state the stakes I've been playing. My new thing is .50/1NL Full Ring cash games. FR is the only way I can keep up with 10+ tables and it seems to be real low variance as long as I control my tilt tendencies and don't jump into a 5/10 game. Today's session was real good. Took a couple bad beats early but recovered nicely to a positive day. I'll post an updated graph sometime later this week.

If you get a chance Youtube Bryce Harper. Some 16yr old high school baseball player who's supposed to be the "Lebron James" of baseball. His highlight video is pretty nasty and he launched some 550ft home run. Must be nice.

Time to go grind some more. GG. Shipshape.

Summer startup



I guess the time has come, so I've decided to start my own blog finally. I'm going to use this blog to track my weekly life and poker adventures. Poker wise, since I have a donk Mac I have to use Poker Copilot which caps my hands at 150k, so I just recently reset it. I'm starting with June 12th so here's my graph so far.

So far so good. It's only ~5k hands but I'm hoping this blog will keep me honest with my results and make me a better player.

Life wise, I'm taking a stupid summer class that is keeping me away from Vegas and the WSOP. I would give anything to drop this class, but obviously my degree is more important.

I'll keep this entry short and will def be making many updatements. GG.
