I was down a bit in the middle of august. Butttt...the last week or so has been incredible and I've been destroying the bigger games and am very nicely in the green now. :)
I won the right place at the right time lottery by finding a fish who wanted to play $200/400 HU today definitely helped. Then again I've been practicing/playing tons of heads up in the last year or so I feel like that helped a ton vs this guy. Everything just flowed.
I just talked to Jay and he said the 3 of them (jay, dave (nlsoldier) and billy) have been destroying the games as well. Definitely seeing more and more of that (people winning nicely) these days and I'm really pumped up for those guys. Can't wait to visit them in san diego in a week or two.
Last night me, pickett, sam, and baronzues unleashed 10 tables of $.5/1 lhe on absolute trying to hit the outrageously huge 700k bad beat jackpot. The highest it ever got on party over a year was like 450. I think i heard around 250 or 300 it becomes +EV. My guess is it costs about 30 per hour to play because we just limp every bad beat possible hand (like JJ QJ AT 88 AA K9) etc and fold everything else. Also, play passive postflop to not knock anyone out.
BZ had a straight flush on a 88875 board but the guy didn't have the 8. I had one where I had a straight flush where there was two 8's out there but no quads. Rats.
Now it's up to 755k and bizot might come over to unleash on them again tonight as well. One of us better hit it!

4 miles
I think I ran 4 miles once on an indoor track in about 10th grade once, but since then I haven't even came close. My farthest since starting 6 weeks ago was 2.6 miles a few days ago, but today I decided to just keep going...and pretty much the only reason I had to stop was cause I was overheating with how warm/humid it is.
Feels so good to notice some nice progress...
I am going to hit the almost 700k absolute bad beat jackpot. The bigger games sucked this morning so I decided to 8 table $2/4 and $3/6 lhe. The rake is 6% with the bbj drop. Pretty much unbeatable lol.

canterbury
Schneider and I went up to canterbury at like 10pm. The game was incredible and it got down to heads up and even if one of us busted the other, neither of us was going to be even. lol. I ended up busting him and he rebought and got a little bit back but still it was bk for the win hehe.
I mean, it wasn't too hard, the kid didn't even know what makes what half the time, one hand he bet the river and I called and he goes 8 high and flipped over 85 which makes a straight on a 74Q26 board....I said isn't that a straight... oh yeah woops. Grrr i knew he was bluffing so i called with king high thinking he knows how to read the board...nope.
ALso played like 4 hours online today. I've been really happy with how that's been going lately and I feel sharp. And it's been nice that the games are pretty good as well.
I really don't know what I'm doing this week and that sounds pretty good. I got groceries today so that's out of the way. I have to stop at the bank I guess too, and softball on thursday, but other than that I don't have stuff planned and I bet I'll work a lot and probably fit the state fair in at some point. I suppose I'll have no excuse not to work out, so I can't imagine not running my ass off too.
Time to wind down and try to get to bed so I don't have too retarded of a sleep schedule.

heh x2
Well ended up playing an hour and winning all the dollars cause I ran super hot. Everything held up and I made some good hands. Love sessions like that. Seif went on mega tilt and just dumped and dumped. It's funny every time he busts everyone sits out then he rebuys and they sit back in. Must be a pretty crappy feeling but he always comes back for more...
My sister understood that I needed to play just a little bit more so that was nice...now I'm off!
A 2 hand combo that imo makes the second hand a little more interesting.

I was stalling waiting for my sister and cleaning my desk up when baronzeus msged me looking for some AP money and told me to get on there as the jackpot was 450k. I looked and seif was back at it. He busted but has since rebought. I won what I dropped earlier and had a few interesting hands.

video games
I haven't really played much poker in the last few days...instead I've been playing some other video games. I bought mario strikers (soccer) for Wii so jon and I have been playing that quite a bit. Civilization 4 came out with an expansion pack so I've dedicated some time to that. And how can we forget golden tee. Also, instead of running I've been playing DDR and lifting which is probably good to mix in from time to time.
The only poker I played today was a quick 15 minute hit and run that mark seif put on me at 150/300. He's so dumb.
After bragging to jeff the other day about how I dropped a peanut butter and jelly sandwich onto my lap and it fell face up I've had terrible luck. Jon and I got Chinese last night and I boxed mine up and some of the juices leaked out of the side onto my shirt that I'd been wearing a whole 1 hour. Then I had a glass of wine while we were playing soccer and for some reason there was some on the outside of the glass which dripped onto my shorts. Darnit. I quickly used one of those fabric pens and all is well, but I'm still a putz.

6 for 6
I'm starting to think the poker gods have something to do with the airline industry. I swear I'm like 6 for 6 on huge winning sessions whenever my plane is delayed.
We stalled most of the afternoon as we had a 545 flight and had done pretty much everything and ended up getting here real early at like 315 or something cause we just didn't have anything better to do - only to find out our plane was delayed til 930. That would bring us in around 230am. At first we were disgruntled but after the grrr phase we relaxed and realized it's not that big of a deal. I ended up played poker for like 3 hours and winning a grip (that's a lot, schneider). We then went to grab food and drinks and played some 2 handed wist...my mom cheats I swear...either that or I suck at remembering waht trump is. Lol.
One of the fish railed me for a hand I played.
Full table 30/60
Basically a guy raised and 5 cold callers so we were going to take the flop 6 ways so I called in the bb with 64o
The flop came J32 with 2 clubs and the guy bet and 4 people called...so of course I called.
The turn was a 6 of hearts. The guy bet and 3 people called. I did as well, obviously.
The river was another 6 and the sb bet out, I called, and the pfr over called with his QJ. I hated the spot but obviously I'm never folding in a million years and the better ended up having 75 and the pfr QJ. Nice flop call with the 75 sir. LOL. well played.
The QJ guy went off and I giggled. It may seem fishy but my play is nothing but standard and doing anything else is wrong. :) num num.
50/100 stars. I raised in the co with ak, the bb was the fish who just didn't quite get it called.
HU
Flop QJ9 he check called.
The turn was a 6 and he checked and I bet, knowing somehow that he was going to check-raise. When I say I knew it, I was like 80% sure, which had nothing to do with the flop. I just thought it wouldn't make sense given the flop check-call from him and I was going to call down. It's a pretty ugly spot, but for some reason I was ready to dive right in and get dirty with this guy. So I bet. He check-raised. I called. The river bricked off and I called again and he showed a7 and I took it down. I know that sounds all weird and semi-long winded, but it was just one of those 'spots' where playing tons and tons of hands with goofballs for some reason just lead to the right answers. In a vacuum it looks kinda stupid and sometimes I have these premonitions and they make me look stupid, but I feel that they are good.
Jonny A and I played a hand at canterbury where I called him on the river with queen high after we had put in 3 bets pre, 3 on the flop and 1 on the turn, sure as hell he was bluffing...but it was after too much talk and deliberation to raise...that he actually had K high and took it down. Darnit. I'm terrible.
The minneapolis people just got off the plane so it's time to get on soon byeee.
