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.

From seattle
My mom and I have spent a lot of time walking around downtown and down by the water and we were surprised by the number of 'hippies' or grunge like people we saw(if that's not pc, my bad - not sure what is)...it's very prominent...much more than any other place I've traveled to. We just thought it was 'normal' for seattle and didn't think a whole lot of it...My mom was reading the paper this morning and she read that it was the 16th annual hemp fest here this weekend. Ahhh, that would explain.
Also, it would explain the comedy show 2 nights ago where one of the comedians spent almost his entire show talking about weed/getting high. The funny part to me is my mom doesn't relate to that mindset really at all (and told me she didn't condone that kind of behavior) yet she found him hilarious...i think mostly just in how he was genuine and funny about it and not hey look at me I smoke i'm cool.
Another thing is you're guaranteed to see about 16 homeless people per mile you walk. They all seem very harmless...either quiet/panhandling or just completely out of their mind talking to themselves. One guy was walking through the intersection completely jamming out on his air guitar oblivious to the world which was hilarious. There have been a few yelling about Christianity too. One guy had a mega-phone and was so retarded that he didn't realize if he talked too close to the receiver it comes out as a squeak, so most of what he said was just be squeeeeeak sqqueeeeak the lord sqqqueeeeeeak squeeeeak. Brilliant, moron.
We met up with amy fox for lunch today. I hadn't seen her in a year and a half so that was nice to catch up. I tried also meeting up with Ian J and Travis but it just didn't work out.
We saw the Mariners pound on the white sox today. Our seats were 4 rows behind the sox dugout so I was ready to heckle AJ but he didn't play and I didn't have any beers for encouragement and yelling at him when he's not in the game is kinda lame.
I could blab some more but I've talked enough. We fly out at like 5pm tomorrow so we're gonna do some more wandering and check out the space needle.

They all seem very harmless...either quiet/panhandling or just completely out of their mind talking to themselves. One guy was walking through the intersection completely jamming out on his air guitar oblivious to the world which was hilarious. There have been a few yelling about Christianity too. One guy had a mega-phone and was so retarded that he didn't realize if he talked too close to the receiver it comes out as a squeak, so most of what he said was just be squeeeeeak sqqueeeeak the lord sqqqueeeeeeak squeeeeak. Brilliant, moron.
We met up with amy fox for lunch today. I hadn't seen her in a year and a half so that was nice to catch up. I tried also meeting up with Ian J and Travis but it just didn't work out.
We saw the Mariners pound on the white sox today. Our seats were 4 rows behind the sox dugout so I was ready to heckle AJ but he didn't play and I didn't have any beers for encouragement and yelling at him when he's not in the game is kinda lame.
I could blab some more but I've talked enough. We fly out at like 5pm tomorrow so we're gonna do some more wandering and check out the space needle.

Seattle
Tomorrow my mom and I are headed to Seattle for a long weekend as she turned 50 and wanted to take a trip with each of her kids and her husband.
I'm not sure exactly what we're doing, but I'm sure it'll be a great time. She put me in charge of getting Mariners tickets so I went on their ticket exchange and was able to snag 8th row behind home plate for sunday afternoon. I'm pretty excited for that.
I've been keeping up on the running and have a softball game tonight. I better go shower quick and then I'm off to golden tees.

king lazy
I've been super lazy lately as far as updating this goes.
So anyhow, I went up to a buddy's cabin for a few days which was super fun except for blowing my brains in in some amazingly good 100/200 games. I took a few days off after that partially cause of it and partially cause I had lots of other stuff to do...my cousin got married and I was an usher so I had to do stuff with that.
Played a little and won a nice amount the day after and played yesterday and lost like 1k but felt super tilty for some reason so I decided I"m going to learn O8 for a few days. I'm just such an omaha n00b and I don't want that to be the case in case I need to be able to play the game sometime. That said, man are other people horrrrrible at omaha...at least at the 5/10 level I've been playing. I want to get to the point where I don't even have to 'think' about what the nut low and nut low draw is at any point...which is what I have to do now which seems pathetic to me. I dunno, the cards come fast and change a lot and I still have to try to sorta hand read. I also am probably too loose but I don't really know hand values that great short handed.
The twins are so terrible, ugh.

post-vacation update (longest blog ever)
Ahhhhh (relaxed ahhh, not yelling ahhh lol) that vacation was nice. I didn't even think about poker one small bit on the trip. I did something physical every day (mostly back-country type hiking) and ate really well and am really starting to notice some gains on my running.
I had gotten way out of shape, so I started running 1.6 miles (because taht's how far it is to a good turn around point and back) about 3 weeks ago and the first time it took me 16 minutes and 40 seconds. Pathetic, but I gotta start somewhere. My best time before leaving was 14:53. Yesterday I did it in 13:35. It's still like 8:30 minute miles which is pretty slow, but it's good progress. Now it's time to start adding a good bit more distance.
On friday, after unpacking and showering I started a session which just didn't feel right. I didn't feel sharp so after a half hour or so I quit and decided to take the rest of the day off.
So after a nothing happened session in the morning Kels and I decided to goto the twins game. Man is that a pain in the ass to get down there without the 35W bridge. What a pain in the ass and I think I took a stupid way although that's the way google maps told me to take...94e which wraps ALL the way around the city and then have to take some stupid back roads in there. I think I'm going to investigate taking like broadway or something off of 94 and coming in that way...would only seem to make the most sense.
The evening session was alllllll over the place. Huge variance.
I don't play much 1/2 on stars but this game looked (and was) really good so I hopped in and almost immediately this hand happened. After this hand the guy rand up like 15k and quit. lol. This hand was actually from the afternoon i guess, but my session was short and I don't really recall much from it.

Rats. Foiled. Bad start.
I got stuck quite a bit and put my stoploss at 10k but never got there and got back to around even at one point and the games were starting to fall apart so I unposted but lost a couple big pots and the end and ended up down a nice bit but not frustrated as I played great.
I opted for the 50/100 stars games this morning and this one guy seemed to be starting to tilt. I looked at his pt and he was down like 6 or something and sitting all alone at another table. I joined and we started playing hu. He wanted a 2nd table and I was already beating up on him so of course I obliged. In the first 15 hands or so I hit 3 gut-shots, all of which I c/r the flop. Now he was stuck maybe 10 on the day and whatever control he had left, had now left the building. Every hand was something like this (except the me having 3 of a kind part, i really didn't have super strong hands that much, just a lot of top pairs)

The river was one of those hand gets ahead of the brain spots. I meant to bet it but my hand beat me to the check button. It didn't matter as he had K high and there's perhaps a 15% chance he calls, but I figured he actually had a better hand than that.

Kels and I are going up to canterbury today cause she's been wanting to check out the races all summer and summer is winding down so now is the time. Schneider is meeting us up there and poker bob probably too eventually.
