Taking a few days off of online poker since my meltdown the other nite. Played a few donkaments at work yesterday and won 64 cents. LOL. Going away this weekend, so I will be fresh and ready to jump back into NL when I get home.
Just ordered a new Cigar Humidor. Can't wait to fill that thing up! It will be here tomorrow. My friend said I should just smoke pot, since it would be cheaper. LOL. He is probably right. Humidor, cigar cutter, butane lighter, boxes of cigars. $$$

05/29/07 - Phuck Limit
Bankroll: $2393.68
Today sucked donkey balls. My internet went out and it took me 2 hours on the phone with some guy who I could barely understand to fix it. I was in the middle of 4 tabling at the time when it went down.
Lost $182 total today playing 2/4. So much for the limit idea. What a effing joke fixed limit is. People calling you down with pocket 2's hitting 2 outers on river, gutshots filling, just crazy shit. I tried limit seriously about a year ago, and now I know why I don't play it anymore. Hate is not strong enough to describe it.
Phuck you donk limit players.

05/28/07 - More limit to break up the Grind
Played some more $2/$4 limit today. All I can say, are the players awful. I was down over 80 at one point and then I battled back to -6 or so. I was logging off when I got 99 and raised with 5 way flop. LOL. I kinda like it though. Im a donk at heart.

05/26/07 - Macanudo Hyde Park Cafe
Thursday nite poker was a blast as usual. My buddy recommended a cigar to me and it was awesome. I used to be a big cigar smoker and I rekindled my passion when I went to the track last week. He also gave me an AVO cigar which was pretty damn good too.
I got hammered at live poker and it took me 2 days to recover. I bubbled again when I ran into AA in BB. LOL. 2nd game I called SB raise in BB with QJs. I flop flush. My buddy flopped higher flush. GG.
I saw the movie "Hot Fuzz" tonite to stay away from the crowds seeing Pirates. It was pretty good! The last half hour of the movie, I laughed the whole time. The action was awesome. I couldn't stop smiling.
I played poker tonite for the first time since Wed. I even mixed it up and played LIMIT!! Donk-it! I won about $58 so I was happy. I got trips cracked twice and KK and JJ cracked by Q-7 and K-rag. I hit some nice hands though and was happy with the win. Maybe it will help my NL post flop game.

05/21/07 - No poker weekend
Only played a few hands over the weekend and tried for the 10 billionth hand on stars. I missed by 3000. The hand hit on 1 cent/2 cent table and 2 people folded????? Idiots.
I got home last nite to 2 VM on my cell from my friend playing in the Sunday $215. He was going deep. I watched him and he did quite well and got 367th for about $1200 or so. Pretty nice score in my opinion.
I need to play tonite and tomorrow to take advantage of double fpps on stars towards my bonus.

05/18/07 - Davidoff Cigar
Just got back from the Cigar event at the racetrack. Pretty awesome. Got to meet the VP of Davidoff that they flew in from Switzerland. This guy was so money he didn't even know it. European high roller. I pointed him out to my friend in the beginning before we even knew who he was, just by his high roller-ness. He brought special edition cigars from the vault in Switzerland. Awesome.
The horse racing didn't go so well. I won $$ in 1 out of 10 races. I had no idea what I was doing. Our private tent was pretty cool with full bar, food, and being able to go down to the rail to watch the action. The Milf and Gilf action was nice.

05/18/07 - Arlington Race Track
Didn't play cash games yesterday. Had a headache and watched season finales of a lot of shows I had on Tivo.
Played 2 donkaments during the day at work. Went out with 7-7 vs 10-4??? and AKs vs KQ. I hate tournaments.
Going to Arlington Racetrack today with my buddy. I haven't bet on horses in like 10 years. We are going to a Davidoff Cigar event, so it should be awesome. Food, Drinks, and 4 Davidoff cigars provided. Goes from 2-7. High rollers.

05/16/07 - Folded Middle Set
Today: +71.45
To go: $0
Bankroll: $2575.68
6-max: 479 hands *** 1.68 hours *** 16.49/13.57
Made a sick laydown tonite. Check this out:
10-10: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1103460 . Flopping a set of 10's on a 9-10-J board is not the flop you want. I must be getting good. I put 3 bettor on KQ and Middle guy on Flush draw. Having a set there, is that the correct play?? I have 10 outs to hit my boat and crack str8's and flushes? Am I a donk for folding or a genius??? I looked up in pokertracker and I had correct odds to call with 10 outs remaining. I posted on Cardrunners to see what the masses think. Great hand.
Other than that, I had 3-way all in with AA vs KK vs AT which held for once. Then I had JJ vs QQ and flopped a set and milked him to death. Nice when you are on the other end.

05/15/07 = KK equals Kongs
Today: -38.00
To go: $0
Bankroll: $2504.23
6-max: 390 hands *** 1.27 hours *** 16.15/10.26
Had bad luck today. Pocket Kings cracked twice today for about $70 total. 1st one was against pocket aces where I almost layed down preflop. That woulda been sick. I 3-bet and he 4 bet me preflop. Of course I smooth call and push on a 10 high board .
2nd one was that I ran into set of 10's. Got back to even then, and then I went downhill.
I've had a lot of losing sessions in a row. I have no confidence to move up to 100 level at this time. I don't have a positive win rate either. I need to watch more vids.

05/14/07 - Up and Down
Today: -13.40 + 150.00 bonus = +136.60
To go: $0
Bankroll: $2542.23
6-max: 306 hands *** 0.87 hours *** 17.65/13.73
Finally cleared $150 bonus on stars. I am over $2500 for my 25 buy-in rule for NL $100. However I don't think I'm moving up yet. I am still a losing player at NL $50. Over 34,200 hands I am down -158.25. All of my profit has been from Bonus and rakeback. $1083 since I started challenge. Plus the last 3 or 4 sessions, I have been down huge on donk outs or bad play and fight to get back to even or a slight profit. Always fighting.
Take today for an example. I was cruising along up about $30. Then I got donked and ended down 13.40. I need to watch some videos.
I like the stars promotion. I have $125 bonus left and about 200 fpps to get to Silver, so I can rack up fpps 300% faster with the billion hand promotion. It will make the 1875 clear more like a 600 or 700 fpp clearance.

05/13/07 - KK cracked
Today: -23.10
To go: $94.37
Bankroll: $2405.63
6-max: 631 hands *** 1.63 hours *** 13.79/10.78
Played like a nit tonite. I was 5-tabling though, so I tend to tighten up. Started off by getting KK cracked by 44. It was a ragged flop and guy re-raised me. I check-called him whole way and he hit 4 on river. I played hand like a donk.
Also got in a raising war when i was in BB. SB kept raising when folded to him. I pick up a hand and 3-bet with AQs, he 4-bet me to $21 and I probably should have folded. Instead I called and folded when I totally missed flop and he went all in.
Other hand I get it 3-way all in with AKs. Both were 1/4 stacks. Flop is K-9-9. I lost vs 9-9. lol.
Good hands:
KQs : http://www.pokerhand.org/?1093291 . Here I keep value betting and he keeps calling. Nice.
K-10s: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1093294 . Got an extra bet out of him calling his check raise. I for sure thought he was putting it in with his Ace since he was short. Damn.
88: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1093297 . I don't understand this bet pattern. It tends to be weak. Leading into the preflop bettor? Then Calling raise, and leading again on turn. I probably coulda popped him again but I had boat on turn.

05/13/07 - Epassporte 3 - Awesome
Made withdrawl from Full Tilt today for $500 at 11:55 am. It showed up in epassporte account at 5:13 pm. Deposited to Pokerstars and got $125 bonus. Awesome. I just hope they don't close because 3/4 of my money is on stars now! LOL.
I'm debating if my wife's account should set one up now too. Double bubble.
Greed is good.

05/13/07 - Epassporte Part 2 = $500 Limbo
So here was the response from Full Tilt about my question of multiple e-processors. I was worried about having my old Neteller link to my Full Tilt account:
"Hello,Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.Due to recent legislation in the United States, NETeller is no longer processing deposits or withdrawals between its US customers and Full Tilt Poker. As such, there is no way that your withdrawal can be processed to your NETeller account.I have reviewed your Full Tilt Poker player account, and I see that yourdeposit of $45 was successful and the funds have been credited to your account. Now that we have an active payment processor on file for you, all your future withdrawals will be processed to your ePassporte account, unless you email us and request otherwise.Your ePassporte account has been fully verified, and you are now free to withdraw all or part of your money as you wish. If you have any further questions, please feel free to write us back. We wish you the best of luck at the tables! "
So the next step I did was move $500 to epassporte from Full Tilt. Unverified epassporte accounts have a $500 single transaction limit, so that kinda sucks for the $600 stars deposit for the $150 bonus. Looks like I will only get $125 bonus. To get your limits raised, you have to verify another load option, which could be a bank account or another credit card. I don't have another Visa or Mastercard, and the bank account option takes like 2 weeks to verify, so I was happy with the $500 limit. Plus I want to limit how much info I give out.
So, right now I have $500 in limbo. Let's see how long it takes to hit epassporte.

Today: +$4.25
To go: $70.71
Bankroll: $2429.29
6-max: 269 hands *** 0.80 hours *** 17.84/13.38
Bankroll reflects $45 deposit made to Tilt today. Anyway, started off session -30.00 with this hand:
AQ: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1090279 . Initially, I put this guy on drawing to a straight. He comes out firing on the river, and I got runner runnered. I checked pokertracker and he had exact odds to call on both streets.
I love this stars promotion. I'm racking up Fpps towards my $150 with like 200-300 per session. Awesome.

05/12/07 - Epassporte Review
So with Stars running their 10 billion hand promotion and me missing out on $150 bonus, I decided to open an epassporte account to move money from Full Tilt to Stars, etc. It's hard to pass up free money.
I thought about all the other options, like MoneyGram, Paytru card, for shooting $600 on there, but this was best option to be able to move money around from site to site. After reading some reviews on pocketfives, I decided to try it out. My experience was pretty impressive!
I followed Tilt's step-by-step guide for the epassporte signup. I filled in name, adress, email to match my account details at tilt. Next Step was to choose if I wanted to load epassporte with bank account or credit card. I crossed my fingers and tried my Visa credit card. It actually worked!
The next step was to call my Visa card customer service number and see what the pending charge that epassporte put on card. This is where it got interesting. My credit card asked me all sorts of security questions and I had to verify that my pending charge from foreign country was ok. Fraud prevention. Nice work Chase.
So I come back to account screen and typed in amount of pending charge and I was done. Next step was to choose how to load epassporte account. I just wanted to do the minimum so I could establish link with Full Tilt. I put $50 from credit card and got a $5 service charge, so the net was a $45 deposit. It appeared instantly, so I was off to deposit it onto Tilt.
I logged on Tilt. Made the deposit. It went thru in about 20 secs. $45 deposit. Link established! I sent email to support about having multiple e-processors on my account. I don't want the money going to Neteller OBV when I make my withdrawl. From what I hear on pocketfives, I might have to wait 48 hours to make withdrawl.
I will keep you posted of money transfer steps.

05/11/07 - Late nite session
Today: -95.85 6max + 42.00 rakeback = -53.85
To go: $119.96
Bankroll: $2380.04
6-max: 692 hands *** 1.97 hours *** 17.92/11.99
One of those sessions where I missed every flop, get played back at with every c-bet, every AK, AQ, AJ, missed. I hit with AJ once on A-J-4. Guy had set of 4's, but didn't stack me. The one weird thing was every short stack all in with my big pairs held.
Stars is running a promotion where I'm getting double fpps towards my last bonus. I cleared like 300 fpps which is good. They are also runing a deposit bonus which I am mad about. The old days of neteller was so awesome. I would load each account and get 150 max bonus every time. Just move it back and forth. Now its a lot harder. I don't have epassporte set up and I don't know if I want to. It seems like a hassle according to pocketfives posting. Effin neteller. Losing out on $300 bonus.
Oh yeah, my dog's anal gland exploded today. That was fun going to the vet.

05/11/07 - Home Game Bubble
Played with the crew last nite. First night of poker in the garage. Good cigars, good booze, good times. My teeth are fuzzy.
I went from having 50% of chips in play when we were 4 handed to going out on the bubble in 3 hands. It was awful.
First hand: SB goes all in, I got KQs in BB. Called, his pocket 2's held up.
Second hand: I attack from button with A-8s, short stack BB calls with any two and hits 60-40
3rd hand: 66 all in vs JJ. I spike 6 on board 6-2-8. Turn is 8, river is 8. BRUTAL game.
We behaved last nite. No boobs.

05/10/07 - Live Game Tonite....Uh Oh.
Garage poker season is among us. Tables are being moved from basement to garage this afternoon for Live game tonite. It's been 3 weeks since our last game where things got a little out of hand. As my one friend said, "Poker is now secondary." It's all about having a good time now.....and trying to see one of the chick's boobs that plays with us. LOL.
Last time we played til 3am, so I'm trying to clear my Friday's schedule at work. There should be some stories.

Played some $4.40 180-man sngs today while I drew at work. Went out with top pair vs. set in 1 and bubbled in 22nd in the other.
Played a long session for me at cash. Was down over $60 at one point and got it back to even. Pretty happy. Hit some sets and some overpairs held.
Been away from the grind for a while. Felt good to get back in it.
To go: $66.11

05/04/07 - Cubs Win!
Today: -$9.75
To go: $64.31
Bankroll: $2435.69
6-max: 406 hands *** 1.18 hours *** 18.72/13.79
Went to see Da Cub today. Nice day, Nice win, 3rd row dugout seats. I love the Wrig.
Got stacked playing poker with AA vs 99. I got mini-raised on a terrible coordinated board and should have bailed. Worked it back to 9.75 loss, so I was happy I guess. I played solid tonite. Very few mistakes. Won a lot of nice hands.
Worked on blocking/value bets. "Show me better" concept. Was working like a charm tonite.
Good session even though it was a loss.

05/03/07 - I'm not dead
Today: +$30.90
To go: $54.56
Bankroll: $2445.44
6-max: 171 hands *** 0.58 hours *** 18.71/15.20
Played a quick session. Had a good hand:
99: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1060488 . Had the perfect setup for this hand. It was awesome. I just beat this guy in a blind confrontation with A-9 vs AQ, so I looked like a donk. Checking the turn to make him catch up was brilliant. Value bet on the end gets called which was nice.
Going to see the CUBS tomorrow. Dugout seats, Beer, coinslots and whale tails. Good times.
