I sucked ad DADI. I was at the inlaws house and out of my ‘zone’. Then of course some donk catches a flush (K5c?) on the river vs my 88 hee haw. So I get home to watch the end of DADI, congrats to ScottMcMilla.
I 4-tabled for a bit, 2 on titan (+40) 2 on stars. One of which I sat down with Garthmeister and Mook. Eventually i closed titan down. and came in second in the 2 table SNG with my brother(5th). It’s amazing how ABC poker works somtimes. I was focused on the 25NL table, chatting it up screwing with the ‘tourists’ I played the SNG straight …until the following hand.
Keep in mind I was fairly lubricated at this point, so my memory is a bit hazy.
We are 6 handed and I get 69off. I decide to bluff the blind about 3x and he calls. Flop comes A65 and I bet (800?) at it. BB calls. I KNOW this guy isnt smart enough to slow play a big hand, so I put him on Ax. turn brings a 7 and I double my bet….again he calls….ugh. I cant believe I’m gonna have to lay this down. Then the beautiful 8 comes on the river, I push and the donkey calls with A2, hilarious.
I wish I had thought of taking a screenshot of the blogger table. In attendance was Surflexus, smokkee, Boobielover, Joe Speaker, Miami Don, jjok, iakarus, mookie99, garthmeister, and iggy. I’m too lazy to link yall up..sorry.. Somehow I racked up to about 80 there but managed to donate most of my stack to the blogfather and his made nut flush. Not that he needs it. It was an enormous amount of fun.
Today, I’m just trying to stay awake and not breathe on anyone.
A few things.
1. I’m too lazy to just edit my last post. So I just add another.
2. I didn’t link up CC on the last post. If you are not reading his blog daiy, bad things will happen to you. Bad, ugly awful things.
3. I was reading Mookieand he reminded me of a funny hand involving me and surf and an aborted HOY.
I have JQ in the cutoff and I call a small raise from surf. AAx comes off, check, check, check. Q on the turn check check bet by me. Smooth call, fold.
Surf checks again, and I attempt to hoy him but I miss by 100 chips leaving him with 101. Unfortunately i was betting into a made set. On the positive side, I inadvertantly invented the lol hoy. Best part is that surf used it again on the very next hand. We all had a hearty chuckle. You can thank me later for sharing.
In a deja-vu moment, I had scrapped my way back in the mook when CC and his mountian of chips joined the table. I had no notes, so this is a little fuzzy, but the blinds are 50/100 I think. CC raises up to ~1000 and I find Queens, we are both just a few seats behind the button. I put a few more chips on to discourage any callers and he CC hoy’s me. Leaving 2 chips – csquared, get it….
AAAAnyway. I go in the tank here. I cant see him risking half his stack on crap, then he says he will show me. ugh. I put him on AA KK AK or JJ. When he says he will show me, I have to consider the hammer, though I don’t know whether CC would play it. My mind races back to JUST LAST NIGHT when them bitches kicked my ass from the other side. I believe he wants a call here, and I just can’t lay the queens down. I suppose I can pat myself on the back for making a good read, he showed a sooted slick, and the bullet flops.
Thats poker baby.
I wasn’t terribly motivated to play the WWDN last night, but wanted to try and follow up on a good win from MATH. I was chipping up fairly nicely until Hacker59 shows up at the table with a pocket full of queens. I laid down AK to an all in on a ragged flop (he showed queens). Then called a second time getting beaten by the bitches again. Such is life.
I added the otis code on the side, if I knew how to add a file to blogger I’d post a link, but you can view my source and pick the code out there. Do a search for FeedBurner.

I really was lost when the queen hit here. S.t.B was playing like mid-pairs here. When he raises my 350 bet, I have 500 left and no chance in my mind. I think I played my hand like A(KJQ), so I’m either dead to a kicker or a set in my mind. I eventually make the crying call hoping he’s betting a missed set or Ax. I think I got really lucky this hand.
I had to laugh here:

Presto here was awesome. I wanted GScott out of the hand preflop, dunno why he calls with A8o here, but I’m glad he did and my set was well hidden.
Last one.
Miami Don was stealing even more often than I was. I laid down AK against him just a few hands prior. He told me he had 33.

First of all, I knew I wanted to see a flop here, if any hi cards come out, I can be done and conserve. Anything else I will go to war against most likely. Miami thought I was capable of laying down a big pair there or he thought I was drawing. Either way, I felt fairly sure this was my hand from the beginning. I don’t think I misplayed the Jacks at all. Don wasn’t so sure.
MiamiDon said, “you got me skidoo”
MiamiDon said, “although ballsy call with only JJ”
I got a big pot with a flopped nut flush and another when I 2-paired my JT.
Eventually Don caught back up and took Sox out, when we got even heads up, he offered a deal and I took it. It was late enough for me. We actually played pretty hard for a few hands, him taking on the AG roll again, whittling me down. I evened up again w/AQ on a scary board, but I could never get a lead on the DON. I made a stand with a flopped 2-pair waffles hand(24o) vs a flopped heart flush….oh well.
I hadn’t intended on playing the hoy last night, however I logged on about 20-30 min before it started and made a deal with myself. If I could make the $20 on a cash table then I would have permission to play the hoy. About 5 minutes before the tourney, I limped with 77 into an unraised pot. The flop comes 7A4 with two hearts. I cold call a half-pot bet and call and the 4 comes down. Lead better takes another stab and I push. He has A4 and is dominated. So I join the MATH.
I ended up taking Firecond. Don and I made a deal when even, so we battled for a bit before I went down with 2-pair vs. a flopped flush.
I’m going to go through the hand histories and pick out a few to discuss in a bit. I’m sure you can hardly wait.
I sure was feeling frisky last night. More than usual, now I can see a pattern forming, maybe I’ll actually do something about it.
I had a little too much fun in the mook last night. I played the tourist 2 times in the span of minutes. both times I got my money in with a set of sevens, to get beat by a flush. I felt like I had a pretty good grasp of the table. I just got a little too squirly. I think this is what happened in the WWDN as well. I hit a good string of cards and pots, and expect the trend will continue.
My erratic play spilled over to the other tables as I was at one time up 100 at PS and down 50 at Titan. I ended up down 20 at titan and up 30 or so at PS
Can’t sneeze at the results since I was playing terribly loose agg.
Also if Poker Tracker keeps telling me to stay at .50/1 9 handed, why can’t I listen?
Simple, I’m an action donkey who likes to clickey the buttons and see the little chippies move across the table.
I’m playing like waffles….make it stop.
My first hand. Again.

Played great in the WWDN last night. Early on I scratched out a straight vs drewspop’s set. I used my chips well I think, taking out smaller stacks with slight edges and stealing a little more than usual. I was chipleader for a good bit of time.
Down to 4 tables, I decide to tighten up a little too late as I moved down to ~8th position. The hand that broke me was my A9o vs 99. It was a questionable call, I agree. But at the time I felt I had the odds to call. I didn’t take notes of the hand since I was 3 tabling at the time (dummy).
I get my ace on the flop and the case nine comes on the river. Justice prevails I guess. I was near last place and didn’t recover. Now I can’t even remember the hand I went out on (13th). I think AJo vs a small pair. I was very disturbed by the way I played towards the end and my inability to adjust. I was just on cruise control for too long I guess.
What’s weird is that when I switch to a more conservative style, I get killed. I guess I don’t know how to play quality hands and pick off steals.
I might try to play the mook tonight if I get enough work done. I have lots of crap to do if I’m going to move in the next 6 weeks.
Kudos to KAT for making 3rd from next-to-last when I went out.
Played in Hoy’s ‘home game last night.
My highlight was playing the hammer and getting the hammer flop. Surf couldn’t complete his draw and I got 2 pair…awesome.
Then I donk off about 3/4 of my chips with TT vs JJ. Final hand I demonstrate the Hoy for someone with AJo.. Hoy himself raises with 77. I flop the J but he completes a runner runner runner straight. UNPOSSIBLE.
Meanwhile I fail to money in a $10 rebuy at Titan (only used the add-on) I never really get any cards. I push with something stupid to get ousted by the tourist. ….ugh. I know I should crush this competition, so I’ll play some more there tonight. I’ve done well on the cash games there, but have given $ back on the tourneys.
So I’m about to hit the sack, but I’m waiting on my new iPod to update. I fire PS back up and troll for bloggers. I find jjok, slb, and Waffles playing 10 handed and watch them awhile. The chat was hilarious as slb and waffles were tapping the glass. Several players were trading jabs, donk, moron, etc donkalarious.
Anywho, after jjok busts out with a beautiful play of the hammer. (i told you not to try it at home) I decide to join in the fray.
First hand I’m dealt AQo…being new to the table I check.
Thanks to waffles for saving the hand.

…interesting play. I must admit it was a little hard to call TPTK there, but given the way the hand came out, I was only afraid of the straight draw.
Needless to say, I decided to call it a nite after donking a few bucks back to the table. Nowhere to go but down after doubling up the first hand you play.
