pokers been pretty good as of late... i've decided it's tougher for me to play in the evening than it is during the morning and daylight hours... not sure why, but i do know the night time players seem to call everything if they have a piece or any type of a draw - even backdoor runner runner stuff... and there seems to be more mega multi-way hands too and it's tougher to out race these guys...

daylight i seem to get HU in most pots and a cbet seems to work more often... meh.


++++++++++++++++++++


as of late, i seem to be getting more of a kick out of obama and his crew...

taking over the auto industry... capping free market salaries... banning enhanced interrogation techniques... publicly speaking about releasing gitmo detainees... giving gitmo detainees "civil rights" to be tried within our civil courts... glad handing with hugo chavez... siding with liberal/social issues within our borders...

and all the while... north korea is detonating nuclear devices and threatening war on south korea while ahminejhad of iran continues to develop nuclear power...

where have all the reagan conservatives gone???

last night it hit me... i was up maybe 4+ BI's when i took it in the shorts multiple times within an hour or so... even pokerstoved the hands to see if it it might have been me not thinking right... nope... at worst i was at least an 85% favorite... the killer hand was getting it in with QQ against a JJ moron and an AK aggro player... there was an UTG bet and the LP 3 bet which i flatted then the aggro donk shoves over the top... i figured he was making a move... a Queen hits the flop for the set and then the turn brings a 10 for the boat and i'm yippee-skipping in a 300BB pot when the river pairs the flop Ace giving him a better boat... fer krissakes.

so i quit for a few hours and after fairgirl hits the sheets i open up 'stars again and win back a BI or so when i raise an AK and hit TPTK on a board of rags... SB fires into me on the flop and turn which i call giving him rope and i knew he'd fire the river... but the river brings a 4 card straight and he shoves... now i'd been telling myself i'd call the river and for a fleeting instant i thought he had the 8 for the straight but i insta-called a 3x pot shove and spewed off another stack... FUCK ME TO GODDAM TEARS!!!! LOL

i closed up shop on my next BB and went to bed but all i could think of was paying this moron off like i did.

gad i hate myself when i do shit like that....

later... gonna hit the tables for an hour or so then head over to Spearfish, SD where the rest of my kids have flown in for my daughters nursing graduation... haven't seen the others for close to two years now!

have a good weekend!

well last month i not only ran like dog shit, i played like dog shit... the month before that i was in God mode at poker stars and just about to move up, when the bottom fell out... now i wish i had moved up instead of "just two more buy-in's" and i'll make a permanent move... i began with a dab of money for blogger tourney's at 'stars then decided to do the chris "jesus" ferguson bankroll challenge and worked my way up to 40 BI's for 10nl... now i'm back at 20 BI's and that's after going on a small tear and rebuilding! LOL

last night after writing some reports for my new business with fairgirl out of town, i opened up 4 tables of 10nl at 'stars and felt like dog shit again... nothing was working... cards were cold... i felt stiff... uncomfortable... and the mouth breathers were in a mood to cold call every raise and 3 bet... shit heads... now i'm out of position, against three to four others in a raised pot that has every freaking conceivable draw hitting the flop... shit...

so after a number of rounds i unchecked the auto-post, hit the sack and watched High Stakes Poker on DVR until i fell asleep...

ever have that feeling while you're playing that NOTHING is going to work and the droolers in the blinds have open call stats of 60% or better with <20% fold BB to steal???

it just wasn't gonna happen...

this morning it continued but i played an hour and roughly 200+ hands and am only down a BI... bet my nut flush draw get called in two spots and check it down to lose to a pair of fours... what the fuck??? raggedy-assed flops with these morons you know someone hit a piece of it, but fourth pair??? maybe it's me being conditioned that these players this morning will call down with anything so don't give them the action?

but over on 'tilt my 25nl game has been pretty decent... i usually play a couple of hours on 'stars and if i'm running good, feeling good and the felt looks good, i like my chances! LOL

so right now i'm using the 10nl game as a bench mark to when i play at the 'tilt 25nl games and it seems to be working... now if i get back to 12 BI's for 25nl at 'stars i think i'll take a shot with my short bank roll there...

other than that i've been busy landscaping some investment property fairgirl and i picked up and need to finish off the back yard at our own place... i'm going to go work on the sprinklers in the backyard and drop in a french drain on the north side of the house... it sucks there as no sun hits it in the winter and the snow melt from the backyard gets held up by an ice dam on that north side and gets up on the foundation... so i'm putting in a drain to allow it to go below the snow drifts and ice dams so it stays relatively dry over there... then i need to sod, drop in plants and shrubs, sod and cap off the retaining wall i built last Fall...

yeah that's it... nothing much! ;-)

have a great day folks!

so life is a lot of fun... slinging cards and doing okay... in the process of launching a small business from home... and in general, getting a huge kick out of obama and the international scene.

over the past couple fo days i've been lurking in a thread about "gay marriage" and the miss usa incident... where consensus is some hottie mentions she's against gay marriage and a marriage should be between a man and a woman - more or less but that's the gist of it. perez hilton, a flaming gay d00d, takes her to task over it. now wtf is perez hilton doing judging a MISS USA pageant to begin with??? krissakes the guy likes to rim man-ass and if that's his preference, fine. i agree with his freedom of choice when it comes to ass rimmings... personally i prefer the ladies but hey that's me, right?

so i'm lurking in this thread when someone makes the statement:

"I don't mind gay married couples, because they function just as well as not gay married couples".

jeebus! i can see the next politically correct term coming down the pike now... "not gay married couples"... wtf???

no longer am i considered to be a "heterosexual" married coupled, i'm now considered to be a "not gay married couple"???

this shit has gots to stop! but where???

everyone is chastising "religion" and the "christian conservatives"... they protest JROTC in high schools but promote "gay awareness" clubs... they remove "Christmas" from calendars and in it's place put "Winter Season" or "Winter Holidays"...

the gays in cali got the 9th circuit court to pass laws approving of gay marriage as a minority... then the State puts it on the ballot and it's OVERWHELMINGLY voted down! so what happens??? the gays claim it's a "christian" thing and then go after the mexicans and black folks... come to think of it, if you want to speak about minorities, try being a black or mexican queer and see how well accepted you are in south central!

so the majority are "not gay" and a flamer is judging the miss usa pageant... what a fuckin' waste of a hot woman in a bikini contest...

summing this up... i applaud your willingness to pull back the foreskin and toot the flute, or rim a hairy turd cutter on a concrete worker... i even get the "i'm hot for a guy in a village people costume" if that's your thing... but why make it public??? outside of gym class or high school football locker room, i've never mentioned Amy or Linda, or what Debbie and I did out at the lake Junior year summer...

i don't wear a "Heterosexual Pride" patch or dress up and parade down the street for "awareness"... so STFU! live your life, play your flutes, ream your butts out if you want.... BUT FOR GAWDS SAKE I THINK MISS USA JUDGES SHOULD BE COLLEGE FRAT BOYS AND NOT FLAMING GAYS!

and please allow a "minority" miss usa pageant contestant the same right to speak her mind without fear of apprisals as you do with some dude who wants to dress as a flaming gay to parade down some san fransisco street with his troupe has.

perez hilton sucks ass, but we already knew that, right?

so over on 'tilt i've been a bit better than breakeven on the 25nl games... but my bankroll building venture on 'stars has taken a turn for the worse.

the last week has seen a serious cooler deck being pushed by a low front coming in from the north. swing advisories have been reported.

i did manage to stack off twice with QQ against players i shouldn't have... 12/8 with a 3 bet of 3%... then unders flop and what am i gonna do??? lay down a premium over pair to the board at 10nl??? lol

oh well...

still grinding away...

hit the ice yesterday and went to Lake DeSmet just outside of buffalo, wy and had a great day! sun was out, it wasn't -40 below wind chills and the cooler became full of rainbow trout as the last beer was removed...

i'm telling ya, if i could make a living as a fishing guide up here i would in an instant... i know some of you live in nice spots, but wyoming does rank up there quite a ways.

so you may have noticed i've once again slowed down on the postings... actually i've been somewhat busy, for me anyways... in the process of launching a small home inspection business here... running trains off and on but still basically furloughed (layed off) and on the bubble of coming back... work one week for a trip or two then back on the furlough boards... but right now i seem to be holding on a little longer than i have been... if i was a card player i'd be doing a yippee-skippee and stacking the ladies at 2/4 for a living lmao!!!! but i ain't since i have a few LEAKS i can't seem to shake but am learning how to deal with them...

basically, i WAY OVERPLAY premium pairs...

Rule #1 - if you get a ton of action or 4 bet large, chances are your premium pair is in jeopardy.

if you skipped the last line... here it is again:

Rule #1 - if you get a ton of action or 4 bet large, chances are your premium pair is in jeopardy.

earlier i posted about a 5+ BI downswing, and received a couple of emails (thanks fellers!), that sent me packing to the lake ice fishing for a "cooling off period"... now take Rule #1 into mind and here is this months graph so far...

the downswing happens right at the start and i won't go into the cheesy details, suffice it to say i was in a self-induced haze of god-modeness when the angels clipped my wings and sent me hurtling to the ground below... Rule #1.

it's taken a bit, but i've ground my way back to the plus side of things but in reality it should have never happened and i should be twice as profitable... but Rule #1 killed me. i hate losing too.

when i drop a BI it's like dropping two BI's to me... the one i lost and then the one i win to get back to even. so by playing stupidly and dropping 5 of them, in my mind i should be UP 10 BUY-IN'S!!! ;-)

hopefully the poker gods will smile on my humility and allow me to taste the sweet nectar of dragging pot after pot again... the last spike you see was a nice squeeze play that resulted in two min bettors calling and i flopped top set of nines against a bottom set (cooler) and a guy chasing a flush draw... i won.

thanks for he notes and comments and be sure to swing by Ten Mile and say hello... he puts a lot of work into his bloggersphere.
