Tonight instead of going out i decided to play some poker instead. Im pretty sure i didnt miss anything to exciting in crazy port huron and i doubt i will get to play very much this weekend so i figured it was a good idea. I only managed to play for around 4 hours on fulltilt and pokerstars. I started off by playing 4 tables on pokerstars (3, 5/10nl and a 3/6nl) and finished off my session by playing 2, 5/10nl tables on full tilt. I didnt really pick up any big pots today but was still able to put up some ok numbers on both sites. For some strange reason both of the websites were pretty dead today and there werent many games going like there usually is. I hope it was just a slow day and that we arent starting to see the effects of neteller shutting down to the u.s. customers. Anyways i dont really have much more to say about todays play so here are some hands from today and im out. I might be going to michigan state tomorrow to see the crazys so if i dont post anything check back saturday or sunday.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848258 - normally i wouldnt check the flop here but i was positive he had jj/qq/kk and hoped he would hit something on the turn. The K was a perfect card obviously and theres just no way hes getting away from the hand now.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848267 - here i decide to play my set very slowly. I just call the turn to make it look like im on a draw with a hand like j10 or diamonds and i am really hoping a blank hits the river. The 6c is the perfect card because it didnt hit either of the draws i would be on so now i over bet the river to make it look like i missed and am trying to steal the pot. Once i bet he called immediately so the play worked perfect. Im not saying to slow play but sometimes in certain spots you have to in order to get maximum value out of your hands.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848275 - here i just get outflopped once i make the continuation bet of 110 on the flop and he calls i am done with the hand. Im pretty sure he had ak here.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848280 flopping quads and actually making money on the hand. I think that the river bet was perfect even though it made it look obvious that i had the quads he still called and that is what you want out of a bet like that. I think if i bet like 160 i probably dont get called but who knows with this guy because i wouldve thrown my 77s away on the turn.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848287 - here i am pretty sure this guy has a big hand raising in the small blind and i have the perfect hand to bust a big hand. The flop is really good for me it gives me an open ended straight draw so i could raise but i am positive i will get re raised all in so i just call the 140 in hopes of hitting. I know if i hit the 10 or the 6 i am going to bust him so im getting huge implied odds which means i am really calling the 140 with the expectation of winning 1k if i hit my draw. This guy was a calling station and i know if i turn the 6 or 10 all the money will get in the middle because hes not folding his kk or whatever he had. Unfortunately i missed the turn and i just cant continue anymore with this hand after he bets the turn.

Day # 37/yesterdays session/ i hate omaha
I dont really feel like posting anything so this is going to be very short. I only played poker for about 2 hours yesterday and had some pretty good results in the short time. I played a couple short stacked guys heads up on fulltilt and busted both of them for about 600. I also played a couple tables of 5/10 nl on stars and didnt really pick up any big hands but i was able to grind out a nice profit of about 800. So i quit playing so i could drink some beer and watch the wings game and Lost but after those were over i stupidly decided to play some omaha. This was a bad idea because i pretty much ended up losing all of my profit on the day. I played 5/10 omaha and of course i made a sick call on this guy, got all in with the best hand, and of course got rivered for about 1k. So i guess it wasnt really a bad idea to play drunk because i didnt do anything stupid i just got unlucky so thats ok i guess. Anyways im not sure if im going to play tonight or go out so check back later im out.
Daily total- 295.87 (yesterday) sucks i was up about 1500 at one point yesterday too.

Day # 36....
Today was a really good day for me especially in poker. I was able to put together around a 7 hour session and was able to put up some good numbers on both stars and full tilt. Pokerstars started off pretty rocky and really stayed that way the whole time i played there. It seemed like every time i bet i was getting raised, every time i called i was losing, and every time i bluffed i was getting called. I wasn't really getting much going but luckily i was able to win a couple big pots which allowed me to have a winning session and sometimes that's all it takes. I'm not happy with my play at all today on pstars but the results are nice for really playing bad and running bad today. Full tilt was pretty much a roller coaster ride today. I played 2 tables of 5/10 nl and the tables were really playing pretty weak like they usually are. The reason i say it was a roller coaster is because i was up like 1500, then all of a sudden down 500, and finally i was able to get on a nice run before i logged off. The caliber of play on ft is so much weaker than on pstars it is amazing. Like i said before i really think i can make some serious money in the 5/10 on full tilt just as long as my hands hold up. Which with full tilt you never know whats going to happen when you get your money all in as a favorite, Full tilt has way more bad beats than on pokerstars its sick. Anyways i am starting to ramble on again so i am going to get some sleep so here are some hands from today's play and I'm out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841887 - bad timing.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841891 - Almost threw my mouse off the wall when the Q hit the turn because i had him on qq.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841895 - I was calling this bet on the river even if the spade didn't come. His big bet on the turn is where i realized he was running a bluff. I couldve raised the turn and put it all in there but i really had him on nothing and if a blank hit the river i am calling whatever he bets.
Fulltilt hands
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841900 - good call by me here on the flop but of course he hits the turn but i manage to catch back up on the river and win the pot.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841903 - really shocked when he folded the river here. The only reason i just called the turn was to save 200 if i missed but he didn't have the big hand i thought he did and he said after he had ak.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841907 - here i make a misread and it costs me money on the river. I had him on a heart draw so i checked the river hoping he would realize the only way he can win is to bluff but i was wrong and he had 2 pair. So i couldve got some more out of him on the river but probably not much more maybe another 200 tops. I am really surprised he didn't raise this up on the flop because if i limped with a hand like aa/kk he has me crushed.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841914 - no clue how my aa dodged all this guys outs.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841915 - sick thing about this hand is the other guy who folded on the flop had qq so my aces would've got smacked again. Luckily this guy wasn't a total idiot and realized he was beat on the flop.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841916
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841918 - here i was 100% sure i had the best hand on the river but i don't know what this guy was doing here. I had been playing a lot of hands so it wasn't like i was playing tight but i guess he had me on JJ or something?????? interesting.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841919 - thought he was stealing but he must have had like 99/10 10 and the K allows me to represent ak on the flop which he probably has me on.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841920 - this guy was clueless and as u see he donates to me.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841921 - played this so slow in order to fire a big bet out on the river but the J was the absolute worst card to come. I just call now because i cant fire out a big bluff here because he wont call with that board ,but if a 2 comes off or something i come over the top for like 200 more.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841922 - terrible play here by me on the river, after i almost check the turn i end up talking myself into calling the turn and the river. horrible play.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841924 - I have him on exactly qj here and i know he doesn't fold if i push the flop so i call to see if i can hit the turn and i did kind of. The 6 now gives me 4 more outs to hit the straight so I'm getting about the right odds to call the 200 more, if he has 3 more i have to fold here.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841927 - this hand was really weird because i had almost like this 6th sense telling me to check the flop and just call him down here. I just had this weird feeling he had a big hand and he ended up having aces here and i got off really cheaply in this spot. If i couldve somehow folded the turn or the river it would've been amazing but a LOT of players lose way more money in this spot. They say sometimes poker players have a 6th sense and i could definitely feel it here, spooky haha.

Day # 35
Today i had a lot of running around to do and didn't get to play barely any poker. I started playing and within like an hour of playing i just realized that i was in no mood to play. I played 2 5/10nl tables and one 25/50nl table on stars, thats right i said 25/50 haha. I was waiting to get on another 5/10 table and i noticed that the 25/50 table looked extremely weak so i sat down there instead. I only played up there for about a half hour so i didn't really get involved in any big pots while playing there. I only played for a half hour because after like only 15 minutes of playing there like 3 of the top players on stars/online decided to join the table so i figured i should quit. Although I did manage to make a little bit of a profit for not really playing at all today. I am planning on putting together a 6+ hour session tomorrow so check back to see how that goes. So that pretty much sums up my poker today so here are some hands from today and I'm out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?838947 -standard result when i have aces.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?838948 -I really wished i would've bet the turn here instead of checking but my plan was to check raise but he didn't fall for the bait.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?838953
http://www.pokerhand.org/?838954 - Here i really messed up by betting the river. I knew he had absolutely nothing and shouldve checked the river to try and get him to bluff again. My tiny 250 bet was supposed to look like a freeze bet to get him to come over the top but i think the right play would've been to check again. I knew he didn't have aa/kk/qq or he would just check the river after me so the only way i would've made more money was to allow him to try and bluff one last time.

Day # 34
I am pretty tired so this is going to be a pretty short post. I played in the Sunday tournament and finished like 830th or something which was good enough to get in the money but was really a waste of time. I think i made like 60 bucks or something for the 4 hours of time i put into the tournament. I was just going to quit after the tournament but decided to sit down at a 5/10nl table and a 10/20nl table and it was a pretty bad idea. I lost like 2k pretty quick, my hands weren't holding up, so i decided to cut my losses after a while. With that being said I'm calling it a night and hope to rebound back tomorrow after having like 3 losing days in a row. Here are a few hands from today and I'm out.

Day # 32/33
It was a long weekend so i didnt have anytime to post anything but i did play a little friday and saturday so i am posting about it now. I only played for like an hour on friday and nothing really happened in that hour to talk about. Saturday was a different story, i played for like 3 hours,was playing really aggressive and within the first hour i was down about 2k. Instead of quiting i decided to slow down and try to get back to even but came up short after the 3 hours. It is sunday right now and im playing in the big 215 buy in tournament on stars so i hope to at least cash in it. There are like 3000 players left out of the 6500, im in 1600th position out of the 3000 so if i double up i should be able to at least cash. The tourney pays the top 900 players and first prize is 190,000. With that being said i am going to get back to the tourney so check back later tonight to see how i did and when i am 190,000 richer haha.
