Day 18/ another unproductive day..

Today pretty much went like the last 3 days in terms of poker, i wake up thinking i want to play then after about an hour I'm just not feeling it. I know its due to the nice weather but I'm going to have to try and get used to it since ill be living in Vegas in a few months. I played for around 2 hours today on all 3 sites with some mixed results. On bodog i was 2 tabling the 5/10nl games and just couldn't get anything going so i just decided to cut my losses of a few hundred dollars. Next i moved onto stars where there was only 1 5/1o game going but a really soft looking 25/50 table so i decided to go with the 25/50nl. I feel comfortable playing at these stakes but the games are usually sick hard so i tend to stay away from them but that was not the case today. I was playing fairly tight (mainly due to the lack of cards) but picked up a few pots here and there and was able to win around 1200 or something in the hour i was there. Unfortunately i was also playing a super soft 5/10 game where these calling stations would call me down every time with nothing and i ended up losing a good amount in this game. I don't mind being the aggressor and having players calling me down all the time but playing this role means you need to eventually pick up a few hands which just wasn't happening, so after the 5/10 debacle i was up only a few hundred on stars. Last but not least was full tilt where i played a 10/20nl heads up table and a 3/6 plo table. I usually don't play heads up tables but i was just looking through the lobby and noticed that the 2 players in the heads up match looked horrible so i joined the waiting list. The main reason why i decided to play the 10/20 was because both players were only in for 1k instead of the full 2k and most the time when a player buys in for not the full amount they are usually a bad player. The plo games were full of bad players as most plo games are but i wasn't really able to get much going in the game so i think i ended up finishing about even in plo or down a few hundred. Anyways that sums up my couple hours of play today but check back tomorrow and I'm out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1156037 - only pot from 25/50 worth posting. I really hate my check on the turn here too i don't know why i checked. This guy was a really bad player and would probably call me down with any ace so that makes my check even worse. Also I'm assuming he had some hand like j10/jq and my check allowed him to draw for his straight for free.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1156033 - 3 handed and i just saw this same guy get caught bluffing playing a weak hand this same way. I guess i couldve got away from it but with our stacks and thinking this guy is a pretty weak player i don't know how i feel about this one.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1156041 - the 10/20 heads up hand where I'm a huge luck box and ruin this guys day haha. No but really i thought with his big raise pre he had like ak or some mid pair so i decide to push all in here.and if he has ak i have outs. When i pushed i was pretty confident that if i was called i would have any 2, 4, or any club as an out and that's if he has ak and even calls, which unfortunately he did. River 2 gg ship the 1k haha this guy sat out at the table for about 4 minutes just talking shit to it was pretty funny.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1156052 - only omaha pot that was of any significance

Daily total- 925.98 (801.44 FT) (204.94 Bodog) (329.48 stars)

Bodog bankroll- 4,550.34 this is lame hopefully i can get this to at least like 7k by the end of the 30 days

Getting excited for Vegas.

With the world series starting June 1st it is completely nuts out there right now and I wish i was there. I am going out there on the 20th for like 5 days to play in a few of the no limit events. There is a nl 1500 tourney the 21st and another 1500 nl tourney on the 23rd which I'm playing in for sure but still don't know about the 21st. I just think with the time change and it being our first night there it is going to be impossible to wake up by noon. I'm not really a tournament player but figure what the hell i might as well win a tournament while im out there haha. I was out there last year during the wsop and the cash games are absolutely sick, i cant wait. My 2 friends (billy t and hodge for those who know me) that I'm going to be living with when i move out there at the end of July just moved out there Sunday. We will be looking at places while i am out there and i hope we can find something nice close to the strip and possibly sign a lease. I guess once i win the tournament on the 23rd ill probably just have to buy a house and stay for a little longer than the 5 days. As for poker today i only played for about an hour. I played some 3/6 pot limit omaha and some 5/10 H.o.r.s.e on stars today with a little success and one big mistake. I really think that when i play omaha i need to be totally focused on the table I'm on or i will play shitty. Well today i figured it would be a good idea to play omaha while playing horse and a tournament at the same time, not a good idea. I still ended up winning but lost a huge pot when i thought i had the nuts but didn't and it was due to me not paying attention. This makes me mad because i never make mistakes like these and when I'm playing omaha i should not be playing 3 completely different games at the same time. I bought a new program today that shows my omaha hands so i can put those up on the site now along with the nl hands. Anyways I've been slacking the past few days on my play so I'm going to try and get a good 5+ hour session in tomorrow. So check back tomorrow night to see how that went and I'm out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1153368 - i didn't really want to discuss any of these but this one needs to be explained. I make my standard raise preflop get a few callers and the short stack in the BB pushes in for 70 more. There is a good amount of money in there already and i don't mind my hand being up against an over pair. So i decide to re raise and try to isolate the all in player so we are heads up. Instead the guy who was behind me pushes all in for around 200 more so now its 200 to win around 850. I obviously didn't want to put this much money in preflop with this hand but theres no way i can fold for the 200 more in this spot.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1153383 - here is the hand that i WAS mad about. I simply made a rookie error by mis reading the board and thinking i had the nut flush. That really pisses me off because i cant even recall the last time i did something like this. But looking back at the hand history i think we probably get it all in anyways so i think it still would've been the same result.

Daily total- 903.84

Bodog bankroll- 4755.28 ( didn't play today)

Day 17/ yesterdays play

I wouldn't really consider yesterdays play a session but i did make a little over a k. I'm saying that it wasn't a session because i only played for around a hour on bodog just 2 tabling. I played a 3/6 table and a 5/10 table with some pretty decent results for the short amount of time that i played. I was playing pretty well but lost a pretty big pot right before i quit(nothing i hate more) where i laid down qq on a 983. I'm pretty sure i was beat but i just cant stand getting involved in big pots before quitting, win or lose. After my mini session i went to our Tuesday night game at a friends house and was pretty disappointed this week with the game. Since i was out in Vegas and he just got back from Florida i haven't played in the game in almost a month and was kind of looking forward to it. You might remember me saying it was the best home game i have ever played in, which it is, but this week was kind of dead. Usually we play from about 8pm til around 5 am with there being over 1k in the pot by the end of the night but yesterday we finished at midnight, lame. Still the sickest home game of all time but it was just an off night and i think i ended up making like 20 bucks which i guess i cant complain because i was down about 70 to start. Midnight is just to early to quit playing so being the degenerates that we are, a buddy and I went back to my place and played a 100 H.O.R.S.E. cash game. It was a pretty back and forth match for a good 3 hours until we got it all in during plo where i flopped the straight and he had nut flush draw. Somehow i managed to avoid a club hitting and the match was over with me ending up around 120 on the night. Well i think I'm starting to babble so I'm going to wrap this up. I'm probably going to get a session in later so check back to see how that goes and I'm out.

Yesterdays total- 1,149.26

Bodog bankroll- 4755.28

Day 16/Bodog now owns me!!!

With it being so nice out this weekend i didn't really play a lot of poker but when i did play it didn't go very well. I don't think that i was playing bad i just ran into some big hands, had to make so big lay downs, and when i got the money in the middle with the best hands they weren't holding up. As the title says bodog now officially owns me, not really but i did have a bad weekend on there but i guess i was due since i don't think I've even had a losing session on there yet. Also i lost 300 on game 6 of the pistons series where they were eliminated by titty or whatever the fuck Gibson's name is. Losing the 300 sucks but i think listening to everybody ride lebrons cock for the next 2 weeks is going to be worse than losing the money. Anyways I'm starting to ramble so here are some hands from the past few days and I'm out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1144996 - here is the one hand from the weekend that I'm still not sure of whether i like the way i played it or not. This guy had been raising my blinds a lot so i make a standard re raise and obviously wasn't hoping for a call then re raise. I'm pretty sure the sb has a mid pair once he pushes for his last 80 but am pretty unsure of the buttons hand. I hit a great flop for my hand but I'm not exactly in love with it. Once the bb calls the 200 on the flop then bets so weakly on the turn I'm thinking 2 things, he has like ak and is betting so weak in hopes to check the river behind, or he has a monster. I put him on ak mainly due to the fact that he didn't re raise me preflop so i decide to make a smallish looking raise to represent a hand like qqq/kkk but it was just bad timing. Obviously once he re pushes the turn i know i now need a club and i don't get there, gg 1k. The way this hand was played out was pretty weird so I'm unsure of whether i like the way i played. If he does have a hand like ak here i think i get him to lay it down it was just a bad read and i guess played well by this guy? even though i hate his play of just calling my re raise because he now was giving the sb sick odds to call to and playing KK against 2 players just is a bad play in this situation. Anyways i guess he has the money so he played it perfect....

Weekend total- 3,128.84 (1,104.33 stars) (2,024.51 bodog) obviously after i open my mouth Friday about not having a losing session in a while the poker gods slap me down haha.

Goal/bodog bankroll- 3,606.02
