Goal has been crushed. Going for 25k now this month.

I actually reached the goal yesterday afternoon but didn't want to post because i didn't know what i should do now that its been reached. I have decided I'm going to continue with the goal for this month but I'm going to up the ante and try to reach 25k. It only took me 10 days to reach the 15k which is pretty absurd because i really haven't been playing that much. Ive only been playing like 1-2 hour sessions online and have only played a few days live during the goal. At this point i feel like I'm free rolling because even if i slowdown and end up making 15 this month that is still a nice amount of money for playing a game.

We went bowling last night at the Lucky strike in the Rio and man did i suck haha. Luckily for me everyone else was bowling as bad as me so i didn't look like a bum. The first game i barely broke 100 haha. I really couldn't believe how bad i was playing because i was about 7-8 beers deep at this point and this is usually when I'm in the zone. Now I'm not saying I'm a good bowler but barely breaking 100 is horrible, i can usually shoot at least around 140-150. The bowling alley was pretty nice but for some reason they decided that the heat needed to be turned on. It was literally about 90 in the bowling alley and everyone including the workers were complaining but for some dumb reason the casino controls the heat in there and not the bowling alley itself. By the time the 2nd game had started everyone was agitated from the heat and just wanted to finish. All in all it was a pretty fun time drinking/bowling but i feel like the heat really put a damper on the whole event.

We grabbed some food while we were there which included something new I've never had or even heard of before, fried macaroni and cheese haha. How disgusting is that. Its hard to see why the country is having an obesity problem. Lets take some normal food that probably isn't good for you but not horrible and fry it up haha. I tried a few of these little fat balls and they weren't that bad but the whole idea of it was kinda gross and this is coming from someone who its pretty unhealthy.

I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow that i have been putting off all week so it should be a pretty hectic day. My schedule for tomorrow-
wake up by noon= gross, tons of laundry, get my car looked at(convertible top wont go up), clean car inside/out, get hair cut, shop for some clothes for the weekend(probably do this instead of laundry),get new Laptop and whatever else from bestbuy, clean room, and try to squeeze a few hours of poker in. I'm tired from typing all this let alone having to wake up and do it all haha. We'll see how much of this i actually accomplish.

The Krazees(wirtz klan and lauren) are coming into town Thursday night for the weekend so I'm looking forward to that. It should be an interesting weekend to say the least and I'm sure i will have some pics to put up afterwards. Well this is getting really long so i just wanted to let u know whats up with the goal so keep checking back and here are a few hands from the past few days and I'm out.

Very lazy sunday with lots of football and poker....

I would say the title pretty much sums up my whole Sunday. I set my alarm to wake up by 1:30 so i would be able to register for the Sunday tournaments i wanted to play in. Unfortunately i had to go pick up my car at this same time so i wasn't able to play in any of the tournaments i wanted to. I did sign up for the big Sunday 215 though and that was the main one i wanted to play in. After missing the whole first hour of the tournament picking up my car i came back right after the first break and still had a decent amount of chips. I chipped my way up pretty quickly and appeared to be cruising along until i went totally card dead. There were like 6000 people or something with it paying the top 900 and like 180,000 for first. I ended up finishing in like 420th place or something and quickly remembered why i hate tournaments. I played for like 4 hours to make like 600 when i couldve been playing some cash games. But i cant complain because if i keep getting into the money and playing well i hope eventually i will have that break through tourney. There was a full ring 10/20nl game going(which is rare lately) so i decided to sit for a while. I didn't really get too involved but was able to grind about 400 out of the game in about an hour. While i was playing i noticed that the Bears and Chargers were both under dogs in today's games so i decided to put money on them. I did a 120 dollar parlay to win 480 and both teams played pretty well today and i won the bet. Its pretty amazing how much more exciting the football games are to watch when you have a little bit of money on them. There was no way i would've sat and watched the packers bears game if i didn't have money on it, but it was actually a pretty exciting game and the bears D really stepped up big time in the 2nd half. There weren't many PLO games going but i did play for about 20 minutes and was able to pick up a couple nice pots.

I tried figuring out this logitech universal remote i bought along time ago but gave up on it fairly quickly. Your supposed to be able to just hook it up to your computer with a usb and it should work but they want all these codes and i just gave up. Ill probably try and figure it out tomorrow because it sounds/looks like it will be pretty sweet once its all set up. Here it is-

Curb was pretty decent tonight compared to some of the other episodes from this season. Some times though it seems like they are really trying to hard and i don't know how much longer this show will last, which is too bad because its one of my favorites. The red wings play tomorrow night(during the day here) and i still haven't got the NHL package so i will probably order that tomorrow so i can start watching the games. Anyways this is getting way too long so here are some hands from today and I'm out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1563703 -owned
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1563705 - owned again, haha not really but being heads up and him only having like 500 theres no way i was going anywhere with that flop.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1563709 - set over set, pretty sick for him

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1563710 - owned, haha another nice set up for me

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1563713 - The one bad hand i played. I went from folding instantly when he re raised the pot, to talking myself into him having a weaker 6 with a straight draw. I played this horrible and definitely deserved to lose. No way i shouldve been in there once he re potted.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1563720 only nl hand worth posting.

Hangovers suck/ days 5 and 6

Its currently 330 am on Saturday night and am still feeling the after effects of Friday nights drinking. I feel like an old man haha. We were out drinking until around 8am this morning and there was just no way i could go out and do it again tonight so i stayed in. I didn't have much of a headache hangover, it was more of a my whole body feels shitty and eating/drinking anything sounds so gross. It feels pretty weird not doing anything on a Saturday night and i have to say the TV line up for Saturday nights is horrible. I guess I've never really watched TV on a Saturday night in like the past 5 years and its absolutely horrible. I really don't know how Saturday Night Live is still on the air. Whoever rights the jokes and sketches for the show should be fired.

Friday started off with me losing some money online during the day but ill get to that in a bit. After sitting around all day i decided to get ready and head to the Wynn to pre drink and make some money to pay for the night. I played for about 3 hours making like 450 or something and got a good buzz going before heading over to Tangerine where we were supposed to have a table/bottle. I must have been a little more drunk at this point than i thought because we didn't end up getting a bottle and i cant remember at all why we didn't. I'm actually glad we didn't because i don't like grey goose and i could keep drinking my kettel one. So after some drinks/shots it was probably around 4 in the morning and we decided to head to a strip club. We ended up going to 2 different ones which i cant remember the names of but the 2nd one we went to was filthy haha. All i can remember is this kid we were with buying me a lap dance from this like 45 year old bag and enjoying it haha, i was kind of DRUNK at this point. We mustve been there for a long time because Hodge said today that we didn't get back to the apartment until like 8 in the morning. If you have seen Varsity Blues where they are drinking at the strip club all night and walk out when its all sunny , that is exactly what this was like. So that was my weekend and now onto a little poker talk.

I knew as soon as i posted about needing a new goal i was going to jinx myself and sure enough i did. I didn't really lose a ton but i was on a nice little run and i had to go open up my big mouth and ruin it. Friday i played a few hours of PLO again and couldn't really get anything going. Every time i would get it all in my hands wouldn't hold up or if i needed to hit a draw i would completely miss. Pot limit Omaha is a drawing game and if you aren't hitting its going to be a bad session, even more so with how i play. So Friday i lost about 1k(-1500 online and +450 live) but i wasn't too mad because i felt i was playing well but just couldn't get any hands to hold up. Today i felt pretty shitty and wasn't planning on playing at all but with their being nothing on TV to watch i started to get bored and decided to play a few tournaments. I played in a 160 satellite and a 77 dollar 6 handed tournament. The satellite tournament was for a seat into the 10,000 dollar tournament in Aruba in January but i went out pretty early. There were only 60 players in it but i got all in with JJ vs kq and of course he hit a king on the river. The 6 handed tournament was a different story. There were like 240 players i think with first prize being 3900 and it paid out the top 30 spots. I ended up going out in 8th place just 2 spots shy of the final 6 table and made like 350. Yeah the 350 is nice, but unless you final table any of these tournaments you're not going to make any real money. There is nothing more frustrating than playing for 4 hours only to bubble the final table and only make 350 when i couldve been playing cash games during this time. I did decide to play PLO for about 2o minutes and put together a nice little win on the day. I think I'm going to play in some of the big Sunday tournaments tomorrow so hopefully some of the tourney success Ive had over the past few days will carry over to tomorrow. Its getting pretty late so I'm going to wrap this up with a few hands from the past few days and check back tomorrow night to see how i did in the tourneys and I'm out.

Quick shout out to Sidney Crosby who is absolutely sick. Also the red wings are looking pretty good and i cant believe the Joe wasn't sold out the other day. If Joe Louis isn't selling out than the NHL and its popularity level is in serious trouble. Hopefully Gary bettman will stop acting like a retard and quit driving the NHL into the ground. I bought some tickets today to the red wings vs. blues game for when i go home for thanksgiving and i cant wait.
