FUCKKKKKKKK

The title of this quick post pretty much sums up my play over the past few weeks. I really feel like I've been playing pretty good poker but i just cant find a way to book a winning session. This sucks because i really wanted to put up some good numbers before going home for thanksgiving but its still early in the month and hopefully i can turn things around. I don't think that I've been playing my A+ game, but at the same time i feel like I've been playing pretty well. I just cant find a way to get any of my hands to hold up. Ive taken a sick amount of bad beats this past week and its just getting more frustrating by the day. It just seems like every time i pick up a hand I'm already thinking to myself "here we go again" instead of thinking about how I'm going to maximize the value out of it. I put in a session at the Wynn yesterday which ended up in me just getting up and leaving after i got it all in on a flop of AK8 with KK and the idiot with A8 obviously hitting an A on the river. The game was so weak it was actually amusing but after flopping a set for the 5th time and losing all 5 i figured it wasn't going to be my day. I haven't played much plo this month but have managed to lose like 2.5k and for no limit I'm only down about 700 which i think is amazing for how many beats ive taken. Its really frustrating to play when u are running bad but i feel i can statistically only lose so many hands before skill starts to outweigh luck again. Im going to play at the venetian tonight just for a change of scenery and I've also had the itch to play in a tourney so i might play in the 175 buy in to change things up. Oh , almost to mention my latest final table meltdown which happened at binions about a week ago. Binions was running a mini world series last month with different tournaments daily with 200 buy in. Unfortunately i didn't find out about this until like the last week of the month so i only played in 1 of the tournaments. I played in the 6 handed 200 buy in tourney which had about 140 people and paid the top 12. http://www.pokerpages.com/tournament/result19588.htm- here is a link to my disappointment. I was playing really well and the other players were pretty bad so i made the 6 handed final table only to come up short once again and bust out in 4th place for like 1900 or something. The 1900 was okay but as I've said in all my previous posts i just want to win one of these stupid things. Ive won/lost pots worth more than the first prize money but it doesn't even come close to comparing to how shitty you feel after making a final table and not closing the deal.

In other news i finally decided to pick up a new laptop so now i can play poker without having to be cooped up back in my room. I got an HP and I'm really liking it so far. I was pretty pissed at first because the wireless Internet wouldn't work but rather than take it to best buy (more on these clowns in a second)to pay them 50 bucks to push a button i decided to try and figure it out myself. I knew it had something to do with the Internet settings but just couldn't figure out exactly what it was. Luckily pocketfives.com is such a great site that if you have a question about anything you can get the answer to it in about 10 minutes so that's what i did and i was on the net in no time.

The best buy here is the biggest compilation of scum i have ever seen. As soon as you walk in the door its like you are entering a circus or like a party at a trailer park. Ive never been to either of these but I'm assuming its the same as the best buy here. First I'm trying to get some help/ask some questions about a few different laptops which ended up in me telling the employee about the computer and this "new crazy" technology known as HDMI. I'm asking him what the difference between these 2 models are and he actually says "i don't know the only difference i see is that this one is 200 more." I then had to pretty much figure it out myself and find out that the actual difference was twice as much memory and it was HDMI compatible. I point this out to the guy and show him how there is a hdmi input in the one i ended up getting and not one in the other and the guy had never heard of hdmi haha. Im sure this isn't common knowledge to everyone but for someone who works at best buy in the computer dept. i would think this would be pretty standard. The guy was absolutely clueless and I'm assuming that if you have a pulse you can work in the computers department there. After finally deciding on which computer i want to go with its time to actually pay for the thing at the geek squad(should be called circus show) counter. There are about 7 employees all standing around talking to each other doing absolutely nothing. There were 2 people in line in front of me and what shouldve taken about 5-10 minutes ended up in me sitting there pissed for about a half hour. It was like they were there to hang out with each other instead of doing any kind of work. The 3 of us are standing in line not being helped while 7 of best buys retards are in the corner just talking/laughing it up like they are hanging out at a bar or something. One of the retards actually yells across the room to a guy in another dept. to go turn on some music and turn it up. The guy at the front of the line then says to the group of uselessness how about you forget about the music and come over here and help us. The kid didn't really seem to enjoy this comment but what could he really do i mean it is what they are being paid for. So after that fiasco which caused me to miss the first 45 minutes of the Sunday million(went out in 1100th place,gay) i was finally able to get out of that gong show and come to the conclusion that i will never return to that best buy again. This is the 3rd time I've gone there and each time ive left the store thinking what a bunch of idiots so I'm done with them.

While i was there i also picked up Seinfeld season 8 and Guitar here 3 which might be the most addicting game ever. I planned on going to play poker that night but decided to play the game for a few minutes and ended up playing for like 3 hours and not leaving the apartment haha.

Well this has got to be a lot longer than i expected so I'm going to finish this up. I was planning on putting up some pictures but i think my camera is down in my car so i will do that in the next post which might be later tonight. Hopefully it wont be another rant about bad beats but we will see. Anyways check back later to see how things went and I'm out.
