Long night followed by a long day of nothing.

I didn't really plan on posting anything but I'm sitting here watching my roommate play guitar hero and figured what the hell. Just when i thought i was starting to get back into a some what normal sleeping schedule we ended up staying out partying last night until about 10 this morning. We had a few beers here before heading to Pure where we were supposed to have a table/bottle but that didn't really end up happening. We did end up getting right in for free with no waiting in line though and I'm kind of glad we didn't end up getting a table because it was actually kind of lame in there. It was still pretty busy/cool but compared to other times I've been there i guess it seemed lame because it wasn't jam packed full of people which i hate anyways. Travis Barker was supposed to be there last night but something came up i guess and he wasn't there, big loss. We ended up drinking there for a while and i think around 3 or 4 we decided to head over to this strip club called SIN. We ended up getting a free table/bottle from this kids girlfriend we were with and this is about the point where things got a little hazy. I ended up talking to this chick for what seemed like 85 hours and she wants me to teach her to play poker haha. I ended up getting her number but i don't remember her name or really what she looks like so i think that's about as far as its going to go but who knows. Theres nothing more disgusting than drinking all night and having to walk outside afterwards when its broad daylight out. Well that was a recap of last nights mess and my sleep schedule is now going to be fucked again thanks to it.

Today i woke up around 4 and immediately knew that i was going to accomplish absolutely nothing. I was still kind of drunk/ feeling weird from the night before so i decided to play in some tournaments because those don't really require much thought haha. I ended up playing in 3 tournaments total and cashed in 2 of them. I played in the 22+re buys, 50+5, and the Wednesday 300+20. I really feel like i shouldve cashed in all 3 of them but i got unlucky in the 22+re buys and wasn't able to cash in this one. I made pretty deep runs in both of the other tourneys but disappointingly finished 18th in the 50+5 for about $360 and busted 61st in the 300 for like $560, another waste of time.


While i was sitting around playing we watched probably the funniest stand up show i have ever seen. If you have on demand watch this show called Katt Williams : Pimp Chronicles and thank me later. Its by far the funniest thing I've seen in the past few years and actually almost had me in tears at one point. Also while i was sitting around we got a knock on the door and sure enough it was my xbox 360, thanks pokerstars haha. Pokerstars hasn't updated their frequent player points store http://www.pokerstars.com/fpp/store/ in a while so i decided to waste some points on a Nintendo Wii and this xbox. I really hope they put update their store with some more electronics because I've got like 200,000 points but i have ordered pretty much everything from there. Anyways this is getting pretty long so I'm going to wrap this up with a few pictures so check back tomorrow and I'm out.



Thank you pokerstars





When i opened up the fedex box that this xbox was in this game was floating around in it. Which is pretty cool because i only ordered the xbox and it didnt say anything about any games coming with it so it was a nice suprise. It was also a nice suprise because i got to laugh at adam morrisons porno mustache which i havent seen in a while.

Too lazy to type, here are some random pictures

Today i woke up around noon and i am completely exhausted from it. Noon sounds like a pretty late time to wake up but my sleep schedule has been really messed up the past few weeks and im not used to getting up until like 4 or 5. I did play some live poker today at the wynn and messed around for about an hour online playing. I got to the wynn around like 2 and i think i might start going earlier in the day from now on because the players were absolutely horrible. It was a lot older crowd of players which generally means super tight and they are usually just bad players. I started off down 600, then up like 900, and when i decided to quit i had made around 500. I also played a few 100 dollar sit n gos while watching conan and ended up making like 300 online. Anyways I dont really feel like typing much more so ill just put some pictures up of random things in our apartment. Check back tomorrow and im out.

Before


After






Jinx playing guitar hero 3



Some kick ass slippers from Full tilt. So comfortable


New laptop-




New paper weight



Logitech universal remote which i still havent set up.


our messy set up(dont mind jackie chan)




The best 150 ive ever spent. Automatic litter box which i havent had to clean in almost a month and it still doesnt smell. if you have a cat buy one of these.

The sickest food on the planet. I like dominos but ive had it like 3 times since moving out here and its just awful compared to back in michigan. I had 2 slices of it because i was starving with no car and probably wouldve rather ate something out of the picture above.

A strong finish to the week.............. followed by another huge disappointment.

When the week started off it looked like i was on pace to have one of my worst weeks ever, but luckily i was able to finish it off strong. I think i was down about 5-6k after the first few days(got killed/ took a million bad beats at Omaha) but after some pretty good no limit sessions i was able to finish the week about even. After absolutely getting raped at Omaha i decided to play some 5/10nl (first time in like a month)10/20nl and i was able to put up some pretty good numbers in a very short period of time. I played for about an hour on Thursday made around 1k, played about 3 hours Friday made around 3.5k, and played a ton of tournaments today and made around another 1k. I also played live at the Wynn for a few hours last night before going out and made another 500, which felt great because the last few times I've played live I've got killed. To quote the great Phil Hellmuth "i guess if there wasn't luck I'd win every one." and as ridiculous as it sounds this quote really sums up how i feel about my last week or two of poker. I feel like I've been playing great but every time i get it all in as a huge favorite i just take some horrible beat and end up losing the pot. Hopefully those days are over now and i can get back to making a few bucks.

With today being Sunday it could only mean one thing..... football and tournament poker. I played like 7 tournaments today, cashed in 3 of them for around 1k, and got a brutal reminder of why i hate tournaments. The only cash that really mattered today came in the $215 second chance tourney where i got really deep before getting fucked yet again to finish in 16th place. There were around 1200 players with first prize being a nice 50k and i manage to bust out in 16th place for 1500 or something..... SO FRUSTRATING. Theres just nothing more disappointing than playing forever, getting deep in a tourney, and taking some horrible beat to get knocked out. This idiot tourney donk made such a horrible play and in true pstars fashion he was obviously rewarded when his K10 off suit was greater than my pocket 10's all in preflop. He made such a horrible play and if my 10's hold up in that spot i would've been in the top 4 in chips with 16 left, but obviously he hit a K on the turn and i busted in 16th place. I wish i had the hand history to show you his horrible play but i only know how to put up cash game hands and not tournament hands.
Quick summary- I have 110,000, he has around 180,000, blinds are 5,000/10,000
He minimum raises it utg to 20,000, everyone folds to me in the big blind with pocket 10's, I raise it to 95,000 and he thinks for like 5 seconds before going all in. Such a horrible play i just don't understand what can be going through someones mind to be pushing in k10 off there for all ur chips. So GAY and another lost opportunity to have my first big score.

I planned on talking about some other non poker stuff but after re thinking about that hand i really don't feel like typing anymore and am just pissed now. Check back tomorrow to see whats going on and I'm out. Here are a few hands from the past few days....

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1689262 - aces no good obviously
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1689266 - cant remember why i limped with 10's here but look at what the other 2 guys had and how strange they played it. set over set and no action at all, very odd.
