Its pretty hard for me to call a game that i lost 1500 bucks on the greatest game ever but it really was. Ive watched a lot of hockey games and seen a lot of amazing hockey games but i can honestly say that was the best game ive ever seen. It had everything. For a sport that has been really lacking fan appeal for some years now i really hope that game was a perfect showcase and will start to draw some more fans to the sport. I thought it would go 6 before the series started but i really wish they couldve closed it out at the Joe. The series is still OVER btw and i will only start to worry if they somehow lose tomorrow in pittsburgh. SHIP THE CUP.......
Today i put in a decent session for the first time since my last post. I know in my previous post i talked about how i wanted to play a bunch of donkaments this month but with my insomnia its going to be pretty hard to do. Okay, i dont really have insomnia but with my sleep schedule totally out of wack it makes it pretty hard to get up at like 11 to make it down to the strip by noon for tournaments. Today for example i wanted to go play in the venetian deepstack 330 at noon so i went to bed pretty early (2am) last night with the intentions of getting a somewhat decent nights sleep, WRONG. I tossed and turned in bed watching tv until around 7 this morning and there was no chance i was making it to any tourney at noon. Instead i got down to the bellagio around 5 or so for some 5/10 fun, i love the WSOP. The games i was in was filled with tournament retards which made for some pretty easy money and some pretty funny hands/explanations of some horrific plays. NO FOLD EM HOLD EM= Value city imo. I didnt really get tangled up in any big pots but was able to make a little under 1500 in around 5 hours or so. The big game was running 2 tables in bobbys room and there were a ton of big name players around the room, Doyle, eli elezra, tj degen cloutier, kenny tran, david benyamine, sammy farha as well as many others. Im not really the star struck type and ive seen all these guys around town as well as tons of real celebrities before so it wasnt a big deal until i saw thee Tom " DURRR" Dwan. For those not in the poker know he is pretty much the sickest online player killing 200/400 forever and is now crushing what seems like every live tournament he enters. Im not sure what games they were running in there but im sure there was some pretty sick action goin down.
Well tomorrow is game 6 so GO WINGS. Also its wednesday which im sure will include some dragonfly followed by god knows what... Im going to try and get some sleep so i can get in a session live or online before the game starts so check back to see how things go and im out.

Go RED WINGS!!!!!
The wings are 1 game away from winning the stanley cup( hockey) and its going to feel great watching them lift the cup tomorrow. The game is at 8est for anyone who cares about hockey and i plan on putting a nice little wager on the game. I already bet 800 on them to win the series before it started so i figure since the series is already over( obviously just jinxed myself and the wings) that ill bet 800 on tomorrows game, FREE money. The line is redwings -240 which is okay but ill be betting them at -1 1/2 goals at +130 and like i said before, whenever you can get the wings at even money or+ whatever its such great value i cant pass it up. GO WINGS....
Not sure whats up but i woke up today and felt like total shit. As soon as i awoke my whole body was aching for some reason and i seem to have a little bit of a soar throat. Ive been feeling pretty lousy all day but hopefully its just some 24 hour bug or something and will be gone when i wake up. The world series of poker just started a few days ago and ive been getting the itch to donk it up in some tournaments. The wsop events have really shitty structures so i think im going to stay clear of those ones and play some of the other ones in town. Caesars, Venetian, and the Golden Nugget are all offering deepstack tournaments ranging from 200 to 1k all month long so ill probably try to play as many of these as i can tolerate. Binions is also running their mini-world series which i went 1 for 1 in last year when i final tabled the only event i played last year. I think it was a 250 six handed tourney and ill probably play it again this year because there arent many tournaments that offer 6 handed events. I cant even remember the last tournament ive even played live or online but with all the world series buzz in town its given me the itch so we'll see how things go with that.
I was driving down to the strip earlier and thought i was going to get beaten up by some bikers haha. Its funny now but it wouldve sucked if they wouldve kicked my ass. Heres the story-
Theres this side street that runs from our apartment to almost all the way down to the strip so instead of taking the busy/crazy ( Vegas has the worst drivers ive ever seen) main roads i usually just cruise down this side street and avoid all the insanity. Anyways im cruising along going maybe 25-30 approaching a stop sign and these bikers are going about the same speed on the cross road. We are both going at a pace that if they kept going and i kept going it was timed out that we would just run into each other. They didnt have a stop sign but i do so i come up to the stop sign kind of fast i guess but totally see the sign ( i drive this road like everyday) and stop a little before the sign and these guys like slam on their brakes and stop in front of me. Apparently they thought that i didnt see the sign and wasnt going to stop even though i had pretty much stopped before they over dramatically slammed on their brakes and were flipping out. Their like literally 10 feet from my hood stopped in front of me yelling " theirs a fucking stop sign" "asshole" blah blah blah and it took them what seemed like an eternity to finally keep going and move out of the way. I mean these guys were no Hells Angels and more biker wannabes but it still wouldve sucked if they decided they wanted to come fight me cuz i probably wouldve just had to run them over and leave haha. Such over dramatic bikers........ They werent even on harleys either, weak sauce.
Another thing that i want to talk about thats always tilted me but even moreso the past couple of days is Chopping. Chopping is - say you are in the big blind and everyone folds so its just you and the small blind often times people will just "CHOP" instead of playing out the hand. Its up to the players whether or not you want to "chop" but for the most part the majority of people chop, keep in mind though its totally your choice. I prefer not to chop and play out the hand because a)chopping is stupid imo, b) heads up i will out play you, c) the 5/10 games are paying time games.
I guess where im going with this is i cant stand how people FREAK out when you say you prefer not to chop. A guy yesterday went nuts saying i always chop, its common courtesy, blah blah blah.... Then again today i told the guy i dont chop and he gets all bent out of shape complaining about i always chop even with aces and a bunch of other bullshit. Guess what buddy i dont chop so fucking get over it. Its just funny how people get so bent out of shape about people that dont chop and if you say you dont chop they literally dislike you because of it. Another thing about chopping that tilts me more than anything are the people that get all excited and worked up about chopping. It comes to them to chop and their all excited saying the generic donk lines like" i always chop", " I chop even if i have aces" and of course they do the stupid look at each others cards and get all excited if one of them has kj saying i had u crushed blah blah blah. It makes me literally want to bounce their heads off the table haha. Alright well this has turned into one big long rant about nothing so im going to wrap this up and call it a night. Check back tomorrow to see whats up and im out.
