GOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you watched any of the Spain vs Russia game today you got to hear the announcers yell GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLL quite often. The game ended with Spain dominating the russians 4-1 and making me a nice little profit of 1500 in the process. It wouldve been a pretty good day except i lost about that much playing 5/10 at the bellagio, gay. I wasnt exactly playing my best but i ran into a couple tough spots that i couldnt really get away from and 2 hands pretty much did me in for the day.

Hand 1- 1 limper utg i make it 45 in mid position with pockets tens, button calls as well as the BB. Flop comes out 10 9 6 rainbow, checks to me and i bet out 120 into the 180. BB calls as well as the utg limper calls pretty quick. Turn is a J checks to me i bet 300 which the bb like beats me into the pot but the 300 puts him all in and the utg limper thinks forever and calls too. River is a 3 which was meaningless and with the bb all in i know the utg limper has like qj so i bet a tiny 180 in hopes he'll make a crying call with his J but he folds. BB flopped the straight with 78off and the utg player said he did indeed have qj, rigged.

Hand 2- I raise from early position to 35 with 97clubs folds around and both of the blinds call. Flop comes great for me with it being 985 with two clubs giving me a straight/flush/straightflush draw. I bet out 60 into the 100 and the bb calls. Turn is a K of hearts he checks again and i bet out 200. He thinks for like 10 seconds and makes a tiny raise to 500 which makes me think he flopped a set or possibly the straight. I contemplated reraising because we were pretty deep but i was about 98% sure he wasnt going anywhere once he made that smallish raise so i just decide to be gay and call in hopes of hitting. River brings a A which obviously completely misses the millions of outs i had and now the BB checks to me???? I pondered the idea of betting like 620 or something on the river but he was definitely the type of player who didnt like to fold so i check behind and he rolls over 89 off for 2 pair, ugh. what can ya do....

Last night my friend nicks birthday and to celebrate his gf got a pretty baller suite at MGM. The suite was pretty nice with an upstairs/downstairs but the real sick part of it all was the balcony. It was an enormous balcony with a jacuzzi over looking the entire strip which was pretty cool. We ended up partying there til the weeeeeeee hours of this morning and im definitely feeling the after effects of it. We are meeting up at Dragonfly for some food/cocktails later and im still undecided on whether or not im going out tonight. A girl friend from back home is in town with some teachers til thursday and we have plans to meet up tonight but as of right now theres no way i feel like going out and repeating last night. I say that now but im sure once a few drinks start flowing ill come around........ Anyways check back tomorrow to see how things turned out and im out.

.........



I couldnt really come up with any title for this short post so ill go with the ............ Played the venetian 550 deepstack tournament yesterday and busted out like 80th or something with it only paying the top 27 out of around 300 or so players, fun times. I really like the structure of these and now that they have made them even deeper stacked than originally planned i definitely will be playing some more of these. We started out with 15,000 chips !!!! The donkament started at noon and i didnt even show up til a little before 2 and i still had like 14k with blinds only 100/200, sick. Im glad we get a lot of play with them being deeper stacked but im more excited about the fact that i dont have to wake up super early at noon and can now stroll in around 2 and still have more than enough chips. The reason i put this video of Ivey straight owning this no namers soul is because this guy to my left was talking up Jamie Gold and about how hes the best bluffer in the game..... right.... Jamie Gold? come on now. I dont really think you can put a title on someone and call them the best bluffer but whenever i hear someone say anything about the greatest bluffs ever this bluff by Ivey immediately comes to mind, such a sicko. How do you 840942-bet a guy with air and then shove on him when hes put like 75% of his stack in, ivey is god.

Alright well i plan on getting up early and getting in a good session somewhere so im going to wrap this up. A buddy of mine (clay) who knows a thing or two about betting soccer has been on fire so far in the Euro Cup (4for 4 so far) and ive been able to ride the coattails of his heater to make a nice little profit of around 1k or so over the past few days. Which reminds me of my killer day at the black jack table the other day haha. I never play black jack or any table games cuz their all a scam but i couldnt just sit and watch so i decided to put a 100 in fully expecting to lose it, wrong. Went on a sick heater and made about 300 all while owning the bj dealers soul, ship it. 300 i know isnt exactly baller but its pretty nice to win when i pretty much went into it thinking im losing the 100 but itll still be fun to play. Also i might be the worst sit n go player ever. Played a 125 sit n go yesterday at caesars while we railed kevins (belowabove) gf in the caesars tournament and i managed to bubble out when i had half the chips in play 4 handed hahahaha, how is that even possible??? I did manage to win the 20 bounty on below while owning his soul so that was fun i guess..... hahaha i still have no clue how its even possible to bubble with the position i was in, i suck. Alright well tomorrow is going to be a long day/night because its a buddies bday who is having a party at some sick suite at MGM tomorrow night so that should be fun. He said it has some enormous balcony overlooking the strip so im assuming it must look something like this http://www.mgmgrand.com/accommodations/terrace-suites.aspx Alright im out.
