BUSY......

Well its been a while so i guess i better update this thing. It seems like ive had a million things going on since last posting about a week ago. The past week has been kind of a hometown reunion which is always a good time to see friends you havent seen in forever. In addition to some friends out visiting we also have a friend living with us at the moment until he finds a place out here. So i guess you could say its been more of a week of partying rather than being busy but ill pretend like ive been getting a lot of stressful things accomplished haha. Laying in the pool, playing cards, drinking, getting bottles at clubs, and hanging out to the weeeeee hours of the morning can be pretty "stress"ful haha.

Poker has been going alright since my last post. Ive actually been playing a little online and am up like 3k or something since last post in very minimal time put in. Live poker has been pretty so so. I havent really put in a real live session since last posting but have managed to play like 3 or 4 days. I dont call them "real" sessions because in the last week ive gone to play 2/5 with my buddies from back home and we would just get wasted/do shots while playing before going out for the night. Needless to say the shots made for some pretty swingy sessions and some interesting hands. The last session i put in though was absolutely sick. I was getting cold decked and ran into so many set up hands it felt like i was playing online in a tournament. I havent had to make so many huge lay downs in a session like that in a while and i still ended up losing a little under 1k in a 500 max buy in game at the MGM. Although i think i did manage to drink close to 1k in alcohol so i guess it was worth it haha. This was kind of a funny hand since my buddy was dealing and it was literally like my 2nd hand at the table.

Hand- someone limps in early position, im in the cutoff with 10 8 off so i raise it up to 20, the small blind calls and limper calls. FLOP is 997 , checks around to me i bet out 35 and the sb thinks for like 2 seconds before min raising to 70 and the other guy folds. I wasnt too sure of what he had but i figured if he has a 9 and i hit then theres no way hes folding so i just call. The turn is a Q and he checks??? I really thought about betting here because now im thinking hes probably not checking a 9 but i check and decide to take the free river. River is what appears to be my money card of a J making the BOARD 997QJ. He now leads out for 80 and the way the hand played out im like 90% sure he doesnt have a fullhouse so i raise it up to 250. He thinks for like maybe 5 seconds total before calling and flipping up K10 off for a higher straight hahha. I mean how could i not put him on minraising that flop of 997 with K10 ??????? hahahah. I shouldve known that almost getting stacked on the first hand was going to be a sign of things to come but what can ya do.

I started writing up this blog like 3 hours ago and got distracted by the new chris rock special on hbo so im going to have to finish this up tomorrow as its getting pretty late. Here is a list of some things i wanted to talk about that you can look forward to but more for me so i dont forget what i wanted to blog about.

My tanking mutual funds
My 3 week trip to Europe at the end of next month

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3302176- STANDARD bustout hand for me involving any kind of tournament or sit-n-go i play online. They both couldve had like qq and i guarantee they wouldve hit a flush or possibly even a 5th queen on the river haha. It really is absurd/ almost mathematically impossible to run as horrible as i do in any kind of tournament i play on pokerstars but whatever. If i get it in vs. a 2 outer i think im about a 90% under dog, i really wish i was joking too but its pretty gross.
