Beer Pong and Prop Betting Degeneracy....

Im not sure if degeneracy is even a word but it sounds good so lets go with it. Yesterday i planned on trying to get a good poker session in but it just wasnt meant to be. First off i woke up pretty late (3ish i think) then took a while before finally getting myself ready and heading down to the bellagio for some 5/10. Well of course the lines for the 5/10 game were massive so instead i sweated the first half of the spurs/lakers game in which i had bet 300 on the spurs -2.5 for the first half, SHIP it. After finally getting my seat in the 5/10 game it was pretty much pointless because i had waited so long it was almost time for me to leave. I went to meet up with a buddy(clay/lvdealer) at In n Out burger for some dinner. Everyone raves about how In n Out is so good but up until yesterday i thought it actually sucked. There is one down the road from my place so i tried it like 2 or 3 months ago and had no idea what the big fuss was about because i thought it was horrible. Anyways i think it mustve just been the one by my house because i gave it a second try yesterday and it was pretty damn good.

After fattening it up at In' n Out we headed over to Kevins( pokersuperstar Belowabove) to celebrate his birthday with some beer pong and what not. We first got there and everyone was finishing up the sunday tournaments so started drinking and shot some pool for a bit. Funny thing i noticed yesterday about all poker players seems to be is that they are all good at pool. I dont know what it is but it just seems like every poker player i know is/was really good at pool, almost as if its in our genes. What started off as just some friendly doubles matches for fun quickly turned into 100 dollar games and really set the tone for the night. After we won below and clay decided to do some WII bowling for some loot. They started off at 100 a game which clay won, then double or nothing for 200, clay won, below wanted to get even so they made the third game for 500 haha. Luckily i was able to buy 200 worth of clays 500 and he ended up winning by about 8 pins or something, SHIP the easiest 200 ever ha. Everyone had a pretty good buzz going at this point and it was time for some beer pong. I havent played in a really long time but once the first couple of shots started to drop it all came back and we ended up winning the first 3 games i think. Now that i think about it we were playing for 20 bucks a game and i dont think we recieved any money for any of the games haha. Fun night.

Unfortunately im feeling the effects from last night today. I went to bed around 6 or something and woke up at 11 (gross) this morning and havent been able to fall back asleep. Its pretty much pointless now because the Red wings/Pistons games start in a little over an hour and i have a pretty decent amount of money on them..... GO DETROIT. Well thats about it i guess so check later and im out.

What a Game....

Yesterday was finally the big day of the game between Manchester United and Chelsea for the Championship. Let me just start off by saying it was an absolutely amazing game that eventually ended up with Man U winning in a shootout. It was probably the most exciting game that ive ever seen by far. Well maybe thats not true but the fact that it was such a close exciting game combined with me having a little under 1k riding on it made for some great excitement. I woke up pretty early (10 a.m.) to head over to MGM where a friend(clay/lvpokerdealer) had the skybox suite reserved above the sportsbook to watch the game. The sportsbook was completely packed with no seats for this game so it was pretty nice to have our own suite with recliners and drinks. In case you missed the game it was pretty much as exciting a game you will ever see. They went into the shootout and Ronaldo who is one of if not the top player in the world missed his shot in the shootout! Obviously once he missed it was pretty much over because its almost impossible for a goalie to make saves in these. So Chelsea makes all their shots and its down to their captain with the last shot to win the game....... and he kicks it off the crossbar!!!! Unbelievable. All he had to do was make that shot and it was over, instead it was all back to even. Man U scores, chelsea scores, man u scores again, and chelsea comes up and the goalie for man u made a sick save and MAN U wins. It was a very exciting game filled with us jumping around, yelling, sweating, and even me losing my voice for a while after the game. SHIP the monies. After the game was over we grabbed some lunch at hooters before i headed back home to take a nap before the nights celebration but not before stopping by red rock to place a few more bets on the lakers game.

The line was pretty tough at L.A. -7 so the only bets that i actually liked were the over/under on kobe bryants points at 31.5 so i took the under and owned kobes soul when he only scored 27, ship. The other bet i really liked was the over/under in the total number of 3 pointers made in the game at 14 which to me sounded rediculously high so i took the under and they only ended up making like 9 i think in the game,ship. I also put some money on the Red Wings to win the stanley cup which is pretty much free money, GO WINGS!!!

I also ended up totally killing it today on bodog betting the pistons game. I hit 5 out of 6 bets that i made during the course of the game for a nice win of around 7oo. Ive now ran my 180 deposit on bodog up to a little under 2k in a few weeks so maybe this time i wont be so lazy and actually withdraw the money instead of saying "fuck it" and just blowing it by being stupid.








Wings ticket-

\

In my last post i said that i was planning on going home to michigan for the weekend but theres been a change of plans. After yesterday it was pretty apparent that it was going to be close to impossible to get tickets to the wings games so i called in today and cancelled my flight. Im going home for a few weeks in July anyways so i figured ill just wait and i really felt like shit today from last nights excursion so i didnt really feel like packing and going through the whole airport headache. Which reminds me, DONT ever fly Spirit Airlines. Their customer support was absolutley horrible as it took me about 2 hours to finally get someone on the phone to cancel and another thing that really pisses me off is that they charge you 20 dollars to check your suitcase! Not an extra suitcase or an overweight suitcase but just any suitcase you want to take with you,gay.

Obviously we had to go out last night and do a little celebrating from the game so we met up at Dragonfly for some food and a lot of shots. It was John(chatter), clay,(lv) kevin(poker super star Belowabove), and another sick tournament player steve( gboro). This was my first time meeting gboro who had just got in town yesterday for the world series and was a real chill dude. We shot the shit at dfly and pounded drinks/shots til about 2 or so before heading over to thee Rhino. Other than the place being way too packed it was a pretty fun time and we chilled here drinking til around 6 or so before calling it a night. Well thats pretty much a recap of whats been going on since my last post so check back tomorrow to see whats up. I think im going to try and wake up pretty early(by 2) to get down to the bellagio or wynn for some 5/10 so check back to see how that went and im out.

Good Day

Today was a pretty good day all around. The day started off with me winning almost 500 on the Red Wings and almost 800 on the Spurs who i had bet to win the series. I actually totally forgot i even placed the bet because it seems like the series started so long ago. Ive always hated the Spurs and TIMMMMMAAAAAYYYYY but their just a really good team and i wouldnt be suprised at all if they end up winning it all again. I know everyone including David Stern is probably begging for a Celtics vs. L.A. finals but i really think its going to end up being Detroit vs. San Antonio again. After the games finished up i decided to head back down to the Bellagio for some of the 5/10 stupidity. The games were pretty soft like usual and i was able to make a little over 1300 in about 3 hours or so. I just got back about an hour ago from bellagio and decided to hop in some 5/10 games on stars for a bit while i surf the net and was able to win a little over 1k in about 10 minutes haha. It was all pretty much won from this hand- http://www.pokerhand.org/?2636416

Im glad the wings were finally able to close out the Stars, i was getting pretty nervous after they lost that 5th game.. Also I had planned on going home to michigan to go to either game 1 or 2 of the Stanley cup but i couldnt really book a flight until the wings closed out the series and they announced when the games would be. The 2 home games at Joe Louis are Saturday/Monday night so i booked a flight home today and will be back home from Friday morning until Tuesday. Im really excited to go to the games and it will be nice to take a little break from vegas even if it is just for the weekend. The Pistons and Tigers are all playing home this weekend as well so hopefully i can get to one of those games too but we'll see...

A buddy of mine(clay/lvpokerdealer) is a huge soccer nut and loves Manchester United in the finals in wednesdays game so i put 650 on it and if you like free money you should too. The game is wednesday at 2 eastern/11 here(gross) so dont miss out and go MAN U!

You're probably wondering what the hell that video is doing at the top of the post and i figured i would just share with you my favorite song at the moment. Kanye is pretty full of himself but he definitely makes great music and artistically is pretty far ahead of everyone else in the rap game IMO.

This weekend was so so i guess because i only went out 1 night on Friday. Actually it was a really fun weekend but i guess i just consider it so so because i only went out 1 night instead of 2. Honestly though i cant really do the back to back nights o partying anymore because i usually do it up so big the night before im just completely dead the following day. We started off doing some pre drinking on the roof top of NYNY then headed over to this new locals club called BLUE MARTINI http://www.bluemartinilounge.com/. Ive heard quite a few people talking up this place and it didnt disappoint at all. Its a huge bar/club with tons of good looking girls and an outside patio which is what im all about. The drinks were pretty stiff at 10 bucks each but our buddy got this like credit card from the owner or something so everything was 50% off the whole night, not bad. I think we stayed here til around 3 or so before everyone decided to head over to this after hours club called Seamless http://www.seamlessclub.com/ . This place is really cool because its like a club/bar but there are strippers there haha. Its cool because its more of a cool chill spot until you see a naked chick walk by and you remember that its a strip club and not just a regular lounge. We had a few drinks here before our buddy said we should go over to scores http://www.lvscores.com/index.php where his girlfriend works (cocktail waitress) and was going to give us free drinks for the night. Well at this point it was literally already sunny out by the time we got there haha so we went in for a drink before finally heading home and calling it a morning...

Well this has got way longer than i originally planned so im going to wrap it up. Check back tomorrow to see whats up and GO MAN U!!!!!!

I WON 2700!!!!!!!........

Unfortunately i was already down 3,000 hahaha. I played the longest live session i have played in a long time of about 9 hours and it was a pretty wild day. Im calling it a pretty wild day because i had some pretty big swings for playing 5/10 and even though i lost 300 i really feel like i won. I started off at the wynn where the game was decent but after all was said and done i was down about 1200. There was this idiot asian guy who kept going all in for like 5k into like 100 dollar pots haha. I was just praying that i would be lucky enough to pick something up against him but no luck. I did however get into a pretty interesting pot with him...

Hand- Theres a straddle so it folds to me in middle position with AJ of spades and i make it 60 to go. Folds all the way around to the wild asian guy who calls and the BB calls.

Flop- K 4 2 with 2 spades

asian dude makes a small bet of 60, bb folds, and i reraise it up to 220 total, HE SNAP CALLS.

Turn brings a 5 (non spade) so i now have the nut flush draw with a straight draw. Asian dude checks to me and i bet out 410 and he INSTA calls, like he literally almost beat me into the pot when i bet. So the river comes down a 3 (non spade) making the board......

Final Board- K 2 3 4 5

I obviously missed my flush like usual but make the straight and as soon as the 3 comes out the asian dude SHOVES ALL IN, sick. He has like 5k or something covering me. Im sitting with about 2500 more on the river so i decide to throw up in my mouth a little bit before finally folding. I know it sounds like a pretty easy fold but i just couldnt put him on any kind of hand that would have a 6 in it. Wrong, after i fold he shows K 6 of spades...... Wouldve been nice to have a spade come off on the river cuz i know he wouldve shoved but instead i LOSE.

After a few hours the game started to get pretty shitty so i decided to leave the Wynn stuck around 1200 and head over to the Bellagio. I absolutely hate the bellagio poker room but the games have been pretty good/super soft lately so ive been going there quite a bit. This was really where the rollercoaster began. I was already down 1200 from the wynn and within maybe 20 minutes of sitting im back to even when i hit a set of 2's against some dudes KK and stacked him because no one can fold anything in the bellagio games. After about an hour or hour and a half im up almost 1k before shit hits the fan. I went from up around 1k to down almost 3k in the matter of about 3 hours! Those are some huge swings for that game and that short period of time but i just kept running into hands i couldnt really get away from. Set over set, K high flush vs A high flush, getting drawn out on a ton, and me bluffing off a little over 1,000 with 6 high haha. I could feel myself starting to tilt a bit but instead of just leaving and calling it a day i just took like a 5 minute break to cool down. I guess ill share the 6 high bluff before i go onto how i started steamrolling my way back to actually back up a few hundred.

The Bluff- I had been very active at the table but it was great because i would raise a lot of hands but no one would reraise me or really show any kind of resistance at all so i was basically dictating (i think thats a word)all the action.

I pick up 56 of clubs utg and come in for my standard raise to 35 and get 3 callers.

The FLOP- J 7 4 (rainbow) great flop giving me an open ended straight

I thought about going for a check raise but instead decided to lead out for 100 and get 2 callers. These arent your regular 2 callers though because these 2 players were in like every pot and calling down with anything. The TURN is a 4 making the board J 7 44 which i feel is a pretty card to bet with so i make it 280 and the this old donk calls and the other idiot reluctantly folds.

the RIVER- is a Q making the final board J 7 44 Q leaving me with 6 high and in a tough spot

I really felt like he just had some shitty J so i fire another shot on the river of 480 and he only had around 700 total at this point. He thinks forever and i think im going to get away with it until he donks it up and says" well if you got it you got it, im all in" Which wasnt exactly music to my ears because i now had to fold to his 200 dollar raise into the close to 2k pot haha. After i muck he shows his QJ off haha, such retards.

Looking back i like the play but i just dont like the timing. I broke my number one rule in poker and that is DONT try to bluff old people. I really feel i get away with it a ton against anyone with a clue but i tried to bluff an old calling station donk and thats just impossible to do.


Shortly after this bluff i was stuck around 3k and almost decided to just go home because i could feel myself tilting but theres just no way i could leave that game no matter how bad i was playing. The game was so weak i knew it was only a matter of time before i would get things going as i had it all pretty much set up.
At this point i had a great image set up and was gettting called down with anything so as long as i could pick up some hands i could value bet all day which is what i did. I finally picked up a few hands that actually held up and was just getting paid off huge. I was able to go from down the 3k to up a few hundred before finally calling it a night down 300.

There was one more hand i wanted to talk about but im getting pretty tired so im going to give u a quick summary. I raise 99 in early position and get 3 callers including both blinds. Flop i 10 5 3 with 2 clubs. I lead out for 90 into the 140 pot and it folds all the way around to the BB who is thinking forever before calling. Turn is another 5 so he checks to me and i know he has some shitty 10 so i make it 210. He sits and thinks forever before finally calling and the river brings a 7 of clubs bringing the flush out there. He thinks for a while then bets out 150?? This guy was super tight and i thought forever about popping it up to like 600 but pussied out and decided to just shut down and fold. He then shows me his 10 7 haha, how horrible is that? He calls down with just the 10, the flush gets there, the board is paired so if i have an over pair he is beat and im never folding, and yet he leads for 150 hahahhhaha, such retards. I was pretty mad at myself afterwards, not because i lost the pot, but the fact that i think i backed out from raising it to 600 on the river because i was content with losing the 300 on the day and didnt want to lose more.... so i pretty much talked myself out of making what wouldve probalby taken the pot down but who knows he mightve called anyways........... Anyways im exhausted so im going to bed and check back tomorrow to see how the day went and im out.

Live Poker is Rigged.....

Just got back from the Bellagio and obviously anything that could go wrong did. Well maybe im over exaggerating a tiny bit but this post is kind of just a way to blow off a little steam. The 5/10 game was playing as weak as usual and i drew a super weak/passive table but unfortunately a few river cards ended up making me a loser on the day. The game was pretty soft and actually fairly tight so im not really sure how i managed to have such a swingy session. I played for maybe 4 hours and went from up around 400, down 500, up around 500, to final ending the session stuck around 1300. Looking back there were only a few big pots so i guess i mustve been splashing around a bit more than i remember. Onto the 2 interesting hands from the sesh.

Hand 1- Everyone folds to me in late position so i raise it up to 35 with AJ, the button calls, the small blind calls, and the BB folds. The FLOP - J78 rainbow

SB checks, i elect to check for some pot control and the button also checks.
Turn is another jack making the board JJ78 with 2 spades

The SB leads out for a whopping 120 into the 100 dollar pot giving me the option of raising or getting super sneaky and just calling...... I flat call because i feel im so far ahead of him any raise is going to kill any action. and i called with the intention of raising any non scary river card. Now i know ur thinking JJ78 wtf are you just calling for on such a draw heavy board? Well as i just said i felt i was so far ahead there arent many cards other than a 9 or 10 that are going to be bad for me so i was raising any river other than a 9 or 10.

The River- is a non spade 10 making the board- J J 7 8 10

He thinks for like 10 seconds and checks? I really feel like not betting here is losing value from a lower J or a 78/pocket pair type hand so as thin as it might be i decide to bet out 220...... to my dismay he takes about 10 seconds before barely raising me back to 500 total, sick. I know hes really never raising anything less than a straight in this spot but i just felt the way the action went down my hand is so under represented that i have to pay it off. So i call only to see him show me his 89 off for the rivered straight and listen to him tell me how he was sure his 8 was good on the turn and his plan of calling any river bet even if he had missed the straight......... so at least my original plan wouldve worked but unfortunately i let him hit the straight and cost myself 500 on the river bet. blah

Hand - 2 Under the gun player makes it 40, guy in mid position calls, im on the button with AK off and decide to just call rather than raise and the BB also calls. 4 way action to the flop....

FLOP- A 7 8 2 diamonds ( the A and the 8 were diamonds)

Original raiser leads out for 100 into the 160 pot, mid guy folds to me, I decide to make a smallish looking raise like i might have a huge hand to 260 total and the BB folds. The original raiser thinks for maybe 5 seconds tops before shoving all in for 720 more after my 260. I had seen him overplay a few hands previously and was actually pretty confident in my hand so i CALL.

TURN- 3
(neither are diamonds)
River- 9

He says "the nuts" and rolls over the J10 of diamonds for the rivered out straight, ugh.

Im in no way faulting his play because i wouldve probalby played it the same but it just sucks getting it in for a big pot and losing yet again to some turn or river bullshit. Lee jones can you please flip off my doomswitch??????

There hasnt been much else since last post to talk about so i guess ill just keep this strictly a poker post. Ive decided to play some PLO over the past few days (mostly 3/6 and 5/10 , 6 handed) and have had some pretty nice results in very limited play. Its funny because i actually play this almost retarded style and its been working quite well. I pretty much barely minraise almost every hand preflop then preceed to make smallish bets on the flop with air or huge hands. As stupid as this sounds it seems to actually anger people( actually had people in the chat boxes talking shit to me) and they start just trying to call me down with nothing or i get them to just stack off with weak holdings. Well im starting to get tired so ill leave you with some hands from the past few days and im out.

I had a lot of hands to show but some reason pokertracker is all fucked up so i guess you will only get a few of the ones that work.

A lot of these hands actually suck and i wish i could show you a bunch of the other ones where im not just a luckbox but i dont know what the problem with the trackers are. Hopefully i get that figured out and can put some more interesting hands up this weekend, til then....

Been a while.....

Its been almost a week since last posting so ill throw something together here. Lets see what have i been up to the past week........ not much at all. Ive probably had one of the most lazy weeks ive had in a long time and that saying a lot because im a pretty lazy person in general. Since like going out saturday night ive just been kinda laying low, playing a little poker, and not really doing anything productive. I was supposed to go to L.A. with some peeps on Tuesday night but i decided to pass at the last second. The plan was to drive up there very late on tuesday night, arrive in L.A. around 6-7 a.m., take a nap, go do sightseeing/whatever all day, go out all night then leave the following morning..... just sounded like way too much to cram into one day. Although my roommates just returned earlier today and now im kinda mad i didnt go but what can ya do... I will definitely be hitting up cali sometime in the future but i feel like by going there for the first time theres no way that 1 day is enough to take everything in.

I played a little poker this week but nothing really to write home about. Played the usual 5/10 breaking about even or maybe even down a bit im not too sure. The 25/50 game was looking really good the other day so i hopped in for about a half hour or so until all the tough regulars flooded the table so i called it quits after making around 4-500. I cant even remember any pots from the mini session so ill take the 500 i guess. I woke up yesterday just as the pistons game was about to start and saw that i really liked the over in the game (187) but there was no way that i could get down to the casino to bet it in time so i did something very very stupid.......... I decided to put 200 on Bodog. I guess its really not that stupid but last time i did this i ran my account up and instead of going through the hassle of cashing out i said fuck it and just ran it busto. Anyways i doubled up to 400 from the over in the pistons game and played a couple tables of .50/1 and 1/2 and have ran the account up to about 1k. I actually like it because its kind of fun being able to fuck around while im sitting around watching the games. Hopefully i can just go on some insane heater and be playing 25/50 soon but we'll see haha.

Well im starting to get pretty tired so im going to wrap this up, but not before talking about Roger Clemens.... I mean could things get any worse for this guy haha. I guess i shouldnt say that because just when i thought he was already totally fucked theres now all these women that keep coming out saying they had affairs with him haha. It really is more sad than funny but witht the way the whole thing has kind of turned into a circus of what will happen next its hard not to laugh. I dont think i can really remember someone who was such a dominating sports icon as he WAS, just kind of turn into a joke. He was such a well liked sure hall of famer and now his whole career/family has just been turned upside down. Im not even a roger clemens fan but the whole situation just seems to get worse by the day.... its become like an episode of jerry springer haha. Alright well im just starting to ramble about nothing now so im going to call it a night, later.

Random Stuff

Since i haven't posted since last week i decided i would throw together a post of a few random things on my mind. First off i will start off by talking about the grand theft auto 4 game since i was cut off last time in the middle of my post. Its a pretty fun game so far i guess even though i haven't played it that much yet but i would say its definitely worth getting. I can already feel that its going to be one of those games that i play for like 2 days straight and then never want to play again. All in all though its a fun game but i would definitely say that Call of duty 4 is way better, I'm pretty biased though because i honestly think call of duty 4 is the best game I've ever played.


I guess ill throw together a quick poker discussion and finish off that 5/10 heads up story from the other day. As you might remember from my last post i was at red rock, the 2/5 game broke, and me and this older guy decided to play 5/10 heads up. The guy was a pretty cool dude who said he was just there blowing off steam since his real job is betting horses, talk about a stressful job that must be. Anyways he was a decent player but i felt i definitely had a huge advantage in any type of match against him. We ended up playing for about 3-4 hours and i managed to slowly milk about 1.5k on him before we decided to call it a night. I cant really think of any huge/interesting hands so i think it was more of me just slowly chipping him down. Flash Forward to Tuesday night and i go back to the redrock to try and get a 5/10 game going but of course it doesn't. I decide to play some 2/5 for a bit in hopes that the 5/10 will go but no one wanted to play, so I'm about to rack up and head out until the guy from the heads up match walks in and we go for round 2 of the heads up match. It went pretty bad. I don't think i was playing my best but he certainly ran hotter than hot for a heads up match. He was just hitting literally like every single flop and if not he would turn or river me every hand. After the match was over he told me that hes never seen such a rush of cards like that and he was getting hit with the deck the entire time. We played for about 3 hours before it was finally like 4 in the morning and we decided to call it with me being down around 700 or 800, which honestly would've been like 2k but i was able to get away from some big hands. While we were playing a kid around my age decides to hop in the game for about a half hour, no big deal right? Wrong. He was super aggressive and a pretty good player so something comes up about playing online and he tells me his name is " Tsarrast." Not really a big deal other than the fact that he plays the highest games online which are 300/600 nl haha. Overall though i say i held my own picking up probably around 4-500 from him in the short amount of time he was there. Unfortunately after he left the old guy pretty much steamrolled with his heater and i ended up losing around 800 on the night.


Lets see what else is there i want to talk about? Sunday we went out to celebrate a friends birthday with bottles at PURE http://www.purethenightclub.com/. We had comped bottles since half the people we were with including the birthday boy worked there and we had one of the best tables right next to the dance floor. I'm not sure what was up with that night but their was a lot of old people there for some reason and it wasn't all that busy but it was definitely still a good time. After the bottles were gone it was getting pretty dead in there 2 or 3 so we decided to head over to Tryst http://www.trystlasvegas.com/indexFlash.php over at the Wynn. If you come to Vegas Tryst is definitely a must do as far as clubs go. I'm not a huge club person but i would say that tryst is probably my favorite club of all out here. Its just really nice all around and with the weather being nice and the waterfall out there its just really sweet atmosphere. The fact that there are always tons of great looking girls/women there doesn't hurt either haha. Our original plan was just to have a drink or 2 since it was already kind of late and dieing down but somehow the shots started flowing and we didn't end up leaving til right before closing time.



Last night i decided to go out as well and am feeling the effects of it today. It was a friends bday again so we all met up at dragonfly for some great food, sake, and some some drinks. I wanted to post a link but for some reason they don't have a website???? I thought everyone had a website... weird. Its pretty much this smallish/nice sushi place that runs a happy hour from 10-2 am or something silly like that so you get great food, drinks, and shots for very cheap. After getting our drink on we decided that we needed to go see some naked women so we went over to this place http://www.ogvegas.com/ep/club.php called Olympic Gardens where we chilled to the weeeeeeeee hours. I felt pretty shitty today but all in all it was a pretty fun night.



Since my last post its been an awesome time to be a Detroit sports fan. We just had the tigers finally start playing good by sweeping the Yankees in 3 games, the Pistons who finally took care of business by advancing to the next round of the playoffs, and most impressively the Red Wings who just dominated the avalanche by sweeping them in 4 games to advance to the western conference finals. Its been a great week for Detroit teams and hopefully the pistons and red wings can both win championships, that would be really cool. Sports betting has also gone pretty well this week so ill finish up this post with a few pics from the past few days picks and I'm out.

Wings sweep

Tigers 10/1 to win the world series. Great price since they opened the season at 3/1

Grand Theft Auto 4 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I honestly cant believe how hyped this game is. I dont think theres ever been as much of an anticipated video game ever than gta4. Its all over the tv, the internet, and pretty much everywhere you look. Ive had the past few grand thefts and thought they were alright but i dont know about going all crazy for it. With that being said we're about to go to walmart at midnight and get it haha. Its weird because im not a huge gamer but i would say more of a binge gamer. I have a ps3,xbox360, and a wii which in total altogether they probably get used like 3 or 4 times a month. I go on these spurts where ill play a game for like 3 days straight and then get bored and not play any video games for like a month. Im just hoping this game lives up to all the hype and isnt collecting dust after a few days, we shall see i guess.

Wow that was a pretty long paragraph about video games sorry about that haha. Anyways i just wanted to make a quick post about what ive been up to the past few days and the weekend. Somehow in my last post i completely forgot to talk about my 5/10nl heads up match at Red Rock casino http://www.redrocklasvegas.com/index.php that i somehow got myself into Thursday night. I went there a little before 11 just to bet on a few games for friday and saw they had a short handed 2/5 game going so i decided to hop in for a few. When i sat it was playing 7 handed with a bunch of old donks and this douchebag who was around my age. I call him douchebag because as soon as i sit down i start raising quite a bit of hands and he says to me "I remember you and your stupid raises" haha. I thought this was pretty funny so i ask him where/how he knows me because ive never seen the kid in my life and he wouldnt tell me, wtf? He says something like" lets just say i remember playing with you and i dont want to tell you where from because i dont want to give off any information" , something stupid along those lines. I tell him it doesnt matter because i have no clue who you are and now im just going to raise more hahaha, i was in a gambling mood and the game was so soft i felt it was -EV to not be playing every pot. He didnt seem to think this was as funny as i did and preceeded to rack up his chips immediately and leave haha. Anyways after that we play 6 handed for about a half hour before everyone decides they dont want to play shorthanded anymore and they quit. I was trying to talk them into staying and playing 4 handed but no one wanted to except this old guy so we decided to play heads up.

Roommates just got back with grand theft auto so im sorry im going to cut this off until tomorrow. Check back tomorrow for the 5/10 heads up and how my weekend went, including sundays tournament failures.

Hello 9k.......

Well you're probably wondering why im at home posting on a saturday night and the answer is i feel like shit. We went out last night to Hawaiian Tropics http://www.hawaiiantropiczone.com/about.asp inside of Planet Hollywood for a friends birthday and needless to say i had a "few" drinks and am feeling the effects today. It was the first time i had been to this place and i have to say it was pretty cool. We had tables/bottles which has kind of become the norm but what i liked the most about hawaiin tropics is they have an outside bar/patio area. I love places like this especially now with the weather being perfect, it just has a much better feel than being cooped up inside the dark/hot club. We didnt even get there until around 2 a.m. so i knew it was going to be a long night. There was probably 15-20 people with us so im not even sure how many bottles we went through but i just remember seeing them coming out just one after another. It started to get pretty dead in there around 4ish so we decided to move the party on over to Empire. Empire is this really cool after hours spot that plays some of the best techno ive ever heard and also has a really cool outside area, for some reason we never made it out there though.

After getting home some time this morning from empire i did what any normal person would do after a night of 89304 kettle crans and doing shots would do...... Fire up pokerstars and play some drunken 25/50nl haha. As you can see from the title "hello 9k" things went pretty well and i was able to book a nice win of around 9k, not bad considering the fact i dont remember much of it haha. I remember my original plan was to try and stay up until noon when the redwings game came on but couldnt make it and crashed sometime around 10 i believe. Ive been looking over some of the hands from last nights adventure and some of them are pretty bad haha. Well im starting to get pretty tired and i want to get up early to play some of the sunday donkaments so im going to wrap this up. Here are some hands from last night for your viewing pleasure and check back tomorrow night to listen to me bitch and moan about why i hate tournaments haha, hopefully that wont be the case but we shall see. Anyways check back tomorrow, im out.

Hands- (No point in trying to explain any of these because your guess is as good as mine haha.)

Slump Buster.....

After reading that my life was over and it was time to find a new job(all from my fortune cookie) i decided to roll the dice and give this poker thing 1 more shot...... I played some 5/10 at the wynn yesterday and was able to book a nice win of almost 2k, hopefully this will get me out of my slump. Although i didnt really pick up many hands/pots i was able to take down around a 3k pot which felt good to be on the winning side of. I went down to the wynn tonight to play but the game wasnt that great and i honestly just wasnt feeling it so after about an hour i just decided to head home. Very quick summary of hand

Hand- i raise utg to 30 with qq and get 4 callers to the flop. Flop is 10 9 6 rainbow so i lead out for 90 and get 2 callers. Turn comes down a beautiful Q and i bet out 250 and get raised to 680. I pretend to be thinking when in reality im just trying to look like i have some hard decision with AA/KK. After the 680 raise he has like 900 left and i have him covered so i shove and he calls with 77 and i win a nice pot. What an easy game......

I already cashed the slips but i had another decent day betting sports. I had the tigers for 300 to win 360 which was a winner, I also had the spurs for 200 at -2 winner, and almost went 3 for 3 as i had the washington capitals but they lost in OT in what was a good game. Luckily the washington bet was for only 150 so overall on the day i came out with around 400 profit. Im waking up early tomorrow (at like 10 A.M. = super gross) to meet up with some peeps to watch the Barcelona vs. Manchester United game. Obviously i had to throw a little bet on it to make the game just a bit more interesting to watch so go Barcelona! Well the simply sleep is starting to kick in a bit so here are some games that i bet on for tomorrow so check back tomorrow night to see whats up and im out.

Damn you Fortune Cookie.........

This is such a bad beat its actually hilarious. So after i got done finally updating my blog a few days ago about what ive been up to and pretty much how ive been running bad/on a minor downswing i decided to grab some chinese food for dinner. The food was alright but on to the point that im getting at, Im done eating and onto the fortune cookie. I open up the cookie in hopes of getting some kind of lucky/nice fortune and to my suprise this is what i get- this is no joke i had to put this picture up because i just couldnt believe it haha.... talk about running bad haha.

I said in my last post that i planned on playing in the sunday tournaments but that didnt happen. I woke up to watch the red wings game who i bet on and just didnt feel like playing retard(tournament) poker. After the wings handled business i decided to head down to the bellagio to play some 5/10. Things started off like they have this whole month with me running horrible and me being stuck like around 1.5k in a quick period of time. It was at this point where all i wanted to do was rip the cards in half and just leave but the players were so bad i felt id have to be retarded to leave this game. I went to grab a quick bite to eat and cool down before coming back and dominating these clowns. I ended up getting back in the plus side and ended up the day with a nice profit of like 200 or something haha, ill take it. More importantly than getting even Im glad that i was able to keep my cool and keep playing my game even when things were/have been going bad. Hopefully this will turn things around and i can end the month on a positive note. Well i really only posted so i could show how bad ive been running with the fortune cookie haha so im going to wrap this up. I still have a ton to talk about but am tired so check back tomorrow night for that and this pretty funny/gross thing that happened to me at the store yesterday. im out. few bet slips

Go Lebron! tommorrows game

few hands from online-

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1787454- 5 handed, i still dont know how i feel about this one. Once i make it 760 or whatever i feel like im committed but at the same time i feel like i couldve got away from it. meh

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1787459- bad turn for me as it makes me think i picked up a boatload of extra outs. This was also right after the AK hand above so i was willing to gamble it up a bit more although im probably getting it in a good amount here anyways.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1787463- heads up, aces no good sorry pal

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1787469- i elect to limp ak UTG with the plan of reraising pre but it gets checked around and then this guy loses his mind. ty

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1787473- this hand could be a summary for my whole month.

HI.......

Well as im sure you all have noticed(thats assuming people actually read this blog) that i havent updated in a long while since creating my goal for the month. Obviously being the lazy degen poker player that i am, i still havent started on the goal yet. I really wanted to get this goal underway but i just kept telling myself "ill just relax today and start tomorrow" which has led up to now. Im trying to think of what ive been up to the past few weeks since last posting but nothing to significant comes to mind. The only thing that really sticks out to me i guess is the fact that ive been losing a good amount of money. After losing like 3k on the carolina game then 1.5k on the memphis game i decided it was time to chill out on the sportsbetting. The money was all the profit i had made from the ncaa tourney leading up to those 2 games so i ended up even. It still kinda sucks knowing if carolina doesnt play their worst first half ever and memphis couldve hit 1 damn free throw to win the championship i wouldve been up almost 9k on the ncaa tourney instead of even but..... what can you do. Ive been doing fairly decent betting games lately but its just been a few hundred here and there, nothing crazy like the last to ncaa games.

Poker has been going pretty horrific like this whole month so far. I dont know what it is but i just cant seem to put together a winning session. Its sad to because ive been playing in some pretty weak games but its like the "fish" just seem to be on fire against me. Ive tried looking to see if im doing something wrong but i feel like ive been playing well and just running below expectation. Then on top of that it seems as though everytime i pick up a hand like kk i run into aa or if i have a set i run into a higher set, just a bunch crap like that the past few weeks that as a poker player make you want to scream....... haha not really but its been frustrating live and online.

As for the goal i really dont know what im going to do about it. I definately still want to do it but obviously its kind of too late for this month so ill have to think of something. Its been so long since posting and there are a million things i want to talk about but i just wanted to give you guys an update on whats been going on. Im going to start posting again regularly so check back tomorrow to see how sundays donkaments went and im out.

Official Goal for April......

UPDATE - so i went and exchanged the scale and bought another one and sure enough this one is off even more than the first one. What a bunch of shit. So im not going back to that dump again until tomorrow so that means we'll have to to start tomorrow. check back for that.


Ive given some thought to the goal over night and have came up with the final details. Ive heard some mixed reviews on whether or not losing 15 pounds was doable/safe so i dont really want to set myself up for failure so i will be doing a 12&12 instead of the original 15. So with that said here is the official goal-

Goal- to win 12k only playing poker and to lose 12 pounds in the month of april.

For every pound that i come up short of the 12 i will donate 100 to some sort of charity.
If i accomplish this goal i will buy something nice for myself but i have no clue what yet.


I bought a digital scale so i could take pictures for proof of my progress but of course the thing is a total piece of shit. Since ive opened and used its given me about 12 different weights ranging from 268 down to 261(still very high but i was kinda suprised because i thought i weighed more) which is a pretty big range. So im about to try and return this junker and get one of the old school ones that arent digital. Anyways im about to head out but check back later because i will do the official weigh in haha and put the picture up so we can get this thing underway.

The 15 & 15, NEW GOAL!!!!!!

Its been a while since ive done a goal and ive really been slacking off on playing poker lately so i think this is the perfect time to come up with a goal for April. Ive given this some thought and the goal for april is going to be called the 15 and 15 goal. The 15 and 15 goal is pretty simple, my goal for the month of april will be to make 15k playing poker and to lose 15 pounds. I will be updating pretty much on a daily basis during april and hopefully will be able to accomplish both by the end of the month. Anyways this just came to me a few hours ago so im about to head out and get a few things that will be needed for this. Check back tomorrow for the official start to the goal and the official guidelines to the goal. Im also thinking of adding an extra incentive for myself to really put the pressure on me to go through with this thing. Ideas im floating around right now are if i lose have some sort of giveaway to the readers(thats assuming people read this haha), possibly giving money to charity if i lose, and buying myself something nice if i accomplish this. Anyways the idea is pretty new so the ideas are flying around right now but check in tomorrow for the official start and good luck to me.

If anyone would like to bet against me let me know and i will take you up on it.

Go Tar Heels?........

SHIP IT



Im not really a north carolina fan but they are quickly becoming my favorite team haha. As you can see i bet pretty big on them again this game and they were able to make me some more money. Im not sure if i will be betting anymore games for the tourney but if i do i will keep you updated.

Ive only been back in town here in vegas since tuesday but it feels as though ive been here for like a month. I returned on Monday night kind of tired but decided i to go out for a while anyways, little did i know that the while would end up being until 7-8 in the morning. We went to dragonfly for a while to predrink then ended up heading over to the Rhino til the weeeeeee hours of the morning. Im not positive but i honestly think we mustve done at least like 15 shots over the course of the night which led to me and my wallet feeling pretty shitty the next day. I took a day off before going out again on thursday night. We once again went to dragonfly for some predrinking before heading over to LAX around 1 or so where my buddys friend had a table/bottle. There was some bikini contest http://www.luxor.com/nightlife/lax.aspx or something going on there that night so it was completely packed and had a huge line outside, luckily we were able to bypass all that nonsense and were able to get in after a few minutes. As we were heading in to the table Chuck"iceman" Liddell walked right by us, not sure why im telling you about this but its one of the things i remember while being there. There was also this dude there doing some magic tricks at the table that were pretty amazing to watch, it was like watching david blaine or something but i could see it with my own eyes instead on tv and im still pretty amazed at some of the stuff he did. We ended up staying here til probably 3 or so before it started to clear out kind of so obviously we went to the strip club http://www.penthouselv.com/ Penthouse. Im not really a huge strip club person but somehow ive found myself at them an unusually high amount lately which equates to some expensive nights. We chilled here for quite a while before finally heading home some time in the morning, but not before going to palace station to bet on thurs. N. carolina game. I was really feeling the effects the next day from the night before so just laid on the couch all day and watched nc make me the monies.


My buddy (d. lewis) was staying with us for the weekend so as much as i didnt really feel like going out i kind of had to. I picked him up from the airport and we headed straight to caesars to watch michigan state get completely beaten down by memphis. We continued to predrink here for a while until we met up some peeps and went to studio54http://www.mgmgrand.com/nightlife/studio-54.aspx where we had a table. We didnt get there until probably around 2 or a little later so it was kind of dead unfortunately. The 5 of us put the bottle down pretty quickly and since it was so dead we decided to get out of there and head to.................... where else but the strip club haha. My roommate( hodge) pulled some strings and was able to get us a free bottle at scores http://www.lvscores.com/index.php so we ended up chilling here until sometime in the morning before heading home but not before we headed to palace station again so i could bet on NC again haha. The tickets at the top are from this morning and it was great because the guy behind the counter was actually telling me Louisville was going to win and apparently i started talking some shit to him and almost wasnt allowed to place the bets. The great part was cashing the tickets later in the day from the same guy rick pitino superfan #1. Last night we ended up just playing some cards at mandalay bay and planned on just taking it easy but that didnt really work as we sat there and drank until sometime this morning. Anyways thats pretty much what ive been up to since coming back to vegas. I havent played barely any cards since like before i went back to michigan so im going to try and get in a lot of play this week. Im supposed to go out to Pure tonight but im pretty wiped out from the weekend and i really want to feel good tomorrow so i can play some poker, still undecided as i type this as to what im going to do so we'll see...... Anyways thats my past week in a nutshell so check back tomorrow to see how poker went or if what kind of shenanigans i get into if i decide to go out tongiht. Im out.

Back in Vegas weeeeeeeee........

First off let me get my little brag post out of the way^^^^^^ as you can see in the picture above i did okay betting todays ncaa games making a little under 2k. The 1k bet on north carolina was by far the largest bet ive ever made but it just seemed like a gimme only being -4 point favorites in the first half. Also after todays wins im pretty much freerolling in all of the games tomorrow. Here are the games that i like tommorrow-

Wisconsin - 4 1/2 The over in the texas game and texas at -1 1/2

I also have michigan state +5 and the under in the game at 137



And of course a little parlay action.










Alright enough with the degenerate section of this post and onto what ive been up to since last blogging. I went home to michigan for 10 days for easter/st. pattys day and man i have to say it was a long 10 days. It felt really good to get away from vegas for a while but 10 days in cold michigan had me glad to finally get back to nice and sunny vegas. It was really nice to see family and friends but i think next time i will only be going for 3-4 days instead of the 10 day thing. Its just kind of hard after living here in vegas where you can do whatever you want 24/7 to going home and having everything shutting down by 2. All in all though it was definately good to see family and friends so it was worth sticking out the cold weather and lack of entertainment. A few fun things i did while i was home. Went to the red wings game the day i got home which was something ive wanted to do all year and they won so it was a good time. St. pattys day didnt exactly go as planned because it was on a monday this year so everyone went out saturday instead. Unfortunately for me I drank a ton thursday night at the wings game, then drank a ton Friday night until about 4-5 in the morning, and by the time saturday rolled around the last thing i felt like doing was a bar crawl that started at noon. I felt like total shit but toughened it out and suprisingly made until about midnight before i finally decided to go home.

We also made a trip down to detroit to check out the new MGM http://www.mgmgranddetroit.com/ they built a few months ago. It was suprisingly a lot nicer than i thought it would be and really had the feel of a vegas casino with one exception, all the degenerate losers hanging around. A large amount of the players we played poker with there all knew each and were just kind of miserable to be around. Somehow we got suckered into eating at Wolfgang puck's restaurant( i say suckered because ive ate at wolfgangs here in vegas mgm and swore i would never eat in his restaurant again) but this time my meal was really really good so i guess my hate for wolfgang is over for now. We also decided to take a break from the table and head over to bazoukis (strip club) http://www.bouzoukiclub.net/ for a while and saw something really funny. Im sure by now you have heard on the news of the whole scandal involving mayor kilpatrik involving taking city money, cheating/lying underoath, and a stripper that was murdered at his house during a party, the whole thing is pretty rediculous. Anyways as we are leaving the strip club we see this cop pull over down the road and 2 strippers get into the back of his car and he drives off haha, gotta love good ol detroit. That pretty much is my trip to michigan in a quick summary.



Ive been back here in vegas now for about 4 days and its been a pretty long 4 days to say the least. Im still exhausted/dead from last nights activities and its going to take way too long to type up what ive been up to so far since being back so i will do it tomorrow. A friend of ours(D. Lewis) is coming into town this weekend and staying at our apt. so im going to wrap this up and get some shut eye for what will probably be a pretty long weekend. Anyways check back tomorrow to read the rest of what ive been up to lately and im out.

Thats gold Jerry, gold!

I dont think ive ever laughed so hard at something from the internet as i did at this. This is from two plus two where people are making all kinds of fake poker posters which are pretty funny but this one is far and away the best. (if you are one of my non poker friends you wont find this funny) here is the link to look at the others- http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=160195

im back in vegas with a ton to talk about but its late and i dont feel like staying up to post right now. Check back sometime tomorrow afternoon to see how michigan was and what ive been up to since my last post, it seems like i havent posted in forever.

-Nechita-

Let the good times roll..........

If you cant tell already by the title of this post things have been going good. The weather is really nice out, pokers going good, and ive just been having fun. If you didnt see my last post it showed how i came so close to winning a WSOP main event seat and ive came to the conclusion that im done playing tournaments on my pstars account. I really wish i had a way to check all my stats over all my tournaments on stars because its really rediculous and almost mathematically impossible to get it in as 80% favorite and lose everytime. Im not just saying this because of the wsop seat ive really felt this way for a good while now but have just been stupid enough to think that one day my Aces will finally hold up against random hands, nope im done. Funny how i play way more hands in cash games and take probably about 5% the amount of bad beats that i take playing just a few tournaments. So with that being said i would like to officially tell pokerstars tournaments FUCK YOU haha.

The weather has just started to get really nice here in vegas and of course im going back to cold michigan haha. My flight is tomorrow morning at around 945(gross) and im still not sure when i will be coming back. I bought a one way ticket because it was cheaper and i really dont know when im going to want to leave. It will most likely be sometime next week like tues or weds, or i will stick around for easter and be back next monday. Im arriving in michigan around 445 tomorrow and am going straight from the airport to Joe Louis arena to watch the red wings. Ive wanted to go to a game all season but they were always out of town when ive been home this year so im really looking forward to it. The seats i got are pretty shitty because it was kind of a last minute idea but it should be a good game because they are playing Dallas who is pretty good.

Its around 1:00a.m. here and i really have no idea how i plan on getting up in a few hours. After last nights mess i dont think im going to be able to fall asleep tonight without taking a sleeping pill. I would like to just stay up but like i said im getting picked up at the airport and we're going straight to the game so i dont want to be a zombie all day tomorrow and i cant sleep on planes. Anyways back to last nights adventure..... I start getting ready and have a few beers before we all meetup at DragonFly around 10pm for some food, drinks, and bottles of sake. Im just about to walk out the door and receive a text from clay saying that hes picking up a special suprise guest and not to go there until 10:30. So now im already with nothing to do for the next half hour so i decide to have a few more beers and own some fools online real quick. I played some 10/20 and 5/10 for about 20 minutes and made a quick 2.5k, a decent start to the night. I arrive at dragonfly a little after 10:30 to the usual entourage of clay, john(chatter), ace, and the 2 special guests of the night who were Belowabove and the Wacokidd. For any of my non poker friends these are two of the top online tournament players in the world and are probably the definition of balling haha by poker standards. I dont really feel like introducing them anymore but im sure if you yahooed or googled their names a zillion things would probably come up. Anyways we chilled here for quite a while (until around 2 or 3)killing drinks and bottles of sake (Aka- kool-aid) until we decided it was time to head over to the http://www.spearmintrhinolv.com/index2.html RHINO, oh boy haha. Ive heard many stories about this the rhino and its considered the top strip club in vegas and i had never been here before so i was interested in seeing what all the fuss was about. It lived up to the hype but in the end its still just a strip club but i would definately say it was probably the best one ive been to. There are like a million girls and they all look amazing which at any other strip club there might be like 1 or 2 that are amazing but here they all are. We had a pretty big group with us so it took a minute for us to get a table but once we did it was on. The drinks and shots continued to flow and it was a pretty fun night. We ended up chilling here until the sun was out so im assuming it was probalby around 9 so by the time we finally called it a night. good times.... I got back to the apartment this morning and instead of passing out like a normal person i take a look to see if there were any good games to bet on. The only game that i liked was the houston rockets at- 5 against the hawks so i (stupidly) drive down to the redrock to throw 500 on it. My hot streak of betting continues as they end up winning by 8. Anyways the sleeping pill is kicking in here so im out and check back in a few days to see how Meeechigan is going.

Ship the 500- (dont know why this came out so blurry)


-Nechita-

FUCK

click on the picture to see my latest failure. Instead of a 12,500 world series seat i win 350 fucking dollars, so gay. Get it all in with QQ vs. A8 off and sure enough i get raped deep in a tourney again, this time it cost me around 12k though. Fuck tournaments. thats all

............

Sorry i couldn't really think of a good title for this so I'm just going with the ................ . as the title of this post. Its mostly going to be a bunch of random things from the past week so i bare with me. I had a huge post written up a few days ago titled "i hate poker" but it somehow got deleted before i could put it up and there was no way i was going to write it all over again. The lost entry was pretty much a rant about losing 5k in the first few days of the month and about how i think online tournaments are totally rigged but I'm okay now and don't hate poker anymore haha. I want to talk more about how i really do think online tournaments are rigged but i don't have time right now and i will talk more about it in the next post i promise, its something I've been meaning to post about for a while. Lets just say i feel my account is doomed when it comes to tournaments and the good tournament players just have lucky accounts. Anyways ill discuss all that in the next post for sure. Other than that i haven't been playing a ton of poker but have been doing okay and have grinded back to about even on the month.

I don't really know why but I've had the itch to bet on sports games lately and its been going really good, almost too good. Ive only been betting like 100 or 200 on a game here and there but I've just been running insanely hot. I think I've won something crazy like 11 out of the last 12 bets that i have placed over the past week and this even includes a 3 way parlay from the other day. I put 150 on the Celtics tonight at -6 in the first half against the bulls and they managed to cover by 20 going into halftime haha, ship the monies. Another game that i absolutely loved was the warriors at -5 against the heat but by the time i got to the sports book the line had jumped all the way up to -8 and i decided to pass and go with the Celtics, warriors won by 35 haha, bad beat.

Its about 730 Friday night and I'm still debating on whether or not i feel like going out tonight. I have no motivation to get off the couch right now and i still feel pretty shitty from last nights festivities. Last night i went from not planning on going out and doing anything to getting bottles, doing shots, and staying out until sometime this morning. I started off with my usual routine of collecting peoples money to pay for my night(aka- playing poker) and doing a some predrinking at the Wynn. This went pretty well by me winning a little over 1200 on my very first hand haha.

Quick hand summary- I post after the button and pick AK of clubs, 2 limpers to me and i make it 25 to go, both the blinds and the limpers call, eww. Flop comes J10 8 with 2 clubs, a decent flop but certainly one that hits a ton of hands. everyone checks to me and I decide to bet 75 with the intentions of going all the way if reraised here. small blind calls quickly(putting him on like 109/89) and one of the limpers reraises it 160 more and he only has like 200 more behind. Normally i would reraise here and put him all in but i wanted the small blind to come along too because he had like 700 more so i decide to call and pray he calls as well. Instead once i call the small blind insta shoves all in for like 480 more. The other guy calls off his last 2oo and with how much is in the pot theres no way im folding at this point and i call. turn comes a 7 of clubs giving me the nuts and the river is a 2 of hearts. Small blind had 89 for the turned straight, other guy didnt show, and i win with the nut flush, easy game.

Then i headed over to meet up with over at the Luxor where a friend(molly) is in town and some of her girlfriends had a table/bottle at http://www.laxthenightclub.com/ LAX. Thursdays are pretty weak at LAX but the table was right on the dance floor and it was a pretty fun time there. After the bottle was gone it was starting to clear out so we decided to head over to Empire and get another bottle. Empire http://www.empireballroom.com/ is this sweet after hours club that plays the best techno I've ever heard but for some reason it was extremely dead last night. Its usually packed every time I've ever been but i guess last night was just an off night. We chilled here for a a few hours and once the bottle was gone everyone decided it was about time to call it a night. or morning whichever way you look at. I got back and shouldve passed out but not before i played a little 25/50 haha. I didn't get too involved but woke up with my stars account 1.5k richer so that was nice. The only thing i really remember from the "session" was talking shit nonstop to "thegrumpyone" for some reason?? haha oh well.

Alright well this was supposed to be a quick update post but is getting way too long so I'm going to finish this up. I think I'm going to head down to the Wynn here in a while to play some poker and decide whether or not i want to go out. I know I've been slacking on the updates but I'm going to start posting a lot more from now on, i mean it this time. I didn't really get to talk about everything i wanted to so i will post more tomorrow for sure so check back for that and to see how tonight went.
