dead from the past few days....
I am really tired from the trip up to mt. pleasant so this is going to be a fairly short post. The poker room up there is really pathetic and probably the worst ran room i have ever played in. The dealers were absolutely terrible, they would keep having mis-deals, dealing really slow, and some times not even knowing what was going on. The only no limit game they had going was a 1/2 100max buy in (pathetic) and i just have a hard time taking limits that low seriously. I won like 250 the first day and got unlucky a few times the next day and ended up losing like 350. So overall i lost about 1-200 playing against retards and ended up dropping like 400 during the trip ( damn strippers). We ended up only playing for like 3-4 hours each day and proceeded to get completely wasted both nights. We stayed at this kids house in bay city where i have never been before and it was pretty cool there were tons of bars on like every block. I was/am really tired but i did play for like an hour just kind of fooling around and was able to make like 1k so that was nice. I'm not sure how much i am going to be able to play tomorrow because i still have to get tons of stuff ready for Vegas on Friday. So check back tomorrow to see whats going on, here are a few hands from today's tiny session and I'm out. Oh and i promised on st. paddys day i would give a shout out to one of my obsessed fans..... haha so here you go Jenny.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?927006 - nice to pick up aces on your 2nd hand of the day.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?927011 - me flopping the nuts and not getting sucked out on.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?927013 -me flopping the nuts and pwning this guy. haha no but really i think i played this hand perfect. He is a pretty good player and when he bets right out there i immediately put him on a 2. So against a lot of players i would just call here but i know that by raising hes going to put me on an overpair/diamond draw. So once i just call his flop reraise im pretty sure he has me on diamond now so i push all in on the turn to sell the idea of a diamond draw and it works as he called instantly.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?927036 - this was a very frustrating hand because i played it so perfect and the idiot sucks out again. Also it was one of my last hands for the night and i hate losing a big pot before getting off and instead of being up like 1k i shouldve been up like 2.4k.

Quick update on where i've been
I have been really busy the past 3 or 4 days so i haven't had any time to play poker. I plan on getting at least a couple good sessions in though before i leave for Vegas on Friday. I am going to the soaring eagle casino in mt. pleasant tomorrow until Wednesday so i wont be playing online at all but will be playing some live poker. Anyways that is why i haven't been posting at all so check back Wednesday to see how mt.pleasant went and I'm out.

A losing day!!!!!!
Well i think the title pretty much sums up how my day went. The thing that sucks about this is i feel like i was playing pretty good and just got unlucky in a few spots. I really would've been up a good amount on full tilt like 2k or something but instead i lost like 700. I was playing really well on ft, picking up a lot of pots, but got my money in a few times as a huge favorite and got sucked out on. Usually this really would piss me off but i am really happy about the way i dealt with the bad beats. Instead of getting pissed/going on tilt i really buckled down and was able to turn my 2.5k deficit to only being down around 700. As for pokerstars i don't really know what to say about whats going on there right now. I haven't had a winning session on there in over a week and i really think I'm just going to stay away from there for a bit. I am running really bad on there which is leading me to play defensive poker and i just feel like i need to take a few days off from there. That pretty much sums up my poker from yesterday and I'm not sure if i will be playing tonight or not so check back tonight or tomorrow and I'm out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?902766 - here is where i really get unlucky with my kk. This guy had been playing a lot of hands and when he calls im very confident that he has somethin like 99s-qq. This is a pretty good flop for me and for him if he thinks that i was raising with a hand like ak. So i throw a very weak looking bet out there of 140 just hoping he puts me on ak and shoves his pair and thats exactly what he does. I then inst-push his last money in and then of course he hits his 2 outer gg me.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?902788 - This hand really couldve went either but i missed my 80234048024 outs that i had and lost. Once he bets the 50 on the flop i know he doesnt have the straight but something like 910/q10/qj so i decide to check raise here. I play a flopped straight here the same way and if he just calls im pushing the turn regardless what hits. instead he shoves all in and i figure i have a zillion outs and feeling like gambling but i miss gg me.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?902808 - here i go with my read and am completely wrong. I had him on a hand like 78 or spade draw on the flop so once the turn comes a blank i decide to push. Unfortunately i run into a monster hand but i still think my play wasnt that bad just a bad read.

A winning day!!!!!!
It doesn't seem like i have been able to say I've had a winning day in a while so i figured i would make it the title. I have been doing really well in the 5/10 nl game on Full tilt but i seriously haven't put up a winning session on pokerstars in forever. Its almost to the point to where i am scared to even play on there and that is no way to play poker. I did play in the big 215 buy in tournament today on pokerstars and it was a total waste of time like usual. There were like 10000 people in the tournament with it paying the top 1300 and i managed to bust out like 1700th or something, huge waste of time. Luckily i was able to put up some good numbers on Full tilt again so i am at least able to say that i had a winning day. I had another losing day on pokerstars so hopefully i can turn that around one of these days since i haven't won on there in like a week or so. Anyways here are some hands from today and I'm out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?897487
http://www.pokerhand.org/?897494 - pretty standard result for when i get aces all in preflop
http://www.pokerhand.org/?897497 - an ok flop followed by the terrible river
http://www.pokerhand.org/?897502 - no club on the river?
http://www.pokerhand.org/?897505 - Here i pick up a nice draw on the turn and couldve checked and saw the river for free but i was really hoping he had a weak A and i could get him off it. Once he check raises i know he has a big hand and is going no where if i push so i decide to just call and i miss everything.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?897507 - Here i lose a big pot right before i was about to quit playing and i hate it when i do this. In my opinion this guy played the hand horribly but he ended up with the money so good play i guess? I really hate his flat call of 250 on the flop here because he is really calling hoping for a 2 because if a 7 comes off then he could be beat and if not its going to slow the action down big time. But as you can see he hits the perfect card and i end up losing a big pot right before i got off.

Day # 45
I am playing right now in the Sunday tournament on pstars so this is going to be a short post until later. Yesterday i played on fulltilt and pokerstars without any success. I was playing really well but it just seemed like nothing would hold up and i was missing every draw. I was about 1k on the day until I lost 2 big pots on full tilt that really prevented me from having a winning session. Here are a few of the hands from yesterday and check back later to see how i did on the day and in the tournament.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?896110 - i think pstars wanted me to get it all in on the turn here and go broke.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?896125 - the donks on full tilt trying to give their money away but the site wont allow it.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?896137
http://www.pokerhand.org/?896146 - suprised a 10 didnt hit the river.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?896159 - Just me getting it all in and being river fucked for another big pot.

back in the saddle..
I am officially back from my break! I played for like a hour Thursday but nothing really happened so yesterday i played my first official session since the break and put up some pretty good numbers. I am playing right now so this post is going to be really short until after i finish. I only played on both full tilt and pokerstars for like 3 hours but was able to finish with a good profit for playing so short. Anyways here are my results from yesterday and check back later to see how i finished today. I will post hands later.

My return to the ring....
As I'm sure many of you have noticed i haven't posted in a while and that is because i haven't been playing any poker. I was running/playing pretty bad there last week and i decided to just take a few days away from poker to clear my head. I went cold turkey for the past 5 days from poker and really hope that the break will get my game back on track and actually make me excited to play rather than look at playing as a daily grind. My plan was to get a good session in today but i had to much running around to do so i am going to make my Ali like return to the felt tomorrow. So with that being said I'm going to watch Lost and check back tomorrow to see if i can get this goal back on track.

Day # 42....The losing streak continues.
Well today was supposed to be the day that i turned things around but that just didn't happen. I lost another good amount today and have extended my losing streak to 4 days now. It really sucks because i am a little behind pace now on the goal and lets face it, losing 7k in 4 days isn't very fun haha. Today was pretty much more of the same,running bad, getting out drawn, not hitting any draws, and running into huge hands. It does suck but to tell you the truth i really haven't had a bad streak like this in a while and i almost felt that it was due. Today i really feel like i was playing great but every time i would start to get anything going i would lose a huge pot and be in the negative again. The thing that really sucks about being in a streak like this is the fact that it really changes the way i play. When i pick up a big hand now i play scared like i am going to lose the pot no matter what and that is just not a good way to play/make money. So hopefully this ends tomorrow and i can get back on the right track with the goal. Well that sums up my shitty day on the tables, i don't feel like going over hands from today, and I'm out.

Day # 41..... Another bad session
Today I had another pretty bad session making it 3 losing sessions in a row. I don't really think i played all that bad today just was on the losing end of every big pot i was in and was getting drawn out on a lot. It definitely sucks because i was cruising right along with the goal but after today i am about back on pace instead of way ahead. I cant really think of anything i have been doing different the last 3 days that have led to my losses other than the fact i have lost every big pot i have been involved in. I have a lot of stuff that i need to do tomorrow so i am not sure if i will play or not and i think that taking a day off might be good right now. I say that now but i will probably end up playing tomorrow so who knows we will see how that goes. Anyways here are some hands from today's bad session and I'm out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?859483 - he actually said later on i made a good fold so i dont know whether that meant he had JJ or kk/aa,either way there wasnt anything i could beat here.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?859489 - here my aces get smacked. thats it
http://www.pokerhand.org/?859491 - this guy here is completely clueless. I make this play more often with a big pair and i guess he put me on A high when i reraised under the gun to 330??? Such a bad play by him and i couldve fired at the turn or river but i had him on something like 77-1010 and figured i would get called. He said he was just learning how to play and i guess im just happy a 2 didnt come haha.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?859504 - here i make a move and run into a big hand but i still had 12 outs but obviously i miss it all.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?859507 - such a sick hand for heads up. thats all i got.

Day # 40...
Today i was planning on playing in some of the big Sunday tournaments but didn't play in any of them. I really wasn't in the tournament mood and it was a 530 buy in today on pokerstars instead of the usual 215. Also i just don't think that my tournament game is good enough right now to be playing in that high of a buy in. Instead i played about 5 hours of cash games on both sites and did ok on full tilt and pretty bad on pokerstars. I played like an hour of 25/50 to start on stars which i couldn't get anything going so i quit that game down about 2k. So once i started playing 5/10 it was like i was starting off in the hole and i really think it effected the way i played. Also i kind of felt like i was just going through the motions today instead of really having my total focus on my play. I was making bad calls, running into some big hands, and just wasn't able to get any kind of momentum going. I hope tomorrow i can really focus on my play and put together a winning session to make up for the past 2 days. Anyways i am pretty tired from the weekend so here are some hands from today and I'm out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?856591
http://www.pokerhand.org/?856593 - pretty nice bluff here. I know he has ak and have played with him many times before and i was pretty sure i could get him to fold here by pushing the river. He said after the hand he did have ak but thought i had qq which i would play the same way and he knows that.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?856596 - had him on a hand like aq or some type of draw with his big raise. I come over the top to make it look like i have a real strong hand and once he called i knew i wasnt getting him to go away. With his bet on the turn being so small i think he had 89 on this spot.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?856599 - pretty standard for me.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?856600 - Here i make the worst call i have made in a while on the river. I went with my read but still i am only beating a bluff here and i really shouldve folded. Just bad play by me.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?856606 - another example of why the 5/10 full tilt game is great. The players completely over play every hand and as long as you sit back and pick up anything you are going to get paid.

Day 39... I played amazing and ended up down 1k, I love Full Tilt.
This post was from my play on Friday but by the time i was done i didn't feel like doing it so i will now. I played for about 3 hours Friday only playing on full tilt and i put up some pretty good numbers until i got raped. I played 3 tables on fulltilt(2,5/10nl and a 3/6nl) and i was playing pretty good. I was picking off peoples bluffs, picking up a lot of pots, and just really seemed like i couldn't do anything wrong, i was in the zone. But you might have just noticed how i said i was playing good until i got raped and i will tell you all about that in a second. When i quit my 3 hour session of playing the 5/10 and 3/6 i was up about 2400 and was done for the day with a nice profit, i thought i was done. So after drinking for a while we are about to go to the bar and i had like 10 minutes to kill so i decide that i am going to sit at 25/50 and just steal some blinds to make a few hundred more. After a few minutes of this i was up like 200 and we hadn't had a hand go to the flop yet until i picked up KK. I was about to just quit until i pick up KK and i manage to double up for 5k, so after this i cant just get up and leave because now I'm free rolling and still have a few minutes til we leave. He grinds a little of his money back and then the sickest pot of the night came up which obviously i lost. Anyways long story short i went from being up 2400 on the day to being down about 1k in the matter of about 10 minutes. It does suck knowing all my "hard" work from earlier was now cancelled out but i played the hands perfect and of course in true Full Tilt fashion got sucked out on. I didn't play at all on Saturday because i was pretty hung over but i am going to play in a few of the big tournaments today and hopefully get something going in them. With that being said here are some hands from Friday's play, check back later to see how i did today, and I'm out.
Hands from when i was up.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854857 - I had people trying to bluff at me all day and heres another.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854863 - I thought i mightve had the best hand but i dont know what i do if he fires like 300 or something on the river.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854868 - pretty sure once he bets the river i am beat but 4 handed i have a big hand and i pick up information by calling.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854875 - This guy had to be getting sick of me because this was like the 3rd bluff i had caught him in with another mediocre hand.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854882 - same guy again.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854892 - I dont know why everyone was bluffing at me so much but i just kept picking them off. pretty easy to do though with the nuts haha.
Now the 2 hands that took me from 2400 up to - 1k
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854899 - my hand holds up.......... weird
http://www.pokerhand.org/?854905 - just me getting sucked out on the river by a 4 outer for 13k haha. This was pretty sick i inst-called him once he pushed the flop and when they turned up the cards it was like i knew i had already lost before the river. So in true full tilt fashion i get it all in as a big favorite and lose once again, unfortunately it was at the worst possible time.

Tonight instead of going out i decided to play some poker instead. Im pretty sure i didnt miss anything to exciting in crazy port huron and i doubt i will get to play very much this weekend so i figured it was a good idea. I only managed to play for around 4 hours on fulltilt and pokerstars. I started off by playing 4 tables on pokerstars (3, 5/10nl and a 3/6nl) and finished off my session by playing 2, 5/10nl tables on full tilt. I didnt really pick up any big pots today but was still able to put up some ok numbers on both sites. For some strange reason both of the websites were pretty dead today and there werent many games going like there usually is. I hope it was just a slow day and that we arent starting to see the effects of neteller shutting down to the u.s. customers. Anyways i dont really have much more to say about todays play so here are some hands from today and im out. I might be going to michigan state tomorrow to see the crazys so if i dont post anything check back saturday or sunday.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848258 - normally i wouldnt check the flop here but i was positive he had jj/qq/kk and hoped he would hit something on the turn. The K was a perfect card obviously and theres just no way hes getting away from the hand now.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848267 - here i decide to play my set very slowly. I just call the turn to make it look like im on a draw with a hand like j10 or diamonds and i am really hoping a blank hits the river. The 6c is the perfect card because it didnt hit either of the draws i would be on so now i over bet the river to make it look like i missed and am trying to steal the pot. Once i bet he called immediately so the play worked perfect. Im not saying to slow play but sometimes in certain spots you have to in order to get maximum value out of your hands.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848275 - here i just get outflopped once i make the continuation bet of 110 on the flop and he calls i am done with the hand. Im pretty sure he had ak here.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848280 flopping quads and actually making money on the hand. I think that the river bet was perfect even though it made it look obvious that i had the quads he still called and that is what you want out of a bet like that. I think if i bet like 160 i probably dont get called but who knows with this guy because i wouldve thrown my 77s away on the turn.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?848287 - here i am pretty sure this guy has a big hand raising in the small blind and i have the perfect hand to bust a big hand. The flop is really good for me it gives me an open ended straight draw so i could raise but i am positive i will get re raised all in so i just call the 140 in hopes of hitting. I know if i hit the 10 or the 6 i am going to bust him so im getting huge implied odds which means i am really calling the 140 with the expectation of winning 1k if i hit my draw. This guy was a calling station and i know if i turn the 6 or 10 all the money will get in the middle because hes not folding his kk or whatever he had. Unfortunately i missed the turn and i just cant continue anymore with this hand after he bets the turn.

Day # 37/yesterdays session/ i hate omaha
I dont really feel like posting anything so this is going to be very short. I only played poker for about 2 hours yesterday and had some pretty good results in the short time. I played a couple short stacked guys heads up on fulltilt and busted both of them for about 600. I also played a couple tables of 5/10 nl on stars and didnt really pick up any big hands but i was able to grind out a nice profit of about 800. So i quit playing so i could drink some beer and watch the wings game and Lost but after those were over i stupidly decided to play some omaha. This was a bad idea because i pretty much ended up losing all of my profit on the day. I played 5/10 omaha and of course i made a sick call on this guy, got all in with the best hand, and of course got rivered for about 1k. So i guess it wasnt really a bad idea to play drunk because i didnt do anything stupid i just got unlucky so thats ok i guess. Anyways im not sure if im going to play tonight or go out so check back later im out.
Daily total- 295.87 (yesterday) sucks i was up about 1500 at one point yesterday too.

Day # 36....
Today was a really good day for me especially in poker. I was able to put together around a 7 hour session and was able to put up some good numbers on both stars and full tilt. Pokerstars started off pretty rocky and really stayed that way the whole time i played there. It seemed like every time i bet i was getting raised, every time i called i was losing, and every time i bluffed i was getting called. I wasn't really getting much going but luckily i was able to win a couple big pots which allowed me to have a winning session and sometimes that's all it takes. I'm not happy with my play at all today on pstars but the results are nice for really playing bad and running bad today. Full tilt was pretty much a roller coaster ride today. I played 2 tables of 5/10 nl and the tables were really playing pretty weak like they usually are. The reason i say it was a roller coaster is because i was up like 1500, then all of a sudden down 500, and finally i was able to get on a nice run before i logged off. The caliber of play on ft is so much weaker than on pstars it is amazing. Like i said before i really think i can make some serious money in the 5/10 on full tilt just as long as my hands hold up. Which with full tilt you never know whats going to happen when you get your money all in as a favorite, Full tilt has way more bad beats than on pokerstars its sick. Anyways i am starting to ramble on again so i am going to get some sleep so here are some hands from today's play and I'm out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841887 - bad timing.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841891 - Almost threw my mouse off the wall when the Q hit the turn because i had him on qq.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841895 - I was calling this bet on the river even if the spade didn't come. His big bet on the turn is where i realized he was running a bluff. I couldve raised the turn and put it all in there but i really had him on nothing and if a blank hit the river i am calling whatever he bets.
Fulltilt hands
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841900 - good call by me here on the flop but of course he hits the turn but i manage to catch back up on the river and win the pot.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841903 - really shocked when he folded the river here. The only reason i just called the turn was to save 200 if i missed but he didn't have the big hand i thought he did and he said after he had ak.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841907 - here i make a misread and it costs me money on the river. I had him on a heart draw so i checked the river hoping he would realize the only way he can win is to bluff but i was wrong and he had 2 pair. So i couldve got some more out of him on the river but probably not much more maybe another 200 tops. I am really surprised he didn't raise this up on the flop because if i limped with a hand like aa/kk he has me crushed.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841914 - no clue how my aa dodged all this guys outs.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841915 - sick thing about this hand is the other guy who folded on the flop had qq so my aces would've got smacked again. Luckily this guy wasn't a total idiot and realized he was beat on the flop.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841916
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841918 - here i was 100% sure i had the best hand on the river but i don't know what this guy was doing here. I had been playing a lot of hands so it wasn't like i was playing tight but i guess he had me on JJ or something?????? interesting.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841919 - thought he was stealing but he must have had like 99/10 10 and the K allows me to represent ak on the flop which he probably has me on.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841920 - this guy was clueless and as u see he donates to me.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841921 - played this so slow in order to fire a big bet out on the river but the J was the absolute worst card to come. I just call now because i cant fire out a big bluff here because he wont call with that board ,but if a 2 comes off or something i come over the top for like 200 more.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841922 - terrible play here by me on the river, after i almost check the turn i end up talking myself into calling the turn and the river. horrible play.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841924 - I have him on exactly qj here and i know he doesn't fold if i push the flop so i call to see if i can hit the turn and i did kind of. The 6 now gives me 4 more outs to hit the straight so I'm getting about the right odds to call the 200 more, if he has 3 more i have to fold here.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?841927 - this hand was really weird because i had almost like this 6th sense telling me to check the flop and just call him down here. I just had this weird feeling he had a big hand and he ended up having aces here and i got off really cheaply in this spot. If i couldve somehow folded the turn or the river it would've been amazing but a LOT of players lose way more money in this spot. They say sometimes poker players have a 6th sense and i could definitely feel it here, spooky haha.

Day # 35
Today i had a lot of running around to do and didn't get to play barely any poker. I started playing and within like an hour of playing i just realized that i was in no mood to play. I played 2 5/10nl tables and one 25/50nl table on stars, thats right i said 25/50 haha. I was waiting to get on another 5/10 table and i noticed that the 25/50 table looked extremely weak so i sat down there instead. I only played up there for about a half hour so i didn't really get involved in any big pots while playing there. I only played for a half hour because after like only 15 minutes of playing there like 3 of the top players on stars/online decided to join the table so i figured i should quit. Although I did manage to make a little bit of a profit for not really playing at all today. I am planning on putting together a 6+ hour session tomorrow so check back to see how that goes. So that pretty much sums up my poker today so here are some hands from today and I'm out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?838947 -standard result when i have aces.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?838948 -I really wished i would've bet the turn here instead of checking but my plan was to check raise but he didn't fall for the bait.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?838953
http://www.pokerhand.org/?838954 - Here i really messed up by betting the river. I knew he had absolutely nothing and shouldve checked the river to try and get him to bluff again. My tiny 250 bet was supposed to look like a freeze bet to get him to come over the top but i think the right play would've been to check again. I knew he didn't have aa/kk/qq or he would just check the river after me so the only way i would've made more money was to allow him to try and bluff one last time.

Day # 34
I am pretty tired so this is going to be a pretty short post. I played in the Sunday tournament and finished like 830th or something which was good enough to get in the money but was really a waste of time. I think i made like 60 bucks or something for the 4 hours of time i put into the tournament. I was just going to quit after the tournament but decided to sit down at a 5/10nl table and a 10/20nl table and it was a pretty bad idea. I lost like 2k pretty quick, my hands weren't holding up, so i decided to cut my losses after a while. With that being said I'm calling it a night and hope to rebound back tomorrow after having like 3 losing days in a row. Here are a few hands from today and I'm out.

Day # 32/33
It was a long weekend so i didnt have anytime to post anything but i did play a little friday and saturday so i am posting about it now. I only played for like an hour on friday and nothing really happened in that hour to talk about. Saturday was a different story, i played for like 3 hours,was playing really aggressive and within the first hour i was down about 2k. Instead of quiting i decided to slow down and try to get back to even but came up short after the 3 hours. It is sunday right now and im playing in the big 215 buy in tournament on stars so i hope to at least cash in it. There are like 3000 players left out of the 6500, im in 1600th position out of the 3000 so if i double up i should be able to at least cash. The tourney pays the top 900 players and first prize is 190,000. With that being said i am going to get back to the tourney so check back later tonight to see how i did and when i am 190,000 richer haha.

Day # 31
Today i only played for a few hours so this will be a short post. I had some pretty good results in the little amount of time i actually played. I wasn't even going to play at all today but i figured i would play in a few tournaments while i was sitting around. So my plan was to play 10/20nl for like a half hour to win money to pay for my tournaments and a half hour later i am up about 1k, not bad. So i quit playing the 10/20 when the tournaments started which was a big mistake because i absolutely sucked in the tournaments and the 10/20 game was pretty weak. I busted out of the tournaments about an hour and a half in so i decided rather that quit playing i would try some more pot limit Omaha. I played the 3/6 game which was playing pretty soft and i was picking up some good hands so i was able to turn my 600 into about 1100 after a few hours. Unfortunately i was playing on my laptop and i cant transfer over the hand histories to my desktop so i cant post any of my hands from today. Well that pretty much sums up my short session from today so with that being said goodnight and I'm out

Day # 30
Today was an ok day for poker and a SPECTACULAR valentines day. I had such a great time because i was able to spend the day with my true love, Jinx haha. We had some pretty fancy dining which included some cold pizza and fancy feast haha. Anyways enough bragging about my day and onto some poker talk. I didn't really play as much today as i really wanted to. I had the dumb idea of sitting down at 5/10 Pot limit Omaha which i couldn't believe how bad the players were at that level. When i say dumb idea i don't mean i was playing bad but i just don't think i know enough about the game to playing that high yet. But i was really in shock of how bad the players were at that high of stakes. I was cruising along up a couple hundred in the game then i got totally fucked over in a big pot so i decided to quit playing. I got all in on the turn with the nut flush and the other guy rivered out a straight flush on me it was so sick. He hit his 1 outer for about a 1k pot which pissed me off so i quit before i started playing stupid. Losing the money didn't make me mad it was the fact that i was playing so well and if i would've won that pot i know i would've ran that table over. So i will probably be trying out some more Omaha in the future but who knows i think i should read up on it a bit more first. Luckily i know how to play no limit and was able to win my money back within a few hours. I was able to turn an ok profit for only playing a few hours and starting off down 800. Well i just finished playing in the 20 heads up tourney that i said i would play in until i won and i just finished 2nd, so stupid. Yeah it did pay like 540 or something but to get that far and not win is a huge let down. I am so mad i don't even really feel like talking about today's play anymore so here are a few hands and I'm out.
