OOPS Forgot bout this weekend!

Well Well Well...I forgot to post about this weekend's game...

Game went till 7:30 PM Saturday evening..I should've cashed out when I was WAY AHEAD!!!

2 rebuys for me for a total of $228 bucks...ran dat up to $1300 at one point...

Here's what happened...

4 handed at this point...

I get KK

I limp, Rock calls, Jesse raises to $10, Val Folds, I re-raise to $30, rock folds, jesse calls...

Flop: 10 6 3

I bet out 25, he raises to 50, I call...

Turn: Blank

I bet out $55, he raises to $150 and im like shit..."all in" "Call" god damn it

flips over 10-10 set of 10s on the flop..."how much do I owe you man"

I'm steaming...

stack took a hurting...

rock hits me up when I flop a set of 4s and he turns a straight....another all in hand by me and I get caught up...stack is now down to about $300... I'm fuckin steaming..

Play extra loose and very fuckin aggressive and run my stack back up to $700 bucks, I break val kickin it up a lil closer to $800 and game breaks...

I swear the swings in NL are fuckin brutal....still up for the game so I aint trippin, I'm just fucked up cause I was playin solid and laying down great hands and I told myself I wouldn't get into any "big hands" and I get involved in 2 hands within 15 minutes to kill my giant stack...

Im a donky....fuckin donky....

Big Syd's tourney tonight so I'll be heading up there to try and take it down and get more of this money! Wish me luck!

Oh yeah, I started a group on here called, Da Nutz

So if you are trying to join my group, please do...I want to start having private tournaments on one of the poker sites and hopefully start having this on a weekly basis!

League Night - 7 Card Stud

Not bad of a showing last night...

20 or more players last night for the League game...can't really remember, but top 3 was paid out...and you guessed it....BUBBLED the tourney...but its my fault which leads to my next decision of online poker...anyway, 4th place in the 7 Card Stud Tournament...wasn't bad...didn't expect to make it that far though...

So while I'm playing that, I jumped on Bugsy's Club to play a tournament...decided to play a $5 Razz tournament...yeah im cheap, but I am not a regular razz player, I was doing real well till the final table again...BUBBLED LOL da fuck man??? 4th place with 3 places gettin paid out LOL I did real well...

Here is the problem which is why I'm going to slow down playin online Poker...

I Either play a tournament soon as I get home, if not, the 9:00 PM or later tournies are just too late...i get too tired, get too restless then end up makin stupid mistakes...I'm good while im awake and aware and concentrating, but soon as I start falling asleep, I try to push to either bust out or just win...plus I chase too much...soo on that note...late night poker online is DONE...either early when I get home, or weekends I'm stuck in the house...stickin to live play during the week..usually what it is anyway...

Still gonna play league though...

Playing Big Syd's tourney tonight out Mitchellville...I need to take it down..fuck cashing, 1st place is the only acceptable finish...Wish me luck!

What the hell happened this weekend?

Friday Night's Game

What can I say, a regular evening at my spot for my Friday $1/$2 NL game. Full table all night long, 7 handed in the morning till afternoon...Was doing OK with a decent stack..then it went to shambles plus more...how? I have no idea...tired, tilted...just can't say stop just to keep the game goin...I have to learn to quit while im ahead or before im stuck too much....fucked the rake off plus $200 of my bread...upset like shit...someone needs to smack da shit outta me for getting stuck like that...sleep it off all day Saturday...

Sunday Night's Game at Big Chris House

This game is not like my game, more of a friendly game with the stakes being .50/1 NL...lots of fish, just go here to watch Sunday Night Football, hang with the fellas, and get twisted...while I always buy in at $100, I ended up pissing it off to someone out drawing me every time...fuckin insane...im home early...not playing poker the rest of this week till Thursday...Gonna stay home for a change...

What in da hell just happened? Gonna read a book the rest of this week and get my shit back together...

Horrible plays this week...

Huh man! First off, Travis and Noelle ran a $100 Freeroll tourney b4 the game started...Me and Bessman chopped it up for $50 each...

Sat at the main table...got about 6 dudes waitin for a seat with more folx comin to the game, so they decided to open a 2nd table...I jump off the main table and sit at the 2nd table...for some reason I like playin short handed...anyway, the table was all new faces, so that was an advantage for me as well...

Long story short...ran my stack to $525 makin some loooooooooose ass calls last night I was in the game for $200 so I made a $325 profit...not bad...left at 4AM....Tired as shit this mornin and I gotta go to court today LOL

Online Sucks!!

OK...

Monday's League tourney...i was on fire at the beginning...but yup, again I maintain my nick name...bubble boy...but I blame Ice Princess for fuckin sitting out forever leaving the 3 of us to battle and I end up on the short end of the stick...Mind you this was an Pot Limit Omaha game as well...then sat at PDoggie's private SnG for 7 card stud and that is not my forte LOL

Tuesday Night

I reload on AP to transfer $11 to Pdoggie and it wouldn't let me cause I need to keep $25 min in my account after transfer...need to reload more now..wish I knew ahead of time...

The Weekend

Whooo, what a weekend...I swear the weekends are just too short for me..

Anyway, Friday game was nice...We had Jack Daniel's Sauced Ribs and also some chicken and steak fajitas from TGI Fridays...off da hook, everyone was pretty pleased with the food...Didn't fair too well though, dropped a couple hundred in the game...and played till about 8:30 AM...game was short compared, but thats kinda what I wanted...so I pretty much gave the rake back and just made enough money to break even for all the food, freeroll and high hand bonus.

Oh yeah, this was the first game to play on the new table...lemme tell you bout this BULLSHIT ass table...

First off...it wasn't the table I was expecting, so already it aint on my good side...then on top of that, the shipping gave it a funny smell that was real strong when I first got it, but its fading away...

Secondly...The shipping BANGED MY TABLE UP...I had to repair it already...tightening up the bolts...2 pieces of support was cracked so I had to duct table it back LOL, then one of the cup holders cracked...then the far end of the table...**BASH** someone fucked that side up that I had to put electrical tape to match the rail but nobody noticed it I don't think...other than that, I like the felt and that its soft under the felt not like the folding table from Sports Authority...anyway, don't get no tables from EBAY...this time, im not half assing it and just grabbing me a quality poker table...im so mad at this retard ass table!!!!

Went to sleep for a couple of hours...woke up to go to Pops STT Head Hunter Tourney...5th place...Bluffed at the wrong time...im out 5th place to Columbia Nick...oh well..good game...

Saturday Night...oooh there's a story for this evening, but lemme stick to the poker for now...catch the funny ass story I have at the bottom...anyway, went to Launtz home game which he usually has once a month, this time he made the blinds $.50/$1...borrowed $100 from Dealin Kenny, ran dat to $700 bucks!!! Not bad...so im feelin good now..Glad I play at Pops cause I might of lost my shit and the side story definately wouldn't have kicked off LOL

Sunday Night, went to Big Chris house to play..I gave him my old poker table...Hard to play with the crew, they just don't like playing with outsiders...why I have no clue, but to improve there game, I would think they want too...but I guess they don't wanna put so much on the line down at my house on Fridays...so Its always cool to play with them...They always play $.50/$1...sat with $100, ran it up to almost $200, got wreckless and pissed off the first $100....rebuy for $100, playing tighter, winning small pots, get mixed up in a hand and turn a flush, I push, but the 8d not only gave me a flush, but filled up Lil Ryan and he takes my stack...I go home cause everyone is planning on cashing out...LOL FUCK...so Im pretty much even for the weekend.....

SIDE STORY - FREAK A DEAK

Yeah, so we leaving Pops house and Kenny sees this chick waiting for the bus, he says she been standing there waitin on that bus for a good lil while...so he stops to holla at her...no type of rap game, da bitch easily rides and says its her bday on Sunday...BET..."do you smoke/drink" she says yup, so we pick up a bag and get her twisted LOL...she keeps stressing to get her to Annopolis by 9PM so we do what we need to do...fuck, kenny hits me up with, you drivin da bitch home...fuck it, bet so I'm tryin to hurry up so we can get to Launt'z game b4 they call it quits cause it started at 6 PM its already 8:30...meantime, the bitch keeps sayin she gotta piss...fine...we pullin into the Bowie exit, lets hit the gas station...none, so we stop at the restaurants by the movie theater...I tell her to go take a piss inside...she says "you aint gonna leave me is you"? "NO...I'll be right here".

I turn around and tell kenny, I'm bout to leave this bitch dawg. he says He don't give a fuck, fuck dis bitch. LOL we toss her shit out on the curb and roll da fuck out...BLOWN...kinda fucked up but fuck her. LOL

Start of the new league season...looks like its mixed up tourneys with NLHE, PLHE, PLO, PLO8, LIMIT, and STUD..can't wait to play, so need to reload on AP

On yeah...played a couple ring games...NLHE and PLO8...took a $50 hit on 1 hand on NLHE LOL got sucked out...but doing OK on PLO8...so I'll see what I can do this evening.

Thursday Night's Tourney @ The Club House

Wasn't too big of a turn out tonight...supposed to be 15 players, 2 didn't show up, so it was a total of 13 players, we played a headhunter tourney, the $10 went under everyone's stack so when they bust, they give up that $10 bucks to the player that busted them out...

I'm first out! LOLOL HUH man!!! Tammy takes me out with T8o floppin a Queen high straight to my AQd...ouch oh well...I dealt the rest of the tourney, the ladies cashed while the fellas sat at the cash game table...

1st: Anne
2nd: Tammy
3rd: Noelle

Congrats Ladies!

Sat with $150 at the cash game...played tight, cause tight is right LOL sike na, but caught some nice hands, ran my stack up to $650 and pissed $115 of it with my AA vs. QQ when Eddie hit his Q on the river to give him a set. "CASH OUT" fuck that, goin home with some money....$385 profit Plus its already 3:30AM and went around 3 times after I said I was cashin out when im UTG...so I prolly deserve that hit cause I didn't leave when I said I was...

I'm tired as shit this morning...2 hours sleep, not lookin forward to a long night tonight for my Friday game, but hmmmm definately worth it!

I'll post this weekend or on Monday how this weekend turns out.

Nelly and Travis' $1/$2 NLHE Game

Looks like this game is no longer in Takoma Park, but at the club house...so convenient!

anyway, was tryin to make my way up there, but yeah...my iPod fucked up, and wouldn't turn on...determined to get it working b4 I go down there, look at the time, its almost 1AM and I'm still tryin to turn it back on LOL

Go Figure...I love my iPod LOL

Bubbled in a STT on JetSetPoker...Thats it for tonight

Tonights Jet Set Poker Tournies

Reloaded last night with $50 bucks to play that end of the month special tourney...JSP is running $1 rebuy tournies and final 9 make it to the end of the month as all the buy ins, rebuys and add ons are added up through out the month for a bigger tourney at the end of the month...and every time you make a final table, you get to sit with more chips in the main tourney...sounds like fun...spent $5 bucks to make 13th place....duh...i'll try again...

Tonight, didn't do so bad..played an ATW sat. and qualified.



Played a $20+$2 NLHE $1000 Guarantee Tourney...Was way ahead of 3rd, even holding first for a while till the deck froze on me and it went all downhill from there...Not a bad showing though...Wanted that $250 though...



Skipped Big Syds tourney, so more than likely I'll be at Nellys and Travis' game tomorrow at the clubhouse.

This Weekend

OK, First off...I realize why I don't post as much on an everyday basis...I only post when im bored at work or i have a good winning...That pretty much defeats the purpose of this and more for me to help see a trend...anyway, knowing that, I will post everyday I play either online or live...

Now to this past week to get yall caught up...

Friday...uh uh uh...another all nighter game...I sat with max $300 and run it up a whopping 450...rollercoaster ride the whole night...till I end up fuckin it off to Scooter...oh well...

Saturday relaxed...(sleep) LOL

Sunday, chilled, then went up to Big Chris house to play a friendly game of .50/$1 NL. Fucked off $100 after runnin my $100 stack to a lil over $300...im such a fish..

I hope I do better this week...

I suck at this! and Poker! LOL

Alright, I see why nobody frequents my blog, its dull, boring and never gets updated LOL Anyway, I'm going to start makin this more interesting and I will try to stay on top of this...

Lets get caught up!

Well I'm doing ok in the MD League, skipped a game or 2, didn't make the final table on a couple so im sittin on 9th place...I make it to the championship final table (Single Table Tourney) so hopefully I can make some P.O.Y points!

Can't say too much though, been the same, Play poker at Travis' place on Wednesdays, Try to make it to Big Syds game on Tuesdays, and then My game on Fridays...Gonna start doing tournaments every other Thursday and an Omaha Game every Sunday, So we'll see how this works out.

Hit pretty big 2 weeks ago at my place...flopped the ass end of the straight, Travis hit a set of 7s
E: 46o
Travis: 77

Flop: 578
Turn: 10
River: Blank

I'm UTG and check
UTG+1 makes it $12 to go
Travis raises to $75
I re-raise all in
He says "E you know you fucked up right?"
I'm like shit im fucked...specially when the turn was a 10...

anyway, "ship it!"

Dude limped in, im in da blinds...I JJ7 on da flop...I check, he puts me all in, I call...dude is pissed...so the older gentleman says do you still want to chop? we are pretty much even stacked so I say, lets chop $200 each and play heads up for the $100...I take him out with A9o to his A8o as I spike the 9 on the river!

SWEEET $300

2nd SnG we running long...the final 3 players including me, are tight good players...I played with one of the dudes in the daily MTT Tourneys at the Taj...uh oh...6:15 is here, they have been seating for the $120 tourney...I say, man this is the table im supposed to be sittin at...all 3 of us are registered for the tourney, they want us to move...lets just chop and play the big tourney now...so we chop $200/$200/$100 with me being 2nd chip leader while I was chip leader the majority of the game...

SWEET $500

$100+$20 Tourney - 145 players paying out top 18 players...

I bust out in 28th place...very short stacked with blinds way crucial...I swear I need to work on my late tourney play...im ok till the blinds go way past me and my chip stack doesn't keep up with the blinds...

Waitin for T to finish up the tourney cause he is in the money now...I tell Kenny..look at the fish waiting for the SnG to fill up...im registering...i get that table..final SnG for the evening! WOW I dominate the table...dude offers a chop when we heads up..says...just let me get $100..I say ok, I'm way ahead of you so ok...its NLHE so anything can happen, and I want to make sure I get paid so I chop...I know I could've whooped him heads up, just wanted to guarantee my $400

SWEET $900 total for SnGs for a total profit of $510...lost the tourney ($120) so I'm only up for the trip $390...not bad ...made money on Friday at the same time too...so not a bad weekend!

Anyway, just a recap of the month...

First off I have been crushin the home tourney circuits lately...

Took Down Brians from MD-Poker.com Wednesday tourney..haven't played since, he hasn't really been having home tourneys lately, so I remain KING OF BRIAN'S CIRCUIT LOL

Pops STT Headhunter, cashed for 3rd with 1 bounty...

Had a STT on Monday, the 11th, took 1st place.

As far as online...ehhh...not too well in tourneys, can't seem to have the patience for some reason...so haven't really been playing lately...Can't decide where to put my money in online, think im going to try out Ultimate Bet...

As far as the cash games been going, im up...had a bad weekend this week, but looking to make it up on Friday...tonight can't decide if I want to play Travis and Noelle's game but gonna stop by and see how its going...might try my luck though...took a punishing this weekend...dropped 2 balls at Nicks on Sunday...

might just chill and play online but we'll see...

I'm going to make it a point to post each and every game I play from now on...either Online or Off line...

Been a while

Sorry folx, like its a bunch of you who read this blog anyway, but I just haven't had alot to talk about..just the same ole same ole playin poker..nothing big.

Skipped work couple weeks ago to go to AC, played for only 5 hours...sat with $150, cashed out with $636...not bad for a day off at work and playing for 5 hours...

I did sneak a pic before I cashed out lol

I'll post it later...

But the past 2 days I played on Paradise Poker plaing some tourneys and placed in the money...seems like when I always run cold on cards towards the end...

Here is my finish for May 22, 2005



Here is the one just finished...so close yet so far...



Thats bout it, playin online, playin round the different games...looking to go to AC soon for a tourney or a major one if I can...but I'll check in more often...

E's Poker Weekend at my spot

Had my $1/$2 Cash game this weekend.

Started at 8:00 PM with a satellite to my $165 Buy in Tournament in Bowie on the 23rd, Big Chris won a seat for $30 bucks! Congrats to him! Chris has been dominating lately on the felt!!!! I'm bout to take him down, he just don't know it yet!

my other table we ran a $1/$2 NL game..during the course of the night, had to break up the table into 2 tables cause it was 12 bamas tryin to play after the satellite tourney...

anyway, I sat with $100 bucks...was very patient, was on top of my game...
Cashed out $900 and some change!!!!

took 2 bad swings

1st swing:

i get dealt AA in the hole

I raise to $15 to see the flop.
dude calls me

10/4/7 come on the flop

I ask, how much do you have? he says $75 bucks is what I have, I tell him, I put you all in then...bet is $75.

he thinks....he calls...

we turn over our cards...

AA vs. T9o (Ten/Nine off suit)

im winning the whole while he is chanting, come on 9, come on 10.......river = 9 fucker spikes his 9 to give him 2 pair...im pissed...

very next hand...

I have T9 lol and I have no clue what this guy has...

everyone just limps in...

flop T95

I check, he bets $5, I raise to $25 hoping he runs, he calls quick...

now im think, trips? 2 pair for a split or smaller 2 pair? flush draw?

Turn: 5

great...now what do i do? I check cause im tryin to get a read on this guy

he checks now im all confused

river: blank can't remember, but it doesn't help neither of us

he bets out $50...i know I should fold now. but I couldn't let it go, so I call and at the same time I say this is a very bad call man, im paying you off...
I turn over the 2 pair he has a full house... he was holding he lower 2 pair and filled up...pissed...

anyway, couldn't get back in it cause im on tilt now and ready to quit, so I end up quittin an hour later....cash out $900 something and go shopping on Sunday :lol: Not bad huh? gonna try my luck in a bigger tourney on tuesday now!!!!!! hopefully take that down for 1st place and make another $1000 bucks!!!!! wish me luck yall!!!

Saturday was a bust, 2 folx showed up and nobody else did, I did cancel the game, but the word didn't get to them yet, they were pissed Im assuming cause I would be too, but I offered to waive the house fee next tourney to compensate the no game w/no notice about it!

Great weekend of poker though!

Going to move my Saturday Tourneys to Tuesdays at Kennys, See if this works out cause I can't keep having games at my house, its killing me!!!!!!!!!

Birthday Weekend

Official Birthday is the 12th you all!

In Attendance:
Myself
Sharpe
Duffy (Sharpe's Folx)

March 11: Start of the birthday weekend, Leave around the way about 7:30 and get to AC around 11:00, do my thang then head out to Trop. No wait at the Trop! Sharpe is seated with me as well. I didn't do too well, got tangled up in some pots with Sharpe. Just catchin a rack of dead cards..oh well, dropped a load there, go back to the hotel, get some breakfast cause we leave the Trop at 6:30 in the mornin. Get about 2 hour sleep and wake up to register for the Taj tourney.

March 12: Registered for the Taj Tourney, was packed in there this day, 3 different tourneys running at the same time. our daily tourney was about 175 players...didn't do so bad, but could've done better, blinds were killin me, and didn't have any cards to play. I bust out in 55th place, so I grab duffy and sharpe hit the buffet and head to the Borgata, get to the borgata, long ass wait, its about 6:00 already, I said we would stop in there before we leave cause they need to see the 'gata...we end up leaving the Borgata around 3:30 in the mornin, got tangled up in the wack ass highway and ended up missing the turn to get to the hotel, so we said fuck it, lets mussle it back home...im knocked out like shit the whole way home, get home around 6:30 AM sunday mornin, Sharpe drops me off cause he is stuck about a G and says, throw a game together tonight.

Dats all I needed to hear lol, game time tonight at 7.

Had a good time for my bday, expensive, but a good time, can't wait till April to go back up to the Taj and take a shot at the tourney again!

Big Syd's Tuesday Night Tourney 3/8/05

Whoa...30 folx this time around. College Park crew came about 8-10 players, increasing there chances in finishing in the money and putting there crew up with a higher percentage in win rates...

Of course 3 of them make the money 1st, 3rd and 4th.

I made it to the top 20 at least LOL

Played very tight, no run of cards, tried to bluff at a pot with pocket 2s and got stuck in my tracks without following up on the bluff which did cost me the pot, cause I believe had I banged it or atleast made a reasonably large bet, The Captain would've folded his 2nd best pair specially after I tried to bluff the Ace.

Stole 1 or 2 pots with all in after we condensed to 2 tables. Then had a legitimate hand to push with...everyone folds, 1 caller...

QQ Vs. AA

Dominated, need a Q to hit the board, Nothing...AA takes it down, im eliminated.

Cash games was nice, 2 tables...went with the table I played with the folx more often. Did ok, was up almost $100 and took a big swing with my 2 pair KT and JuneBug had AK lol da fuck did I step into.

Sat with $100 in cash game, cashed at $105 lol
Tourney -$60
Total for the night: -$55

Gonna try and make it to Brians Wednesday Tourney and cash game, but tired and need to do laundry...so I'll prolly make it out there, still debating...

Been a While

OK its been a while since I have been on here..been real busy with runnin tourneys/cash games at my spot and work. Been alot goin on with me lately I'm so damn tired. Between work, family, and online poker during the week i gets no sleep!

Well I can say I have been doing shitty in tourneys lately. Since I took 2nd in Syds tourney, I haven't been doing well, bustin out early even at my tourneys. Cash games I been killing.

Just yesterday, played in a crazy ass cash game, totally "home" game rules with alot of loose cannons that throw money away like its trash! Will and myself did pretty good at that game, but the past 2 weekends since the tourneys, I have been averaging $700 bucks for the weekend.

My birthday is coming up so we headin down AC to play in a couple of tourneys on Saturday, the 12th at the Taj and sit in some cash games at the trop and make some bread b4 we head back home.

Gonna play in Syds Tuesday tourney, Greg's Thursday Tourney, then AC Friday night and play in some ring games then Tourney Sat morning! Big plans this week so hope I can make a lil more money to add on to the bank roll!

Full AC Report when I return!

Big Syds NL Tourney 2/15/05

Played pretty well! 25 people, $50+$10 buy in, came in 2nd.
Was heads up with Jesse one of the Terp Boys.
Should've chopped with him, but since I haven't takin down 1st here, I decided to go for it! Chop would've been nice considering it would've been split right down the middle for $468.50 each of us instead of takin in $312.50.

Well lets see how the night went. Started out very slow, in on the table 2 with ScottieA, Aaron, ScottN, BJ, Ben, Brian (dude that plays at Bumpers), myself and I think im missing someone, but his name is not coming into mind right now. Aaron kept callin it the table of death lol. Anyway, 2nd hand into it, Aaron and ScottieA was battling, ended up pushing all in for the both of them forcing ScottN to fold his would be BOAT lol. Scottie has the nut straight with Aaron catching the smaller straight. But why was I dealing and ended up flipping up a Ks that was supposed to go to ScottieA giving him Big Slick unsuited. I ended up giving him a 10h which made him suited with his A lol. He was chip leader for a while! im hanging in there losing to blinds not playing alot of hands.

anyway, game breaks down to the final table.
I come into the final table 9th out of 10th very very short stacked.
wow what a come back, after being 7th of 7 i move up to 4th, then made another power move to 3rd as folx were getting eliminated.

Got heads up with Jesse, i had him 2 to 1 at first, lost a couple hands, got down to even then just trouble. I flop an open ended straight. He pairs his 9 on the board. (flop 689 rainbow) I got 74d and was able to check preflop. I pegged Jesse pairing the 9 cause he bet out 2000 i raise all in hoping he runs. he doesn't lol, i miss the straight so im down to my last 4000 chips. end up pushing all in off some BS Cards and paired my 7 which doubled me up. go at it again, 83c in the small so I push again lol..83c VS. A4d oh well, I'll go for it again next Tuesday, but this is my best finish yet!

I have a feeling I'll be in the money more often now that I have learned my strategy as long as I stay with my game plan, im good to go! I can say that I have been makin the final table with no problems now i believe i can be in the money all the time no problem.

Glen Burnie Tourney is comin up Saturday, but I will miss it because its Cheyenne's first Ice Skating class and I wanna be there for her, but that evening is my Headhunters Tourney! as of today got 13 registered so hopefully it should fill come Saturday and I should have some good stories from this tourney. Hopefully this can be an every Saturday Event if this one goes successful, This tourney will make or break the decision if this should be an every saturday thing.

Best believe I'm takin this one down as well!!!!

$50 + $10 NL Holdem Tourney 2/13/05

Started out slow. I thought it was only gonna be a 8 person tourney. I was hopin to fill 2 tables, but we will see how the turn out is next week.

Anyway, it was a full 10 table game, I take down 1st place, Kenny takes down 2nd and Dennis takes down 3rd. Nice size prize. I tried to chop with Kenny as he was ahead by alot of chips, I ended up takin all his chips when he refused to chop. 2 hands.

Cash game was brutal, dropped a lil bit in cash in the cash game, but I swear the cash games just get juicier and juicier every time.

Hope I get a better turn out next week, im happy with a 1 table tourney regardless...

I'm gonna have to defend my title next week and make my bounty higher!

Scott's Tourney

Played in Scott's tourney out Severn.
$50+$10 Buy in.
Think it was about 16 or 17 folx playin.
I came in the bubble out 5th place. I went all in with A4d and tried to get everyone to fold to steal some blinds, but dude to my immediate left had Pocket K and beat me. Oh well, I could've waited for a better hand, but I tried my luck and lost.

Oh well...I'll just get ready for my Saturday night tourney. Hope I take this one down!

AC Trip Sunday - Tournaments

Left my house at 6:00 to go to one of the dudes house to catch a ride up to Atlantic City, it was snowin like shit and I was supposed to be out Aron's house at 6:30 lol... It was about 12 of us that went up to AC, all folx I play with in poker tournaments round here... So we go to Trop to play in the 11:00 AM tourney, it gets capped at 180 and they are now giving alternates seats..fuck that, we go to the Taj Mahal to enter in there 11:15 tourney...its some of the folx from the trop there too so it filled up kinda quick. A little bit over 100 players. This tourney prize pool is a lil bit over $10,000. I'm playin some solid poker, breezin through for a while until blinds get up there and im below avg chip stack steadily gettin my money eatin with antes and blinds...

My 1st powerfull move of the day, im very short stacked sittin on about $1800, antes are 200 blinds are $400/$800 and im in the big blind so i just paid $1000 bucks in blind...i get dealt 2 clubs/4 diamonds VERY HORRIBLE CARDS...flop comes out 10/10/5 everyone checks around, YES FREE CARD! Next card: 2...I'm now thinking to myself, lookin at everyones reaction, so i say, everyone checked, there is no way anyone is playing a 2, no one is playing the 10s cause they would've bet out at least $800 if not raised...i make my move..."all in" 800 bucks...everyone looked confused lol 2 people fold, 2 call me, they both check on the river...1 guy turns over AQ and another guy turns over pocket 6...im dominated with the dude with 2 pairs....so im yellin before the river card to come out come on 2 for the river...RIVER CARD: 2!!!! wow i clapped and fuckin had teh biggest sigh of relieve...i filled up full house!!!!! some spectators clap, pat my back and says good hand! im still in it!

so now im sittin on $4800...steal a couple of blinds, and get up to $7800 couple of hands later... next big move! I get dealt Pocket A (A/A) wow im boosted now, so I put on a lil act cause I know the chip leader will bet into my all in...so i sit there contemplating to all in...after about 1 1/2 minutes, I push "all in" with a $7800 stack...my man Big Syd calls me but he is short and he is pushed all in...he plays with me on Tuesdays in a tourney and he placed 12th in the WSOP this past up AC...then chip leader calls for the full $7800. everyone see the comotion cause me and big syd stand up cause we are all in, all the spectators come over to watch...i turn over pocket Ace, syd has 10/9 suited, and dude has pocket Jacks...the crowd is like WOW so im yellin no jack no straight....no flush possibilities out there so im good...i win the pot! we go to break! with 18 people left! BAD NEWS: I cruise through barely hanging on winning some pots makin my chip stack at $35,000 at one point...blinds at this point are now antes $500 with blinds at $1500/$3000 which is eatin me up pretty fast.... PLACES PAID OUT: 10 (final table) My official finished place...11th 1 spot from the money...

First Official Cash Game

OK, I hosted my first official cash game advertised to the general public on MD-Poker.com

Turn out was about a good 13 folx...I didn't play and just dealt. Had 2 tables set up just in case I brought in a rack of folx. Bought a bunch of pizzas and sodas.

We played $1/$2 NL Holdem. Kicked off about 8:30PM then went till 4:30AM

Everyone had a great time, seen alot of bad beats...I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to study some of these folx to get some tells out of them, but it was a "friendly-cut-throat game" hahahaha

I would call it a sucess with a full table the whole night, and if I can get a 2nd dealer, I'll definately have 2 tables runnin..till then, I have to make sure its 1 table and not more so there won't be a waiting list, even though there was a waiting list,but most time someone waited to get a seat was not more than 30 minutes...

My plans now is to have one every other weekend beginning the night with a free roll tourney for $50 bucks to warm the night up then get into some good NL action!

Thursday Night Cash Game 1/20/04

We played a cash game at my house, very low stakes... $.50/$1 blinds...even though the blinds are small, this can get pretty thick...

Anyway, This game did me no good. I got bluffed out a big pot and it was tilt from there, I couldn't pull out of it, actually it was 2 big hands that put me on tilt last night...

THIS HAS TO BE THE ONE OF THE WORSE SUCK OUT NIGHTS EVA!
I can't believe the maniacs I play with...

one of the hands last night...I raise with K10suited. everyone folds except the player to my immediate right. Flop: K 9 10 rainbow. I flop the top pair and dude bets out $5 and I raise to $20, he calls all in for $17 bucks over the $15 raise. I turn over my K10 and he turns over his pocket 5 (Why would he all it in with 3 overs on the board?) He turns his set of 5's and im fuckin pissed like shit.

Now I know Tall Jaye bluffed me out of a pot when I flop top 2 pair KQ and he doesn't hit his pair until the turn which is an 8, but there is a straight sitting out on the boad. He doesnt even have connector cards and he is calling all my bets and im firing out $7 to go, then $15 to go then I check the river cause of the straight possibility out there, so I automatically think he is fishing for his straight and catches it, I bet out $10 just in case to feel him out and he raises me all in. FUCK he hit his straight huh, I respected his bet and turn over my top 2 pair and he turns over the 8 and leaves the other card blank which he couldn't even hit his straight, only thing is if he had the other 8 hidden for a set then I would feel better about the whole thing, but he didn't show. now that had me on a major tilt.

Well that was my night, I started choosing the wrong times to bluff at the pot and my last hand I had D beat to the river when he rivers his flush and takes me out the game...all night i've been sucked out of the better hand from fishers drawing for there cards and for them to draw out there cards were not cheap, I made sure it was expensive but I guess they think cause im betting that way, i have shit, but I made sure they know my hand is made and next time ima catch them fishing its gonna cost them like shit...fuckin chasers, can't stand that shit...suck outs are the worse beats ever....

So I decide to reload my absolute and stars account...i ended up playing stars when I busted out and was doing pretty well, I bought in for a 2 table $10+ $1 tourney and ended up busting out 8th place gettin sucked out then made my money back plus a lil bit on the NL ring game i was playing then disaster...I raise KQ in late position and I have 1 caller...POCKET 5'S again. Flop: KQ5, dude bets out $5 and I raise to $20, he re-raises me all in and I call very quickly, he turns over the pocket 5's and im dead...all that money is gone, now I gotta find me $11 bucks for the MD-Poker snow in tourney for tomorrow night's player of the year tourney...

Supposed to be a blizzard on Saturday so I'm going to see if I can get a cash game on for tonight...Holla atcha yall later...

Inauguration Eve NL Holdem Poker Tourney

$50+$10 Buy in for tonight...3 tables of 8 totalling 24 people playing... 4 places being paid out tonight...I know the majority of them well played with the majority of them on Big Syds Tuesday night game. Had to scoop my man Travis plus he was spotting me cause my check aint hit da bank yet...so I had to place tonight to pay his ass back.

I took down 4th place paying $120, doubled my buy in...not bad...considering I could've at least got 2nd place with 1 hand I got sucked out and missed 2 key hands...the rest of the night was perfect, I played the right hands and bluffed the right hands at the right times...I think Scott bluffed me out 1 hand, but its all good...

One hand I think I got bluffed out on 1 hand...Blinds are at 150/300 and im in position UTG+1, UTG folds I raise 700 pocket 2's 1 caller everyone folds. Flop: AA3 so I bet out 500 and get raised to 1000...i ended up folding and Big syd said he flopped the boat so that's 1 A out and I believe that Scott had it so it was a good fold now that I'm thinkin about it [img]http://jm.g.free.fr/smileys/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm moved to table 2 now...blinds are 200/400...I limp in with K10 Off and get 2 limpers with the BB checking to go...Flop hits Ac/Jc/3d everyone checks. Turn Qc. I turn my nut straight. Guy to my left bets 400 and I raise to 1600 to go, the guy is thinkin hard and calls me...and the dude to my left folds...River Xc...I'm thinkin FUCK...I check...guy bets out 1000...i actually sit and think and put him on a flush now that there is 4 clubs sittin on the board...im pot commited and thinking did he hit or not, its only 1000 and im pot commited, I call...nut flush, dude is holding an Ac with a rag, playin my raise with a baby A kind of shit is that? Suck out of the night...so i kinda feel like im on tilt so I wait it out and wait for a crucial hand to play again and start a rush back...

One of the college park boys, Adam, moves all in and im sittin AJ Off...sit and think, and decide to gamble, I even say i shouldn't be calling you...he turns over 10J off...we both miss and I win A high...

Final Table....

Blinds are at 300/600 and I raise my pocket 8 to 1800 to go...Big Syd raises all-in with 600 more to me...so I have to call...we are heads up and he turns over pocket A and I don't even want to turn my cards over cause im embarrased lol he wins, I'm down to 2 black chips...$2000 left and every one is big stacked to me...action goes all teh way around and end up blinding all in on my BB, no callers, i take down the small blind for $400 which pays my SB this round...end up folding and losing it...so BB gets back to me and its now at $500/$1000 so im in $1000...i end up going all in wih $2000, 2 callers...Im holding K8off, and I flop a K...im ahead and I know it...the 2 that are still in are fighting for the pot and I'm thinkin im dominated with a high kicker...I end up taking down the main pot for $6000 which puts me in a more comfortable position and between the 2, the dude hits his 10 on the flop with A kicker winning the side pot...

5 Left, Big Syd All in...no callers except Scott which he won and bubbled Big Syd out, im in the money, jive boosted but can't be to cised yet, i want that 1st place for $600...end up gettin KQoff and move all in, scott raises all in and dude calls and 1 folder, im dominated, i have one of scotts outs though, hoping 2 queens come out on the board, scott turns over pocket K and the other guy fuckin forgot what the hell he had, A8 or some bullshit...im out..

I pay Travis back and go home with $60 bucks..oh well, thats my buy in for my Saturday Single Table Tourney unless we end up playing poker Friday night at Big Chris or My house...usually cash game...but we'll see...maybe I can double dis joint up!

1st: Scott - $600
2nd: Dude - $300 (New Face)
3rd: Joe - $180
4th: Ehonda - $120

Catch yall up

OK, I jumped on this blogger thang all late so Let me catch yall up on my road to the WSOP...

First off, let me start off when I started playin poker...I started playin poker with my boys around the hood really before all this ESPN Poker craze jumped off...We have been playing since late 2000. Why did we start? well im an Ex-Crap player. I was hung up on craps and was losing way too much money at the crap table up Atlantic City. Then we play a game called Tonk at home round the way if we are not playin dice, and max folx can play tonk is 3 we sometimes squeeze 4 in there, but $1/hand, max $3 for a tripple..hardly worth all the hours of game play we was puttin in. So I said, let me learn poker and teach some of these fools how to play and then it was on and poppin!

Now we were not pros, but we did have some wild ass nights, we did alot of Dealer's choice games with wild cards and so many wild variations. The wildest game we ever played was a game where we had a reset card. If that card showed up, everyone that did not fold was still in play, all chips remained int he pot and everyone had to throw there hands in and redeal that game...wow the pots got so fuckin big it was crazy...this was a true maniac's game LOL

Well we started gettin better and started playing the casino way to get us ready to play up AC.

So we felt we were ready after a couple of years playing so we decide to go to the Borgata and play in a re-buy daily tournament. Wow we were not ready, I did outlast 4 of my buddies but ended up busting out the round after the final add on. LOL The strategy was not there yet, back to the drawing board...

So we played many nights, throwin our own tourneys and got better in our play...

I can say I have seen the money in some of our tourneys and even took down 2 of them 1st place.

**On-Line Poker Sites**

I play on-line also, and I must say, this is a great way to get a game w/o rounding up the fellaz...I play on pokerstars and paradise poker more and I play on absolute poker for my online poker league. I stuck $25 bucks on poker stars at the beginning of the year and got it up to over $600 bucks. Played in a couple tournaments placing in the money, ring games are off the hook always making tons of money on those lol cashed out and now im sruggling to get my funds back up to where im comfortable again. Looks like im down to my last $20 bucks and might have to reload that thang on up again...but knowing me, I can get that $20 bucks back to $100 then its on from there!

**More Recent Times**

Now that its 2004/2005 now, I hooked up with MD-Poker.com and the folx that post over there check it out www.md-poker.com I started playin in more home tournaments and playing with people I have never played with before...This has totally improved my game overall. Cash and Tourneys.

WSOP Circuit was in AC recently, and alot of us from MD-Poker and PG Rounders (My crew of poker players round da hood) made our way to AC for the weekend, though I didn't play in the WSOP cause I missed the No Limit event, I played up the Trop and didn't do too bad, of 160 players i busted out 48th place. Not in the money, but definately an improvement!

After coming home from AC, I still had some money from my online games so I decided to buy a poker table and a laptop so I don't hog the computer from my daughter and my daughters mother playing poker...now im broke lol

Last tournament I played in was this past weekend at the Glen Burnie Tournament and of 43 folx, I placed in 8th place, got put out with a drunk maniac. This tourney is well run! I will return next month to take 1st and rack up on more player of the year points.

Well I'm waitin to get off work and make it to my man's Scott's tournament tonight, its snowing so fuck dat...I'll be there to try and make dat money!!!!
