What a year this has been!!!
I managed to make it through the year with out a real job off dealing the local poker games and playing!!!! It has been rough though, I won't lie and it isn't an easy living...very stressfull and I don't get out as much as far as having fun with friends and family...That would be the only downside of this whole thing...maybe cause I have to grind at lower stake limits...But am I ready to step it up to a higher stake? I think not...I think I have to improve my game alot...I have to discipline myself alot and hopefully I can make 2007 a much more profitable yeah with alot more cushion to my bankroll...maybe if the money stops burning a hole in my pocket would help out alot...But December has been real good to me...I was running really well this month so I expect to run real bad in January...I don't think im that good to overcome fate or beat bad luck with skill to run well enough to make a huge profit this month so Im starting the '07 year with a break from poker, read a little more books, try to work on leaks in my game and alot of self improvement...as far as my health is concerned...and definately start building a bankroll to start off when I do get back on the felt opposite side of the box...
Being that the Holiday has caused me to miss blogging on a daily basis, let me catch up on the events that has been happening to close the year out...I just wish my last entry for the year could be a good one....Heh...Picture that...
After a good session at Goodfellas game, I dealt the College Park Game...Nothing new there, 'cept I got a little paranoid after blazing with charlie and got extra paranoid for some reason and cut out early LOL...it was morning anyway so I just called it a night....
Pink game went on as usual...It was a full game, but fell victim to Insta Break after Travis and Nelly had to leave a little earlier than Normal because of travel out of town for Christmas...I didn't ship it which was a good thing when I finally got into the game, but I didn't get to play long so I still wanted to play!!! Called Bill for the CP game and he said the game was about to break around 5am...I'll just call it a night and wait till saturday to play over in CP...
By the time I got myself together saturday Night, wanted to do some last minute shopping for Christmas, Called CP if the game was still going, game broke early, very early wow....tried hard to look for a game and a $2-$5 NL game was goin on in Montgomery County...when I called it was short handed so I said screw it, Bought $150 from Keenan on Absolute Poker and played online for the rest of the night...I played a $9K guaranteed Tourney online with bounties on the pros...$100 Buy in...Wasn't feeling it with 10 minutes left to start and tried to unregister, but can't...i missed the unregister deadline...I HAVE TO PLAY NOW...played well till I decided to play real bad when I flopped top pair with a KQo to a raise and 3 callers...guy in front of my pushed all in, Thought about it, called and the guy behind me just called as well...we checked it down cause dude was all in and he had Ak which domintaed me...Then got dealt AQs and pushed all in and got smashed by a guy holding a pair of 7s which held up...I was on the table with Lacey Jones also...
Big Chris had a Game on Christmas Eve...$1-$1 NL and I headed over there and proceded to play like an asshole...raisiing any 2 cards as normal over there, and flopping straights as soon as I sat down...wow..it was sick how hard I got hit with the deck...then all of a sudded shipped it, got it back, then shipped it again...I got in a hand with Frank where I flopped an OESD to his AQo where he hit Top Pair...He bet out, I raised him, He re-raised me, I went all in and he called, I tagged my straight on the turn and he argued the shit outta me that I made a bad play repushing when he re-raised me...I was supposed to respect that raise or somethin...I been hittin my draws all night, I was willing to rebuy if I missed but hit my draw...He argued with me which actually tilted me and I proceded to ship it the rest of the night....I didn't go broke over there, but remained stuck a small bit when I decided to cash out and go home...
Christmas was great, had a good time, felt good giving presents to everyone and spending time with the family....but what to do after that? I was supposed to run Travis and Noelle's game on Wednesday since they leave for Vegas on the 26th...I say happened to talk to Keon and say if the game doesn't go, Lets head to AC in the morning, Tuesday comes around and I locked a seat for Goodfellas Game in Odenton...Keon texted me and asked whats up with a game...I said Wednesday game isn't loking grim, but there is a game in Odenton, since Its that far from my place (20-25 minutes) We might as well just go to Atlantic City since the game was a no go for Wednesday...didn't take that much convincing to head to AC and we were off to AC around 6PM...cancelled my lock seat at Goodfellas game and headed to the Trop...
Got to the Trop and was seated at a boring, no action table...any raise, everyone folded...so I decided to play a little loose...picked up a couple pots here and there...then a guy sits down with glasses, and his iPod, starts raggin on a guy that has a ton of white chips...tryin to be cool...so I started talkin shit to him as well...I ended up busting him with AK when he tried to make a move, I raised him he went into the tank, exchaged some words and he pushed on my ass...insta call, my pair of aces held up, he picked his cards up and he did that with 3rd pair....he got up and left LOL...up a little over a meatball now, but shipped it missing my draws...rebuy, now im in the game for $400...shipped it...went over to Keon where he was sat on the same type of table and couldn't wait to leave...we head over to the Taj for the Midnite Tournament...
I busted 2 players the first 2 rounds and I was table captain till our table broke...I was running really well...it was 202 players in the tournament and I made it down to 6 tables left where blinds were outragouse at this point of the tournament...i raised pocket 77s 4x the BB and it was pretty much a 1/3 of my stack, guy pushed on me and I insta called cause we are heads up., figured I would race here..He turns over AQo and tags his Q on the river and he has me covered...I was looking for a double up to cruise to the final table, but lost that race, im out...by that time its almost 5am and decide to sit in a $5-$10 Limit game....I shipped $100 and figured it was time to go take a nap in the car cause I am not paying attention when I mucked a chopped pot that actually hurt me...stuck $550 before I go take a nap...
Take my nap and wake up and see Keon is still at the same table but with out the chips he had built before I went and napped...sitting there watching him, I decided to sit down and play to liven up the table...In for another $200, ran it up again to close to $400, shipped it down to $75, add on another ball...and shipped it, Keon shipped it, and decided that was enough ass kicking for the both of us to leave and go the hell home! stuck $850....I told Keon I was gonna run bad on the way up...I was due to run bad as well as I was running this month....
On the way home, I picked up a Bluff magazine and in the back there was a column with horrorscopes...I didn't read the whole columb but only read my reading...I look for Piscese and read the first line...."Jeez, you are fucked for the month, cards, dice, sports, romance, anything....." wow, thats pretty scary huh? Just more of a confirmation to take a break in January to build my roll up...
Not to mention I think we had a bite from Kharma as well...I get home, and because me and Keon didn't show up at the Odenton game, the game didn't go as there were only 5 players there with some coming from far that didn't get to play...Last I knew, the game was gonna be packed with a wait list so I didn't think the 2 of us mattered if we showed up or not...guess it did, and since we fucked his game up, Kharma fucked us up in AC....
I wish my last entry and my last trip to AC could be a good one, But the last game of the year at least for me will be tonights Pink Game, game is full at the time, I hope I don't have to jump in cause I know I'm runnin bad...supposed to go to Diggs New Years Party/game as well...he asked me to deal it, decided I wanted to play instead, got Kenny a gig to deal, now I'm going to see if I can split shifts with him instead of playing, if not, I might play, but I might just go to party though...
I wish everyone a Happy New Years and don't get too twisted and hope everyone brings in the New Year safe and sound!!!!
Thanks to you all that has made the Pink game successful and you ladies and gentlemen for reading me blab this year!

Goodfellas Odenton Game
Went over to Goodfellas game tonight...I was first on the wait list...finally got a seat around 10:30 or so...
won a couple of pots, lost a couple of pots and I paid a dude named Ricky off when we both flopped a King but his Ace was too big for my Q...sittin on around $76 bucks from my original $200 buy in...raised 36s in mid position to Tension...tons of callers...flop came out K3J...check to me and I shove my stack in there...everyone folds to Paul who thinks about it, then folds a K on there, I show my 36s for a nice pot...now im sittin on a little over $125...rebuild rebuild rebuild...helped that the deck hit me over the head...tons of pairs....my draws were getting there and i was getting paid off...
Stacked Merk on 1 hand when I raised my AQo and Merk just smooth calls me...we are heads up and I fire at the flop when it comes Q96(2 spades), I fired $20 on the flop and get raised to $45...I insta call and turn brought a 7...i check, he fires out $50, I call...river brings a J...he shoves his stack in for $132 and I think about it and call..."good call" flips over K7s...he ships it...
win more pots here and there...Ran my stack to $1100 before Kenny calls he is leaving at 1:30, Merk said the same thing, so I might as well leave as well...But Merk leaves a little earlier when he couldn't pull a bluff off to Rob with trip aces and he cashes out whatever he had left..he was pretty pissed...
I wait 2 rounds before cashing out a little after 1:30 for $1010....pretty good session...Been running pretty good this month..up a little over $3K for the month....hope this keeps up!

do you lay this down?
I was talking to kenny and i was impressed at his lay down...cause if it was me, its an insta call if i had his hand....
anyway hand went down like this: $1-$1 NL
I've been playing like a complete maniac, raising every single hand I got...its 8 players players...and im in the SB....
Limped all the way around to me...family pot, and I put $7 on top of the $1...$8 to go 8 ways....
Pot: $64
flop: 7d8c9d
I just go all in for a little over $125 bucks...folds around to D when he calls all in for less...Kenny folds..has a hard time folding, calls me a bitch then folds...every one else folds....
Kenny dropped a set of 7s
if it was me...my money is in faster than I can even get All in out of my mouth....Do you drop your set to my all in???

I Shipped It Quick and I know your Tells!
Dropped Cheyenne off at her mom's house on Sunday cause its her day to have Cheyenne....
Beep Beep...you have 1 new text message..."Game still going on in College Park, Come out if you want to play"
Bet! Go home grab 2 buy ins and head toward College park to play during the day before going to Big Chris house...
I get to CP and its 3 players with way over 1K in front of them, just muscled a 22+ hour session from the night before...Not even getting to see my big blind, I shipped my 1st buy in...look down to 8d8s, raised it to $10, got 5 callers...4d5c6d hits the flop, guy bets out $25, I call everyone folds...Turn is a 2c...dude hollywoods, thinks....bets out $25, I raise it to $75, he immediately goes all in...fuck...i don't have enough chips to fold and immediately call...Js hits the river and he flips over a monster 73o for the nuts..."rebuy"
luckily....Steve has been dealing all night, Meyoung has been there all night, Nooj comes in the door and Encore asked him to hold the fort down till he gets back....Steve says he will be back by 10:30 as well...I offer to get in the box till they get back so nooj doesn't have so much shit to do as far as running the game and being in the box since I was the only dealer present at that time...im safer on the other side anyway, so dealt till about 10:30 and not only made my money back that I lost, made some profit..walking out of there and heading to Big chris house to donk it up with the fellas now...freerollin I might add!
get to big chris house and shipped $100 in the game quickly..added on a niffty, then added on another niffty, then it began again...i was getting there and pushing everyone around again...its a $1-$1 Game by the way...Raise ATC was my plan of attack tonight...No matter what position i was in...$6 to go...$6 to go...I Guess they didn't notice, but when it was a real raise to $10 or $12...i had real hands...Kenny was the only one that picked up on that but wants to mention it out loud..but everyone else had a case of non believerism and shipped it... put Kenny in the game for a meatball, but will pay me back through the carpet man, so basically i paid $100 for my carpet up front...he shipped it...I Tried to make at least the ball i gave kenny but could only make $50 Cause everyone either had cashed out or busted so it was 3 handed after i busted Ross when i flopped a set of 8s...
There were alot of whispering between them...I figured out they were tellin each other what my tells were when i was bluffing or had a real hand..Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, what I know is that I act different for each certain situation with certain players...he might be on point though...I guess if you have a good read on me, you would be winning the pots from me...Right??? I remember stacking Frank twice, maybe 3 times last night cause he had a "read" on me...
All I know is ever since kenny said they were talking about me ...what happened to E with the different way I have been playing lately...more aggressive to them...but nothing has changed...They are speaking like they mouth be watering when they know im comin to the game...i haven't lost since Kenny told me that...and I will never lose again...stamp that today...I will never have a losing session over Big Chris House!!!! Now they think they have tells on me...oh lawd, wait to see whats in store next sunday or wheneva next time they have a game! Its a $1-$1 Game and I play differently when I play $1-$2 NL or the Pink Game...I can play like a loose cannon and have fun playing, chasing, sucking out cause it won't cost me a million dollars to see the next card like these other games we be playin at locally! Plus its fun to call all ins with Q6o to see the other guy sweat when i tag a 6 on the flop, but get out turned...its still funny to see the looks on these faces when the bullshit gets there! hahahahahahaa Ship It!!!!!!!!!!

Pink Pink Pink Pink
Some of the old school came to meet the new school this time around with some new faces showing up!
What can I say, I really love the Pink Game!!! I'm pretty sure you can mind a non-holdem' game in town, but it aint like the pink game! **Mental Note..BUY MORE PINK CHIPS!!!**
Yup..Apparently, Its not enough pink chips for play in this game...The Action can get pretty sick!
Game started last night at 8PM and ended...might I add because I HAD TO CUT THE GAME SHORT..because of other previous engagements...like my Daughters Birthday Party lol...anyway, the game cut short at 11:45AM...I could've easily got another game started cause it was only 4 handed at the end of the night...pretty sure I could've gotten more players to come back out to play!!!
Anyway, ran my original $200 buy in down that I had to add-on another $100 when i was down to $75 bucks...I looked down to a 3-story high stack of pink chips...close to $800 bucks...then I never seen such a swing...within 30 minutes...im back down to my original $300 buy in...Travis jumped back in the box and I told him he was getting his revenge back on me when I scooped a huge Stud h/l pot with AJ high and an 86 low...maybe im wrong, but he looked tilted the whole downswing of his stack till he jumped in the box...
Anyway...after that downswing, I ended up running my stack to 5 racks...ended up shipping the 5th rack 4-handed...Kenny didn't do too bad either sitting with over 3 racks...too bad he just didn't know how to keep those racks!
Shipped a couple rows of the 4th rack at the end of the game ending the game with a $930 cash out!

Tilt is a Helluva Drug!!
Tilt is a Helluva Drug!!!
Scooter raised it to $12 to go...2 callers behind him, im next to act..."upstairs" $40 straight to roll....I believe 2 callers after me, including Scooter....Flop was low...Something like 368r...checks around to me, I make it $75..folds to scooter who pushes...$83 more..."Call" Turn brings 9, Can't remember the river, but im drawing dead...."Straight" Scooter says...flips over the monster 7cTc...for $40 bucks preflop...Nice Hand Sir!
Now I'm not one to tilt...maybe I am and just don't notice...but I try not to tilt so massively...At least I try to set my mind to pull out of it...Really its something that I shouldn't be mad about...I want that call preflop...I had my stack in the middle with the best of it with 80% to win the hand...I don't know if Scooter thought I was bullshittin or just tryin to outflop me...but for some reason that shit pissed me off...then on top of that...Scooter finally found his voice to talk shit now that he got chips in front of him...So I proceded to leak all my chips...I find myself being able to recover most of the time, but last night...I Couldn't get out of it...I just OD'ed off Tilt and there was no return....
I read an article in Bluff Magazine about bad beats and how, I think it was Annie Duke's Article, that these type of bad beats don't fade her...she says nice hand, and moves on. Just like she writes in the article...you want these type of plays cause in the long run, its always profitable...sometimes, luck gets in the way of it...and I agree with that 100% which is why I learned to take the bad beats...but its hard...its really hard to keep that mentality at all times...I ran my stack to a little over $600 pretty easily...and shipped it off even easier...after having a decent stack in a $1-$2 Game to look down and its gone off some bullshit...can really throw you off our game...After that hand, I played so horrible....I played soooo bad....
What should I do when that happens...lets see...with the circumstances last night...game got short...2 players talking bout they are leaving within 30 minutes....I look at my stack...im still up, not as much, but im up a little over $150 over my original buy in...I should go home...specially steaming....Another way to look at it is...it could've been worse, I'm still in the black...no worries and play solid till the game breaks...get up for a breather before gettin back in the game...don't force wins either...I have to remember I want these fish to play the way they do...so don't berate the player...make them feel good about their play and get them to play the same way and let the cards do the talking, let the chip stack do the talking...bottom line, LET IT GO!!!....no reason to tilt specially if you are still holding a profit and making the correct DECISION before the bad beat happens...
I could've walked out with a small profit...now im stuck $200 that should be sitting in my bankroll thanks to
Tilt is a helluva Drug!!!!!
This was a pretty expensive "refresher course" on that horrible thing they call "Tilt"

KJ4 2 clubs on the flop...check, check, check, No No No...Bet...$50 bucks...Raise...All In....folds to Keon...Call...wow....I'm All In....Nelly drags the all the calls in, so Keon can see the raise for the side pot....Call...nice...Turn brings a Q...to make it interesting, River brought an Ace...I'm done...wow, My set holds up...Justin moved all in with a set of 4s...Keon ended up catchin 2 pair, KQ...Almost even...lets get this money!
I finally stack Katie!!! I was still scared especially when the board paird....She made it $10'sion to go...3 callers...I called with QJo in mid position...im 2nd to act...Keon, me, then katie...Flop comes out TK9, keon checks, i check, Katie bets out $30, keon calls, I make it $120...Katie shoves the rest of her stack in ther, keon folds...I flopped a straight...Katie sees the rest of the board...guess she has outs....Sucked to see the K pair up...she ships it, mentions she thought i was on a draw...OOOH..I'm up $14 bucks...cash me out....sike....
I can't leave a fun roller coaster ride! ran my stack down to $250 again...then the power of the duece-four prevails...the only one that respects the revised is Travis...I take a huge pot from Keon when I hit a wheel to his 2 pair..he neve saw it comin...
Ryan at the end of the night, shoves his chips in on a A24 board...Adam bets out $30, I insta call, Ryan calls as well....4 hits the turn...adam checks, i check, Ryan shoves all in, almost $100 or so...insta call...he is sick....very sick....wow, from a $550 swing, my stack is up to almost $900...playing 5 handed with Adam playing very aggressive, I was looking him up, but he was runnin really well last couple hands of the night...shipped some of my stack...I walked out with a $145 profit...whew...I tell you what, I Refuse to throw another party like that again...
Dealing Bill's game tonight, then Pink Game Friday, Pops game Saturday, Deal again on Sunday...Hopefully I get to pick up a new TV on Sunday if the lady didn't sell it...a 43-inch Hitatchi Flatscreen HDTV for my living room, $300 bucks...Can't beat that!

Raise...Raise...Raise...Raise...was the story of the night
I raised EVERY SINGLE HAND I WAS DEALT! They were sick too...Not only did I catch on the flop, even when i bet the flop lawd if i got to the turn, i was takin it down regardless...It was a roller coaster ride though, got in the game for $100, was down as low as $60 bucks...then peaked at almost $400...Mind you this is a $1-$1 NL game...
I Stacked Frank a good couple times...Frank cracked my KK with 66..I raised it to $11 preflop, he goes all in, i insta call..he is sick to see KK till the flop sets his 6s...I ship it...
I got mad at.... you guess it, Rosslyn cause for some apparant reason, she doesn't like playin with me...anyway, I raised preflop with A3 and Tamara was the only one to call me...flop came out 833...I bet it out and Tamara thinks for a while...Rosslyn says somethin like, don't be scared to call him...I said, please don't coach the players, she said she can say anything she wants too...I immediately argued with her, she was not in the hand, there is money in the pot and you CAN NOT help make the decision for her to call or not, she goes on and on and so do I and I actually get mad...Tamara calls and i said see, she probably wasn't gonna call...turn brought an Ace and I slam my chips in the middle like im mad that she did make the call LOL she ends up calling me and I say ship it, 3s full of Aces...ooops...I say...see, you made your own girl lose money coaching the players..good read Rosslyn..after that, I tried to get Jizzle to straddle and slid him chips to straddle...Rosslyn got Rule natzi on me and i was like ok...thats fine...I'll get her next time...she pretty much likes to lift her cards BEHIND her chips then make an action...I told myself next time I have decent hand that I don't mind going up against her stack, i would hold that as a bet all in...she would've been sick too lol...anyway, after that, i kept callin her all types of fish...singing i was gonna stack her..and I ended up doing it...lol
cashed out for a little over $300...Lots of fun!

Booo No Pink...Yeah!!! Atlantic City Here I Come!!!
It was a hard decision to not throw the Pink Game this Friday, but I Decided it was in my best interest not to throw it because last week, we played 3 days in a row at the spot where I host my games at...Pink ran from Friday till Saturday Morning, went home got a couple hours of sleep to go back to run a $1-$2 NL game there which ran till Sunday Morning...So I decided it was in my best interest to chill this week and head up to AC with my folks around the way to celebrate Rosslyn's Birthday.
Travis ran the Pink game at his spot so the regulars won't have absolutely nothing to do..plus its not a Friday without Pink!!!
Anyway, we head up to AC and I believe I played the best ever...not only cause I came out a winner, but because I didn't need good cards to play, I layed down monster hands when I should've, I was outplaying alot of the table, it probably helped that I had a huge stack in front of me, but it had to get there some how...and alot of raising, it sure feels good not to owe people money, and now my money aint scared money!!!
My plan was to play Pink, but when we got there, it was a 6 person wait, so I sat at the $1-$2 NL Table and it looked weak...Got in the game for $200 and first hour i was up to a little over $450...I don't ever remembering going under the $200..just went up and up and up and up!
I played a long session, the whole time we were up there till we left, it definately was more than a 20+ session, so I can't recall alot of hands...I just know the worse hands was winning and the best hands were standing up! I wish I can remember some big hands cause there were some big hands...but I did leak alot, at one point, my peak was $1300 and I ran it down to $600 at one point...Got it back up to around $800 and then got it back to $1300 with a big hand...Good guy, sat to my left, he wanted to check it down after the flop after he raised me and I called...I flopped 2 pair with QJ and it was 2 diamonds on the board, he has 4 to the flush on that flop, turn brought a Q, we both checked, River brought a diamond, I thought for a minute and threw a $50 bet out there...he went all in for a little over $300, insta call, he caught his nut flush, but was no good to da boat! I slid him $50 bucks to get back in the game, he was a good kid and he was the last person I wanted to stack at the table, next to JB, the old black guy that muscled the night away like I did...we both were tryin to outplay each other the whole time, we kept it real good between us 3...anyway, he played that last niffty and tried to double up with pocket 7s cept he ran it into AA. See ya homie...
I doubled up JB when I raised preflop to $15 with 44, he was the only one that called me and we were heads up...Flop came out A69, I bet, he called, ok, I put him on a big ace at this time, turn brought a 4, BOOM, Set of 4s, i check, he checks, River came J, I bet, $50, he raised me to $100, I went all in, he insta called his stack of around $250...i flip over set of 4s, he has a set of Aces...OUCH...we laughed...but inside I was mad as shit. LOL
I had a good time, cept for the Leaking...i swear I think I tipped over $300...oh, reminds me...I was so tired...I ordered a black coffee, this is after I went on a small tilt after doubling up the new chinese guy when he rivered a straight on me...I even raised his dumb ass on the flop with a big Jack and he though and called, he did have a gutshot when I raised him...I bet the turn, he still chasing and catches on the river...i never put him on that retarded draw...so anyway, waitress comes back with my coffee, not looking i tipped her a green chip...ooops...she sounded real happy and was like, that was odd, so did JB and the dealer, i looked down, i had 1 green chip left, "Shit, i think i gave her a green chip" the whole table was laughing, I was too, but damn, JB was like, ask for it back, I was like, na, thats like taking candy from a baby, I'll let her have it, did you hear how excited she was? she came back, dealer said you should ask her, i did, i said, don't worry about it if i did, but I Did give you a green chip right? she said yup, thats the first I ever got that too, she said thank you again, i said no problem, now i want another OJ/Pineapple juice please lol
oh, another hand, biggest fish ever...had pocket 10s and the fish called me in the 10 seat...check-call guy all night...I bet $35 to see where he was at, he called, I know he has an ace, so im pretty much done the betting and with the hand....boom, turn a 10, i bet out $50, he just calls, his stack aint that big after that bet, so I don't understand why he didn't push, oh thats right, previous hand, he had the best hand, but he only called the bet, he left 6 bucks behind instead of shoving it in...so i got him when he just trippled up...river brought a 10d now there are 3 diamonds on the board...i bet, thinks, he finally shoves and turns over a diamond flush...nh sir, 2 pair..ship it...he slams the table and gets up....
**Edit**
Thinkin of why he would've slammed his chips, I might of been a bit over board actin like an asshole during the hand...When I hit the set of 10s on the turn, he was takin a little while to make a decision, so I threw the dealer a red chip and said, NH, this is my pot, so I'll tip you now since he is takin long...dealers work off tips right?, table laughed and he just looked at me funny...He finally made the call...On the river after my bet, he took a little while again to call off his stack, He had roughly about $40 behind him and one of the stacks was a 4 stack of reds, I pointed to the stack and said "dealer, if he calls, this stack is your tip" table laughed again and he shoved....ooops
anyway, in for $200, cash out for $1400...never rebuying or even going under my buy in...
of course i took a picture, but did it at a time where alot of people werent looking, so they don't think i never had a stack like that, or look at me like im a pressed asshole...but yall know me, i like taking pictures of my bigger than normal stacks!
its at around $1100, so it wasn't the full $1400, felt good walking to the cage with 3 racks of red!
Travis ran the Pink game at his spot so the regulars won't have absolutely nothing to do..plus its not a Friday without Pink!!!

Donkey Coral
Went over to Travis' game on Wednesday to play some $1-$2 NL. Lost my stack to Bartender Pete when he flopped top and bottom with 86 and I caught top pair with the nut flush draw with A8...Pete bet the flop, I Raised him, he went all in, i insta call and couldn't catch my draw....i shipped it...
The most I was up was a good $50 for the night, but that didn't last long...
New guy in 1st seat I got the money from too...8 high board, i believe 258 and it was folded around to me and I bet at it for $17 bucks with A5...he raised me to $40, i call quick...turn brought another 8 out and i bet out $75 and he folds, mumbles somethin I was supposed to fold...I ask Why and I get no responce...
I doubled Matt up when I gave the rock to the guy to my right when it was his time to straddle so I can restraddle him...Matt was just finishing talkin shit to me how he was gonna stack me and he raised my straddle to $24 bucks, I raised it to $50 and he threw the rest of his stack in there and so did I, i had him covered, and flop, turn, river didn't help my AQd improve to his QQ...
I shipped it back to the new guy in Seat 1 at the end of the night to an OE straight draw and I aint have the stack to fold..I just shoved it all in there after we saw the flop and I went home...wasn't gonna drop too much money cause the plan was to go to AC on Friday....

$1-$2 NL Anyone?
Because I didn't think I Was gonna run my pink game on Friday, I had planned on running $1-$2 NL on Saturday since College Park wasn't running and Pops game was a no go this weekend...This is the start of a busy, very tiresome weekend already...And this only reminded me how tough it is to run a $1-$2 NL Game...its totally different than runnin the pink game...
Anyway, had a great turn out this past Saturday, with TONS OF ACTION...Wow...it was a ton of money on the table!
Game broke at 7:30 AM Sunday Morning...I didn't get to sit down till about 3AM when game felt like it was about to insta break...but luckily, some of the players wanted to play short handed, it was 5, then 6 handed for a while, went back to 5...and at this point, alot of us wasn't even playing the cards, but playing each other...it was pretty sick what type of hands were takin down pots...
I ran my stack to about $800 bucks, shipped about 2oo of it back before the game broke...So it was a pretty good night...LOTS of cleaning up this past weekend having back to back games...no more of that for me...tooo much work for me alone to do...
Finally got to sleep around 10AM after cleaning up, Taking My daughter to her mothers house in the morning...Had to get a ton of sleep cause im Dealing Wheaton Game Sunday night...
Game was slow, and weak...I shipped it...yup, fuckin around in the game...Big Fella Stacked me when he didn't chop with me..I guess he caught feelings cause it was short handed when we were supposed to chop, told him its short handed and not chopping till we get 6 or more players before I start chopping, Anyway, he didn't want to chop with me so I raised it preflop to 12 bucks with T4o he calls, Flop comes out QT7, he checks, I Bet $20, he calls, turn brings a 4, He checks to me again, I bet out $25, he says, lets see how strong your hand really is...um...now I NEED to fold, He min raises me and I insta call....river brings a 3 or somethin stupid...he pushes before i get to push, I insta call he turns over QT....ooops....I shipped it...

Black Friday...Naaaa....PINK FRIDAY
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Mine was pretty good, Ate well, Chilled with Family, Didn't even gamble...Was gonna shoot some dice with my cousins...but he didn't have any dice in sight!!!! Which is a good thing!
Earlier in the week, I asked all the regular pink game players if they wanted to play on Friday after Thanksgiving...Alot of them said no...Friday came around...And they wanted to play...So I got on it and put the word out, if enough interest for the evening, we was playing...And we played! Full table the whole night! I got stuck early, but crawled out of the hole and made a decent profit for the night!!!
Game broke around 5AM (I think it was that early)
Kenny jumped in the game and got his feet wet, Didn't have no clue how to play some of the games in rotation...so it was pretty scary when he raised it and even capping some of the betting rounds...
Game got short and decided to play Holdem instead of Crazy Pineapple, and took Stud H/L out and played Pitch and Bitch...it was a one time thing and the pink game will go back to the normal format when all the regulars play...
Added a new rule to Crazy Pineapple, well its not a new rule, but put into effect that its the players responsibility to discard when its time to discard and when the turn peels off and you are caught with that 3rd card, your hand is now dead...dealer will announce on the flop to discard only 1 time and collect the discards as you make you action...the dealer will not baby sit the players like the dealer did when we first started playing...speeds up the crazy pineapple rounds, makes the players stay on their toes...everyone liked that new rule on Friday so I'll have to announce it when the rest of the regulars show up next week...1 player was caught slippin once and he would've turned a boat...mistakes suck and are costly! Don't get caught slippin!

Show Me The Ace Man!!!!!
Dealing Zach's Game in Wheaton last night, game was kinda short, started late also, Since Bi was there before I was, he was first in the box...So I decided I would sit in the game to keep the table decent till other players arrived...
2nd Hand in I get dealt pocket K's but only got action preflop...took that down...
One orbit around, I decided to play A5o in the CO to a limped pot, 4-ways...Flop comes out A8J, Checked around to me and I bet out $10'sion and everyone folds to me, to get check-raised by Jimmy to $30 bucks..."Call" Happy Jimmy and I are heads up going into the turn...I peel a 5 and Jimmy bets out $50, Insta-Call..River, 5, Jimmy checks, I bet $50, he insta calls, I flip over 5s full and he says God damn it E...What The Hell Man??? Very Next Hand, Jimmy raised it to $30 preflop angrily....
Picked up small pots here and there, lost some small pots when I missed the flop here and there and I'm getting ready to jump in the box at 11PM till I get mixed up with Ken...
Again, I'm in late positon with 8s9c to a raised pot of $10 with 5 calls before me...Flop comes out 5s6s7s and Ken bets out $25, everyone folds, and I yell, Raise...as I'm counting my chips out, im not looking up, Ken doesn't hear me call raise and assumed everyone folded he shows his hand to everyone, everyone said wait a minute, E raised...he quickly grabs his cards and covers them up...Bi makes me min raise it and I do to be on the safe side and ken goes all in and tells me to fold...I saw a black AJ but not sure if its all spades, I ask what did he show, you gotta tell me dawg...he refuses...after asking a couple times, he shows me the Js...I know he has a black Ace, but not sure if its a Spade or Club...and I know Ken makes moves like this all the time...everyone is telling me to fold...I flip over my cards...if Ken is on the spade draw, I'm calling...after looking at the time, looking at my stack, I have about $170 behind me after the raise and whats in the pot, I say fuck it, Gamboool, im bout to get in the box anyway, toss my chips in, snap my fingers, point at the board and Bi peels out the 9s....BOOOOOM!! Straight Flush...Shiiiipppp Itttttttt!!!!!! Pops is Right...3 Outs or less = $$$$$$$$...Ken did have the Ace of Spade...OOOOPS
I sat in the game for another hour then jumped in the box cause the wait list was growing 6 deep at the time...
I made up for to Ken when I was dealing shoving him a $2400 pot against Earl, aka EZ-E when they are both the big stacks of the table with way over $1K each...going into the Turn, after Earl calls a $150 raise on the flop after he bets out $50, Ken goes all in for over $900 bucks and Earl insta calls on a KTxx board with out hesitation...Earl had AK vs. Ken's flopped set of Ts...He tipped me around $80 bucks for that hand...that wasn't the end of it for Ken...He managed to run his stack to way over $3500 after he can't miss a flop for shit..busting everyone left and right...Kevin that Deals Bills game with me on Thursday dropped a shit load of bread as well, after having his stack at around $400, Ken egged him on to add on another $500, the table didn't mind, and Ken ended up stacking him on a bad beat...wasn't dealing that hand, so I can't remember what happened, I just know that Ken cracked Kevin's Pocket Aces....

November 11, 2006 -Pop's Game
All I remember is I PLAY REAL BAD...one hand i remember was pushing on a K high flush draw on Merk and getting there...wow...Merk bet out on his pair of kings and i just pushed...i dropped a good $600 that night I believe...Kenny came out with me and I dealt the last 2 hours or so cause Nelly was tired...Tried to get my money back, it was a 5-handed game, kenny played 98% of his hands, Pretty sure you know where this is heading...lol...Scooter first put Pops on tilt after Pops showed Scooter a set of jacks on the turn, Scooter still calls the bet and gets there on his 6 high flush draw...Then Pops gets dealt pocket Kings and its a Q high board...Kenny pairs his Queens and Pops is betting out and kenny calling all the way down to spike another Q on the river to crack pops' hand...Pops turns Gambit on Kenny and throws his cards at kenny and immediately kicked us all out and the game was done.
Dealt the rest of the week till the Travis' and Noelle's game at the Coral
November 15, 2006 - The Coral - "My New Nemisis"
Went over to my regular Wednesday game and lately I been able to run my stack up to over $500 bucks...I got dealt 9T and the flop came out 678 (2 diamonds) I'm not exactly sure if this is how the betting went, I checked the flop, Katie bets a decent amount, Anne calls, I raised it, Katie thinks, calls, Anne pushes all in, I push all in, Katie goes into the tank and mumbles, i wish I never started this or something and mucks...Anne tells me I have to play dodge ball...she has an OESFD and my nut straight holds up! This time I planned on keeping it my stack, lean over to whisper to Travis, "how long do you think i'll keep this before I run it down to $80 bucks"? He tells me im keeping it this time around...Now for Katie...For some reason, Katie, everytime I bet, or raised, she came over the top of me with a better hand...and yes, she did have a better hand...but it was very, very annoying and I mentioned it...Now, I got dealt pocket 7s and raised it to $10...Gets around to Katie and she re-raises me...cep't this time, the whole table went "ooooohhh" and I decided I was gonna stand up to her raise this time around and call the $30 bucks, Jefferson calls as well...Flop comes out K7x...I check hoping Katie makes a move and she bets out $50 or $60...I raise, Jefferson mucks, Katie moves all in, I insta Call...Of course she hits her set of kings to my under set of 7s...I ship her a little over $400 bucks to leave me with $83 bucks ....43 minutes is how long I held my stack...ended up shipping her the rest of my stack when I flopped an OESD and just shoved it in on tilt and missed....
November 17, 2006 - Pink Game
This was one of the juciest pink game ever....Cynthia destroyed the game as well as Scooter...This time, Scooter kept his stack...Lots of players were stuck, at least 3 racks and was able to get it back, I dropped a good amount as well...Game went till 7:30 AM...I Was gonna catch the early morning bus to AC to meet up with everyone else, but the game went long, I was able to get some good sleep
before my 6:30pm bus up to AC...One hand I remember, I was dealt rolled up 2s and kept rammin' and jammin the pot with also a low drawing brewing as well...by the river, my set of 2s were good, everyone turned they hand over and i was splitting the low with pops....pot was huge, and after a couple minutes, after zach shipped me the first split stack, katie goes, oh wait...i have a straight....what? god damn she did have a straight....that shit sucked it was like handing me a present and taking it away from me...Scooter took a picture of his stack also....was about $1, 350 in a $5-$10 game...
November 18, 2006 - Tropicanna Poker Room
Took the bus to AC...I think its the cheapest way to go...instead of buying gas to gas the car up, tolls and what not, I paid $40 to greyhound it up, lots of room cause the bus don't be packed, and when I get to the trop, You get a bonus of $20 in cash...so it really costs $20 to catch a bus up there, thats less than buying gas alone!!! Anyway, get to the Trop at 9:30pm...Run into Keenan, as he was bout to cash out a rack of redbirds...I Was extra hungry so I went to grab something to eat before sitting down at the tables...
I ran over the table they sat me at and ran my original $200 buy in to a little over $600, Our table broke and I was moved over to another table where I proceded to do the same shit talking and raising and just trying to bully the table...I paid off a boat when we both rivered the card we need...I had the nut flush when he rivered the Jack diamonds to fill him up...Uh oh...Nelly and Keenan yell across the room asking if I Want to play pink $5-$10 2-way game...Holdem/Omaha H-L8...of course I do, i try and talk some of the players at my table too play, but they are all 1 trick ponies like I figured...so I get up after donking $150 of my stack to the table to sit at the 2-way game...I sit for a rack of pinks and run that up to over $500 bucks...walked away with a decent profit after the game broke, decided I didn't want to follow Kennan and Nelly's footsteps to go to bed to play some $1-$2 NL...again, i run my stack to over $450 to end up shipping it to the Bmore dude that I was running over...he plays sooo freakin bad, and I tried to slow play a flopped 2 to his OESD when he gets there on the river...tilted after that, and end up leaving with $104 before travis actually talked me into going to bed with a slight profit from this evening session...
Woke up and went back downstairs to play...Was on the table with Patty (Mel's Wife...the "Phil Ivey Fans you see on the older WSOP shows on ESPN) I know better to play with them...I flopped a pair of 9s with Q9o on a 9 high flop, 2 spades, Patty bet $40 on it and i go into the tank, and decide to call, i know she is protecting her bigger pair from the flush, so if the flush hits, i can make a move...turn was a blank, and she bets out $50, I call, River brought a Qs and she looks disgusted, so I bet $50 and she mucks...I mumbles that I was chasing a flush, so I showed 2 pair still knowing I was beat the whole time...but like I said, i was trying to set it up to make a move when the flush hit if it did, I got lucky to get 2 pairs! I end up paying some all ins off and need to rebuy...Keenan busts out and is ready to go, I say one more orbit before I go and look down to pocket 8s UTG...I raise $10'sion and get 5 callers to flop a set of 8s with a 7 on that board...i check it and its checked all the way around...the ugly 9 came out and I bet out $25 to get min raised and Anna, Noelle's twin sister that is a regular at the trop decides to shove her stack in there, wow...i ship my stack in there as well to get called...both callers had JQ...duh...to hit there gutshot on the turn, and I can't pair the board....Time to go....down from the trip $250 which I said I Would limit my loss anyway...
Went straight to Zach's game in Wheaton to deal...and the game didn't kick off...so we all decided to play some $5-$10 Omaha H/L8...I made a whopping $45 dollars when I had ran my stack to a little over $400 when I missed every draw on the last hand...caught my 2nd nut low, but Shawn had the Nut Low and Ryan had the high to chop my money up...
Next game will hopefully be at Travis' house...Wanted to play at Big Chris house, but they are moving it to Wednesday, but I think I'm going to go over to Travis' place to play some $1-$2 NL if the game is a go!

Its an Uphill Battle to be left broken hearted....
Went over to the Coral Last night. What a ride I took again...How quickly I ran my stack up to a little over $600 with a $200 buy in to double up Vince TWICE with his pocket Qs hold up...I just leaked, leaked, leaked and needed to call a medic to cure this gash...i needed stiches quick...
On the good side of things...I only bled what I had profited..Anne kept sayin, look at it like this, you are still up $17 bucks lol...Which made me look at the game a little different after leaking away my profits.
Jefferson believed I bluffed him out alot of pots we were in which is not true...I really had a good hand, I was runnin pretty good last night...not saying I didn't bluff at pots...needless to say I was runnin pretty good at the beginning of the game...I had to slow down a bit because everyone started lookin me up so I backed off and only played good hands...
So I sat on what was my original buy in when the table started to break down to leave us 6 handed...Ryan asked that I move over to give room but I really didn't want too so I can still be at the end of the table where I like to be...record be known, I was gonna move, but I like to just be like, "Damn dawg...im right here, man we straight" and I'll still move, but he got ahead of himself and fuckin got loud with me...bama said I was ignorant...what the fuck...Hold up dawg...1., you aint gonna come at me like that, raise your voice then call me ignorant, I aint no sucka dawg...you really think ima move now? I let him know that shit...after all that, i was ready to leave, cause that shit really blew me foreal...But I'll stay till the end of the game cause thats just what I do, unless im broke...
So couple minutes later, Ryan doubles me up....I raise $15 with 44, he just smooth calls me...i check the flop as he does behind me...I believed i check the turn, he bet, i raised, he put me all in, i insta call and he ships it..he has Pocket Aces...to my flopped set of 4s.
Litterally, game is about to break...and I get Aces in the straddle, Dave makes it $12 to go, I bump it up to $35, he calls...QTx (2 clubs) hit the board and I bet $50 on the flop..he calls, I think a 4 hits the turn, i push all in for $142 more, he is really thinking, I almost show my aces, but I want the call...I know I have him beat right now...I actually put him on AQc cause he says he has a big draw...He eventually calls and the river peels off a red 9...i knew that card was a fucked up card, i threw my aces up and said fuck man...he shows KJ for the straight...he got there...I ship my stack to his 6 outer and I call it a night...well it was the end of the night anyway as it was 4 handed after I busted...
On the good side of things...I only bled what I had profited..Anne kept sayin, look at it like this, you are still up $17 bucks lol...Which made me look at the game a little different after leaking away my profits.
Jefferson believed I bluffed him out alot of pots we were in which is not true...I really had a good hand, I was runnin pretty good last night...not saying I didn't bluff at pots...needless to say I was runnin pretty good at the beginning of the game...I had to slow down a bit because everyone started lookin me up so I backed off and only played good hands...

So couple minutes later, Ryan doubles me up....I raise $15 with 44, he just smooth calls me...i check the flop as he does behind me...I believed i check the turn, he bet, i raised, he put me all in, i insta call and he ships it..he has Pocket Aces...to my flopped set of 4s.
Litterally, game is about to break...and I get Aces in the straddle, Dave makes it $12 to go, I bump it up to $35, he calls...QTx (2 clubs) hit the board and I bet $50 on the flop..he calls, I think a 4 hits the turn, i push all in for $142 more, he is really thinking, I almost show my aces, but I want the call...I know I have him beat right now...I actually put him on AQc cause he says he has a big draw...He eventually calls and the river peels off a red 9...i knew that card was a fucked up card, i threw my aces up and said fuck man...he shows KJ for the straight...he got there...I ship my stack to his 6 outer and I call it a night...well it was the end of the night anyway as it was 4 handed after I busted...

Ship It! Or Can I pay you later???
Went over to Big Chris spot to play with the fellas and ladies of the crew...packed house as we went longer into the evening, started off slow with 5 of us playing...I'm supposed to leave at 12 no matter where my stack was but when 11pm came rollin in...so did the rest of the game...how can i leave now? Tide rolled in and its time to go Fishing!
Hand I remember cause it tilted Frank and he wanted to keep talkin bout it all night...I raised $7 preflop with QTo in the CO, Ryan Calls, Frank calls the rest of the table folds...
Q64 hits the board...I Bet out $12 and Ryan shoves his stack in there for $35...Frank, after some thought (actually hollywooding) smooth calls the $35...I visit the think tank for a minute and then ask Frank what he has behind his towers...Frank already was running ok at the start and built up a nice stack...$81 behind the $35...I shove $116 in the pot to put frank all in and he insta calls...turn is a K, River 10...Ryan flips KQ Over for the main pot, i flip over my 2 pair, and Frank mucks his 64 and rebuys...Needless to say, he was pretty sick...
I just took advantage of that and bullyed the whole table, raising every hand i got pretty much and follow up bets, never just calling...I made Frank fold some big hands to me which he would've won...I turned over a couple just to tilt him as much as possible...
Another pretty disgusting hand I got into...8d7d was a monster...I raised my straddle to $12 and got Rock to go all in for another $20 some dollars...Rosslyn pushes her stack in that was another $36 more...I got a little over $100...Pot is huge when it comes to me and I told them off the top, I got a big pair buster...No more action so the board comes out KT487 and runner-runner'ed the shit out of Rosslyn's QQ and I have no clue what Rock had...She was heated with me as well...
For some reason....Rock and Rosslyn get into it about the game before...apparently there was a board for Rock and I really wasn't paying attention...but Frank got into it as well and was alot of arguing...Frank decides to cash out...now knowing there was a board for tonight as well...I'm overhearing rock wasn't gonna pay his board that the pot owed him money, with Frank runnin his stack back up to a little over $250 including his board...and my stack was at $360, I decided it was that time to roll out before I aint gettin paid...plus it was already late and I need to get Cheyenne back home for school the next day, even though she was sleep at Chris House...So made a decent profit tonight...but just shows how bad a board can be for a game...had the house kept better track of boards and the money, I stay a little longer, but didn't want to rick not gettin all the money I worked hard for...I am still owed from some game ago...not alot, but still owed is the point..From the conversation and all the arguing, some players were not paid out all the way this past Friday at his game....get out while you can or be owed money later down the road..........

Tick Tock..The Mouse Ran Up Scooters Crotch!
Ahhh The Pink Game...Friday Finally came!!!
We started the night off with a $50 NLHE Freeroll Tourney that got chopped up 4 ways so we can hurry up and start the Pink Game!
During the Freeroll...Scooter started hittin himself on the leg...got up, did a dance..doing the boogy woogy...then ran in the back and took his pants off and out flew a little tiny mouse! We all were laughing and looking at Scooter like he was crazy! It might sound disgusting...but after watching Scooter take down pot after pot, literally never folding a hand..chasing down every draw and catching...we all wanted that mouse in our pants as well!
Ricky Bobby had a ROUGH night...gettin hit with Quads Twice...I can't play till an open seat is available since I host the game, so I sat behind Ricky Bobby and pocket cam'ed his cards...i saw him turn aces full of 3s holding on to a pair of aces in Omaha H/L8 to get crushed by quad 3s on the river...
Scooter stayed the whole night...and we all just grinded tryin to stack Scooter for those chips...But its Scooter...and he ended up shipping those stacks to everyone by the end of the night...well early into the morning! Alot of players cashed in to bust out so in the morning, the majority of the chips were still flying around..which meant a good night for the remaining players...
Gypsy Pete is a beast...he sat down with a rack and ran it up over two racks Quick...thats just how Gypsy Pete Goes..Last time he played, not even an hour he say down with 300 to run it over 1K....but back to Friday...After runnin his stack up..next thing you know, he's down to six chips, and it's a Killed Stud H/L hand. He gets it all-in on third street, and Richard is in the kill, calls the three more chips...after 3rd Streen, Travis deals all the cards face down to make it a little more exciting and they turn them up 1 at a time...Richard shows a pair of 10s with 4 cards to the low, Gypsy hits 2 pair...7s and 4s with no low to scooooop a dooooop! I don't know what the hell happened...but after about 20 minutes, he did his Gypsy Magic and ended up with over $200 in his stack again!
I love me the pink game...I didn't do too bad either...I got in the game for $200, added on another $100 and was able to hit Scooter with a huge Omaha H/L pot when I had A679 and ended up filling up on the turn 6s full of 7s and was able to pull a low on the river to scoooop a dooooop the pot! I ended the night with exactly 2 racks to give me a $200 profit!
Those that haven't played the pink game is surely missing out...one of the greatest home games in our area!!!!!!!!!

Weee..Rollercoasters Are Fun!!
Went over to the Donkey Coral tonight to play some $1-$2 NL. I was looking forward to playing tonight since it would be the first time in a while I'm playing a "free man" I decided that I was gonna play tonight a little more aggressive than normal...since everyone says I sit on my orignal buy in the whole night meaning I sit and play tight...I also play very passive...Tonight wasn't gonna be that kind of night...I was gonna play more aggressive, see more flops...raise alot of pots and see how it works out...and that mixture of plays makes for a hell of a roller coaster ride...
I got in the game for $200 at first and worked up my stack to a little over $350...oh yeah, i shipped...shipped it right to Bessman's Stack...It was a SICK hand too...wow it was sick...I'm in the Cut Off with Pocket 10s...and its a straddled pot that was limped around to me...5 callers till it got to me and i stuck $15 on top of that and made it $19 to go...4 callers to see the flop...ATA comes out...Nice :) , checks to me, i bet out somethin like $50 and folds to Bessman who re-raises me to i have no clue cause soon as he said raise, and stuck chips out there, i just pushed all in..took him a while to call but when he finally called i turned over my TT for 10s full of Aces...of course he has an ace...A7 to be exact...and long and behold...that magical 7 falls on the turn...Blah...$600+ pot down the drain...Oh i was HEATED!!!
Rebought for another $200 and ran that back up to a little over $500...and that itself was a roller coaster ride, with that running down to less than $120...back up to over $400...then back down....WEEEE its really fun!!!
I talked my way out of a chopped pot when I raised $12 with 8h9h preflop to get 3 callers...Flop comes out TJ4 with two clubs out there....I'm OE with no flush draw and its checked around to me and I bet the flop for $20 bucks or so...JackJr. called and the Qc hits the turn...I bet out $60 on the turn and he goes into the tank...he shows me 89o for the straight...and i just sit there...he asked me what I have behind my 60 bucks bet and i just shoved my chips in there...i tell him if he just smooth calls, you might as well put me all in cause im stickin my stack out there on the river regardless what comes out...I also mention he called me with that bullshit when I raised that pot...he finally mucks his cards and I turn over the same hand...I think that tilted him the rest of the night cause it wasn't long till he ended up shipping the rest of his stack...I Talked my way out of choppin a pot though...WHEW!
Last hand of the evening, Me and Katie are mixed up in a hand...I End up flopping 2 to the club flushy...she bets out and i just call...hit my flushy on the turn...5 high flushy...she bets out 40, I min raise it to 80, she then procedes to raise well tried to raise 100 on top, but she put out 8 blues thinking that was 40 when it was 80 then went back for chips to stick 100 out there...OOPS...String Raise...its only 40 to call, i call it and check the river down and she shows me KQclubs which makes me stuck $45 for the night...considering how all my hands played out, I'm pretty content on being stuck $45...it could've been alot worse than that...
Dealing the College Park game Thursday, then the Pink Game is on and poppin on Friday!

Watch Out Now...E is Back!!
I'm back again! Got the monkey off my back, everyone is squared away...and now its on and poppin...this was definately a lesson to be learned....and it aint happening again...Only close friends know what im talkin bout, but for the rest of you, just know its on again!!!
Time to re-build some sort of bankroll..and begin to have better management of it...and of course my priorities....that being known....I had a pretty good weekend!
Friday Night was the pink game...Sad to Say, Launtz, a very good regular at my old $1-$2 NL games and especially the pink game is being shipped to Iraq for a good year...You'll be in our prayers and hope for a safe return! He has a kid to come back to and so we all hope for a safe return! This past Friday was his last...and he is leaving finally knowing what it really feels like to be a poker player...have a losing session...sucks to go like that...but it happens...Had a new face..his name was Mike and just like any first timer to the pink game...he made out really nice....I myself did ok as well...got my stack to 2 racks :) Pops didn't make it, but he did end up sneaking off to AC...He text me around 2 am and said..."One time for Pops! Pops takes down the Taj 80+20 for $2600...he swore he would never get upset at the suck outs cause he apparently sucked out like a champ to coast his way to the final table!
Sunday went over to the fish tank for a $200+$20 NL Tournament...30 players with first place paying out $3000 bucks...nice hit...if i had hit it...Unfortunately, i made it to 12th place...i did pretty well at start of tourney, made it to first break with above chip average...then i doubled up Jeff...apparently, i was talkin too much..I Limp in with 99 and the board comes out KTT...2 hearts...i bet, he just calls...4s hits the turn, i ask how much you have left, and push my stack in the middle, i have him way covered, as he only has a little over 1700 left...i tell him to fold...save the rest of his money...so he calls with Ah3h with a flushdraw and an over card...K hits the river to give him 2 pair Ace high and I get counterfeited...Gay....another player busts out the other table and its time to condense to 2 tables...I went outside and say jeff is gay and that i was gonna push any 2 cards when we come back to the game....break is over after condensing to 2 tables...oooh 7h8h.."all in" guy is pondering to call with what he says was pocket 5s...redpit insta calls me with TJd and he doubles me up when i flopped da nutz with a heart redraw lol...i win a couple small pots here and there and im back in the race...double up through mikey again and now im doing alright again...cept i went card dead for the next 2 levels with only 6 players on each table and im gettin blinded down somethin massively...i call a raise with AQo and missed and dude pushes on me so i have to fold...now im down to a little under 8K in chips and some guy who took 5th place raised...guy who is acting over aggressive goes all in so i decide ima push and i feel like i can win this race...first guy folds and me and dude are heads up...88 vs. AQ...i tag my A on the flop and felt goooood.....turn....8....blah...i walk away and im done in 12th place...
it was a great tourney, and i would definately love to play in another one again...
Congrats to Paul and Nelly for chopping 1st and 2nd for a 2400/2000 split

Same Ole, Same Ole
Well, nothing really big has been happening since last Friday, Saturday ended up just chillin, not too much of anything, Sunday ended up dealing Zach's Wheaton Game that broke kinda early...it was the first Sunday they hosted, the Wheaton Poker Room is changing there schedule up. Went back over there Tuesday Night to deal/play...was a decent turn out, but again, the night slowed down early and broke a little after 3am.
Wednesday went over to the Coral and did pretty well at first...then it just went downhill after I busted Bessman, and 3 others after...wasn't even close to midnight when we were down to 7 players...Stuck $90 in the game and being that the game was bout to break, i just got up...
Thursday night, I'm dealing the College Park game...stopped by there after leaving the coral and they just got a new table in and is it pretty!!!! I can't wait to deal it tonight!!!
Friday looking forward to the pink game which is already full at start when I put out the listing for the game early!
Saturday supposed to be heading over to Pops game to play some $3-$6 Dealers choice...friends/family game that he won't be raking!
Sunday going over to the fish tank to play a $200+$20 NL Holdem Tourney, Structure looks really good, being that I'm the one that came up with the structure...nice and slow with a good starting stack..should leave alot of room to play some poker instead of a daily crap shoot like these daily tournies home games...so far its a nice turn out with close to 3 tables that is anticipated to be filled by Sunday!

Pink Game!!!
Well My Pink Game went off Friday Night! Had a full table with a 2 person wait list...so the game went pretty strong! Started the night off with a $50 Freeroll Tourney...The game was NL Omaha High...for a freeroll and 6 minute blinds, the freeroll lasted pretty long...a little under 35 minutes long...
Finally got the game rollin and I'm itchin to play...I usually sit down after there is no wait list..and finally got to sit around 2AM...Unlike last week, I Decided to play tight and right...play ABC Poker, well as much as I Know how to play at the very least...Heh, I didn't ship my stack like I did last week and threw a party...but I do know I got very very lucky on pops to chop a Stud H/L pot from him after rivering the shit out of him to chop the pot...and it was a healthy pot..and pops being pops...he was still pissed he won a pot...more angry that he didn't scoop like he was supposed too...the only person I know to be angry when he wins a pot...
Anyway...I get JKJ and I usually don't play split Jacks, but after alot of talk how Pops loves him some Jacks...I went ahead and played it..Me, Pops and Katie are tangled in the pot and the both of them are showing low cards, I assume my Jacks are good and raise on 4th street, pops re-raises and katie just calls...3 bets on 4th street when a K Falls for me on5th, it actually gets capped 3 ways and I put both of them drawing to a low hand so I wasn't going anywhere with all low cards showing on both there boards, not to mention the K just made me more comfortable with my hand...6th street comes out and doesn't help me, but it gets checked all around...I tell pops that I'm going to raise blind on the river if he bets out...he bets out and katie raises...i swear im thinkin my 2 pair is golden...i have to look at my river card now cause katie raised it...flip it up..."Raise" I say...pops is sick cause he is supposed to scoop the pot...katie gets out quick and he shows a wheel...oooops i rivered a K to fill up, kings full of Jacks...heh, pops supposed to scoop that pot lol me so lucky!!!
It aint the pink game unless we change it up AGAIN...so we decided to play the rest of the night changing holdem to crazy pineapple...oooohh did that stir up some action!!! Tons more action than just playing holdem!
I'm actually considering changing the Pink HOE game to C-POE now and adding a kill to stud h/l...we'll see, im going to poll the regulars and see what they think..
Here is a pretty decent pot from last night...i swear, i love me some pink game!!!
Finally got the game rollin and I'm itchin to play...I usually sit down after there is no wait list..and finally got to sit around 2AM...Unlike last week, I Decided to play tight and right...play ABC Poker, well as much as I Know how to play at the very least...Heh, I didn't ship my stack like I did last week and threw a party...but I do know I got very very lucky on pops to chop a Stud H/L pot from him after rivering the shit out of him to chop the pot...and it was a healthy pot..and pops being pops...he was still pissed he won a pot...more angry that he didn't scoop like he was supposed too...the only person I know to be angry when he wins a pot...
Anyway...I get JKJ and I usually don't play split Jacks, but after alot of talk how Pops loves him some Jacks...I went ahead and played it..Me, Pops and Katie are tangled in the pot and the both of them are showing low cards, I assume my Jacks are good and raise on 4th street, pops re-raises and katie just calls...3 bets on 4th street when a K Falls for me on5th, it actually gets capped 3 ways and I put both of them drawing to a low hand so I wasn't going anywhere with all low cards showing on both there boards, not to mention the K just made me more comfortable with my hand...6th street comes out and doesn't help me, but it gets checked all around...I tell pops that I'm going to raise blind on the river if he bets out...he bets out and katie raises...i swear im thinkin my 2 pair is golden...i have to look at my river card now cause katie raised it...flip it up..."Raise" I say...pops is sick cause he is supposed to scoop the pot...katie gets out quick and he shows a wheel...oooops i rivered a K to fill up, kings full of Jacks...heh, pops supposed to scoop that pot lol me so lucky!!!
It aint the pink game unless we change it up AGAIN...so we decided to play the rest of the night changing holdem to crazy pineapple...oooohh did that stir up some action!!! Tons more action than just playing holdem!

The Donkey Coral
Went over to the Donkey Coral to deal the 2nd half of the game cause Nelly goes to bed at 1AM now...
I got there around 10:30PM thinking I was just gonna deal and when I walked in the door...Travis shows me a shiny open seat....Didn't take that much convincing for me to sit down and play...Give me $150 man...
Sat down and played tight, Decided that I wasn't gonna play like an ass and play hands that would get me in trouble...not tryin to get too fancy with it...Had a good time playing...Nishant came out and Sun as well...New guy Travis picked up at the Trop, Mac...Tight Andrew already busted...Bartender Pete was in the house, as well as Matt.
Not too many hands stand out to me...just remember busting Matt and doubling up through Sun...Picked up a couple small pots, but mostly folded the whole night...
Cashed out the game for $229 when I peaked at close to $300...I owed Travis $75 bucks, so made just enough to pay him, wipe my name off his board and cashed out a cooooool whole $4 bucks!!! Thats a win in my book!!! :)

The College Park Game
Invited Nick over to the game, well he was looking for a game to play, so I told him to come on down since I was dealing...he did pretty well and cashed for a little over $600...made up for the loss he took at the Pink Game...
I dealt pretty much the whole Night and Senyoung was very generous after being stuck $800 to making over 3 racks of redbirds! Dealt the whole time pretty much, game broke around 5AM and I'm dead beat tired...Had a hard time taking a nap...finally got a little bit of sleep, I hope im ok to deal tonight at Zach's place...

Saturday at the S.H.O.P.
Went over and was late...had errands to run, didn't make things any better that I woke up a little late...finally got there after pickin up Trav and Nelly...Game was ok...we missed the freeroll and I ended up shipping $450 into the game...This game is stupid...not the S.H.O.P...but poker in general...Left early cause I gotta deal Bills/Ankur's game Sunday after the Skins Game....
Pink Friday
Pink Game went real strong this weekend! Welcome to our world Nick! Found out it was Nick's first time playing Omaha H/L and Stud H/L but he is a more of a NL player...He told me it was a very expensive lesson to learn those 2 games, but over all had a blast at the game! Steve finally made it out to the Pink game and said its a stupid game...NL Players can't stand Limit Anything...Its a different game with a different strategy...Just happy he finally came out and played and got a taste of it. Eddie cashed out very close to a dime while Travis Donked off chips when he went on tilt...Alot of the regulars came on by and Rocco brought his friend over who was drunk and just wanted to give money away...It was strong and game broke 8:30AM Saturday Morning...Whew..Gotta get up and head over to the S.H.O.P....

The Donkey Coral
Went over to Trav and Nelly's game last night. They had me on auto lock but I said at the beginning of the week, why my name is on there, I do this all the time, but for some reason Travis believed it this week and took me off...Probably because he seen that his game filled up all the way with a wait list and didn't need me to play, but its all good...
Got there early with Ricky B0bby tryin to force myself a seat...worked out cause folks were late or a no show so i got to sit midway through the freeroll and start of game, I think we chopped it 3 ways maybe? who cares...got a free $20 bucks to sit early and donk off chips for fun...
$1-$2 NL started with a 5 person wait list...oh this game is goin all night and its tons of money to be made..cept i didn't make any of it...
KQ4 on the flop and i bet $17 on the flop, me and pops are heads up and he just calls...turn brought some random stupid card and i made it $35 to go..he thinks, thinks....i call...Ace comes out on the river, and pretty much knowin i aint no good nomore, i still bet out $45 to be called down with AQ...1st suck out of the night for Pops...he thought i had Jacks, I told him i had KQ but i really had 7d4d...bluffy no worky.....good call pops!!! :)
I Get in a hand with Nevin holding my hand AT when the flop comes out KT3....i check,he bets, i just push, he calls, he had AK..."Everyone thinks Nevin is always bluffin...Caught me like shit...."Rebuy"
Get Kings and made it $15 to go angrily hoping to get some calls....got 4 of em...ooops...flop 666, i bet out $50, everyone folds, Pops shows an Ace, and I take it down...
lose lots of small pots when i get mixed up with Pops again...i make it $7 to go with ATc...I showed ricky bobby and said, these will stand up this time around...since they had lost 5 times through out the night already...Flop came out T high...Pops makes it $35 i believe, i push my stack in and say seat open....
he flips over Kings, and im praying an A or T comes out...nope, im done....
Game is stupid....next time my name gets slipped off the list, it was slipped off for a reason...and I aint comin....See you all there next wednesday....**sigh**

Sunday Games
Went over to Encore's game to deal...Game was decent with a slow start...started pickin up and it was on and poppin...
After leaving there, went over to Big Chris game around 12am...Seemed like nobody really took any money off the table...so i sit down and proceeded to be hit with the deck...raising bullshit, gettin all of them off there hands, and they callin me when i really did have a good hand...Ended up trippling up with the majority of the money on the table and the game broke around 4AM...Went home and went to bed...Nothing really stands out cept me raising T6o and hittin trip 6s on the flop A66...Frank was the only one that called, I kept raising his bets thinkin he had the Ace but in fact he had a 6 also..a 6 with an 8 and yes...we ended up getting all our money in the middle and i stacked him when my T plays...Rossly proceeds to have a case of non-believerism and continues to pay me off...For some reason, she always roots for me to lose my stack...wonder why...she shipped a big pot after she asked if i had a Jack which was top pair, and she kept cold callin me...showdown came and she shipped it...
Frank decides to raise a hand dark, so i min that raise dark as well, and to our suprise, Tall Jizzle pushes all in...Ross is contemplating hard as shit to make a call or Raise all in...I tell Frank and Ross, if you guys just cold call, i will raise in the dark...alot...so Ross is now forced to push or fold..he decides to fold KQo and I warn Frank not to just cold call...he then proceeds to fold...i call Jizzle's all in for another maybe $40 some dollars in the dark...He shows AJ and i turn over my cards one by one...9...ooh a pair....4...ooop 2 pair! Ship it! and when he shipped it, he threw it! lol Derrick couldn't do anything the whole night, everytime he pushed, i just call his all in and win every one...he had enough and said fuck it, and quit...Game breaks...
Monday is a day of rest, went to the basketball court with Cheyenne and her friends, played with all of them and now im ready to deal Jeff's game Tuesday Night!

Mental Stress...
After playing at Pops place earlier today...I must say, this game is stupid and brutal to the mind...I mean...The game is fun...in a way...I love playing...but to be stuck so early in the game sucks...River Ed showed his face today, and I love playing with River Ed...He is so good for the game, and he loves to gamboooool. Crazy Gypsy, River Ed, Travis, Keenan, and Georgia Ave made for an interesting start for the game...I ended up shipping my stack on the side pot when I ended up calling River Ed's all in with Queen High...Crazy Gypsy scooped the main pot with a pair of Tens...How do I miss my draw? I flopped a flush draw, turned an open ended straight draw with my flush and the board pairs on the river...all my chips are in the middle on the turn...Keenan is ready to roll to go out tonight with some friends, and I decide im leaving with him...I sit for a minute and watch and Noelle lent me $100 to play, I got $50 for dealing the tournament so I got back in the game for another $150...Came time for Keenan to roll so I try to cash out and was informed that Pops would take all us home, so i ended up staying...good thing too!
As my towers started to build, I'm a little more confident playing now...End up runnin my stack to a little over $600 when Devo decides he is leaving at 11:30 to go home..heh, i gotta deal at Ankur's game anyway, so I roll out with him...With River Ed puttin max pressure on you, I just didn't feel like dealing with all that stress especially after flopping trip 3s and just cold calling River Ed till the river when he decides to put all his chips in the middle...he has me covered, and I think for a while and end up mucking my hand...I played it so bad, got on a little tilt and got in a hand with Devo...of course River Ed raises to $15 to see the flop, and i look down to Q9 in the cut off with 5 callers...Flop comes out Q98 and devo bets out $60, I think for a minute and just cold call and River ed and everyone else folds...turn came out a 4 maybe? whatever it was, wasn't very threatening...Devo fires out $80...i think for a second to get my balls together and raise him to $160 to see where he is at...he folds fairly quickly...I wasn't sure if he was playing the beast or not...so I had to see where he was at...When we left, he asked what I was re-raising him with and I told him top 2..I asked if he had AQ and he told me he did have a Queen with a shitty kicker, but he told me he only did that to get River Ed in on the hand...after I cold call, Ed folds and it didn't work out the way Devo wanted it too...
I end up leaving after squaring up with Noelle and River Ed with a small profit...
Off to Ankur's game Sunday Afternoon to deal it...hopefully I can make some decent change up in there and then next game after that will be at Jeff's game out Laurel...so I got a couple days with some decent work to hopefully be able to make some change to get this morgtage out the way and square up with Ricky and Steve and I can feel a whole lot better with out any debts behind my back!!!!!

Pink Fridays!
Yeah!!! Pink Friday is here!!! Man I tell you...I love playing this game!!! If you don't already know, we play $5-$10 Pink ($2.50 chips) H.O.E. rotation game...Thats Holdem', Omaha H/L, and Stud H/L. This game is awesome!
Night started a little slow and I was hesitant about having the game because I didn't think it would fill up...It ended up filling up and ended up being a good game...tons of action...I can't recall any major big hands...
I did try to bluff Travis out of a hand with 67s with an Ace high board with 2 flushys...Travis had the Flush draw and tagged a 10 on the river, But he told me there was no way he was folding...I think different if there wasn't to flushys on the flop...Other than that, I tried to play correctly the whole night...I have no choice when I'm in the game on the board at my own game and it doesn't help its more expensive to play like a donkey!
At one point Big Jay ends up busting out the game, normally I don't mind puttin my buddies on the board, but Tonight is just different...Game wasn't lookin like it would go till early morning, so I just couldn't board him because I had to make sure everyone is able to be paid out...so Travis offers him to borrow a meatball to continue playing...our thoughts was he didn't want to stop playing cause its a fun game to play and he wanted to continue playing the rest of the night...Travis made a comment, now that he leant him that meatball, he would be scooped by Big Jay...Low and behold...Big Jay begins to run the table over and not only does he make his original buy in back, but is now in the positive side...not a small profit either and not even 30 minutes after he borrowed the money, decides he wants to cash out...WTF...Some words were exchanged, but we felt it wasn't right that he did that...for one, he stacked Travis with the money he leant him, then he wanted to take a ton of money off the table after ridin the heater...we wasn't havin that...He felt like we were tryin to make him feel guilty of that, but I honestly believe he should've stayed, now he could've cashed out and said fuck you guys, but he did the right thing...he still walked away with profit, and I must say, he stayed till the game broke, which was not too much later after all that fiasco...
Almost went to Ankur's game in College Park to play $1/$2 NL, but felt it was already too late and I was headed over Pops game to play some $1-$2 NL Saturday Afternoon...

Slackin...Cause im losin....
OK, Its not exciting to type about nothin but losses...Its actually a blower to even re-live and re-tell the bad plays, bad beats, and just being stuck like shit in the games we play...That is why I haven't really been updating my blog...
After leaving Travis' game last week after breaking dead even, I went over to Steve's game to deal the tourney and $1-$3 NL Cash game...Tried to make a couple extra dollars to pay off some bills and square up a couple of debts...
My Friday night game was cancelled due to the fact the USPC was playing out at the Taj Mahal this weekend, so alot of the players from around here all went up to AC...
Saturday, went over to Zach's game to deal it, but his game never kicked off so went over Encore's game with Rocco to play and broke dead even...again....
Sunday night, Encore and Bill asked me if I wanted to deal their Sunday game, SURE!!! But Ricky Bobby wanted to go to Atlantic City Sunday, I didn't have any money to go up, so I asked him to wait a while, play at Encore's game, and I'll end my shift at 11PM and head straight to Atlantic City for a couple days...
Arrived at the Trop late and Ricky Bobby wants to just walk around for a while and then rest till the Sunday event...We end up heading towards the Hilton to see what their poker rooms looks like and maybe sit down, we wasn't feelin it so we headed downstairs cause RB wants to play some Black Jack...I ended up shootin a lil dice for a while and decide it was enough punishment and go back to the trop...at this time, I want to play, so I end up sittin at the $1-$2NL table and proceeded to break even from earlier till I ship it by the guy gettin ran over by the deck...Head to the room and go to bed...
Woke up late for the tourney, so we end up hittin the Hilton toplay the daily...Make 18th place out of 36 players. I played bad...which is the story of my life...Head over to Showboat to play some $1-$2 and end up playing the evening daily up there, got sucked out on to put me out the tourney...Played really bad and went broke and just went to bed...in the truck till Ricky was ready to go home...
Dealt Jeff's game which was a great turn out...made some change...
Went over to Travis' game tonight, ran the table over playing different which no body understood where that came from till I ran into Ricky Bobby when he flopped da joint...wheel when i hit 2 pair...AK vs. A3 vs. 45...Flop came A23r, Sun bet out 20, Rick called, I put 80 on top of that, Sun called, Rick went all in, then I Followed with an allin also..couldn't fill up...I shipped it...but i had Ricky covered cause I had just stacked him with AK vs. his 22 when the board paird JJ88 and my Ace played!
Anne Stacked Ricky and he was ready to go, so I rolled out before I got in trouble losing all my money and just went home early so I can write this out and play my free money Party Poker sent me!
Dealing Steve's $2-$5 NL game tomorrow night, and then hopefully my Friday game kicks off this week...

Went over to Travis' game tonight, ran the table over playing different which no body understood where that came from till I ran into Ricky Bobby when he flopped da joint...wheel when i hit 2 pair...AK vs. A3 vs. 45...Flop came A23r, Sun bet out 20, Rick called, I put 80 on top of that, Sun called, Rick went all in, then I Followed with an allin also..couldn't fill up...I shipped it...but i had Ricky covered cause I had just stacked him with AK vs. his 22 when the board paird JJ88 and my Ace played!
Anne Stacked Ricky and he was ready to go, so I rolled out before I got in trouble losing all my money and just went home early so I can write this out and play my free money Party Poker sent me!
Dealing Steve's $2-$5 NL game tomorrow night, and then hopefully my Friday game kicks off this week...

The Donkey Coral
Went over to Travis' and Nelly's game last night. Was a nice night, everyone that usually comes out was there...played till the wee hours and finished the night off with a 6 handed Sit N Go...H.O.R.S.E cep't the Holdem was double flop holdem. Ended the night even in the cash game and stuck the 20 in the Sit N Go...i raised and capped every hand just to do it and to bust out in 5th. Went to the corner and fell sleep till they was done...Ricky Bobby wasn't a very good driver comin home either...road rage and added to the excitement, almost sideswiped some bama on my side when dude in front of us suddenly decided to turn...tons of fun!

I work hard for the money!
I tell ya...I Worked hard for this big $2.50!!!
Sittin around bored, jumped in a Pot Limit Holdem tourney on JetSetPoker. I usually play a freeroll or some micro-limit game on here to just have another table going when I play...I was playing $.50/$1 H.O.S.E on Stars so in order not to get bored and play too many hands, i jumped in the freeroll...1025 players...I tell ya if I aint work so hard to make that $2.50...I feel sorry for the one that bubbles after 3 hours of mind numbing play to not even make the .25

Sunday Night Game
Went over to my Cousin's D's house to watch the Skins Vs. Dallas Game and play a little $1-$1 NL.
Ran my stack to a little over $200 after Kenny stops by bringing one of his boys to play...Wow was he the epitime of dead money!
D's busted and was dealing and from a lesson I Learned in AC, I had to teach Dennis the same lesson...dude would muck his cards and Dennis would give it back to him...someone would show the winning hand and he would just throw his cards face down and Dennis would be like, turn them over just to see if you would win cause cards speak...j
I made the mistake also...tryin to be a nice guy to avoid bad karma...i was in the hand with dude and had AhKd and dude always raises, so I re-raise the guy to $12 to see the flop, everyone folds and we are heads up...
Flop came out KhQh7h
he bets out 10and i raise him alot again...naturally he calls...
Turn came out 4h...Boom, nut flush...he bets out 15 and I give a confused look Frank and he knows im bout to stack dude...i raise him to 45 and he smooth calls me...
River is a Qs...he bets out $15 and I just call cause the board paired...glad I didn't raise him...I show the nut flush and he shows pocket 4s...D is about to ship the pot, dude looks a little upsset and my dumb self said, no he has a boat...he jumps out his seat and begins to talk shit to kenny, "I told you i was gonna get my money back...I know how these guys play" fuckin fish and i deserve to be shot in the head for being the "nice guy to avoid bad karma"
Anyway, we end up gettin his chips back and I walked away with a decent profit and he walks away with false sense of playin well.

Where did you go E?
Been a while since I've posted...just been real busy with my daughter starting school and a whole lot of dealing to get my money right...
I haven't really had time to get on here between all the games that I have been dealing...
The past 3 weeks I cant remember any games that stuck out my head. But I dealt my first 2-5NL game this past Thursday and it was the sickest game I ever dealt...Lets just say with the pots that i was pushin to the winners were very healthy, and so were those tips! I look forward to this game every Thursday!
Anyway, I'll be back on my job when I jump back on the other side of the box with more stories and recaps to tell!
