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...

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!

Dealing Steve's Tourney and Cash Game tonight. $1-$3 NL is the game for tonight.

Also came up with a new game...Pink H.O.M.B.R.E. game!

Holdem'
Omaha H/L8
Multi-Flop Holdem (Double flop)
Badugi
Razz
Eight of better Stud H/L

Sound like 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!

Sigh Of Relief

Whoa...I know I said I wasn't going over to Big Chris house, but I just can't help myself...It was gonna be a good game tonight with everyone showing up cause of the Holiday on Monday...All I can say is that I started the night of real bad...Sat down to KK to get cracked...I mucked it when the flop hit an Ace and I told myself...The continuation begins from Pops House...James shows me AK on that hand...I can't remember what hand it was, I think it was to Frank and I ship a nice size chunk of my stack to him...I end up down to my last $25 and add on another $60 bucks...lose a small pot, grab another $20 to add on and still down hill...By The Way, We play $1-$1 NL over here at Big Chris House...I get down to my last $18 bucks in the BB in a pot that every limped to Dennis in the Cut Off who raises it to $7 and I believe James called so I push with the Beast and leave the room...I come back to my stack getting trippled up when I flop T high on a 4 card flushy board...NOBODY HAD A CLUB...Ship it...This game is easy...so easy, I didn't have to be in the room to win!

Dennis raised to $10 and I look down to AK, I push and he ends up folding, Pick up some small pots here and there Next thing I know I'm back up to over $200...later in the night/morning...We bust everyone left and right, and the remaining players are James, Dennis, Frank and myself...and I just got ran over by the deck...makin some good reads too...raising bottom pairs, mid pairs knowing they are good and ending up getting called to rake in the pot...Frank was in disgust and just couldn't understand why I keep calling or raising his bets...I picked up on somethin for the first time about him and fuckin munipulated his ass every time...He said, I don't know why when I have a real hand you dont call, but when you have that bullshit and I fire at you, you call and win...Heh...Same went for James, he talked a little too much when he didn't want me to call...so he ends up shipping it when I do call...He did bluff me out of a set of 8s on a flushy flop all hearts...My mistake was knowing I was good..Putting him on 1 heart...Everytime he fired at the pot on the flop and turn, I called tellin him I don't believe him and not raising...1 more heart falls on the river and he reaches for chips and I auto muck face up showing my flopped set...he shows me AK of non hearts...he paired his Ace...I'm sick...After that...it was all over...We ended up getting his stack and I chipped Dennis down a good pot when he was trying to leave...he decides to cash out after that big pot from him...I cashed out $525 minus the $80 in cash I didn't give chris when I reloaded so I walk out with $480 almost breaking me even from the night before...With this cash out, I made a big majority of the money I dropped at Pops place Saturday Night leaving me $70 shy of breaking even from last night...My world feels a little better now...Now its time to get some sleep...some real good sleep...Hopefully my Game will kick off later on today...If not...Might head up to AC...who knows...

Crash Course at the SHOP

Went over to Pops place to play Saturday afternoon. He had a $100 Tourney and then it was on to some $1-$2 NL Action...Got there a little late...but in time to grab a seat to fill the table up. Sat down to QQ and got them cracked by Andrew who went all in with 22 and caught the case 2 on the flop. Jeff B threw the other 2 away. That was fun...at that point, I already know what kind of night it was gonna be and I wasn't wrong. Had TT against Neal who chased down a runner-runner flushy and gave him a pretty good chunk of my stack...I tried to do the whole "Check-Call Poker is the Wave of the future" but that didn't work, my mistake and deserved to lose that hand...reload to my stack. Up and down, Up and Down from there till I shipped 1/2 my stack to Jeff B.

KQo to a $7 raise and im in late position with I think 5 callers...Can't remember the board but I believe it was Ks5cXh. I bet like a pussy of $25 bucks instead of my usual E bet on the flop and Jeff Called pairing the 5...I think he had a bottom pair, backdoor straight and backdoor flush draw...anyway, bet $40 on the turn when it brings a maybe 9C, then river bet $60 when the Qc hit the board and he raises me $80 on top...Deep down I knew I was beat but had a case of non-believerism...I think for a long while...end up mucking....2 new guys can't believe the fold I think it was a good fold, but a hard fold...I had to think of who I was playing with and the possibilities of him backin into his flush...he didn't show but told me he had 2 clubs, not specifically tellin me what clubs...time to reload again...

After mucking my life away..I finally look down to AA an raise a straddle to $23 to roll...I get 2 callers including the new fish that said if I got into a pot he was folding LOL...He asks me if he called would I push all in, I told them if an Ace rolls off on the flop I wasn't, but if no ace on flop, im shoving it...No ace on the flop...2 diamonds...both check to me...i push for another $86 bucks...dude insta calls...other guy folds...He flips over Q9d and I ask Noelle to keep it clean. turn 9, River 9...at least it was no diamonds right? Blah...

I move seats and some new players show...I get involved in a hand with Tim who raised it to $7 to go...I'm to his left and re-raise it to $35 to roll...folds around to Tim who just calls...Flop comes out Q73r I bet out $50 and he calls. Turn brings some I think a 4 and I bet out $60, Tim moves all in and im thinkin, wow...He his a set of Qs...I'm thinking and he says you can pick a card and turn it over, I insta muck...he shows his set of Qs...De Ja Vu "I raise $1000" Whoa...I think me and Nelly should be even gettin Aces cracked now...

Thats the end of it...Ruff Ruff weekend...I hope I can get my $1-$2 NL Game off the ground Monday.......Should be some interesting stories cause got some new players locked or a seat already....

Bet Dark, Call Dark, "F" it, lets play in the Dark!

Friday Night was the Pink Game. Turn out was good, had a full, strong table pretty much the whole night...2 hours into the game, Lights Out! What...Where are the candles, the flash lights...Lights went out because of the storm...Hurricane Ernesto remnants hit our area and was responsible for losing our electricity. That didn't stop us from playing...What? We are playing poker...pull out your cell phones to see your cards...2 candles on each side of the table...and a head-mounted flash light on top of Noelle's head to spotlight the flop. after about an hour or so...the electricity came back on came for 1 minute and teased us...we blew the candles out and the electricity got cut...another 2-3 hours past, still playing and the lights came back on and it was on and poppin from there! Lots of bad bad beats...Sun was ran over by the deck and not everyone left happy...Did someone say it felt like torture? Sure felt like it.

Maybe some of us will leave some stories in the comment section to show why this game was brutal. Being Stuck a Hoagie is a bitch!
