Some Short Shit
Down to my last $2.30 on Absolute Poker, so only thing I could play was a $2 tournament...
400 players...hit for 4th place, fucked up trippling up folding TT to 2 all ins...Maybe I'm supposed to call and race at this point short stacked? I play real good :(
Anyway, a cool $50..some short shit...but the glory of final tabling isn't bad :)

You Wanna Slow Roll Me Huh?
Its been a while since Big Chris had a game at his house, he is either working late, working early, or both...His work hours can get brutal..but last night he was able to have a game and I went over there to play...
I called Kenny to go, he always tells me he doesn't want me to call him to go to the other local $1-$2 NL Games cause he seems to play bad and ship it ALL THE TIME...But I know he loves to go over to Big Chris house...and when I called him, he nearly came in his pants tellin me to pick him up...Just remember how excited he was to go over to Chris house last night!
Anyway, Game was as normal, ran my stack up a little bit early, and not playing like a donkey, just playing good till Kenny started talkin alot of shit to everyone...I felt I was gonna be the hero and burst his bubble...
One hand where he became chip leader, I handed him over my stack on a silver platter...He raises to $11 and gets a couple callers...I act like I'm going to re-raise him and he begins to talk his talk...so I smooth call with AhTd..its 3 people going into the flop with me to act last...10 high flop, checked around to me and I reach for chips...he says, if you bet, im going to push, If you check im going to push...so I bet out $25 bucks and he instantly mushes his stack in there, folds around to me, and he quickly turns over KK like he scared...I call just so I can see you throw up when I tag my Ace or Ten...His Kings end up holding up...not more than 15 minutes later, his $200+ stack is back down to $35 bucks, with me getting my money back plus some and I begin to laugh and talk shit to him and he sat there quietly...He ends up Rebuying...
For some reason, when Rosslyn would bet, I have hands to raise her...I have to give it to her, she changed her game and I was impressed at her play last night....except for this hand...I act after her, and we are somewhere in mid position...she raises to $11 and I thought about raising her, but just smooth called her raise with AKo...4 people go into this flop when it comes out Kh6d3s, checks to Rossly and she leads out $20, I raise it to $50, folds back to her and she instant mushes...I go into the tank and decide to make the call...I have her pocket 10s way crushed till she turns a 10 then says, I knew it was coming, thats why I mushed the flop....yeah right...nice hand...Now the rest of the night im playing Heinze Poker...I get alot of it back from her but she somehow learned to stay away from my pots cause she couldn't wiin another hand from me after I show her the nuts the rest of the nght...
Meanwhile Kenny is talkin shit, so I mention to him I would slow roll him the rest of the night...I only said that to him cause he is talkin big shit to me, and the rest of the table...So we get into this one pot and I ended up having King High...everyone mucks they cards and Kenny shows a King as well, I say I have a Jack with it, and he sits there waiting...waiting for me to scoop the pot...I say Jack high is good I guess and I reach for the pot, and he flips over his other King for Pocket Kings....I try to ignore the slow roll but he stares at me smiling, till I say somethin and the whole table laughs...Ok....He started somethin now...He sat there and stared till I acknowledged the slow roll and I laughed..but its on now...
Ha, Here is my perfect opportunity to get his dumb ass back...Matta fact, last hand of the night...which puts me over the top for a small but decent profit for the game....
Kenny is first to act and raises to $10...folds around to me and I re-raise to $20 with AKh..he calls...Flop comes out 9K2..he checks, I bet out $25, he just calls, Turn brings a 4s and he checks, I push all in...he starts talkin shit again..."what, you did what? you fucked up...shows me a K...I just sit there, he asks me to show him 1 card...I tell him I can't in this situation, stop wasting time and fold...He shows me his Q kicker...now he is out of his seat, talkin shit, tryiin to get me to show a card, I refuse and he says, sorry but I gotta call...I immediately say Good call and act like im bout to muck my cards...then a K falls on the river..he is boosted, so when he is about to rake the pot in, I say I win, and show my king with an Ace...he says how do you win...I point to the ace and he is SICK...3 handed after that hand, so we call it a night....Get Back at its finest!!! He was like, damn I thought I won that pot like shit, I was cised then you did that bullshit on me, I seen him earlier today and still talkin about it LOL He told me its war from now on out!

Pink Game is Brutal
No matter what I do, How I play, I ship it...
My hands just can't hold up when I flop the nuts, or monsters not gettin there...Maybe its cause I host...I honestly feel that I play decent, I can play bad, but I try not too play THAT bad...I don't open up my hand selection that much, only playing hands to scoop...betting when I need to, raising when I need to, trying not to miss any bets when it counts at least...but I just can't seem to get the garbage out there or even someone drawing to a bigger hand, which is understandable...
Point is...I can't win at my own game, But the game is soooo much fun...eh...maybe next Friday I can make up for all the losses I have takin at my own game....
Damn the pinkness is brutal to me, but a gold mine to others that seem to cash 3 plus racks every week!

Who knew the straddle was a piece of gold?
When I said I was gonna deal the Fish Tank last night to see some crazy action, I wasn't lying...Indeed it was a CLASSIC evening!
Pops made a nice piece of change lastnight! Pops told me a story from last Tuesdays Game, but I promised I won't put it out there...ask Pops and maybe he will tell you the story, but you won't get it out from me, but it is classic!
The night started out with crazy action...seen alot of huge pots at start of the game...But it really didn't get too crazy till the wee hours of the morning...after 2 AM...
Candice got some dealing time, which was good for me so I can get a break, but soon as she sits down, couple hands later...she lets Erwin hit the Quad Jacks Bonus...and from what I heard from Candice's Friend was it was some crazy action...from here on out, we'll call Candice Friend that I have no clue what his name as CBF...Anyway, the quad jacks paid out $640 bucks to Erwin which he took in cash. He already had a decent stack in front of him.
Dimitri comes in the game after 2am and gets in the game for a million bucks...he is runnin REAL BAD...and decides he is going to blame Erwin for calling him out...they get into alot of verbal arguments and tells Erwin if he ever calls him after 2am to play poker, never to do that, in a threatining manner...He even went as far as if you ever want to play so early in the morning, come over his house and play heads up for any amount of money...which I found very humerous...and so did the rest of the table...Dimitri ships it all night, yelling at Erwin, blaming him for dragging him out the house, then threatens that he Erwin calls him again he would shoot him which is even funnier!
Now the straddle is golden....why? This is where CBF comes in...
Danny, a new regular at the Fish Tank missed his straddle...CBF is sitting behind everyone and there is an open seat in the 7 seat, so everyone invites him to sit down and watch the game from there instead of looking behind the 4 and 5 seats shoulders...he comes over and sits down...and Danny offers to give him the rock to play...the whole table had to agree, but Eddie said he didn't like it...but he didn't want to be the odd man out and was like fuck it...so I dealt him a hand and a couple people called maybe 4 spots called the straddle...flop comes out, couple people bet out, and Erwin sticks a big raise in there to "Protect" CBF...yeah good job, he lost the pot and CBF takes the pot down...and he played tight...getting his stack in with the best of it and as I sat there and watched that $6 free straddle from Danny, I would look at Danny and laugh my ass off cause his stack went from $6 bucks to over $250 in no time...Thats when everyone wanted to be dicks and be like, you should cash out now...I even heard I don't want him taking my stack when he only had $6 bucks...BUT YOU ALL LET HIM PLAY WITH IT, DON'T COMPLAIN NOW, AND YOU CAN'T FORCE HIM TO CASH OUT...In My Opinion, that would be the last thing I want is for him to cash out after running good, running his $6 bucks to way over $200...I guarantee that will never happen, and I knew it was gonna happen in the back of my head...
You know what sucks...most of the night, I knew what everyone was holding, and knew who was gonna win and can push the board up to show what was gonna win before the winner can table his cards...why can't I get reads like this when I play poker? Some crazy shit, That just shows me, that I don't pay as close attention when I play...which I need to start doing, I think I have just discovered 1 of a million leaks in my game...so I'm going to try and fine tune that either tonight at the pink game, or if I don't get a chance to play tonight, at Pops game Saturday Afternoon...I'm pretty sure there should be some nice stories tonight!

Snow + Ice +Poker = Alot of poker
Valentines day was Wednesday and the Girl didn't want them spending V-day playing poker, so they moved it to Tuesday Night...Just happens it was a major storm rollin through the DC area of nothing but mixed snow and ice...
Now I wasn't planning on coming out cause of the weather...I was broke too...Had $23 Bucks to my name after paying off my bills for the month...BUT...I was on the lock list and Trav said he would board me a buy in or two....Off to the Coral I go....
I think it was 7 maybe 8 player max cause of the weather...supposed to be a full table, but its understandable...
Wow I ran good...AA 9 times, KK 4 times, QQ 5 times...you get the picture?
Peaked my stack to a good $650 before I ran my QQs into some BS and got sucked out on, then it went down hill...I lost a good $200 and felt stuck, even though I was still up $200...I'm pretty sure alot of yall know the feeling...so I decided I aint leaving...game got to 4 players and we still played, ended up playing $5-$10 Limit four a couple of hours then back to NL again....lol Wholetime, I'm wondering where my last $200 was disappearing too...Fuck...
Game ended up breaking at 8:30 in the morning...left with a $19 profit...Sooo Stupid...Now I gotta fight the ice on the way home and the roads were TRECHEROUS...not to mention I left my phone there and didn't realise it till I got home...took a nap and went back out before it got dark and everything on the road re-froze up again....
Dealing Steve's game tonight, hopefully I'll be able to see some crazy shit tonight!

Online is Stupid
No live games lately...Not till Tuesday Night at the Coral at least...
So on MD-Poker.com, Pdoggie ended up getting a bunch of us together to play a $10 HORSE Sit N Go...Yeah I suck...Top 2 gets paid out...not a bad pay out for $10 bucks....But I didn't cash in none of them...
So I decided to play a $2 MTT on Absolute Poker...So stupid, to play so long to make shit money, granted I know its only $2 to play, but god damn...its ridiculous...but I am Happy I made it as far as I did, but I just couldn't close the deal when my AQ ran into AA...oh well, floped 3 hearts with my Ace being a heart, but couldn't pull the 4th heart out...oh well....Ned to build up a roll to play some real tournies on here...maybe I can do it like I did on Poker.com...Sitting with a little over a meatball starting with a hot $20 they sent me to play on the site with....
oh well...27 out of 402 players is pretty good I guess...if I can make it that far, I should be able to seal the deal :(

PINK
Pink Friday couldn't have come any sooner....Lots of the regs went up to Atlantic City for the weekend, so it was a possibility that the game was a no go....WRONG....Full game till the early morning!
Lots of rebuys, means lots of pretty pink chips on the table being flung around...I didn't get a chance to play this week, (which I believ is a good thing from how bad I have been running)
Anyway, game went on as usual and JackJr. was giving a run for everyone's money....He wasn't playing real well, but getting lucky on alot of draws....I saw him scoop a pot with 3 aces in his hand im omaha h/l...quad Kings up in 7-card stud...then delivered a crucial scoop in stud with some ridiculous hand that scooped a pot well over $500 bucks, then tried to cash out not even 15 minutes after that pot...granted it was close to 3am, but everyone felt it was a hit and run type move and I begged him to stay at least anouther 15 minutes so he stayed at least 30 minutes after taking that huge pot down...he agreed, but stayd longer than the 30 minutes and bled his 4 stacks down to cashing out $30 bucks...
I dealt most of the game cause Kenny wanted to take a break and ended up jumping in the game so I was in the box the rest of the morning till game broke, Kenny and Eddie played heads up $5-$10 Holdem till he broke kenny, played 2 short handed sit and gos, then called it a night.

Good Lawd I got My ass Handed To Me
God Damn It...I got my ass whooped last night at the Coral...Night started off slow...
No cards...finally....KK...I'm somewhere in Mid Position and was faced with Keenan's $8 raise...Upstairs....I make it $23 to go...$15 raise...Folds around to him and he makes it $45 to go, I insta call board comes out like 9 high...all red...he proceeds to shove his stack in the middle...I do have a feeling he has aces so I ask him..politely...
"Do You Have Aces?"
Keenan replies, "No"
"K..I call"
He flips over his Aces...
"why did you lie to me man?"
"I was being sarcastic"
River brings a heartbreaking KING!!!
"Oooh" I flip over my kings..."You should'nt have lied, I would've folded"
which I honestly would've...
The rest of the night I folded away...
Got in a hand with Jeff...now I get to feel how it gets sucked out on...
No raise and I limp in with 55
Flop comes out 85Q (2 clubs)
Now I'm not sure if Jeff checked and I bet, or if Jeff bet and I raised...to see the turn
Turn comes out and he flat bangs it for the rest of his stack, I insta call...
River comes out a 9 and his TJ gets there for the straight...
Rebuy...Rebuy...Rebuy...Rebuy...Rebuy..was the story...
Last hand that finally made me tired of gettin my ass whooped...I'm UTG and look down to AA...Raise it to $15...Pietro is the only caller, 7 high board, I decide I'm going to check raise him and get some money in the pot, I check, he bets out $15 or $20, I raise it all in, he insta calls and says "set" god damn....2 outs can't get there...he shows me dueces....I can't take nomore ass whoopings and call it a night...
I dont think I played bad, and going over many of the hands last night, I don't think I would've played any hands any differently...Thats just how it goes sometimes....Gotta roll with the Losses from time to time...STUPID GAME!!!
No cards...finally....KK...I'm somewhere in Mid Position and was faced with Keenan's $8 raise...Upstairs....I make it $23 to go...$15 raise...Folds around to him and he makes it $45 to go, I insta call board comes out like 9 high...all red...he proceeds to shove his stack in the middle...I do have a feeling he has aces so I ask him..politely...

which I honestly would've...
The rest of the night I folded away...
Got in a hand with Jeff...now I get to feel how it gets sucked out on...
No raise and I limp in with 55
Flop comes out 85Q (2 clubs)
Now I'm not sure if Jeff checked and I bet, or if Jeff bet and I raised...to see the turn
Turn comes out and he flat bangs it for the rest of his stack, I insta call...
River comes out a 9 and his TJ gets there for the straight...
Rebuy...Rebuy...Rebuy...Rebuy...Rebuy..was the story...
Last hand that finally made me tired of gettin my ass whooped...I'm UTG and look down to AA...Raise it to $15...Pietro is the only caller, 7 high board, I decide I'm going to check raise him and get some money in the pot, I check, he bets out $15 or $20, I raise it all in, he insta calls and says "set" god damn....2 outs can't get there...he shows me dueces....I can't take nomore ass whoopings and call it a night...
I dont think I played bad, and going over many of the hands last night, I don't think I would've played any hands any differently...Thats just how it goes sometimes....Gotta roll with the Losses from time to time...STUPID GAME!!!

The Dreaded weekend...
HORSE tournament at Pops House! Looking forward to this tourney since he posted he was gonna run it...did I get to play? Hell No...After my Pink Game broke, I didn't even have the power to clean up the mess we made from the night before, Didn't even make it home, jumped on the couch and went to sleep...got enough nerve to drive home, dizzy as can be, to sleep the rest of the night away till Sunday afternoon.....
Now Sunday afternoon, I was locked for Digg's Super Bowl Bash...Poker, Strippers....Party Party Party....and I wasn't a part of it....I did force myself to get out of bed close to game time to head over to my cousin's house at the very least where I can feel comfortable being sick around family...Played some $1-$1 NL also....made a quick Ball after getting into the game for $200 when Kenny stacked me with A9o to my Kings when he tripped his 9s on the river....Got him back though....Game broke fairly early, wanted to go home early anyway....now im here typing, still under the weather...I have 3 days to get my health back in order to play the Coral.

P*I*N*K*I*T*U*P
Scooter said he didn't want to play this week, and jumped on me because he is always shipping it, but he has it the other way around, when bad play pays him off, he is a happy scooter, but when he plays bad and loses, he is ready to quit...
He ended up comin out, after waiting a million hours...I hope he learned his lesson taking off the auto lock!!!
anyway, Lawd I was SICK as a dog...I mean nasty sick, it was nasty....I felt bad just coughing all night long and tried to stay as far away from the table as possible...heh, till it was my turn to play!
Game went really well, despite the fact I was super sick...and its Super Bowl weekend too....Lots of parties/poker coming up that I was looking forward to attending....
Anyway, chalk up another loss for me at the pink game...not that big of a loss this time around, when I was actually ramming and jamming the pot when I flopped a set of Kings on a king high, non straight board...Scooter is in it to win it with his flopped set of I can't even remember....the only thing I can be afraid of is the the flush draw....after capping the shit out of each street, the flush draw gets thereon the river....Busted....This game is AWESOME!

The Fish Tank
Wow what a game!!! After a quick recovery and throwing up twice in the morning, I dealt Steve's game on Thursday...
It was a bigger turn out than normal...2 full tables running till 5AM which brought up a few concerns, after a recent robbery, our sense of security has heightened again...it was a wake up call that our games in fact are not as safe as we think...not saying all games get robbed, but since games were not getting robbed as much as last year, its time that home game operators need to tighten up security and just be more careful as far as who we let into our home games and how we operate it to avoid robberies...
Game was going strong, but I usually have to leave around 6-6:30 to beat traffic back to my part of town to take my daughter to school....But Bi and I muscled 12+ Hours between us and 2 tables quite well...Looking forward to another night like this one!
I meant to blog about the robbery a while ago, but it slipped my mind...I do know these folks and have attended this game many of times, I'm just lucky that I wasn't there this time around as I started getting a little worried that it would get robbed...I even voiced my concerns a couple months ago about the security....Here is the article from the Washington Post

Robbery Nets Cash, And Pants Of Victims

We've heard of losing your shirt gambling. But your pants?
Late one night last weekend in a quiet College Park neighborhood, police answered a call about an armed robbery. Once there they found what looked like the center of a professional gambling ring. They also found 12 men, missing their cash, their cellphones -- and their pants.
"It's comical," said Deborah Turner, a next-door neighbor, giggling. "Like something you'd see in an Eddie Murphy movie."
Some of the men had told neighbors they were graduate students at the nearby University of Maryland, gathering for a study group. Now police are looking for them; the house has been abandoned, and the victims, a spokesman said, could be charged with illegal gambling.
In the days before the Super Bowl, they're not the only ones placing bets. Tim Otteman, who studies sports gambling at Central Michigan University, said he started counting the proposition bets off that one game (who'll win the coin toss, who'll fumble first) and tired of it at about 170. Tens of billions of dollars are spent on illegal sports gambling in the United States every year, he said, and college students are several times more likely than the average person to jump in.
Linda Clement, vice president for student affairs at U-Md., said she has known parents who've called for help for a son -- men get hooked far more often than women -- or individual students who've asked for counseling for a gambling addiction. But it's rare, she said.
U-Md. freshman Max Ostheller wasn't surprised when he read about the suspected gambling ring in yesterday's Diamondback, the student paper. The pants, though, were a surprise. But the idea that a group was placing bets in some basement didn't raise an eyebrow.
"Everyone gambles," he said, not meaning people getting mired in debt but rather a little money changing hands. He laughed; this case, he said, was just a little different.
It was the pants.
Neighbors thought something was weird.
A group of guys moved in a few weeks ago with just a small van, hauling in a table and some chairs but no other furniture, said Turner, who lives next door. She met one of them, who said he would be gathering with other students to study. She thought he was cute. Not a lot of furniture, a little different, but a nice guy.
Almost immediately, the quiet dead end of Bridgewater Street was buzzing with traffic. Lots of cars came to the little brick ranch house, and lots of young men, who seemed to be staying there round-the-clock. Sometimes they'd be parked up and down the block, on both sides of the street, said her father, Shelton Turner. Nice new cars that didn't seem like typical student rides -- a BMW, a Lexus, a Nissan something or other.
"Beautiful cars," 20 or 25 at a time, said Jovan Stevenson, who lives across the street. And always men. "I never saw a girl there." That's no study group, he said.
They didn't use the front door, neighbors said, and it seemed to get busier at night and on weekends. There was no furniture upstairs -- just one old office chair in the middle of the hardwood floor of the living room. And curtains were always drawn in the basement, where the lights were on.
Then the trash started to pile up -- a lot. Another neighbor complained about all the comings and goings late at night. It wasn't the typical student house, Shelton Turner said -- usually those have parties with lots of kids standing outside drinking beer.
"This has been a family neighborhood for years," said his wife, Matilda Turner. Then some owners began renting houses to students.
Shortly before 2:30 a.m. Saturday, Prince George's County police were called to the house. They found three professional gaming tables, flat-screen TVs, a bar and a cash room. Two men with handguns had made off with the proceeds, apparently. The men in the house had gotten fleeced.
There was no official explanation for the missing pants. Neighbors and students were more than ready to speculate; some said it had to be to keep the victims from chasing after the bad guys.
When police returned the next day to follow up, everyone was gone and the place had been emptied. Neighbors are hoping that someone will take away the trash bags -- more than 16 of them, bulging with empty cases of beer, fried chicken boxes and cans of Red Bull.

Went over to the Coral's new spot for the first $1-$2 NL game...Game was as is, nice action, good game, but I got into it with JackJr. this time....We got to exchanging alot of words...ALOT OF WORDS....Everyone said I was a dick...Yup, sure Was....for some reason, JackJr. sucked out on a pot on me, and he of course I flipped out, and said, wow, you only tipped Travis $1 for that hand....nice hand sir...then he said somethin bout eat shit, and that did it, I went off...I even slowrolled his ass....got dealt pocket Aces, told him I had ace high, he showed his pair of queens on a King High Board...and said, Sike, I got Aces...ship it...he was furious....Later on the next day I appologized for the foolishness and all is well.....Anyway By that time, it was time for me to go to the club...
