If I didn't black cat myself!

Yes indeed...I black cat myself. If its one valuble lesson I have learned over the years of playing poker, is never get ahead of yourself. What I mean by that is, You really can't go to a game, in your mind, "knowing" you are the best player there. Gotta stay humble, or you will find your self making the most dumbest plays ever.

Its a couple games that I have been frequently playing at lately, just because the play there is so bad...I have been going off and on the past 6 months maybe, hitting one of the 3 games at least once every 2 weeks...logging in a win...then I started making it out more frequently...with more wins being logged, and worse case scenario, I break dead even, and make a run for it...just to keep my record clean at these games.

Friday night's game didn't run last night, so I get a text from @onafolddraw "what's your back up plan?" My reply, "I'm going to Wolf's game tonight, you want to go and run it like we did in Atlantic City?"

So the plan has been set, we are off to Wolfs...So Travis stops by my place, its a little early...so he has the bright idea and wants to tell me he has an ego boost. So of course, I had to brag a little bit and tell him that I have never lost at these games. I swear, 15 seconds after I said that, I knew it was a wrap for that game. All I kept thinking about was the Ted Effect.

Ted Effect (Adj.) 1. To brag about ones self of superiority to another, then ship it at the game as punishment for bragging. 2. Black catting ones self. 3. Simply put: You Jinxed Yourself Dummy!

What's really put the icing on the cake, Knowing I jinxed myself, I still made a comment on Twitter, that I really didn't want too, but did anyway... Ehonda500MobReally, the fish are getting frustrated...hate to sound so up on myself, but these dudes are so outclassed

After that tweet, it was a wrap...The frustration set in early...couldn't shake it tilting for nothing...But like I heard someone say to someone...How can you be tilting when you are already playing bad.

I should've gotten up even to keep my record clean...Just couldn't get myself to give up...All that "swallow up your pride" to withhold an image is out the door again...

So to end my night, I decided to do a bonehead play and give @fivefingerz a +400 pot. He makes it $30 PF, I cold call with A5s. Flop: AdXsXs Top pair, Nut Flush Draw, Ricky bets out $35, I just mush for over $200...He tanks, and thinking I had the As ready to show, I turn my card over and see its the 5s...It's already too late to play it off, so whatever happens, happens...He ends up calling with AJ, which after I show the 5, he doesn't put his house note in the pot, I have no clue...But he ends up calling and I get up cause the Spade doesn't fall...Bonehead I swear...I swear...I meant to show the As to induce action. Eh...Live and Learn...Lesson...Just never show the fucking card...it never works out...How about when I get QQ the other night at Tanyas and Ivans game and Donk to my right flopped Bottom pair (He is holding 64o) to a raise of $35 pf. He checks on a 9 high board so I put him all in for for nomore that $100 and I show him 1 Q...he says, I am probably beat so he sticks his money in...oh look at the turn card, he peeled his 2 outer...6 on the turn..Ding!

Fuck Showing Cards, That amateur play is out my play book from now on!

2009 Borgata Poker Open

Eh, If you did not know already, I didn't go to the last O8 event at the Borgata couple months ago. I didn't want to go solo up there, and being I had to leave to AC immediately after Monday Night's game, there was no way I was going up solo.

Well, I got another shot again!

The Borgata has the 2009 WPT Borgata Poker Open coming up September 9 - September 24, 2009. I'm going to take my shot at the Omaha H/L event. $400 bucks for a 2 day event.

I guess since I'm up there, if I don't survive, I can take a shot at a sattelite event to get into the Main Event.

I suck at keeping up my blog...I can text my ass off though...so follow me on Twitter @ehonda500Mob

I always say this, but I'll try to keep this up.
