I got back form Vegas a couple days ago and am now hanging around Knoxville for some time during the holidays. Overall Vegas was a good trip, it was fun seeing the Bellagio poker room packed everytime we walked in, regardless of what time of day it was. I played 25/50 while my buddy played 10/20, and both of us did well. I got to stack Phil Laak on a good call and apparently antagonized Vanessa Rousso in one big bluff I ran. Pretty funny stuff, but I'll leave the details out here. So I ended up a little over 50k in that game, playing some interesting pots and getting chastised for being young (wtf?) and the entire gamut, now I'm ready to get back to online and focus and crush. Unfortunately due to a stupid staking deal I traded 1/2 of my friends action for 1/2 or mine, just incase I busto everything i went with or something to that notion. Well, he won 10k at 10/20 and so we each got 30k. Bad beat. I came back home to Knoxville and put in 2 sessions, ending +20k, so now I'm up 63k online this month, and I still have a few days to lay back and grind.

And with that comes this personal challege to me. I've been feeling like I want a new car recently, even tho my current one only has 10kmiles on it or whatever. Check it out here: http://autos.yahoo.com/2007_mercedes_benz_slk_class_slk280_roadster/
Anyway take a look at these whips theyre so sick:
The Mercedez CL550: http://autos.yahoo.com/2007_mercedes_benz_cl_class_cl550_coupe-slideshow/?tab=gen&i=izp_angularrear#imgs
Or maybe the BMW M6: http://autos.yahoo.com/2007_bmw_m6_coupe-slideshow/?tab=gen&i=izp_angularfront&a=all#imgs

Ok so sometime soon I have to go to the dealership and get my car's 10kmiles checkup, buy maybe I'll come back with a whole new car altogether. So I decided that if I made enough bread (im saying 60k would be enough to upgrade) between yesterday (22nd) and the 31st, I'd get the car. Now, this should be feasible assuming I game select well enough and play some real volume. Today I played a 1700 hand session that was pretty nuts, ended up good so I can't complain. As of this moment I'm up 11.2 out of the 60 needed. Updates to come, I'll keep you posted, in the meantime help me choose between a car!!

Some obligatory hands from past session:
Inducing the bluffs, thats what I do:

So far I've had a really swingy month, and as a result I've been a lot less inclined to play long hours the past few days. I suppose a reasonable goal for online this month would be to get to 50k. I may only have like 15 days to play this month, and I think that's a pretty reasonable goal given that. I have finals through Thursday, which sucks but I gotta spend some time prepping for those. After that I'm off to LV for a week or so, then holiday stuff and visiting family etc. I just re-booked my flight to Vegas, I think I get in late on Thursday the 13th. Obv I'm excited to get over there, albeit a little late, for the side games from the 5 Diamond donkament. I'll prob play mostly 25/50 but will likely find my way to 50/1 once I get back accustomed to live poker again. I dunno what to expect really, the 10/20 I've played there is quite possibly the lamest game ever, with shortstackers everywhere and big stacks playing like they have their entire life savings on the table, and 7-way limping preflop and so-forth. The times I've played 25/50 there I found it to be pretty soft and people more willing to fold a hand sometimes. Hopefully I can book a win, I'm pretty excited as I've heard the action thus far has been great.

So I think I finally busted HoodyHooTay. We had another marathon session yesterday in which I ran up his 2k into over 9k in about 20 mins, then breaking even for what seemed like forever until I finally broke through.

Ok so the past 2 days I've been going at it with this seemingly huge fish, HoodyHooTay. Yesterday he was holding it over me and I was really tilty/playing pretty bad. His style I would describe as really gay tag lame donkish. That kinda style tilts me bad, he's capable of doing incredibly stupid things, but mostly is abc boring. Today we played for over 5 hours straight, and I ended up around 4k. Overall he's up 2.1k on me but that obviously can't last so long as oxygen reaches my brain.

Onto some hands....

So I started off December up around 16k, mainly from a solid 10/20 and 25/50 HU session where I played weak competition with relative ease. Today I fell back into old habits, generally playing on autopilot and letting stupid things tilt me to no end. I ended down around 11k which isn't so bad since I'm still up 21k over the weekend. But still it irks me to no end that I still do this, imo its immature and you never see great players blow up like this.

Here's a retarded bluff:

So I've finally decided to start a poker blog. I've debated doing it for a little while but generally have been to lazy or otherwise unmotivated to do so, but I think overall it'd be beneficial to me to go over some sessions and examine them in greater detail, and obviously writing about them will do just that.

November was a good month overall, I finally got refocused on HU play and played at the level I'm capable of. I didn't really game select, but I limited myself to 2 tables at a time, and I think it really helped.



Now I have to figure out how to get more hands in...
Here's my biggest pot ever: Submitted by : franchise
