went to winstar world casino last night/yesterday morning, played for 8 fucking hours...jesus christ. there was a point where for 2 hours i didn't win a hand... and i could only play one.
i also figured it out...200nl at a casino is 2nl online...fish fish fish fish drunk fish EVERYWHERE. terrrrrrible play. I had AT on the button 6 handed and this dude called me w/ 53o, hit his 5. Same guy also shoved w/ 64o against AK and hit a 6 on the river...people shoving w/ mid pair low kicker like Q 6 on a AKQ83 board and getting called by people with like Q2...
absolutely amazing. But when you run bad like me thats not good. I played 3 hands in the first 4 hours, and they were 3 hands in a row, about 15 hands after i sat down i got AQs which i won a nice $160 on 2 pair, then next hand i got was AKo which i split, then after that hand i got AJs(which i decided was +EV b/c of all the fish) and i folded on the K 4 6 flop.
Betting is absolutely atrocious there. It's usually a standard $15-$30 raise from UTG
Then after that, you'll have atleast 4 people in the pot and a $30 bet can take it sometimes if no one hit anything.
After 6 hours of dry cards, my table finally got broken up and i got moved to another table w/ my manager (the guy who everyone told me to play hu and rape b/c he plays on fulltilt while at work and then bitches at me for blogging on lp...so revenge was very nice)..anyway my table had my manager (also the luckiest fucking person i've ever met) and 3 1000nl regs that didn't have enough people to play a table. Along with that was a drunk mexican who was the loosest guy i've ever seen, and a guy from panama. I show up w/ about $130, and i am super super super short stacked. theres like 4 people w/ about $700 (my manager, the luckiest man in the world) and the 3 1kNL regs), and everyone else had me covered. My manager bought in for 200, went busto. Then he bought in for 100, went busto. Then he went to the ATM machine, tried 3 cards, and couldn't get any money b/c he was maxed out. Then he goes to the bathroom, finds a $100 bill in a cup in a stall, and goes back and plays some more. He ends up having a $700 stack...looses some hands, and is down to about 400, when this hand happens....
* DONK ALERT *
Not sure about preflop betting, but i know there was some, obv.
Theres four people in the hand, and the flop is T J Q...My manager has K9 and bets out about 1/2 pot size. Everyone folds except for the panamanian who has TJ. He calls. Turn is like a 4 or something pointless. Manager bets out 40, panama makes it 120, boss makes it 250, panama calls. River is a K. Manager yells "FUCCCCCCCCK!" Random dude says "watch your language that K didn't do anything to you" manager says "That king did everything to me. Check" Panama makes a vital vital vital mistake... He bets 100 into a pot atleast 450. Manager says "i am soooo pot committed, i have to see it." so he calls. 9-K straight wins on the T J Q 4 K board...Unbelievable... and all my manager said was "great hand, you played that well, you did great, nice hand nice hand. Man you had a nice hand, great hand" I was embarassed. I can't believe my manager big league'd that dude like that... it was unbelievable.
Anyway, here's my 200nl real life graph from Winstar Tracker 3... that i made in paint.
So my manager lost 200, lost 100, found 100 in the bathroom, bought in, got up to ~700, lost some and ended finishing +$147. If i had PT3 running on him he would be about... 90/40/10 (not making this up, those are serious estimates) through about 600 hands.

So yesterday while at work i got to thinking about the economy and poker. Now before i begin, i would like to tell everyone that i am very ignorant to this whole subject. All i know is that the economy is SHIT right now, and banks/insurance companies/housing is hitting the fan right now. I was reading up on it when i found a yahoo headline that said
"FDIC reports low on funds"
So i do know that an individual account is insured up to $100,000. Right now the FDIC is reporting they have $50 billion. They need over 1 Trillion dollars. They were saying they need to take out a loan from the government. Thats ATLEAST $950,000,000,000.
I know for a fact that they don't have the money. So a sortage in the FDIC means that when banks fail, and they don't have money, the "safety net" of the FDIC is failing as well. So if i can't get my money from the bank, i can't get money from the FDIC, that means there's no more money for me.
What i really wanted to touch up on in this post is this...I've never cashed out, i don't know what happens when you do. My buddy told me that on PS when you cash out you get a check from some bank in Atlanta....My thinking is, what if this bank doesn't have any money?? You can't cashout your roll, right?? So what happens when #1. my savings are gone #2. my checking is gone #3 my 300 roll on PS is gone???
A) Can #3, my roll, disappear?
B) Should i take all monies out of all account and just do it by cash??
Thoughts and opinions and answers on the BR thinking...
So i'm at work right now, checkin out some blogs on the 'ole liquidpoker.net... and i'm watching my boss play poker on fulltilt.
that puts me on lifetilt... grrr... he just yelled at me 2 days ago for blogging on here...
I've been living in the Dallas area for 20 years, and i've never seen any rain from a hurricane since i've been here. As a matter of fact, the only weather related incident i've seen from a hurricane is it dropped to 70 degrees and was really windy when Gustav hit a couple of weeks ago.
Ike is now a Category 3 hurricane, and in Galveston it started flooding b/c of the storm surge the hurricane brings when the hurricane was still 200 MILES AWAY. They are expecting to get another 2 feet of rain b/c of the hurricane. My friend was there and the "Flood Wall" that galveston created at 5 P.M. today (four hours ago) and said that water was already overflowing over the wall. The wall is 17 feet tall.
From my understanding, the last Cat-3 hurricane that hit Galveston was in the year 1900, and 1,600 people died. Obv, they didn't have technology that said would make them aware of a hurricane, and they couldn't evacuate, so the death toll won't be as high, but damn.
Going back to the "i've never seen the effects of a hurricane in Dallas", If the hurricane stays true to it's size and path, it will hit Galveston as a Cat-3, then it will be a Cat-2 when it reaches Waco, then then a Cat-1 HURRICANE when it hits DALLAS, finally turning into a tropical storm when it gets into OKLAHOMA.
So Galveston is flooded, hurricane has yet to make landfall, expected at 1A.M., they will get 2 more feet of rain. Dallas will be hit by a hurricane, and my games tomorrow will be cancelled.
On the positive, i made my own LP avatar for the weekly loto
This is a very interesting situation i am in... Hurricane Ike is 600 miles in diameter, and is as big as the state of Texas (which it's going to hit Galveston). I've been hit by a hurricane while on vacation in Florida, but it wasn't as big as this. We are expecting to get 4-6 inches of rain in DALLAS. Thats 300 miles away from the coast. I've lived here for all 20 years, and i don't remember ever getting rain from a hurricane. Ever. When it hits Galveston, it's expected to be a category 4 which is up to 155 MPH winds...Hurricane Katrina which destroied New Orleans was a Cat-3.
Interesting...

*edit
i could have atleast spelled hurricane right in the title.

Had a great 3 table 6max session, but quit when things started falling apart but i was still up considerably. I went to the Kimball Art Museum in Ft. Worth saturday to view some paintings and sculptures. I have to right a 6 page paper on a painting and i chose The Cardsharps by Caravaggio.
Cowboys won today 28-10. beat the shit out of cleveland.
Romo is my fucking hero, along with Josh Hamilton of course.
I had my first game of the Old Mans League... Pitched well, but gave up 4 runs in 3 innings... we lost 4-3. There was like 4 errors made so my ERA should be low. I went 1-2 with a 2 RBI single up the middle in the last inning. Almost had a comeback.
Then i took a nap. Now i'm doing laundry and about to play Raquetteball.
***EDIT***
omg i understand why ya'll want gun control so much... it's to prevent fucking tards from doing this....
