Man right now I feel like shit ughhhh. I drank my face off last night and found my self yacking out back for a bit. I dont usually yack but shots were flying around like crazy. Really good party overall though. Anyone have some good hangover cures?
Anyways its a new year and I need some new goals for the year so here are some that I made for myself:
> 20-30k hands each month
> Become a regular at 1/2 - 3/6 LHE 6 Max
> Start playing HU
> Study the game more
> Have a 10k BR by the end of the year
I think that all of these goals are very reachable as long as I stay discipline. Im most likely going to be moved into my new place by Monday and dont start school until the 13th so Im going to have some time to put in a serious grind. Anyways I hope everyone had a great New Years. Im going to pass the fuck out for a bit.
I played for quite a bit today and managed to make a nice 60BB win. Slow and steady goes the grind lol. At the rate Im going I should hopefully be playing .5/1 LHE by the middle of January or so, maybe a bit soon if I can clear my bonus. Looks like Im not going to make Goldstar Oh well.
Here is the worst beat Ive had in a while lol:

Thats what I get for trying to slow roll. Guess I was behind the whole time.
Tonight is going to be a total shit show. My buddies are throwing a huge kegger at there place. So many people are going its going to be nuts. Im pretty pumped. It will be nice to see people I havent seen in a long time. Anyways hopefully I have some stories for you guys in my next blog lol.
Hey guys. I hope everyone had a great christmas. Mine was pretty borign actually. I dont have a lot of family in the area I live in so christmas is pretty quite at my place. I did however eat way to much as always lol.
I just got a new laptop because my other one went to the shits. Its a pretty nice Toshiba and it came with Windowns vista which I am still sort of getting used to. I heard Vista is pretty buggy but so far I cant really complain about anything. I also finally have sound back! YAY.
On boxing day I took my little bro and his friend out. They wanted to go to a bunch of snowboard places to look for clothes etc. I ended up buying a nice Famous shirt at one of the stores for only $15. Nice. Then I took them to a shoe store which happened to be across from one of the best bong stores around. I went over hoping they had a boxing day sale going on and they did. They had up to 50% off on a lot of stuff. I really had my eye on an unreal GEAR bong but it was a bit to much for me right now so Instead I ended up buying a pretty decent sized bong for $50. This will fit perfectly in my room when I move away and that way I dont have to waste all this weed rolling joints all the time.
The other day I watched the UFC fights too. They were all great fights and Im glad there was so many knock outs. I was glad Rampage won because hes had a rough ride ever since he lost the belt to Griffin. I was a little bit surprised that Frank Mir dominated his fight like he did. I thought for sure it was going to be pretty close but man it was pretty ugly. As for the Griffin Evans fight I didnt really have one person I wanted to win more then the other. Rashad put up a great fight and ended up winning it by KO. Forst Griffin despite the loss was all class afterwords. What a great sport he is. He will be back thats for sure. Who has the next shot at Rashad Evans? Is it Rampage?
Other then that I havent been up too much. Last night I played a hockey game in Port Dover and forgot my fucking gold chain whcih used to belong to my grandpa at the arena. I just called them to see if it turned up but nope... that fucking tilted the shit outta me. They said to call back tomorrow but Im not getting my hopes up
New years is coming up pretty quick and I cant wait. My buddies are throwing a huge party at there place in St. Catharines. They got 7 Texas mickeys and 4 Kegs! Going to be an absolute shit show. Im going up with my buddy Braedon and 2 girls. The one I ve been trying to wheel for a while now and things have been going alright but we've both been so busy lately that we havent had any time to hang out or anything. This is the same girl that wanted me to come out to the bar one night and my buddy just completely embarassed me that night. (Shes over it lol) Shes bringing a friend who is damn cute too so hopefully my buddy has some success lol. Hopefully I do too lol. Its going to be nice to see everyone again at this party because a lot of people are home right now that I havent seen in a long time.
As for poker, I hadnt played at all online since chirstmas day until today. I did play a few $5 winner take all tourneys with my friends. We played 4 games and I ended up winning 3/4 That helped me pay my awful phone bill lol so that was a nice win. I had to download HEM again on my new comp and get all that shit setup so Im having a "new start" with a brand new database. Im to lazy to get all the shit from my old comp onto here. I played ab it this morning and made about 60BB's which was a nice start lol. I watched a few training videos by some great LHE players and it helped me out a bit. I think Im taking better lines in hands now and getting a lot more value out of them. Not sure if Im going to play anymore today because I have a lot of shit to do but if the tables are really juicy I might not be able to resist lol.
Congrats to SakiSaki too. That is so sick that he took down the biggest Sunday Million ever. Thats some life changing money to win there. Enjoy it man. Let us know what your first baller purchase is lol. I wish I could hit a big score like that too.
Anyways Im going to try and watch a few episodes of Californication. I heard its a pretty good show. My one buddy said it might be better then Entourage but I find that hard to believe lol. Hope everyone has a great new years. PZZZ
Hope everyone is having a good chirstmas week. I just wanted to do a little update on what Ive been up too.
Its been snowing like crazy here. In the last week we have gotten more snow then I have seen in a long time. Unfortunatly today it started to rain and its supposed to go up to 9 degrees celsius tomorrow so most of the snow will be gone. I was hoping the boys and I would be able to get some good games of pond hockey in over the break but its really not looking like its going to happen. Oh well.
I finally got back out on the ice yesterday for the first time in close to a month. I fractured my foot and have been watching from the stands for a while. We've been doing alright but I was appy to get back out there until I actually got to the practice. We have lost the last 4 games and they were games we for sure should have won so the coaches were a little bit pissed off. But seriously there was only 9 people at practice last night because of the weather/family things for chirstmas and we got skated for half the practice. Sweet way to return. I was dead tired at the end because I have been smoking cigs and dope way to much lately lol. I wont be playing much after this week because Im moving away and where I play is just over an hour drive from my hosue and since I wont have a car its going to be hard to make it there for practice on a tuesday. Not really sweating it that much... school is going to be a blast lol.
This brings me to the new place. I am hoping to be fully moved into my house by January 5. I still need to do another coat of paint + do the trim in my room. I plan on doing that on Saturday. I also need to somehow get a desk into my room. I think Im just going to make one instead of buying a whole desk. The one I have in my room right now would never be able to fit in there once I get my bed and stuff in there. I want my desk to go wall to wall so Im going to need to take some measurements the next time I go down there. I also need to find a new bed for my room. I think I will only be able to fit a double in there if I want to have a decent sized desk. I better get on that eh lol. Im pretty excited to move out. Should be a blast.
My computer has been on the shits lately. My powercord is stripped so I have to fiddle with it for a bit before it starts to charge and its really annoying. Also for a while I have had no sound so I finally took it in to find out whats wrong with it (im not the best with fixing comps etc.) and he basically said there is nothing wrong it might be my speakers. I asked how much it would be to fix this and he said that they would have to send it out blah blah blah and it would cost a lot. Powercords arent that cheap either so I think I might have to get a new laptop. UGH.
Since Ive had to move back down to .25/.5 things have been going alright. Ive been winning consistently but its a pretty slow grind at that level. I doubt I will be able to get Goldstar playing this limit and since Im going to be pretty busy this week I dont think I will be rolled for .5/1 again by the end of the month but thats alright. Ill have a week to grind when I ge tmoved in so hopefully I can grind it out.
Anyways I hope everyone has a great christmas and a happy new year. Drink a lot
First off before I get into what up I just wanted to say that ultimate poker is a fucking joke and so is Phil Hellmuth. I mean seriously how the hell do they expect to get any buisness when 1. They have a shit record and scammed people out of money and 2. The biggest plug in Vegas Phil Hellmuth is there poster boy LOL! thank fuck I dont play there and if you do... come to stars.
Anyways Yesterday I didnt get to play much poker because I went snowboarding at Blue Mountain with 2 of my buddies. We planned on being outta the city by 8 since it was a 2 hour drive. This turned into leaving at 10:30 lol. The joints on the drive made it an alright hike lol.
We got to the Mountain around 1:00, got our tickets and hit the hills. My one buddy Kevin is still a pretty new snowboarder and was a bit nervous because the places he has snowboarded at dont even compare to how sick Blue is. After a couple of hard spills and faces full of snow he managed to get the hang of it again and did well all day. My other buddy Braedon snowboards so he did fine. Every once and a while we would have to stop half way down the hill cuz Kevin bailed or something lol.
On the way up my mom called us to tell us there is a huge snowstorm coming that way and that if it gets really shitty out maybe we should stay over. I found it hard to believe because it was sunny out when we were driving. We snowboarded all day and around 4:30 it started snowing... I dont mean just coming down nicely... it was a fucking blizzard. You honestly could not see the next chair lift in front of you thats how hard it was snowing. Going down the hills was a challange on its own because you couldnt see anything in front of you or where the hills got steaper. It stopped snowing really hard around 6ish. After this I honestly got in some of the best runs I have ever had. It must have snowed 20cm and all the runs were barely touch so it was sick. I had a good time with those guys and would definitly go again.
Today I woke up pretty early and decided to play some pokes even though things have been going so shitty for me over the last while. I opened up a few nice tables and started playing. It was a rocky start and I felt like it might be another shitty day but I managed to turn things around and make about 35BB on the first morning session.
I jsut finished playing a session and I saw the biggest fish alive playing in a .5/1 game so I decided to play in it. It was a good idea. I raped this guy and ended up another 35BB. Ship. It felt good winning again today lol. Hopefully I can keep it up and be able to move back up at the end of the month. I found it kind of interesting that a lot of the regs I see at .5/1 or that I used to play with at .25/.50 and moved up with are playing .25/.50 again. I talked to them and they said they are having super shit swings. They told me how big some of them were and they made my 200BB downer look like nothing. Maybe its just that time of the year lol.
Anywho Im gonna go get baked and try the New Prince of Persia game... hope it good.
Today I was a real moron. I chased a fish up to a game that I shouldnt have been in and got fucking owned pretty good. I was running terrible in the game and got coolered 3 times. Soooooooooooooooooooooooo I tried making it back at my lvl and just continued to run bad. I think it might have gotten to doomswitch for the big withdrawl I just made for school.
My roll hasnt been as low as it is right now for a while... It feels weird. Ive been getting my ass kicked the last couple of days too so maybe its alright that I actually have to drop down. I played the .25/.50 for the first time in a while and its still just rediculously soft. I used to smoke this game for like 6BB/100 when I was grinding it so I know Im a winner at this level. I guess Im going to try and get my roll back up to about $500 by then end of the month and take off some more for school. So I guess you could say theres the goal for the month. This should be easily doable with the amount of time Ive got until I go back to school.
If the games are good at the .50/1 then Ill play in them but lately Ive been on a huge downswong at this game so its hard to play my A game when Im getting smoked by idiots. Right now I think my downer is getting to 200BB which is still standard for LHE but it still fucking sucks. I know Im a winner at this level but I think I should take a break from it until I get a nice comfy roll going for it again.
So for now Im going to be owning shit noobs at the .25/.50 6 max LHE. I dont think it will be easy to get to Goldstar at this level because you get so much less points here. I might get a bonus in the VIP store so I can clear the bonus quick and just get the money. Not sure about that just yet. Was planning on doing that when I went to school for that reason but maybe now would be an alright time for it. Dunno.
Right now I think I am on a pretty big tilt.... seriously Im so frustrated lol. Variance is fucking raping me sideways the last few days. I guess thats what I get for being a LHE player. Anyone wanna teach me NLHE 6 max?
Look at these graphs:
This is my .25/.50 6 max LHE graph. Sexy? Yes. For LHE there is so little variance in that graph.
This is my .5/1 6 max LHE graph. Im still up a fair bit in the game but lately its been not fun. Oh well. According to my stats I am still beating this game for 2.79BB/100 so with that being said variance has not been on my side lately.
Tomorrow Im going snowboarding with my buddy to Blue Mountain. It will be nice to not play poker all day. It will help me clear my head. Should be a pretty good time. We have got a fuck load of snow in the past 2 days so conditions should be great. Anyways Im going to smoke a dube and relax.
Damn it is seriously snowing out here. Everything is shut down even the city buses and that never happens. I think were supposed to get about 40cm over the next few days so it doesnt look like Im going to be doing much other then grinding lol.
Yesterday My buddy Brent and I went down to London to take some shit to my new house. I met the girl who lives in the house and unfortunalty shes brutal... not hott at all. She seemed nice tho...? lol. We painted my room while we were there. I decided to paint it sky blue like my room at home. This room was already a pretty light blue so I was hoping it would only need one coat. Sadly after we finished painting the room I decided that it for sure needed another coat. I was planning on going down to do it today but the roads are just fucking brutal and its not worth the drive. I might end up going tomorrow if weather permits just so I can get it over with. I got another buddy coming down so with 3 of us we will be finished painting so quick lol.
Last night the boys and me were sitting around having some beers and watching the leafs get stomped as usual. After the leafs game we still had lots of beers left to finish but nothing to do. My buddy Colin brought up the idea that we should go Taboosening since theres so much snow right now. Its been so long since Ive done this so I thought it would be fun. We all agreed but didnt want to go to some shitty hill in a park or at a school so instead we decided we would sneak onto the local ski hill and go down there lol. When we got to the hill they were making fake snow on the hills even though it was snowing like a bitch out... wtf? So we went to the tube park. This was an amazing Idea lol. The hill was pretty big and was a bitch walking up but it was good excersise I suppose. The sweet thing was that there was a bunch of lanes already put in the hill for the inner tubes to go down on. The lanes were wide enough that we could all go down beside eachother and race down. It was fucking hilarious racing down this hill because we would all try as hard as possible to knock eachother off the GT's to win the race lol. I was tired as shit after about 10 runs because walking up, while drink, smoking cigs and joints does work on you lol. Right when we got back to our car Cops rolled into the area we were GTing in. Talk about good timing lol. It was a blast lol.
I grinded a bit today... tables werent that good but I still managed to get about a 40BB win. Might play a bit later but Ill probably end up blazing in a bit and just chillen out playing some video games lol. Later on tongiht if nothings goin downn Ill probably put in some hands so I can get GoldStar. I only need 751 more points so Ill will most likely be a Goldstar by the end of next week.
Hope everyone has a good day and GL FrinkX at the final table today. Take it down for LP!
Everytime I run really well for a day or two it seems like I have a nice downswing that takes me back to where I was before the upper happend. I ran super hott a couple of days ago and made 200BB. The tables were amazing and I was running amazing too. But like the title says what goes up... must come down. I managed to go on my biggest downswing at this limit so far. I lost about 165 BB in 2.5k hands. I actually think this time I got a bit tilted and spewed alot more... but I mean... the hands were suited right? lol.
Anyways after having that shitty downswing I managed to get back on track this morning and get the graph going up instead of down lol. This morning I probably made around 45BB before my internet hit the shitter. I was laggy like crazy and thats just not something you want when you are playing 7 tables so I had to quit. I was planning on hitting my 5000 FPP point mark today and making some more progress towards getting GoldStar but I cant so that sucks. I only need 1070 VPP points until GoldStar. Im not really sure how many hands that is so if someone could tell me I would really appreciate it. I play .5/1 6 Max LHE.
Today Im going ot head down to London with my buddy and paint my room. Right now my room in London is a light blue which is the same as my house right now. The only problem with it is there are palm trees painted around the windows lol. So Im oging to fix that right up lol. Its probably only going to need one coat b/c I am painting it the same colour that it already is.
18 more days until I move out! WOOOOOO. Anyways I should get going I heard theres a good snowstorm rolling in so I want to try and get to London before it gets bad outside.
Good luck grinding today everyone and GOGO LPers in the 5 Diamond 15k.
Its been a while since Ive been able to go up and see my buddys in St. Catherines. Last year I was up there so much getting er done. This year though Ive been busy working weekends + hockey so I havent had the chance to get up there. Last night they all finished there exams and wanted to get fucked up so I decided to roll up with my 2 other buddies
I rolled over to my buddy Brents at about 5:00. He is one of my buddies who lives in St. Catherines for school now. He decided to come home for the break but wanted to go back up for the night because the rest of the room mates were still up there + all of Brock University would be out getting drunk celebrating that exams are over. Anyways My buddy Steve who in a previous blog post I refered to as "Clarence" because he was a fuck tard the one night when I was trying to wheel this girl who I am actually sort of seeing now came and picked Brent and I around 6. Our buddy Mark was home from British Columbia for a bit so we went and picked him up to come out with us since its been forever since any of us had seen him. We got him and hit the highway to St. Catherines.
Its a pretty shitty drive to St. Catherines. About 1 1/2 hr. drive from where we live so for once I was glad I wasnt driving. On the way I rolled up a nice joint to make the drive a little bit better lol. My buddy Steve was driving and he thinks hes Jeff Gordon when he drives. Just such an agressive driver. I almost got into a huge car accident the one time with him and ever since then I have really hated driving with him. Hes wrote off his last car but still hasnt learned his lesson lol. Anyways the guy did about 150kmh there so we ended up getting there in 50 minutes which is rediculous.
It had been a while since Ive been to there place in St. Catherines. The last time I was there they were jsut moving in still so I havent really seen the house all finished. It was really nice. Probably the nicest house full of students Ive seen. They just got a sick 50 inch tv with surround sound and there kitchen is unreal. We had so much time to get a pre drink on and I took full advantage of it.
We didnt go to the bar until around midnight. By this time I was about 14 beers deep and buzzin hard. We all were. We called up some cabs and went out to this bar called Big Bucks which I had never been to until last night. This bar trys to be all classy and doesnt let you come in if you have a hat on or a rip in your pants. Really though its just your average bar... nothing crazy special about it. Anyways my buddy Mark brought a beer with him in the cab and wasnt finished when we got there. We told him to ditch it but he didnt. The line was fucking rediculous at this bar so we were waiting there and my buddy was drinking a beer. All the sudden I hear this bouncer telling my buddy he had to leave because he had beer with him and that they werent going to let him in. I look back and the bouncer was a buddy of mine who I met when I went to the Dominican with my buddies in the summer. I went over and told him that he was my buddy and the guy let him stay. Not only that but he let us by pass the massive line and head straight in. Sick.
The bar was pumpin. So many brods it was unreal. As soon as I got there I checked in my coat and went on a cunt hunt. So much potential at this bar. I knew it was going to be a good night. Tyler, Steve and I went around talkin up brods but none of them were that great. Then we stumbled across a group of 5 girls who were all pretty decent except the one who was kinda.. "thicker?" I started chattin up the one blonde and before you know it shes grinding my nuts on the dance floor and all my other buddies were working on her friends. We stayed at the bar until about 2am and then I asked this girl if she wanted to come back with me and told her she could bring all her friends too. She was down and so were her friends. I told her I would meet them outside, I just had to run and get my coat. They all went outside and I went over to coat check.
Now I just got my coat that I wore out about 2 weeks ago. Its a really nice coat and I probably spent a bit to much on it but whatever. So I go to the coat check, give the girl my ticket and she brings me the wrong coat. So I said to her "this isnt my coat..." she goes "It has to be this is the number on it" so I said "Well its not so keep looking" She then tells me that I would have to wait around until the bar closed now if I wanted to get my coat. That wasnt going to work because we had a group of brods ready to come back to the place. I was actually really pissed so I told her there was no way I was waiting around because they fucked up when they put my coat away. I told her what it looked like and the dumb bitch finds it thank fuck. She says "Next time dont be so rude" So I said "Next time, dont fuck up... it makes things easier for everyone."
When I got outside apparently these girls came with 2 guys from there residence and now the guys were coming back.... shitty deal but whatever. We get back to the place and there one guy friend instantly passes out on the couch because he was so fucked up. Ty, Steve and I took the girls into one of the rooms and started wheelin. I was workin on a cute blonde, Steve had the other blonde and Ty.... had beer goggles going and had was workin on the "Thick" bitch lolololol.
Now the other dude that came with us was kinda lurking around the room being a fucking cock block. I think he liked the one girl I was workin on and he kept giving me dirty looks. I was kinda getting pissed at him and honestly wanted to slap the shit outta him for a bit but then after talking to these brods for like 15 minutes Steve and me decided that they were actually really fuckin whack. I mean they were talking about the stupidest shit and freaking me out a bit (I dont really remember many of the things they said but I wanted them outta here.) I left the room to go see the rest of the guys and told them we gotta make these bitches bounce because they were crazy. Ty on the other hand was lovin the fat heffer and kept wheeling. He honestly is that guy who will just fuck anything. Some of the brods Ive seen him wheel I wouldnt touch with a 10 foot pole. Whatever though... lower your standards, increase your numbers I guess. I went back into the room to tell these brods to bounce but the cock block was way ahead of me and already had all the girls ready to go. We happily showed them where the door was and they all left. Except the fat one. Ty was going to take down the war pig.
After everyone left me and the boys smoked some dope and called it a night. I ended up sleeping on a couch in the living room. They just got this new cat and in the middle of the night it jumped on me. I ended up sending the thing flying because it scared the shit outta me when it jumped on me lol. It didnt come back after that haha. I woke up today at 11 to the sounds of someone puking. It was Ty lol. He must have rolled over and saw the bitch he poached last night which resulted in him throwing up. Eventually everyone I came with woke up and we all bounced.
All day yesterday the house smelled like dope. I kept saying it but the guys who lived there kept saying they had just blazed. I knew this was bullshit and in the morning Ty was like you Mitch I wanna show you something. We go downstairs to one of the room mates rooms. He wasnt there and had a huge fucking luck on his door that I thought was a bit excessive but when I went downstairs I kinda figured out why he had it. It smelt like some serious weed down there. We go into his room and Ty opens the guys closet. GROW OPERATION! It was honestly the sickest thing lol. They had about 10 plants growing in this guys closet. They were all pretty much ready to pick and had huge buds on them! The set up they had was so sick too. They had the lights in the closet on timers so they dont use a shit load of power with the lights. Such a good idea to make some extra coin. I decided I am for sure doing this at my place when I move. Not sure how much its going to cost though.
Today I am not doing shit because I am kinda hungover still. Prolly going to crash for a bit right now. Hope everyones having a good week.
I started playing .5/1 LHE 6 Max around the last week of November. Being it that today is half way through december I thought I would do a review on how things are going so far.
Judging from my stats I am doing pretty well. You could say I am running pretty hott lately too. Im beating the game from 4BB/100 which is probably not sustainable. However I do think I could for sure beat this level for atleast 2 because some of the games are just so soft its crazy. I do have very good game selction as well so that could be the reason why right now it is so high too. It also looks like I might be cold calling preflop just a bit to much. Its pretty close though but there are for sure some spots sometimes where I jsut want to see the flop when I really shouldnt. I mean there suited right? lol. Easily fixable though
It took me a while there to get used to the swings of a new limit. I was really not to happy with the way things wre going when I went on my -100BB downer there. I did a lot of hand reviews during this time and it seemed like I was just running bad.. not playing bad. -100BB downers in LHE are pretty standard though. I suppose I should be thankful that it was only -100 instead of like 250.
If I didnt make so many withdrawls this month to pay some bills and stuff I would be on pace to move up to the next limit at the end of the month. Unfortunatly now I still need to make around $400 before I can have a very comfortable move to the next limit. I am fine grinding .5/1 for a while longer though.
The worst part is that at the end of the month I am probably going to have to make a huge withdrawl from my bankroll because I will be going to school and I will need some extra money to live off while I try and find a job. I was planning on withdrawing it all except for $250 which would give me 500BB to play .25/.50 but I really dont want to go back down to that game again lol. So Im going to try and make about $300 by then end of the month so I can leave $500 on instead and still be rolled for the game I am playing right now. We will see though...
All in all .5/1 is going really well right now and I hope I can keep owning it for the rest of the month so I can stay at this limit when I move away. Anyways Im gonna go look for some juicy tables and try and make 50BB today before I go out. Im heading up to my buddies place in St. Catherines tonight to get fucked right up and wheel some pusssssyyy. They are all finished exams today so hopefully the bars are just rammed. Wish me luck lol.
