Well, I've not found the place I wanna call home for the next year or two yet, so I'm kinda visiting/staying with my parents til I do. This actually turns out to be a really good short term thing for all parties involved as I need to get my once VERY VERY athletic dad back into a workout groove (and I need it too)
Went to an Astros game which was sweet, at least while I was there. We sat in the dugout section, which is a perfect view as well as about 30 feet from where George Bush Sr and his First Lady sit, right behind the ump and catcher. It's pretty cool seeing the First Lady with her feet propped up enjoyin the game, dunno why, just is. Unfortunately we ended up having to leave in the 8th which sucked but when we left we were winning. Come to find out however, the Astros apparently gave up 7! runs in the top of the ninth and didn't respond at all. wtf.. talk about runnin bad at the last second.
But for me it was a blast and if things get settled and continue to run good by the start of next season there's a good chance I'll buy season tickets.
On another note, before I moved from Florida, I had ordered my third! power adapter for my camera. The first one I had I left in a hotel in Austria. The second adapter I left with my ex as she had the same camera and had lost hers. This one I hope will be the last one I ever buy again for this camera....ever
But the point of this is I can once again take pics. But forewarning, I'm srsly fucking horrible at it. I've even been told quote, "You are the worst picture takerer ever!"
Wanna take bets on the gender of the person I just quoted?
So anyhow, pics shall come! sometimes~
Alright, my beer is finished, and so so am I in this blogging. I was gonna talk poker but I'll just post the graph and brag that way
the gameplan was to pack everything up, leave at midnight and drive 14 hours straight to my muster call looking and feeling totally out of it
so I called the number of the retention NCO in charge given to me on my orders..
SFC w/e his name was hello?
Hi this is #@$% @#$%. I'm calling about my muster orders.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I won't be there for like uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
you wanna just do it Monday?
Sure, but what about my orders, it says it has to be done by the 17th
oh, we'll just stamp it in that we did it that day then
ok works for me
kbye

sooooooo I got to waste some time
While screwin with my sweet azz new laptop after playing some poker, I realized I've never messed with the webcam that it came with -- I don't ever use webcams, but just had a hey why the hell not lets see if it works moment -- ofc w/ Vista it didn't
after figuring out how to get an internal webcam working with vista...I was tinkering with the youcam settings and made a couple short random clips w/ no sound. Here is one of them. Guess I gotta get the mic workin next
for your entertainment if your that bored!
drama here + a muster call + my dad having a semi stroke/heart attack = me moving back to Texas within two weeks and getting my own place
fuck
that'll be 7 times of me moving and resetting up within two years now
w.t.f. !
it may seem like it, but I really don't like doing all this moving shit
I'm staying put this time for a good while gdit I swear.
a year contract at least that I will NOT pay my way out of no matter how good it is
bye bye earnings

cliffnote version of the last week and a half as far as poker is concerned:
-started sucking/hit mean variance on PS that caught me off guard and didn't properly adjust right away
-cashed out remainder except $100 again & took break from PS
-made new database/cleaned up comp/started looking into new desktops
-played elsewhere (not gonna go into detail about other sites except maybe playing live sometimes)
-came back to stars and debated but decided again not to deposit
-started back up and ran good at stars
-changed to a more rockin avatar
Tracker stats:
-all stats u see except the 2nd one is at stars
-didn't like to post my stats since blogging semisrsly but changed my mind for anything below NL100
With everyone posting their end of the month graph yesterday I figured today would be June 1st without looking at the date
Played 5200+ hands today and today was...well I'll just let the graph tell it:
Since starting this rebuild, today has easily been my most up and down day. If I was to knickname today, I'd name it flush over flush day.
I got it in with a lower flush at least 7 times today. Almost made me gun shy. Almost.
Also did something I hadn't done in at least 3 months
Quick update
played 2k hands today @ NL.25
won 4 buyins
BR @ PS now = $539 Biggest won Biggest lost
both standard
oh and encase anyone didn't see my last blog, I'm selling the Bose Ipod sounddock I got from PS the other day.
Gonna put it up on Ebay after this weekend if noone here wants it
Ordered a black Bose sounddock from PokerStars and it came in today.
I had listened to one of these before and was decently impressed with the sound quality for such a small device. My plan was to order one for my bathroom so I could listen to music in there with it instead of my blasting my room stereo. This plan seemed great and it would of been perfect but I obviously didn't think everything completely through as once I got it it donned on me I would either have to have a cord running across my sink all ghetto like or keep it in the corner near the plug where it barely fits (especially with the cord and adapter rolled up behind it) Being in the corner I would also probably get toothpaste and water all over it as well when I brush my teeth and shave etc...no thanks...
So since it doesn't jive very well in my bathroom, there is really no other reason for me to have it, so I'm thinking I'm going to sell it on Ebay while it's brand spankin new.
But before I do that I thought I would offer it to LP for $200 PS or UB money. I'd pay the shipping costs.
Pretty sure thats a real good price as its brand new outta the box for only a few hours and I still have the box, plastic bags, cords, manuals, everything it comes with and am including shipping
so lemme know here or by PM if anyone of you are interested
My first week of rebuild is over. I had planned on blogging more than I did but a few things happened irl and I ran kinda crappy at a few points as well, so my incentive for blogging I admit wasn't high. I do plan on changing this and blogging even if I have a mediocre or really bad day but I don't expect to be a pro at this my first week.
So about 5 days of poker have happened since I last blogged. In this time I've played around 14k hands online. I played three different types/levels of NLHE:
.05/.1 fullring
.05/.1 6max
.1/.25 6max
I don't normally play FR online but after reading the 400 BI prop bet thread, I wanted to try it just because it had been awhile and I wanted to see how I'd do. I don't like it as much and generally steer clear because I feel there is less actual playing involved (online) compared to 6max or heads up.
So I played about 6k hands 15 tabling fullring and I did really well going up about 10 buyins within 4k hands. I then I hit a wall, and for the last 2k hands I didn't win a single pot that was over half a buyin and ended up giving back about 6 buyins before I called it quits.
Fullring chart:
So quitting FR while still ahead, I went back to 6max. From 4 days ago until today I only played about 6k hands and ended up with the exact opposite graph of how the 6k hands in fullring went. I started out immediately down, playing some setup hands and losing 5 buyins. I then also noticed that I had gotten into a little bit of fancy play syndrome but once I realized that I stopped for the day, reset and went back at it and been on a good upswing since. Biggest hand won
So ending yesterday with around $350 in my PS account, I woke today deciding to give NL .25 a try. I only played a little over 1k hands today, and walked away up $87 even w/ a won@sd % of 45.
Hands: Biggest pot lost
This hand is funny to me, because I immediately was going to fold, obviously knowing that I was beat vs him here. I then somehow thought about this hand way to much and talked myself into calling. I'm a POW
Funny that this hand was the biggest pot that I won today. I fully realize that this was a limped pot, and there was 4 of us that saw the flop and so maybe I didn't play it optimally but I was just sure this guy was totally full of it so I felt like calling down was best.
Overall chart:
That about sums up the remainder of my first week of my rebuild. I didn't play any on UB really, just primarily PS, and my BR there right now after one week is currently $440.78
tc and gl all
Today was interesting. First off, I started playing within 5-10 minutes of waking up. Not the wisest of ideas.
Even though I didn't play horrible, I realize looking back that I didn't play even close to my best, and I even got wrapped in chatting with some poor demented bitter kid while I was 10 tabling. wtf??
So ya the first 2k hands I played I ended up down scrounging back to 1 buyin. Once I stopped, took a break, had some breakfast and came back I got into a groove quick and made the buyin back and then some.
It's a real good day when you end up winning AND learn a few things NOT to do next time.
As for the biggest pot won/lost. Both involved 4oaks. Here they are.
Biggest pot lost
*edit* forgot to comment
Villain had been interestingly aggressive vs me a few times previously to this hand coming up. I decided this hand I was going to look him up
Biggest pot won
*edit*
Villain had been minraising me pre out of position constantly. I was going to just get it all in preflop but then realized this was the first time he 5minbet me and I didn't want to shove to get called by better only, whereas if I call here I get action from this guy by worse plenty of times (as this hand shows)
Graph:
BR @ PS now = $260.43
That about sums my poker day up
gl at the tables (unless your in a hand vs me)
