Fuck me to tears! i was just getting finished writing this fucking blog, and i accidentally hit back on my mouse, and it took me to the page before... went forward again and all the text was gone!... fuck here it goes again.. this is going to be a shortened less-indepth version... because i'm tired/lazy.

So Syntax and me just got back from Morongo. Left at about 11ish, got there at 1ish. Decided to play some 1/3 while we waited for the buffet, so i played for about 45 minutes, and came up $126. I'm thinking TIIIGHT great start!

So i go eat this AMAZING buffet!(if you know where morongo is, and ever go there, i STRONGLY suggest you eat there, absolute best food.)Anyways, after the pure euphoric buffet Syntax and i go back to the poker room and decide to play 2/5(he's rolled for it, i'm not). He had to wait about and hour and a half for him to play, so we decided to play 1/3 until a seat opened.

After he left to play 2/5, i was waiting for a seat. I got Dealt AKsuited. I raise to 12 pf, get 2 callers. Flop comes Tspades - Qspades - Jx. the Nuts, sweet!. well BB donks all in, and MP insta-shoves!, i have about 125 behind me(MP had about 300, with BB being short-stacked and having like 50 total). So i snap call with a smile. Turn is a Ax, and River was a 4spades..... BB flips over AK, MP flips over K-9 spades. and i Flipped over my AK.... such a sick setup. I can't be mad at K9 shoving because he flopped a straight and a flush draw... turned the nut-straight, rivered flush. Tight.

umm Lost another buyin somehow, i forgot, probably did something stupid.

Then a 2/5 table opens... and i have like ~200ish... so i joined like a retard.

I doubled up from Cbets/taking down pots on the turn, so i'm at about $400. Then i got dealt Jacks twice in a row, first time hit top set, got about $50, 2nd time i raise pf after people limped, got a caller, flop came T-8-4, i bet like 3/4 pot, he calls. Turn is a 6. I bet 2/3 pot, he calls, which at this point i'm pot commited..., river is another blank, i shove, he thinks for a few seconds and calls. I said "shit you have me beat most likely..." i flip over my JJ and he mucks. wtf? i played that hand sooo badly, and overvalued it soo badly, repping such a strong hand... i made him turn over his cards and he showed 5-6 hearts! how the fuck does he call that river all-in? Anyways, i shouldn't complain, he just doubled me up to around 900(he had a wad of 100's in a rubber-band, and about 500 in chips)

Anyways, hand of the night!

i don't know how much i'm at in this point, i'll just give you the rough estimates on what happened. I got delt AJs on the Button, MP raises, LP calls, i call.

3-way pot. Flop comes A-4-A. MP bets 100, LP raises to around 100, i call, MP calls. wtf?. Turn is a K. MP checks, LP bets 200, I call, MP calls. River is that Magical Jack. MP shoves(LP and i had about 300 more than him at this point), LP calls, and i Shove.

LP thinks about it for about 3 minutes, and shows me AQ. then folds. i congradulated him on a great fold and then took down the ~$1400 pot =]. I never did get to see what MP had though... it has to be like 44 or KK... only thing i can think of that makes sense.. So yea i'm a luckbox at this point, and i realize it, so i did a few more revolutions then got up and played blackjack. Told myself i would only play with 100, if i doubled it, then i'd stop and if i lost it, that was it. Well i lost it.

Then walked around the casino a bit. Then decided to go play more poker. I started playing 1/3 with my friend Jackie. I donked off about 120 doing stupid ass shit. Straddling, doing retarded stuff. Example: 2 times i straddled, 1st time 2 people called, i looked down at J2o and decided that if i raised, theyre hand wasn't good enough to call or else they would have raised(unless they were passive) so i took it down with J2, and showed, to build a shitty image of myself. 2nd time i got dealt 7-2, haha. did the same thing and showed. and then did some pretty reckless stuff after that since 100 didn't seem like that much to me, and i was getting more enjoyment having fun rather than trying to win money.

Anyways, after about 30 minutes, somebody say "Hey thats Jerry Yang playing!" i look over and he's at a 1/3 table playing! wtf? 1/3? lol. So i finally bribed some girl for her seat(i really wanted to stack him... so badly, i gave her $20 for it). 1 hand i saw him involved with i saw him fold top set vs rivered straight(sick fold imo, he had a crazy read on the guy) and then he fucking got up and left to go play 2/5 because a seat opened up!.... so i paid $20 for no reason.. donked around there for a bit, then i decided to play 2/5 again, this time being a little more properly rolled for it.

So a seat opens up at a 2/5 table, and i sit down, and to my right is that Ray Romano looking guy who donated $450 by calling with 65suited.

I sit down and wanted to buy-in for $325, he looks at me and was said "I don't want you to sit here unless you buyin for the full $1500 that you had at the other table". My exact response went something like this "What the fuck? you dumbshit this is a different table and its been over 2 hours since i've last played". His witty ass response(and i kid you not, this is exacly what he said), "well maybe i'm a dumbshit but you have to buyin for that amount". then i told him i didn't have to buy-in for shit and sat down. He called the floorman and complained and got me moved to a different table. The floorman kindly replaced me with some super short-stacked guy with about $70 behind him, hahaha.

At the new table i was running hotter than Jerry Yang and Jamie Gold. I got Aces, then 2 hands later i got Kings, then after Kings i got 9's, then after that i got 7's.(this was all within a 1 1/2 orbits) it was ridiculous. Umm so i had originally bought in for 325ish, and cashed out for 829. sick profit tonight, i feel good, even though i realize most of it was running extremely well.

OH then to top off the night, i was going to leave, and i was telling this cop(who i was playing 1/3 with for about a hour and a half) about that Ray Romano looking guy and he told me to fuck with him before i left. So i took his advice.

hah... Jerry Yang was signing auto-graphs while playing poker, so i went up to Jerry Yang with a little White Card, and asked him if he had his sharpie on him. He left it at the other table so i went and got it, then went to that Ray Romano guy and said, "Can i get your autograph?", he was like, "huh?" and i was like, "your ray romano right? from that show?". lol put him on super monkey tilt. i think the fact that alot of people were laughing added to it to. Then some nasally guy to his left was like "come on man stop being a jerk! he didn't do anything to you!" so i just laughed and left with my $1850 profit

Sorry this was long. Alot happened. Probably more did, but i'm too tired to write any more, and i'll be suprised if half of you read all of it.

p.s. he let me touch his WSOP bracelet. Your not balla until you have one of those.
