I'm Barely Back!!!

hello there everyone,

sorry I took so long. I have decided to just hang out for a little while and not play poker. I've been so busy with watching baseball and now my grandma dying recently that i've decided to take a few months off of poker altogether. I tried only playing once a week or once every two weeks but that did not even work. So now i'm just going to relax, take a deep breath, and now just enjoy my life without the stress. I will put this on hold probably a little while longer. Hope to catch all of you later. take care!!

Update! Update!!

I have officially reached my 300th dollar playing online poker. it took a couple weeks due to all the bad beats but it finally occurred. Even though my pocket aces got cracked several times along the way, including tonight, i still managed to get there. there will be plenty of dollars left coming my way as well. I am finally going to get my just desserts let me tell you. Tonight though I was on fire. I came home exhausted from window shopping at Ikea furniture store and I managed to do really well in my first tournament of the day and night. I finally got down to the last twenty something people and I had the best starting hand of them all, Pocket Aces. But what happened?? just my luck, i call someone's all in and then the third guy in the hand takes a few minutes to think about it and then eventually calls me. What did he call me with you ask?? You'll never guess, Queen Jack suited of diamonds is the answer. Yes I know pretty brutal right? long story short, he turns a fourth diamond and then i'm crippled. I fought back alright but it just wasn't enough. Oh well, that's poker right? Or so they say vividly. Til next time. See ya at the Felt!!

Bad Bad Bad!!

Man oh man! Hello there readers, I've had such a bad week card playing wise. Let me tell you why. I suddenly, out of nowhere, started getting all my chips in the middle with a winning hand, and then out of nowhere the turn or river will cause my hand to cheapen and give them the win. It makes no sense to me. My classic remembrance of this was the other night I had 10-7 suited. Not a really good hand preflop, but I love playing hands like that because when they're suited they go up in value so I decide to give them a try every time. Anyway, I flop three of a kind sevens, so I decide to slowplay it knowing I have the best hand. (or so I thought) The two guys I am facing bet out and call one another but then I raise them and as soon as I did that I lost one of them. Still thinking I have the best hand I wait for the turn card and then bet real high. When he called me I figured something was up. The river card comes, I push him all in, he calls me and he flips over a full boat that he had made on the flop. I couldn't believe it and he had crippled me. That was unreal! I was thinking to myself "how do things like that happen"? When I figured it couldn't get any worse, my pocket aces lose to a made flush on the turn card a couple hands later. Just goes to show you that right when you think something great happens to you, someone else has something even greater happening to them. Don't take your poker starting hands for granted, just pay attention to the action around you and go with your gut instinct. In my case I was wrong but you should pay to see no matter what just so that you don't go to bed that night thinking you were had by a good con man. Til next time. See you at the felt!!!

Delay!!

Sorry about not being around in a long time. I had some family issues. Still played cards everyday though. Still was on the computer almost every minute of the day. Took a few hours off during the day for myself and to spend time with family of course but overall I still played roughly the same amount of hours daily. I now start at 3:30 in the PM because that is when the big money tournaments start in the afternoon and plus I don't really like getting up early and playing right after I wake up because I can't fully concentrate that way. I have some good news, I officially won my 200th dollar playing online poker yesterday. Yes, thats' right, my 200th dollar. It only took me 49 days (which is 7 weeks) to do it. Not bad considering my other ventures as well. (I had two online accounts going). I am pretty proud of myself for that one. I really am. I will continue to play online poker. My buddy went to Tahoe with his girlfriend recently to visit her father and he told me when he got back how beautiful it was. I told him I might go in November for that WSOP Circuit Event they have going on at Harvey's casino. I hope I do well, would love a pile of cash and some respect in this world that's for sure. Oh, I am going to start double blogging soon. On Sundays from now on I'm going to double blog about poker instead of just one. Doing it to maximize my hits on my website. Let's see if it works. Got to go play a tournament now. Til next time!! See you at the felt!!

Crazy Happenings!!

hello there, hope my readers last few days have been as fun as mine. I'm not only increasing my bankroll everyday that passes but I'm also earning money and recieving very nice checks that have been arriving in my mailbox as of late. Nothing better than getting paid for your talent huh? I just opened up an account at Pokerstars.com. I just realized through some research of my own, that Pokerstars.com is the real money version of Pokerstars and that Pokerstars.net (the one heavily advertised on television) is the one that is the play money website. I always though Pokerstars.net was the only one but I guess I was wrong. I knew they were the top sites for real money accounts but I never could find the Cashier button and now I know why, because I wasn't using Pokerstar.com. Amazing how things work out in life huh? anywho, I'm probably going to play a whole heck lot of tournaments today, and flirt with random women which I love to do. Oh brother, nothing better in life right now. Til next time.....See you at the felt!!

Yay and Nay!!!

Sorry about not getting back to you the last couple nights. I've been forgetting, plus I was rather exhausted last night, mentally exhausted that is. I played in a million tournaments the last few days combined and I had some successes and some failures. I was very excited because two mornings ago I won a tournament. I ran into the kitchen and gave my mom the hugest hug ever after it occurred. The very next morning I made another final table and came in second only in the winner take all tournament. That's okay though, I still gave my opponent a run for his you know what. Bad beats, turns and rivers not cooperating with me, and everything could have been different. I'm good enough to win every tournament I enter because I have the skills necessary, but it doesnt happen because you can't help how the cards fall that's for sure. I went to Amazon earlier today and I am probably going to buy a few poker books. I already have mastered no limit hold'em, so I think I will try my hand at Triple Draw Lowball, Razz, and Omaha 8 or Better. Those three games I don't know very well. I tried to teach myself once upon a blue moon but that just never happened the right way. Anywho, got to go! Another tourney about to start. Til next time! See you at the felt!!

Avenged! Avenged!!

I feel like I have avenged myself lately because I have totally done what I knew I could do today. I played well back to back days. The last two days I have played very very well and I feel glamorous right now. I really feel well. I am ecstatic and fearless. I could go for a skinny dip in the nearby lake and just scream until my throat goes dry. That is how glamorous I am feeling right about now. A second place finish late last night and a third place finish tonight. I feel excellent. Keep in mind there were hundreds of people in these tournaments, so it wasn't like a little sit n' go we're dealing with here. It was the real online experience. He He. I think everyday I play more and more I'm just going to get better. I have already built up a reputation in Club Bluff which is where I play, and they don't want to face me at the final table because I'm considered very dangerous. I love having a reputation like that, makes you feel important in life. So I feel as though I have avenged my bad play within the last week and the last two nights have been excellent. Just wanted to share with you that. There will be another installment tomorrow night. Til then, See you at the Felt!!!

Ohh Laaa Laaaa!!!!!!

Another day of poker, another day of success. Moreso this time around. Entered into 14 online tournaments today and made 3 final tables. So that means about a quarter of the time I was doing well. Seems pretty good to me, I'll take it! I almost made 5 final tables, but you know how it goes.....you go in with the best hand, then you end up drowning on the river. I had to be revived at least twice today it was that brutal. But that's just how it goes, I mean you win some and you lose some. I told my mom how good I was and she believed me right away. My dad also told me that he thinks I'm one of the best players out there. All I need is the right platform and I'm there. I'm trying to get sponsored but it's not that easy. Hopefully someone will read my ad that I put out and will come and see me play sometime and see just how Doyle Brunson-esque I can be. He He. Anyway, hopefully something happens real soon. If not, then that's always okay because I have a lot of years left to live and a ton of mileage left in these tires of mine. Read my next blog, it will be pretty interesting.....til next time. See you at the felt!!

Trick or Treat On the Turn

Howdy there my poker savants. This has been a day full of bad beats so far. Well, in reality, there has just been one, since the first one was a trick job used against me. My opponent used my own slickiness against me wouldn't you know it? Not only has the river card scammed me this week, but the flop has been rather horrid I shall say. You think you have a good hand, but the whole time you just have the screws that hold the "nuts" in place. Meaning that the nut hand is what they have, but I would happen to have the second best the whole time. That's just how the cards fall this week, but there is still a lot of week to come. "The true sign of a good player is one who knows to fold a monster hand" That is one of my favorite quotes uttered by Texas Dolly himself and one of my idols Doyle Brunson. It is probably the truest thing that has to do with poker too. And I have been learning every second of every day the longer I play. By the way, I am going to write a book one day and i'm going to title it "Trick or Treat on the Turn" I am naming it after all the bad beats I have had once the turn card has fallen. Well that's it for today, I have plenty more tourneys to play and one is about to start. Another installment is tomorrow. See you at the felt!!
