New Update

Well this is what everyone has been waiting on a new freaking update. Sorry about the lack of updates recently and I really do promise not to keep the updates so far apart in the future. I guess I will start off with a little bit of poker. I haven't put in the volume like I am supposed to but up close to like $300 this month. Although, I don't think I can tell that much because I have been wasting some money trying to qualify for the PCA. I want to qualify for a live tournament so bad I can taste it. I think I am going to stop doing the steps and do more of the donakment sats into the bigger sats. For some reason, I keep losing races at key points in the steps and they really do suck. Everytime I stick it in with like JJ vs AQ I think positive and feel like I will win the hand but of course the flop comes out and my hand is no good. Another ridiculous trend is getting two outed on the river which really sux. Oh well I keep telling myself that I am need to get SNGWiz to start doing more studying and stuff and I keep putting it off. I guess I am still a man of excuses but hey I am working on getting better one step at a time. I look forward to studying a lot more and making more money because I feel like I do have an edge in these games.

This past Monday night I had some coworkers over for Monday Night Football where my Denver Broncos were playing the New England Cheatriots. Well that did not go according to plan @ all. I spent all that money on food and liquor for people to come over and watch my team play like a bunch of scrubs. I swear we have the absolute worst defense in the NFL and we might be one of the biggest pretenders as division leaders in the AFC West. It sucks because the Chargers always get hot in the second half of the season and I am really concerned about them oh well. At the party the game ended up getting turned off early and basically it turned into a poker game. So even though my team lost, I still managed to win some money in poker to help me feel a little bit better. I just hate when my team does that to me because I feel like they are a representation of my city and they are doing a pitiful job right now. I would like to send a shout out to KJK for hooking up the order for the chicken platter and potato wedges which was a lot better than the pizza idea.

For the rest of the month I am going to try to put in a lot more volume and bigger sessions because I still wanna see how much I can make this month. I know its not as good to set monetary goals but I just want something to strive for. If I don't reach it but feel like I played well for the month I will be happy. On a positive note I am happy that I have reached my goal of SilverStar for the month and next month I might try go crazy and see if I can reach GoldStar so we will see what happens.

FIFA 2009 for the xbox360 hast to be the most awesome game right now. They made sooooooo many improvements and the game is so much fun. I have fun playing my friends and played a 2+2er on there the other day so that was a lot of fun. I look forward to playing more and getting better whenever TheLipoFund gets his xbox live and FIFA he can come see me and feel the pain as well. The only problem with this is that FIFA has kind of been killing my volume this month because I wanna play that instead of poker but I know that FIFA won't get me paid. My time is precious when I get off of work so I really need to keep my hours of FIFA down and make sure that I focus on playing/studying poker.

As far as life, everything is going alright right now. I swear it seems like my other friends that blog about going through times where they are not motivated to play poker and other things in general. For me, I think it is hard for me to motivate myself to come to work in this cubicle every single day. Don't get me wrong, I know that I am blessed and fortunate to have a job with this state of the economy but I guess I know its not what I want to do for the rest of my life. Sometimes I feel like I am a little bit of a whiny bitch about work and everything but oh well I find ways to keep myself motivated. This is another reason why I play poker because it gives me something to look forward to when I get off of work. There is nothing better than coming off of work and having a ballar session. Speaking of which I feel a heater coming on soon and I am going to be thinking very positive. Once again sorry for the long break in between post and now I realize that I need to post more so that I will not have to write a freaking novel the next time I post. Thanks for keeping me on my toes about the update Vers and Reasons14 good luck to all my readers and I hope your lives are great.

Decent Sunday Volume

I put in a decent amount of volume in on Sunday even though it was not a winning session. I 9-tabled continuously for about 3 hrs and finished down $100 ish. It also did not help that I accidentally signed up for a $25 tournament and a $60 tournament which I was lucky to unregister from. This was all caused by me loading tables and not looking what tab I was under but oh well. I think I should of finished the session up more but I got pwned at final tables. I was shoving very wide on the button to pick up some chips because I was short at the final tables. I think I got knocked out of like 3-4 final tables in like 5 mins. Its never good when your shoves run into KK, 99, and another hand I don't remember oh well.

However I just noticed one of my major leaks are. It seems like I am leading out too much with my top pair weak kicker in multi way pots and it seemed like I was always getting raised yesterday. I think I am going to change my line up and just check-call one street instead of leading out and getting raised and then folding which sux. Oh well hopefully I can do well this month and I look forward to earning a lot of GUAC!

September Results October Goals

Well I bossed up last night and finally finished up the month. I completed my goal of being a SilverStar for another month but financially didn't meet my goals. When I looked at PT before I went to work this morning it said that I made around $630. I was running alright in my $6.50's with around a 27% ROI but ran absolutely terrible in the $12's, small sample size like 22 and like a -90% ROI or something like that. Not to mention that I haven't had a cash in a big donkament since I won over $200 in a $2 tournament a while ago. I am just hoping that I will get a big score in a donkament one of these days and I know it will feel so rewarding. Besides that I really can't complain about the month and my results. I mean whenever you are making money it should be a good month.

As for October, I am going to be mixing in $12's while playing the $6.50's. I think with my bankroll at $2,246 it should be enough to play off of. If I run real bad and get down to like $1500 I will go ahead and move back down and try to grind it back up. I really hope that I run good in the $12's because I feel like I am a good enough player to play at those stakes and be successful. This month I am going to try to do more studying especially with regards ICM in 45 man tournaments so I might have to boss up and pay for SNGPT. I have SNGWiz now but it is acting kind of screwy so hopefully I will be able to keep using that. When I get home I will go ahead and post some graphs etc for the month. But as of concrete goal I want to play 600 tournaments and will shoot for a 1k month again. This should be fairly easy especially if I run well in the $12's. I also want to make SilverStar again this month so that is another goal. However, I tam thinking about buying a 24" monitor so I can start putting more volume in. Well thats all I got for now.

SilverStar

Of course as you guys probably know I am not SilverStar status yet on pokerstar but will easily get there when I get off of work today. I only need 23 vpp to get there and I didn't feel like grinding it out yesterday I was kind of sleepy. Yesterday after work I just watched Monday Night Football and after that played like a total of 12 games. I was going to keep loading tournaments but I was feeling sleepy so that is that. Besides that life is good and looking forward to posting graphs for my monthly results this month. I would also like to thank vers out for being so helpful to me and extending some resources to me.

Thanks,

Recent Life

Well I am sitting at my desk not too happy about a lot of things so I felt compelled to right about them. First of all I want to talk about the news that the Jacksonville Jags player Richard Collier got shot 14 times, go one leg amputated, and is paralyzed from the waist down. Needless to say that his NFL career is over I get so sick of hearing this stuff in the black community. A guy has a little money from playing in the NFL and now turns into a target so sad. All he was doing was trying to talk to some females after the club and then his car got lit up by bullets. My heart and prayer goes out to his family and his continual recovery. Now the next thing that is on my mind is the great ole USA. WTF are these clowns doing that we heave elected into office. We are in one of the biggest financial crisis's ever and people are more worried about politics. WTF you mean that you are not gonna vote for the bailout because you are worried about being elected. Hey here is a smart idea how about we do absolutely nothing and see what happens to the economy. I am not too happy that we have to bail these clowns out but I admit that it is so necessary. If we don't bail these companies out there is no telling wtf is going to happen to this economy. I mean I wish I can get my money back when going All in foolishly, like this past Thursday sigh, but that is not how the world works. As far as poker, I didn't play that much at all this weekend and need to put some volume in on Mon and Tue to assure myself SilverStar status for two months in a row. I made a little over $600 this month which is not too shabby but I need to finish off strong and get this promotion. On another note due to my terrible decision on Thursday where I went all in w/AA very deep on a low flop, knowing this clown flopped a set, I will be out of the casino until Oct 16 when I get paid two more times. Hopefully the next couple of weeks I can just focus on putting in volume on stars even though I know the live games are filled with donkeys. Oh well thats all I have now and I can't wait until another hour where I can go home and get the HELL out of the cubicle.

Live Poker + Man Of Excuses

Well, I haven't really updated my blog because I have been playing live poker at the Muckleshoot Casino. I was playing some $1/2 spread limit which is the equivalent to No Limit but now I am playing $3/5 spread. I feel like I have an edge on these games and definitely feel like they are very profitable and will help me in general in my poker game. I was donking off money on the $1/$2 after losing the biggest pot of my life. I had called a raise with KQ flopped the nuts and got my money in with four other people with the best hand at the time. Another, guy had a straight like me, one guy had a set of J and another guy I dunno wtf he had. Well, the T ball hit on the river filling the guy with the set up and I felt like such a scrub. After that I pulled out more money which was a no no because I played like dog ass because I was so on tilt oh well. I went back the next day and won money back and then some so its not that bad. I need to get in the habit of not going on tilt after taking a beat like that live. I am usually good about it online because I am seeing so many hands but live I am really working on it. After losing a big pot from now on I am gonna just take a couple of deep breaths clear my mind and let it go maybe even take like a 5min break. I am going to try to go the casino at least 2-3x a week while still trying to keep the same volume that I am playing online. Now that I typed this I probably will only go 2x a week so that I can maintain my online volume. In terms of playing online, I am doing alright this month I have made in between $400-$500 this month running at around 25-30% ROI which is what sharkscope is telling me right now.

On another note, I was absolutely getting flamed by one of my friends and she told me that I am a man of excuses. Well the sad part about it is that I think she is right. This is definitely a growing trend that I need to fix. I am real quick to say I will do x, y, and z but when I do x and z but not y I will come up with some excuse of why I didn't do it. Well the days of that are over and I am trying to do something about it. I am 24 years old now and need to start growing up I guess. To do this I think that I need to establish a schedule. Sigh, I am so against schedules and like to go with the flow but the truth is, I think that it is hurting me and definitely become -ev. I need some structure in my day to not only help me maximize my day, but to know how much time I have to work with doing the day. So I need to sit down tonight and figure out something. I know I want to workout at least 3-4x a week which is also +ev. Right now I weigh 212 and I really wanna get my weight down to under 200 probably around 185-190. I mean I have always been on the bigger side because I played offensive line so I was upwards to like 250 in high school. But, I just want a change for myself.

Anyways thats all I have on this post look forwards to more updates in the future.

Poker, Football, and FIFA 09

Poker was going good until last night. I decided to take a shot and mix in some $11+1 and ran like absolute crap on all of them. It seemed like I was doing alright at the $6.50's and was getting crushed in the $12's. It also didn't help that I was checking to see what lobby I busted out from to load up the right tournament. Oh well next time I won't do this and just run a session with just $12's. My plan now is to grind back up till I get a little bit above 2k in the roll and then take the shot again. I guess you can't run as smooth as butter when you move up all the time.

Words cannot explain how excited I am about the football season starting. It seems like I was just waiting and waiting and now it is finally here. The Broncos did not let me down on Monday night and kicked the living dog piss out of the Jokeland Raiders. It was also comforting to see how well our passing game looked without our number one receiver Brandon Marshall. Eddie Royal looked really good and I am looking forward to seeing how dangerous our offense is this year. However I thought the game was a little misleading and still want to see improvement in special teams and the run game. I am very excited for the Broncos vs. Chargers game this season because we owe that punk Phillip Rivers a little payback.

This morning I left my xbox 360 on and when I go home I get to play FIFA '09 demo. Even though the demo is only 2x2 halves, which actually sucks balls, I am waiting to see how much they improved on the game from '08. I am pretty sure I won't be disappointed and can't wait to get home to play it which happens in about a half hour.
