Bad at Poker, Good at everything else.
JonnyCosMo, August 26
Been getting killed in poker since moving into this new place. I swear our internet is cursed. Haven't been playing very well thou so need to fix that. That wasn't the point of this blog thou, I wanted to update and tell everyone that I just beat ElkY in SC2 3 times in a row. I has replays to prove it too!
Ok Ok, and now for epic hands that was played at Palomar a few weeks ago. The game is 20/40 mixed with 5/10 big bet and the rotation of games was Badugi, Triple Draw Deuce to Seven, PLO, and NL Hold'em. Villan in this hand we will refer to from now on as "Pizza Tom". He owns a local pizza shop in San Diego, and has recently picked up poker as a hobby. Note: He has played less than a week of poker before coming in on this particular day.
Hand #1: ($20/$40 Badugi)
First orbit of Badugi and Pizza Tom has never played the game in his life, so we tell him the rules are pretty simple: "You draw 3 times, You want low cards, you want 1 card of every suit, ace is low, and bam you have a badugi!" Pot is 5 way to the first draw, and everyone is drawing atleast 1 card to some that are drawing 3. Oh Badugi is so fun! With one draw left there is about 16 big bets ($640 ish) in the pot with 3 players still left, one being Pizza Tom. Two players draw and Pizza Tom stands pat. First player leads river for $40. Pizza Tom raises to $80, both players fold. Pizza Tom rolls over the and is like "Badugi!" as he scoops massive pot. LOL
Hand #2: ($5/$10 Pot Limit Omaha)
Gordo16 (whos played an extensive amount of PLO / Mixed games, prolly one of the best mixed players in SD) has been the most active on the PLO rounds since he got himself a little stuck. Finally he gets in a heads-up pot with Pizza Tom who once again is still learning the ins and outs of PLO. They get into this one hand on the river the board reads Q-J-7-4-2 with no possible flushes. Pizza Tom has 77XX hand, and Gordo16 has QQXX. Pizza Tom checks river and Gordo pots for $3k. Pizza Tom makes the most ridiculous soul read of a fold after like 10 seconds of thinking!?! Gordo shows him the top set to let him know he was right. This hand sets up the final most epic hand....
Hand #OMG EPIC LOL: ($5/$10 Pot Limit Omaha)
I'll write this hand from Ryan's point of view (Palomar regular who was sitting next to Pizza Tom, and was helping him with the rules to each game. Pizza Tom was showing Ryan is hand each time) Pizza Tom raises UTG to $40, Gordo16 3bets to $150 to try and isolate him. Someone flat calls, and action gets back around to Pizza Tom who repots to like $560. Gordo is sitting deep with him and is already thinking "Oh baby, time to crack aces" as he flats the 4bet. Cold caller folds. When the flop came down , Pizza Tom now leans over and shows Ryan his hand: and asks "Wait so I can only use two cards?" Ryan is like "Yes you can use only 2 of those cards". Pizza Tom proceeds to be like "Oh shit" (as he realizes now that he doesn't have three of a kind 8's) then checks to Gordo. Gordo fires $700 and Pizza Tom doesn't waste too much time before calling. Turn comes so board reads , Pizza Tom checks and Gordo pots it all-in for $2500. Pizza Tom looks back at his hand and again doesn't waste much time before saying "I call, I have a straight" Gordo says "Ug, you must have the AA4X" Pizza Tom then rolls over his 8884 thinking that his lone 4 was making him a straight. Gordo just stares in horror as he rolls over the    to see that Pizza Tom had just a pair of 8's which were good at that point (not to mention the 3 blockers to Gordo's straight draw, and 84 to take away the 7 as a 2pair out lol). River bricks and Pizza Tom ships massive PLO pot with pair of 8's. "That would happen to me" say Gordo after the hand as he proceeds to play every hand in the badugi orbit before tilt leaving.
Moral of the story, don't bluff people who don't know the rules to the game 
Moral of the story #2, play more live pokers

New Place, back on the grind!
JonnyCosMo, August 19
First off, note that I haven't had internet for the past week. I wrote this on my offline time so it's a couple days out dated:
Not even going to get into trying to update my blog more. When playing mostly live pokers, your time spent on the computer drops dramatically. Add that in with the release of Starcraft 2 (which is clearly a mandatory 2-3 hours of wasted time per day), and a little bit of the online poker grind here and there, I basically don't find myself with the time I use to have to update this thing.
Just came off of an awful WSOP. Played the $10/$25 at the Rio for cash games, and ended up getting creamed for ~$30kish over the week I played. Got the chance to play one of the craziest cash games ever with RaSZi where a $10/$25 turned into a $10/25/50/100. Weeeeeeeee! Although I ended up being pretty card dead during that particular session. On another day, I had probably my worst single orbit of live poker ever where I flopped a set 3 times and lost all 3 pots. Lucky for me, none of those pots where over 200bbs. I also played 3 tournaments, one of those $1k shit shows where I lasted about 2 hours then got 2 outted. The $2.5k 6-max where I lasted til 11:30pm before getting knocked out by Jeff Shulman in a sick hand where I river a set and he binks a straight . Finally the Main Event, I played on Day 3 and drew Table 1 Seat 2. Was it a sign? Table 1 Seat 1 happened to be Theo Tran, and our table didn't break all day. We had a pretty soft table for the most part and I ended the 1st day with 77k. Day 2a did not go as smoothly as I wanted, as I was working off of one hour of sleep from the night before for god knows what reason (maybe I was too excited to play or something?). My stack went on the monkey coaster for the majority of the day, swinging between 40k and 180k. Ironically, if I played my good solid tight game I probably would have ended with a pretty variance free 100k. Instead I ended the day with 125k after several hands where I just went bat shit insane and ran good. Going into Day 3 I was pretty well rested and took an adderol to make sure I would stay focused. I drew Annie Duke's table and we had the cameras around the table for the majority of the day. I played just about as good as I wanted to play and built up to 210k in chips at the 1k/2k level. Then I ran TT into JJ for a 70bb pot. The very next hand I flopped the world with AcQx on a Jc-Tc-3c board and bricked vs JT in a 80bb pot. Finally I reshipped my last 18bb's with A9s from the bb vs btn open and btn woke up with JJ so I was out 2 orbits after having a massive stack. That was pretty heart breaking, but the good news is that I might get my 15 seconds of fame as I played some weird hand with Annie Duke and the ESPN cameras were there and took down my name so... crossing my fingers!
In other news, just finished with a year of living in La Jolla (northern San Diego) less than a block away from the beach, and it definitely was an awesome experience. Going into the year, I thought winning money in the online pokers was a myth but I learned (or basically relearned) what it takes to be an online grinder and so hopefully in these upcoming months I will have a winning PTR on atleast one site :-P
I just moved to a condo in the south side of the Hillcrest area of San Diego (between Pacific Beach and Downtown). Yes, it is the "gay-friendly" area. It just so happens that everyone that I've met in our condo building so far has been gay. Make fun of it all you want! We got the biggest condo in the building with a baller ass 270 degree view of San Diego for about half the price as it normally would be just because it's the "gay" area of town. New roommates: GoGators86, A2Steaksauce, Clayton_27. Only downside = when walking around the building or outside in the Hillcrest area with one of my roommates we are probably mistaken as a gay couple. The upsides = We are closer to a lot of the other poker players down here who mostly live downtown. Great location to pretty much everything (10 minutes to the beach, 5 minutes to downtown, 10 minutes to Petco Park, 10 minutes to Qualcomm Stadium, 10 minutes to PB bars, 5 minutes to golf course / driving range). And this...

lol whut?
byrnesam, July 17
Ok heres a quick update on Thailand (theres like a whoooooooole rad back story ill get to later)
The other day me and the Silver_Z went out to some bars. I chill with this bar girl (girl 1) and nothing is really up to shit, i buy her a beer and mock her tattoos but other than that i dont really care about the situation, nothing happens and we leave.
We move on. I end up hooking up with another bar girl (girl 2) - but she doesnt want any money and we went out to Patong to her friends birthday and i got drunk for free, which is exactly how i like it. Ive slept with girl 2 a few times since then and im fairly sure shes a nympho (for real).
Tonight i went to meet girl 2 at her friends bar. She goes to get some food and girl 1 see's me with her and makes a face like "wtfisthisshit.jpg" and i just say hello. Girl 2 wanders off for a moment and girl 1 comes over and starts sorting her hangbag on my leg - which i said was a bit wierd, but i see whats going on.
Then she was all over me, I guess in the process girl 2 saw this and bailed, because despite being whores, if you go with them and then another girl - they get mad, and fail to see any irony in the situation.
Girl 1 says she wants to play me at pool (I had agreed to play 100b/game with another girl at her bar so i thought maybe she wanted to test the waters) and we go to another bar to play and shes fucking ultimate shit tier. I mean she can barely hit the cue-ball. shes very attractive though
Then we head home and she wants 1000 baht to fuck her, and i tell her "lulz no" - im starting to regret this decision, but im sure i can just have a wank instead and be happy with my extra 1k baht.
so in the end, byrnesam gets to come home with sweet fuck all, and i miss out on sex, and i get in trouble AND i didnt even get a good game of pool
R U SRS!?!
fucking whores, how do they work?

Moving to HK
F4Zi, July 16
Well, I passed my first year exams in Investment and Financial Risk Management BSc (except for one that I was sick for and still have to do) and I have a place at HKUST Business School (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) to study the whole of my 2nd year there. It is located on the coast/beach, about 40 min taxi drive from the main city.
So I guess I am moving there in August for about 10 months! Worst thing is I have to share a room with someone else for the whole year. They dont have single rooms on campus for undergraduate students... be a change from 2 floors, 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms... though rent is only $1,400 dollars for the whole year so a saving of $35,000 dollars from my apartment in London!
Have a bunch of friends also going to universities in HK for their 2nd year as well. Im planning to arrive a week early so I can explore the city and take a trip to Macau. It is going to be a great experience and add something to my CV as well.
Havent really played much poker, prob about 40 hours in 4 months. Just been spending really and enjoying myself. Went to NYC last week which was one of the best city trips I have had. Going to Sweden this Sunday for 3 weeks - first week will be spent partying at Visby/Gotland which is supposed to have one of the best afterbeach parties in Europe - after that I'll move around and visit some friends.

PLO etc.
ToT)MidiaN(, July 06
Hello!
Last blog I talked about starting PLO and so far it's been going really well in terms of results. I've quickly moved up from $0.10/$0.25 to $1/$2 so far, winning at a nice winrate, although I've been running super hot at $1/$2 obviously. The game is really complex though and I'm still not very confident in my play despite the results thus far. One reason that I know my game is still very weak is because MiPwnYa keeps owning me and instantly sits in to play me HU whenever I join a new table and he's online, I feel like he may have added me to some buddy list as I've already spewed like $1k to him which is like 5 buyins at $0.50/$1 and 2.5 at $1/$2 despite winning a $1k pot at $1/$2 vs him. ! I'm getting better though and am sure I will continue to do so, hopefully I'm already good enough to beat $1/$2 and can continue learning and building my bankroll back up from there.
Here are stats so far:

Sidenote: One thing I love about PLO is how many VPPs you make, I'm not even close to Supernova and we're halfway through the year but it's definitely possible for me to get there if I'm playing $1/$2 PLO or above, even if I don't play that many hands a month.
On another note, I'm leaving Korea on August 17th. I'm going to be staying in New Jersey for a month, during my stay I'll be hanging out with the gf and her friends, many of whom I've already met when they visited Korea. I'm also going to be taking a trip out to Toronto to meet some nerds that we both know from World of Warcraft. Naturally I'm looking forward to sampling many "bad" (good) American foods, I', expect to put on a lot of weight and potentially have a heart attack, so let's hope I run good and don't die. Just before I leave, on September 8th, I'm gonna celebrate my birthday, so far I don't have any plans on what I'm going to be on that day, but I'm not planning on getting too hungover as I'm going to see Katatonia and Swallow the Sun in New York the following day. A few days after that I'm going to be returning to England "for good", where I'll go back to live with my family. I'm looking to buy a house with my parents and go 50/50 on it, so they've been looking around at houses and they like this one:

Whether we move into this house or some other house I'm planning on making the garage a home gym so I can work out without the need to go to a gym because I'm simply to lazy to travel there each day, particularly since the gym is like 4 miles away and I don't drive. I've tried to get into working out several times in the past but it never really stuck, I've gained a decent bit of weight during my stay in Korea and will obviously gain even more during my stay in the States so I'm remotivated and I feel like with a home gym I'll be way more likely to stick to some kind of schedule since it's no effort at all to just go into the garage and work out. On that note, if anyone has any recommendations as to what I should get, and potentially where I should get it from, I'd appreciate it!
That's all for now, thanks for reading.

Finally..
ToT)MidiaN(, June 06
Hey there, long time no see again! Just over a year ago I tried to make a 50c/$1 6max video for this site, and after a couple of attempts, bad content, tilt and silly plays in the video which I did not really want to show resulted in fail. With that fail, pokertableratings.com reported me as -$150 or so in 800 hands, me being OCD and all, I endeavored to fix that red report and make it green with a winrate of at least 2BB/100, I think any lower than that is a pretty bad winrate particularly for myself and particularly at a stake which is so far below where I used to play regularly. After over 100k hands, months on and off of playing those stupid stakes I've finally attained a winrate of 2.02BB/100 on pokertableratings. I can officially stop playing there now which is a huge relief for me.
I withdrew about $50k late Feb/Early March, leaving myself with just $250 intending to quit playing for a while and just robusto a bankroll whenever I restarted playing. Just 2 days after leaving myself with $250, I went ahead and started playing again, after experiencing some wild swings early on which put me up to 1.2k and then dropping to ~$20, almost bustoing a "bankroll" for the first time in my life in the process, I've managed to work it back up playing a mix of micro stakes. The results culminated in ~$2.5k profit, and attaining the aforementioned 2.02BB/100 winrate on 50c/$1 according to pokertableratings.com.
Here are said stats for those interested:

Another finally is that this is probably the start of my run at PLO. Although I'm gonna be starting at low stakes again, mainly because I don't know the game very well at all, and because I don't have a huge amount of money online anyway, I do expect to move up through the stakes fairly rapidly and improve quickly. I think long term, learning other games is extremely necessary to maximise potential winnings and I should've done this long ago. No doubt, if it wasn't for my OCD tendencies with regards to making my stats look relatively pretty I would've done so, but alas, better late than never.
A huge help, when I get around to it, is that I'm going to attempt to sell my WoW account and never play the game again. I don't regret playing the game, and to be honest I still find it kinda fun, but it's too much of a time sink and I need to focus on poker as I've severely underachieved/underplayed the last 1.5-2 years or so. Hopefully I'll get a few buyins for the account and pad the roll I have left in Stars account a little too.
Goals from here on out are to move up through the PLO ladder, hopefully getting to a point where I can win at PLO400 or so for a reasonable winrate, rebuild my bankroll so I can then play a mix of 400PLO, 600NLHE, 1kNLHE for the rest of the year. Hopefully, without WoW, and without 50c/$1 winrates holding me back, I can get to where I should be again, and sort myself out.
Here's hoping!

Car Voting Again!
milkman, May 04
K LP im once again asking for your opinion on my next car. I REALLY wanna get away from my bmw because its starting to get out dated and i dont have the money to buy the porsche i want... so im thinking about getting a classic..



This is the car im thinking about getting, i would have it lowered about 1 inch and put a different rim/wheel combo on it.. but id prolly stay with the black paint, the one im looking at now is orange but id prolly have it painted.. Also would be doing a headlight modification to make them look/work better but i obv dont have pics of that.. so let me know what you think, i think its a pretty sick looking little classic car, but i wanna know what more ppl think.
So the vote is keep my car.. or get this one..
My car.

I did have a slump in Mars, but it was mostly to show my brother who I'm helping a lot, because he's so happy when he's productive, how sad it can get if you just sit on wow, when he got a job I quit wow, and I've been doing really good in April.
I put in a healty amount of hours on the table, I'm not sure how much though. I don't use a tracker or record, I just try and get several hours a day, sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 10. My mate Erik who pwnz, wanted to stake me, so he did, and I've been running hot, so this month I'm up 14.000e or so, shipped half of it to him as was our deal, and cashed out half of it for myself. And we restarted the stake. (Can do that whenever I want, cash out, and we go at it at 10k, or I can just stop the deal if I want, so pretty sweet deal <3).
I'm also up some on my own playing, I'm not sure how much, because I rarely play on my own cash, but It's around 4,5k e there or so.
I got around going to the gym again in April as well, I go around 3-5 times a week, and I eat siick good.
I try to eat 5-7 meals a day, get plenty of water in between. I do eat some take out, I feel a bit bad, but it's because we're lazy and it's fun.
I've not studied as much poker as I wanted, but I did study the Easy Game book, thoroughly. Notes, re-read, put up notes, and I've read quite a bit in Volume 2 as well, but I'm winning in poker a bit, so then I play more than study.
My dad's been a hero to me for some time, because I've had some rough patches, and he doesn't care, and seem to always be there for me, so I wanted to give him a present to show my appreciation, so I bought him a present.
Me and my sister's husband carrying it out of his car. We had to trick my dad to get him out of the house too lol, so I called his best mate and gave him a mission to get my dad out of the house. So he had called him over, and he showed him his laptop lol(A shitty 4 year old laptop). Then he took him out for some soda, my dad in the aftermath said it felt so weird, like he was in the twillight zone lol.

I heard a lot of good things about it, it's a LED Black Rose HD TV, 55, and we bought lots of accessories too, uhm, like usb adapter, so it works on the internet or something, and some hard disk which we plugged in it's back, loaded it with 500gb of good movies, like everything we could find like, The Dark Knight, Pulp Fiction, Snatch, blabla, anything good and cool, because my dad hasn't watched much of anything when it comes to movies, although he often talks about wanting to watch xD
I also started talking to an old friend, which was rly nice, cus she's a milf and she wants to marry me when she's 30. So I guess that's cool.
All in all, good times <3
Peace
ps, I also helped fix him a pc, u can see it in the background, and gave him my old screen (he just started using facebook and youtube so xD), lucky enough to have gotten a 30' and a 27' myself so. weee
pps, also spent a lot of time with the cat, cats just seem to get me <3

Won the Warmup
F4Zi, April 18
Since starting university in September of last year, I have struggled to balance study and poker. Also, I spent a shitload on living since then that I couldnt keep up with every week. But alas, busto to robusto.
I have exams in 2 weeks and have to get on with the revision so no poker till June unfortunately. Though, I guess I will see you in Vegas for my first time and I need somewhere to stay... feels so good winning.. 100% is mine.

Guess that makes me up more in touranaments now than cash games and my first win on Stars.
I want to say thanks to Steal City and EyeOpe as always.
Also contact me for lessons on HU cash games.. for players wanting to learn/who play 0.25/0.50 to 1/2 and want to improve.
:D

LP Night Out
byrnesam, April 16
Ok
So ive been in Thailand for a couple of weeks now. The other night me and Night2o1 decide to hit the town and degen it up for a bit. He knows the area a bit better than i do, so i follow him.
We arrive at the bar area in Chiang Mai a litle late, most places shut around 1am. We find a place and play a little pool. Bar tender asks if we want a single drink sang-som or if we want a bottle - we choose bottle, which commits us to a night of debauchery.
After we polish off the small bottle we hit a ladyboy bar. We order a couple of pink lady-boys as the first cocktail. I tell Night he should ring the bell and buy everyone a drink. Hes such a fuckin degen he sounds off and all the lady-boys chime up.
We get a couple of long-island iced teas, the girls get whatever they want. They pull the shutter down and put on some music for us.
I was now in an illegal lock in with like 10 lady-boys.
So we out to the next joint. And a bunch of us roll out. This one chick in the white was fucking gorgeous. Next thing i know its me and night and 2 lady-boys in a car driving around to Lady GaGa. Night asks for some weed but they only for X. I decline and Night takes a pill at the club.
We sippin black label and are no longer paying for shit. I assure Night ill keep an eye on him even though i have 0% idea whats going on.
I remember dancing with a slutty lady boy. She let me grab her tits and i felt a little balls in the process. Most of u fucking prudes will be like OMFOMFPOGMOFMG at that, but its standard as shit.
I go outside and theres a chcik, shes nice dark skin, but its fucking day light. I meet a bald guy from europe and ask him repeatedly about life in san quentin, and how many years he did. Apparently none, but he did say he put a guy in a wheelchair. I continued to obsess about his time doing bird.
After dissing this chick that her tattoos looked like theyd been done with a guy with a crayola, she whipped off her heel ready to smash my skull in.
Night said hello to a guy coming down the stairs, he said fuck off. Next thing i know this chick was wielding the heel at the guy on tyhe moped, I was standing up looking hard.
We let that shit go, and reported upstairs for some early morning drinks.
We head down to a bar, and a girl whips off her shorts and heads into the moat as some sort of early songkran celebration. Me and night follow.
Night loses his glasses as he swims around fully clothed LOL
Im not sure what happened next but Night went home and i stayed out. I was throwing water all over the joint with a couple of scottish guys.
At one point the scottish guy threw a bucket of water at a moped and knocked the guy off. I maintain that thsi was fucking funny. Night says it wasnt/.
Anyway, just now i took a fucking tuktuk back to base, but had the option of snorting a line for like $2k baht. I offeredc fuckiung 80 and they werent happy.
Also, i fingered a post-ops pussy, felt ok. She was hot i would fucked her for like 400b. The other chick wanted 1k and she was a fucking mother. I felt bad. Couldnt pull the trigger. Offered eifel tower to @Night but he didnt want 
GLHF
MOTHERFUCKIN THAILAND
