Bored of having a bad day at the tables went to find poker videos at YouTube and ran into this one.
I've never seen something that stupid before LOL. With all their fake acting at the beginning and the "OMG I CANT BELIEVE IT!" at the end of the video hahaha It seriously made my day :D
AMAZING Poker Heads-Up...Royal Flush vs. Quads!!!!!
Wow, I just cant believe how unlucky I'm getting today. Everything goes the wrong way
Started my session at Titan with $600 in my BR. And everything seemed ok. But then got involved into really nasty hands.
In one of them I had A6s (in Mid pos) vs KK (BB).
I limp in with 20c with my stack of $37. He raised 60c to 80c with a stack of $21. I called. Headsup.
Pot: $1.80. Flop comes 6-6-T in a rainbow. He betted $1.20. I called.
Turn: was a meaningless 7. He bet $4 in the $4.20 pot. I knew that it was the moment to push since I put him on big PP (and I was right) and raised $16 to $20 to put him all-in. He called.
River: K... Fullhouse in the river OMG! -$21
In the other hand I had AKo vs QJo. Raised to 80c in the button and BB called.
-Flop: Q-J-T with 2 clubs. He checked. I bet $1.40. He called.
-Turn was a blank. My straight was still the nuts. He checked again. I bet $3.60 in the $4.60 pot. He called.
-River was a J of clubs... What do I beat now? Nothing... The board is paired and If he was on a flush draw he got it... He checked his fullhouse and I checked it too.
This wasn't a bad result for me considering I didn't have to call the river but still, my luck isn't good today
In another hand, I had AA with $25 in the table in the CO. Button holded 99 with $24. 2players limped and I raised to $1.20. Button reraised me to $4.80. I obviously pushed all-in and he called.
Flop: 9-8-8
Turn: Q
River: K
$24 allin preflop with 99... omg T_T -$24
-While Pokerstars loves to set up big pocket pairs (AAvsKK, KKvsQQ), Titan does the same with flushes. I lost $6 in a hand where I completed my flush on the river and raised 1 guy from $1 to $5. Then player next to me pushed allin with $25... I knew I was beated so I folded... Could escape from there but still was a lose.
-I once got involved in a hand where me, and 2 other players made a flush. Lucky me I had the Ace high flush, other player had a King high flush and the unluckiest one holded a Ten high flush. Won like a $60 pot there. Was like 2days ago.
I can't complaint from having a bad day. Its actually the first one I have got ever sinced Im playing at Titan and I knew it was going to come sooner or later... but sure it sux to be in this situation
Overall my BR from $600 to -$530. -3.5buyins.
Gonna take a break now and give it a shot again later. Hope I can get my luck back by then.
EDIT: All this happened in less than an hour, not in a WHOLE day. I woke up at around 10:30am and posted this at 12pm (Mexico city's time). Now its 4:45PM here. Day is not over if I didn't make myself clear.
Things at Titan keep going well. In the first half of the day, I started my 6-table session with a roll of $502. Ended the session at $613. Went to eat and do other stuff not related with Poker.
A few hours later, started my 2nd session of the day but it didn't go well. Went on a downswing and I stopped it at $550-560. Needed another break cause I was making huge mistakes and I joined the $3+R at Titan.
I don't remember how many rebuys I took, prob 3-4 + the Add-on. My BR at the end of the R/A period was at 541.62. I made the Final Table and finished in 5th for $55.44 . This is my 2nd Final Table at Titan so far.
Thanks to the FT price, the downswing didn't hit me so bad. Today the total amount of money won is: $95.06 and my BR is now at $597.06.
Road to the GOLD
PokerStars is fun!
Today I played $0.50 and $0.25 tourneys there and I had a lot of fun. The game wasn't to beat my opponent's hand, but to know and try to guess how I was going to lose the hand! Like for example in the following hand, I was expecting to lose to running hearts, but I missed and instead of that lost to a straight. Booo

June 5th is over. A great day for me in poker terms. Felt like playing really good the whole day and now I'm playing at NL20. Took naranjitO's advice and hit the NL20 tables with a $400 BR (20buyins) and it was the same as playing at NL10...
Won 5buyins in my 2nd session of the day and my BR is now at $502.
Started the day at $313 and finished with a $502 bankroll. So as for today I won in total: $189 .
I didn't have much time to play cash games at Titan last weekend. I was expecting to be playing at NL20 yesterday but because of lack of time, I couldn't achieved that. Played tournaments at Stars and Titan but didn't do good at any of them. So today I started with my sessions again.
Felt like playing my A game
My BR this morning was at $313 and after a very nice 2hour session where I felt I was playing really good, I ended up winning $75.19 . My BR is now at $388.19.
Silver status secured. Next stop: Gold
I have reached the needed points to retain my Silver status. Now I'm aiming to Gold. I think I can make it.
So we gathered last night at a friends house to play some poker. We were just 5, not 10 like last time cause some of them are out on vacations. It was pretty easy. I took it down in like 1:30hours(90mins).
50chips to each player and blinds at 1/2.
I was the BB and got dealt K-5o. In a family pot the flop was K-5-9. Turn was a Q and River another K.
I took away from a friend like 25chips (half his stack) with my fullhouse against his K-4.
Later on I took another 25 chips from a girl friend when she didn't want to lay down his pocket fives (5-5) against my K-6o in a K-2-2-2-3 board.
2hands later, I had Q-9o in the SB and limped in. 3players in the hand. Flop was Q-Q-T. Flop was checked around. Turn: T. Checked again. River: A. I put 6chips in the pot on the river and BB called. The other player pushed allin with 25chips. I called and BB fold. My other friend wasn't expecting to get a call and thought I was bluffing but nope, I have a fullhouse buddy and gg his chips, he bluffed the pot in the wrong time.
3 friends went out soon and headsup started. With me having over 2:1 advantage in chips with 175 vs 75 aprox. Slowplayed trip nines in a hand and he thought I was bluffing and took away from my friend like 35chips.
A few hands later, with blinds at 4/8, he moved allin with K5o and I had A9o. Board T-T-6-A-K. GG. Had a lot of fun even though it didn't last too much.
Today I had another good session. Started the day with $252.25 and ended at $331.12. $78.87 in a day! :D
I'll probably hit the tables a little bit later, don't know yet, but if I do, I'll just make a BR Update at the very very end.
Aiming to Gold status
The first day just ended and I have achieved the %64.21 of the titan points I need to mantain my Silver status. So I have 29days to achieve 7684.32 points... I think I can make it. Making it to Gold would be great.
Soon to be in NL20
I want to reach a $500 bankroll to hit the NL20 tables. I gave it a shot yesterday and ended up $30 but still, I need a higher bankroll in case I get stacked. I expect to be in NL20 by Monday.
So I was supposed to be granted Silver status at the beginning of this month, server time, and didn't get it yet. I talked with Online Support and they said that they needed between 24-48hours to do that. LOL! Its funny, because they will take 1-2 days in giving me the Silver status, but if I don't get the needed titan points to stay as Silver in this month, I'm sure they'll remove my status in less than 2minutes...
Waiting sux...
Today I didn't win as much as I was winning in the last 2 days cause I had some badbeats but still, ended with a positive record (+2.5buyins) and that's all that matters.
Oh yeah, guess what, yep, you're right, I didn't win anything at PokerStars today! lolol
Played 2 tourneys. In the $2.20 [6max] I went busto after my JT lost to a guy who was drawing and ended up getting his flush. I laughed because I had 3000chips, and went down to 1900 because of 3 busted flush draws, and yeah, I lost to one! :D
Showdown o_omx : shows (two pair, Kings and Threes)

my gosh ... 1 more of these and im full quiting that stupid site
I played a lot of hands today at Titan. It was a good session overall.
I ended my session yesterday at $145.81 but after I updated my blog, I went to play some more hands and lost $10 so I officially end the day at $135 aprox with around 1550 titan points.
All day long I was rounding between $190 and $210.
I had some badbeats but its ok, they were just like 2 or 3. Not like in Pokerstars where my whole session is a fucking badbeat -_-
In one of them I had my full buyin $10 and some guy sat down with $17 next to me (because he had been playing at the table before) and he autoposted the BB. I got dealt AK and raised to $0.60. He called. Flop was K-2-2. I bet $1, he raised to $3. I shoved that reraise for my whole stack and he called. Turn was a Q. River was a 4. He showed a freaking K4 LMAO!. GG $10.
The other one I remember was from a guy with $6 and I had him covered. I was at the button and he at the BB. I had KK and he 77. I raised to $0.40. He minraised me to $0.70. I reraised to $2.10. He called. Flop was Q-3-4. He immediatly went all-in on the flop for the rest of his stack ($3.90). I called. 7 hit the turn and gg. He showed a three of a kind sevens... luckbox T_T
So I ended my session as soon as I hit the 2000 titan points. I won aprox. $55 today and I've been running good at Titan these days. Im gonna stay there at NL10 for a while until I have a proper BR to move to NL20.
Played some tourneys at Pokerstars but didn't win shit as usual. My AK's got cracked by AJ's and my KQs by KTs... pretty ridiculous, I didnt even bother to submit the hands...
