Ending the stake
sooon2b, Jul 13 2007
RussB(rnbsalsa) and I decided to end the stake I was on. I ended up making him ~4k, which is pretty good in my opinion. Im glad it ended up working out for both of us.
Now I am looking for another stake. I would like to be able to play mtts $100+, including sunday majors, and the nightly 150s. If anyone is interested, shoot me a pm. You can check my credentials at the pokerdb or officialpokerrankings.com.
My site names are

I am going to be heading to Atlantic City the weekend of the 20th-22nd. My grandmother is a super degen gambler, and is a 7 Star VIP through Harrahs. This is their top tier, for those of you who have no idea what im talking about. Basically, shes a baller. We fly out to AC on a private jet. Get picked up by a limo. We get an Atrium Suite at Harrahs, which is baller obv. We get all food at restaraunts affiliated with Harrahs comp'd. We get free drinks and food in their 7 Star room, including Dom P and the like. Its gonna be amazing. Ill be playing the 2-5 game while I am there, and hopefully go robusto. Wish me luck
lol im back
sooon2b, Jun 21 2007
Yeah, im back. Whatever. I kind of have a job now, lol. Panera Bread FTL. Just having a job because most friends are not home. Need to meet new people, be social, etc. Also, the money and lack of resume gap(or even larger gap) is nice I guess.
Fuck Xavier University. Those moneygrubbing assholes are probably keeping me out of school in the fall semester. I basically owe them xx,xxx amount of money. I made them an offer and they refused it. It was an extremely fair offer, of what I owed, minus $1000(for a few different reasons). Also, my credit report was to be cleaned. They denied me, and looks like this is going to court, and they arent going to get shit now.
Fuck girls. I started talking to this slut. I knew she was a slut. Way boy crazy, etc. Not gf type by any means. Well, shit didnt work out with that, etc. She still wants to be friends, and fuck. I guess thats cool. Everyone says I need to stop putting the pussy on a pedastool. I guess ill try that? Oh yah, I am talking to my ex gf again, the one that ruined my life some 6 months ago. No worries, were not talking like 'that'.
So, I decided to get back into poker. Seeing all of these guys in vegas has really inspired me to go back to my degen ways. Luckily I have had a few offers for stakes. I am currently just being staked by rnbsalsa for cash games(starting at 50NL to get back in the swing of things). Ive made a few hundo so far, ez game. People are pretty retarded at these stakes. I will most likely stay on this stake until I have enough to play 200NL on my own(or maybe just stay on it longer and learn to beat 400-600NL for a decent profit).
I am looking for a large buyin MTT stake. I would like to start playing the nightly 150s, as well as the Sunday majors. I am looking for 25/75 no makeup, or 50/50 with makeup. I will also play any other mtts 55$+ for 40/60 no makeup, or 60/40 with makeup. If you are interested, contact me.

So, over the past 3 months, my bankroll has went from ~17k to ~2k. I lost some of it to tilt at 5/10(down 2k total there, so nothing major). The rest comes from god knows what. I have run like complete shit in all tournaments lately(since the mtt win). Here is a summary of how I run:
First FT after mtt win KK into AK, I lose
2nd, 3rd and 4th FTs AA into AQ, I lose all 3
5th mtt, KJdd on Td9dQx board - yes, I have the nuts. I am 2nd in chips. I get it ai vs chipleader, he has TT, turn 9. I lose.
6th FT AA loses to AQ (notice a trend here)
Then ive FT'd 4 or 5 more mtts lately, suffered tons of 2 outers, etc. Didnt keep trakc because its all pretty standard. Ask mfcmurray, he watches me run bad alwaysl.
Anyways, thats it for mtts
As for cash, well, lets just say I run even better in that. I have dropped most of the money in cash games. Played a little 2/4, but the rest is at 1/2 and .5/1. I basically run infinitely bad, just check the hands I post. I actually dont really post any of the abd beats anymore, but theres quite a few in there to give you a taste of how I run.
For any of you that think maybe I suck? Fuck you, I have had tons of players that are infinitely better than you, say I am a good player. Secondly, fuck all of you retards that suck at poker but seem to be on infinite heaters. I fucking hate you. Thirdly, fuck all you rich fucks that dont even need this money because your mommy and daddy make tons. Yet you still run good, constantly. FUCK YOU. I have my OWN college to pay for, all my own bills, etc. I fucking needed this god damn money.
I am cashing out my last 2k. I am playing off a stake russel offered me for the time being, and may look into other stakes which have been offered. I am going to take some time off, but I am not sure if I will ever return to being a full time player. LOL as I am typing this I just lost 4 of my last 5 tournies I had going to pure bullshit. lovely. Anyways, I will just play off a stake from now on. LOL GG my last one, K9 loses to K9s. YESSSSSSSSS I LOVE POKERS.
Whatever, fuck you all.
I hate easter, and I really hate donkaments.
sooon2b, Apr 09 2007
So, today I did the usual easter thing with my family, which was very lame. My dad, his wife, my little brother and I head over to my grandma's for dinner. My aunt, uncle, and 3 younger cousins also came. Needless to say, I was annoyed within 10 minutes of being there. The food was amazing, but still has me feeling pretty shitty. Overall it sucked pretty hard. Now I am kind of tilted and am going to watch the Sentinel with Michael Douglass and Kiefer Sutherland, oh yah, Eva Longoria is in it too, shiiiiip. Anyways, on to the reason why I am tilted.
I did manage to play a decent amount today. I played about 1200 hands of cash today, and profited ~$500. Still stuck from yesterday, but its a start. Nothing too amazing happened in the games, but ill post some hands anyways. Also, I am getting some coaching because I have been playing really bad lately, and think I still have some leaks that need clearing up. More on that at the end of this post.
This hand was pretty bad. Villain here had shown down a minraise bluff about 20 hands earlier in the session, so I figured this was a pretty good spot for me to outbluff him. Big mistake.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?980183
This is just me being the terrible player that I am. Not quite sure what I was thinking when I raised here, except that villain was really bad. Whatever, I suck
http://www.pokerhand.org/?980187
Another lame hand against the same villain as above. Basically just me playing bad again. Pretty sure check/call is the best play here.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?980191
There were a few other hands I played pretty poorly, but nothing too special to post. Now onto the hands I either played well, or sucked out.
This hand is vs AA-Pete-AA, aka huge racist retard. So much history between us, no way I am ever folding here. I nearly cried when the A of spades hit on the river. Good thing Petey boy sucks balls. I got berated after this hand for not being able to fold AA, lol.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?980192
Lol, thanks donks. No explanation needed here.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?980195
http://www.pokerhand.org/?980196
I missed some value here, I think. I did have a note that he floats flops light, so I figured id check turn to induce some river action. I did, but in this particular spot, I might have been able to stack him, oh wells.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?980200
Oops... Im a donk, and was on tilt still...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?980201
Unfortunately, there were no exciting hands today, and for the most part, I played like complete shit. Good thing I ran decent.

Ok, now why I am tilted and HATE donkaments. So, tonight I get home after easter dinner, and decide I am going to play the 55k 11r, some 15$ donkament, and 2 20$/180 mans. Well, first 180 man I get 3 outered for stacks about 1.5 hrs into it, gg. I bust the 55k 11r fairly early losing to 88 with QQ aipf, gg there too. I end up accumulating a very nice stack in the 15$ mtt, win some flips, get it in with my big hands and they hold. Then it happens. With about 60 left, I have AK, and 3b a LP raiser all in. He calls with AQ and hits the Q. That cripples me and I bust like 59th I think. Oh well. Now onto why I am really tilted.
In my last 180 man, I got very deep, and ended up final tabling, coming in 6/9. I play extremely well, chip up, get it in with the goods and hold, and am CL from 7 players to 4. Then it happens. I start running bad, the donks are running me over, etc. Not a damn thing I could do. I get it in with AK vs 55 and lose there. That takes me to about 15 bbs. A shortstack ends up busting to the super aggro player who now has 4x myself and the other guy. I was 2nd in chips at this point with about 60k, other guy had 42k. I get it in with QQ vs his 88, he wins obviously. That crippled me, and my AT ended up losing to aggrotards K4s and I bust 3rd. Fuck mtts, I really really hate them. Mainly because I run like shit, but whatever.
So, I was talking to ZBThorton the other day, and he basically called me a pussy ass nit. He told me I should look into some coaching to get myself back on track because I have been sucking and playing overly nitty lately. I decided to listen to him because hes a pretty smart guy. I decided I am going to do sessions with 3 different coaches. The 2 I am certain of so far are BalugaWhale, and carrotsnake. I have yet to decide on the third. I want 3 different views on my game, and hopefully between the 3 of them, they will be able to spot the majority of my leaks. I am fairly optimistic.
I was talking with Baluga today, and he seems like a really cool guy. He wants to use an aggressive approach, and have me taking shots at 2/4 once I make ~ 3k, or have about 8k online. I am totally fine with this considering I will have his guidance. I am hoping to start sessions with him tomorrow. Ill post some updates on how the coaching is going in the future.
JonnyCosmo doesnt think I need any coaching, but I figure it cant hurt.
Speaking of Jonny, today we found an absolutely SICK house that we are really going to try to get for vegas. This place is unreal. I am soooooo pumped now. Heres a link to the house
http://www.vacationrentals.com/vacation-rentals/23922.html
Go on, be jealous. I am really looking forward to spending 3 weeks this summer with the likes of Jonny, SeanNolan, and hopefully Derek. I am also really looking forward to meeting all of these people I have been talking with poker about forever. It should be amazing.
I am in a bit of a dilemma as to what I want to do as far as my online set up for vegas. I will probably end up purchasing the Macbook Pro within a month or 2, but I will definately need a monitor for while I am there. I am thinking I will just buy a 24" and try to get one of the guys there to buy it off me when I am done with it. If not, I suppose I could just ship it back home and turn my current 20's sideways for a pretty baller setup. Unfortunately I dont think anyone at my college next year will think thats "baller". I guess we'll see what happens.
Ok, sorry for the insane long post, off to watch my movie. Trip report to come. Until then, peaaaaaaaace
happy easter...not
sooon2b, Apr 07 2007
I got wrecked pretty hard today. It was very exciting seeing the games so juicy, and I really do think the games are starting to get alot better now. However, I got slayed. Nothing really went right, and I played pretty bad as well. I decided to take a shot at some 2/4 FR because the games seemed pretty good and I wanted to switch things up. I played 4 1/2 6m games and 4 2/4 FR games. Heres my stats from today's session.
I dont think I was really on my A game today, but I dont think I played too terrible. There were certainly some questionable plays though. Here are some hands from the session.
This hand was vs JonnyCosmo. I think this was a fairly easy fold. He is never really bluffing here, hes never value betting JJ or TT. He pretty much has QQ or AA here every time. Not sure why I called. I talked to him about the hand after and he said its not that easy of a fold, I really think it is though.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?976689
This hand was against a moron. I didnt have any solid reads yet except that he was floating really light and limp calling a ton. I figured this was a very easy push on the turn, but in retrospect, I think it was an easy fold. I thought his range may be fairly wide, but now I dont think it really is. I though he might be calling with some worse pairs+draws. Shoving the turn just allows better hands to call, and folds out worse hands like fd's or pairs + sd's. I really think checking was best here, especially beings I had position.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?976693
Now for the lame badbeat type hands.
This one was pretty standard, and lame nonetheless
http://www.pokerhand.org/?976709
This guy is clearly braindead
http://www.pokerhand.org/?976713
This is against the moron from a hand above. I think this was an ok fold, maybe not?
http://www.pokerhand.org/?976715
Im a moron, Jonny has me beat here every time. Not sure why I called
http://www.pokerhand.org/?976718
This guy is clearly braindead. I dont know what he was thinking, because he certainly did not have a read. I sort of wish I jammed the river, but didnt have the balls to. Who knows, the way I ran today, he may have called.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?976721
This is the only pot I won over 50bbs today. I thought I was dead on the turn, had no idea what to do. I guess I got lucky? Not really sure. No way I can fold turn though... Guess I hoped hed fold a lower flush or something? Whatever, thank god hes an idiot.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?976730
I am debating whether or not I want to go out tonight. It has been snowing 2 days straight now, the roads are most likely really shitty. I really want to play more tonight, but I am not sure how well I am playing. I guess I will go out. Hopefully kim, cari, emily, and some alcohol will cheer me up. Peaace
going back to college...
sooon2b, Mar 03 2007
Beat : I am going back to school
Brag : 11-1 girl/guy ratio
Variance : Still no idea what I want to major in
I decided to withdraw from all of my classes 1st semester of this year to take care of some personal issues and to also focus more on poker. Well, the whole dropping out thing ended up getting quite depressing after a month. I moved back home shortly after dropping out and breaking off a long-term relationship. Well, unfortunately for me, most of my friends are in school, or had jobs. I found myself sitting on my ass doing nothing all day, every day. Pretty unfullfilling.
Talked to a buddy of mine last night who is also a loser like myself, except his parents just pay for him to be a loser. Anyways, they told him to go to college or they stop spoiling him. Well, he is, and I decided what the hell, why not? I'll be living with him next year, so it should be pretty awesome. Good buddy of mine that goes there is treasurer of the "Drew Carey" frat, and will hopefully get me in there. I am really looking forward to actually doing something with my life, and putting poker on the backburner for awhile.
Being a professional online poker player(or even live) is not really a fullfilling life/lifestyle. Poker is not a career, at best, its an asset for some of us. I am really looking forward to having a career some day.
Peace

I decided not to do the 100k challenge. It would really be a waste of my time when I can certainly beat the 2/4 game. I decided I am just going to wait till I have 50 buyins for each level. So, I will instead just be grinding 1/2 until I hit 20k. Hoping to get to 2/4 before the months over.
Tonight I am going on a date with my grandma. We are going to some party together. Should be awesome because shes the most amazing person ever. After that I am hanging out with my friends. This girl is going to be there that I met last night too. She seems really cool, and shes pretty cute. I hope she likes me or something, thatd be sweet. Would help me get over my ex sooner(rebound ftw).
Today I made about 750 in a 1k hand session at 1/2, which is nice. Good day so far, hopefully a better night.
Peace
