PokerStars is a bitch... a very very cruel bitch to me. I just can't win crap there so I went to Titan Poker to try to grind a little bit more my $50 free promo.

Started the session with $101 and made $45 in 1 hour.



I want to reach 2000 titan points so I can improve my status to Silver so I'm gonna be playing there a lot till the end of the month to achieve that.

Now Im gonna take off to watch 2:30hours of TV: Two and a half men 1st, then Smallville and closing the night with Supernatural.

PokerStars is a bitch I swear ;D

So I just bought my new Adidas football soccer shoes today. They are the shit. They cost me around $100 but are totally worth it. Looking forward to next saturday's game in which I got to score at least 3 goals, considering I scored two goals this weekend with my old and now newbie soccer shoes ;D
(double click on the pics to see them in full size )




Poker session was good today. Although I had a couple of badbeats and sick sets vs oversets, I had good results.

Today I stopped being a BronzeStar and improved my PokerStars status to SilverStar:



My goal for this upcoming month is to stay as a SilverStar and depending on how I do on June, I may set my goal for July to improve to GoldStar.

Tournament tips thanks to nusthot2

In the past 2 days I've been railing nutshot2 in his PS tournaments (in which he has achieved at least 3 Final Tables) and have learned a lot of important things that can help my tournament play. I've also known and practice the importance of raising preflop. Even if you don't have a hand, but you raise preflop, and If you bet the flop and your opponent didn't flop anything, even when you have aboslutely crap, they will fold. Sometimes things don't go well thanks to pokerstars, like in this hand:

I woke up a little bit late and did nothing but watch the previews and the final of the Uefa Champions League between noob Liverpool and the best team eva AC Milan

AC Milan obviously raped those luckers from the Premier League that play horrible, all the british teams play horrible...

2-1 Final Score for the Rossoneri Team

Heres a pic of me wearing proudly the rossoneri colors... (Im the one on the picture even though my face does not appear)


Played at the $2.50 tourney today and finished in 40th place for the sucky amount of $10 ;/ Now I'll see if I can luckbox my way to the final table in the $3 triple shootout turbo.

FORZA ROSSONERI!

Today I had a long session with pathetic $ results. I did learn some things though.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 3004 hands and saw flop:
- 237 out of 382 times while in big blind (62%)
- 94 out of 393 times while in small blind (23%)
- 331 out of 2229 times in other positions (14%)
- a total of 662 out of 3004 (22%)
Pots won at showdown - 78 of 129 (60%)
Pots won without showdown - 142

I was about to reach the 3000 hands when I got dealt AA and stacked two guys that made my session end with a +$1.50 after 3000 hands lol.

Badbeats:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198234 - Biggest badbeat of my day. Flopped the nuts with a possibility to improve it into a straightflush. Turn improved my straight to a flush. River made me wanna puke.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198224 - KK vs AK... 3outs ftw!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198209 - TPTK with a flush draw. Flush never came and lost with AK vs KT...

Winning hands

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/198196 - We both flopped a flush, but mine was higher. I stacked that asshole and im proud of it.

And thats pretty much about it... I stacked some guys but just because they wanted to give his money away. Some of them didn't even had a hand...

So I won $1.50 today and learn a lot of things in this 3k hand session... still, I have TONS more things to learn... patience is all I need...

So today I went to play soccer and I could barely walk after it. I was very tired from it and as soon as I got home I started a poker session (not a good idea). I didnt play too many hands and just lost 1buyin. I made a lot of mistakes and lost a lot of small pots.

**Big pots for me:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196204 - flopped the nuts with A2s and some donk lost his head and doubled me up with crap :D

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196196 - Guy flopped trips and I got a straight in the turn. He doubled me up in an unraised pot.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196189 - Idiot try to bluff me when I had the fullboat completed and doubled me up

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196186 - My AKo > some dude's Aces when he was totally dominating the hand in the preflop and flop He didn't lay down his Aces and I stacked him with three of a kind kings.

**Badbeats:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196201 - Ok, its a known fact that when I try to slow play aces I always get beaten. And this was no exception. Everything was going well until he improved his PP jacks with another jack on the turn.

Doubling up shorstacks:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196212
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/196192

All those bigs pots I won went to the trash because I spent the day doubling shortstacks YEY!

So I went to this concert of a band Ive been loving for years ( http://www.myspace.com/divisionminuscula ) and it totally rocked ;D I was almost deaf after I left the building ;D
My left elbow hurts as hell, so does my toes. All of that because of being at the slam the whole time. I took a couple of songs to recover my breath and energy and I was getting bored for not jumping or pushing people. I don't know how some guys were just standing there doing nothing but listening to the music. Thats fucking boring. I'm gonna have trouble when sleeping, thats for sure.

Yesterday I received a phone call from a friend telling me that tonight (or lastnight) a 'Poker-Night' was going to happend. I immmediatly said yes cause even when they are my friends, its easy money

So we were 9 people, $5 entry each for a total of $45.(Later on a friend went busto and rejoined by paying another $5 for a $50 prize in this winner-take-all.

50chips for each player. ($5 USD is 50mexican pesos, thats why we start with 50chips) Blinds at 1/2 and when a player gets eliminated blinds raises to 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10, 6/12 and the ultimate level was 10/20.

I was playing tight and was just studying the table. It was basically "Limp Poker"... I was playing tight and had around 46chips. I limped in with pocket threes (3-3), 5 more friends did the same thing:

Flop was 3-J-J giving me fullhouse. I was sure nobody called with J-3 so I had the best hand although I did now that I was going to get a call from AJs or KJs.

I checked the fullhouse. Player next to me went allin with 20chips. Player next to him called with pocket fives. I pushed for an extra 30chips. Pocker fives folded.

So It was KJ vs 33 in the 3-J-J flop. I obviously was happy with that... until the turn came. Turn showed a freaking KING!!!! omg I was down to 30chips after that and was a little bit dissapointed.

I didn't go on tilt and just waited for the good hands to come. I doubled up later and increased my stack to around 70 chips with KQ against AT in a K-8-J-x-K board. Then I was dealt pocket sixes in early position. Blinds were at 3/6 at that time so I pushed (lol me). Shorstack with around 40called with JQspades. 2nd in chips called me with pocket sevens. Chipleader called me with Q4 (lolol).

Flop was T-6-2. OMFG sweet :D turn was a 3 and the river another 3 so I made a fullhouse and increased my stack to 260chips.

A few minutes later we were playing 3handed. Blinds at 10/20. 2nd player in chips with around 80 chips pushed the shortstack and he called. I folded a 5-7 there. Shorstack showed a 5-7 lol! 2nd in chips showed AK:

Flop was 4-A-6 giving the shortstack an open ended straight draw. He didnt get his straight so he went out.

Headsup TIME!

I had around 300 chips and my friend around 200. (500chips in play). Blidns still at 10/20. I minraised with T2o in the button and he called. Flop was like 8-T-4. I pushed with my top pair and he folded.

Chip count: me 360 vs 180chips aprox.

I got dealt T2 AGAIN two hands later. blinds 10/20. I was the SB and I limped in. He minraised me. I called.
Flop was 8-T-A. I checked. He pushed allin. He is a very loose/aggressive player and likes to bluff a lot. I thought for a while and called. He showed pocket sevens and I was dominating the hand with my Tens! :D

T2o vs 77.
Flop: 8-T-A
Turn: 6 giving him 4more outs.
River: 8

OMG IM fucking doyle brunson now, T2o ftw! :D

So i went home with the $50 prize and a big smile in my face. I love playing live poker. weeeeeee :D
