LETZ GAMBOOOOOOL

I think I'm going to go to a BJJ school and learn BJJ before I head back to Team Bison.

Team Bison is a great organization.

It'll be something I will strive to be a part of. But right now I feel like I am only holding those great fighters back by having them teach me shit when they could be improving themselves.

So I will train my ass off at a BJJ school so I can be at least up to par or above some of them when it comes to the ground game.

p.s.
I'm more banged and bruised up than I ever was playing football.

football conditioning + getting hit < mma

thank god my beautiful face hasn't been messed up (yet..) so I still have my money maker.

p.s.

www.am1500.com :D

republican radio in Minnesota is teh shit.

p.s. I dont consider myself republican or democrat. Although I am more "liberal" I don't feel extremely connected to either party.

I've decided to post some of the random shit to keep people updated.

Anyways I've been looking for a team/gym to train with for a while now and I think I found it.

Team Bison

A local team that trains M-F 7-9.

I got there at 7 and proceeded to get my ass handed to me everytime i rolled with someone.

Seeing I have no BJJ or Submission skills I found myself tapping everytime I rolled with someone. These guys were no jokes either. Everyone there has been training over a year and most have a few amateur fights on them.

I think it'll be a great place for me to get my ass kicked the first couple months. To learn from very skilled fighters like I will be able to is really awesome.

The only time I ever got close to getting someone to tap is I put someone in a tight headlock. He reversed it after about 10 seconds though :-(

I even ended up rolling with the coach of the gym. He taught me a few quick fixes to what I was doing wrong. Another guy taught me how to effectively get out of the full mount when you're on bottom.

Another guy taught me how to armbar and also the Guillotine choke.

I'm hoping to go T Th for this next week. Then after that. M W F.

First things first.

I'm engaged.

I popped the question to my longtime girlfriend a few days ago and she said yes ^_^

Wedding will be a few years away. Also dont expect any little sven's running around anytime soon either... HOPEFULLY

Pictures of the ring will be up later :D

---------------------------------------

Invigorated Passion
for MMA

I'm withdrawing a large % of my roll from Pokerstars and FTP to put towards MMA training.

Poker, however fun it may be on occassion still has nothing on sparring and training MMA.

I've been out training for a little over a year. So I think it won't take TOO long to get back into it

Starting my program today.

I'll keep you all updated with progress and hopefully (many months down the road) I'll get a fight

Right now this is what I'm at

6'2''
202 lbs
A few years of Tae Kwon Doe
A year of Sanda (MMA)

I'd like to cut down to 170 and put on muscle from there. I'd expect this to take a few months.

Things I'll be working on
-------------------------
-Cutting Weight
-Building Back up to about 185 of muscle.
-Train in BJJ, Judo, and some sort of standup (still debating what I'd like to get into)

Wish me luck LP and I wish you all the best of luck online :-)

Like I said, I'll keep you updated on training and anything new thats coming up.

As for Poker... I'll probably leave a few thousand online so I can donate to Nolan or something.

<3

edit: If any of you want to make a prop bet.

Saying I'll quit in a week or anything i'd be interested in seeing a proposal :D

motivation is never a bad thing

Basically I've made more over my lunch break playing poker than I get working there 2 weeks xD

I still love my job and I wouldn't quit, but it's hard going back to work knowing you could be on the grind online making a lot more.

But insurance + benefits > poker atm

So far I'm

+1500 since friday
I feel fairly confident in my play style, as it is a very dynamic approach to the games on PS.

Still fixing leaks like everyone else (standard)

Anyways gl to everyone.

I would post PT stats... but I guess my HH had errors in them or some shit so GG that idea.

Peace

went to Canterbury after I got off work today @ 5 wanting to play some 15/30-30/60

But those lists are pretty huge atm so I decide to splash it around at the 6/12 game.

Holy shit was this a loose ass game. Not only was I card dead but I getting raped when I'd pick something up. Whatever.
So Far
-330

15/30 Game FINALLY opens up and I'm able to leave that fucking table.

@ the 15/30 Game nothing too fancy happened.

My kings lost to 6 4 of hearts vs a really agro guy who I wasn't pushing off shit. Flush on the river. gg me.

Make a sick call down with A6 against A2 and take down a nice pot before I get moved to the 15/30 Main Game (I was currently playing at the feeder game)

The main game was nitty as fuck. first 2 times I opened with KQ and AJ it was insta folded around.

I pick up Qs9s in the BB and UTG+1 2-bets. folded to me I call.

Jh 10s 4s

Long story short I end up 4 betting it on the flop, betting turn and donk betting the missed river. :-[

I then pick up pocket three's next orbit in the BB. 1 bet to me, I call same with another guy.
Flop Ah 5d 8h
Check Check Bet Call Call
Turn 9s
Check Check Check
River 2s
Check Bet Call Call

One guy has A 4 and gets the pot shipped to him.
T_T on my good read though on the original better of the hand with a fd.
I really didnt want the other guy to call too.

Anyways ONWARD now to the 30/60 game.
Lots of familiar faces from last nights crowd. so it looks pretty good to me.

Early on I get raped hardcore. Kings < Rivered Ace
Flopped Straight < Rivered Higher Straight (huge ass pot... at LEAST 800.00

I had 108 suited in the BB and it was 1-bet to me with about 6 callers.

Flop Comes J 9 7
it goes bet 2-bet called around to me I also call

Turn 2
I c/r the entire field with the nuts

River 10
I bet out and get insta raised. I call and he shows KQ

Meh w/e

-600 at this point and kinda frustrated


I start to chip back up after I get off life tilt.

Until this hand comes up

I get 3c 10c MP.

UTG (has been opening and 3-betting very light as I have seen so far) I decide to isolate and 3-bet

folded around to the SB who 4-bets
UTG 5-bets
OOPS
I call

2h 4c 6h
SB bets
UTG 2bets
I call
SB 3-bets, UTG 4-bets I call (/WRIST AT THIS POINT IN TIME)
SB Caps again.

Turn 8c
OOOOOO
I check/call
River 5s

I check/raise and get shipped a huge pot with 3c10c
Oh lawd I love limit poker sometimes.

After this pot and a few other boring pots I find myself up 1200

I decide to call it quits at 11:00 CST due to the fact that I work again tomorrow and last night raped me (fucking no-doz)

+1450

Anyways peace.

p.s.: I love to tilt 2+2 nits

Finally my phone decided to send my pictures of my stacks for proof and also a brag ofc.

Brag - Those pictures... I'm like a mini ket in training or something
Beat - I got 9 hours of sleep in the past 4 days
Variance - getting money online again.


Red Chip = 5 bucks


Brown Chip = 10 Bucks

Sorry about the image quality I wanted to keep a low profile while taking the pictures for whatever reason.

Started off at the 15/30 game.
Was a REALLY juicey game, so juicey I couldn't make a dime. So many stations it was so sick if your hand held up by the river (lol min bet pokah)

Anyways after -300 @ the 15/30 game I took a break and went home for a break. Then proceeded with the great idea of... 15/30 has too much variance atm so... I'll play 30/60

-_______________-

I get there and it takes about 30 minutes before a seat opens up

First hour is +/- 300
Then things start to pick up, I take a few nice pots down and start building a nice profit.

Notable hand
------------
I'm in the BB with Jd6d . UTG+2 (really agro) raises.

Folded to me, I make the call.

Flop A 5 8.
He bets I call with the intention of check/raising the turn
Turn Q
I check/raise and he mucks KK face up
I flip my hand over and watch the tilt unfold.

He becomes super agro and the worst part was, he was taking down nice pots -_-;

I try to avoid him for the most part and don't really get into anything with him the rest of the night. I continue to chip up for the rest of the night, no real big wins/losses. Pretty steady profit for a few hours. was beating the game at about 5 big bets per hour, which is really fucking good at any limit.

SKoT comes over after work to rail me for a bit. By this time its about midnight and I'm so fucking tired I go to the bathroom and buy a no-doz package. (2 capsules)

I proceed to take both of them and down them with Mountain Dew.

About the same time I decide to end my session +1700
Cash out and decide to play some 6/12 with SKoT

No-Doz starts hitting me and I cant sit still. The first 30 minutes @ the 6/12 game is me standing behind my chair pacing back and forth feeling physically sick to my stomach (bad beat taking BOTH capsules... As soon as I took them I read the package "take 1 every 4-6 horus" OH GAWDDDDDDDDDDD)

End up losing about 40.00 before calling it a night @ 2:00am

SKoT and I then proceed to follow up with the traditional Perkins meal.

After horrible service and laughing our asses off at random shit in the store we leave at about 3:00am

Anyways now Im still kinda awake and I dont want to fucking work in a few hours... Because I know I'll end up just drinking a shit load of coffee or taking another no-doz (just one this time thx)

peace

Played some 15/30 + 6/12 over the weekend.

Play very well I believe.
+1600 @ the 15/30 Game
+400 @ the 6/12 Game

Was an intense day starting saturday @ 11am going until basically 11am sunday.

I wish I could post the chip stack I had, but for some reason my cell wont send it to my email >_<

Interesting Shit @ The 15/30 Game
---------------------------------
So many 2+2 nits are swarming these 15/30 + 30/60 games its sick... All I did for a while was 3-bet Mr. Agro @ the table all day long and make his life hell.

Who wants to get involved in a pot who puts the Table Renegade on tilt...

Notable hands
Old guy makes it 2-bets UTG
(he was new to the main game, I've never seen him before)
I look down at 3h7h and insta 3-bet on the button. He makes it 4, I kick myself and call.

Ah Qh 5h
DING DING DING
He bets into me. I raise he calls.
Turn Brick
River Brick
He calls and I show my '3-bet' potential. The whole table is quiet and you can tell that tilted the shit out of this guy. :-[ oops


I felt like I was also making pretty sick reads.
I raised in the CO. Button 3-bets, blinds fold.
I call
Flop 10 J 3 rainbow
I check/call
Turn 10
I check/call
River K
I check and end up calling. Showing him the 2's and remember him repeating about 10x 'so sick' as he mucks his hand.

My reasoning for calling was it was his first hand in the table and I've played with him a few times before. He has a bully image and likes to be seen as someone to 'fear' at the table.

The only guy I do really fear and avoid at all costs is a guy named "Mitch" I believe.

He's sick... meta-games the entire fucking table and really knows how to value his hands. When I see him playing I usually just end up playing 6/12 instead. I really can't play my style vs. him at all. I cant find a weakness to exploit in his game and it frustrates me when I cant do that to someone.

One day Mitch...
One day...

They suck T_T

Really starting to rape the shit out of me waking up early and going to bed so late.

Poker
-----
I went to canterbury the other day and got pretty much rizaped by the deck so I decided I'd cut my losses and head home early.

Depositing 500 back to FT tomorrow
Playing 15/30 @ Canterbury Tomorrow as well. So it's gonna be a pretty hardcore action packed poker day after work.

Random Crap
-----------
Money doesn't even have value to me anymore.

Everyday at the bank I count SICK amounts of cash. Today I had to put 100.00 bills into rolls of 500$

They came straight from the fed which is ofc 10K stacks. I had to do 5 of them.

After working a little over a month there now, it doesnt even look real. pretty sick.

Hopefully one day I can be that balla, cept it'll be my own money im counting

-Ciaooooooooo
