Had what is, with great regret, most likely our house's last party night of the summer. First we watched UFC 100 @ our place, then we went to the nightclub The Bank at Bellagio. I had a really good time and unfortunately I was distracted by a cute west african girl for most of the night and didn't get to hang out with frinkx, pooruser, rekrul, fraser, and gumster as much as I would of liked.. but as far as I know everyone had a pretty good time and it was a good end to the summer's festivities.
Not much left to do but chill out and return to.. err.. semi-normal life starting this wednesday. I'm actually the only one not returning to a normal life as I'm going to spend the next 3 weeks in various timeshares (basically nice hotels) and then who knows what.
Munching on some Del Taco.. a delicious end to the night ;D
Ugh, really been playing scared money lately + loss of confidence has really caused me to make a lot of backwards choices and mistrusts of my first conclusion when making a decision. I really gotta figure out a way to sort myself out because I've cost myself so much money due to this.
Plus on top of making a lot bad decisions due to second guessing myself, I'm running really crappy. Though I definitely could have much more profit than I do now if I was playing the game like I know I'm capable of (like 9/10 of the last big decisions I've made I've done the opposite of my first instinct/thought and made the wrong move like every time, its nearly comical..)
Well I guess this is mostly a personal issue that outside help can't do too much for. (though I suppose some coaching would still help ofc). So I'll kick myself in the ass and focus on sorting my head out, trusting my first conclusion, and definitely catch myself if I start thinking in terms of scared money.
I've been up for 30 hours again, damn it. I started playing a session at MGM at 9.30pm Saturday and I ran like the sickest death (as usual.. sigh).. so I decided not to tilt and I finally recovered to a whopping +200 dollars at 4PM Sunday. Then I left.
For some reason I never went to sleep. Fixing to hit the sack after 30+ hours of awakeness running on 4 hours of sleep. Shits retarded brah.
Bigredhoss showed up at the house today so that was cool. Big group went to naked fish(super sick sushi joint) tonight:

NIGHT2O1!!!!!
VanDerMey.. fuck I don't know how to spell it
Pooruser
Citizenwind
Fuck there were 1 or 2 others I think but they were across the table and I honestly can't remember at the moment lol.
Was a good dinner.
Also met Fraser and MiPwNYa the other night, which was awesome as they both turned out to be really cool dudes. Played pool, played a sit 'n go with the sick line up of Peachy, Pooruser, Fraser, MiPwNYa, and I. Obviously, Pooruser and I chopped his 4:1 chip lead due to his fear of me heads up. Also played Tennis. By 7AM Fraser was stuck $120 to me in propbets but obviously I got hustled out of it when we all agreed to flip and quite frankly, Fraser is the smaller-stakes Artanis when it comes to flipping IMO. Pooruser got hustled the sickest by Fraser in flips though, so I don't feel too bad.
So things have been good except for poker which I'm sure will pick up and I'll go on a massive heater soon. Definitely been playing an hour or 2 of nl10 PLO on FTP where I will be experimenting and see what I think of the game (I've been having a lot of fun so far). We'll see if that goes anywhere... Otherwise just trying to think about my NLH game and try to sort of hit my next breakthrough
/edit
FUCK I forgot Ket, I hardly talked to him because he was way across the table
May 1st 'til now has pretty much been the most stressful period of time I've had in a looong time. I think I've played well/ + EV overall, but I've definitely ran bad in many crucial parts (its mostly been that everytime I've played vs drunk aggrotards I've gotten coolered really hard and had -2-5bi sessions). Of course I'm not putting all of the blame on luck or what not, I've definitely not played every hand as well as it could be (and a number badly of course lol). I'm still working on my game fo' sho'.
I've deposited $600 on FTP so that when I'm bored I can grind nl25 and move up as my roll allows. I think playing a bit online will help keep myself disciplined and my game a little sharper, because you see so many more situations and basic concepts like solid preflop play are reinforced.
Goalwise, I've set a modest goal of 20kBR by the end of august. I've also banned myself from spending more than $60 on a night of partying, and I'm totally rhino-banned until I'm ballerstatus lol. I can't even imagine how much better I'd be feeling if I had the significantly larger bankroll of a non-rhino/partying goofball. Infact I'd already have my 20k roll roflz :D Then I could be partying without regret! I'm still going to be partying and having fun, just will have to sit-out on some of the club nights w/ the crew.
Otherwise things have been pretty fun~ Pooruser and I have a pretty serious propbet that we have to agree on a time to start. Basically its a DDR/ITG (an american DDR clone) vs Mario Kart bet. We have $1k on each event. Basically we both feel like we're freerolling the fuck out of eachother on each side of the bet; me on DDR/ITG and pooruser on Mario Kart. I need to practice the hell out of mario kart because I literally play it worse than a 3year old with downs at the moment. :D Biggest problem could be if steve is a secret DDR/ITG hustler but I don't think that's the case lol.
NL25 graph WHASSUP.
(tbh the only reason I'm playing online again is so I can post GRAPHS!!!)
0/6 in flips (QQ vs AK, 9d7 vs 85dd on 97Tdd (I HAD A DIAMOND BLOCKER + REDRAW!! EVEN!!!) etc) + other runbad + the standard not-always-perfect-play
I'm actually not so tore up about it since it didn't totally crush my roll or anything since I just had that big winning day. Another day like this and I have to move down to 1-3 again roflsuicide, but I'm still feeling pretty good at the moment.
Waiting for that sweet uphill variance.. I feel like its pretty well saved up by now :D
whoa I'm a sick retard and I love every minute of it
so 2nite we went to tryst with peachy, rekrul, myth, pooruser, citizenwind, myself, frinkx, and some other peeps who obviously aren't nearly as kewl
ok so ya it was awesome, I met dan/rekrul for the first time and he is, as advertised, a cool guy. peachy was REALLY serious about immediately drinking himself into oblivion (he was constantly pouring shots of patron and offering shots to other people, always taking a shot when someone else would). I honestly don't know what happened to him because last I saw he was passed out for about 30 minutes and then disappeared after I went for a walk around the club.
Pooruser's friend chris is in town, he is pretty cool. I happened to return to the house at the same time his cab pulled up. Poorusers's friend is standing there in some super drunk daze while his cab says to me, "Take care of this guy ok?" I try to say "what's up chris? u alright?" but he just disappears and whatever.. I hope he's alive and what not.
I met some chicks from fucking england of all places, and obv they all have boyfriends. Whatever. I got the cute black english girl's number and she might come out to rehab with pooruser and his friend and I on sunday. Rehab is some super-special pool party or something. Might be fun..
I dropped by Del Taco (basically identical to Taco Bell) on the way home and it was.. basically.. fucking awesome. I ate 5 tacos and my mouth still burns 30 minutes later. So life is awesome.
Ok I probably forgot some important shit but whatever PEACE@!!!!
