No Nuts, No Glory

All i got is the Cubs to cheer on. And lets face it, its only a matter of time before they blow it again. Or is it?

Almost 4 weeks since I cut a check from Stars and its still not here. Lame

Havent played much, but still made a little scrilla...



Ran EXTREMELY bad on Wednesday. Crazy frustrating.



I wish i could play more poker. Ive been pretty busy with work lately so i havent even been able to play the last 2 days.

Today myself and 2 buddies of mine took all this old fitness equipment that we had in storage to this metal yard. We were told we'd get over $1000 for it so we were fine with busting our asses for a few hours in the heat. We got it all loaded up in the truck and then dumped it in this gigantic pile of metal. Went to see how much moneys worth of metal we had dropped off and the lady at the desk gave us a ticket to cash for $137. FUCK ME. Feeling like it was pretty much all for nothing and only a 20 minute ride from Ceasars, we took it to the boat to see if we cold double it up on Wesley (always bet on black). Walk straight up to the table, $135 on black, 10 seconds later the ball drops on red 3. We used the last $2 and got two Lottery tickets which is now at $300,000,000. So hopefully we will hit and today will not be all for nothing.

Time to let loose. Best wishes

Dont have it but i want it. Anybody have any first-hand reviews of it? Is it worth the money?



Found a picture of it on the internet.

Also, got me a brand new truck. Shipsters...



With the UofL license plate to boot.

Pokerwise, struggling at 50nl but made up for it in the heads up games and at 100nl as well.

GL at the tables.

Had a good week even though i was down $150 yesterday. I was up over $200 from 50nl and some heads up games but i dropped 3.5 buy-ins playing 100nl. UGH. The last 1500 hands there have been ugly. I dont know why but i find myself playing far too loos preflop and bluffing in spots i dont ever bluff at. My main problem has been playing too loose in early position. My PT position stats are terrible in 1st and 2nd position. The last 2 days im sporting a 29 VPIP which is how i use to play before i tightened up. I like to be somewhere around 21-22 these days. I did end up +230 for the week at 100nl which is good but im gonna hold off 100nl for now. Ill take a few more shots next week and try not to be so tilty.

This weeks PT and PG


The last 5000 hands arent pretty. Got variance?

Figured id start a blog to help keep me occupied during the day when im playing poker.

Quick Summary

For the most part im a part-time player. I have a small business here in Louisville - as well as a stupid girlfriend - which keeps me away from the poker tables sometimes. Ive played pretty much exclusively on Stars since the summer of 2003. I pretty much only played low limit MTT and SNGs up until the beginning of last year. And I did pretty well in them with a 192% ROI in over 825 tourneys. But i never really enjoyed not having the option to get up and go, or play whenever i wanted to (like in cash games). That said, i decided to give the ring games a try and had solid success. Played 100NL - mostly 6max - all year running 7.45 BB/100. At the end of last December on into the new year i went on somewhat of a downswing where i didnt really make any money and wound up having my first losing month ever in January. Somewhat discouraged i didnt play much poker (there were a few weeks where i'd try a play as much as i could) up until the end of June.

Jan. 1 through mid June:






I treated myself to a few vacations this summer and when i got back from my last one in June i needed to make some money (summer months are slow with my business). I had cashed out half my bankroll so ive been playing mostly 50nl 6max since then. Havent had the luxury of keeping all my winnings in my account so im not back at 100nl just yet. I have put in almost 4k hands at 100nl but nothing crazy.

June 21st through today:






As fars as poker goals, i dont really have any except trying to move back up to 100nl as soon as posible. Like i said, ive been hampered with having to make a few cashouts for living expenses. But im almost half way to Supernova where im looking forward to cashing in a few $1500 bonuses to add to my roll (unless i go concierge instead!).

Im not really sure how often ill be posting, but im looking forward to learning a lot and improving my poker game. Because I looooooooove $$$.



Thats me, the dink (not donk) middle-right in the hat with a few of my best friends.

Best wishes at the tables.
