I didnt want to put this in blogs because it disappears after 5 entries get put up but i guess ill just move it to general after it disappears. the title of the entry explains a lot.
so its my moms birthday and my dad, my mom and i went to a thai restaurant about 30 minutes away. the food was pretty good, we had some good soups, appetizers and my drunken noodles main was tasty.
anyway we're wrapping the meal up and i feel some gas coming along. anyone who knows me pretty well knows just how much i love to fart. GOD I LOVE FARTING. theres just nothing better. so i rip one or two and they leave a delicious aroma around our table. i think my parents smell it but they havent made any comments yet. so i go to let another one out but its more than just air.
i felt the liquid poop hit my boxers and my eyes hit the back of my head, i gulped really hard and excused myself to the bathroom. as i was waddling towards the mens room all i could think about was not getting any buttsauce on my $90 lucky jeans.
i get in there and theres a tiny little mess on my favorite pair of boxers. i remove my shoes, then my jeans and underwear and drop them in the trash. it was one of those single toilet mens rooms where you have the whole bathroom to yourself so i was ok to walk around stark naked from the waist down and not get any stares from neighboring bathroom attendees. i finished the poop, cleaned up and walked out of there with a new airy breeze reaching my privates.
this was only the second time ive ever sharted. the first was about 9 years ago, i was 15 and playing starcraft and back then all i lost was a ladder game. this shitting experience was a lot like playing starcraft. basically i was protoss, my poop was zerg, i early expo'ed, the waste 9 pool+fast speed upg for lings and ran his lings by my photons. this is the last mother fucking time ill ever let those goddamn lings past my choke/anus.
im sad to part with my favorite boxers, but i guess they are a small price to pay for the enjoyment of the poo. its also sad that from now on i will fear farting without the aftermath of a volcanic eruption in my pants.
So ive pretty much stopped playing everything besides 3/6 6max the past week. I havent been doing very well and i wanted to buckle down and grind out some profit before moving back to other things.
I just cant seem to do very well. Im for sure running under expectation, but i also havent played my best. I had 1 -4500 session in there, which made me realize that i need to be a lot stricter about my stop losses. I hadnt had a 7-8 buyin loss in a session in a long time. Im reinstating the 4 buyin stop loss for 3/6 and 5/10 and ill use a 3 buyin stoploss for games at 10/20+ in the future.
Barely winning over such a large period of hands is really frustrating. I feel like Sylvester Stallone in Rocky 3 when he is training with Apollo for his rematch vs Clubber Lang. You know the scene, where rocky is taking punches to the head from Apollo but is having flashbacks to his first fight with clubber, but he isnt going down because the punches are so much weaker. (gotta click comments to see the video, dunno why videos arent showing up on the main blog page)
Thats how i feel at 3/6 6max. Most of the players are just so much weaker than opponents im used to playing and i see all these awful things but keep getting my head beat in. Im going to keep fighting and work through this. I will keep reviewing all my pots where i lose 30bb or more, look for things i can improve in my game, and keep playing high volume until im comfortable to move back into other things.
Been doing very well this month up till about 2 days ago. I had 3 bad sessions in a row playing 3/6 6max and i did a lot of thinking/work on why i was playing bad. A lot of it was running bad but i definitely was not playing my best. I had about an 8 buyin downswing over the course of 3-4k hands, so i went through all the pots over 30bb i played and looked through PT to find some errors and i think i corrected most of them. So far ive won 5 buyins back and im going to play till i win about 5 more buyins before moving back into higher 6max games. Anyway, here are the pt stats for january so far:
Its not listed because its at the bottom, but ive started tinkering around at 2/4 hu. i really want to improve my hu game so im going to start at 2/4 and work my way up after i win about 20-30 buyins at each level. ive never really spent any time working on it and i believe being a good hu player is the key to moving past 10/20 and 25/50. ill probably spent some time watching all the hu videos on CR and going through sessions of hands to see how the game flow is going.
Outside of poker there are 2 new possible loves in my life. The first is mr townsends now ex assistant brooke. it seems she is no longer under mr rugbys wing and a free bird these days. as andrew proved in an earlier blog entry, her name along means shes hot so we should be on the search for her. lets track her down. i typed brooke into google images and these are some of the brookes who i dont recognize that might be her:
Any of these could be her.
Also, i never watch the show usually, but kathy daut convinced me to watch american idol with her the other night. I fell in love with one of the contestants, kristy lee cook: She trains MMA (sick armbar in the video), is super hot, good country singer and is going to be famous soon. if anyone knows how i can get in touch with said goddess let me know! check out her american idol video (YOU HAVE TO CLICK COMMENTS TO SEE THE BLOG ENTRY AND VIDEO FOR SOME REASON):
So I decided I wanted to improved my limit game because I think it would really help with tough postflop situations and help my hu NL game in certain situations where i need to get max value with hands and need to make big call downs.
I started off the day trying to get hu limit games anywhere from 2/4 to 10/20. i watched a couple schneids vids and played a bunch and apparently i really really fucking suck at hu limit. check out this mess:
LOL. that has to be the most pathetic thing of all time. i cant even claim running remotely bad as i lost to about 6 separate opponents. ok i guess i wont be playing any more hu limit.
BUT ON A POSITIVE NOTE...i decided to not totally give up and try to grind back the losses at other limit games, and VOILAAAAAAAA, apparently i can minbet decently in 6max:
so i made 18 dollars today. weeeeeeeeeeeeee ship it. ok im done with limit, back to grinding nl cash tomorrow.
new years eve was fun, and im contemplating mspainting some of it for your viewing pleasure, but it will definitely take a while to do. maybe ill do it when im in bahamas. the pictures would have funny moments from the nights of ahh_snap and martine23.
and one final note, i have joined the dark side. i was in EB games the other day and there was an after christmas sale, and i picked up WoW and the expansion for only 30 bucks!
this is what my character will look like after im not a newb:
I'd like to recognize some heroes today who have accomplished some great things of late.
Blair, known as blur5f6 online just destroyed FTOPS event #1 for over 145k. I didnt know he was deep that night but luckily the FTP server crashed and they had to come back the next day and finish the tournament so I could watch him end lives the next night. here's a recent picture of blair with his tin foil grill:
It's a good thing for live tourney players that randal flowers is only 19 cause he has been owning live tourneys this year. He chopped the turning stone 5k event in august for 105k and he just got 2nd in the canterbury main event up in minnesooooooooota. I always thought that famous bunny was the Canterbury bunny but really it was the cadbury bunny. Oh well i dont really care its close enough so i made randal into a bunny anyway:
Adam "Roothlus" Levy has recently joined the Daut mig naz team of all stars and wasted no time making a WPT final table at niagara, which was probably the toughest FT in the history of the WPT with actionjeff, scott clements, jon little, barry greenstein and redsoxsox. Rooth is known for (up until recently) having a special ed avatar on stars and advocating personal hygiene to success in poker. gooooo roothlus
And finally, last but not least, mr michael "martine23" martin. Mike just got 2nd in the 5k euro amsterdam classic main event. He chopped the event for 450k euros which is a maaaaaaaassive score. Here's a picture of him before the final table looking unkempt:
After he knocks noah "exclusive" boeken out of the event ,he asks him for some fashion advice
Also, it appears that mike is a little smokey jr. Check out the resemblance between mike and this old picture of smokey i have:
Sorry helga, but im leaving you. Your drinking is out of control. Byrnesam took this picture of you
People dont understand how you get when you drink. It was fun while it lasted but Mig was right. You are a whore. Tdomeski and all the others can have you as im sure they have many many times before.
It's ok, im happier with erin.
She takes me on adventures and she wants to do more than just drink all the time.
Good bye helga. I hope one day you finally find AA to help you with all your drinking problems.
there was a post on liquidpoker about this website where you can upload a picture of yourself and it matches characteristics of your face to celebrities and tell you who you look like.
obv i look most like taylor hanson. now that conversation quagmire was having about me makes perfect sense.....
I've been running insanely hot this week, but i feel like im playing very well. Despite that, i can still feel room for improvement. im very motivated to try to move into bigger games, but im a huge bankroll nit and will probably wait till i have 40 buyins (online bankroll) for any level before moving up. So i'll continue grinding 3/6 -10/20 for a while until my online bankroll is back up to 200k ish and then move back into 25/50.
Wcoop starts tomorrow and im pretty excited to give tourneys another go. i came close in 3 events last year but couldnt close out anything better than a ft 2 table finish. hopefully i can pull down a big score this year.
anyway. ill come up with some good mspaints next week when im in ac.
