I'm all settled in here and worked my first day today, was pretty fun actually but my feet fucking hurt.
My room is sick awesome, i'm staying in a room @ the hotel we are renovating and it's pretty much like an apartment consisting of a living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen.
I went to the bar last night, I drank six (I think lol) long island ice teas and a red snapper and got pretty shitty but not all that bad.
anyways, i feel so much better now and all the stress and shit in my life is gone and it's all smiles.
i love life again, this is exactly what I needed.
If any of you fucks live near milwaukee tell me btw
This is a blatant brag actually i honestly believe that in my highest craziest gear playing 32/26ish and really focusing i can maintain a 16bb/100 on 400nl but i always get somewhat "bored" and after a few hands i start goofing around on MSN and firefox.
Anyway to make this blog-post less disgusting for you i will include a super valuable advice.
cut down the # of tables and LEARN, poker is not a grind especially not in microlimits, dont approach this game as a grind approach this game as a student, learn and suck the juice out of every hand, think deep about the hand, always think before acting and improve and CRUSH the limit, dont focus on making the most money per minute, nor even in moving up stakes, focus on learning and u will succeed at poker
well..after long consieration i've figured the only way for me to succeed in this game is to play SnG's where i don't care about the money and play my best.
I started with $5 on the $1 45 man SnG's and plan to move up to the $5 45 man SnG's at $150
after moving up a level playing the 3+.40 10 man and the 3+.25 6 man sng's not to bad first night playing up 30 overall not to bad ROI is 27.5% much better as to compare the 1+.20 9 man sng that i grinded my br from 8 dollars to current 150 and some change so all is going well hopefully soon i will be on the 5+.50 9 man sng but i wont move up to that till i get 275 i feel much more comfortable with a 50 bi start i just couldnt take the donks on the 1+.20 9 man and all the suck outs on the dumb shit...oh well time to go watch high stakes poker and then go to bed

So, this is my first live poker experience. I turned 21 three months ago and me and my cousin decided to hit up this tournament at a local casino. $50 buy-in, and $3 gets you another 500 chips added to your 1500 stack. There was 20 or so people and the prize pool was $1080 and top two get paid.
I played standard TAG and there was a lot of newbs on the scene who didn't know what blinds were / what the minimum raise was and etc. A few hands go by and I pick up 55 in MP. There is two limpers and I raise to 250. First limper calls, and second folds. Flop is KJ3, it goes check check. J turn, with now two spades on the board. He checks again, I fire 3/4 pot. Q river and he checks, I put him all in and he calls... and mucks, WTF? Anyways, I get a good pot out of that.
Few hands later, UTG limps, UTG + 1 raises 3x + limper, I raise 3x with KK. Everyone else folds and I put on my Phil Ivey impersonation and the guy does a Hollywood before announcing "All-in" I neck-snap call and he grunts like a bitch. He has QQ and he misses the board.
So now I'm chip leader at the table and still playing TAG and my cousin goes out with K4s and I'm like wtf mate? Newb.
Final table and I'm 2nd in chips starting and there are like 3 extremely short guys, like 6-7 BBs and they literally wait till they have 1-2 BB before going all-in. Fucking newbs.
This donk at my table who would go all-in / call shove with any Ace was battling it out with this old dude (who was my biggest threat, he knew how to play). Old dude raises 3x in the SB, donk calls. Old dude insta-shoves flop on 238 and donk says some retarded shit like, "Well, I'm hungry so I call." Old dude flips over J9o and donk calls with A5o, turn is a J and river is a 4. Old dude shakes his head saying somethin' like "and this is why people can't win tournaments."
I lol to myself softly as now it's down to final three. Me, donk, and semi-donk (plays any suited ace). I'm 2nd in chips still with blinds at 600/1200 with 300 antes (strong ante) and donk limps in on the button and semi-donk folds. I look at my shit, BOOM AQo and I have a stack of like 13k or so and I shove. Donk says "O rlly?" I put on Ivey impersonation and he asks for how much I have. I count it out but donk ends up folding his garbage.
Blinds are up to 1k/2k with mofuckin' 400 ante or somethin' and I am 2nd in chips at this point and I fold on the button. Donk is SB and shoves all-in and semi-donk calls with A4o, donk has 69o. Semi-donk's hand holds up and boom, we are final two. First gets like 780 and second gets 280 or somethin'.
I steal some blinds and we are about even in cheaps and like 10 hands into the heads-up he asks if I want to chop, I was like wtf? I wasn't even aware of chopping until now and I didn't mind getting $540 for my first night of poker so we chopped. I tipped the dealer $20 and he was like O_O thx!
Anyways, shit was fun as hell and easy at the same time. I'm going out again tomorrow to play in another $40 tourney so that should be fun.
