Boy was that a freakin blast. So basically Vegas is just so awesome and I can't wait to get back there for the summer (or even sooner). Here are some of the most memorable times of the trip:
- Nazgul at the Spearmint Rhino, after I got hustled in the backroom by a talking stripper, I come back and get talking to Nazgul, teddy wong, and bet2win about random shit. Then Nazgul asks: So which girl is Lyric's girlfriend? And so I was like Mango. Then he asks what about the other girl? So I was like... uh that's like Mango's girlfriend. So Nazgul was like... uuh wait, so doesn't Mango go out with Lyric? I'm like yes. Then he's like, but that other girl is with both of them? I'm like yes. He asks if they are Mormon, I say no. He asks if this is normal in America, I'm like not really Lyric just runs really good at life. He's still confused lol~
- Each Day, I pretty much slept til 2:00pm. Daut, on the other hand, woke up around 11:00am to play the noon tournaments at Ceasars. I found it entertaining when he was going busto before I woke up. LOL... ok I know that's not that funny.
- On Thursday I played $2-5NL at the Bellagio w/ Lyric til like 4:00am in the morning. Then his $25-$50 seat opened up so I decided to just go to sleep. I wake up at 3:30pm in the afternoon to my cell phone ringing. It was Mango. "Hey Jonny, are you with Lyric or is he still playing poker?" Uhhh... he was still playing poker.
- So after I got hustled at the Spearmint Rhino, we went to Treasures the last night (which is such an underrated joint, I was really diggin it). So this stripper chick comes over and she was mos definitly a talker. Mango read through this bitch's game and totally saved my ass from another re-hustle. The girl had some bangin ass body, but apparently I was too drunk to notice that she was ugly in the face. Oops.
- Daut's hot mom friend who we spotted playing $5-10 at the Bellagio was totally cool. She was telling us of this hand she played where she got in like 20bb's preflop w/ KK and some guy happened to get it in with her w/ 86s and flopped a straight or something and she was asking if it was bad. No, it was totally standard. But some donk was being totally result oriented and trying to tell her to play the hand differently. Tard, you're making the poor lady dumber. Oh, and Daut's hot mom friend found out about Daut's other ID: BigBalls! LMAO, I'm sure she's curious as to how he got that name!
- Pretty much every trip we go on, we see Ann, the live poker pro from the east coast. I dont believe she is from the east coast, caz she is litterally always in Vegas. I dont know her last name, or any other nick name, and the name 'Ann' seems too short to use so I've pretty much dubbed her 'Poker Pro Ann'. Poker Pro Ann plays 50 hour poker session regularly. What RaSZi?
Mogen, Lyric, Poker Pro Ann, Mango, and Daut
Nazgul and Mig.com in the middle of their hustle at bowling
Daut's face says it all... we are sooo getting hustled.
I might put up more pics later. Hope you enjoy these.

GOD really exists despite what alot of faggots people on the internet like to say to the contrary(emos!) Alot of these same people talk about wars and deaths blah blah blah,but guess what? We die! Everyone reading this is going to die at some point. So don't be emo and diss God about it.You have a short amount of time to figure life out before you die. Being an emo and dissing God isn't the answer to your questions about life. Infact it's just pushing away all of the hard questions in favor of easy answers. You can either pursue all of the hard questions in life and find all the hard answers in the bible, which is hard, or you can just do the easy thing that everybody does and say "god doesn't exist because the world is screwed up blah blah blah oh what an emo retard am i" and then the world will just continue to be as screwed up as ever.Guess what , the world has always been screwed up and always will be screwed up.People have always died whether there have been wars or not and they always will die whether there are wars or not. Why do people rape and harm others? That's a better question to ask yourself.Do you want to be one of those people who rapes and harms people because it makes YOU feel good? Maybe you want to be one of those people who is a dictator who causes wars? I'd rather follow God myself.Some people won't like your opinions and might even try and call you hateful or racist or something just for saying something that isn't politically correct.But just remember that they hate God and would rape someone just to get their own rocks off! They might as well be Adolf Hitler.You know society is retarded like that and tries to say that truly mean and vicious and hateful actions aren't that bad and shouldn't be punished but politically incorrect speech is hateful and intolerant and totally unforgiveable.
God is real , I hope some of you will realise it and find God.There aren't always easy answers.What if everyone did evil everytime they didn't find a quick and easy to answer to a problem?
"Oh boo hoo , google failed me i think i'll go out and commit rape and rob a bank,boo hoo"...
if you dont well have fun in hell for enternity ill be laughing at you from heaven
life is very precious and very delicate so be very careful with it or you could wind up dead or rotting in jail somewhere...
or what about guilt? would you feel good about yourself if you raped an killed somebody?
this is why we need to listen to God and get his good input instead of all of society's bad input all the time
all of life's answers are in the bible, do not question it's truthfulness, simply be grateful to HIM
God has a great sense of humor but he likes to make the jokes on those who hate him.I would advise against mocking God though.That would be very ill-advised.
If you really think about it and study you cant deny HIS existence and HIS word, yeah im sure we all "evolved" from monkeys but you fags can burn in hell, all the more bananas for me in heaven
200nl full ring is just soooo easy. Played first session at it in awhile and it went ok. I actually won the most buyins I think I've ever won in one session, but it was unfortunate because I ran really badly. I lost a few set over sets which never happens to me usually.
I also find 200nl Full Ring regulars to be worse than 100nl regulars if that's even possible. Must be variance.
I caught someone tilting bigtime who tilted away like 600 to me with random K high bluffs, pretty lucky.
In other news, I posted some hot jams and everyone was trying to ban me and it just really upsets me because I'm kind of emotional and generally feel misunderstood. It sucks when you try to reach out to people and they bite you, you know? I just try so hard to help people out and make people like me but it never seems to work, I don't know what's wrong with me...

LOL
PS - HEY HEY YA YA I DONT LIKE YOUR GIRLFREIND
LOL THAT SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD CANADAMENTS
First off, SOME ONE TELL ME HOW TO POST SWEET IMAGES TO MY BLOG VIA LP SO I CAN SHOW YOU MY SICK NEW BACKGROUNDS
Today I had to play on FullTilt since Ultimate Bet was being a slut. I found a huge leak in my game though, and I was stoked about that. My leak is...
..I let my ego get infront of my game. I have the mentality of "I'm the one who three bets you, YOU DON'T THREE BET ME!". I fight back and make ego stands way too often and it costs me mad balls. Weak.
After talkin to Brendan and Kahn though a bit about it I have some new ideas how to mix it up a bit more. Tonight though was kinda weird in how I played.
I started off super card dead. I only played one medium-ish sized pot.
Gay that was standard I think. What am I going to do, lead the turn and fold to a push? Come on. Anyways, an hour and a half into the session I found out that I was stuck two buyins.
Every fucking continuation bet I nailed someone came over the top. I got 3 bet preflop by 9000 douche bags who'd have position on me and I'd have to give up my hand every time. I haven't had that happen in a long time where I play no big pots and drop two buyins like that. Usually I can atleast force action to keep my head above water but not this time. Maybe thats telling me something?
Double barrel ends up building pot for me when I luck sack. TY IM THE BEST!
After that I went on to grind out a bunch of small pots and turn my -2.5BI at one point into an up +.8 buyin. My stats PO'd me though, I fucking hate FTP.
I have *never* ran this tight over a session.
Hands: 1150
13.48/10.17/3.48
LOLTIGHTAMENTS
I haven't ran that card dead in forever. Everytime I'd pick up a hand to play the action had already gone nuts. No stacking with 64 tonight. =(

Ok so I'm well rolled for nl25 at $900, which i played for a while , and was up 5 buy ins, buts its so fucking wierd, every time I get to 1500 hands, i get coolered like a bitch or ppl get mad lucky on me. Then at the very end i took this beat from a douche. This guy was a nit, but he acts pretty quicky with his good hands, he timebanked for a while then raised, i knew i had him but thats poker i guess.
So this had me on life tilt for like 15 minutes until i said, "suck it up you fucking pussy" while laying in bed. So i couldnt get to sleep and decided to hop on stars and play a lil sesh, played nl10, which is like the easiest game ever, lol. won 8 bis as u can see, so up a bit on the day. Now I am tired and i sleep, btw I'm moving up to nl50 at 1200 and back down at 1k if that happens to be the way the cookie crumbles.
LOLOL First I will start this blog by saying that Myth you fucking missed an excellent night of drunken fun yo~ I hope it was worth getting pwned at Live Donkaments. So we went bowling after dinner at some Mexican place ( I lost the credit card roulette, soooo standard, Lyric runs like God, more on this later). So we go to bowling, and I'm like obv the best bowler there, all these euro noobs are bowling straight at the pins and I'm like LOL? Your gonna get owned boys! Wait.... So I bowl my first frame and realize ZOMG the ball doesn't curve!?! There is just so my oil and slickness on the ball that I can put infinite amounts of spin on it and it just doesnt curve!!! OMG BAD BEATS MAN!
So somehow I bowl the lowest score out of anyone the first game, trying to figure out how to shoot straight down the middle because it litterally is a fucking bad beat in the asshole parts (Yes that means Daut and his noob ass bending over and closing his eyes beats me, and Lyric's luck sacked broken thumb beats me). Team California + PCA Winner is down -$100 each after Round 1. We play a $50 per player game and Team California + PCA Winner starts running like GOD the first 5 frames. LIKE OMG LYRIC RUNS SO GOOD, HE ROLLS THE BALL AT 1MPH AND KNOCKS EM ALL DOWN YO. But in the shadows Nazgul somehow whips out his best game ever or some shit and bowls a 185 (Newb shit yo~~ see this is me on a semi-decent day in California
Ship that shit Naz and Mig, YOU SEE THAT PWNAGE?
So we end up losing $150 each, whatever... CosMo is now down -$350 on the night before Spearmint Rhino... oh no. We get to the Rhino after a round of drinks at the bar, and we meet Daut's friend Martine23. Total baller yo~ so we get a private seating area in the back and get mad liqours and get totally taken to value city by their waiters. Then some asian chick comes over and sits on my lap. Tells me I'm cute and she likes my smile. Thanks babe, FrinkX says the same thing. But she has boobs and an ass like you wouldn't believe, and like whispered in my ear to come in the VIP back room with her. So I was like sure, lets go, then the VIP guy was like $400 bucks for an hour yo~ so I'm like uh sure yo~, and we went to a couch yo~, and she danced for like 5 mins, and then she gave me a massage for like 5 mins, then we talked for like an hour and I found out WE WENT TO THE SAME FUCKING SKOOL MAN! Now I'm not sure if this was a total hustle or what, she might really study her geography well, but fuck man, she knew everything in the Bay Area. Like, I got sooooo check-raised value stacked all-in by this chick. It was sick. So I got out of that room dropping like a lil over $450ish LMAO I'm such a fuckin fish.
Want to know my conversation with the stripper?
Stripper: "Hey your cute, I'm a stripper!"
CosMo: "Hey you look like my sister, I'm a poker player!"
Stripper: "Oh cool, how do you like poker?"
CosMo: "It's cool, how do you like getting max value from me in this back room"
Stripper: "It's totally cool dude, I like check-raised you all-in with the nuts because I know your some aggro donk that value bets any river if you think you have anywhere close to the best hand"
CosMo: "Good read, I'm so owned "
6:00am bitches, I'm writing this shit. Dedication to you LPers. Myth just came in the room and got hustled worse than I did! LOL MYTH'S LAST BLOG POST IS FUCKING HILARIOUS. Ok Goodnight ladies. GG me

So I haven't updated in about a month. I haven't been running too good, but I haven't played that much either. I am concentrating on donkaments, and I'm reading Harringtons book on NL Tournies, it's pretty interesting to be honest. So this weekend I'll play some more tournies, and hopefully cash in them. I've written about two poker leagues that I am competing in, I thought I could at least give you an update on them. I played last thursday against PokerMagazine, I went 2-2 in my HU matches, and I won my SnG.
So I woke up on Day 2 super hung over at 4pm. My sleep is totally screwed now. So after I wake up and take a shower me and Myth went to Ceasars Palace to play some 1-3 NL (they have a good game with a $500 max buyin). So I decide not to sit at Myth's table, and found my own table which was just loaded with weak/tight total passive nits. It was terrible... probably the most boring 5 hours of poker ever? It was very variance free session for the most part, as I played one big $200 pot w/ AK vs JJ. Everything else was just small pots chipping up. At the end of the session I was up $405.
Daut, Lyric, and Myth
So later that night we met up with Daut to goto PF Chang's. He was down to 28k in chips after Day 1 of the tournament. We ate lots of good chinese food, and basically decided to take a chill night as we went back to the hotel and crashed. I woke up today at 1pm as Daut came back up to the room and told me he went busto to Kido Pham when Pham woke up with QQ on the button and Daut had AQs in the big blind. BodogAri just came in here and informed us he was at 85k in chips, but is at a tough table with David Grey, two other tough pros, and ZeeJustin who is just a total monster.
Ok, going out to get something to eat. Will update more later.
