Oh baby... so I arrived in Vegas at around 8:30 last night, and immediate was shipped to Nobu where we ate a lot of fancy Japanese food at a ridiculously expensive price. Daut lost the credit card roulette for that bill, so gg him. Then we went to get some more booz, then we drank, and before you knew it we were in the Sapphire strip club looking at semi-attractive strippers that were getting hotter and hotter as the night wore on.
[vital]myth, Mango, Daut, Mogen, and Lyric
So after the strip club we find our way to the Wynn thanks to Daut being the only one sober enough to drive Lyric's new car and while walking to get some breakfast some drunk guys came up to Daut, Myth and myself and were like "Dude you guys, I'll give you 20 to 1 to go up there and slap those girl's asses!" as he points ahead to Mango and Mogen. In my drunken state I blurted out "Dude we know those girls!" then I realized how fucking retarded I was because that would have been the easiest hustle of all time. Daut and Myth were like WTF CosMo you are tarded, and insta-banned me from social conversation. I'm such a moron.
So breakfast was pretty much spent talking about mid-stakes regulars on pokerstars. We've come to the conclusion that pretty much everyone sucks except for the good LP regs at these levels. Word. I didn't take that many pics last night but I will def take more. Daut and BodogAri just came in here a few mins ago for their 15 min break and informed us that they are killing their table (they are at the same table). Hopefully they'll get far. I haven't met Nazgul yet! My life is yet to be complete.

That's right boys and girls, leaving tonight at 7:00pm for Vegas. Daut called me last night and informed me that he was with twin-caracas and got me all excited. He's playing the $25,000 event on Sunday so that should be fun to rail. I mainly can't wait for the food at Nobu. Like zomg, Nobu has the best rock shrimp ever. Too bad that place can burn a hole through your wallet. So for the most part today I'm just going to be packing for the trip, maybe get a hair cut, clean up my room, etc...
As for the poker... Wow. Maybe I suck. lol. This month has been pretty brutal, as I was down $2000 to start, then I recovered and was up like $1500, and now I'm down like $3000ish. That's a $4500 downswing just in the past 6 days between NL400 (-$2100) and NL200 (-$2400). It feels kinda sick, nothing is going my way. I posted a list of tough hands in the Hand Discussion for review if you guys wanna check those out. I went through my PT database for the past couple days and I do see some leaks I need to fix. I found some tilt calls, stupid bluffs, and spew plays that have tallied up to around $1500 worth of mistakes that can be worked on, but I'm pretty sure I gotta chalk up the rest to piss poor luck. Hopefully this week at Vegas will clear my mind.
Ok gotta prep myself for the partieessss~ I'll be taking mad pics in Vegas so look out for those~!

Title says it all, always position on top 20 places but no places paid, donkeying my chips away for no apparent reasons or getting horribly sucked out.
I can grind NL10 then loose all my profit in 2,3 crucial hands, meh.All these little things stack up and the result is:
*drum roll*
BR = 130 bucks Weeeeeeeee !
From a healthy 600 where i can definitly place in sng, and performing good in cash games to a creepy 130 bucks. Whatever, im a realistic guy so i don't care much i need to change my plans my baby br is in danger now.
Anyway i had a question in FR games:
- Should i call a raise with a small pp ?
So far, it has been ev- to do so, i call a raise (lose like .50) and i hit trips 1 out of 7 times. so it means my call costs me 3.50 bucks. I never call raises from shortstacks. So now i hit my trips, i call on flop then c/r or bet on turn, usually deep stack goes away before i can make my 3.50 back. Sometimes he has a high pp and goes all-in, when i don't get sucked out i stack him and win 1 BI.
Now let's say villain can holds AK/AQ/AJ and misses the flop, i don't hit a set but i still win. I pushed a couple of times, they usually shove to scare me/or when they hold a higher pp. It ends by me getting stacked to AA/KK/QQ/JJ .
Any flaw in my reasoning ? I've been thinking a lot about this one but doesn't seem to find any answers.
Playing shitty, tilting, getting bad beat to hell, meh.
Also spewing incredibly vs certain opponents, especially vs the kind who donkbets into you frequently.
If you are a microstakes player on stars you should know what I mean - these guys think they are playing limit and like to donkbet into you for like minimum to 1/3 pot size with air, draws, top pair no kicker, the nuts, 3rd pair and so on.
Well, on UB they like to bet pot into you.
On stars I'd just auto-reraise them the size of my cbet and that'd win the pot a large % of the time without risking much, on UB it means investing like 20% of your stack -_-
So I guess I gotta stop doing that.
Bought Pokeracehud, should be pretty helpful.
But you can add in around 80$ from my bonus + 85$ that I made in my first session that I didn't record handhistories from.. So basically I'm down from 640 to 500ish and now playing NL10 to figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong.
I'd post hands but the UB handhistories tilt me so I haven't saved many (on the site), will update with a few later I guess.. Tired, played 18 hour session then slept 6 hours then played a few hours again.
Latest session was kinda meh, one of the first hands I did an incredibly stupid shove with AK instead of checking behind, only thing I can blame it on is just getting out of bed because there was NO WAY a worse hand would call (558KQ, 3 hearts, board). He had 88. So I basically lost 1 buyin instead of 2/5 of a buyin, stupid stupid stupid.
Made quad 9s vs AAA22 (I flopped a set vs his two pair, so it was a suck-resuck).
Then I had one of those hands where you just curse and call, some guy with like 30/6 stats limp-reraised me from UTG when I had KK.
You feel so certain that he has AA but eh, I've been indoctrinated to not fold KK preflop =[
Also made what might have been a stupid shove with 555 on the river when a possible straight hit, however I don't think I could have folded anyway so I figured I might get value from one of the many two pairs.
But he folded so maybe I lost value or he was on some other draw..
My PT stats are somewhat ridiculous, like 27/20, but it's mostly because a signifcant portion of the hands were HU or 3 handed, where I think I've done ok at least.
Also I was being overly aggressive in my first sessions, probably getting a bit too confident after the good first session.
Yeah this is rambly, I'll just end it now, maybe it was interesting!
What really makes me feel bad about all this tho, is that if I hadn't tilted I'd still have like 550++++
(I had two REALLY bad tilt plays, like I turned an open ended straight + flush draw after calling a cbet, and the guy open shoves, I was planning on check raising, and I instant call - OOPS TILT, also shoved JJ vs KK).
Then again, if I hadn't gotten undersetted and under-fullhoused so much I'd be above 600.
So I went to San Pablo Casino last night to hone my live poker game at their NL$500 buyin (The game is $5-$5 blinds, but you must open the pot for $10, so it plays like a $5/$10 game) game that they only have on tuesdays and thursdays. My friend Tyler and RaiNKhaN also came with me, althought my friend Tyler only played the NL$100. Ok now for the brags, beats, and variance.
Brag: I sucked out on RaiNKhaN and stacked him with a poorly played AK. Get it in when his 43o hits 2 pair on the turn vs my flopped TPTK, river Ace, ship it.
Beat: RaiNKhaN totally (and mostly single-handedly) apesmashes the biggest gambling donkey at our table.
Brag: I met a cute asian girl who loves poker as much as me! So we talked poker strategy for like 2-3 hours at which point I realize she was a total donkey at the game. LOL.
Beat: I get stacked by this same cute asian bitch after she called my raise with JT and the flop came Q-9-8 vs my AA.
Variance: Casino poker... lol
Came up $320, after being up like $700 at one point. Got there at 10:00pm and played til 3:30am, so not that long of a session. Good practice for Vegas thou. I'm like soooo totally amped because I'm leaving for Vegas on Saturday in the afternoon, and the first thing I'm going to try to do is meet Nazgul, yes that's right, Nazgul himself. When I meet Nazgul, I'm pretty sure my life will be complete. Here is for all you guys in Ventrilo who wondered what Jimbo looks like:

I'm leaving for vegas tomorrow morning. I'll post updates on my progress in the tourney here, i'm sure cardplayer will also have a lot of live updates.
im bringing my digital camera, which i have not yet used. maybe i will post pictures of adventures i go on in the rhino with my massive wad of 1 dollar bills and other quests i may undertake.
P.S. Does anyone know what casino chevy chase went to in vegas vacation where he played guess the number and pick a hand? That seems like my kind of place.
and id also like to know the buffet they went to.
cousin eddie was a fan of the yellow stuff but i really thought the blue dish looked good.

Dunno wtf is going on with my game, i play good for like 1H then i start the crazyness, throwing my money out of the window or going all-in with speculative hands. It's just like someone else takes my place and while he's spewing my hard earned money, im looking him from the INSIDE.
I fucking need an exorcist or sumething WTF im so pissed right now, i ve been dropping 7 buy ins in about 2 days. My BR is in danger, no doubt about it i need to stop playing like shit or the end is near...
Amusing part is that im not even tilting, i m like chip leader at the final table then a good hand come, and i play it the worst possible way against a deep stack and put myself on danger. 2,3 or 4 overcards no matter what i fucking shove after c/r him WTF he FUCKING CALLED MY RAISE YOU RE BEAT FAGGOT JUST FOLD U FUCKING SOB.
This is like the 10th MTT sng that im playing where i get kicked on the top 20 positions while im deep stacked. Dunno wtf is wrong with me. I need to work hard on that now or i can say goodbye to my BR.
I'll keep doing some cash games max 6 and if i can't fix that major leak i'll have to go down to full ring for grinding back my BR.Oh man, you guys say Poker is ez, i say it's tough, at least for me !
