The same tourney that i took down about 3 weeks ago i played against last night. I FT'ed for the 2nd time in a row, however this time i had bad luck at FT, and ended up getting 6th. My first table, there was a plethera of talented players, somewhat nitty, but still for the place i was playing, they were some of the best ones there. A few hands before i was on the button with KK, had about 3 limpers and had just enough to shove and make everyone fold, picking up 4 bbs and a sb to put me into chipleader at the table. Then UTG i made what i thought was smart at the time, but looking back, no so smart. I was dealt ATdd, and after thinking about it, knowing there were nits at the table (after about 1hr 30 min, only 1 person had been knocked out at the table), so i decide to shove. I get 3 callers. QQ, KQhh, AKo,...i have them all covered, and the guy with AK couldn't make the blind when he shoved (he was dealer), and we rivered an A, for the win. He got 3 k and i had 28k. I go to my next table and within 3 hands 3 people have been eliminated at my new table, and i am the short stack at 25k...We quickly went to a FT, at i had AKo, with blinds at 4k 8k, and my stack is at 23, so i shove. The chick next to me calls with 18k, with a monsterous Q5hh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and turns a Q. =( I shove from utg 2 hands later with 45hh, spike a 4 on the flop, go out next hand with KQs *sigh* but hey, it's still 6th and a FT.

VEGAS FRIDAYYYYYYYYYYY! looking forward to partyin' it up LP!!!

Hi guys, its becoming apparent I won't be able to play the WSOP ME unless someone from LP can meet me somewhere in vegas and do a $10k PS transfer for $10k in cash

If I don't play in the ME, I will transfer all %'s back to peoples accounts before the 5th of the month, most likely on the morning of the 3rd. (can still can get in on the 4th, so with any hope of playing I will wait until the 4th to find out)

I e-mailed support@pokerstars.com about doing a wire transfer and how long this will take (i was assuming 1 day), and they said 72 hrs + up to 72 more hours of processing. (this is particularly annoying since I use Wells Fargo Bank (same bank that I receive most of my paychecks from)

So, if anyone knows any trustworthy high stakes players in vegas, I'd like to do a transfer with them to play in the ME (10k stars for 10k cash) or will be transfering %'s back

Either way, Thanks LP for your support and help to get in the event. Unfortunate how this happens, but u know how it goes

If I don't play in the WSOP ME, I will be playing some of the higher stakes Venetian deepstack tournaments coming up later this month and next month

Confirming twisted's 3% as well here ($285)

GL LP,
Hope I can get in

Best of luck to everyone else in the world series ME and in life

If I win this tournament, this is a $95 investment for around $70,000.

I'm peaking in MTT's and in my poker mindset.

This is war motherfuckers.

Does anyone else feel like their happiness is tied to their poker success? I'm pretty sure my happiness is based around any success in life, because that's all i strive for.

Also, i'm pretty sure im as close as someone can be to socially awkward and not be, everyone always loves me but I think it's because im drunk most of the time they are around and im a social animal drunk. I'm drunk right now and i love life. It makes me feel great when no reg will ever sit and play me shorthanded, it's like my only medicine when im losing. I've played 15k+ hands in the past 2-3 days and it's turning around but fuck, a few bad beats and I could be in shitsville again. My roommate couldn't find work and went to work in michigan and im all home alone. I've been with plenty of girls but the only one i ever cared about is coming to see me tomorrow and I hope i can convince her to stay with me.

I <3 lp I dunno where I would be without you guys, I'm buying everyone drinks in vegas next year so you better be there.

However, i am proud that i quit when and showed tilt control. What set me off is that every time i've shoved w/ JJ-AA, i've lost. 6 hands i've had JJ-AA, shoved pf or on flop, got called and got runnered/coolered etc. In previous blog i showed my AA vs KK, guy w/ KK flops a boat, and when i had KK, i went up against AA. Well last night i had aces twice, jacks, and queens... all are ahead, all get beat. I flop trips with my jacks, guy calls an all-in with Ah2d, catches two more hearts for nut flush. Same thing happened with AA, he had AJo, catches runner runner for a flush. This has happened four times last night, twice the night before, and 100% of the time when i have a big pocket pair and am ahead when i get it in *sigh*

I'm just glad i realized i was upset and playing out of my zone, so i quit. Today will be a better day indeed.

Also, my father said that if i can get 2.5k, he'll go 50/50 with me to get the truck that i want.
So with my two jobs...maybe mowing lawns or something... and hopefully pokerz, i can get 2.5k by august and it won't be sold. I'm also trying to save up for school and a new comptuer *sigh* daunting task. But hey, anything you put your mind to you can accomplish.

pissed about life shit but hey, on the e-tables, i doubled my br.
I decided that since 5nl and 2nl are the same (opponents skill wise) i'd play my entire br on 2 tables (i had ~6 dollars), i got it to 9 in about 300 hands or so...then i decided today that the best way to make monies is to 4 table. however, i didn't feel comfortable 4tabling 5nl with 9 dollars, so i split the money up evenly between 4 tables at 2nl. this worked, as i made profit on 2 of the tables, and busting out on the other two. I was up +7 on one table and +5 on the other. I also decided to play turbo tables only to get in more hands.

On the tables i busted out on... i got it in pf w/ kings, and the other dude turned up aces, they held.
On the other table... this is gay and pissed me off...i was playing heads up b/c the table died, and i realized it, but i was BB so i stayed in to play one more hand. I got AA. SB raises, i reraise, he 4bets, i shove, he calls... I'm thinking my aces are good hu right?? WRONG. flop is KJJ, he has KK, fml.

i need a vehicle *sigh*
i'm winning in vegas.

So if any of you have read my blog, I decided to accept the job offer after reading the contract, since it seemed excellent: experience-wise (for my future), moneywise, and developmentwise.

So we're gonna start off with a long distance relationship, its only an hour flight and if I manage to get the hang of the things quickly I might be able to work in Stockholm 3-4 days a week, and work 1-2 days in Malmö and live in my girlfriends apartment.

Pokerwise, might be going on a mtt staking deal.

Btw, does anybody know why pocketfives is missing some scores?


Here are some pics from midsummer in Sweden, 4 of my best friends and I held a party for about 20 people. The theme was "färgglatt med hatt" - which means "Colorful with a hat"

















run good, time for me to donk a tourney now, ill be back with a FT thread

I started this month with 7.5k in my cake account which isn't all of the money I have, but it's all the money im going to dedicate to it. I have money saved away for dire straits and some money invested to get familiar with it and for fun but enough ranting. My account has 3k now.

what the fuck is going on, im not playing irrationally, i'm not playing out of my br and im putting in huge hours now that im concerned about my well being considering ive been way irresponsible with poker up until now and never put in good hours and always made good money.

I hate it when people do this and I think for the most part people exaggerate but I'm almost positive if I take the time to look in HEM and prove it ive won one race in the past 10k hands, my big hands always lose to implied odds hands like 77 or 67s in crucial spots where I can't really fold etc and I'm not getting any action on any of my good hands that I'm definitely getting.

I really dont want to move down to nl50 but I need to cashout the minimum im gonna need to pay my bills/buy groceries and I dunno if I can do all of that. The only good thing in all of this is that i can't handle losing and i'll play 200k hands if that's what it takes to continue but fuck i hate my life right now. I really just want to go to bed and fuck my bitch that I don't have but instead im sobering up from going to the water with my friends today to handle losing 500 more and im gonna play poker. Thank lee jones for rakeback, it's the only thing I'm playing for.
