Not a half bad morning as standard ran over NL5 blind folded. 8878 hands at NL5 6max and up $133.23(over the course of this 3day weekend, just for clarification)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/377777 Been getting a lot of hands like this. Half the times they have trips, other half they over playing top pair or a complete bluff.
So it's "Super Tuesday" and I'm endorsing Barack Obama (haha as if I'm someone who matters! lmao). Why? Cause I'm a poker player. Because I'm sick of the "Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton" cycle that is at risk of continuing. Because I think Bush and the Republicans have turned a great country into a joke country. Because I know that Hillary will unite Republicans against her and create more hatred than healing. Because I want change. Because I believe he is genuine, honest and true.
For those of you who care, I'll bother to go through and list my reasons for all of those things.
Because I'm a Poker Player:
When you look at all of the Presidential candidates, of the front runners Obama is the best for poker. Mcain and Romney are strongly against it because they want to appeal to the conservative cockmongers. Hillary is in the middle and not strongly either way, but does have a history of attacking video games and other internet based entertainment. But Obama, now he is actually a poker player, and supposedly pretty good. He's openly talked about poker and told stories about playing. He understands our game and would by far be the most poker friendly president.
Because I'm Sick of the Bush-Clinton Cycle
Think about it... in the last 20 years 2 families have run the USA. What's up with these dynasty's? We had Bush senior, then Bill, then Junior, and if Hillary wins we'll be right back into the cycle. How can she be a candidate for change? And how can she be such a champion for health care when she already tried once and failed, even with full presidential support? There were good things about the Clinton era but at the end of the day it was more of the same political BS. The way Bill handled himself in South Carolina shows us how they really feel... he even said that this wasn't dirty at all, and if you're comparing what he did to the days of old, it was nothing. But that's the point - we're sick of the old BS and want SUBSTANCE rather than attack ads. But the Clinton's don't get it. And if they can't control Bill right now, how the hell will they control him when he's in the White House, again? I don't think he's going to sit around baking cakes.
Because I think Bush and the Repub's Have turned the USA into a Joke
I travel a lot. I've been to over 10 different countries as a 23 years old. When I was younger during the Clinton era and I traveled I got nothing but "You're American, I love America!" type of comments. Now I get things like "What, are you here to start a war?" and non-stop resistance from anyone I try to work with cause they think that I'm just another American asshole who wants to impose his will on everybody else. We're not respected anymore and it's very sad. We don't lead on world issues but rather become outcasts. We create more problems than we fix. I know that we have done a lot of bad shit in the past, but rather than going away from it and becoming better, the Bush Junior years have lead us to doing worse things than we ever did before. Iraq was a huge mistake, we abandoned Afghanistan, and I sure as hell don't think we're any safer than we were before. I've written papers on this issue and don't want to retype them here, but if you wanna hear my in depth reasons PM me and I'll send ya my reports.
Because I know that Hillary will unite the Republicans and Create Hatred
Republicans hate the Clintons. Why do you think that there was sooooo much drama around the Monica Lewinsky shit? Cause Bill had been pissing the Republicans off for years and they'd been waiting for any chance to tear him apart. They caught a thread and tried to pull it till the sweater unraveled, as Weezer said to do (hold this thread, as I walk awayyyyy). There are already groups out there who are preparing attack ads aimed at Hillary, doing research trying to find any little thing they can use. If Hillary gets the nomination the Republican party will unite against her. If Barack gets it, there will be more people willing to give him a chance and work with him. This point is so important. We have to understand the hatred they have for the Clinton family. The best way to get the Republicans to unite and fight together in the general election is to give them Hillary to fight against.
Because I want Change
A black man with 4 years of Washington experience sounds a hell of a lot better than a woman who's been sucked into DC for the last 16 years. He worked on the streets helping people who lost their jobs instead of doing everything he could to make the big bucks when he was younger. As a kid he got high, got drunk, and partied, and then he grew up and got over it, leaving that behind. He understands where we're coming from but also managed to do it without becoming a drunk driving coke head like Bush was. And he was honest about it from the start, never throwing any "I didn't inhale" lines out but admitting to what he did. He has been true in sticking by a new style of politics focused on message, vision and hope rather than cynicism, hatred and tearing each other down. He isn't in any lobbyists pockets and doesn't owe any favors as he is new to Washington. And he listens to what the people want.
Because I believe he is genuine, honest and true.
Obama came to Colorado a few days ago and for the first time in my life, I voluntarily went to a political rally. I wasn't the only one as there were lines for blocks in 2 directions going away from the hall. Inside it was like a party as people danced and cheered, and a huge amount of people there and on his staff were young folk like me. And for once they were young people who cared enough to do something. When Obama came out you could see on his face how much he believed in what he was doing, and how much he appreciated our support. He was strong and confident, yet humble and honest. He was visionary and while he said the obvious things that any good politician should, he also took it to another level and said the right things even though a politician often shouldn't. After reading his site, watching his speeches, and then seeing him in person, I am convinced that he is for real and that he intends to carry through with everything he says. And what he says is awesome.
Obama is changing the political map by bringing people like me out to the polls. I am not a big voter but tomorrow night (or tonight depending on when you read this) I am going to Caucus in Colorado. I'm excited to go and meet other Obama supporters, and I really hope that the precinct I go vote in becomes a win for Obama. He's getting lots of first time voters out to support him. But we gotta get out there. The old farts are great about voting cause they have nothing else to do, and they understand that their vote does affect their lives. We're young and think that it doesn't matter. If Bush has taught us anything it is that it DOES matter. And for once we're being given a choice for a real person in the white house rather than just more of the same. If there was ever a time to get out and vote, it is now. If you're with me and support Obama, please get out there Today (TUESDAY) and cast your vote. It counts.
-15 buy-in downswing / recoveryby T8Suited, February 05
So one day (last Friday) I decided to play poker and poker Gods decided to deprive me of whatever little poker intelligence that I had. Results: Worst session evah! 511 hands 21/17/4 -$555.2 -54.32 PTBB
Next in line http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/377528 KQ Opponent was an avid 3-bettor preflop that's the only reason I called and then I flopped those stupid 2 pairs
Finally I decided to quit after this hand http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/377530 65d I got extra outs on turn, but it became HOTW material for my opponent.
Saturday. Longest session evah, as I tried to atone for my tilty Friday session. 4282 hands 20/13/2.8 -$74.45 -0.87 PTBB. Hands are listed chronologically
And then this hand happens http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/377534 42d HOTW. For my opponent. I didn't like him very much, and I thought playing 200BB deep would slow him down, but instead he pwned me good
And then I decided that I have to bluff off another stack http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/377543 AQh Reraised pot, had a few outs, but at the end it was smash head against wall time
And finally a productive session tonight (Monday): 1687 hands, 19/12/3.4, $732.10, 21.70 PTBB/100. And I was 8-tabling, too. 4 more than what I usually play.
Even though results were good I played quite scared tonight. At one table there were 2 really aggro players trying to run over me with preflop reraises EVERY SINGLE TIME. And then there was nutshot2 making plays at me at 2 of my tables. What did I do to you? Why do you have to target me?
And at this table SSDEX and Cookeman were taking turns trying to run over me. At one point I was playing so tentative that I folded KJs UTG and folded AT on the button. In any event I got the last laugh against SSDEX. Twice: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/377510 QQ "Perhaps he's got AK instead" http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/377511 KK "Perhaps he's really got AK this time"
also had aces vs kkk rivered too. can't find it in my tracker. but i just kept cool because I thought to myself..."I can do this all night! coz I'm rolled muthafuckaz! lol" so i played solid poker then ended up 2bi.
moral of story:
practice br management and you'll do fine
Another shot at NL10 after patching up the BR with a quick NL5 stomping. 1500hands of break even play at NL10 only to run into rivered trips vs another big stack dropping me 2.5Buy-ins. GG v_v
Basically Tom Brady can nominate himself as one of the biggest chokes in sports history. Eli Manning on the other hand...
Eli Manning is like... amazing. How clutch was that play during the Giant's winning drive on Sunday? Underdogs for the win! Anyways, speaking of football, my friend just sent me a link to this video:
CLICK COMMENTS IF YOU CAN'T SEE VIDEO
1994 High School football game between Plano East and John Tyler (apparently high schools in Texas). With 3 minutes left in the game the score is 41-17 in favor of John Tyler. This video is... fucking hilarious from start to finish. A must watch if you love football! "God bless those kids... I am sick, I want to throw up"
just kidding i run horribly, typical day of losing 80/20's, especially close to the bubble although a couple hands i did come behind (for example, JA v k9 on k69 board owned). but overall i'm down about a good.... $25 today. played maybe 10-15 MTTs
p.s. why does liquid poker put a period in between some words...like player
