Poker Blogs

This tourney will have MASSIVE ROI for anyone competent, so I'm going to be giving out $40 stakes to trustworthy LP members at 80/20 in my favor. Ship me a PM or put a message on here if you're interested. If you have a low number of posts it'd be great if you could get someone to vouch for your trustworthiness. I'm looking to stake about 20 people.

Hello all, long time no blog! Have had a few people asking me to update my blog and it sounded like a good idea. Have had a few interesting past couple of months IMO and an even more interesting past few weeks.



RELATIONSHIP

I have wrote about my girlfriend in the last few blogs of mine. As was inevitable since the beginning of all relationships that have existed things are now over. It took me a few days to actually put 2 and 2 together but it all became clear while I was working out. She was just a gold digging bitch. Here is what happened, when we originally started dating I felt amazing! 33k prop bet win, +20k up swing from the tables, all time record high in terms of money for me. We went out to alot of nice restaurants, went to concert, took a trip to Palm Springs, everything was pretty good. Then end of December/January I went on massive losing swing. At the end of which I was left with a pretty low amount of money . Now Lindsay knew I was losing alot from poker but she never totally had an idea about my finances and just assumed I still had a bunch of money. 2 days before we breakup, I explain just how serious/depressing it was for me to have lost so much money and that I didn't think I was in a good enough finanical state to move in with her. She had talked to me that week about the possibility of moving in together after about 1 month being BF/GF and a few months of dating. She assured me, I don't like you for your money/this wont make a difference/blah blah, bs bs bs, im a whore, etc...

Sure enough 2 days later she says she is starting to rethink things and she might still have feelings for her ex-boyfriend and it isn't fair to me for us to be in a relationship if she still has feelings for him. At first I was like okay cool story bro, this seems all randomly odd, where is this coming from. Honestly a part of me was pretty excited at the potential of being single though but then a few days later it hit me!! I had just had the talk with her 2 days before and then all of a sudden this happens!!!??? I guess you live and you learn, I actually feel like I learned a little bit from dating someone older/more mature but in the end I remembered that all women are whores in some form!


San Diego Dating Challenge


It took me a few days/week but I decided it was time to get over it. I decided that since I really didn't make many new friends, because of having a girlfriend, I would make new friends and meet as many people as I could. I started just saying hello to all the people I come upon that live in my massive complex and in a few days I met someone to play basektball with and a few girls to hang out with. I was pretty amazed at how far some conversations have gotten just by saying "Hey, whats up". Sure some people look at me like I am a fucking wierdo but overall I engage in some cool convo's.

For the people who go on 2p2, alot of people followed my 30 dates, 30 days dating challenge I tried to do back home in Indiana. This thread was wildly popular and included pictures/videos/trip reports from all the dates! Ultimatly someone spoiled the fun by sending out messages to all the people on my facebook that I was being some sort of predator.

The reason I originally did something like this was just to show that people who grind poker for a living can indeed pick up/date woman out there and hopefully I could provide some inspiration to the many lazy poker players out there and help there women lives! Also it was super fun to do!



Well now I live in San Diego and I really don't give a fuck if they send that message out again, most of the people on my FB I will never see again and the ones I will are just going to LOL at it. I am now ready to conquer the online dating world in San Diego 30/30 style. I don't have an exact time period I am going to start this but I will be supplying trip reports/pictures/videos most likely thru this blog and with a thread on 2p2. This will be easier for me to edit posts if necessary for any reason. In prepartion for this I have been hitting the gym super hard and changing up my diet from fast food 3 times a day to on special occasions. My results I have been seeing have been pretty awesome so far and the bod is getting pretty solid. The type of women I hope to attract for this type of thing will surely appreciate work I am putting in. My lower abs/sides could use some more work especially but I am hoping a better diet will have a good affect.

I actually logged onto my dating site of choice tonight to edit up my profile a bit and see what is out there. I honestly can say there are probably 100x more women to choose from and wayyy better looking ones on average compared to back home. Also it is pretty beneficial that most live so close to me out here compared to 45 mins-1 hour away before. Will keep updated on this front but I did get a chance to send a message or two out tonight, I give you a sample one that I just couldn't resist sending. Will let you all know how this works out lolol

Hey xxxxx,


I was going to send you a message and tell you I just wanted to "hit it and quit it" but then I noticed that I shouldnt keep reading about you if those are my intentions. I would love to get to know you though, you seem sweet.

Joey

POKER

Poker has actually been pretty interesting/horrible the past few months. As those of you who read my blog/look at my PTR (almost 110k views somehow) I have lost alot of fucking money. It was about -55k in a matter of only a few weeks. Now I can contribuite alot of this to running horrible at PLO/playing awful but it wasn't until the breakup I realized how much mental capacity I was devoting to the relationship. I don't think that is a coincedence that since we ended things I am 17 winning sessions 2 losing sessions. I did take a few days off after and kinda regrouped mentally, ever since that I have been doing super well. I am currently being staked for nl100/200 and am actually down a good amount in makeup because of last months bad results. I am hoping that if I can continue on with my playing well/good results/running slightly better that I will be out of this in no time!! Stay positive!

As far as SuperNova Elite pursuit goes, I am still on the fence about it. I could still be in striking distance of pace if I can pick it up this month but I honestly do not know if I can do it. Has been hard for me to flip the switch on into grind machine knowing that It is impossible for me to get back to having as much money as I did just 2 months ago. I got to experience that feeling of having 60k+ and to be honest it wasn't much different then having 10k+. I still buy the same shit I would have bought but was just playing a higher limit/having bigger swings. I honestly don't think having that much more money made me anymore happier about life and actually provided me more stress with thougths of "I need to make more money, i want to hit 100k". Hopefully when I grind my bankroll back up I will not make this same mistake again and choose to actually do something productive with my funds. Time will tell.......



Life in General


Overall I must say life is pretty good right now. I live in San Diego, the weather is still pretty awesome! I started playing basektabll again and finally making some friends out here. Am starting to win again at poker and have more then enough money to live life and be happy for the moment. Hopefully things will continue on the up and up!! As always thanks to all for reading


VPP Count= 86,000

In other news I just got back from playing basketball. a fat little 8 yr old thai kid wanted to play w/ me, so i let him. next thing i know 3 other little thai kids showed up n wanted to play, so it made teams (me + fat kid vs 3 thai 7 yr olds)

i owned them so hard the 3 thai kids didnt want to play after 10 mins. def a huge ego boost after losing 35 buyins to fish. LOL

I saw a 4 FPP turbo buyin and decided to play it since I was bored. First place entered me into a 200 FPP buyin satellite. Following that satellite I won an entry into a 500 FPP and finally the next entry entered me into a $30 buyin satellite for the NAPT Venetian qualifier. I was pretty nervous playing this satellite considering there were unlimited $30 rebuys for 90 min. I actually did really well and did not have to rebuy once with the exception of a last minute addon for 30,000 chips right before the rebuy period ended.

I ended up placing 6th place for a prize of $700! I really would have loved to win first place since the prize was $1,100. The prize also included a $5,890 entry to potentially win a tournament buy-in, hotel accommodation and expenses to NAPT Venetian event

Oh well! 4 FPP to $$$$$ = awesomeness

i sit down. i'm wearing slippers and my hoodie is unzipped and my hair is a mess. i stink. the monkey tilt is pouring out of me.

she is sitting adjacent. she looks at my feet.

"i'm having a bad day." i smile.

she smiles back. i regard her with the cool. late 40s, early 50s. hair impeccably prepared. downtown account payables clerk, probably. it's 8am or so, and i notice that she is holding her right wrist up in the air.

it doesn't look right. i look her in the eye. she smiles.

our names are called. we walk to the loading station for xray. we are lockstep; how did that happen?

unbidden, she tells me that i don't have to explain myself to anyone. i consider how it would have gone had i simply sat down, looked each person dead in the eye, then resumed calculating whatever i had ended up sitting and calculating irrespective of previous events. she is right. we're still walk "yes," is what i end up saying.

we sit down, adjacent, but closer. i smile at her, and she smiles back.

"so, what happened to your wrist?"

it's the same old story. she had her left hand in her purse while walking. she slipped and her right arm came down knuckles first. triple compound jam fracture.

"wow."

"i didn't even feel it. i just went to work. a couple hours later i started to feel it burn. then i knew something was wrong."

i learned later that the burning sensation is the bone marrow entering the bloodstream and the immune system attacking it.

"and here i thought i was tough." she cracks a broad grin and responds. "you are."

i tell her about my day so far. i tell her what i think it will do to my confidence and how my sense of daring will suffer as a result.

"bad things happen, you can't go through life expecting for everything to be 100% perfect all the time. just have faith that tomorrow will be good."

i take it in, then ask her when her injury happened. i ask her because i'm thinking that any surgeon with half a brain would have put steel plates in at first glance.

"3 weeks." she stops. i look her dead in the eye. she knows that i know.

she gives it up. cancer. chemo. depleted heart tissue. given X. her heart grew back. she beat it. she survived.

she doesn't need to tell me that she had a bone marrow transplant. i consider the ramifications. we sit in silence.

she starts talking about her kids, pop culture, yknow, small talk. she tells me about god, and how her faith is what saved her, her eyes clear, her voice steady. i consider the possibility that god has sent me this woman at exactly the worst day of my life for exactly this reason. i cannot totally discount the possibility. i explain why i think there's a small possibility that i've lost my mind today. she tells me that everything will be ok, to have faith.

i ask her what her name is. she tells me. i tell her william, although the rest of the universe calls me will, or casper, or sawseech, or fucking prick, or whatever.

we decide that we should be friends and exchange #s. here we are, both without a right hand, and with 0 pens. me being who i am, i beg her leave and begin to methodically seek out a pen in the most reasonable way possible. i locate a pen, and it's a good one. i tell dude that i'll brb, he believes me even though i look like a psych patient and he clearly needs it. i return.

she is wiping her eye. i sit down and we exchange numbers in a highly unothodox manner.

i tell her about my love for the work of richard pryor. i tell her about tariq, and how proud i am of him. i tell her about the recovery nurse and her insta shittest, and the resultant chop. i cry.

i explain how difficult it is for me to cede control. she understands. i cry again. she cries. some chinese guy in the corrider sees me crying, the top of the food chain 5'11 asian, crying and looks at me. i look him dead in the eye. he looks away.

we sit in silence for awhile. others arrive, and janet seems to appreciate the diversion. i sit and calculate.

she goes in for her xray. she comes out, and the look on her face says it all. i consider offering a hug, but we are now beyond hugs, or gls, or friendly smiles. she nods her head and leaves. i wonder what the fuck i'm going to do now.

i go in for my xray and have my dna damaged for the sake of what i already know, deep in my heart. the results follow soonafter. there is absolute 0 change in the count and position of the sutures.

i stand up and do what i consider to be the next most reasonable course of acion. i considered the possibility of going home to change my clothes but, if anything, shrinks are highly reasonable people. they'll understand.

i move forward, my head high, my steps steady.

-william

I'm down another 6BIs today. Feeling like shit and want to move back to NL5. My nuts just cant seem to hold for 2 streets, especially against those faggot flush draws. Losing both AA vs KK and KK vs AA. The only thing positive about today was hitting the 31,667 millionth hand and scoring around 92$.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/0dc8d.asdf.png

Probably should have stopped after 3500th hand. Please stop the downswing.

So for fun I joined plentyoffish.com a free online dating site. Browsed a bit for a few days, got lots of fat chicks sending me messages too. But I saw a chick I was interested in and we had this conversation. She seems like an arrogant twat and I can't seem to understand her. Help me out, is she interested or not? I think she is not.

HER PROFILE: " :::::::::::TIP:::::::: Don't shower me with flattery right off the bat. It makes me feel like you're trying to kiss my ass or just trying to get into my pants, and its just kinda off putting for me. If you want to get in good with me you need to make me laugh and simulate my mind first. Once I've warmed up to you, then its Ok to flatter me.

With that said....Lets continue, shall we?


Hello! My name is Melissa."

ME:

Well, you stated explicitly that you do not want to be flattered. So I guess it is copacetic to say its pretty absurd to note the list of do-nots you have before your actual description. Great. Maybe that is enough of a personality description standing alone?

Haha, anyway, I am just giving you a hard time because I think .... you like it at first? Or something? I do have to say that I just joined this site a couple days ago and have not been interested in almost anybody, but I am interested in you!

So yeah, check out my profile and see if you like or dislike. I would very much like to get a message back.



HER: Well...I'm glad I interested you. But I think its mostly the mystery of me you want to crack.

From reading your profile, you say you like shy girls at first? Lol...If that really is the case I'm sorry to say that I'm totally not shy..at all. Truth is most men are intimated by me.

I must thank you though. You read my profile! Hardly anyone does that. So thanks.

Me: I cannot decipher most of which is written in your message.

So I can't tell if you are interested back at all because mostly all I got was you think you are a special mystery and intimidate men(even though you are a 5'1 cutie pie), but you thank me for reading your profile. Strange. But if you are actually interested I can more than handle strange lol.

HER: I think you're looking to much into it.


ME: k, courtesy response, ic .... gl gl

HER: Lol...are you always this over analytical?



Anyways, I am thinking about telling her that I still can't tell if she is interested but I don't care because she sounds like a twat either way. But her pictures are of a pretty cute little girl with perky tits and dark hair so I wanted it, damn.
