Been running veeeeeeeery well at 2/4, but I'm down at 3/6 (one buyin over a tiny sample :D) as a result of running QQ into AA, KK and JJ (that rivers a set zomg life tilt) and stuff like that. Pokertracker has me at 60% won at showdown, I think that's somewhat of a heater..
Gonna try to play more hands next month (it's actually not as lazy of a month as it looks like, I play 3-4 tables only nowadays , pulled more than one all nighter this month), especially HU. Would like to be able to take a few 5/10 shots over the summer (I want 50+ buyins before I try my hands on 5/10 I think, been going with 30+ since 2/5 but I feel 5/10 swings might affect me more).
Feel like I've been making some progress, in handreading, thinking correctly (or less incorrectly) in spots I used to not think through. Still need to work on some stuff (who doesnt) but still, I'm happy.
Oh and huge thanks to Day[9] for teaching me how to not spew money from patience tilt at HU ^_^

Btw how do people feel about flatting his open here? I'm not sure, I like it cause I sort of want to play AK vs a bigger stack but meh, nobody was very aggressive (I think the semi-big stack was more cally than raisy) at this table IIRC. I guess call and hope the other shortstack shoves so I can stack two donks with one hand..
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/455952 - How do people feel about cbetting this flop? I was gonna just c/give up here but turn came too perfect not to bluff yea? I'm not sure if I should be following through on the river here.
So today I move out of my apartment. I told the cleaning lady that I'd be packed up and all my stuff would be out by 2:00pm. Guess what! It's almost 12:00pm and I haven't done shit today. I have to haul my bed, desk, bike, surfboard, chair, and a few boxes of clothes over to the storage unit I rented. But I woke up at 7:00am this morning in a very sad mood ... I going to miss being in San Diego so much. I had such a fun year, and even though I know Vegas is going to be a blast for the next 2 months, I really am going to miss chilling with all my friends down here. WSOP for me starts on Saturday with the $1500 NLHE donk fest. Weeeee~!! That should be interesting. I'll try to keep my blog updated on a daily basis with pictures (once I get my camera fixed since it's having some lens issues right now).
RiKD finally gave me back my camera the other night and I got more pictures from our fun night out at Stingaree. Check out these gems:
RiKD, myself, and my two friends.
Me and my hawaiian friends! They so chill.
Finally more pics from my friend's graduation
Can you guess who isn't graduating this year?
Me and my best friend from SD at her grad dinner
This picture def needs a caption. LOL
At the end of the night I was smashed and I kind of went through my friend's stone table. Oops
And if you still don't know why I miss this place... check out 8:00am in the morning on Mission Bay. It really doesn't get more beautiful...
See you guys in Vegas! Hopefully I'll be there soon. Not too soon thou~

While playing around in pokertracker this morning trying to get some structure n shit for finally switching to PT3 I realized I have played just about 100k hands of HU on ipoker.
So, yeah. Here is my brag, although I do feel I can improve the current winrate by 1-2 ptbb cause Im really alot better now than I was 100k hands ago. And more importantly, Im more diciplined and calm while playing which is just sicksick huge in HU.
On another note, anyone else who thinks that "pahud suddenly malfunctioning" has to be a deliberate marketing trick to get the slow conservatives that still cling on to PT2 to finally switch onto PT3?
The timing just seem to good to be true.
Also, Usa never landed on the moon.
And 9/11 was a jewish conspiracy for world dominance.
I also enjoy making blog posts with flashy titles. Anything else you guys want to know about my life? May has been pretty good to me so far. Poker-wise, I'm doing average... I moved some money to FTP caz I got set up with a sick rakeback deal. In the 1st 3 days I had the most insane run at 2/4, making about 16k under my ID: COSMOWNED. Then I think I just got too cocky / started to run bad / started to play bad etc... caz over the past 2 weeks I've just been slowly bleeding away everything I won. Total, I'm up around 7.5k for the month in cash games which I'm definitely content about.
In all other aspects of my life, I continue to run like the lord Jesus Christ. I'm pretty sure I can walk on water, I just need to go out and try it tomorrow and prove to you guys that I can. With the exception of some retarded drama between a few of my friends, this month has really been the most memorable month of the year for me.
If anyone wants to photoshop my smile, here is your chance
Reggae Conerts! - My Hawaiian friend has introduced me to the insanely chill world of reggae music. Here is a clip that I took from my camera at Canes in San Diego / Mission Beach:
Song: Attention Span Artist: Rebelution
Mid-May our good friend (and fellow LPer) Richard Dayton known better in these circles as RiKD, decided he was going to come out to San Diego and live with Myth & FrinkX til WSOP time. Last week we all went out to get a table at Stinagree, needless it say it was a pretty fucking sweet night:
Pre-puking RiKD - In fine form if I do say so myself, trying to spit his game at one of my friends. Later on in the night was not so glamorous for our solider.
[vital]Myth...
...Expressed his love for me
Oh boy... Might make this my new facebook profile picture
After Stingaree closed we met up with Markus and Theo Tran, which was funny since Markus informed Theo that I had 4 bet bluffed him with T9 in the $2500 event I got 3rd in at the Bellagio Cup. Theo is definitely a fun guy with a good sense of humor thou. Around 2:30am, RiKD proceeds to puke all over the couch we were sitting on, along with all over FrinkX's shirt and shoes that he had loaned him. We get the boot and my 2 friends drag me into this car with this girl:
So I'm sitting there in her car as she is driving, thinking to myself that this girl looks really familiar, even though I had never met her in my entire life... She says her name is EV, and I think I cracked a poker joke assuming these 3 girls would get it. Epic fail. Besides the point though, I finally just ask her why she looks familiar and my friends look at me with a crazed looked and proceed to inform me she was on Real World / Road Rules challenge (like the Inferno and the Gauntlet) which aired on MTV. Oh hey that makes a lot of sense! She was SUPER down to earth thou, really one of the most real people that I've met down in SD so far. She was even nice enough to go completely out of her way to drop off me and my friend in Mission Valley.
I really love random things that happen like that. Ok last picture for this post:
The night before two of my best friends graduate from USD. Definitely makes me regret not working harder in school, because they are just so set and sure of what they are going to do with their lives and I'm sitting here feeling a little lost sometimes. I'm not complaining though! I got more good pics on my camera but RiKD and I seemed to have swapped our Cannon Elf's that we got from the FPP store so when I get that back from him I'll make another blog post. OK now! To the main part of this blog post:
WSOP is coming up! And I do indeed get a little chub every time I think of it. My plan is to leave the morning of the 30th and stay at the Wynn for two nights with my roommate Thomas Gabriel (aka plzlemmewin on FTP, GoGators86 on PS / UB). He's really one of the most humble / nicest people I've ever met, and I've been constantly helping him with his poker game for the past year. The improvements he has made have been insane, and so now he's one of peachy's horses for the WSOP. I really can't wait for the 31st, which is the first NLHE $1500 event. The field / prize pool is expected to be insane, so... RUN GOOD ONE (MORE) TIME!!!

Being the life nit that I am I played only 2/4 HU for my first session today. I played 4 tables while watching apathys new HU vid on leggpoker.
As Im grinding the nitlife out a familiar face sits down on two tables. Hes a guy I have played a couple of sessions against on 2/4 and 3/6 and he just lifetilts me so much. Last two sessions I have played against him he ran hot in the beginning and I got really frustrated and dropped more cash on him. He is very passive, stationy and tight preflop. I real nightmare to play when you are down money and frustrated so I have probably dropped like 3k total to him in a few days.
Today though, I felt really calm, collected and was playing really good. I just decided I wouldnt let him get a lead on me early on so I just could abuse his nittyness and frustrate him into monkey tilt.
It started out really well, I grindend him down a couple of hundred bucks on both tables and finally stacked him at one. Just as this is happening I hear apathy on the video talking about how you should take shots in passive HU games even though you are not rolled for them and how you shouldnt just grind one limit like a retard(like me).
Just as apathy speaks this truth the now notably frustrated passive fuckbag asks me If i want to play 3/6 instead. I obv accept having momentum and just having a huge edge on him in general. When I accept to play 3/6 he instantly wants to play 5/10 which im not really comfortably rolled for but I say, wtf apathy I trust your wisdom.
We end up playing one table of 3/6 and one 5/10 and I just stomp him to no end at 5/10. He was tilted and made some really bad plays, I played very solid and ran good ship it!
May is going really well and if nothing terrible happens it will be my best month in a long long time. Its a fucking relief after grinding like a madman for alot of months and really putting in some serious fucking effort but still just ending up with mediocre/bad results.
Been kinda busy in school and stuff so I havent updated in a while. We are doing a video course right now and its awesome! We are making 3 short films and its really fun although it takes up alot of my time.
April was an ok month for me, didnt play as much as I wanted to but ran decent for the later half of the month after a disastrous start.
April total:
I have played even less in May, mostly because of school but also cause I sorta havent felt like playing until recently. Im ok with it though since I will be able to play a TOOON during June. I really need to split my roll over several sites though because I have some trouble getting good action at 3/6 hu on ipoker. Theres just alot more fish at 2/4 and I find myself sitting and waiting sometimes for like 30 min before someone comes along and wants to play me at 3/6.
neways, results may so far:
So summer is coming and im fucking stoked. I will be able to play a ton and just hang out with friends and do baller/fun/relaxing stuff. Havent really decided If Im going to vegas yet, I dread the 14 hour flight but I had an awesome time last year so maybe I will go after all. We will have to wait and see.
I havent updated in a while because Im lazy and I have been really busy. Havent played much at all during may, mostly because of school but I also havent really felt like playing and I dont want to play unless I really feel like it because I tend to play really bad otherwise.
Anyways, logged some hands today and Im still completely in love with weekends. I managed to find two pretty bad players who bought in full and rebought when losing and I put both of them on massive monkey tilt resulting in some good results and a solid winrate.
I guess Ill have to make a bigger update later, I dont really have time now cause I need to go get drunk asap.
+900 today playing 2/5 and 1/2 and .5/1 HU (dropped 3 buyins to huge coolers, doh), I ran like teh sungod incarnate @ 1/2 (running like god at 1/2 is stnd for me :D as opposed to HU).
Day was sweating me during the HU which totally rocked since I realized huge patience leaks for me, alas, even good play can't prevent total coolers like trips vs boat
No HU hands cause my PT is weird and won't actually open the hands.. but, -301$ in 177 hands.
Ahhhh it feels great to be back in the green, and I've logged a very nice amount of hands this month (playing between 1 and 6 tables, mostly 3-4 I guess). Not the kind of huge amounts I played in december but still, 1k a day or thereabout is an amount I'd love to keep up.
Also tried to play some PLO (microstakes obv, nl25) earlier today which didn't go too well (I'm a fish(, if anyone has any recommendations for good PLO primer vods or reading feel free to link me.
Well my birthday is on May 8th, so it's not really my birthday yet, but last weekend we decided to celebrate it anyways mainly because it's the end of the school semester for everyone down here and shit is getting busy. So last Saturday me and a bunch of my friends met up at this sushi place called Mizu's in Mission Beach and then went off to Ivy downtown for a pretty shippin' night. Since this year has been so amazing for me already, and I'm up almost x2 as much as I made all of last year I decided this was the night to go totally degen and spew on. So spew #1: The night before I called up my best friend from Hawaii and asked him what he was up to, he said nothing so I told him to come to my birthday party. He's like wat, how am I going to get out there? So I ship him a $1300 roundtrip ticket, and he flys his ass out here. Spew #2: Saturday morning I'm calling around trying to book a party bus for the night but every place I call had been booked for weeks. I totally had no clue you had to book party buses so far in advance. In Vegas you can just call up anywhere and they insta ship you whatever you want. San Diego is not Vegas I guess So I spend like 2 hours calling up all these limo places trying to find something that will take us downtown and finally one of the last places I call, they pick up and tell me that a party had canceled their reservation for a 20 passenger party bus 2 hours before I called. How good do I run? Honestly... does anyone run better than me at anything? Finally, I call up my boy Markus (LURPED) and he calls up his VIP hook-ups downtown and books a sweet table on the rooftop at Ivy for $3k. After that, the rest of the night happened as follows:
Dinner at Mizu's - Anyone like the tie? Goes good with the $600 Armani shirt I wearing yeah?
Me and Mah Boy - Spending exactly 12 hours in San Diego before going back to school on Monday. LOL Sickest spew of life
Me and Mah Girls - 3 of my closest friends down here
Me and Mah Group - There are people missing from the pic But lol fun times
Btw, bottle service is a lot cheaper than in Vegas in downtown San Diego... like we were struggling to get close to the 3k minimum even after ordering a bottle of Cristal and Dom. Needless to say, Sunday morning was... painful.

3 KK vs AA today (but hey, I sucked out once!!!!!)
0 x AA vs KK, 0 x AA vs QQ, 0 x KK vs QQ
2 pair never good
Set always run into straight or get drawn out on
Turns are always super gross, either the worst double barrel card in the deck or completes 5 draws at once.
So annoyed right now. Moving down, cause I can't take this anymore and I'm approaching having only 25 buyins for 2/5 (I have 13k something).
Mostly just a cold as fuck deck, people hitting every single draw, people never folding when I don't have anything, people always folding when I do............
The usual stuff.
If you want to see hands I posted a bunch but I'm not going to link them up right now, too tired.
It's a shitty 3rd day back to poker tho -_- Should probably not have played that 2nd session (was at -2k around 11:30 pm, decided to play some more after I had eaten) tho.
Been grinding online once again, trying to log in enough hands this month so I can keep my supernova status going on PokerStars. It's really weird to be grinding online again after playing in some of the softest games ever in Vegas. Been doing fairly well for the most part. Today I decided to be a semi-tournament donk and entered the Sunday Million ($530) and my first WSOP Main Event package satellite. The Sunday Million went as usual, I got about 2 hours deep in it then got a bad beat to lose half my stack and proceeded to think it was a good idea to just punt off my last 15bb's instead of waiting for a hand like I am suppose to. Whatever. My main event satellite went a little bit better...
Ship it? Sucked out early to stay alive (K9 vs AQ), and from there all my hands held. For the last hour and a half of the tournament I had yellowsub86 with the chip lead to my direct left. It was gross, since once he got a hold of a big enough chip lead he started to open shove every hand for shits and giggles. The bubble lasted a solid 30+ minutes, and finally ended when it was folded around to the small blind who was the shortest stack at the table as he shoved right into my QQ. Sickest hold ever ftw~! Cool thing about this entire thing is that peachy is still going to be staking me for the main event (he's staking me for the entire WSOP series) so I get to pocket the cash. Sweet bankroll booster.
Other than that, things have been chill in my life. I surfed around today and found that I am still in the top 100 Player of the Year on Cardplayer.com, ranked 54th for Bluff Magazine's Player of the Year, and I'm 39th in Bluff Magazine's "Hot" Players. Reminds me of the my starcraft days when I use to care about my ladder rankings on WGTour. Hopefully WSOP will boost me up these "ladders". One last thing before I go...
Shakira is stupid hot. The way she can move herself is totally super sexy.

... I going to miss being in San Diego so much. I had such a fun year, and even though I know Vegas is going to be a blast for the next 2 months, I really am going to miss chilling with all my friends down here. WSOP for me starts on Saturday with the $1500 NLHE donk fest. Weeeee~!! That should be interesting. I'll try to keep my blog updated on a daily basis with pictures (once I get my camera fixed since it's having some lens issues right now).
