Played the biggest pot of my life tonight at 5/10. Started the session in a 5 handed game w/ my roommate Pavel. I stacked the guy to my left and he quickly got up from the table after that. Another guy left, and it was 3 handed with Pavel, myself and this tournament pro named Anna Wroblewski:
So they moved Pavel and me and Anna played heads-up for a few minutes. She played... like a tournament player. What can I say? Folding was not in her bag of tricks. She got value-towned fairly easily. So anyways, she gets moved to a main table and a few minutes later I follow her to the same table. I proceed to see the following hands:
Hand #1:
Anna limps utg, there is a raise from a young kid to $50, active young kid on the button makes it $200. Folded back around to Anna who makes it $500. Original raiser folds, active kid calls. Flop comes 5-J-Q rainbow. She bets $700 into a $1100ish pot. Active kid calls. Turn comes a 7. She checks, active kid shoves for $3,000. She calls and has 75o... and it's good vs this active kid's AQ. Pow! Ship a big pot to Anna.
Hand #2:
Anna raises in earlier position. Gets 5 callers. Flop comes 9d-5c-6d, she bets, there is a call, then a super nit raises to $300 with 2 players left behind him. Folded around to Anna, she calls, and so does the other guy in between. Turn comes Ks, she checks, other guy checks, and super nit bets all-in for $1800 into a $1200 pot. Anna says something along the lines of "Am I good enough to fold this? No... I call" So she calls, and the other guy folds. River bricks with 7s. Anna tables AdKd, and super nit obviously has 87.
Now the hand vs me:
Anna straddles UTG, there is 5 callers, I complete in the big blind with KsQs, she defends her straddle and raises to $100. Gets 2 callers, I call. Flop comes Kc-Qd-9s. I check, Anna bets $300. Super donk calling station calls. This is where I might have made a mistake. I have $2500 behind at this point. I make it $1000 to go. Anna gives me a 10 second stare down and says "All-in". Super donk insta folds, and I barf. I count out my chips and I have $1500 behind. I then look at her and give her the "I think I should fold. If you have me beat here it is such a cooler because you're retarded." Then I called. I asked her if she had JT, she nodded. Sick life. Turn and river bricks off and she tables JT and rakes the pot. So gross...
I should have just reloaded and played on like a real solider, but the pain of losing a $6k pot to a tourney donk was just a little too much to handle so I walked it off for a bit. I'm like so bitter right now...
RAINKHAN HAS FINAL TABLED THE MAIN EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding. Im not going to play cashgames for a couple of days since I apparently blow at em and keep getting owned. I am, however, going to play all the big sunday tours tommorow. I think its fair to donate some money to the tourney donks that pay my bills and who knows, I might get lucky and win something.
<3
OH, and GO RAIN! I sincerely wish him all the best, go on and win it man you deserve it!
Uhm, so I got completely pwnd yesterday on 5/10. Some of you might have seen my session review post in the high stakes forum. I dont as bad today though, ill just have to get back to the grind. Oh, and pokerev pre beta is finally up. Really cool software, now I can actually get a graph of me running bad
awell whatever, atleast I didnt tilt yesterday and that I am really proud off.
Im so psyched for rainkhan dozin in the main event! He is such a randomly funny guy and it would be awesome for poker in general if he wins. Who wouldnt wanna watch rain rant and sing about random things at the final table? GOO RAIN!
This hand happened in a home game we played a few weeks ago. I never got a chance to blog about it, but now i have internet so its about time i put this up in a post.
This post was inspired by captzeebo's post about the biggest pot he ever won. If youve never seen it, i highly suggest checking it out here: http://captzeebo.supok.net/ Click the link from 2006-10-27 titled the biggest pot of my life. Without a doubt the single greatest poker blog post in the history of the internet.
We were playing 7 handed for most of the night in a 1/2 NL game with a 1 dollar ante and 600 buyin. The players were me, chris/genius28, steve/xtbcx on full tilt/youngguyy on stars (hes a 100/200+ limit player), clint/beatifulman, martine23, josh/reddog133, and lyric.
The game was playing very aggressively and a little maniacally, but everyone is playing very well. There is often a straddle and restraddle and sometimes a 3rd straddle forcing even more action than there already was. There had already been a few extremely impressive plays, i.e. josh called 300 all in on the turn with A high and it was good, genius called 2 streets with KQ high on an A high flop and it was good, etc.
We were drinking a bit and having a good time, and the song of the summer, the way i are came on:
we all go a little crazy and decide for this hand we are going to play with a 5 dollar ante instead of 1 dollar. Here is how the hand went down in picture form. the green numbers beside our names is how much money we started the hand with.
So basically even though i rule at poker i still got destroyed by the master.

As usual some of this is tilt which pains me the most. Its kinda pathetic that I still do tilt sometimes. I should be over that kind of shit a long time ago.
Me new quest for the coming weeks will be to COMPLETELY remove tilt from my game. I can so easily destroy 3/6 and 5/10 when Im playing well but this tilt business is really fucking with my winrate.
Anyways, Ive noted a couple of phenomenon on party the last few days.
1. People berate me when they win a hand. Wtf is up with that? Someone gets it in with a flushdraw, hits on the river and proceeds to trashtalk and call me a fish etc. I can understand ppl ranting in chat when someone sucks out on them but this??? And it doesnt really affect me at all so they are wasting energy and making them selves look like complete assholes for no reason.
2. I hate partypoker russians. EVERY single ratholing fagass whoreface on party is russian. EVERY disconnect cheating asswhole downsyndromefaggot is russian. Its like somewhere in russia theres a secret science lab where they are spawning evildoing unethical pokerplayers and just pour them all over partypoker.
You lost the cold war, get the fuck over it.
Im still kinda bummed out that I left vegas so early, I miss all the cool kids already T_T
Clay talked about him and I think iamalex coming to London sometime in september for an event of some sort. If they do I will definitely go there aswell since they both are awesomecool cats +we can hopefully hook up with ket and echo and be balling outa control etc.

Plain and simple... Squaresoft makes the best games ever. If you haven't played any of the final fantasy games, you are totally missing out. I pretty much spent all night playing Final Fantasy X and the ending just knocked me off my feet.

So one of the nights I met a loose/aggressive live pro named Tilton Milton. We all went over to omniheart's house on the north side of the strip and played some drinking games. I hustled Milton and SakiSaki in darts for like $200. I am a sick darts player yo~
SakiSaki
Tilton Milton
Back at the Wynn there was a sick big $10/$20 game going on after Rekrul won his heads up bracelet. ElkY, Rekrul and their friend Martin all sat with $40k+ and just totally donk'd it up all night. In a span of 2 hours there were 3 $50k+ pots.
ElkY
It was this night that I picked up the new phrase "sick life". It really does sum up a lot. All I was hearing while watching the table was ElkY saying "sick life, sickest life!" or "ssibbal!"
Rekrul on the right, their friend Martin in the hat on the left
ElkY again, obv chip leader yo~!
In the sickest hand of the night, 3 players got it all-in for $15k each making some $45k pot at 10/20. The donk in the green hat in this picture sucked out with his JJ vs some old nit's AA and Rekrul's unknown junk to rake the monster pot.
The big pot is brewing
The big pot
It was pretty sick to watch. Rekrul the next day said he didnt really remember some of the hands due to being so smashed. Back at our condo actionDJ had been clocking in some killer sessions and came up some mad dough~

Yo it's me again and I'm finally back home after Vegas. Was a pretty sweet ass trip for the most part. So sweet that me and Pavel decided we'd go back next monday and stay at the Wynn for another week! LOL.
So I'm just going to post some pictures from my cam in the order I took them and try to explain the moment. So here is when I went to the Rio for the first time:
And I saw TwistedEcho playing a $1500 event:
But he ran bad and busted later that day. My friend Dustin Dirksen made it pretty far in that event though. A few days later he ended up making the final table and got heads up for the bracelet. Sadly he got it in top pair vs two pair and the guy held to cripple him out in 2nd place for $360k. Here is the picture from Nobu when we went out to celebrate w/ him and his roommates:
Next day we got to rail Daut playing the Mixed Hold'Em event. Obviously Daut is a member of the KKK:
On the other side of the room is my favorite mo-hawk PBDrunks getting pretty far in another $1500 event:
For the most part, most of my time in Vegas was spent in one place: The Wynn Poker Room. Later that night we met up with my boy Max aka acidca on PokerStars. He's obviously one of the most vicious poker players ever:
He put down the sickness at the 2-5NL for about 2 hours before he went on total monkey tilt and lost all his moneys. Here is SakiSaki and MangoD playing at the same table:
And here is me! --->
So this is only the first batch of pictures. I will be back tomorrow with another batch. Please prepare yourself for whats to come~

So I just arrived back home in Sweden. Its really sad :/ Turns out that all the lp people are fucking awesome and it really pains me to leave them so soon. Im a bit too jetlagged to do a huge writeup but in short I had a really great time hanging out with all the ballers and miniballers and I will definitely come back next year, and stay longer.
I do have some pictures that I will upload in a not too distant future(one includes a sneaked picture of TJ Cloutier playing craps at the bellagio ZOMG!)
Brag: up about 7-8k on the trip.
Beat: never got to go to the spearmint rhino with elky
variance: Didnt hang out enough/never hung out with some off the lp ppl like ket, rain, echo myth, elky and rekrul.
