yesterday, mig won a bracelet in the 5k nl event in the biggest steamroll of a final table ive ever seen. with the exception of one hand, he won every single pot he voluntarily put a chip into the pot. he totally destroyed the entire ft.



what a hero.

its sad in a sense because i wont be backing him anymore, hes made enough to go out on his own, it would have been nice to have him through the main event cause he gonna destroy some more peoples, but i couldnt be happier for him.

2 of my friends have won bracelets now, i need to get my ass moving. at least ill get in a ton of bracelet winning pictures as my friends own the poker world.

So I've come up with a list of things to accomplish for my trip to Vegas. I'll put em up here so I can keep track of em:

1. Leave Vegas with more than I originally came with.

2. Find twin-caracas.

3. Take another picture w/ twin-caracas.

4. Make sure twin-caracas knows I'm still his #1 fan for life.

5. Goto the Spearmint Rhino w/ ElkY (I hear that this should be on everyone's list)

6. Make a tournament final table. I dont care what tournament it is.

7. Get on ESPN. And I will do everything in my power to somehow get on.

8. Don't throw up. Not likely... I'm such a light weight.

9. Run Good in credit card roulette. One time! Is it so much to ask?

10. Be up in prop bets. I dont care if I'm up $1000 or $1. I just dont want to be down!

Ok that should cover it.

This is the big day! Although the major beat is that my original plan was to get there yesterday afternoon, unfortunately we couldn't get a room at the Wynn over the weekend so we had to wait til Sunday. Yesterday I spent all day packing and preparing for my journey out to the WSOP. I'm so excited I can't wait. Went to the bank and asked the lady for $2,000 in small bills (Mostly $1's and $20's) and she's like "You going to make me count all that?" LOL... Ofcourse!



It felt weird, it was actually the first time I went to the bank and withdrew more than $500. Then Lyric has to crash my party and remind me that anything under a $100 bill doesn't play on the poker tables. Asdf... So I go back to the bank and get the same lady to give me $100's for most of my $20's. She now hates my guts obv.

Anyways, this has been a pretty decent month of poker for the most part. I'm up $4,200 total in cash games, and like $1500 from tournaments (mostly from getting deep in the Sunday a week ago). Since I'm bringing $6k to Vegas, that makes me about break even if I end up going busto there. Woot!



For all you guys stuck at home just reading the WSOP Blog, mine is obv going to be the best when I get there. Pictures every day I promise! Ok, I'll be back on the 3rd! Wish me luck~! weeeeeeeeeee

Have you guys ever noticed how some plays grow and decrese in popularity in the hand discussion forums?

A while back everybody hailed to potcontrolling the turn. Check behind! Blocker bet! I fucking love the smell of potcontrol in the morning!!!

After that monsterpoker was the new shit and we all just wanted to push everything into everyone, always.

Now finally, monster poker has given in to the new hip bet/fold and the dreaded minraise. Im not sure why, maybe since "bet/fold" has grown to be accepted as a phrase, and it sounds way cooler than "uhm bet the turn and then who knows?"

Seems like c/c is never even mentioned unless its in spite, and whenever somebody finds themselves in a strange spot with a monster theres always atleast one that suggest a fucking minraise.


I would like to point out that I have nothing against bet/folding but I do infact hate minraising. Anyways, all opinions about the plays aside we have to face it, bet fold is definitely the new black.


Good night.

grinding 2/4 worked out as I expected, I have pretty much been destroying the games while 8-tabling the last few days. I feel good about the fact that I have been putting in good hours playing since I have gotten so lazy lately. From what I can remember 600nl isnt much tougher than 400nl so Im probably moving up soon enough, but I really enjoy playing this overrolled so I might stay on 400nl for a little while longer. + I played a short session of 600nl and got completely pwnd and the pain still lingers in my memory.

2/4 adventure results:



Im still looking for a site where I can throw in another 20k but no luck so far. I tried parbet and the games seemed really soft but the software tilted me so bad and I just cant play there anymore T_T. Im thinking of trying out some primaskin but I havent decided yet.

It's an extremely rare occurence when i show up with a totally random hand that nobody expects and end up looking like a total fish, but today it happened.

so im sitting playing a few tables of 25/50 on stars and i notice that on 2 of the tables adz raises utg and then sits out after taking the pot down and leaves the next hand. so i see him raise on the 3rd table utg and realize hes about to leave the game.

i quickly call smokey over and tell him whats happening and we decide its time to start shitting on the about to leave the table player.


http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/211022

misread his raise for less preflop so my reraise was small. smokey told me he would take half my action on the hand because its a pretty funnys pot, so i felt like i was freerolling on the flop and went with it.

probably one of the only times anyone will ever see me look like a total fish in a hand. it helped though, i ended up winning 2 buyins after that just getting paid because everyone thought i was monkeying. i like this new image i have fostered, brian townsend style.

So Derric (actionDJ) and I decided that tonight would be the night we head out to Lucky Chances Casino in San Fransisco to un-rust our live game before Vegas. So we sit at a juicy 1-1-2 game, and I end up having to lay down AKs to a guy who obviously had aces (his hands shook the table as he 4 bet reraised me). After 30 mins of this BS I'm down $50. Sweet.

Finally we get moved to the 2-3-5 game which had a $10 open so it played like a $5/$10. Derric and I were moved to seperate tables and we both ran cold for like 3 hours straight. Basically, I ended up picking up a bunch of small preflop pots with big raises in position, but everytime I saw a flop I got tooled. This one cute asian chick (these cute asian chicks will be the death of me I swear) just took me to school in every pot we played. I raised it up with TT 3rd to act, a loose player behind me called, and asian chick called out of the blinds. Flop came K-8-3 w/ 2 diamonds. Asian chick checks, I bet $60 into a $95 pot. Guy behind me folds, asian chick calls. Turn comes a 4d. Asian chick leads for $100. Puke. I check to see if I got fold equity if I shove. I then check if I have the Td... I don't. Sick...Fold. Next hand I get in with her, I have 66 on the button. Guy limps utg. Asian chick limps behind, I make a raise to $50, they both call. Flop comes K-Q-9. Guy checks, asian chick bets $40. lol Fold. Guy behind me calls. Turn 6. Puke. Guy leads into her, she shoves and guy called w/ KJ. She has 99. Phew. River 6. Puke. Next I have AQo, raise in 3rd position to $40. One caller behind me, asian chick on the button makes it $180. First time she's repopped all night. Bitch, this is war! But not with AQo... Fold. Finally I pick up T9hh. Minraise utg, asian chick calls, everyone between me and her (like 4-5 people) called. I call the $20. Blinds call, we got a family pot w/ everyone but one person left. Flop comes 5c-6h-7h, giving me a gut shot straight flush draw. The stupidly lagtard SB leads out for $20. The big blind whos been really tight for the most part makes a mini-raise to $50. Asian chick behind him calls. Retard behind her calls. Everyone else folds to me. I look down and count out my chips and start thinking whats the best play. Obviously I'm not folding. It's whether I want to just flat call or raise here. I decided to take this bad boy of a draw to war, and hope to give myself some fold equity vs marginal hands or marginal draws... I RAISE ALL-IN $450 TOTAL! Then the dealer looks at me and is like "You can't do that." I'm like "huh?" And he's like "This is a Spread Limit $5-$200 table, you can only raise $200" ... Thanks for telling me that we are playing spread limit actionDJ. Fucking suicide. SB insta folds, the tight big blind calls. Asian chick is like "I raise $200 more." So I'm like fuck how do you wake up with a hand you can felt everytime? So I call off the last of my stack, and so does the big blind. Hands were shown: Both the big blind and the asian chick had 98 for the nut straight. Woot I'm draw totally live! Get there one time! Turn Ad, River 4c. Stacked.

Live poker fucking sucks.

So my friend twistedecho has been having some trouble in the 650 main event satelites. im pretty good at sats because im a math person and have a good intuitive feel of certain satelite situations like when to shove any 2, when to reshove on people, who not to steal on, when to fold in, etc.

anyway, echo had to go out to eat, so he asked me if i would take over the sat for him to try to win a seat. i said yes, and immediately my heart was filled with joy.

I log onto his account and the first thing i do is enter the FPP store. i thought about spending all 4k of his fpps on stress balls, but i found something even better.



i bought him a chris moneymaker medallion. GG 1500 fpps.


after buying the medallion for him and sending it to his house, i didnt even pull through and win him the seat. went out in 40th with AK v AT when 35 qualify. oops. oh well, at least i won his money back.

After partypoker started being gay about affiliates I got really worried so I decided to cash out a big chunk of my roll cause it would suck ass to have my account locked or something and not being able to play poker at all.

I left about 20k on party and I have since then decided to just grind 2/4 on party with the money I have. I will probably throw In another 20k on some other site for better game selection and use the rest for a live roll for Vegas.

I have such a big edge on 2/4 and Im pretty sure I can beat it for 5+ptbb/100 while 8-tabling. Doing this I will probably make close to as much as I did 4-6 tabling 5/10 and the swings will not be near as big. + I can put in longer sessions since I dont have the same need to be 100% focused as I did on 5/10.

Vegas Is coming up pretty soon and im fucking psyched about it! Im staying from the 21st of june till july 3rd. Meeting all legendary lpers is going to be pure awesomeness!

Now off to destroy cosmo and sixpeppers in bw



suck it!

I fucking hate the Sunday Million... why do I put myself through that torture every single weekend. So freaking retarded. I struggle for the majority of the tournament on a short stack, then 2 hours into the tournament I finally double up w/ Aces then take down another two pots to put me above average. On the bubble, I pulled an aggressive 3 bet with 43 and flopped a pair and a straight draw and got it in vs QQ. Spiked the straight on the turn, so ship the big stack over to me. Held a huge stack all the way down til there was 210 left, then this disaster happens to me:
