updates - live play - some FT's |

1 | |
So here is a little update from whats been going on in my poker world.
First of, I just got back from the casino with a buddy of mine who is a 2+2'er. I never me him before in real life, but knew him from PS and aim, it ends up he is good friends with Lyric and so we know a lot of people in common. Anyway he is really cool and i had a fun time. His ps id is asydraine i think (i am really bad with names/nicks) and he plays 6max 1/2 - 2/4.
We went to this place called Presidents Casino.
It's in saint louis and its pretty trashy place. Basically we see a lot of old guys who pass their time gambling and living in some home for old people. A lot of bums and some young kids.
As for the casino live play. First let me say I don't like casino play for obvious reason (too slow, only 1 table, etc).
Second, the players are bad -- yes, I concur, but this bad makes it harder for me then playing vs good players. The people are calling down super loose, no credit is given. If you raise pf after a few limpers you still get 5 people calling, etc.
Anyways I don't have much experience in the live play so it takes me a bit of time to adjust.
I ran like crap and got sucked out a bunch, won't bother with the suck out stories. Eventually my hands starting holding and the highlight hand of the night for me was this:
Someone limps and next guy raise (this is 1/2 btw). Guy in middle position (this black guy who seems to be good but is clearly frustrated at couple beats he took and hands not holding shoves for like 70 dollars.
I have A10 on the button and I am pretty sure I am ahead of his range, so I call. The big blind, also a shorty shoves for like 5 dollars extra.
Flop is 9Jx, big blind shows 99 for the set and I'm thinking "i'm screwed" ( with an Irish accent). Turn is Q, river is .. yes... K  .
The black guy flips his hand over and is like "give me that mother fucking money.. SHIP IT to me". He manages to ramble a good 15 seconds while I am waiting for him and his Q10 to shut the hell up.
So I am like "wait up bro" as i flip my a10 and i start singing his stupid ramble back to him "GIVE ME THE MOFO money" he feels embarassed and leaves and whole table gets a good laugh.
Another comment is that I played a bunch with the gf of Nutsinyoureyes. I know that i know this guy from somewhere but I don't remember where. I think i used to play with him back in the day, if someone knows please share. Anyways this girl is a good looking dame which surprised me and my friend to see a good looking person on a saturday night alone playing poker. I figured she is a shark and found that to be true. She was probably the most solid player amongst all the wackos there.
Anyways, besides that the rest sucked. I wanted to leave like after 3 hours of playing, I was sick of it, but the 2+2'er was stuck and wanted to get even and since he was my ride back, we stayed like 8 hours and I was dead tired of playing.
Besides that I have had some recent success in tournies.
First success is I played a 50k gtd with a fellow lp'er from this site and offered him to split profits. I lose in 1st hour and he ends up winning for 13k.. ship 6.5k .
Second was i played this 109$ tourney and got 3rd. I managed to lose since this same buddy came to obs me and I lose everytime he obs me. I don't believe in superstitions but omg every friggin time he comes to obs me I lose, its mind boggling.
Finally yesterday I ft'ed the supernova. I lost in 8th place which sucked a lot cause I had good amount of chips. I made a horrible choice of trying to bluff the chip leader who is a 50nl grinder/super light caller. Big mistake, oh well paid the price. I'd like to blame Kabutze on this bluff since I am a wuss and won't man up to my own faults. (he knows why)
And thats about it. I realize I suck at poker but manage somehow to get enough money to pay school and bills and live a comfortable life while doing something I enjoy. I am slowly trying to get better, but am super busy with school. I actually had a coaching lesson with a fellow lp'er for 1st time ever. Thought it was quite goot.
So its fun stuff. But right now I am in a critical point in life, about graduate school and need to choose what to do with life. The game of life still boggles me.. a lot, so I am lost so far.
Anywho, thats that. Peace ya'll.
