I still can’t believe I finished up a little today after some brutal beats…hihihihihihi…happy for once, although I would have taken a few less beats to finish way up…oh well…better hitting a bad streak and still more or less breaking even or up a little than spiralling into deep tilt…yeah me…I’m off…

Merry christmas everyone…

P.S. All the money goes in on the turn, of course the river fucks me…Fuck you pokerstars!!! That is all…

Well, I played a little yesterday and today. Not much of a run. Started off really bad losing yesterday, so I quit after two headsup matches. Today I didn’t start any better, starting to drop game after game, really sick really. Then I won a few…and after I won the last one with the hammer, see below, I decided to quit. I’m outta here, gonna watch a movie or something…

So, I played a little tonight…some PLO8, some NL Hold’em…then I got coolered in both…so I fell back to the main-torture, Razz. Played an MTT, nearly four hours later I bow out in third place after getting short on a cooler…what can you do. A third is not a second and not a W…but oh well…I’ll take it…home game tomorrow…so I’ll better catch some sleep and chill out a little…

After playing a few tourneys 2-7 NL Single Draw recently, I can appreciate the feat that Phil Ivey did by winning the 2-7 bracelet even more. Unbelievable that you can actually win such a tourney…where swings can be massive and the next cooler is just around the corner….that being said, I crippled myself once again after 1.5h+ putting it in with a pat 98…my opponent drawing one…of course he draws perfect to a 97….fucking a++…busted myself the next hand. Apart from that tourney I’ve played a little NL Hold’em and some PLO8…but no joy there either…just one of those days…I’m off…

Yup…pretty much that equals disaster…oh well…before my head explodes I had to vent in the chat a little…I wonder when they will finally strip my chat away…oh well…doesn’t matter anyway…I’ll take another break as I can’t take another screwjob, bad run and bs…I’m outta here…

Merry christmas to all my regular readers, visitors, friends and their families.

Got a little bigger session in today as I only worked till noon, so I had some free time on my hands before christmas dinner and what not. In total I played 13 matches and won 8 of them. Interestingly enough the biggest contributor to those stats was PLO8. I rocked those matches and won 5 out of 6. Won 0 out of 1 in HORSE and 3 out of 6 in NL HE.

The sickest match of all was my final PLO8 match. I can honestly say that I’ve never ever seen anyone run that good – not even the biggest lucksack opponents. Who ran good? Me! I ran like the living bejeezus, I literally walked on water in that match. I had a straight flush twice – coincidentally twice the same one, too…I held 8d9d xx both times and the board ran 7d 10d x Jd x and Td Jd x 7d x… – had boat over boat and finally dem quads to finish the match (I was unable to extract that much value in the straight flush hands and the boat over boat one as my opponent was not really willing to stack off with an under-full…a rare thing these days)…anyway…feels good to have played a little more again and to look ahead to 4 days of free time until I have to get back to work on monday.

Long story short: it’s almost certain to say that you will find some more poker content the next few days…gl at the tables everyone and once again: Merry christmas/happy holidays!!!

Well, played a little poker today. Totally a mixed bag. Busted some fools early, then lost to some ridonkulously bad calling stations who couldn’t fold a hand and caught and caught and caught. Oh well. Then I jumped into the SwDP and had a good run right up until the first break, coincidentally it was the final table bubble as well. I sit second in chips about 2k above average and I get tangled up in a hand with the biggest stack (having me covered by about 3k). I flop three pair and most of the money goes in. The turn gives me a flush draw, but it also gives my opponent a better two pair and the nut flush draw. I’m busto on the final table bubble. Sigh. At least it was my own stubbornness that cost me the tourney and not a sick cooler and/or bad beat like the ones that cost TheRooster and Al the tourney. I crippled TheRooster when I turn a boat again his flopped boat on a 499 flop (me 9xxx, he 44xx)…too bad I couldn’t use the tasty rooster chips to bring it home…oh well…gg and cya soon…

If you think of an action-junkie game, what games come to mind? Yeah, anything along the lines of PLO. The real poker crack is PLO8 though. Why? Because it seems that many ppl are addicted to it, but got no clue that it’s harming them. Still they want more and they keep donating and donating in the process of getting their PLO8 fix. Fine by me…I enjoyed the donations tonight. To mix things up I threw in one of the 4 player HU matches and some normal headsup matches. I won all but one. So I’m out with a smile tonight, although there were moments where I would have loved to bitchslap my opponent for making such a stupid play and of course getting rewarded for it. Then again you come to realize that that sort of wrong enforcement learning is what keeps the donks at the tables spewing chips, feeling like the world champ on their occasional win and in the end donating to the community on a regular basis. Alrighty, enough babbling…I’m outta here…gl at the tables everyone…

It really was a quick session…wanted to play earlier and then longer, but a quick idea got into the way. First of all I bought a new digital camera today (nothing fancy), but I thought about starting a photoblog…which has been on my “list” for quite a while, so I set that up…which took a little longer than expected…turns out debug mode helps and the problem (image magick not accessible by webuser) was solved rather quickly. But…it kept me from playing earlier…so just a quick session. The awesome part of it was that I played strictly against fish and I’m not guessing here…sharkscope approved fish…lol…and they were playing just like their icon suggests…fishy…fishy…fishy…won 3 out of 5…should have been 4..but two outs are g00t…oh well…

While playing I started to rail the Bodonkey ToC…the thing that really sucks is that the railbirds can’t chat at bodonkey…pretty fugly if you ask me. I mean, it’s a general policy and while it has it’s upsides in general (no beggers, hustlers and annoy-o-bots), but in a private tourney? Come on…at least the players who played in the bodonkey should be able to chat – on another note: I didn’t expect bodog to change this tonight, after all it was like that the whole season…you played in the bodonkey at a table and couldn’t even chat with the other tables. FUGLY, I’m telling you. I gotta get a hold of smokkee and ask him if he can pass on some suggestions to Nadia or whoever at bodog…

I’m off to the laptop to rail a little more…ToC is really slow so far. Columbo is Gigli…first break coming up…17/18 players left…
