I didn’t intend to play poker at all today, but I couldn’t miss Al’s birthday rebuy madness…so why not…let’s just say it ended in utter frustration. Nothing better than to play 2hours of poker, build your stack up up and up…then get burned by two fugly plays. First…Sox pops my SB…I repop him with TT…he pushes…easy call fellows…he shows KQo…errm yeah, nice push there, especially as I didn’t play all that many hands…not many at all, but I guess that doesn’t matter…I think I don’t need to comment any further on this one…either you’re dead with that hand, dominated, or in a flip at best…sure enough I lose the flip, so instead of 30k I’m sitting with 10k….next stop…how to lose with As8s against 2s3s….min-raise preflop…true that’s a ghey play on my part, but I was still a little tilted about the fucking KQo hand. Flop comes A35. I lead out…call…turn is another 3….push comes to shove and although I got the sick feeling that I’m beat, I still call…because I can’t believe that someone would have stuck along with a 3 there all that time, come on I raised UTG and I’ve shown nothing but the best hand in a long time…but as things were, I was right (and wrong)…23 s000000000ted good enough for a call preflop and postflop…gin on the turn and you got my money. Still a fucking donk play IMHO, sorry, I don’t feel like being courteous here….I’m out of here…steamed up…fucking donk hands, keep peeling it off for them in crucial pots…so sick…

The Bodonkey Bloggermant is tonight. If you enjoy free money (as in overlay), courtesy of bodog, please play tonight so that we can keep this one on the regular blogger donkament circle. I took it down last week and I’m itching to defend my title, I don’t know if can make it tonight though…if I do, I’m hoping to see you at the tables! …see banner below for all the infos…(props to Mook for it)…

Log on to Stars, play NL HE headsup and lose, lose, lose, win, lose. No matter if you put your money in 50/50, 60/40, 80/20…lose lose lose…

Next stop, FullTilt, Friday night blogger rebuy donkament. Play like crap…get lucky twice sucking out back-to-back straights, once with the hammer, which was obv g00t. After that catch no break whatsoever. Push in with Ax vs KX four times, win exactly 0. Push in with KX vs Ax and win exactly 0. Fitting enough that one of the above was my exit after Island rivered a ten on me (JT vs my QJ)…that was basically the end right there…I guess I should have pushed on the flop, but the way I was running tonight one of my opponents would have had the ace, no doubt 😉

Random fugly pic dump…:

The only good when it comes to poker was that my question about chosing the hammer for his “donkey bomber outfit” was asked on anteup episode 119…big shoutout to Scott and Chris, keep up the good work! I’m outta here…

Read Smokkee’s blog and find out that tonight is another bodog blogger tourney. Check bodog where you haven’t played in almost a year. No money. Check Neteller, money sitting there…reload…jump into tourney. Dodge bullets left and right…river some nice hands (no all-in pots)…crack Aces headsup with a straight on the river (all-in after the river)…flop quads headsup…etc…W…add 60$ + 50T$ to newly reloaded mini-bankroll on bodog…

Big shoutout to smokkee and TripJax…cya all soonish…

Well, well…made it back just in time from our little drink-fest to join the rebuy madness festivities…no joy though as I couldn’t catch a break…no matter if worst hand or best hand, I managed to lose 99% of them…so…I decided to quit after slightly over half an hour…at least I donated the buyin + 14 rebuys to the donk-community…no three-peat…oh well…cya all next week…

Short random pic dump…

Well, well…just a little poker session again…two PLO8 matches, 1W 1L. After that I was pretty bored and saw that there were DS satellites for tomorrow’s WCOOP event #1. 8,8$ a pop with 36 players, first get’s the ticket, 2nd to 4th get 20$, 5th 13$…good deal, let’s get it on.

The first table was easy…always nice to hold a cooler early on and have someone push into the nuts. I held AA on the button…LP pops it…I repop him, he pushes…I call…he shows KK…rockets hold up. Nice. A few orbits later a really loose push-happy donks raises 5BB preflop…I look down at the s00ted K8 in the bb and decide to call…if I flop gin I have all his chips, if not I fold and lost 150 chips. Flop comes down three diamonds…gin…I lead out and he does as expected…push…insta-call…he’s drawing dead…cya….I bust another player and then my headsup opponent when my JJ holds up…

I waited for the final table to start and once it did I made sure I chilled out until the first one busted. I still picked up a nice pot early on with a little flush over flush hand…and once the first player busted I sat pretty, second in chips. Once we were down to three-handed I made my first mistake pushing TP into an overpair (KK)…I sucked out on the river…new chipleader: me. I busted the third player and we were headsup. My opponent wins a few hands and he’s the chipleader. Grrrr….I make the next mistake by pushing K3 into K9…d00minated…3 on the flop and I’m monster-chipleader again. Ouch….that was the same player with the Kings cracked on the river. I double him up again. I’m still in the lead and when I look down at presto…I decide to pop it and call his push…presto gold and I’m the winner…

As I can’t play in the event tomorrow I unregistered…

Uuuuuuuh W$…not good…I could use them to buyin into one of the WCOOP events I intended to play (e.g. Razz), but then again…who knows if I’ll be able to play…so no use having them sit around in my account (too bad it wasn’t T$ then I would have used them to play SnGs again)…so I look around for a place to sell the W$ and the best spot I found was the pokernews exchange…and all I can say is: praise, the transaction took under 5 minutes and I’ve got the money (89% = 191,35$) in my account.

So…all in all a wonderful session for me and a nightmare for my headsup opponent…no chance in hell is what he had…and I know that it wasn’t because of my flawless play, but because I got lucky in two big hands (76o vs KK, K3 vs K9), which means he got unlucky as hell…oh well…I’ll take it (and whine like crazy the next time shit like this happens to me) 😉

…in other news: spent another 500FPP for a black PokerStars shirt…now I can switch between my PPA, FullTilt and PokerStars shirts for my live appearances…wheeeeeee….

Wheeeeeeeeee….another week, another rebuy donkfest proudly presented by Kat. and another King of Rebuy Donks title for me (third overall). Back-to-back baby! Next stop three-peat 😉

The play is mostly a blur, I just know three things:

1. I didn’t win a single coin-flip during the whole tournament (0/4)…until I won one…in the last hand…99 vs AQ…flop 9….and I’m the champ

2. I sucked out in a major pot during the rebuy period…jackAce s00ted against AK against AK…I flop the nuts (diamond flush)…that hand really catapulted me into the tourney…

3. It’s good to hold the best hand when the money goes in for a HUGE pot. It feels even better when it holds up…(two big hands on the final table were KK vs JJ all-in preflop….and K8 vs KQ…all-in postflop on a K8x board….)

Alrighty…I’m out…time to catch some sleep…enjoy the random pic dump….

King of Rebuy Donks (TM) is my official title for the night. After a brutal session of PLO(8) at Stars, where boat over boat and stuff was the norm, I played Kat‘s rebuy madness tonight, after missing it last week for the first time in ages. After nothing much going on early, I was able to chip up in the middle stages and just when I thought I was golden, I got kicked in the junk. I hold TT on the button and I’ve folded hand after hand after hand. It’s IG’s BB and I pop it, she repops and I insta-push. Now, I see that not all players might pay attention to “small details” at all times, but how can you instacall with 77 there. Now, I usually don’t comment on people’s play like that, but that hand really put me down. Alright, 77, a pair, but even if I was making a move with two face cards or something, you’re probably only on a flip. But oh well, 7 on the flop and I’m down to 4k.

I push a few hands later with KQ and get called by K8…my hand holds up. A few hands later I push again with TT and get called again…Jx…Jack on the flop and I’m ready to pack it up for the night, but no…runner runner straight….wheeeeee. At that point fluxer was the overwhelming chipleader, while the other four (including me) were fighting over the remaining chips. He really put on a clinic on how to play big stack poker. I went on a little rush and knocked out player after player after player and once we were down to headsup I was slightly less than a 4:1 chip-dog. That all changed once the first cooler came down (TP for fluxer….trips for me on a paired board). I gave the chips back a few hands later with the same thing (me TP…trips for fluxer)…then the crucial hand came down…JJ vs KQs…I flop the set and it holds up and I’m 4:1. Way to go…I won it a few hands later and reclaimed my seat a top the donkey rebuy world. Sweet….big shout out to fluxer who really deserved to win and he probably would have if the flip had gone the other way…but that’s the way it goes…let me just do a random pic dump before I finally go to sleep…make sure you scroll a little as the hands are pretty sick…especially the one with a flopped royal flush, got any percentages for that?!

*lol* it’s once again well past 5am…so just a quick wrapup…perfect record on Stars today, 2/2…then it was time for the rebuy madness and things started of shitty, then everything went well…until shit hit the fan again….TT vs AQ to lose half my stack…then the good old KK vs AJ s00ted….oh well…the usual….two plus hours of poker fun and the inevitable junk kick…so sick…oh well…I guess KK is going to be my official bustout hand for the donkament from now on…
