One thing I like about Full Tilt is that most of the fish in my buddy list seem to be regular players. The other night I followed one guy to 4 different tables, stacking him twice. The next day he was playing again, I sat down with him, got AA in the first hand, got it all in preflop with him vs. his KK. He of course flopped a K, but I turned the ace.

Then today I sat down with a different donk buddy and again got dealt AA in my first hand. He is something like 80/30. He likes to push whenever he senses weakness which is why my bets are all under-sized. The best part is that he waited till the river to do it, when I had already invested $41 of my $50 stack.

Today sucked. I think I'm officially done with Stars FR ring games.

My 3rd hand at the table:

Turns out Villain was a total maniac. So I wait for about an hour to get a hand against him and then I end up getting stacked by a new guy at the table:

Yeah, I had a read on myself that I was pretty awesome.

Most of the players with journals are severly AlexMRed. I had to go from full tilt because last night I almost cried. I deposited 1000 for the full bonusand cashout 515 after clearing 340 of the bonus.

What made m cry was that somebody was talking tome about a couple badbeats I had taken and i said i had deposited 1K andonly had 500left. The conversation turned into a joke because nobody would believe i had 1K and play nl$50 . They were saying something like"now you are a highroller and shit...." and something like that.

I kept discussing a few things and I just cant believe ho clueless those guys are. And still i cant beat nl$50 nowadays.

Uh oh... what happens if youre already in a funk and THEN Alex starts posting in your journal..??? I'd watch out for falling anvils in your near future...

Rising up out of the funk baby!

Had a +$50 6-max session at Stars (woo!) and a short +$250 session at an unnamed site where the 100NL FR games are still alive and well.

I had to do it all to the soundtrack of a jackhammer that has been jackhammering directly below my window since 9am. They are re-designing the lobby to give the building a little modern posh flair.

Alex- where are you headed to now?

Alex, good move leaving Full Tilt. I'm thinking of doing it myself. The horrendous bad beats there have stopped but I feel like it's so much easier to make money basically everywhere else. And bonus whoring a few different sites is probably a great way to work out of a down swing.

Today was pretty decent. +$250 at Bodog, +$100 at UB, and +$40 at FT. Right now I have my bankroll spread between UB, Stars, FT, and Bodog. I want to drop one of these but I'm not sure which one. Either Stars or FT. At FT I have the RB which is good but everything else about FT kinda sucks. I don't know.

I do know that I just called Bodog customer service and spoke to a woman named Stephanie, and I'm pretty sure that based on her voice alone I am ready to move to Costa Rica to woo/stalk this woman. I was a little when I spoke to her and I did not have the sense to keep finding questions to ask her to keep her on the phone.

Fun 100NL FR Bodog hand:

Pozzo is BB with . A few limpers.

Flop . Check, check, Villain bets $4. Pozzo calls, everyone else folds.

Turn ($12) . Check. Villain bets $12. Pozzo makes drunkish loose call.

River ($36) . Pozzo bets $36. Villain pushes, Pozzo calls $75 more.

Villain has .

Bo!

Had a decent week, up something like $700, which felt great after the lousy weeks I've been having. Then I decided to play a session last night at Bodog while watching some crappy movie with the girl. Managed to drop $340 over about 3 hours. Lost a stack and a 1/2 flopping set under set. Lost a stack with AA to QQ on a 9Q99 board. Lost AA to AK.. I don't remember the others. It was an awful way to end the week. On one hand it was only 3 buy-ins, on the other hand it was 1/2 my weekly profit gone in one session. I really wanted to keep playing to at least try to win 1 stack back from the Bodonks. But I had to get up early this morning and I knew that I wasn't playing my best game anyway.

Bleh..
