Fantasy football... oh yeah... I've never done it before, but told myself to try it out this season. I should get to that.

Thanks for the reminder!

Freaking effort. Somehow I actually put more into my game than this journal. Sa all around.

This week I've been cruising on the NL$25 FR tables at Dise, just winning, winning, winning. I'm trying raises in position alot, and CB's seems to be working better than they did last week, for whatever reason. I have been winning fairly well, about 1.5 stacks a session on average, although my sessions usually don't last longer than 3 hours, I'm pretty happy with my play in some aspects. Although, because alot of the time these Dise players will be pushing chips around with completely weak hands, I have been caught in a few hands that have hurt the bottom line overall. Sadly, I can't pot thse hands just yet because getting Dise hands in pokertracker is a MANUAL process. I should be done today and post some atrocious decisions tomorrow. But, my good decisions have clearly outweighed my bad ones this week.

Also, Friday I tried out 5-max for the first time and found it to be pretty amazing. Amazing in the fact that the players I went up against DO NOT FOLD. The guys at my table must have had VPIP's of 90+%...I was the only one sitting out of a flop most of the time...very disturbing but wonderful. Also, the guy to my left was Mr. Showdown. He would limp, I would raise, he would continue to call, and if he hit any part of that flop, that man was not going to fold. Not a chance. So, I actually started playing him like I would play a bad opponent at a limit 3/6 games which such moves as isolating with middle pair and continually raising him with draws and such to get other people out. There must have been a table showdown percentage somewhere near 90% at this table for over 3 hours! Guess I've been missing out not playing 6-max(duh, I know, I knew it already). Just haven't gotten to a comfort level there though, so I will keep practicing.

MIRC was fun last night...must have been about 20 people on overall which is pretty sweet. But the magic eightball predictions are rigged!

My nephew turned Uno earlier in the week and today is the B-day, so no play until later unless it's party, which is evil(but lucrative all the same). Then Sunday I have to go to a wedding in semiformal attire. What the hell does that mean? I dunno. Bah.
At least there will be liquor. Weddings at wineries are tite.

I still can't find a babysitter. Bah, WSOP circuit event in Tahoe, grand opening of the Jackson Rancheria's brand spankin new poker room with the introduction of SNGs and free stuff giveaways. Busy weekend on the local poker scene, and my sister, mom, and inlaws all busy doing other things. Seriously, my sister should come back from New York just to accomodate my poker schedule. So you are going to have to hit some of this stuff up for me, kthanx.

Oh, and since you are becoming the most quoted BTP'er in member's signatures, you need to say something pithy. Thanks again.

Words fail me.

Words fail ME? That's a line of BS that anyone who has met me would never believe.

And you call yourself a DEGENERATE!

I am trying to figure out who I am going to go with on a trip all weekend for gambling, but I also considering going on my own...which is sick. Very sick, actually. Especially since my car need work...new tire, engine check, etc...

So, I will ask one more person, then, I dunno, just drive around all weekend by myself. Which sucks completely. Because I hate driving this much. Although, I do have the route mapped out and I am ready to leave at a moment's notice!

So, online playing has been good to me lately...have been doing well on the NL25 tables(5-max), and I'm starting to feel more comfortable at them, although I think there are times I imagine things and call down too much, which is OK in small pots, but I've been guilty of it in big pots as well, where I couldn't be ahead alot of the time. Also, my CB's are probably rampant as well...I make way to many of them no matter what the board is, as long as I have position. Sometimes I do just get into a mode where I won't give up a hand and bet into two or three people who called my raise with zilch, which is idiotic. But, I'm still fixin' up the bad moves...eventually I will have the balance between when to bet and when to check....and when to CR! I'm also going to have to look more at my PT stats and try to figure out where I can improves...although my sample is pretty small right now.

Jackson Rancheria, and then parlay that journey into gambling it up in SLT. That would be uber.
