For better or for worse the card room plan has been set in motion. We have requested the tables/chairs and chips and I will probably start training a couple of dealers (the wife of my associate and my sister in law) soon.

I am really finding it hard to put in any kind of long session. A subpar kind of morning but a small profit nonetheless mainly due to bonus clearing.

Got alot of small detail things that I need to take care of if I am going to get this card room up and running by May1. Small things like making placards for the tables and acquiring missing blind buttons etc. The big parts are coming together nicely but the culmination of all of the small things is usually what keeps things together so I am trying to get all of that ordered in my mind.

On top of the worse set of suckouts I have ever faced in 2-7 Triple Draw in any single session I may have faced worse in the limit sessions that followed. Dealt a pat #2 HU in TD and lose, dealt a pat wheel in TD and tie and so forth and so forth.

All I can is thank god this day is over with. Just a nightmare run of bad beats and not terrific playing. Finished the night with getting my set of Aces cracked by QJ on a AKxx10 board.

Well sportsfans this afternoon has been phucking ugly. Makes me nauseated when I lose to a bunch of idiots who come off looking like world class players when they hit every phucking card in the deck nearly every phucking hand against me. Got to cleanse myself of these beats here so perhaps I can get back to work on a late evening session and try to make things right. Just a couple examples in the midst of a damn massacre.

The morning session has definately been better than what befell me last night although still couldn't manage to dodge a couple of long shots for a couple more big pots but can't complain to badly when you can take down near 200.00 pots with AK when 3278 people call your preflop raise.

Kind of a blah morning session although did manage to turn a decent profit thus far.

Got to talk to Lee Jones at Pokerstars this morning while playing and asked him if there was anything in the works to implement a rotational mixed game and much to my surprise he said that discussions about this was in the process. He gave me an email to drop a line at and if anyone else in interested in this kind of thing I am sure the more emails they receive in its behalf the more likely it will come about: ideas@pokerstars.com.

Another winning but kind of shitty morning. Was up quite a bit more but made a bad laydown on the turn in one hand although can't fault myself too much from the action of the hand.

Another real trying session where I ran top two into sets about 4 times I think but didn't manage to lose the maximum because they refused to reraise me for the most part. Also another couple of cats thought it real nice to slow play straights and flushes and saved me a bundle when they refused to bet their hands. If you are going to win at limit holdem in my opinion you just need to forget the tricky shit most of the time and just bet your hand if you have something particularly when heads up. There are certainly many times to go for a flop CR or outright slowplay, etc. given your opposition, texture of the board and your hand but for the most part if you flop a hand that you intend to play just bet the phucker.

For all the guys playing the B2B network don't forget to put your VIP points to use in S & G's or what have you. Haven't used any of mine yet until just a few minutes ago. Played a 10+1 S & G for 1000 VIP and finished 3rd. Got my money all in against the chip leader with AK and he had J9, flop 9 see you later but still a free 20 euros for the time.

Well shit. I got phucked a little on the Pokerdandy bonus because I screwed up and didn't deposit enough to get teh 400 euros because of the exchange rate. I ended up depositing 397.74 euros and only got credit for 380 euros of bonus. Did the same damn thing at Wasa so I will only be able to get 560 euros there.

Perhaps I should just give up holdem and become an other game internet specialist I have put up some blistering numbers over the past two months in a wide variety of "other" poker games. Found my favorite B2B fish occupying a Soko game so I joined up but he left after 5 hands although I managed to pick up a couple of nice pots before he did so.

Managed to finish up with the Betsson bonus finally. Nice to get that one knocked out and get a big chunk of my money back in circulation in other places. Also got some more of the Pokerpoint B2B done but still a large portion of that one to go along with another B2B that I haven't even started yet that has to be finished by the 28th.
