6 hr session at Commerce yesterday with the GF watching..........



Suicide note coming soon.

Trainwreck was the best desription of the session at commerce. In 6 hrs i didnt win a single hand at showdown. I won 4 hands, none of which I collected a single bet other than preflop. I flopped better than 1 pair once and that was top 2 against a straight.I got my money in good, bad, on a draw and lost all of them. Always nice when the Gf is sitting behind me trying to learn and I have my worst session of the year. Table was juiy as anything, but that can be a really bad thing when you run really cold, since the retardedly low level of play increases the variance. When my 3 bets get called by 92o.

AA<< flush on the turn
KK << A4 Ace on the turn after flopping a 4
JJ << 86 flopped 2 pair
TT << AQ AAK flop
TT << QJ hit his flush on the river
AK << AQ Q high flop
AQ << J8 AJJ flop
JT << 97 on a JT8 flop
<< 96 on a T , turn was a T but river brick
99 << AA when villian open shoved for $120 with AA

-1084 in 6 hrs

you suc at the pokers also ia m durgnbk i lve you ect..

smily face and all thsat stuff

Proper exit stratagy for a 10k on bodog, flop the nut straight and an open ended strigaht flush redraw vs the table retard who limped kk in MP

I am BB with 2200 chips blinds 50/100, I get K . 3 limpers, SB completes, I check flop is . I lead 400, mp mins, I push. He has K . Obv 7 outs is >> anything I could have. At least this damn this is over, i think I might just not play again til after I get back to SD, maybe after new years. I obviously shouldnt be playing, right now.

Good thing my GF likes me because the poker gods sure dont. Story tommorrow.

I have just decided the poker gods hate me. The last 2 sessions have been freakin horrible, there really is nothing more frusrtating in poker than sitting with a bunch of awful players and not being able to make a hand that has been most of the my last 20 hrs of play at commerce.

Yesterday I played with MBuckler and KJo at commerce.

The session starts the normal way for me, I got the first 2+ hrs without winning a hand and am stuck $350 before I win a hand. The table is awesome at first a bunch of players trying to give money away. To bad I cant make a hand.

I made one good bluff and of course by good bluff I mean stupid bluff since the players at 2/5 Can't fold an over pair(see next hand). I call a $15 raise with . 5 ways to the flop. Flop is 2. PFR leads $20, I CR to $75, he pushs with 99 after some BS how he has been taking awful beats all day but he just cant fold this big a hand.

The one hand I make while the table is still good is of course against the only NIT at the table. I am UTG with 66, limps around flop is 622. I check NIT bets $30, I smooth call. Turn is a 4, I check NIT bets $40, I raise to $100. He thinks for a second, says your 2 is good and folds. I show him a 6, and he tells me that wasn't good. I have to flop my set against the one player at the table who can fold a damn overpair.

So the table gets cold but of course by now i have almost a tripple stacks so I dont wanna get up. Of course with the table is Nittastic is when I get my little rush of cards for the day. I steal the blinds like 6 times and that is all.

KJo gets there and we go and get some dinner.

Get back to the poker room after eating the greasiest chicken breast sandwich ever. Get to another good table with one of the worst poker players ever, he is a 50+ Armenian guy with a bald head, to much cologne, and chest hair popping out of his shirt which is unbuttoned at least 2 buttons to low. The guys is whining at the dealer. He starts with $200 bucks and whines that he is already stuck 2k from playing 8/16.

So to set this whole thing up one of the oddest hands in a long time. I am the button with 65o everyone limps so do I. Flop is J85r. BB bets $10, 5 callers to me, I call, SB says raise puts out $30 and trys to grab another stack. String raise is called so everyone else calls so do I. Turn is a 2, Guy that wanted to make a big CR checks, bad player in MP bets $60, moron Armenian dude makes it $100. Everyone including the CR fold back to the bettor who pushs for $100 more. I say someone must have been on that two draw. The guy next to me says it has to be J2. I say nope i think its 62. Armenian dude looks at me as the dealers and says "You need to stop talking, before I smack you. You are like my son you think you know everything." I really wanted to invite him to go ahead and try but I dont fight at a poker table it really is just stupid and of course he was pissed because he tables 62 and the other player had KK.

So now this guy goes on a sick rush .He flopped trips 4 times in less than an hour. He cracks AA with K7 on a k44 flop. He calls $100 cold with 47 and flops a straight against KK.He gets up to $1500 and is bitching that he needs $800 to get even.

So as you would expect he starts blowing off money, to everyone except me that is. He snaps with JJ with k6. I turn a flush draw and he bets the turn, I call a miss of course.

I then go ice cold. It really didnt even cost me much, I must have gone the next 2 hrs playing 3 or 4 hands outside of my blinds. I went 9 hands in a row with a deuce in it.

The bad Armenian guy has now pissed through most of the $1500 and is down to maybe $300 and it cursing up a storm about how unlucky he is.

I get , I start the hand with $200 Armenian moron covers. I call his $20 raise preflop from MP4 to the flop. Flop is 3. Checks around turn . He leads $40, I raise to $100, he shoves. I call he of course raised out of the blinds and catches his money card. Obviously I don't suck out.

I rebuy for $300. I am the button with 66. 4 limpers to me, I have barely played a hand so I figure this might be a good time to pick up some limpers. I make it $30, SB calls which usually causes the chain reaction, but he is the only caller. Flop is A , he checks. I bet $40, he smooth calls. Turn , I bets $100, he shoves I have $150 left. I call he tables KK, no one outter obviously.

-$485 12hrs

so i take it session #2 didnt go so hot?

So 2008 has gotten off to a great start, I played on Friday at Palomar, god hates me. I finally made some hands played well I was up $775 then a 4 hr string of suckouts galore killed me.

I straddle, shorty has promised that after getting down to $16 after the last hand he is putting it in dark. He does 3 players call. I look down at AA I make it $65. Everyone folds, he asks if I have AA, I say yes, he says no good. Flop is Q98 and he turns over JTo.

I get AA limp UTG, moron makes it $15, SB calls. I make it $60, PFR folds, middle eastern guy calls. Flop is 764, he checks, I bet $100, he calls. Turn Q, he checks, I put him in for his last $160, he calls. River 5, he tables 89 for the nuts.

I raise AK to $18 get 2 callers. Flop is A92, checks to me, I lead $30, shorty shoves for $50 something more. I call, turn 3 river 3 and he tables A3.

I raise to $26 in a straddle with AQ, one caller. Limper shoves for $75. I reshove to isolate, he has Q7 and flops a 7.

A hand I played like shit though it prolly doesn't matter, my awful turn check prolly ended up costing me less. I limp in MP with , flop is A , I lead $20 get 2 callers. Turn brick, I check hoping to CR and get all my chips in. River is a K (grrrrrrr), BB bets $45, I call, player behind pushes for $150, bettor snap calls all in. I fold, both had QJ, the button had and I don't think he is folding regardless.

I limp in a straddle pot from the button with . Flop is . BB bets $25, Mp raises to $75, good player in front of me calls. He is on his first buy in so he had $300 to start the hand. I figured he either has a set, top 2, or the nut flush draw so I shove. BB folds, MP calls all in. Good players takes his time asks me if I have a set of jacks. Finally calls with 77, MP has QJ. So I am getting a coin flip for better than 2:1 and of course miss everything.

One more debacle with AA. Terrible black guy moved to the main game with $1800 and is now down to $350. I am the in LP with AA, moron makes it $15, I raise to $60, BB calls leaving him $200 left. Flop is 4. BB leads $50, moron calls, I shove. BB folds, black guy calls. Turn 6 river 8. He tables 97o.

Thats all I can take and I leave down $24. I played a total of 12hrs ran ok for the first 8 then 4 hrs of brutality. Losing with AA all three times I got it all in each time really sucks, especially when I got it all in better than 3:1 each time. I flopped 1 set in 12 hrs, I pretty much don't flops sets anymore, they used to make me money the last 400 hrs, I am behind with sets.

Then on Saturday while waiting for Devbert, I played for 1 hr didnt win a hand and lost $98.

Kuso, I think you take this shit way to seriously. The title of my journal is a joke, 2008 has sucked so far but its kinda hard to say that 2008 has sucked after 5 days. I have been running bad in my last couple sessions.

Kuso obviously you haven't played a lot of live poker, playing for 12 hrs being up 2.5 buy ins, and getting your money in way ahead a bunch of times and ending up even feels about as good as losing 2 buy ins. Was I ahead ev when I was up $700, probably some, but I pretty much played the same. I got a couple of people who were nice enough to suck bad enough to give me money, and I caught 2 bluffs. I lost another big pot while in my "good 7hrs" when I flopped trips against some dude who flopped a pair and a gutty and tried to semibluff the turn and caught his bigger boat on the river, so not that much over EV.

Obviously playing with morons is larger variance. It still doesnt keep it from being frustrating when you have a run of suckouts, especially after playing well for 7 hrs to get ahead.
