Joey Knish FTW

mood: bored

Well it's been good to see some of the BTP crew again. We've all been hanging out, having good time. 12er is running like god again at TI, especially against me. There's no place like Vegas to hang out with some friends.

I've been playing great online. I've run my 2/4 and 3/6 winnings up to over 6k for the month now, which covers my 5/10 losses. In fact, if I hadn't played 5/10 at all my numbers would be heading towards an excellent February. As it is I'm not going to complain. I'm happy with where I am and where I'm going.

I'm certain I will move up again and eventually breakthrough. I have my sights set on a much bigger bankroll and a higher winrate

Random Hands:

This player is a total rock. I called preflop w/ 77 thinking I might have some steal equity, esp since he checks missed flops so often. As it is, he checked through twice. After I bluffed him out (but didn't show) he said, "My game is weak."

arg.. well the cake site is down so i'll put up a few from PT:

I thought I played this one well, but I outleveled myself calling the river push, thinking that my river bet looked weak enough he may push with a missed draw.

Why did you check the turn in the 2nd last hand?

How Does One Sleep Normal Hours?

Mood: I WANT TO SLEEP

Well, here I am again at 10:20am, wide awake and jolly. Keep in mind I haven't slept in about 20 hours. It's getting on my nerves.

Anyway, all is good in the poker world. I'm up like 4k on the month after starting down 7k at the 5/10. I've made it all back on mostly 2/4 and a little 3/6. A little 2/5 live as well. Speaking of live:

All of the BTP crew ended up sitting down at one of the juiciest 2/5 games I've ever played. It was at the Palms. Brian showed his disdain at wasting time at such a "low limit", but proved to be so sick profitable for him.

For the most part it was Scott, Brian, and I. Nick and Seth joined in for a short while. It was quite hilarious when Brian started tilting after I beat him in a pot with 97o. "You call 97 off from the BB vs my SB raise?" Then a horrible players interjects, "You guys are good. This guy (he points at me) is Number 1. You Number 2 (he points at Brian.)" Hahahhahahaha. I swear Brian started to steam.

Had a couple of interesting hands on that table:

Raise up [7c] from the button. BB (terrible, rich station) calls.

FLOP $40
[5c][6d]

He checks. I bet $30. He calls.

TURN $100
[5c][6d]

He checks. I bet $60. He calls.

RIVER $220
[5c][6d]

He bets $120. He looks at the table, quiet and still. A hand earlier, he made a big bet against Brian with a made hand. However, in that hand he stared boldy and confrontational. I decided he was probably weak.

I raise to $300. He insta-mucks. RHound asks, "Fives full Kenny?" lol.

------------------------

Tight moron raises to $20 from UTG. Bad player calls, I think another comes along, I call in the BB with [Ts]

FLOP$80
[4d][[9d]

I check. Raiser bets $30. Bad player calls. I think damn I have a lot of implied odds here if I spike a ten. lol. I call.

TURN $170
[4d][[9d]

I check. UTG bets $200 w/ 600 left. Bad player calls with $200 left. I push with about the same stack as UTG.

UTG thinks about ten seconds and calls. Bad player calls.

Seth calls out "Deuce of hearts!" and BOOM!

RIVER $ =fucking huge for a 2/5 game at the Palms.
[4d][[9d]

I flip, they both muck. We decided UTG had AA since he always went broke on overs, and the other guy had some sort of draw.

---------------------

Moron min raises UTG. Almost the entire table calls. I call on the button with [3c].

FLOP$70
[4s][3d]

UTG bets $30. Two guys calls, including one very tight player and one semi decent guy. I raise it to $130. UTG calls, then all hell breaks loose.

Tight players who called the initial $30 pushes all in for about $600!! The next guy thinks for a very long time, looks at my stack and his stack.. pretty obvious he's counting the money in the pot.. and calls with about $150 left.

Back to me. UTG makes it obvious he's going to fold. So I these other two to contend with. I'm quite sure the second guy is on a draw how he thought about his hand. But the guy that first pushed hasn't played a hand! And it was only minraised... even though he hasn't played a hand yet, he could certainly hold Q4. This is the Palms, afterall. I think for a while, not sure which way to go. I figure it was very, very close. I fold thinking that call would looks so bad if they show up with a set.

Turn and River are both 3's giving my folded hand quads. First guy flips over KINGS. KINGS!!!!!!?????!!!!?????!!!. Other guy said he has Q4 but I ask him later and he states monster draw. Bad fold Kenny.

------------

On a separate note:

Shaq looked great last night! Even though the Suns lost vs that formidable Lakers team, I think once the Suns gel it's gonna be a hell of a playoffs. We can rebound now!
