MHIG!!! Queen high beats 10 9o
That set her off into more tilt and confused half the table!

Damn bad beats just keep coming. Called casino just now because I am bored and ready for making more gambol and I get told the 75 game broke only an hour ago. I wasted all that time losing 2k in 10/20-15/30 online when I could have played live and lost 10k instead. The game was probably either really good or really bad because I got calls from Rob and Roc trying to get me to come play.

The two biggest pots of the night both featured me flopping a set and having roughly 80% equity and losing. The two pots totaled 66 bets.

I woke up at 1am again. Today will be like one of those "create your own story" Goosebumps books where after every few pages it tells you to flip to a page depending on what you want to happen. Should I:

1. Stay home and watching the Simpsons for 15 hours?
2. Play Resident Evil 4 on the Wii/Rainbow 6 Vegas on 360?
3. Stay home and play online because there are a couple good games going?
4. Go play 75/150 because I got a call like 6 hours ago that there was actually a game going somewhere?
5. Sit here and make more dumb posts?

Wtf it's "Choose Your Own Adventure" LDO

[HOWMANY]

This is a very boring adventure. Now I'm watching a bunch of CR NL vids. This will probably be followed by me 4 tabling 1/2 or 2/4 NL for a while before quitting out of mind numbing boredom in an hour whether I'm winning or losing. Then I will sit in front of the tv and watch Simpsons until Law and Order comes on. Then I'll watch more Simpsons. Then I'll drive to Oceans if there's a 75 game going, if not I will go straight to Commerce and play all night. Since things seemed to turn around a bit for me last week I was going to play 1/2 but now I got raped my last two sessions so I'm going to just play more 60. If I run good (it is possible and it has happened before) I might play 1/2 but again my confidence is shattered so I must play with droolers to make myself feel better.

I was actually going to suggest this but private joker disappeared

[ggbman]

So i have run pretty bad this month and will not meet monetary goals, but in all honesty this is the first month is like 3 years where i have just legitimatley took a lot of days off and felt good about, so i didn't put in enough hands (prolly like 25kish)

Fortunatley i crushed the commerce while i was in LA for a week so i think i am still like +14k on the month which is fine, and it marks 5 straight winning months, my longest stretch in some time (beat) Somehow this summer, after a long time playing poker and a ton hands, i have mastered the arts of both playing my A game at lower limits and scaling back goals and how much i play to a point where i dont ever feel compelled to play. Pretty good valuable stuff there, as i used to SUCK at both those things.

Also i have gotten a bit of money into stars finally, i think my plan will be to camp at 10-20 and 15-30, and play higher when the games are good or when i feel the urge to get unstuck quickly. It's amazing how much less stressful 6 handed 15-30 is than HU 30-60 regardless of how overrolled you are for the game.

I think my goals for the school year are to

1.)play 35-40k hands a month (generally easy for me, but courseload and the gf will make this a bit harder than usual)

2.) Average 20k a month while in school and not have more than 1 losing month in this period... Should def. not be too hard assuming i stick to playing most of my hands at lower limits, but if i play higher more than i want to i might avrage more with a bunch of losing months. Then again once i have 75k hands breakevens my play deteriorates so thats a merit to playing lower with a larger edge.

3.) Get a 3.5 GPA. This is so doable, but it i need to focus on school and make it more of priority. I start my major courses this year, so i can try to do well and report only my major GPA... Just gotta play a bit less poker and give piority to school work, and most importantly attend more classes/pay better attention.

4.) Have fun... drink and smoke a lot, play a lot of FIFA, party hard, keep the gf happy, and dont stress

5.) Get into real estate more, start/continue building a portfolio

6.) Get an internship. I dont really want to do this at all, but not doiung so would negate a large part of the benefit of a 160k or whatever investment college is going to be so i might as well have some options in case i suck at poker and real estate.



If anyone is wondering why this post is so [censored] random, i am in this happy medium of being drunk and high where i can process thoughts and type cohenrently, but cannot seem to keep to one topic or have any sort of flow to how i articulate my crunked thoughts, and also feel this urge to ramble like a [censored] moron. Weird. Usually i cannt type when i a, this [censored] up.
