Bah, guess im forgettable, or else it wasn't nice meeting me. Just had a very very good turn of events the last 2 days. I was drinking heavily and watching the ASU game yesterday, and had 5k in my wallet all ready to burn it in a 40/80 or 60/120 game, but didn't get a ride, and passed out instead. Then I won about 60bbs in a 20/40 game today in 10 hours...and played AA amazingly against Howard, although he doesn't like my 'change up' play. Maybe he will think twice when value betting next time.

Being shown those Aces was a big WTF!?! moment for me. I prolly wouldn't have paid a river c/r but, still,.......

60bbs! Nice. I only won a rack but I'm on a steady, daily grind at least.

Yeah, I

=/ poker, was +7 like first 2 days this weekend then somehow got trainwrecked with the coup de grace being a small 6k loss in 150 and 2/4 mix that was like 16k at one point. i continue to never receive a winning hand in 1/2 holdem, i thought i had fixed that by running good at mixed games but i forgot that as soon as the game gets above a certain size i just magically never win any hands

also turns out that roc's a scumbag which is surprising since he always seemed like a good guy to me

[bugstud]

details?

Bah, having connection problems....here is what my last post was supposed to say:

Yeah, I was playing well, and ran very well with my hands, and I wasn't even getting out of line preflop or postflop like I had been. On that aces hand, my plan on the turn was a river check raise, but I froze, didn't think I would get paid off, and didn't really want to puke if you threebet, so I wussed out. Same result as if I bet/bet/bet, which is what I do against non thinking players.

I was definately on top of my game, and would have paid off a lot more when I shouldn't have. For example, I get QT in BB, the guy in seat 6 limps in EP, SB calls, I call. Flop comes AQT, check, check, and he checks. I instantly start to dislike my hand more then if he bet. Turn comes a 2, no flushes, not that he would raise on a flush draw. Check, I bet, he raises, SB folds, I fold face up, pot was way too small to call down and get shown down the KJ that he has waaay too often.

Another time our big complainer in the 1 seat had been complaining all day about how I couldn't miss. I wasn't needing to bluff at all because I was hitting hands when I had them, and getting paid off. But I picked up a flush draw on the turn, and there was also a flush draw on the flop, so I am like sweet, I have about half the deck to win. So my non flush flush comes in, and he checks, I bet, he started muttering about standard, and how I haven't missed a hand all day, and he calls. Boooooooo.

But I had a bit of a downturn and even in my mind mentally listed the amount in my bankroll that if I hit it, it was back down to 8/16, but now those thoughts are out of my mind for a bit!

P.S. How was Denny's?

Bet,bet/bet makes you less, actually. I fold the turn UI. But you take a chance that I check behind on the turn which I probably should've done considering that it was you and then I can a free card to beat you. Anyway, I felt like a shnook that hand after I dusted-off those chips w/ 'only' TPTK and I find that I've got to say 'sorry' again for my outburst. (For those who may be wondering I shouted 'What's the matter with you?' because he didn't c/r the river on me).

There is almost nobody who I don't like or at least can't put up with or begrudge but I've been playing against that guy for something like 8 years and I don't think I've talked to him for 1 hour total over all that time. He's a solid pro player who's made a lot of money in that game and he can't stand to take a loss. It looks like he's on a significant downswing over the past month or 2 and it's making him worse in the whining department. Which I'm enjoying because he's always so smug and superior when he wins. This is probably small of me but I can't help it.

Same old, same old. But mom says no more Denny's after 10pm because she's tired the next day so there is that.

And remember me bragging that I was beating online 3-6 6-max for a $100/hour? Well, it's down to $20/hr now. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

And by "scumbag," I mean "hey he's all right I guess haha."
