So I have been pretty busy lately and been playing lots of poker.
QUICK
POKER UPDATE
Took a week off at the end of august and went to cancun. Then came back on a tear. Crushed .5/1 for awhile and make over 2k last month. Then moved back to 1/2 and im up around 2k or so this month. If i didnt tilt away a few hundred one night id be very happy with my play.
Found a new website to addicted to. Tableratings.com :)
I'm currently number 1 if you search .5/1 cap NL for the YR. Do it soon though bc im sure ill get passed since i dont play there anymore.
LIFE
Interview time is on its way. 3 in the next week just to start.
No time for anything else
peace
BTW watch DEXTER and TRUE BLOOD 2 very good sick shows

I hate draws
I wake up after losing 7 caps yesterday and 4 the day. I start my session and 10 minutes in this happens. So I quit.
These hands all occurred in 8 minutes of each other.
I usually dont bitch about beats or coolers.
But when I lose 4 hands in 8 minutes to flush draws and a straight draw on the turn. I want to.

update
POKER
With finishing up my classes i haven't been able to play very often. After a bad day today I would estimate im up around 15 caps on the month + rakeback + bonus. So another decent month but nothing to be happy about.
My games are still always full of friends and regular and just arent that profitable. I cant wait til I can stop cashing out my profit every month to pay for my bills so i can actually build a bankroll and get out of this shitty level.
After watching a few deucescracked videos and having 3 of my friends playing at my tables i decided to try some sit n goes. Results in 21 sit n goes i'm up 8 buy ins. so i'm doing ok.
A month til i'm back in school so in between vacations i should be able to get some time for poker.
LIFE
Just finished up my summer graduate program. 12 hrs completed of grad school. Received a graduate certificate in Forensic Accounting and Fraud Investigation. pretty cool.
Have a informal interview with Dixon-Hughes (accounting firm) thursday in Charleston, SC. :)
Been home for a few days. Took out the boat (got sun burnt). realized i cant water ski. Taking out the jet skis tomorrow (hopefully the burn wont hurt that bad). Got to see some friends I havent seen in awhile and realized im behind. I think i should be getting married soon according to my calculations.
Ryan and I are going to visit Z in Charleston on WED. I miss that guy. I'm excited about the trip except for the long ass car ride. Then on August 7th if my passport is here in time. I'm going to Cancun with Koval and some fine ladies. I've never been out of the country or even been on an airplane so this should be fun.
dont feel like looking for some cool links and my tourney is starting sooo peace out

POKER
HAND HISTORY
1) http://www.pokerhand.org/?2821038
I should have bet the flop but i decided to get tricky with a monster vs 4 people. can you blame me. I think the river is a good card to bluff for him or even value bet if he happens to have the Ace. Anyone else call here?
2) http://www.pokerhand.org/?2821052
Shove, call or fold? I hate this turn card so much. I feel if i call. I'm facing a big bet out of position on the river no matter what.
3) http://www.pokerhand.org/?2821073
Call a river bet?
POLL OF THE DAY
Do you prefer to check behind or cbet these hands on this flop? (In position vs BB or limp/caller)
FLOP AQ10
1) AQ, A10, Q10
2) KQ, K10, QJ
3) 10s, qs
4) AK, AJ

So didn't get to see Wall-E.
Saw Wanted. :(.
My review: Cheesy. They tried to hard with the action. Shooting bullets with bullets. Blah Blah. Storyline was decent. If they movie was just about normal assassins not ones with "powers" and a few other things changed it would have been good. 2.5 Stars
Going to see Hancock Wednesday if anyone wants to join.

June Review
SWING SWINGS SWINGS thats my month.
up and down 30 caps at a time all month kinda nuts oh well i run WEIRD. Finishing up around 1400 not that good. But oh well. I seem to waste money playing HU or non cap games and i crush the .5/1 games. Lost like 600 at the other games. (new rule 12 hr restrictions when leave for the bar so i dont come home and play dumb games) Was up more dropped 300 at two cap tables the other day when some drunk guy was raising every hand then calling any shove. It was fun but to say the least everyone beat him and he beat me every time. Hard to quit when a guy is giving money away but had to after i lost 10 caps lol. WOW i run real bad to spew monkeys
Few Examples
AK lost to 74
AK vs AQ vs 63 (63 won)
three times i get it in with 10s or 9s vs him and every time he happened to have 2 overs and hit every time very cool huh
Got my monitor in from full tilt points and i have to say i LOVE it. So much better sitting in a office desk playing on a big monitor with a mouse than playing on my small macbook. (name dropping the mac)
Went to Wheeling casino for the first time a few weekends ago. Was kinda nervous never played at a casino before. Didnt know routines or customs. (tipping dealer etc) Never really played NL or Deep Stack NL before but I heard the games were soft so i went for it. Brought 500 with me to play 1/2 I was comfortable losing that. Sold of 25% to Zach to help lower the blow if I lost (lucky him) Lets just say old people suck, young people buy in small and suck and I loved it. 11 hrs later i left the table up 600.
Two favorite hands from wheeling:
I limp with 56s two other limpers guy raises everyone calls. flop a gut shot and a flush draw. guy bets i call, two other callers. Hit my flush. Guy bets like 10 into 90 pot i raise to 35. guy flat calls, orginal guy calls. river blank. checks to me. i value bet 50 and get called by both lol at them. just couldnt believe i made that much and got called by both on the river no clue what they had.
Next hand kinda crazy. Kid sits with 100 posts. and raises to 12 guy who calls everything calls. I reraise in blinds with AQs to 40 both call. Flop comes KsJsX. i bet 50. short stack folds, calling station calls. POT~220. X comes on turn and river and i just check to the guy both times. I knew he never folds a K and maybe not a J. I miss all my draws. He thinks for ever on the river and says "Trapping me with those KKs" and checks. I frown flip over A high and he says "its good" HAHAHAHA. Kid gets pissed and said he mucked QQs. So i scoop in 200 bucks with ace high gotta love it.
NON Poker Issue
Presentation went well. Feel much better about speaking in front of people still scary though. Have to do a 3 hr presentation with a 3 person group in about a month. Next part of my classes started. Did a mock search warrant at the crime scene house. Yes accountants leave the office and do fun shit. Our next case is on some crazy shit going down at a casino so it should be sweet.
Not sure what I wrote about my fishtanks last post but......
I like to spend my poker winnings on stupid things like fishtanks.
I Currently own:
55 Gallon with
1 Oscar
2 Jack Dempsey
1 Electric Blue African Cichlid
and a Crayfish
Lots of plants
30 Gallon with 4 Piranhas that tear up everything. and a crab that eats the heads of the fish leave. lots of plants in it too
10 Gallon
with Feeder Guppies we are raising
Roommates own:
10 Gal with Blood Parrot
10 Gal with tons of tetras
Time for Outback and WALL-E
Peace out

I seem to waste money playing HU or non cap games and i crush the .5/1 games. Lost like 600 at the other games. (new rule 12 hr restrictions when leave for the bar so i dont come home and play dumb games) Was up more dropped 300 at two cap tables the other day when some drunk guy was raising every hand then calling any shove. It was fun but to say the least everyone beat him and he beat me every time. Hard to quit when a guy is giving money away but had to after i lost 10 caps lol. WOW i run real bad to spew monkeys
Few Examples
AK lost to 74
AK vs AQ vs 63 (63 won)
three times i get it in with 10s or 9s vs him and every time he happened to have 2 overs and hit every time very cool huh
Got my monitor in from full tilt points and i have to say i LOVE it. So much better sitting in a office desk playing on a big monitor with a mouse than playing on my small macbook. (name dropping the mac)
Went to Wheeling casino for the first time a few weekends ago. Was kinda nervous never played at a casino before. Didnt know routines or customs. (tipping dealer etc) Never really played NL or Deep Stack NL before but I heard the games were soft so i went for it. Brought 500 with me to play 1/2 I was comfortable losing that. Sold of 25% to Zach to help lower the blow if I lost (lucky him) Lets just say old people suck, young people buy in small and suck and I loved it. 11 hrs later i left the table up 600.
Two favorite hands from wheeling:
I limp with 56s two other limpers guy raises everyone calls. flop a gut shot and a flush draw. guy bets i call, two other callers. Hit my flush. Guy bets like 10 into 90 pot i raise to 35. guy flat calls, orginal guy calls. river blank. checks to me. i value bet 50 and get called by both lol at them. just couldnt believe i made that much and got called by both on the river no clue what they had.
Next hand kinda crazy. Kid sits with 100 posts. and raises to 12 guy who calls everything calls. I reraise in blinds with AQs to 40 both call. Flop comes KsJsX. i bet 50. short stack folds, calling station calls. POT~220. X comes on turn and river and i just check to the guy both times. I knew he never folds a K and maybe not a J. I miss all my draws. He thinks for ever on the river and says "Trapping me with those KKs" and checks. I frown flip over A high and he says "its good" HAHAHAHA. Kid gets pissed and said he mucked QQs. So i scoop in 200 bucks with ace high gotta love it.
NON Poker Issue
Presentation went well. Feel much better about speaking in front of people still scary though. Have to do a 3 hr presentation with a 3 person group in about a month. Next part of my classes started. Did a mock search warrant at the crime scene house. Yes accountants leave the office and do fun shit. Our next case is on some crazy shit going down at a casino so it should be sweet.
Not sure what I wrote about my fishtanks last post but......
I like to spend my poker winnings on stupid things like fishtanks.
I Currently own:
55 Gallon with
1 Oscar
2 Jack Dempsey
1 Electric Blue African Cichlid
and a Crayfish
Lots of plants
30 Gallon with 4 Piranhas that tear up everything. and a crab that eats the heads of the fish leave. lots of plants in it too
10 Gallon
with Feeder Guppies we are raising
Roommates own:
10 Gal with Blood Parrot
10 Gal with tons of tetras
Time for Outback and WALL-E
Peace out

Grad school rocks/ Presentations scare me
Started my grad program about 4 weeks ago (Forensic Accounting and Fraud Investigation) and yes it is as cool as it sounds. Though I have to give my first presentation tomorrow. 20-25 minutes long and i have a huge fear of public speaking. To emphasis this I dropped my public speaking class after day one when i left before i had to give my induction of myself to the class lol.
In other news the LOST season finale was out of control. Another great season guys. And how about the last 2 episodes of House this season WOW. My Lakers are getting crushed in the finals :(. But to hedge my disappointment I made some nice bets on the Celtics so If they win the series in 4 or 5 games I will unfortunately be a more wealthy man.
Poker Update. Had my first losing month last month :(. well with the rakeback i finished up a whopping $1 not bad for 80hrs of play lol. Oh well that happens. Starting this month on the right side up around almost 900 so far.
Gonna be in a teaching mode this summer with 2 of my roomates and a friend learning to play. Wow its so hard to go back to the days when didnt understand why AAKKK lost to 88AAA. Should be a good time. I seem to think better about poker and follow my own rules better when i am teaching someone else.
Well after my horrible presentation im going to have to give tomorrow I am done with classes for almost 2 weeks. I see 12 hr poker sessions in my near future. And some reading as I bought a sit n go book and both of harringtons cash books. I also recently became a member of Deucescracked.com so video watching will also be occurring.
SIDENOTE: For my one class my group and I wrote a very good paper on Online Poker and frauds that can occur. I had the opportunity to interview a representative of Poker Stars so that was fun. (Full Tilt decline..Bastards). This paper will be getting published in the future so look for a link to come.
Until next time. Peace out

Starting Fresh
The last few months havent been that good to me. Atleast at the tables. I feel im running bad but i KNOW im not playing as well as I used to.
I decided to make some changes. First I cashed out ALOT paid off my Credit Card (bought a computer on it last year after mine got stolen) and Set aside 5 months of money in my checking to pay bills. Gonna take a few days maybe a week of then come back focused. Playing .5/1 CAP NL
Thanks to Chad for the comment on my hands. I haven't even looked at this in weeks but I plan to update more.
My grad classes started this past week and its gonna be one hell of a summer. So my hrs might actually decrease a lot but after July 17th. Its going to be game on for a Month.
Anyway reading 300 pgs this weekend so I'll try and post some HH after that.

Needing some help
This month has looked like this so far. Down 300, to up 500, to even.
-down 10 caps after first 2 days
-up 16 caps after 4 days( 26 up swing in 2 days)
-back to even. (16 cap downswing in 2 days)
I'm only playing 4 tables and focusing as much as possible. Should I be having such high swings?
Hand Questions
1. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2572280
ok this is just something small. this guy is pretty loose and aggressive. I'm not sure what line to take here. Maybe call. then fold to turn bet
2. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2572313
I know he could have the flush or the straight. But ive seen this guy smash pot after people checked so many times. I'm assuming i should just fold though.
3. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2572330
I never know what to do in these situations
4. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2572351
So i went for a value bet on the river. Bad fold? I dont think someone c/rs without the straight or fullhouse here. maybe an 8?
5. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2572364
Fold to big river bet?
6. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2572369
I played this horrible. I feel like if i raise the flop. I never get any action. unless they have an ace. which from a button raiser is very unlikely. I realize i should stop trying to get so tricky though.
7. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2572381
How do u play this flop? Jimbo is agg. so if i check he is gonna fire the turn.
I thought i had more saved but i guess not
another hand went like this
UTG raised
cut off called
AQ on button for me. I call
BB calls
Flop comes A34
check, check, cut off bets half pot. I call, BB shoves, Cutoff folds.
Fold or call?
I also need help with pots where theres a limp/caller and a blind calls and i miss. I feel like everytime I cbet somone calls me. and if i dont cbet they bet the turn. I try and cbet on XXFacecard flops.
when u know somone is limp/calling with small pp and the board comes 946 or something and u have high cards they call ur cbet and X comes on the turn. if i check they call my river bet or lead out river. if i bet they still call me. these situations happen alot.
Gutshot and flushdraw. worth all in on flop right?
pretty much. i cant make the good folds. i can get paid off with hands. though they come few and far apart these days.

Stressed Out
I can't stop running into coolers. I just want to have time to play. I have so much school work. I'm fuckin tired.
Oh heres my new theory since the last 4 times i've done this ive seen to lose.
EX) Raise UTG with AQ middle position calls...flop comes AQX. I cbet. then C/r the turn. get him all in and he has KJ.....SPOILER river 10 comes. Surprise. So i lose a CAP
4 times today this happened where i got all in on the turn massive ahead and lost. So maybe i should just Double Barrell let them fold their gut shot and save me some money. what do u think

Random Stuff
Just turned 22. Had a great weekend with some good friends.
Got into graduate school. Start 2 days after graduation. sweet.
Time to start paying bills with poker. Which will be fun but stressful. Not excited about that after my 2000 some down swing. I plan to have 6 months of bill money set aside. As of now i have 3 so hopefully i can have a good month of poker soon.
After that swingy month of March and losing another 600 to start off April i decided to pay my boy back and cash out another 1000 and drop back to .5/1. I'm trying to get lots of hours in this month since building my rakeback up will help with the bill saving. So i run between 6-9 tables now. If i cant get the CAP going im gonna start playin 6 max turbo sit n goes. A friend of mine is having pretty good success with those. For now im gonna start with $22. Up $16 after 9 of those today. Nothing to be happy about but atleast i didnt lose any. Lost 3 coinflips HUs or maybe that profit would have been a little higher.
I have a hell of a week of school coming up. 2 exams, 3 quizzes, and 3 papers as well as a 10 page paper next week, but im gonna try and start posting more than twice a month lol. (not that anyone reads this but just incase) I cant focus on school now im just sick of it. Once my new classes start ill be motivated again but for now these classes arent important to me. But im sure ill end up with atleast a 3.4 on the semester.
So many of our friends play now and more are gonna start and friends of friends are playin. I feel like everytime im at a table i see someone i know. Which may or may not be good.
No HH for now but after a few session i will. I dont have pokertracker and well running 9 tables its hard to copy and paste when it happens but ill do my best.
gonna take a few hrs sometime when im bored and figure out how this site works and make my page a little more interesting
That might be it.
Peace,

Coinflips are not 50/50
This month started off amazing. First month playin 1/2. After rakeback and winning another small tournament i was up 3k in 2 weeks. Should have stopped then. After that i've been on the worst run of cards i have every had. I'm down 2k in 5 days. I have a 5 cap stop loss. I dont even want to imagine what would happen if i didnt stop then. 7 straight 5 cap loss sessions so depressing. 0-14 in my last coinflips. No joking. I've been counting. SIDENOTE: I cant feel my knuckles, i normally can handle losing but this is just crazy. When i was o-13 I went in with AK vs JJ fop came AAQ but river J. So decided to take my anger out on a wall. Well now im down 2k and cant feel my hand. NOT SMART note to self punch a pillow.
Not playin again til monday. for which im going to play one week of .5/1 then cash out down to 7k in my account and start fresh in april. Not sure if i'll be at 1/2 or .5/1. I can beat 1/2 its not hard. But losing 600 and 700 in a day is really annoying. Still up 5k on the year and tripled my account since January 1st. I just want to be able to play and pay rent/bills for the upcoming yr while at grad school. I make atleast 600 in rakeback a month so i suppose just sending that home will pay the bills.
In other news LOST rocks and the first 8 episodes of this season has made this season better than any other season. Cant wait til April 24th for some new ones. BTW when in the hell is Heroes gonna come back?
Going to spend some of my poking winnings this week for the first time since i've started. Need to reward myself for this stress i deal with. Taken 500 bucks and going to the Outlets to get some sweet clothes. Cant wait.

Summary of February
This has been a very interesting month. At one point I was on a 30 cap downswing. I ran extremely bad for most of the month. Which led to some bad playing to go along with it. I feel i'm better than most people at my level. When i'm at a table of no names I crush it, but i'm not making enough money against the regulars. I don't think any of them are better than me. They just seem not to pay me off as much as they should. Next month I plan to get a much better read on the regulars and dominate them. I'm ending today and taking the last 2 days of the month off. After having 3 weeks of either losing money or breaking I finally made money this past week. Finished up in cash [even though i lost 350 today :( ] this week and had a nice victory in a tournament to give me a plus month.
Next month I plan to continue to play .5/1 maybe splash in some 1/2 (which i'm up lifetime). Play some more tournaments. Make better player dependent reads. Stick to my 5 cap loss rule. My goal is to make 2k next month. I fell about 800 below that this month, but I feel if I take away my horrible downswing i would have easily made it.
Here is a lot of HH from the past few weeks.

Donkaments
Finally made money this month. Played in a stupid $5 tournament today while i was studying. Wanted to work on my tournament play during the mid stages of it. Figured id practice a little. First two hands were AA then KK and took people out on both. So I felt like it was supposed to be a good tourney for me. Anyways played real agg once the antes came in. Hit some nice hands. Led from 15th down and one the entire thing. Made a little over 1k. Not bad for $5 lol. Ill be posting lots of HH from this past week. As my cash game has still be running bad. Though i finally had an up day yesterday making a little over 300.
Add another tournament victory under AuthRuths belt. Hopefully I can start hitting the bigger tournaments once i get my strategy down.

EVEN
Finally even on the month. Poker this weekend was to say the least interesting. I decided to play a lot of different stuff. Played some $30 sit n goes (lost money). Played some deep stack. (even) Cap game (even). Played tourneys on Sunday (up $200)
I decided to play lots of tourneys on Sunday for the hell of it. Signed up for 5 or 6 $10, $5 tourneys. About to start a tournament/Wire marathon, when Soccermom84 gives me a ring and wants to know if I wanted to play in the FTOPS $500 buy-in Main Event. (ofcourse with him taking a big % of me bc i cant afford to play that) So I played in it.
He got screwed with AA vs 88 guy turned an 8. I somehow cashed which was sweet. Not that $200 is awesome but being able to say i cashed in such a big tournament makes me feel good.

I decided to play lots of tourneys on Sunday for the hell of it. Signed up for 5 or 6 $10, $5 tourneys. About to start a tournament/Wire marathon, when Soccermom84 gives me a ring and wants to know if I wanted to play in the FTOPS $500 buy-in Main Event. (ofcourse with him taking a big % of me bc i cant afford to play that) So I played in it.
He got screwed with AA vs 88 guy turned an 8. I somehow cashed which was sweet. Not that $200 is awesome but being able to say i cashed in such a big tournament makes me feel good.

Valentines Day
Another Valentines Day has come and gone. Thats all I have to say about that.
So i'm reading an article for class right now and i'm running one table of poker bc well im addicted. I've never been so bored. One table is awful. Its all fold fold fold fold fold. Stats so far 45 hands. Flop seen 2. Kill me now.
Played a little more 8 tables deep stack .10/.25 today broke even but its so much fun to be able to play "creative" poker. Much more thinking then CAP. Made some nasty bluffs but i lost my document with the hands on it so no HH from that sorry.
Today's 1st cap session went pretty well. Started off playing only regulars. 2 tables of tilted425, heidegger_83, and I. Both good players not people i'm afraid to play but probably not as profitable situation as i would have liked. Ended up one cap at those. Then got some more action. Ended the day up. I feel like i set mine too much. I call with pp all the time from the blinds even in a 2 way pot. Probably not profitable. Need to work on that.
2nd session consisted of JJ vs QQs KKvsAA 7s vs 9s on a 5 high board a Bad Beat with Qs, great read by me on the turn...not rewarded. ALL AT ONE TABLE IN TWO HRS. WTF. I feel like thats alittle much dont you think. Pretty much broke even on the day. I am so pissed off about my results so far this month.
Heres some HH

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2104140
I just sat at the table and wanted an aggressive image. Probably not the best poker ive played but the result is funny.

This is why you dont fold to min raises and you dont min raise yourself.

Poker > Business Law
After yesterdays evil poker session. I decided to drop a few levels and play .10/.25 NL 8 tables. Made half my money back and gain a new respect for deep stack players.
After 4 hours of Business Law reading (halfway done for the night) and watching MUCKEMSAYUHH play Ivey HUs, I decided to have a short session. Why not I gotta get my Daily Points for Iron Man. Todays session was what I call a successful day for the month. Ended up once cap. F'in Sweet. Better than a down day. Played well other than the fact i can't fold when i know they have aces.
Heres some Hand History from the day. Leave comments thanks
Not Sure why the links aren't "clickable". Zach help me out.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2092640
I'm not pissed about the set. Quick question though. Once I raise with A9s I have to go broke when i hit my Ace right?
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2092657
Is this a good spot to check raise or should have I Cbet like normal? I feel like if i miss the turn out of position is tricky to play. Id rather get it all in on the flop.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2092664
Sick Cooler
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2092670
Too many outs to fold right? even thought its a crazy overbet
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2092678
Donk call by me? Should I led the turn?
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2092687
Another sick beat
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2092690
The entire hand i knew he had aces why cant i fold
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2092693
Aces again no way. Can I fold the flop? Should I fold/ or shove preflop?

I hate poker because poker hates me
So I had to create this to comment on a friends blog. (if not i thought i had to). Anyway I didnt plan on actually writing anything in these but im pretty much on tilt so im trying relieve some stress. Throwing water bottles in the street works but not all the time.
A little about myself. I'm a 21 year old accounting major at WVU. I graduate in May but i'm going to grad school so another year before real life starts. Ive been playing poker for the past few years, but only recently building a bankroll thanks to a few new good friends. I watch a lot of TV series. This blog will consist of me bitching about poker. Asking for help about poker and a few insights on LOST.
Poker really started off great this year. Had my biggest most successful month in January. Up 2400. But then Feb. 1st came. Apparently the poker gods understand changes in month. Feb stats 9 down days one even day. one up day. overall down 450 this month. I dont understand. Playing the same game as last month. Playing the same level as last month. I'm pretty sure im just running bad/tilting some money away. I play on a MAC and PokerTracker doesnt support MAC so i dont have any stats or graphs to show my adjusted equity but im guessing im running below equity.
To sum up my day. I flopped the nuts and a guy turned quads on me. Nice one outer. Thats my month. After that i busted a few water bottles in the street and canceled my study sessions for the day.
So about the title of my BLOG. Well Lil Wayne is one of my favorite rappers and his song "The Sky is the limit" puts me in the mood for poker. The lines "I should try to make a living,
I tell em' imma hustler and I'd rather make killin'' and "Don't worry bout mine, imma grind till I get it And tell all of my niggas that the sky is the limit " make me wanna believe lil wayne is a poker player though im positive he had other things on his mind when he wrote this.
Time to do some school work.
Peace out,
AuntRuth53 (poker SN, I'm actually a guy)
