Attempt number 1 of keeping this updated.

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?

NON-POKER

LIFE

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......

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
