happy halloween!

a little late but whatever...

poker was shockingly slow today.. the holidays are usually booming with drunken players drooling and waiting to hand me their chips. But I guess halloween's different unfortunately. I still ended up in the green for the night but didn't reach my 20 game goal again.

tomorrow I plan on recording a video of a game or two and posting it on 2p2 so i can get someone other than my mom to read my blog (hi mom!:)

off to watch dexter before i pass out.. gnite

moving down :(

so my shot taking at 100nl didn't go too well.. i lost a bunch and decided i can't handle the swings at hu cash yet. I went back to where I think I'm most comfortable and skilled.. hu sngs!

At the moment I'm going to play the $20s since my hourly is probably the best there for a few reasons imo and see how it goes after a month.

I also have been slacking on actual volume so my goal is to play at least 20 games every day I'm able to play. Last night I ended up playing 20 games even after the tilt sessions at 100nl and 50nl cash games.. but I ended up losing a couple buyins. I still feel more comfortable playing these games and confident that my winrate at these games will be huge.

I'm also thinking of posting some videos of me playing a few sit n gos on my blog for better players to spot my leaks (hopefully) or for other players' entertainment. I'm a lot more motivated in getting better after getting soul crushed.

that's my last 10k hands mostly in .25/.50. it's so frustrating constantly losing 2-5 buyins after winning a couple.. over and over and over.. this is where the rake owns me.

sooo.. last night I decided to move up to .50/1 (again) and hopefully go on a heater or something, I think I'm due for one :D

epic story from 2p2 forums

by fjbourne:

I know most you guys here prob don't follow the NBA but for barewire and the rest, I just had one of the best sports nights of my life.

Me and one of my boys drank a bunch of wine out of a couple diet coke's on the train to the garden (Always sunny, chuch). From there we did the normal ****, double fisting beers, yelling, cheering D E F E N S E, Lebron you suck, etc. We got bored and I suggested we try to get to the Catwalk.

After about 10 minutes of work we made it up to the media section. It was pretty easy to get to this part of the arena (The very top section) since it seems 25% at least is media fans or friends that they give tickets to. From there we searched around for elevators and/or stairs. On our first walk around we bi-passed security first try annd found an open door to an upstairs stair well that looked perfect. We walked up to a locked door. We tried to jimmy with a credit card and rip the lock with a shoelace but it was solid and a waste of time.

We gave up and got 2 more beers each and watched the 3rd quarter next to a few drunk girls. Eventually we got bored and decided we wanted to head back to our season seats. We were drunk and lazy so when Andy saw a security gaurd we asked if we could take the stairs instead of taking the elavator. He said sure and once we got in this one stairwell my boy Andy ran up instead of down.

I followed him up and instantly knew we were set. There was no door at the top of the stairs, just a completely open loft type hallway. I ran down about 40 ft and took my first left and ran out a bit to find us standing damn near over the court. **** was F amazing. Catwalks were going every which way over the court and we could literally go stand above center court if we wanted to and watch the game. We finished our beers and almost the rest of the game watching from there and went home. :D

My Blog!

hey. I decided to make a blog since I figured everyone around me is tired of the tilt vent and bad beat stories i make them sit through every day. Expect to see a lot of those here ;)

That's not all I plan on posting here though.. I should have a bunch of gaming videos, reviews, and random stuff in my life that no one but me is really interested in. lol
