Yuck

Played a session last night and squeezed out a small 61$ profit, all after flopping the nut straight, beating someone with flush over flush, and getting paid on quads. Needless to say I ran pretty poorly.

I decided to go back down tonight since the rest of my week is pretty busy with school and work. Early on I complete my SB with 10 2 offsuit and we go 7 handed to the flop. 10 3 2 with 2 spades. I lead for 14 folds to the CO who raises 25 on top. I make it 114$ and he shoves. I call my last 65 I have behind and he flopped a set of 3's. I don't hit a 10. Then I ran super poor and lost AK to Q3 KQ to 109 and so on and so forth. Needless to say it was a bad night. down 388 and def made some very marginal probably tilt induced calls.

I was due for a losing session I suppose.

I'll be back down there Sunday night.

So damn tired.

I feel so exhausted lately. Between working my two jobs, school, and poker I'm getting pretty run down. Thursday one of my friends turned 21 so we went out and partied hard all night. Friday I was an hour late to work, out in 4 and a half hours and couldn't even find the motivation to drive to the casino. I really think I need to ;et my waitering job go. Then my weekends would be freed up for maximum poker.

School seems like it's going to be pretty cool. I'm taking 3 finance classes and one econ class. The classes don't seem like they will be hard or time consuming but I think that I am goin to learn alot this semester.

And it looks like I'm still going to be stuck at home for the time being. The guys I was planning on moving in with, one decided that 3 people would be too many. The other one still wants me to move in so he's trying to coax the other guy in slowly to letting me move in. It doesn't really matter much to me either way. If I don't move in i save money I would have spent each month while being in school that I should have saved to pay student loans and such. So unballer.

I'm really feeling the need to travel. My girlfriend lived in Florida for a year and worked for Disney. They allow someone to stay a seasonal worker which means she has to work a total of 2 shifts each year. I'm hoping to go down there soon so she can work and I can get out of CT for a little while. I really like it down there and downtown Orlando is an AWESOME time. Also Florida just legalized no limit poker so while shes at work during the day I can take the rental to Tampa and hit up Hard Rock for some action.

Aside from traveling there I've been thinking about heading down to Atlantic City for a weekend. The games down there are great. I've been once and it was so much softer then Foxwoods games, however I may have just been lucky with a good table.

I keep slacking with the updates but I'm going to try and focus and put one up every day or so. It's just been tough with the busy schedule.

On that note I think I'll go to bed. I'm going to try and get a quick 9 holes in before work tomorrow morning then it's off to the casino all night.

Back on the boat.

I finally played an online session!!!!! It feels like it's been forever since I played last. It actually has been a long time. With the exception of one quick coaching session I did for a friend I haven't played online poker since July 26th. I played about 135 hands and made 150$

Live poker has been going well still also. I went 6 times in 9 days. In those days I am up 670$. Ship Ship.

I hopefully will be moving out of my house soon. My probably roommates are discussing it tonight and hopefully they agree that they want me to move in.

New news

So in the past few weeks I've had a lot change in my life. The biggest change is that I am no longer single.

My now girlfriend and I have been dating for about 5 years now. However we were never actually committed because I hate commitment. It's always been something I told myself I didn't want to have after being hurt by a few women.

So she went along with it for almost 5 years of us just being whatever we were without the commitment. Finally she decided that enough was enough, either we were boyfriend and girlfriend or nothing. I decided I wanted her in my life and she really is my best friend. So I gave in and am going to give the relationship life a go.

Here's a picture of me and her at Planet Hollywood in Orlando


I still haven't played online at all. Live poker is consuming me. I've been going to Foxwoods about 3-4 times a week. So my live roll is going up. However I've still been transfering cash online to some friends so the online roll is down a little.

Quick post

I wanted to get a lot done in these next few posts but I'm out of work early so I'm going to head back down to Foxwoods.

But one of the things I wanted to talk about was my first balla purchase. It's only semi balla but I still love it. I've always wanted a Movado watch and finally said to hell with it I'm going to get one. It was extra nice and easy on the wallet because I used my frequent player points from Foxwoods for most of it. Total cost $740.

Where have I been?

It's been wayyyyy too long since my last update. I've been super busy. I now am working 2 jobs on top of playing poker. My second job I am helping out with an online Ebay store called cashforgolfclubs.com. I am helping out with cleaning, packaging, and shipping the clubs out. It's a fun job and the owner is real cool. So between doing that in the early morning, then work at the restaurant at night and poker at Foxwoods a few days a week, I haven't had much time to update here.

Poker has been pretty slow. I've hit kind of a live lull, and am only up about 100$ in my last 4 sessions. My 3rd and 4th to last trips I met up with few 2+2ers. The first night I met up with kid named Greg from Providence, he is diamond lie on 2+2. He is a nice guy and we had fun chatting it up at the table and playing some hands out. A funny thing that happened was whenever a person get all in preflop I always wish that person with no chips left good luck. well the kid to Greg's right happened to get all in against Greg 4 times, and each time I wished him good luck, and each time he won. Greg seemed a little frustrated at me for a while =).

I have hardly played online at all this month. I think I've played about 90 hands total and am down about 25 bucks in that from a horribly played hand for 50bb's. I will be playing a lot more in the near future. It's just impossible for me to play at home with a bad internet connection. I've timed out way too many times.

I will be back in school again Sept 4th. The restaurant will be slow and I will only be working weekends there. This will give me a lot of extra time to play cards. And working the golf job in the morning will give me some extra income as well.

I'm going to make some more posts tomorrow and Friday instead of just making one long one. I'll talk about the 2+2 Foxwoods trip, baller purchases, interesting news in my life, and maybe a few pictures over the next 2 days.

Not much poker lately

Aside from playing live I haven't been playing much recently. I've been doing a decent amount of partying and going to concerts. Yesterday was the first day of Dave Matthews in Hartford so I was up there partying all day. We didn't have tickets and the scalpers wanted 150 per ticket so we didn't end up going into the show. We just partied in the parking lot all day and during the show as well. Today is the second show, which I do have a ticket for.

My online roll is down a little bit more because I've been bankrolling one of my friends every time he wants to play. But this is good for my live roll.
