So sick

So i woke up tuesday at around 6am and party was down. So i decide to play on stars. Ran into a few coolers and bam i am down 1000. But i kept on playing and played well and actaally went up 100 dollars. Since i love the pstars software a lot more than party, i gave another shot at pstars in the afternoon. O that wasnt fun. I was steaming bad after running my straight against a higher straigh. Then bad things just keep happening. I would raise with AQ and board with come k 6 7 all off and people would check raise me double and show me T3. It was awful. I was down 1600 and steamin. Then i gave a bad beat to AA with JJ on k 7 3 board. I check raised him all in and spiked the jack on the river. I was pretty happy and well on my way to recovery. Then of course i lose 1200 dollar pot on j 8 2 flop with 88. He had a sweet little hand of JJ for a higher set. I was down 1600 again and forced to quit. I stayed up all night playing video games and watching a couple of my friends play poker. Then in the afternoon, we went to eat at delicious hinode's buffet. I passed out soon after and played a little bit at night for a 400 winning session. But thursday was by far the most annoying day. I decided to four table party poker. After suffering numerous bad beats, i tilted off like 800. Then i reraised one pot with KK preflop flop came AKJ all hearts. We got it all in on the turn. He has QT of hearts for the royal flush. But the funny thing about that hand is if i had hit my king, i would have won the party poker jackpot and won a cool 100g probably. I stopped playing for an hour after that and won 600 back later to be only down 1000 for the day. After doing other stuff with my friends, i was back at poker again. It was quite a start. I kinda donked off 300 to a donkey then i flopped a set of 5s on 5 2 3 flop and he went flat all for 300 into 50 pot. I instant called him. He had AA. ace on the river. GG me. I was down 2000. I grinded back for over 3 hours and played very well. At the end of the night, i was up 250. This has to be the sickest swing i have been through. Hopefully, it wont happen again because it might just drive me crazy. O well, i am only down 1000 since my meltdown on tuesday. Not so bad after all.

Staking and stress

I have been playing so well lately. I am up like 5000 dollars playing poker last 2 weeks. But i am probably done with staking friends. I am up 500 dollars on my stake. But at one point, i was up over 3000. Its too stressful because I have no control over the money and i feel too stressed. But i really need to control this spendin habit. I probably spent 200 on food this week. I also spent like 300 on video games that i probably don't need. O well, at least i can sorta afford it. I am also going back to my regular sleeping schedule so from now on I am goign to be playing a lot of poker during the day time.

Strange Day

I was just planning to take a break from cash games and try to play a couple of big tournaments today but the plan failed when bad news bear showed up. Then Sirkus showed up. Now i definitely can't play the tournaments anymore. I thought maybe i play some cash games. I went out to eat delicious thai food and when i came back, i was surprise to see jtc and JEW over. JTC was playing omaha on my account because i stake him. I didnt even have a place to sit at my own house. i just paced around at my own house for 4 hours watching JTC and BNB played poker. After 4 hours of upswings and downswings, JTC ended up up 2500. Thats nice since i get 50% and make me have over 10,000 dollars in one account for the first time. Then I watched a sweet episode of entourage and decided to crack 4 tables of 3/6 NL. I won 600 dollars in 500 hands. People are a lot tighters at 3/6 NL but there are still plenty of donkeys. I raised preflop with T8 suited
i get 4 callers. Flop comes KTT and the person who slowplayed AA managed to lose 600 to me.It was pretty nice. Well, Julian is back in town tomorrow so expect to be a lot of poker playing next few weeks. Hopefully i can break the 50g barrier in a month. 17 more to go.

Woot Woot Woot

Yesterday morning was a rough day for me. I was up at 3am trying to play poker. I admit i was playing bad to begin the session but i figured I can improve that. Then ross the bad news bear came over. He has recently lost his job and doesnt want to tell his parents so he stayed at my house till his work was supposed to be over. He was playing poker next to me. I was playing very well and recovered my losses from earlier. Then I ran my KK into AA. I just cant beat this guy for some reason. I have recently lost 800 pot to him earlier. I lost of course. Then next 30 minutes, i reraised with my big overpairs and an overcard spike on the flop everytime and i was forced to fold. I am down 600 dollars. Then i got really mad at mr bad news bear because he told me not to whine. He was dishing out 2 outers left and right at his tables and he was happy and i was getting killed and he told me not to whine. I was furious. Then the law of probability caught up to him and he shuts up for good. I ended up being down 1000 at 7am and decided to stop and went to sleep. I woke up at 4 and started playing around 5 at party poker. I won about 700 dollars in 1 hour. Not so bad then i chilled with zach till 9 and started playing again at 11. I played for one hour and won 300 more. I am back to even. But I couldnt sleep. So i played more and won 1000 more. Pretty fun to not only recover the losses but get 1000 more dollars. Julian decided to drop 400 for paradise 20/40 games today and he took one of the sickest beat ever. Julian had KK preflopped was capped between 3 people and flop came 9 2 5 and it was yet again capped. Turn was an ace and there were a lot of action. The river was the queen and the pot was around 1000+ dollars. One flipped over Q9 for a pair of 9s and the other flipped over QQ for a set of queens. He rivered the last queen to scoop the large pot. How scaryis that. The last queen. a one outer.Yikes! thats probably why i hate limit poker so much. Its basically played the same way as NL because a lot of the streets are capped so often at the higher limits. I also jumped into my first 3/6 NL games today. They are pretty soft. I did very well in them. Hopefully, i can start playing them more often since i feel like i am ready to move up.

Another boring day

I woke up at 1, took a shower, ate lunch and played like 200 hands. There was one hand which confused me so muc. It was 3 handed. I raised on the button with QT. The bb called me. Tuhe flop came QT 2 all clubs. He bets out about 16 dollar. I want to see where i am at and protect my hand and raised it to 40. He called. Turn Q. Which gave me the nuts. He checked and i bet 80 into about 100 pot. He called. I have no clue what he has at this point.Does he have a queen with a high club? I thought he might have had that. Maybe he is just a big fish chasing that ace of clubs. River was a useless 3. He checked to me again. I fire 200 bet on the river and he thought for about 10 secs and called . He flopped the nut flush.... how did i not get his stack in there? how can u play the nut flush that cautious 3 handed ? O well. i was up 400 on the session which led me to going to the video game store to get my sister a gamecube. I spent a nice 200 bucks on gamecube system and games. Then I just goofed around, watched the hr derby which btw pissed me off because "big papi" david ortiz didnt win. I won about another 200 playing silly games. Not so bad. I dont know why but for some reason i decided to drink a can of amp energy drink. Thats probably why I am awake at 730 in the morning. I should probably get sleep. Maybe i will play some more tomorrow. I think I am going to start trying to start qualifying for UB aruba event. you only have to be 18 to enter in the tounament. I might as well give it a shot.

Playing like crap and winning

Today has been awful. I have been playing so bad yet i am up. I went down 400 to start the day and won it all back on a set of aces vs a set of tens. Then shoved with straight draw flush draw vs a set and sucked out and won. Then i ran my second nuts to someone nuts. I was back down. I tilt after someone caught their running two pair on me. Paid someone off with the set with the most obvious flush ever. Then i found this guy who raised every pot. I reraised him about 5 times and he called the reraise eveytiem and folded on the flop and I was back to even for the day. Then the same guy raised from UTG to 16 and i had QQ from the bb and reraised him to 50 dollars. He went all in for 400 dollars. I realized he is sick of all my reraises and finally making a stand so I called. He had 56 suited and lost to me. It was brilliant. Up a nice 550 for the day. Not so bad for a day of tilt and bad plays.

Variance is a bitch

Well finally all my short big winning sessions caught up to me yesterday. I went to bed at 6am and got waken up at 10am by bad news bear, ross. I lost 300 at omaha in the morning and went to see pirates of the carribeans. Then I came back and I was dead tired. I couldnt tell the difference between 96 off and 99. I went to take a long nap afterwards. Then i started playing at night and lost 1000 in about 2 hours. People hit their 2 outers for their higher set against me and called bets with gut shots and catch against my top set. I wasnt too mad but I started to realize I cant play on party for too long of a period because their interface sucks. So i cashed out my 6150 dollars my party account to my bank. It was a nice 3900 dollars from party poker. I wanted to sleep my losses off but I couldnt so I decided to play poker again at 4am. First hour was awful. I lost 800. I was check raised every time and I did not have anything and i ran my KK into a set and I was stuck a lot. Then I had AK on KQ 2 7 4 flop and lost to QQ for about 200 dollars. I was abotu to quit and then he started complaining about how I played my hand bad because I didnt lose more. After that, I realized I was playing good poker. I went on to play 1100+ hands till 730. Some guy bluffed me all his chips on 883 board with AQ when i had AA and some guy tried to represent the flush when I had a set and I made a good read and call him down and I was back up a little bit. After the night was over, I had played over 1500 hands and I was down 1200 and it was 8 in the morning. I went to bed right after that. I have played about 800 hands today and won about 1200 dollars. Not so bad but I really hate variance. I played about 2400 hands and won 0 dollars. What a waste of time. hopefully, i can have another nice winning streak tomorrow.

I love me

Yesterday I woke up around 1. I wasnt really in the mood to play poker. I watched Marcello thugged 3/6 NL and won a quick1400. I was very inspired by his actions and decided to play. In about 30 minutes, i had won 850 dollars. I decided to like always of course. Then ross, the bad news bear, called me and wanted to hang out. People just keep coming over to my house and they stayed until 11. I couldnt play poker when they were there so i just helped zach play and he won a cool 500 bucks at my house. Then i decided to play more poker after they left. I played for about 40 minutes this time and won about 600 dollars. After that, I just goofed around and played fun games such as stud and omaha. I havent had a day like this in weeks. 1450 in 250 hands of poker is very good. I just hope that variance dont come and bite me again. It probably will. O well. Anyway, these bills are killing me. Cable is about 150+, cellphone bill is about 150 as well, car is about 350 dollars. I dont mind paying them for the family but thats a lot of money. Anyway, i hope can go to sleep now and play a long big winning session tomorrow.

Too nice...

I really hate being a nice guy. I have always been a nice guy my whole life. I have always helped people who are in need. But sometimes I feel like I am being used. I would buy them food if they didnt have money. I would loan them money. Help them when they are passed out drunk. I dont really expect anything back from them. But what really have been bothering me the last few weeks is that one of my better friends owes me about 4600 dollars. After he lost his bankroll, he approached me. Like always I helped him out and gave him my account. One day, i looked in the account and the account was empty. He reasoned bad beats and bad luck to his losses. That didnt bother me because it happens. But what really bothers me is he is not putting any conscious effort to give me back the money i gave it to him. He neither have money or a job. He would rather have fun and hang out with friends than trying to pay a friend back. If i were in his position, I would be working my ass off instead of goofing around. Right now, i really dont know what he is planning to do with the debt. He wants to play poker and makes the money back but he has no money to play poker and there is no way i can afford to loan anymore money. I have no idea how to handle with this situation. I dont really care about being paid back right away. I just want him to put in some effort of making the money back. But I really feel that i am being taken advantage off and I am not too happy about that

Lack of Concentration and spendings

I don't know what to say but lately I have been lacking concentration to play poker. I used to wake up at 9 in the morning to play and would play 2-3 hours session everytime I play. Lately, I just can't play more than 30 minutes. I would get very bored. Espeically if i am breaking even or winning. It seems like the only time I can play long sessions are when I am losing. I really need to fix it. I need to play longer when i am crushing the table and i need to know when to quit when i am getting crushed. I think that will help me become a better player and it will help me make more profits. Today I was going through some of my spendings. I really need to cut down on my spendings.
Laptop-1900, cellphone - 500, Desktop -1500, IPod- 500, Gym- 350, PS2 -500, Bills- 800,
Gifts- 300, Food - 750, Alcohol - 150, Clothes - 500 Total- 7,750 dollars in 5 months. . Half of those things, i probably dont need. It isnt too bad though since I am still averaging 5,000 per month.

Hate it or Love it

I havent update it for a while. I have been up and down so much the last few weeks. I went up about 5000 in 2 weeks, only to lose it back in 1 week. Funny part is it wasnt only me that went down that week from the untouchables. Cello lost 3000 that week. Julian lost 2000 and Zach lost 2000. I wasnt too mad I lost 5000 because I staked one of my friend to play poker and he won 4000 dollars so he gave me 50% which is 2000 dollars. Not too bad. Another problem was I also loaned another friend 4300 dollars and he lost it. I dont know how he is planning to pay it off but it will probably be a while. I also spent a lot of money. I bought a laptop, PDA, go out to decent dinner4 times a week, and alcohol. My bankroll went from 20,000 to 10,000 just like that. I was pretty depressed. I gave poker a break for a few days. Then last week, I came back and decided to come to party poker. I dont know why I juts dont stick to party. I have lost so much money at Ultimate Bet. I am up 2500 dollars in 5 days at party poker. I have also been going to live games and crushing them. The only problem I have with live games are, it is so hard for me to get action with my big hands. People think I am very tight. It is funny because one session I didnt get a single playable hand and people just assumed and I dont show down too many losers because people dont call me down that much. I have learned to use my image against them and it is pretty fun. People would fold and show top pair to a single bet. Not so bad. So i am about 1000 to go from that 5000 loss I had a few weeks ago. I will probably get it back in a few days. I just hope my friend pays his debt off so I can stop worrying. Some people are just not meant to play poker. Especially if you are impulsive about making your decisions.
