LOL

My break lasted 24 hours. Kinda sad but i was getting tooo bored. I couldnt take it anymore of doing nothing lol. Hopefully I can do something fun this weekend again. But probably highly doubtful. I will probably end up playing live poker.

Day 17: Goal is off

-3000
Till Goal: 22800

I cant take it anymore. This goal is stressing me like no other. It makes me care too much about the result and i am plaiyng when i dont want to get to the goal. So i am going to have to stop. I am probably taking a break from poker as I am pretty stressed with school and other parts of my life. Later

Day 16: Today sucks

-1900
Till Goal: 19800

Today was so bad. I went to immigration court and sat around for 2 hours. I wasnt really needed. Car ride took about total of 2 hours. I slept all day. Played some poker. Lost some hands. Took bad beats. Typical day. I dont think i can even obtain this goal anymore. The games are too tough these days. all my donkeys on the buddy list are playing a lot lower. So annoying. O well. Someone please cheer me up.

Day 15: I need to start going to class ASAP

+1800
Till Goal : 17900

I really need to start going to class. I have been feeling terrible all day. I am just tired for no reason. I dont even know why. My sleeping schedule is so messed up because all these things i have to do during the day this week. As for poker, it was a crazy day. I have never played so many big pots in my life before my first session only to end up +650. The second sesion I didnt play a pot over 700 dollars and I lost 2000+. I also tilted pretty badly at omaha and went and played 10/25 NL against a pretty big fish. I got him though so it was ok. I am still very off pace for this goal. It is half way there and I am 6000 short. I feel like I need to start playing on my desktop more. My laptop for some reason generates so much heat and makes my room unbearable. I probably got sick from humidity.

Day 14: So much work, so little time

+2000
Till Goal: 19700

I am still recovering from my horrible session two days ago. I feel like I played very well today. I didn't get all in with the the worst hand once. Just slowly chipping people away. Once again, I missed all the sunday tourneys because of footbal although it was worth it probably. I was going to make a 500 dolllar bet on the Indianapolis Colts against my home team Washington Redskins but there was no way for me to get money online so I couldnt make that bet. Obv the colts crushed the skins and I would have easily won the bet. I have a 4 page sentence outline for my research paper due tomorrow. I barely know anything about my topic which is legalizing online gambling. I havent written a word. O well. I got a lot of classes tomorrow so I probably won't be playing much poker. I am also about 5000 dollars off pace which is pretty big. I really need to do some catching up. I have logged about 13000 hands total in 14 days. Thats not too many hands but thats about what i expected when i started this goal so i should be fine.

Day 13: Fun Saturday

+0
Till Goal: 21700

I didnt get a chance to play at all. I slept for 13 hours and woke up at 7pm and I went to get new balla's outfits. So I went and got a sweet walter payton's jersey and the new AI's shoes. Then two of my friends and I went to eat at benihanas and it was delicious. At this place you sit with random people at the table as the chef cooks for you right in front of you. As we were leaving, I tried to tip the chef. I accidently took out a bunch of 100s from last night live game. I got a few bad stares from the table. After dinner, we went up to B-more and drank at towson. I drank quite a lot. There was one incident where me and zach laughed and made fun of this fat girl so much that she actually chased us out of the party. Her boyfriend had to hold her back. It was quite funny. I dont know why we were running but we ran pretty far. I am going to try to get some hands logged today. But I am so tired because I didnt sleep very well last night.

Day 12: I hate poker

-4100
Till Goal: 21700

It was probably the worst day i have ever had without tilting. I was just running really really bad. I lost my first buy in fairly quick. People were just playing awful. I was getting reraised a lot and people were catching. Then I had set under set and that was another buy in. Some donkey checked raised me all in with j6.... on 789 two clubs board. I had 45c and I had to call since it was 300 more to 450 pot. When he showed j6, i was just simply amazed. I was down 3500. I chipped back to -2500 then I had TT on K T 2 all diamonds flop. He called about 1000+ with QQ and the queen of diamonds. I was pretty upset when he caught his flush. I played very well and ended up only down 2500 for the session after these. Late night session was so bad. I cant even describe it. I reraised withAQ preflop againt a looose raiser and he called.FLop comes down Qs Js 4s. He smashes pot. Icould have raised here but i dont want to go all in since i dont have the ace of spades and iput him on AJ with one spade AT with one spade. I want to see the safe turn. So i called. Turn was the 5d. One of the safest card, or so I thought. He smashes pot for 500. I call the all in. He has 55 for a set of 5s on the turn... Who the fuck smashes pot at that spot with 55...? A couple of minutes later I floppe da flush against his top two and we got it all in on the flop only to see him filled up. It was so sick. Another sick hand I had was i had 67 in bb with 5 limpers. Flopp comes 5 4 8 rainbow. It goe check around. Turn was a queen. I bet out pot. Someone raises me min. I go all in and he calls me with Q5 and spikes that 5 on the river. It was just sick. There are many other coolers and 2 outers I dont even want to rant about. I am really hating poker right now. I dont even know whether I will play tomorrow or not. I am just brutally pissed off.

Day 11: Better things to do than poker

+1400
Till Goal: 17600

I didnt play much poker today. I woke up and played an hour session and played very well and won a nice amount. Then I hung out with my friend, helped him improve his game and went to eat lunch at popeyes. I also went to eat at delicious cheese cake factory. The appetizer combo was so goood. It also helped it was 30 bucks for appetizer. I also went out and got books to prepare for my fantasy basketball draft. O yea I bought a sweet ass ,Steve Smith, carolina pathers jersey. Its sick. I am probably not going to be able to play a lot of poker tomorrow as well. But i can definitely start logging in a lot more hands next week.

Day 10: Short Day

+1600
Till Goal 19000

I really wish i had more time. I hang out with my best friend who was back from his collge today for fall break so I didnt have anytime to play. I got like 200 hands in and I played very well. I also tried out some pot limit omaha today. It was very fun. I took a vicious 2 outer all in on the turn. But i won my wrap straight draw all in against a flush draw so i am not too upset. Hopefully I will have a lot of time tomorrow but right now i am very tired and about to go to sleep.

Day 9: A lot of studying need to be done

+2400 Till Goal: 20600

I didnt play much today because i have two tests tommorrow that i havent studied for. Not being to the class often doesnt help the case either. I started out today with some heads up 5/10. I started out running horrible. Everytime i had top pair, he had an overpair that he check calls me down with. I lost my tens full of fives to his tens full of aces for 2000 pot. I wasnt running well at the other tables either. I was losing coinflips, ran my kings into aces. I lost 3000 first 30 minutes. Next 45 minutes, it was insane. I was flopping flushes, hitting sets and people were paying me off for 1 buy in. I also had a very tough hand. I dont know if i could have played my hand any differently. When he led the turn, I thought he had a set since he was a solid regular. There was some possibility, he had a flush but I had the nut flush draw so i called. River gives me a set of aces. I called his all in and he had a set of jacks on the flop. I want to go to sleep early, wake up early and study but i am going to have to watch these 2 new episodes of prison break. Hopefully, it wont take too long and i can still wake up early and study

Day 8: I play good early and tilt bad late

+2800
Till Goal: 23200

I really need more days like this. I play so well. I played a little bit in the morning. I was just chasing around bad players and won like 1000. People were pratically handing me money. Here is the hand where this guy tried to resqueeze me and ended up calling all in with QJ against my KK. Thankfully it held. Here is another hand. The original raiser has been raising fairly light preflop so i decided to reraise with my j8 suited. I got a cold call from the worst player at the table out of the sb. I was pretty sure he had a pair like 77-JJ. The flop gives me OESD with the nut straight draw. I check behind him and catch my nuts. If i had bet on the flop, he would have went all in and i would probably be force to fold or call off being behind. Overall, i played very well today until 6 in the morning. Saw a big fish at the table. Chased. He gave me 2 outer for 500 pot. Then i had top two against his bottom set then tilt away a buy in out of anger. I am so angry. O well

Day 6: Can't win

-5400
Till Goal: 23900 dollars

So annoying. People were calling my reraises with Ax and stuff flopping two pair on me. I lost about 2 coinflips for 2 buy in. Tough situations for like 2 buy ins. 1 buy in to tilt. I got hit and run on at heads up for like 1400. I lost 400 playing limit poker out of anger. Overall annoying day. Had KK and QQ like a million times at heads up. Only to get an ace flop one me and the guy calling me down. Very very annoying. This is probably my biggest losing day ever. I am not too upset as i was expecing this kind of day

Day 5: Nothing going on in life

+2000
Till Goal: 18500 dollars

I ended up getting no sleep yesterday because i got hooked on the tv show prison break. It is one of the most exciting and interesting tv show i have ever seen. I spent like 4 hours watching all the episodes. I ended up going to school without any sleep and crashed right after. I woke up after 4 hours and decided to have a quick session. It is funny how bad people can be. Here is one of the example. He basically put me on a busted flush draw and call off his stack. I went back to sleep soon after. I didnt have many options to do friday night again. I had an option of playing live poker or staying home, watch tv, lay on my bed and play online. I decided to stay home, watched tv and played a little bit of poker. I only got in like 500 hands today because I was not in poker mood. I will definitely be playing more tomorrow and i think i am just going to directly buy in and play sunday tourneys. I think i have enough of a bankroll to support it.

Day 4: Rough Day

-1100
Till Goal: 20500 dollars

This is my first losing day in 2 weeks now. I have been expecting this in a while. I started out the day horrible. I was playing 2/4 and 3/6 because I had to study for an exam. I took a few bad beats and tilted for a little bit. I lost about 1600 or so right off the bat. I played calm afterwards. I decided to put in a quick session before i go and take the exam. I was playing heads up 5/10 and I ran set over set for 500 dollars. Then I ran into this. It is very annoying because thats the only way i would lose my stack. The running aces. I tilted a little bit but came back after giving a bad beat against a big fish. I would have been down 4000 if it wasnt for that and would have trouble going to school and taking an exam. I played a little bit more after my class. i ran very well and was actually up for the day. Then I had another session whenever i reraised with AK flop would come low low low and they would always go all in on the flop and everytime I had QQ, the flop would include a king and i would get raise huge. It was overall very annoying session. I couldnt get anything going. I was being raised everytime and running into monsters. I lost about close to 2 buy ins at 5/10. I ended up being down 1100 for theday which is nothing at these stakes. I felt like other than my tilt session in the afternoon, i played very well. Hopefully, i can keep playing well and not worry about the result.

Day 3: Swings

+900
Till Goal: 19400 dollars

Finally, a day I didnt win at a sick pace. I probably needed that because I don't want to have a day where i lose 8 buy ins. I had an intersting hand today against a CR member, Lou. I had KK. I raised from UTG and i got called from him in the bb. At this point, I put him on a small pp, AQ, KQ. Flop came down Q J 2. He check raised me pot. I called. Turn was a 9. He fired out pot again. I dont think he has QQ or JJ because he would have def. reraised preflop. So it comes down to AQ, KQ or 22. I shove all in. He called. He had QJ soooted for top two. I guess I wasnt really in that bad of a shape but I wasnt even expecting to see QJ there. I guess suited makes it worth seeing a flop. I also had another intersting hand where I reraised with KK to a cutoff raise and the sb cold called. The flop comes Q 7 5 all clubs. I have the King o clubs. He check calls me on the flop. Turn was a 2 of diamonds. I am pretty sure i have to bet pot and put him all in at this point. I put him all in. He shows me AT clubs for nut flush. I am dd. He leaves the table right away which almost tilted me. I played well the rest of the night. Took some tough breaks towards the end so I played more to get it back. Ended up 900 for day. Phew I am going to have to study somewhat tommorow since I have an exam. I will still log some hands in for sure. Now i have to decide whether I want to go to Vegas early november. I am stil underage and I dont have an ID. I dont really want to go to vegas to play poker. I want to party and do crazy things so I probably need a good ID. Maybe i will still go.

Day 2 : Ultimate Stalker

+2700 Dollars
Till Goal: 20300 dollars

I was messing around in the afternoon playing a couple of tables, not really in the mood. I see this guy tilting at my table really bad so i added him to my buddy list. A couple of minutes later, he left the table and went and sat at 10/25. I had one hand worth of experience above 5/10 and it was KK vs AA all in at 10/20. I decided to sit with him anyway. Two hands in. This happened.
I find it pretty hilarious. Two minutes later, he popped up at 5/10 with 409 dollars. It took me 5 hands to take that. I didnt play much in the afternooon. I just watched some 10/25 and seeing how the game is play there. I won a good amount at hte night session also. I started out first 50 hand down about a buy in at 5/10. I slowly grind it back and hit a set of tens against QQ in a reraised pot. I ended up 1400 in the day session and the 1300 at the night session. My run is kinda getting sick now. Last two days, I played a combine 1600 hands and I am up 4700 dollars. Thats about 14.5 bb/100. I am probably going to run cold soon. I hope I at least reach the goal before i run semi cold. I am definitely going to be playing more. The 800 hands per day is not cutting it.

Day 1 : Rah Roh

+2000 dollars
Till Goal: 23000 dollars
It looks like variance monster just might get me.I did not play well today. I got stacked off early with AA after raising from the blinds and flop coming down K 6 4 rainbow . He called my bet on the flop. In my mind, i was for sure he had a set since he limped call. I still paid him off for 1000. After that I played well until I see mr. bettlebug. I have seen him play plenty . All he does is raise 90% of the time preflop and fire out pot no matter what is on the board. O yea to make it worse, he calls all ur reraises too. He frustrated me a lot and an ace keeps hitting on my big pairs and he keeps check riasing me all in. Then he left afte rtaking about 900 from me without a showdown. I am furious at this point. This one 2800 pot i played, I had KJ spades flop comes 997 two spades. I bet out 75. He doubles me. I call. Turn was a jack. He bets out pot of like 330. For some retarded reason, I went all in and he quickly called with 96 for trips and i likely sucked out with my flush. Then I had AK hearts against shortstack AA and sucked out. I really hate sucking out. Sigh, hopefully i can play better poker tomorrow.

Challenge 25k in 30 days

Bring it on! I am going to play enough poker this month so that I can pull in 25000 in one month. Its certainly obtainable since I basically did it this month. I just need to keep playing 3/6 and 5/10 without tilting and it shouldnt be a problem.

60 day report

Alright so this has been my last 60 days period. It was started the week after the hotel party. I started out losing 1k on the first day so it wasnt a fun start but then the next 4 days, i ran hot for 7500+ at 3/6 NL on FT. Then one night after staking someone at live game, we both got stacked for about 800. I came home and loaded some tables and lost about 1500 more. Then in the morning i played again and I lost 1200 more. I cashed out of FTP and party and rebought into UB. I ran my Ub account up to about 4500. I lost about 1k staking and taking a shot with a friend together at 5/10. I went to cornell one weekend and lost 1600. I left UB and went to paradise poker. I won all my money back the first day and lost it all back + 1000 more the next day. I flew out to st.louis to get away from poker. Ended up playing poker there and won 2500 back. I came back home. Goes on life tilt and loses 4000 in a day at FTP 3/6. I loaded up party the next day. Played 3000 hands. Was up 2500 at one point. Only to lose it 1800 back the last 100 hands. I went on zach's account on pstars and lost more. I was almost maniacal cuz I was taking so many bad beats. I ended the first 30 day. Up 600 dollars. I tried 9 tabling the following day and ended up playing 5000 hands for the day. Only to end up losing 1000 for the day. I cashed out of stars and came to UB. With the stalkerbuddy, I chased down bad players and won about 6000 back + some in a week. I got myself a plasma TV. One morning i was at the craziest table ever and loses about 2000 back. Cashed out of UB and went to paradise. Went on a heater there but didnt like the site too much so i cashed out and went to FTP with some rakeback. Since I cant win on FTP, I was forced to cash out after the first day. I went back to UB with 1200 5 day ago. Since then I have been crushing UB 5/10 and 3/6 and up about 12g. I am up a total of 26000 dollars after 60 days of hardwork and about 45000 hands hands.

Mr. Ermer

Good job johnny for fucking winning 43000 dollars in 24 hours of live poker.. lol. Thats just unhuman. You have to win like like 300 dollar per hand to do that. You always want to win a lottery thats probably it. I better get my lottery soon!!

So hottt! and LOL Yankees

Jesus, i hope its not a bad thing. I am not sucking out on people but people are consistently putting the money in drawing dead. I am up like 4500 since my last entry on like minimum playing time. Hopefully I can just ride the rush till poker is officially in trouble. I am so popular these days. I have approximately 1 friend who is not busy all the time and live within 20 minutes. Weekends are just spectacular. I sit here do nothing and sleep. I did get new bed sheets, sweet pillows and a new blanket though. So right now, even if i have somethning to do, I dont think I want to move from my bed. and o yea the yankees got elimated by the tigers today. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Arod went 1 for 14 in the series with no RBI! Biggest choke artist ever? I think so

Running Well

Finally I am running well. I still cant believe US government is trying to ban poker. I can understand other type of gambling since there is a law that you can't make bets through telephones but poker is such a game of skills. There are some luck involves but life is a gamble. Every game has its own luck. A basketball player can get lucky and make a shot from half court. A baseball player have to get lucky by guessing the pitch. The fact of the matter is overtime, the more skill players will get to the top. i don't even know what i am going to do if online poker was totally banned. I can play 40 hands p/hour of live poker. Thats about 6 times less than when I play 2 tables online. And dont even tell me about a regular job. All the college kids i know are worried about even spending 10 bucks. Yea so I am running pretty well. Since party poker is expected to shut down and pokerstars is to follow, a lot of the players are moving to UB and FTP. Although I hate FTP, i got rakeback on it so it would be +EV for me to play there. I am up about 4500 on UB last 2 times i played there and I am down 1400 on FTP. Here is my graph for the last 56 days. Since poker is dying, I really should try to play more. This graph is probably like 38000 hands so i am averaging like 700 hands per day but i have been averaging over 1000 hands per day last 2 weeks. I am sicken by people who can play 3000 hands per day. Only if I can do that...
