haven’t blogged a thing for the past few days, and i don’t have much to blog about today, but i figure i have to put up something. so, here it is . . .
with the passing of the memorial day weekend, summer has arrived! the flowers are off the trees out back, and the leaves [...]
upcoming event
this is going off on Saturday afternoon, and that’s not a typo. it’s 3pm, and the buy-in is $25,000. i was going to write a gag post about selling my car and entering into it, but the chuckle wouldn’t have been worth the journey.
i do however, have half an eye on it because, well, [...]
this time i’m going to start off with the poker. non-poker players, please scan to the section that interests you most.
POKER:

i don’t have the hand history because i didn’t have my hand grabber turned on. my bad. but basically it comes around to this . . .
I catch TT [...]

a lot of a little going on, so let’s get down to it. first off, non-poker (poker guys, just scroll down ’til you see the word POKER in bold).
new land jam - the event is being scheduled right now, and it will be at the “new land”. expect it to be a saturday afternoon/evening in [...]
well, i’ve stopped the freefall. i actually dipped a bit further after the last post, and have won that back, so i sit at a solid -14.5 BI for the month. but, this time there’s an upward-ish momentum to it all.
tonight’s session i ended down just shy of a half BI, which doesn’t bother me. [...]
i’m going to start to see monstors soon.
big loss of the day (well, so far), i raise pocket 4’s UTG, MP overcalls with 65o. i land a set on the flop, he lands a straight.
the next two hands are basically me hitting top pair, cBetting, Villan not believing it and calling with overcards or middle [...]
here it is in a nutshell - i’m going to whine. if you’d like to skip it, please do. the following is for my own amusement.
somehow, i’ve managed to pull a 10 buy-in downswing out of my ass. and this one seems to be much like every other one i’ve seen commented on. some bad [...]
this will be the first sunrise i see from the perspective of a person who already slept in so long that i have to catalog it for future reference.
i think i tore a calf muscle yesterday. i was breaking away (during hockey), and it felt like someone two-fisted me from behind. i pulled up lame, [...]
i got some hands in last night. one of them struck me.
i’m sitting On The Button with a pair of 3’s. UTG limps, it folds around to me, and i smash the “bet pot” button. the small blind wakes up and 3 bets me.
i check his stats, and his PFR is 3%. he has a [...]
