returning
Looking forward to playing again tomorrow when acct reopens at 5:30. Although i did play some over the past week, it was not nearly as much as ususal so it was a semi-break. Whatever I won playing under friends name I went ahead and lost, couldn't transfer to blocked account. I'm also setting my profile to private again, may change it back to public at a later time. Check out my friends blog, much better player who wins ALOT more than anyone I know or have ever met. He's on here, under hedz-up, if interested. Probably wont be talking to him anytime soon, after making a couple inappropriate comments he decided to put me on his ignore list. I forget he is in love with someone other than me, and prbly a virgin. He plays poker all of his waking hours, and part of the reason i play is because thats is what hes doing and where he's at. But I met someone who might be able to handle my commets, who runs Hot- just starting to play real money a couple weeks ago, played fake tables first, shows Ace 2 star on topshark and 65 ability on scope, cool guy plays under OMG_P_Rick check him out. Likes to grind micro-limit SNGs. Good luck to him! hopefully patrick will cut the bullshit and chill out and stop ignoring me. I need him.
Playing 11 Tables at same time!

Played 8 hours,
Lost $100.00
at Rama
$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em
dealt 88 in BB. 2 limpers, Hijack raises to 15, folded to me, call, 1 limper calls. Flop: 874 rainbow, checked around. Turn: 7 making 2 diamonds, I bet 15, get called by HJ. River: K non-diamond. I bet 30, he folds.
910o UTG. I haven't played a hand in a while, and I'm a little frisky, so I raise to 12. Button calls, SB reraises ai for 22 more and we both call. Flop: 1085 rainbow. I bet 35 into the dry side pot, and button thinks for a bit before calling. River is blank, we both check. button shows A8, and I scoop his 35 in the side pot to show a 13 profit, sb shows queens and takes the main pot.
A spades 7 diamonds in SB. 6 limpers, I complete, BB checks. Flop: AK7 2 spades.I check because I'm the first to act of 6, hoping I can check raise someone. If I'm closer to last to act, I probably bet this to protect against the flush draw. It's checked around. Turn is blank, but puts 2 hearts on board. I bet 15, and get calls by 1 player. River: 7 clubs. I bet 30, and get called, but he mucks when I show my boat.
UTG w/ KJo. I'm feeling frisky again, so I raise to 7. get 6 callers, flop: 744 w/ 2 diamonds. I cbet 20, and get 2 caller. turn: black K. I bet 35, get called again. River: 8o, I check expecting him to bet a busted flush draw so I can raise him out of the pot, but he checks it too and shows A4o for trips and the pot.
44 in LP, 3 limpers to me, I limp too, 7 players see the flop. Flop: K107 2 spades, checked around. Turn: 4 of spades. I bet 20, only CO calls. River: 2o. I bet 40, CO folds after thinking about it for a little bit. He claims he had pocket 2s, and mucked the set. Everyone is guessing at what I had, noone is anywhere close to correct.
Q10clubs in SB, limped around to me, I complete, BB checks, 8 players. Flop: 729 2 clubs. I check, its checked to MP who bets 15, button and I call. turn: 9 clubs making my flush. I bet 30, MP raises ai to 110. I tank for a bit, and think why he'd bet so much there. He's shown big bluffs before, so I know he;s capable of bluffing off his whole stack, and I decide to make a Hero call. neither of us show, and river is another club(6 I think). I'm not happy with a 4th club, and I think I mutter a curse under my breath. He's being a dick about showing his cards, so I table my Q high flush, and he looks all pissed and mucks. I don't think he had a J high flush, so he's either pissed I took so long to call(which a couple people on my end of table said I shouldn't have taken so long), or he's pissed he tried to bluff at a flush so soon after showing a winning bluff. Either way I double up to $300, and he leaves the table all pissy.
AJs in SB. MP raises to 7, I re-raise to 26( I only wanted to make it 21, but a fifth red chip got stuck to the fourth. MP calls. Flop: 1092 rainbow. I check, MP bets 25, I re-raise to 110, hoping to buy the pot and represent aces. He thinks for a bit before folding.I don't show, but say phew under my breath, and let everyone know i didn't mean to make it 26.
After the first 5 hours(when all these hands take place) I'm up almost 200, but I start going card dead, I raise preflop with decent-good holdings, and have to fold when unimproved, or reraised. I get moved when my table breaks, and I have a guy on my right thats taking up 2 spots, and has ~1500 in front of him, and Isabella on my left, who has about the same as me, but likes to overbet preflop so that I can't take any flops unless I have the goods. I start to bleed chips, to the point where I'm down to a little over my 100 buy-in. At about 11, the table breaks, and while I'd like to go home, I decided to goto another table, hoping for new people to bluff out of some pots, and maybe get some cards. Big stack doesn't come to my table, so I feel pretty good about the move when this hand comes up.
AKs on Button. 3 limpers to me, and I raise to 7(I meant to make it 12). Get 2 callers. Flop: KJ2 all diamonds. Checked to me, I cbet 15. MP calls, CO folds. Turn: 6o, I bet 45, MP calls. River 10o. I only have 35 left here, and I decided before I saw that 10 that I was gonna 3 barrel the river no matter what(unless another diamond hit). MP takes my thunder and announces 50. I tell him I only have 35 and call. I tell him immediately your flush is good, and I wait to muck my hand for him to show it. He announces flush, and tables 64 diamonds.
I can't help but think if I'd made it 12 rather than 7, he would have folded, and I would have a slight profit to the night, rather than being down $100. Plus I think my turn bet was a litle weak..I have to push my last $80 or check there, and in hindsight a check would've been prudent. But he played it very dangerously just calling with a baby flush. What if I had AK with the ace of diamonds, if a diamond hit, he'd be sol.
So that was my night. 8 hours of pretty good play, capped off with 1 badly played hand that took me from an night where I broke even to being down 100. I really didn't like that second table I was at, especially my position. I couldn't make any moves, and my chip stack suffered.

 Pocket Aces are awesome. Really tight game with Nick G., Jimmy, Big Jim, Lee, and Daniel. My second hand I raise to $15 from UTG+2 and everyone folds. At the 1/2 I just left, Enrique is doing $20 every other hand. WTF. I flop a set of eights and call the flop then bet the turn and river. The game is so tight I could not even check raise with it.
I get AsAc in the hijack. Daniel opens for $25 so I know he probably has a big pair. I make it $60 thinking he might re-raise. It folds to him and he just calls. Flop is Jh9h4c. He checks and I bet $90. He thinks and then bets my last $250. I am screaming on the inside as this is the third time today with AA. But, I really think he has an over pair here so I call. I show him right away and he looks pissed. The turn is another J and now I am really screaming on the inside having visions of AJ. The river is a blank and he throws his hand in the muck and a Queen flashes. Must have been QQ. That super pot finally got me up. Have I told everyone how much I love pocket Aces?

Pocket Aces went down in flames this session. Crazy aggressive player, Enrique, fueled a ton of the action and was deep stacked. Juicy...
Aggro kid Enrique straddles and I limp UTG with AA knowing he will pop it up. Four other callers and he makes it $24 to go. I re-raise to $64 and he calls. All others fold and the flop is 8d7d4h. He bets my last $140 and I call. He shows 8h7s. Can't catch up and he earns a nice pot.
Aggro kid in the big blind so I limp again from a new seat UTG+2. Two more come along and the button kicks it up to $10. Enrique makes it $25 and I re-raise to $60. Original raiser calls and Enrique folds. Flop is Kd9d8s. That is a good flop as I think he has AK. I lead out for $30 hoping to get a raise and sure enough he makes it $100. I shove for his last $65 and he insta-calls with 99. Dammit. No ace comes and he gets a nice pot.

Played 51 minutes,
Lost $174.20
at full tilt rush
$0.50 Pot-Limit Omaha
 guess my online run is officially ending here, hand that tilts me is I have QQJ9, flop is Q 10 x, I pot it for about 8 bucks as it was preflop raised multiway, get a caller, turn is 8 of diamonds giving me the nuts but it puts two diamonds up, I pot it for 24 or whatever and get shoved in by K J 6 2 with K high diamond draw, river comes 9, so fucking sick, shoving with nothing and getting there. Then a little later I have QQ53 in bb with Q high spades, of course we flop 2 4 6 with two spades, I pot get repotted, I repot he shoves in whatever I get it in, he has 5 7 A 6 with nut spades and it comes turn spade river spade for him. Yes I suck at fading draws!

ran really shitty in a couple key pots...the main one that kills me I have AA6x and flop 6 6 7, guy puts me on the AA and shoves over me with something like 4 4 5 8 and rivers the 9 to take a big pot from me. I really am disappointed with a couple calls I made preflop with hands like 9 10 J Q. Never was ramming them too hard myself but called a couple 3 or 4 way pots for 10 or 15 preflop when I could've easily got away. I obviously bricked with them, but preflop calling is a huge leak of mine right now.

I know I lost a boat load, and perhaps that's my inability to see I wasn't running well...but I can't find too much wrong with my play tonight. I raised with the best hand, folded the worst hand, made plays in what appeared to be good places, and got my money in good most of the time. I mostly just got unlucky.
I did hit a few big hands in between bad beats. But I didn't get too much from any of them. Dunno if I was easy to read, or noone else had a hand to play.
UTG I raise blind to $7. CO raises to $20. I look down at 2 black Jacks. So I raise to $75. he pushes all in for 110, and I have to call. He shows pocket queens. when the dealer flips the flop, there's a Jack in the window, but the rest of the flop is a 4 and a Queen. I fail to improve to quads, and I'm down to $30. Play Behind!
AhJs MP, after a limper, I raise to 7. I get 6 callers. 10K4 flop, 2 hearts. I cbet $30, and get called by UTG+2. turn is blank, we both check. river is 8 hearts. I shove, hoping he puts me on the flush. after a long while of thinking, he calls and shows pocket aces. Play Behind!
AA UTG. raise to 12, MP raises to 35, I raise ai to 52. She shows kings. hits a King in the window, and this was my last hand of the session.

I did a terrible job logging this session. Aside from first hand, I didn't type anything down. So its all from memory, and is probably at least partially incorrect. And for some reason, I can only remember hands that happened when I was on the button.
The session was pretty decent. I bought in for $100, and was getting nothing decent to play whatsoever at the start. I'd play speculative hands like 45s, sometimes even raising preflop, but I'd never flop anything and be forced to ditch.
I was down to about $40, so I put another $100 chip onto the table. I then started to hit some hands, and take some pots, when this one came up.
KJ hearts on button. 6 limpers to me, so I limped too. sb completes, bb checks. flop: K68, with 2 hearts. checked to me, i bet 10 with top pair and flush draw. I get 2 callers. turn: Q offsuit. we all check. river: 7 hearts. MP bets 15 and makes comment on how river has been making a winner out of loser, other player folds, I raise ai to $50 instantly, defiantly saying I don't care. He calls, more because he has to, rather than wanting to and shows Q3 hearts. I drag the pot.
AQo on button. a number of limpers to me. I raise to $12, SB calls, as do 2 others. Flop is A34 rainbow. checked to me, so I bet out $25. only SB calls. turn is A, making 2 spades. SB checks, so I bet out $35. SB raises to 90, and I raise ai to $121. He snap calls, and shows AJ. river is blank, and I rake a huge pot.
Dealt 99 on button. everyone limps(not even 1 fold), so I do too. we play a family pot, with flop: QQ4, UTG bets $5, and gets 6 callers. turn is 4, LMP bets $10, gets 1 caller plus me. river is 9. LMP bets out $25, and I raise to $85. He pushes for $110, and I snap call. He shows A4, and seems really pissed to see my boat. Makes a fuss about me calling down to the river, but everyone explains my side, how cheap he made it, and I had to call.
dealt KQo in SB. 2 or 3 limpers, and I raise to $12. BB calls as does LP. flop: J72 rainbow. I cbet to $20. LP calls. turn: 10 offsuit. I checked my oesd, and LP bets out $50. I re-raise to $135. LP folds.

$0.10 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (3rd out of 360 Players)
I'm still blocked from playing on stars for 4 days, which is OK, since I excluded myself a few nights ago. I took over for a friend late in a SNG and lost. Played again and won (see previous entry) and this one came next. I got lucky and finished in 3rd place after being down to 1100 chips with 2 tables left. From there was able to build my stack first with A/K suited second Pocket Jacks vs pocket aces hit a jack on turn Whew. Then Once again with K/K eliminating 3 players. The rest were just small pots both win and lose. Needless to say I love winning 40 times the buy in, whatever the stake! Thinking about trying a different site, other than poker stars and full tilt. Will see ....

$1.20 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (3rd out of 9 Players)
No big surprise, another 3rd place finish with a total gain of sixty-cents. Big Deal! Still I rather be up .60 then down 1.20, so no reason to dwell on the negative. Last night I logged another 20 "wins" to complete the total games I've won since playing under the name 1st-Degree12, or at least 98% of them are now accounted for, not including MTTs just SNGs. Happy New Month everybody! and Patrick still waiting for round 2 of 3, hope you did not forget, let me know when you feel froggy! hehehe c-u
