Live Donkeying

Published on 2007-03-29 16:16:00

I played poker last night after a full week off. I am still "offline" from online poker because I don't have a computer I can use in order to play, and I'm not desperate enough to find an internet cafe/university library... although I'm getting pretty desperate.I was supposed to be getting a computer from my aunt, but apparently it's crashing every 5 minutes and is basically worthless, so yeah I'm still without a CPU at the moment, which totally sucks. I'm not sure when I'll even be able to get

Disaster Strikes

... not at the poker tables, but away from the poker tables.My computer died! Yikes!Okay, so I'm starting to realise that I have literally no readership at this blog, which doesn't bother me so much, and I do get good readership at my www.thpblog.com blog (exit music, BTW). However I like having 2 blogs because I get to post the more self-indulgent BS here and more poker-theory stuff on the other blog.Right now I'm typing on a MAC, which wont allow me to install Poker Stars b/c I'm running MACOS

Today turned out to be rather unsucessful pokerwise, I was break even for about 900 hands of NL10 6-max, which is frusturating enough of an accomplishment. I also played 1 4.40-180 MTT, I busted out in aout 165th with my signature bust hand, AA. I wasn't skilled enough to get away from it, although I don't feel bad. My opponent didn't raise until the turn on a completely unthreatening board (Q-9-6-3 offsuit), so I can't really put him on too many hands that beat me (a set or Q9), especially sinc

The Return

Published on 2007-03-13 01:34:00

I had a good weekend with the g/f, we smoothed everything over and all is good again. I hadn't played poker for about 5 days so that was a good break after my -$250 downswing, I'm chilling around $225 right now in my pokerstars bankroll. Yeah it's fuckin pathetic, now's the time for me to drop back to NL10 and grind back up to 500 so I can take another shot at Nl25. Although I honestly doubt that I will have enough of a bankroll to play NL25 for the rest of this month.Basically my new goal for t

Yeah the day after that last -90 day I had another even worse day, PS bankroll sitting around $250 right now. Basically it was just terrible play, I can't really blame anything else other than myself, I am shit at poker.So yeah I'm taking a small break, probably not gonna play tomorrow either. I'm going to toronto on saturday to chill with my g/f. Things are getting weird though. We live in different cities and have completely different lives. Not sure how interested in eachother we are actually

Most epic day EVER

Published on 2007-03-06 03:55:00

Wow today was craaaazy poker. To start off I'll say that I ended the day down $90, which is pretty f*ing bad considering the levels I play. I was a complete DONKEY in SNGS today, everything was just going wrongly. And I played more today than I have ever in a day of online. Although there is hope for me. I played NL cash today :D I actually decided that I'm gonna fuck it with NL10 and move up to .10/.25 - I have enough of a bankroll spread over the web that I can probably handle the swings. Desp
