short session

Posted 11:14 pm in Categories: Poker

Well, I played a short session tonight @ 2/4. The wait lists were uber long at 3/6 so I sat down at a few 2/4 speed tables. Not a bad session, I won ~$51. I also played a $16 turbo but busted early when KK lost to AQs.

Sorry, this blog isn't very exciting. You want exciting, you'll have to find Sean.

A few hands at 3/6 and a $16 turbo.

Posted 11:45 pm in Categories: Poker

So today I ventured into unchartered territories and decided to test the water at 3/6. It went well. I played for about an hour, and logged a +16BB session. I also just finished playing a $16 turbo on Stars. I won.

Not really any interesting hands except for one at 3/6. I pick up AA utg+2. I raise, and it folds to the SB. Just when I think it's going to fold around, the SB re-raises. Nice. BB folds and I cap. SB calls, obviously. The flop brought a very uncoordinated board of rags and I knew immediately that I was getting paid. SB checks, setting up a check-raise, so I oblige him with a bet. Sure enough he raises, so I 3-bet and he caps. The turn was another rag, and SB leads out. I raise and SB calls. The river was another low rag and SB check/calls and AA takes down the pot. Oh, SB had QQ.

Good times.

So today I played about 200 hands of 2/4 and lost $61. It probably would have been a lot worse but I could feel myself starting to tilt over a bit. This, coupled with the fact that none of my big hands were holding up prompted me to cut the session short and just chill all day. I did fold AA. First time I think I've folded it. I'd have to check, but nothing is coming to memory. No, it wasn't pre.

The IRC crowd decided to play a $20+2 180 person SnG on Stars. I was up for it and played some pretty good poker most of the night. I was in the top 5 in chips most of the night until I called an all-in preflop against a medium sized stack w/66. Villain had AQ and turned a Q. I never really recovered from that hit and ended up busting out in 22nd. Kinda depressing, actually.

Just a random tidbit of the madness that is #thp on the IRC network...

Sometimes when a new person comes into the channel we will just start having a random, crazy-ass conversation...hilarity *usually* ensues

* Moon_Child has joined #THP
(zinn0) and then I slapped her right in the mouth
(THP`Craig1) and said that was for the midget
(zinn0) with his little t-rex arms
(SeanBoozedUp) What happened to the cop?
(zinn0) well, he threatened me with jail until I pointed out the midget was fucking his wife too
(SeanBoozedUp) Yikes
(zinn0) yea
(zinn0) he did make me leave the premisis tho
(SeanBoozedUp) Probably best
(zinn0) yea. I drove by there earlier...midgetboy was there again
(SeanBoozedUp) Fucking bastard
(zinn0) Yea, I almost went to walmart and bought a big rubbermaid tote so I could kidnap him and stuff him in it then chuck it into the river
(SeanBoozedUp) Would serve him right
(zinn0) I don't even want to talk about it. I'm getting all lathered up.
(SeanBoozedUp) My balls itch just thinking about it
(SeanBoozedUp) That is the longest that joke has ever gone.
(SeanBoozedUp) Congrats to all who contributed!
(zinn0) 7 minutes?
(zinn0) hrm
(zinn0) and the new guy didn't even respond
(SeanBoozedUp) I was disappointed.
(SeanBoozedUp) Thought we had enough to drag something out of him
(zinn0) no shit
(zinn0) that's like the hardest I've worked in months

Lots of pok-ah

Posted 1:11 am in Categories: Poker

So I played a fair amount of cards today. 650 hands of 2/4 and I also donked it up with some of the IRC/THP crowd in a $1+.10 mtt. Overall it was a good day. 2/4 was kind to me and I won ~52 BB's. Oh, I also managed a cash in the mtt. I'm not sure how this happened as I only played around 20 hands total, but I took 84th out of 850 or so. I made $0.61. Craig/Crack busted me when he called my all-in push with KQo with A3o. I guess it's only fair considering I'm 2-0 against him HU.

o_O

Overall, the transition back to Pokerstars has been a smooth one. I'm also starting to think that FL is my game. It's funny really, because when I first started playing it, I hated it with a passion and couldn't fathom how anyone made money at it.

I'm silly like that sometimes.

Still no poker...

Posted 11:41 pm in Categories: Poker

SO I'm still waiting on the cashout from Titan to go through so I can start playing on Stars again. Hopefully it goes through in the next 20 minutes or so because Stars is running a bonus until midnight tonight. They've also released a beta-test version of their next software upgrade which includes resizeable tables (yay) and table themes. I'm totally down with the resizeable tables. Especially for what I have planned once I get back in the action. 3 tabling 15+1 turbos and a table of 2/4FL because well, thats how I roll.
