I am living up to the title of my blog quite well now. I am just sucking it up hardcore these past couple days.

I played the $55k today and was rocking a 70k stack with 140 players left when I got 1010 in last posistion. I raise, guy pushes and I think about it, decide he is on tilt and call. Everybody and their brothers knew he had jacks and when I didn't improve I was left with 12k chips. Now there is 137 people left and 135th gets $70. I can stall and make it to the money but I decide it would be sick if I pushed the rest in with A10s because I FUCKING PLAY TO WIN. Right, guy calls with AK and I lose.

I'm actually quite good at MTTs but I really need to focus like I did today in the $55k and not fuck up. I'm not going to play cash games for a bit because I really did blow quite a bit of money doing that. I'm just going to play the $1-3 Micro tournies and hopefully have another big cash like I did last time.

Everybody is doing this $$$ in a month deal so I figure I should as well. I am going to win $5,000 in the month of June. It seems like a lot because I've never made that much but I really think that I can do it. I'm playing quite a bit latly and if I don't screw up, I'll be golden.

I've got some money on "Everst Poker" as well. And by some money, I mean more than half of my entire BR. The cash games there are super easy, like hard-core people suck.

I might even decide to go to work tomorrow...We'll see. 2 hours in a way good?

Starting RIGHT now I will make $5,000.

Starting BR: $89 on Everst. $81 on Stars.

TOTAL: $170

I just had a revalation...I think I know peoples throught process's now.

They think to themselves.."What is the worst hand I can beat this guy with?" and then procede to call PFR's with junk and take my money. Mostly because I'm a donk but partly because I hate them.

The real 5/29/06

I must have read my watch wrong because the previous post was actually from 5/26 but I have nothing new to report. I'm doing well still, just grinding away at the $25 NL tables. I made two big mistakes that I have vowed to not make again which is when there is a paired bored, I never give them credit for having the trips, especially when it is 227 and they hold 2Js even though I raised PF. Eh, I'm learning and this time applying what I've learned, a semi-new concept to me. Lets hope it all works.
Best,

I. am. on. top. of. my. game. I cannot be beat. I am playing the best poker I have ever played in my entire life. Ask me who is the best. Who is the best? Me. Hands down. I just rocked 7 tables at once and made out like a bandit, averaging 26 BB/100. Wow. I just looked at that number and am pretty amazed with myself. I made sick law downs, sick bluffs and played SOLID poker. I am really happy with myself right now. I am going to treat myself to sushi, well, not treat because I would have gone if I lost anyway because I'm a spoiled rich kid.

One of my best hands.

I did really well in a $1 MTT last night placing 7th out of more than 700 entrants. Too bad it wasn't a higher stakes as I only made $25.

Now I am doing the Micro TLB challange from P5's. I busted out calling an AI with 10's and the guy had Q's. Bad move on my part. Definetly could have gotten my money in a better spot. Oh well. Now I'm doing the $3 rebuy and playing conservatively because I don't want to have to rebuy a whole bunch. We'll see.

I've been playing for a bit everyday after work, doing some $10 cash games or small MTTs. I havn't actually posted a profit yet but really have not been able to really get any long stretches in. I'm in a $2 and $1 MTT right now and near the money. Hopefully I'll be able to at least get the ITM, hopefully a final table. Just busted out of one because AQ on buton meets A9 which hit two-pair.

We'll see.

Back at with $56! We'll see what happens....

And I'm done. Decided that I owned $5/10 and would rock it with my $100 BR. I actually managed to do just that and get up to $250 until I started watching TV and stopped really paying attention. That cost me the game! One more lesson learned! So I'm rocking a $1 NL game right now...I'll build my BR...I will!

The good news is that I emailed Poker Stars and asked them for my total transaction history and it turns out that I am up $68 overall! I'd guss I've spent well over 1000+ hours playing/reading poker so thats about $.00001/hour. Not bad, eh? I really do think I can beat the $5/10 game so I'm going to put $1500 online and give it a shot. If I lose this, I really do think I have to quit. Because well, I'll be a dumbass if I don't might lose my entire tution.

Best,
Rolon

I'm back at home for the summer and had thought I wouldn't play any poker while I was back but really couldn't help myself. I deposited $150 and if I am able to make some money (prays) I'm going to start withdrawing- quite often I hope. I'm in 2 SnG right now. $10 SNG's deal.
