Blog Moving...
I am sad to say that this is my last blog post on this site. I have moved my blog to CardRunners.com, under blogs- IversonXX3's blog. They have just redone their site completely and it's much better and tons of good promotions/features, though just have to get used to it a bit. I'm also posting here because I want to blog, but at my junior college public comp, I cannot log into CR for some reason; it keeps saying I have to register... Neway, saw CTS's 25/50 vid yesterday, and it was very good. Definitely Fridays are the best for videos as far as entertainment value and level of thinking (the high stakes cash game vids). Looking forward to that. My plans tonight are to go to a friends house and maybe spend the night and whatnot. Saturday I can hopefully go out with a lady friend and see what happens w/ dinner and a movie or somethin...
October 6th I'm going to Brad Paisley concert and gonna hopefully have tons of fun w/ friends and go nuts. Country concerts are supposed to be sick, so I don't care if I'm into Country music.
Got a $104 stake from a friend (Heir_Aparent) who just got $1.1k yesterday. He said it was from a bet he made with a friend that he won... (sick that he makes $1.1k bets...) It's a 50/50 stake for me at HU SNGS. I lost a $55 A9 to KK when board was 9224, and river 9, and I paid off riv to end my tourney life. Same happened with QQ to 47 on the 455 flop turn 7 river 4... sooo gross. Did manage to make the nastiest call I've ever made with pretty shallow stacks hu at my $52.50 hu sng. Button limped, I checked with my T4 or 94o or something. Flop comes A84, two spades. I have no spade in my hand. I check/call a flop 100 bet (blinds were 50/100 so pot was 200, so he beth alf pot on flop). Turn comes Qs. I check, he bets 150. I think a bit and call. River is the 4th spade, a 5s. I check, he fires 300 pretty quickly, I tank and call with mybottom pair crappy kicker on the 4 flush and ridic overcard board. He flips 102o and I scoop the pot to take half his chips and have a 3:1 or 4:1 chiplead (don't remember). VERYsick for me and a major confidence booster to correctly thinka bout people's ranges. My thought process: He was limping the button with a wide range, so I would assume he couldn't have a high spade in general, and probably a rele junky hand. Anyway, I c/c the flop because I figure he's not limping an ace, and he's minbetting in position with any hand he's limping the button with for sure. The turn is a good scare card and overcard. So he would certainly check behind a 9 on the turn IMO- he wuz bluffy but not retarded. He bet 150 into the 400 on the turn, perhaps more, I'm not sure. Neway, I thought the ONLY hands he could have are air or Q's. High spade IMO just not possible cuz he'd raise (he'd been aggressive with a high spade). River comes the 4th spade. Board is A84Q5ssss board. He fires 300 into the 600 pot or so (i know my math of the pot size sux I'll post hh soon- sry!) I tank. He bets the river spade. He's not betting two pair, he's not betting a straight, and he's not betting a low spade for value because I c/c the turn, so most likely I had pair+decent spade draw. I put him on nothing for those reasons, and made like the most nutso call I've ever made in my life. By no means the most influential amount of money I'd been playing for ($50 hu sng), but I woulda NEVER thought of making this call in my LIFE a few months ago, so I think I'm getting better and more theoretical, as well as my head clearing up.
Goal- My roll now is $220. When I get a chance, I'll play a $220 hu sng, then hopefully I can get to the next level... if I'm a little short to do that I'll playa nother $220. So if I have to do that, I'll have a $600 roll, I'm going to play a $500 hu sng, then a $1k, and so forth I'd say... I'm just goi all out- I seriously think I'm a very good HU sng player. In actuality I only ahve to win 4 sngs in a row, 3 of which at double the stakes, to get a $2k roll (so technically a $1k roll after I pay him his part of the stake). If I get that $1k roll, I'll make sure to grind 6max sngs or HU sngs with decent rolls, mainly playing when motivated, NOT when bored or w/e. I really do have confidence in my MTT, STT, and HU SNG game, just I need to run ok and win races, which is soo tough. Pce.

Cooling Off...
Alrite, feeling better from yesterday. I'll try not to think of all the small rolls I've busted from running like balls...However, there has been some definite good that has come of it:
1. Went to the Gym today and had a lot of fun. I will hopefully be more motivated to do things rite now because poker is no longer an option
2. PLAYING HALO 3 RITE NOW AND IT'S FUCKING SICK AS HELL...the graphics are the nuts for sure, and the gameplay is a nice mix of the old and the new. It sorta feels a bit like halo 1 with refined parts of halo 2. I might have to continue mooching off an online wireless network because I don't believe this fucking fancy-ass new router we have here is compatible with the Xbox 360 wireless adapter or my HP Pavilion Notebook.
3. Will hopefully have some more time for schoolwork
Hopefully I can get a stake soon and play an hour or so every other day to be opposite of my lifting schedule...that'd be the ultimate life balance.

My Poker-Playing is Seriously a Fucking Joke
Yup, bust my whole $2400 roll that I grinded up from $1k two days ago? Oh, why? Well I showed the bad beats on the other blog post, then I bubble a 9man STT when I raised twice in a row and got shoved on by SAME fucking guy BOTH times, and I had enough chips to fold a9 and 55. Calling it all off is bad. Then the third hand in a row I had ATdd with 88BB. I shove with that, same fucking guy calls my push, he has AQ. Board bricks. Thank the Lord my life is fucking good. I run SOO fucking bad it's such a stupid fucking joke. Poker gets me so fucking depressed when I run bad, almost as bad as if I were to play bad. It's SOO disgustlingly sick. It's so easy to bust a roll >$4k in a few hours if you run bad. My luck is so unbelieavble it's disgusting... yesterday ran pretty well and won 10 BI in a total of 4 hours. Lose ~11 BI tonite (playing above roll) in like a fucking hour and a half just gettin bad beated, coolered, and just fucking leveled. In PLO, I lost a $800 pot at $2/$4 hu vs a donk when I buttonraised AA94 with clubs, dude repotted to $36. I thought a bit and decided wtf I'll just repot. He called. Flop comes 834, two hearts, he pots the flop, I shove for maybe $10 more, he calls showing Q83K with two fucking hearts. What a GREAT FUCKING 3BET PREFLOP AND COLDCALLING 4BET OOP for 1/3 ur stack. Well fucking done. I obv brick because he completely stuck his cock in that flop's ass, and theres' a nice $400 from my diminishing roll...
I feel so bad; I just need to play on a fucking stake. I know my roll management would be a lot better cuz my staker would most likely sweat me some and tell me when I'm playing well or poorly, runnin bad, etc. They'd keep my head straight. I guarantee if I had an assistant at poker, with all the rolls I've busted and all the more time I would be playing, I'd say I'd have won $40k more in the past few years. Yea, SICK. That though right there puts me on life tilt. Was this busting my roll for the better? Maybe. Was it a sign from God to chill on poker until college and when I have a job? Maybe....Will I EVER PLAY AGAIN LATE AT NITE WHEN I ALWAYS 100% RUN LIKE FUCK... never. EVER. It's the dumbest fucking superstition ever, but I would bet damn good money it's been true 96% of my late night sessions. Fuck this is completely gross. At least I expect maybe $300 back in rakeback?
My goals for the rest of this year:
1. Take that $300 roll and not play cash games at all, but rather some $24 small donkaments or sngs or somethin and try to grind something out.
2. Try to run good in those MTTs/SNGs
3. Lift and get bigger
4. Good grades and work harder/study
That's it... normal shit for a student. Yea, not to bust another small roll would be a nice fucking start.

Pretty Good Day
Today won 3 1/4 BIs for $375. Roll is now $2375, so I'm feeling pretty well at this point. Playing my A game not getting worn out or tilting. I'm definitely humbled from long ago...
Stats: 2200 hands playing 32/28/4.6 winning $514@1.59bb/100 (I'd say that this is incorrect on amoutn I won from NLHE... I would assume some hh last nite mixed in- the date setting is not working on my PT). I made a good run in my PLO game today and ended with $650 at a $100 max buyin table (started with $65). So decitupling my buyin (if that's a word...!?) is quite nice... I think I probably broke even for NLHE today and won in general in PLO (lost a bit at some other tables...)
Some HH:
Nice PLO pot where I got lucky on the river after terrible turn card... I don't mind other dude's iso shove, and AAxxdd is going to stick it all in on this flop neday. I decided once other dude shoved over AAxx's continution bet, I figured him for some sort of gutshot+ diamond draw. I stuck my chips in fairly quickly because I was almost sure he didn't have 67. Sure enough he had pair+gutshot+overs; a bit of a loose shove with me still behind, he lucksacked turn, I resucked riv :) 300BB pot feels gooot http://www.pokerhand.org/?1515505
I definitely thought about whether I wanted to see the turn by just calling the flop 4bet. I think decided that with the possibilty of him having a gutshot and lower club draw or maybe T's with pair+gutshot, I just stuck it in. I hit the best turn card for me without making my hand and it held. I was 56.5% fav on flop and 83% on turn. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1515516
Just a SICK flop for the both of us... very lucky I wasn't deeper. I mean I flopped top pair+wrap. His hand rele did sorta suck for my hand, but still, I think I'm like 60:40 to win neway on flop. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1515567
This guy had been playing very solidly, though I had been beating him definitely in some pots, with some very strong semibluffs. Very suprised at his donkish play- I wuz committed to calling because felt too much of his range was 1 pair+draw, so I was ~50/50 most of the time getting like over 2:1 on flop call of his push. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1515659
Very sexy float... starting stacks are about $150. I got C/r on the flop and didn't figure him for much. If I 3bet, he's calling or shoving a fairly wide range, since often 7x or 3's full won't 4bomb this flop (in my spot), and neither would a bit pair. Neway, I decided to float and called. Turn came a nice scare card, and now two draws on the board. My range to him was... 7x, 3s full, Axss, big spades (which probably 4bet flop) but not Axss, and big pairs. My line tho looked most likely like Axss or the flopped joint. By raising the turn he folds out any mid/small pairs he'll c/r with, any bluffs, and all spade draws but Axss. That way he folds out all of his range but 7x or 33, and I got money out of bluffs, draws, and smallish/mid pairs. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1515691
On a side note, a little frustrated because at my house my dad finished installing the wireless network. I was not a fan of the whole thing, but once done, I've come to enjoy the significantly less amount of cables around the house. Then for some reason my wireless card in my laptop won't detect it, so since I have only one of these external wireless cards, I might just have to stick to using it and not being able to be on desktop and laptop at once!!! :-( I'll try to resolve the problem soon, not quite sure how tho...
