Omaha

Took third in a $22 pot limit omaha tourny. I woulda won easy but down to 5, im big leader and guy 2nd in chips calls all in on flop and hits a 2 outter. So ya i woulda had 80%+++ oh chips with 4 left. Oh well.

uggggggggggggg

400 person party poker $109 NL HE. Down to 12, im like tied for chip leader, 1500/3000 blinds. I reraise a guy all in with QQ he calls and shows JJ. HE 4 flushes me and destroys my stacks. I start trying to grind my way back up, but lose a coinflip as we get to the final 10 man table. IM shortstacked and go with my JJ on hand 2 of final table, too bad he has KK. Im totalyl pissed bc if my QQ held i woulda been the huge chipleader and walked to top 4 at least.

Rollercoaster of emotions

Congrats to Yoda/Schwah for his $210k score in the pacific tourny. AS we all know by now i missed out on 10% of that bc i didnt get my password in time from them to play and we always trade 10%. So anyways after todats rough real life stuff i sat down to play some stars and party poker tournies(just deposited on party. Did the 55 sapeed and 109 normal on party. 500 people ion the speed tourny but it was ridiculous. Anyways get heads up ,guy plays stupid and the nsucks out 3 hands in a row to win. 3500 for me 5850 for him. Im just glad i palyed ok even with Real life stuff going on. Also was doing great in 109 until i got 2 outted after an all in on flop for huge pot. I am stil lalive tho.

PS i hope someone calls me eventually but i dont think she reads this :O

Rollercoaster of Emotions

WEll, first off, congrats to Yoda aka Schwah aka whatever else for big big $210k win on PAcific yesterday. I Think we all know now i missed out on 10% of that because i couldnt get my password in time(we woulda traded 10%) But im very proud of him! Then some pesonal stuff went down today but i tried to paly poker anyways. I booted on stars and party poker and entered some stuff. I entered the 109 NL and the 55 speed. Well the speed thing is ridiculous but i made it heads up out of 500 people. THe guy folds idiotically then sucks out 3 hands in a ROW to beat me. So ya won 3500, first was 5850 or so though. Im just glad i played well despite worldly stuff.

PS i hope someone calls me eventually haha but i dont think she reads this.

11 rebuy

so i do the 11 rebuy. Im the chip leader with 130 left when my KK runs into a AA and i fall back to like 25th. I come back and am 4th with 22 left. 6k/12k blinds, ive got like 350k. folds to me in SB, i call with J9s, BB check. 953 flop, i bet 24k, he goes all in for 100k more i call and he shows A3, rofl. River A of course. Two hands later its 20k/40k and ive got about 240k. Guy goes all in with A2 i call with AJs. Well J34 flop, turn nothing river 5, i lose again. I end up playing great to come back, but never really recover enough to gain momentum and finish 6th. Still, my best finish for a rebuy. If i had won those hands though i would bullied so many blnids, people werent very good.

$109 NL

Well i was doing the $109 while watching many episodes of Law and Order. Its down to 55 and im about 20th, 27 spots pay and first palce is a little over 7k. Well i was feeling good and got KK in the small blind. Chip leader at table raises from cutoff to 1200(200/400 blinds) and i reraise to 4k with KK. He raises me in my last 2k i call and he shows AA. Ya gay.

$20 buy in charity tourny

In other news, i did that live charity poker tournament at UCLA. The structure wasnt bad, rebuys in first hour but only if u had 0 chips. I doubled up on hand one with AA after i min raised and a KQ guy caught his K and called my flop raise and turn all in raise. After that a won a few pots here and there.

I had an all in hand where my QQ held up vs A2, then it was down to 17, 16 spots paid prizes(not money, different gift cert. and trips etc. First was a tri pto vegas, 2nd was an iPod. Anyways, i had AT with it 5 handed. I min raise is to 800 with ATo and the SB pushes in for 900 more and the BB calls his last 150 extra. So i call the 900, SB has 66 and BB had KT. the 66 holds up and im not huge anymore.
Down to 10, i have 2900 after my SB of 200 is posted, big stack button calls, i go all in expecting to pick up the blinds with AK. BB folds and big stack xalls saying it worth it to take some out. He has QTo and flop comes low,low,low,low, QUEEN. BAM im out no uPod for me. If i won i woulda been like top 5 in chips.

I was still in the food prizes, not quite the trips or iPod type stuff yet. So i got two "entree and drink" gift certificates to California Pizza Kitchen.

A cool thing is when we got down to 16(two 8 person tables, tables had be 8,7,6, or 5 throughtout tourny) the cahnged chisp from chitty ones to chips the Bike donated. They were actually the Legends of Poker chips, pretty nice. I also won one of the smaller raffles for a Paradize poker mouse pad, pen, and shirt.

oh BABY

WEll, i did the 11$ NL, the 11 revuy NL and the 55 NL. They all started at about the same time. I was an early chipleader in all of them. Only the 55 NL worked out though, although i was up and down a few times. Anyways, i ended up geting down to 2 and chopping 50/50 for 4500, awesome! Gank got 3rd in the tournament. I feel great and really needed a big score. The 55 NL has always been my favorite tournament and its the one i have the most final tables at. so ya that ruled.

Bad Beat weak

Been taking tons of non sto pbad beats, ouch blah blah. Anyways i do the 109 PL hold em tnogiht, 99 players. So i work my way up to about 1800, wheni get AKs. I max raise ti from mid pos, the BB IAmLucky calls. Flop ace high two spades. He checks i bet the pot. He calls. Turn low spade. He Checks i go all in he calls with AT. That ten was a spade so when a 4th spade fell on river i was down to 175 in chips. I win a couple pots picking my spots and getting decent hands like AT when idiots try to steal my blind(like 50% my stack) with JT.

OK, so im up top 2100 in chips, it folds to ymc blind and i call 100 more with K8o. He raises 400 more after thinking a second and i quickly all. Flop come KQ7 all clubs. I bet the pot 1200, leacing me with 300 left. he thinks about 20 seconds the nreraises me my last 300 and i call of course as im sure he knew i would. He flips over 24o, with the 2 of clubs. So ya he called of 1500(he knew i was calling the small reraise) with a 2 high flush which he couldnt be sure was even live. The turn wasa club and i was bust rather than being top 15 with 40ish left.
