Lala

Leaving Moday afteroon for Lake Arrowhead to visit the girlfriend. I'll be back Wednesday afternoon.
Had a bad poker session just now. I seriously cannot win a big showdown with KK. This time some guy got all in for $500 vs me with AQ, rivers an ace to win the 1k pot. cool. Then i went on my first mad tilt session after a few mor bad beats since i started 6 handed cash, woops. So good thing im taking this break i guess. Ok bye.

Oh The Excitement

So, my World Series of Poker team hasnt performed much yet. Im pretty far back in the standing. But i want that 50k for first place! Victor Ramdin keeps getting big staks then blowing it and not final tabling, Depressing. James van Alstyne has been missing, so im assuming he hasnt played anything yet. That or he sucks.

The 50k HORSE event is today. Thats limit hold em, Omaha 8 or better, Razz, Stud, Stud 8 or better. Most my team is playing, even Van Alstyne. I dont think Gavin Smith is playing, and John Phan is at the 1k No limit hold em final table! Good luck John PHan, please win. Hes 2nd in chips to start. I need guys like Jefrey Lissandro and Miny Ly to do well today. I picked thme up cheap for events like this.

Heres my squad:
Chris Ferguson
Daniel Negreanu
Barry Greenstein
John Phan
Gavin Smith
Darrell Dicken
Victor Ramdin
James Van Alstyne
Minh Ly
Jeffrey Lisandro

Poker has been going pretty well. Havent palyed a ton, but definitely logging some hands. PLayed 8300 hands since i started 6 handed tables. Despite my downward slide yesterday and the night before that, i have a nice win rate according to PokerTracker. Hopefully i can keep it up.

My brother is going to try to learn to play. He room it literally 5 feet for mine, so hopefully i can teahc ihm quickly. I gave him $5 to play the penny tables. I just want him to log hands and get a feel, and im going to havehim read Harrington on Hold em volume 1. He will learn the basicsin that, and how to play tight/solid. I think its good for a player to start our learning a tight style. Once they have that down, they can leanr nuances of difernet styles and the plusses and negatives of each. And also, ever player has to play tight at times, so he needs that ability anyways. So once he reads the book, ill probably go to more in depth things.

Poker and Random

Had a killer tday at 2/4 NL yesterday. PLayed about 1k hands. Played again today, played great a again but took ~$2700 in bad beats. Top two all in vs 9 out flush draw on flop($1000 pot), bottom two all vs 8 out flush draw on flop(900 pot), and AA vs KK all in preflop (800 pot). These were the three biggest hands i played, i got in ahead in all, and lost al. So being down 500 makes me super happy. So it may be odd im happy with my session but i am! I grinded out a lot of small pots to make up for the 1300ish loss of my money in those pots.


I need to not ruin current specific situations becaise of other certain past occurences, and those past occurences may have rendered me unable to priorly not ruin past situations but at the present i can definitely overcome and not ruin.


Ill play more poker later i think.

Update: Turn that frown upside down. 4 tabled for an hour, now im up for day.

Summer Rules

Cardrunners has been cool, ivel earned some stuff. Only wacthed a few videos so far though. Im doing well in the cash games on stars, havent played much of anything else. In fact, ive only played a little at all. Ive played a lot of World Of Warcraft with my brother, i have human mage. Hes badass.

For the 4th of July i hung out with my friend Lauren. We went to beeach early, then saw The Devil Wears Prada in the afternoon. It was actually very good i thought. Um ya dont have much else to say.
