Well monday i was at work and decided to play some 500 fpp sattelites to the sunday million. Donked outta the first one with a set vs. flush draw. 2nd one i ran pretty well in and played damn near close to perfect especially around bubble time. So i ended up unregistering for the mil and taking the $215 in tourney dollars instead and try to build up a bankroll on stars again. I had a plan to play the $109 3K starting chips that night and if i didnt cash then i was done and was sticking to $4.40 180 mans.
So Monday night tourney started off pretty well and i had a top 5 stack for most of the first 2 hours after doubling up the 3rd hand with AA vs. KQ on Q high flop. Ran really really well except for one mistep i took right after the bubble burst. Q 10 in SB with 2 limpers. Flop came Q high and i check raised the button all in and he slow played his aces to a winner. I was stuck with 6K with blinds at 2K/4K and not looking so hot. I doubled up once then again and then once again and all of a sudden i was looking pretty damn well to final table this thing. First place was ~$9K or so and i told jason i was flying to vegas the next day if i won it. Well final table hit and i was pretty much card dead picking up the blinds whenever i could. I waited for my spot until i got jacks in the BB after an UTG raise. I had no choice but to stick it in and hope it held. Well i was up against 88 for a 3rd place stack if it holds...but flop comes out 8 high and im sent to the rail with a $1288 7th place finish. I was not very happy with the result of that hand as i felt that the rest of the players were VERY VERY weak and just overly aggressive at all times which could of been easily exploited with a decent stack in front of me. But nothing ya can do.
Last night i decided to run the $20r & the $30 freezeout. The $20r ran VERY well for the first hour and i was sitting with 18K or so at first break. Well next 2 hours ran absolutely TERRIBLE for me card wise and i couldnt pick up a hand even remotely close to playing for hte life of me. Slightly into the 3rd hour i was gettin pretty short and in shove/fold mode but i still had a bit of fold equity in my stack to a normal raise. Well i pick up 99 after a 2nd position minraise (this guy was absolutely terrible and very very weak misplaying about every hand but he had a decent stack.). So i figured he was raising garbage suited cards like usual and shove. He insta calls with J8 of clubs for 30% of his stack. Now this is just a call i cant even begin to describe what he was thinking in his mind when calling this. Anyways he flops a flooosh with J8 and im sent to the rail 20 players from the bubble.
The $30 started out the exact same way where i tripled up the second hand of the tourney and ran it up to top 10 very quickly and stayed there for most of the tourney. I did misplay AK really badly late in the tourney and gave away about 50% of my stack. I worked back up to avg. stack again and then pot committed myself preflop with AK and ran into aces to get knocked out in 66th again 20 or so away from the bubble.
This morning i ran terrible in the $109 and the $8r on stars. Went deep in the $8r and bubbled for a top 10 stack with KK vs. AQ all in preflop only to be out in 180 something place or so. It was just a day filled with folding my junk ass cards and not even remotely having any chances to do something positive with my chips. Oh and i ran across RusoStreet in the $8r and i do have to say his attitude has 100% completely changed from when he was running $4.40s. He has a pretty huge amount of scores from bodog and has become cocky & arrogant in my opinion. Just shows what money can do to you.

Building a roll on FPP's
| My new goal is to utse the 70 FPP sngs to the 100k on sundays to build up $ 100 worth of t$ once, i reach that goal i will use the $ 100 worth of t$ to play 4.40 180's and try to build a roll that way. Which will allow me to play 20 or so 4.40 180's , if i can get a top 3 in 2-3 of them it will start me on a good path. I've already won 3 seats using FPP, but used $ 11 in t$ to play a MTT. From now on i will be sticking with the plan, i hope to accomplish my goal by sunday. I will keep you up to date on how i've done. Right now i'm registered for the 100k and have 11 t$ i will stay registered for the 100k. Hopefully this is my journy on to a long way back, but its a start. |

Kzoo Trip Report
Ok so so this weekend i had to head to kzoo to clean out some shit out of my old apartment and pick up some of my old things. After waking up and fighting with my ex-girlfriend (which was an awesome start to my day i might add) , I got out there about 1:00 or so packed up my mom's van with all my stuff and headed to meet a friend at a local bowling alley for a $1/$2NL game. Now come to find out this place has a blanket permit for charity gaming. They can only sell $15K in chips in one night and max bet is $100.
We only had about 2 hours to play until the tourney that was going on at another place. Was up about $120 or so after about an hour and this hand came up.
I held J10 offsuit in the small blind and this old guy raised in the cutoff...he raised prolly 80% of his hands and was absolutely terrible just waiting to catch him. So flop comes K Q 3. I check it to him and he bets his $15 weak ass continuation bet...so i float it hoping to hit or take it away. Turn is a K...i check, he fires $20 and i make it $50 and he thinks for 2 seconds and calls. River is 3rd K. So now i basically put him on the Q and i cant really represent quads as this is the type of person who isnt folding K's full here for any amount of money. So i check and he bets $50 and i throw it away and he tables Q 6 offsuit. Nice hand buddy.
I limp a lot of pots and dont see anything for about the next hour. We announce were leaving in 15 min. and this final hand comes into play. Folds around...old guy raises it up to $10 from the cutoff and i call with 49 suited just waiting to hit a flop so i can double. We are heads up and flop comes 4 5 8 with 2 clubs. Check it to him and he bets his $15 so i call to let him bet his garbage the whole way down. Turn comes 5. I check to him again and he fires $40. Now heres where i had a brainfart. I should of repopped him all in as i only had $146 left...remember max bet is $100. This guy has never fired $40 at any pot the entire 2 hours ive been sitting here. I make the call still thinking im ahead but still a little cautious he paired one of his junk cards. River brings 9. Flush draw misses and now i have 9's & 5's. I check to him and he fires $100 but his hands are shaking. I took a little bit of time here though and replayed the hand. Now even if he paired his junk card my 9 hit and im ahead of anything besides the 5 he could of hit. Besides an overpair to 9's which i do NOT think he'd be firing this amount with on that river. So i push my $106 in and he tables AK off. I show my 94 and the table goes nuts about how good of a call it was. When in all actuality i play back my hand and it was a pretty easy call IMO. So we head to cashier and i cash out +$275 or so.
We head over to where the tourney was going and there were 16 players who showed up. Im not up for playing a $100 sng live by any means so we vote it's cash game or im leaving. Majority votes cash game and we sit down for round 2 for the day.
Everyone buys in for $200 or so...and i stake a friend in the game as well with a 50/50 after stake back agreement so he can play. This guy is one hell of a cash game player and im happy to have my money on him lol. This game is a $1/$2 NL (at all times) round by round with pineapple, hold em and omaha hi/lo.
I start off to a good start with a few big omaha hands and am up about $300 after an hour or so. My stakee ends up busting for his $200 and i float him another $100 and that's the last i was giving him. He gets down to $43 or so and then goes on one hellatious run and gets back up to $400 or so. When an omaha hand hits when another guy shoves $300 all in on an AK4 board with 2 spades into his AA Q8 with a spade draw. So he has top set with the nut flush draw (i folded K of spades) he calls to be up against KK for middle set and no low for drawing to one out and it holds. We ended up switching to a strictly omaha hi/lo game cause all the other pots were pretty boring. I ended up having to fold a few big hands with top set on the flop to a suited connected flop. Made a few calls but pretty much played 100% perfect. At about midnight i call it a night and the game pretty much breaks since i had a 2 hour drive back to detroit ahead of me. I cash in for about $600 or a little short of and my stakee cashes in pays me back everything i loaned him and we split profit for $275 a piece. NICE!!!!!!!
So overall it was about a +$1300 or so weekend in poker. MUCH needed weekend i miss it just running game to game and playing perfect and scooping up some nice cash and just having a fucking blast without any worries.
Oh so after all that im driving home cautiously as there are a million deer runnin around on the side of the road and me being exhausted, im about 10 min. from home and I pass a car going the opposite way on a 2 lane road when i hear a loud ass BOOM and the windshield shatters. Now i pull over to check out what could of possibly happened and the only thing i can even remotely deduct was that someone in that car threw something large and heavy directly at the windshield of my mom's van. It broke through the first layer of glass and into the second layer. BALLS on stupid fucking kids prolly. So i wake up and head over my mom's to explain the story and fork out $200 or so to cover the deductible on the windshield. Still not quite sure why i cant have one amazing weekend without something going wrong.
Oh and mine & pimp's cake account sucks ass now and is running colder than any account ive ever had so hopefully that will change sometime soon. Still running the neverbeg stake but not doing so hot now just floating around the original stake of $25 now after having a few cold runs and some non-cashes in mtt's & 4.40s. But still alive.

Greektown Trip Report
Ok all just got back from a 4 hour greektown trip here. 4 hours later and 6 heart attacks later this was by far the most disgusting table i have ever sat at in my life.
First off i sat down and half my table was absolutely shitfaced with one indian kid that was just TERRIBLE at poker. For the first 5 hands i sat out i watched him push all in with A 6 suited...A 9 offsuit...and floppin open ended draw. So off the bat i have no respect for any of his raises. After about 2 hours he was in for $700 or so.
First hand in question...
4 limps and the button makes it $17. (I was down to $50 after i called a $40 all in with J10 suited after 4 people made the call. I flopped open ended but couldnt connect against 55). Anyways so the button, who has raised 4 pots in a row and shown down J 6 off & K 5 off, has about $300 in front of him so i just push for my last $50 and he makes the call like i thought he would and shows 55. Dodge the flop but he bones his 5 on the river....REBUY!!!!!!!!!
Buy back in for $100 as this is the max buy-in at this table. Get back down to $40 after 99 doesnt hold against AK all in pre for a $100+ pot...when the next hand comes into play.
I get aces in the BB when the tightest guy at the table makes it $15 to go in the cutoff and i just push my last $40 in with rockets and hope they hold. He shows KK. HONESTLY i stood up and grabbed my hoody to pack my shit cause i knew what was coming. Flop sure enough K high and i nonchalantly say good playing guys cause it was surely expected to hit. Turn blanks and river my 2 outer ace and scoop it. JUSTICE i love it.
So after a few hands im back down to $70 or so and this comes up...
I get 55 UTG so i limp. A few others limp and loose ass from 1st hand makes it $15 from the button. The big blind calls (he has about $500 in front of him) so i call to see if i cant flop a set and triple up. Flop comes A J 5...BINGO. Checks around...wtf great im not getting anything out of this. Turn comes 9...BB bets out $25 and i push in my last $55 when the button makes it $150 to isolate and the BB folds. Button shows AJ and thought he trapped lol thanks buddy and im back up to $170 or so.
Ok here is the key hand to the entire night...
I get AK off in mp with two limpers in front of me i make it $17 to go. Loose guy from previous hand above calls and UTG limper makes it $47 total. Hmmmmm a limp reraise. I narrow down to POSSIBLY a big pair but he's not that good so i flat call not wanting to risk it on just a coin flip just yet. I elect to flat call and re-evaluate after the flop. Button calls too. Flop comes A high with 2 spades. Button boy leads out $75 and original limp raiser clown thinks about it for 10 seconds or so and flat calls...now i KNOW im 100% ahead here. I insta shove for $50 more. Loose boy insta mucks his hand and UTG guy regretfully throws in the $50 and flips QJ spades..WTF? So now i need to doge a spade. Wouldnt you know it turns his fucking flush and i about flip the fucking table over. Monkey jumps up and screams SHIP IT!!! But wait i have a redraw...BAM fucking 10 of spades on the river and i quietly sit back down and scoop the $350+ pot without saying a word...because im better than that.
I go smoke and tell pimp the good news of me actually WINNING at greektown and not getting bad beated to hell. I sit back down flop a set with 33 and get paid off a little bit and am up to a $450 or so stack.
Next hand in question i pick up 10s UTG and make it $15 to go. 2 callers and short stack guy shoves for $50...1 players shoves for $45 and another guy FLAT CALLS (just sat down with $100 stack and first hand he's played so no reads) and now i have a big decision to make. My first instinct is to isolate and get it all in so we can see all 5 cards...which prolly was the right decision BUT i elected to call the $50 and see what the flop brings and maybe save myself $50 if overcards hit. Flop comes 444 and homeboy shoves for his last $50 and i IMMEDIATELY know im beat but the pot is already about $300 so getting 6:1 on my money i regretfully push in the $50 to see him with AA and drawing to 2 outs...BLA i hate pot odds. Turn is K river BAM 10. My first suckout in the past 4 months of going to greektown and might i say it feels FUCKING GREAT. I bought the guy a drink and apologized cause i hate that shit when it happens to me.
Last hand in question was me being a fucktard and straddled for $4. Tighter guy makes it $14 and it folds to me. I look down at AJ suited and elect to call and see where it goes. Flop A K 3. He leads $30 at it and i call to re-evaluate on the turn. Turn was blank...he bets $50 and this is where i had a brainfart. 100% beat that bet should tell me but im stupid and elected to call because i thought he might be pulling a move on me when he wasnt capable of doing so lol. River blanks and we both check and he shows AQ. I got up and left 2 hands later after that hand as i was gettin tired and shit.
So all in all my luck definitely changed tonight not good enough to hit the $80K bad beat jackpot but good enough to take $375 or so profit out of there. DEFINITELY feels good to book a live winning session with the way shit has been going lately for me. Anyways off to bed now as i have to get some sleep so i can be ready to take down the KZOO tourney tomorrow night. I should have a full tourney report on that sometime sunday or monday.

Monday's results
Ok so heres my first daily update since i started the blog. Tonight after we got our ass kicked in my hockey game i came home and decided to fire up some $3/$6 limit on cake and play the DFP TLB tourney which was pot limit omaha. I have a pretty decent amount of knowledge with PLO so i figured i had a pretty decent edge in the tourney. Well all went well in that for a while and had the chip lead with 5 left until 2 key hands were my demise and i ended up 5th for no money. I will NOT talk about those two hands even though they were absolutely terrible plays made by one person...who doesnt even post or make any contributions to the forums.
Anyways while i was playing in the DFP tourney i also had a $5.50 9 man sng going and two tables of $3/$6 limit. Ended up losing a gigantic hand in the $5.50 sng to come in 3rd with AJ losing to KQ...who called my allin preflop which was 80% of his stack. Blah $3.50 profit does even make it worthwhile...even though it's still a cash and the neverbeg bankroll is still increasing.
Not really any interesting hands i came across in 3/6 limit really. I was up about $200+ at one point but ended up taking some 3 outers on the river and some of my draws weren't quite hitting. Still ended up being a good session and ill take it. One thing im going to start doing is using checkyourbets.com and keep track of my sessions daily on cake and post em on here too since pokertracker wont ever accept cake.
So heres the totals for my sessions
Current Running Totals:
Neverbeg Stake:$125.50
Cake Bankroll:$905.04
Rakeback:$54.34

Attempting a comeback
Ok so heres my first post back as it's been quite rough for myself in the poker world ever since january. As of my return from vegas in january a lot has happened and none of it has been good. I went from having a 7K bankroll to nothing during the month of january and a little of february. I can blame this on anything i want to but in reality the truth is it was my fault. I kept playing my normal tourney schedule and higher buy-in tournies everynight even when i was on a downswing. Hell i think the last $100 i had in the account was to buy into the $100 super stack on AP for one last glimpse of hope. I will however say, despite popular belief, i had one loss in a ring game in that time span and it was of course me playing over my head at 5/10 NL where i had KK lose to AK all in pre for a 3.6K pot. Does it suck? yeah. Could i of beat that game? no doubt in my mind. But in reality none of this really matters anymore.
I took a little break from playing after this after my girlfriend, at the time, made me realize that a HUGE part of my life was poker and i wasn't prepared for the swings emotionally as it effected my life and my mood. Sure i was happy when i was winning but i also got very depressed when i lost.
Me and pimp decided to take another shot at a joint bankroll on Cake Poker but after running it up fairly quickly...everything soon fell apart and we lost it all.
So up to date i am currently running a sng stake on neverbeg.com for someone and am doing pretty well for now. The link to that is http://forum.neverbeg.com/showthread.php?t=115103 and i keep it updated with every tourney i play. It all started with $18 and turned it to where it's at today.
Also saturday while i was at work i decided to enter the 1 gold chip $2K giveaway on Cake Poker with 150 entrants and a $520 first prize. I ran quite well in the first hour. I tripled up on the 2nd hand with AQ vs. Q 10 vs. 10 3 on a Q xx flop...yeah dont ask about 10 3 lol. Quickly we were down to 30 players and i had a 40K stack with the closest person to me having 15K. Lost a few coin flips but made the final table 2nd in chips. I had to leave work for a hockey game so i posted on Donkeyfishpoker.com to have someone take over and RyllFsh said he was up for the task. I told him id give him a fair cut if he took it down. I came back from hockey to see that i had $520 in my account and he definitely was up for the task of taking it down. So after i sent him $150, which i thought was a decent cut, i was left with about $370 or so and am going to try to roll with that.
So from now on i will be updating as much as i can on how i am doing and how my days are going and what not. I just decided to get back on the blog train today so i dont have the specifics of how i did the past few days but it was up the first day about $150 and down the 2nd day about $180 or so cause of every river playing $1/$2 PLO. Anyways today i started off playing some $5/$10 limit on cake and people were paying me off with the nuts EVERY hand and after an hour of play i ended up +$450 or so with the account ending up resting at $757.94. So all in all it was a pretty good day so far. I will be playing mostly limit games with some PLO on cake but it will be strictly cash and MAYBE some of their guaranteed tournies, every other tourney sucks ass on that site.
So anyways sorry for the long post but it's been a while and i had a lot to say. Anything else you can find me on donkeyfishpoker.com or hit me up on AIM or shoot an email to msudu19@teamdonkament.com

It's been a long time coming
So i feel as if i've kind of neglected the blog and maybe that's why i've seem to have fallen off lately, i actually have put up some fairly nice scores but other than a $ 600 check from pokerstars have nothing to show for it. I find it hard now to play for both my self on stars and my backer everywhere else, it's hard to have 4 sites open at once and it kind of gives me a headache at times and the headaches tend to tilt me for some reason. The past couple days it seems like my game has gone back to what it was, and lately more consistent finishes. Now more and more often i'll need to blog to keep me motivated the WSOP is right around the corner and that should be motivation enough, my goal was 5 wsop events, we'll see how much i actually get. I can't wait for the summer, i love playing during the summer. Without further adue, i think im going to start turning the blog into a weekly finishes thing, to show how much more consistent with cashes im getting, but i will be updating IF AND WHEN i hit something big.

February is a WHOOOOOLE new month
So to start off February right ill try to start posting daily on this thing...and i am going to get motivated and setup the website very very very soon now that work is slowing down.
Well i kinda snuck outta work early so i could get down there to play some cash before i had to wait in line for an hour to register for the tourney. Get down there and fucking valet is full and it stays full even after i drove around the block 9 times...which never usually happens. So parking garage it was.
There was a big list for the $50min $100 max $1/$2NL game but there was an open seat at the $200max table...only difference is the play is a lot better at the $200 game. So i sat down there. First hand i pick up Ah3h and end up floppin top pair with nut flush draw. Turn the nut flush and take down a $50 pot or so. Fourth hand or so i pick up 10's in the cutoff and it's folded around me to. So raisy daisy her on up to $12...button folds and small blind folds. Big blind reraises to $35 total. Now im not einstein here but im pretty suuure he has A's or K's here lol. But im not folding to $25 cause if i hit rack em up cause im doubling up. Well wouldnt you know it flop comes J 10 3. He IMMEDIATELY leads out $70 and i dont even waste a second and blurt out all in. Well when he insta calls i about shit my pants in fear of j's but he had K's. He also turned the flush draw and my set held for once. After playin for about 45 min it was time to get in line for the tourney. But im on a freeroll cause im up $250 already. Ended up playin a little roullette for a little bit and won $75 there too.
The Greektown Tourney is a very horrible structured tourney. I would never play this in a million yars if we had another tourney anywhere near me to play lol. The payouts are terribly top heavy and the blinds go up every 20 min. pretty much doubling every level. I wont go into great depths but i played like myself 2 months ago and destroyed it. Took a few beats here and there but come final table i was in decent shape with a mid stack. I liked my chances and another kid who was a really good player too but everyone else sucked my ass. Chip leader of the tourney was absolutely terrible calling EVERY single hand no matter what the raise was preflop pretty much. But if he lost one pot he was short stacked so his play was terrible. We get down 8 handed and im in about 5th chip stack and pick up AsKs UTG with 27K left with blinds at 2K/4K...needless to say i shove all in and the chip leader insta calls 1/2 of his stack. Everyone else folds and he goes i dont have much and flips over 10d9d. Now i dont mind the call but for 1/2 your stack to become a normal stack when youre the chip leader is just a fucking terrible play especially with 6 players left to act behind him. Well he flops a 10 and turns a 9 and it's gg me and i played for 4 hours for $100 profit. Same kid went on to win the tourney for $2K. but 3 handed this kid picked up AA 3 times in 6 hands. Now that is fucking absurd.
So tonight i decide to play the $8k and $5r. The $5r was absolutely terrible as i won one single pot the whole tourney. I flopped the nuts and got it all in with the guys two pair and it held but that was during rebuy period. After break i come back to having a stack of 7.5K. There is a monster stack sittin 2 seats to my right who starts playing very very LAG. Raising my blinds is something i dont put up with and he did it 3 times in a row. The 4th time he raises my blind i have AJ off and just shove over the top of his 3x raise KNOWING my hand is 100% good and he's drawing to either 3 outs or 6 outs and im willing to take that chance knowing if he has KQ or something he cant call. Well he tanks for a minute then calls with A 5 off and hits his 5 on the river gg me.
Onto the $8K i ran this tourney soooooo good and i am very pleased with my 5th place finish for $545 profit. Was pretty short right on the bubble and doubled up a few times to get enough chips so i could "rock the bubble". And i did so with a huge smile on my face cause i love it. Got pot committed into calling 2 all ins but my cards were live and i didnt get any luck so i took a little hit to my stack but held in there to get to the final table. Got pretty damn card dead at the Final Table and was sittin back lettin them knock each other out. 3rd hand of 5 handed i pick up QQ UTG i shove for my last 28K wit blinds at 1500/3000. Big blind (Belandator) calls 30-40% of his stack with 22. Catches runner runner for the wheel and gg me. Now i talked to him and he tried to justify his call saying that i could of very well had AJ-AK and that he was willing to take that shot. From that standpoint risking THAT many chips 5 handed is a very -EV situation in the long run in my opinion. You are 75% of the time drawing to 2 outs or a 4 card straight and it's not worth the risk to end up short stacked in the tourney that late in the game. Why not wait for a better spot and let the small pocket pair go. Anyways he sucked out 4 times to get to that position and went on to take the tourney down. MUST BE NICE to run that lucky.

Sorry for the absence
Sorry for anyone who actually reads this thing but ive been a little busy and havent had time to post as of late. So ill kind of recap what has been going on with me since my last post and after the trip from vegas.
Ever since I got back from vegas i have been running absolutely terrible. I have not made a single final table since i got back. I have cashed in a few tournies here and there but for the most part it's been me drawing thin on bankroll now since my run has been so dry. I cashed in two pokerstars tournies 2 nights ago but ran thin and didnt get to the FT. Apparently lee jones liked me that night and pretty much every hand held when i was ahead or a coin flip. I have been playing live tournies at Greektown Casino once a week or so and have also been running terrible there too. It's just very frustrating when you go from absolutely killing a site to not cashing in a single tourney you play for a month straight.
So anyways i have decided to step down in tourney buy-ins a night until i can play out of this slump. I am however going to concentrate strictly on tournies once again and grind out sng's to boost the bankroll from the tourney buy-in hits. There apparently are a lot of leaks in my game and im gonna have to go through a bunch of tourney histories and have my good friends ryanj9352, pimpjzh and RandALLin take a look at this shit for me because it's almost disheartening to the point where i dont even feel like playing anymore.
Send me some uplifting emails please it'd be greatly appreciated.

Pimp Recalls Vegas trip
Ok so first off i better tell you guys bout all the fun we had in Vegas, or they since i live here.
Day 1: Simple enough me and cody go play at MGM cause he's the only one who gets here, he gets stacked i get stacked GG us playing 1/2
Day 2: This is where it gets good , we pick up mike and krod from the airport and head to the venetian, everybody sits in a 1/2 game except me, i wait on the 2/5 list. Before i even sit down it looks like krod has nearly $ 450, i get seated at a must moved table it plays rather tight and i get moved to one of the main games, the only memorable pot is where i run my KK in aq on a Q high flop, i rake a near $ 500 pot, the last hand before i go to cash out i pick up AJ make it 25 to go and get 1 caller , flop come 10 2 j with 2 spades , i bet out 40 guy insta shoves, theres no way he has a big pp or he'd have raised preflop, so i call, hes on an open ended straight flush draw, and bangs it in there in a $ 500 pot, i cash out up $ 350 to check on everyone else, krod cashes out up $ 700 cody up $ 800 and mike up $ 200 , we take nearly 2k out of the venetian in profit. We then go to the Sahara to play the 11 pm tourny , Cody hits 2 outers on everyone and makes the final table, along with me i bust 8th he rejects a chop with 6 left and he's chip leader, he busts in 6th funny how karma works.
Day 3: New years eve, we go play at MGM i sit at the table and just keep ordering me and mikey drink after drink, krod plays 2-5 everyone else sits 1/2 including me, mike gets stacked when his flopped top sets loses to turned set, then i get piss drunk and donk off my $ 200, cody cashes out up $ 100 , krod down $ 100 i think and ryan breaks even. We then head downtown for the festivities, everyone gets some alchy before we do anything and we go to dinner, by the time dinners over mike is threatening everyone to shove his plastic boot that was a souvenir cup up everyones asses or anyone who came near him, then we go to Binions and play 1/2 all sit at the same table i double up and call it good, krod loses some, cody loses 200 and ryan ends up even. We all head out to the festivities except cody who refuses to leave the 1/2 game whatever. We get out to the festivities when a random girl walks up to ryan talks to him for 2 mins and proceeds to start making out with him. Soon it hits midnight cody is nowhere to be seen, whatever. We then head into binions where krod and ryan decide to get a room even though we decided to stay out all night. They go to bed and me and cody play the Binions 2 am tourny. Cody is plowed and busts out in like 30 mins, i last a little longer blinds are 100/200, some chick limps, im on the button with 10's i decide to make it 1000, it folds to her and she shoves, i call and she's ot ace 10 off suit, ace flops yeeehawww. We head to Denny's and proceed to get there about 5:30 i guess this is where day 4 starts.
Day 4: While waiting for out food at denny's cody starts to fall asleep , this is when i decide to take cody to my house and let him sleep cause god knows if he falls asleep in a casino i'll have to drive him home anyways cause they'll kick him out. So we drop cody off and head down to Venetian where we see Vanessa Selbst and Amir Vahedi playing 2/5 NL at 7 am , i decided not to sit. We walk into Caesars and i decide to play some 1/2 and waste some time till ryan and krod decide to join us. I buy in for $ 300 and proceed to run it up to $ 600 in a hour playing while the drunks... very profitable i say ok thats good enough and join mike in the sportsbook for some college football watching. I start to daze and decided imma fall asleep so i get up and try to find a starbucks, i end up in the bellagio and pay $ 7 for this horrid drink drink 10% of it and throw it away and head back to caesars by then krod and ryan are on their way. When they get there i drive jackie and sarah home and head home to take a quick shower and pick up cody. We head over to the venetian while krod and ryan play at caesars. They soon join us and we proceed to run like crap, i think everyone but me got stacked. We watch the USC Michy game and finally call it a night around like 10pm.Krod procceds to play the $ 20 superstack on ap and win it that night for $600 when we get home.
Day 5: we play the Caesars noon tournament and nobody does jack shit cody makes sure to outlast all of us, then proceed to shove in blind. He plays good obviously. i think we all go play at the venetian expect me and mike who go watch the Wake/ Louisville in the sportsbook and get tanked. krod runs up to $ 200 in profit playing 2/5 and cody gets stacked some more, and ryan finally posts a losing session after flush over flush. Dutchess from ap comes down and meets the fellas, and plays some 1/2 she won 300 on the night. Krod proceeds to play the venetetians nightly tournament and busts out with 3 tables left. By then me and mikey are really tanked and ready for the strip club at about 1 am. We get there and its pretty packed with an hour its pretty empty , we proceed to buy lap dances. After everyong gets a round of dances me krod and ryan go get $ 100 in 1's to sit at the stage and proceed to prop bet on who can flick them the furthest on stage. Everyone gets a couple more dances and the dancers are loving us at this point, and were getting asked alot more frequently if we want dances, finally around 4:30 i have $ 20 in 1's left and a girl who i got a dance from comes on stage, i say screw it when she's done and make the money rain all over the ground. We proceed to leave head to my house so ryan can grab his stuff and i take him to the airport for his 6:40 flight, he gets there bout 5:45 am.
Day 6: We wake up and take mike down to the airport for his early night flight and head down to caesars to play the 7pm tourny, cody sits down at 1/2 and gets stacked in like 10 mins. Then 1st hand of the tournment im all in and all out with a flush a straight draw vs a donkey who called a preflop raise with 2 8 off suit. We head to my house so i can play the 9k on ap and leave krod to play the tourny. He texts me and tells me brandon cantu is sitting to his left, oh wait cantu's playing the 9k on ap at the same time too... uhhhh yea that can't be him online then, im glad he gets paid to play on their site and lets his friends play for him. Krod busts out and i go pick him up we then just call it a night.
Day 6: I bid adeiu to Krod and take him to the airport for his morning flight myself and cody head over to sahara to cash out his $ 25 chip that i gave him from roulette from a couple nights prior. I convince him to put it all on 1 hand of blackjack and he tells me how he wants to put it on 9 on the roulette wheel, i win the argument and he puts in on the blackjack hand he gets dealt 19 the dealer hits for 20 GG $ 25 chip, we then run over to the roulette wheel to see what number would have hit and it lands on 9 cody proceeds to scream,moan and groan while everyone around watches. He then proceeds to call 3 people to tell them the story and i take him to the airport and so goes the Vegas trip.
Next blog i'll tell my goals for 2007
Day 1: Simple enough me and cody go play at MGM cause he's the only one who gets here, he gets stacked i get stacked GG us playing 1/2
Day 2: This is where it gets good , we pick up mike and krod from the airport and head to the venetian, everybody sits in a 1/2 game except me, i wait on the 2/5 list. Before i even sit down it looks like krod has nearly $ 450, i get seated at a must moved table it plays rather tight and i get moved to one of the main games, the only memorable pot is where i run my KK in aq on a Q high flop, i rake a near $ 500 pot, the last hand before i go to cash out i pick up AJ make it 25 to go and get 1 caller , flop come 10 2 j with 2 spades , i bet out 40 guy insta shoves, theres no way he has a big pp or he'd have raised preflop, so i call, hes on an open ended straight flush draw, and bangs it in there in a $ 500 pot, i cash out up $ 350 to check on everyone else, krod cashes out up $ 700 cody up $ 800 and mike up $ 200 , we take nearly 2k out of the venetian in profit. We then go to the Sahara to play the 11 pm tourny , Cody hits 2 outers on everyone and makes the final table, along with me i bust 8th he rejects a chop with 6 left and he's chip leader, he busts in 6th funny how karma works.
Day 3: New years eve, we go play at MGM i sit at the table and just keep ordering me and mikey drink after drink, krod plays 2-5 everyone else sits 1/2 including me, mike gets stacked when his flopped top sets loses to turned set, then i get piss drunk and donk off my $ 200, cody cashes out up $ 100 , krod down $ 100 i think and ryan breaks even. We then head downtown for the festivities, everyone gets some alchy before we do anything and we go to dinner, by the time dinners over mike is threatening everyone to shove his plastic boot that was a souvenir cup up everyones asses or anyone who came near him, then we go to Binions and play 1/2 all sit at the same table i double up and call it good, krod loses some, cody loses 200 and ryan ends up even. We all head out to the festivities except cody who refuses to leave the 1/2 game whatever. We get out to the festivities when a random girl walks up to ryan talks to him for 2 mins and proceeds to start making out with him. Soon it hits midnight cody is nowhere to be seen, whatever. We then head into binions where krod and ryan decide to get a room even though we decided to stay out all night. They go to bed and me and cody play the Binions 2 am tourny. Cody is plowed and busts out in like 30 mins, i last a little longer blinds are 100/200, some chick limps, im on the button with 10's i decide to make it 1000, it folds to her and she shoves, i call and she's ot ace 10 off suit, ace flops yeeehawww. We head to Denny's and proceed to get there about 5:30 i guess this is where day 4 starts.
Day 4: While waiting for out food at denny's cody starts to fall asleep , this is when i decide to take cody to my house and let him sleep cause god knows if he falls asleep in a casino i'll have to drive him home anyways cause they'll kick him out. So we drop cody off and head down to Venetian where we see Vanessa Selbst and Amir Vahedi playing 2/5 NL at 7 am , i decided not to sit. We walk into Caesars and i decide to play some 1/2 and waste some time till ryan and krod decide to join us. I buy in for $ 300 and proceed to run it up to $ 600 in a hour playing while the drunks... very profitable i say ok thats good enough and join mike in the sportsbook for some college football watching. I start to daze and decided imma fall asleep so i get up and try to find a starbucks, i end up in the bellagio and pay $ 7 for this horrid drink drink 10% of it and throw it away and head back to caesars by then krod and ryan are on their way. When they get there i drive jackie and sarah home and head home to take a quick shower and pick up cody. We head over to the venetian while krod and ryan play at caesars. They soon join us and we proceed to run like crap, i think everyone but me got stacked. We watch the USC Michy game and finally call it a night around like 10pm.Krod procceds to play the $ 20 superstack on ap and win it that night for $600 when we get home.
Day 5: we play the Caesars noon tournament and nobody does jack shit cody makes sure to outlast all of us, then proceed to shove in blind. He plays good obviously. i think we all go play at the venetian expect me and mike who go watch the Wake/ Louisville in the sportsbook and get tanked. krod runs up to $ 200 in profit playing 2/5 and cody gets stacked some more, and ryan finally posts a losing session after flush over flush.
