Another Day Another Dollar $$$

Well today after I woke up I had $145 to start the day, this after cashing out $260 the day before. Right before I went to sleep I drooped like $50 bucks so I felt kind of stupid for that. I was a little drunk (5 tall boyz) and played outside my bankroll for a bit, never good. I was determined to get that money back. Though out the day I played a few multi table tourneys but could not get anything going. I played a few cash tables and was up a bit I believe but I may be wrong, at the very least I was even. The money I made today came purely from sit and goes. I joined and won a $10, thirty person tourney for $120 and also won a $10, ten person tourney as well. I currently have $247 in my bankroll making my daily profit $102. In the morning I plan on cashing out another $100, bringing my total to $350 in cashouts. That off course will still leave me with $147 for my bankroll. This all comes from the $40 deposit I made 2 weeks ago. Here are some pics from the tourneys I won.

Also when I started playing on c.d poker my sit and go stats were horrible. This was due to losing the first few I played. Once you start like that its difficult to come back, but I'm proud to say I did just that. I have enclosed my chart for my sit and go play as of the date notice the huge upswing.

See you all later and wish me luck, my goal is to keep a bankroll and make $700 a month profit!

Another top finish!

Well from the last post you can see im playing on cd poker (they gave free money) anyway I deposited $40 bucks and thats how I won in the last post. In this post I will talk about the $5 dollar rebuy tourney I joined. It was actually $2900 for first. I busted 8th making me $260 or something, but what I hate is that with a little luck I would have won first in both and be like 5k richer. Instead im cashing out $210, not bad cuz i leave $200 behind and I only deposited $40.

Anyway super dissapointed!!!

good luck all

Update

I wtite this with a heavy hand..... I busted in 11th. One before the final table. Buddy raised allin on the sb and I was on the bb with 8s. I had to call. He had k4 offsuit. I had him crushed 3-1. Flop was kqq I LOSE AGAIN TO A HORRIBLE BAD BEAT!

Passing the time

Well today when I woke up I had slightly less then I had started with the day before. As a result I had to stick to small buy in tourneys. I only had $35 but there was this really juicy $5 tourney with a huge prize pool. So I joined it, but so did 1440 other players. As I write this blog there are 42 players left im in 17th. First prize is $1500 so wish me luck. I will keep you all posted. WOOOO I jsut doubled up and now im in 5th position with over 100k!

By the way my name on cd poker is summerdeal

A month later....

Well Hi everybody. Its been a full month since my last blog and thats mostly because I have really not played much. I decided to put $40 bucks online tonight though and figured id blog about it. I came home from work at about 1:30 am and decided to join the $2 rebuy tourney that was about to start in ten minutes. The tourney started off amazing and I had about 7k after like 15 mins into it. After the first hour I had managed to bring it up to about 9k, so I did the add on bringing me up to 11k to start the second hour. About 10 mins into the second hour I get deuces and I limp as well as another person, The guy in the cut off position raises it to 1200. I call and so does buddy. flop is queen,trey,DEUCE! amazingly enough buddy goes allin and the cut off raises!. They flip over queen jack, and kings. Im huge the only way to lose is a king. The pot is a moster for almost 40k THE RIVER IS A KING AND I LOSE THE TOURNEY!

I LOVE THIS GAME!

wow

I have just read my own post as of last, wow I should have another drink!

We need to get back to basics!

Man I had an Epiphany, I need to get back to basics and before that always meant tghting up on my nl hold em game. Well folds I don't know why I have neglected my roots for SO long, and by my roots I mean FIXED LIMIT HOLDEM. Now that think about it, it was always there right in front of my face, like a overweight prostitute in a brothel that charges $500 a pop!

So What I have done is switching my whole play holy to fixed limit, why because for many reasons.

The problem being when I had this bright idea I was really drunk, so I will not be able to come up with the many reasons I had previously stated in the last paragraph.

So I will report about that shit later as of now I will put it to test with my 2 dollar bankroll!!

Steak Me In Baby!

So last we spoke I was in a points tourney as I had no money online. 400 plus players joined and I was fortunate to win 6th. The last hand (pic above) the one I got knocked out with was absolutely horrible and still today have a hard time believing that anyone that has made a final table would make this call! But I guess its a points tourney and even a blind squirrel can find a nut! After all my hard work I made 2 bucks for all my trouble.

When I got home I got home from work at like 2 in the morning, I decided to join a .60 cent tourney. First place was 2 bucks HEY I COULD DOUBLE MY BANKROLL!!

I did manage to get first in that tourney so now my bankroll was up to 4 bucks not bad from nothing.

Wile I was playing a friend of mine named Mike (not to be confused by the other Mike I have bloged about, from now on he will be named "young Mike") asked me If I would like him to stake me into a "big tourney" I naturally said sure and he deposited 100 on to party poker and provided me with his password.

When I logged into party there was no good tourneys going. I decided to play a $22 sit and go. I to 5th and played solid the whole time. In one particular hand I had 20 outs and missed, had I hit I'm sure this blog would be going in a different direction!

Well nothing was going on tourney wise so I joined a $50 cash table and watched a few hands. I noticed one guy in particular raising every hand so after a bit of this I decided to call with Jack king. The flop was king and 2 under cards of no significance. Naturally I check to the aggressive raiser. He offcourse bets and I promptly check raise him. Being the donkey he is he calls. I go allin on the turn he calls (with third pair) and I win a $90 hand.

Nice start but 2 hands later I get ak. I make it 3 bucks preflop and get 2 callers, one of them being the donkey of earlier. The flop is 66ace and buddy bets, donkey calls and I raise, they both flat call. The turn is a brick and I push. Buddy had a weak ace but the fucking donkey actually had 6-8 offsuit for trips (who calls 6 times the bb with 6-8?) any way I lost a big pot and am back down to $55

Not 2 hands later I get ak again. I make it 2.50 and get 2 callers once more one of them the donkey. Flop is ace 9 7 everyone checks to me and I bet. Then something interesting I get check raised and not by the donkey in question by a player that has been solid so far. He only raised me 4 bucks so I had to call. The turn was a brick and he insta pushes. I think for a bit, I think he has 2 pair or possibly a set. The only thing I'm beating is a weaker ace or a flush draw. I want to fold. I tell Mike (hes watching) I say "I'm gonna fold" hes like "naww hes bluffing call him" I really don't want to but its Mike's money. So I call and he shows me a set of 7s. Bang Im broke once more.

I played well with the exception of the last hand and I would have folded that had I not been told to call. Mike wants me to play "big tourneys" and I agree. Next time we will stick to that strategy! I am playing a $1 freezeout tourney right now on titan poker with my new found wealth my $4 I know I know "but Jamie is that not outside your bankroll" well yes it is but when your bankroll is $4 a freeroll is outside it!!

See ya all later

Whats happening now

Well I have not played in a few weeks as I have not had any money to deposit. I will have to deposit pretty soon as I need the extra income from the donkeys on the tables.

I did however deal in a charity poker event held at the Delta. It was for the Ronald MacDonald House, I think that is a good event to support as well as I get like $17.50 per hour. The tournament had 100 players and the buy in fee was $150 with re buys for the first hour. At around the 1.5 hour mark My table was broken up, So I wondered over to the other gambling room they had set up. They had black jack, roulette, poker vs dealer and crown and anchor. They were also waiting for 6 players to start a 1-2 nl cash game. I was lucky enough to be standing there when they needed a dealer and was sent to tell Vic (the owner of Fullhouse Rentals) Vic in turn asked Me and another guy who wanted to deal it. Well I spoke up quickly as I know the kind of tips you can make in a cash game.

I started dealing the cash game. I quickly wished that Vic would pay me now and let me in this juicy game as I saw a guy call 75 on the river with queen high! No worries as I was making a good hourly wage plus now tips the odd hand. All and all I really enjoyed myself and hope to deal in many more functions coming up.

So online however I'm broke so today I decided to join a points tourney on titan poker as I still have lots of points. All though 400 plus players joined (all for the first prize of $12) I was in first after the first break by 11k I had 36k witch has to be some kind of record considering you only start with 1500 but they are donkeys and I swear are just giving there chips away.

If i make it to 50th I make 12 cents and currently there are only 100 players left and I'm still in first by about 8k

So wish me luck and I will keep ya posted on how I did hey maybe I can win this thing and make some money from nothing.

All ya need is a chip and a chair.....

Whats new!

Haven't really been playing much lately, but when I do I am not very focused and cannot seem to win. I managed to lose the little money I won last we spoke as well as about $60 more I have gotten in transfers from Mike. I will really focus on these next few tourneys, I could use the money.... I have joined a $5 multi table tourney with 160 players, I did not notice that it was a 1 rebuy and 1 addon. That sucks as I dont have enough left over to rebuy or addon. I also joined a 3 dollar 90 person ko tourney. If I were to lose both of these tourneys I have enough money left over to pay for 2 more $3 ko tourneys. Wish me luck guys, as I am sure it will come in handy!

one win

Yesterday I logged online and found that Mike was playing poker on fulltilt. I haven't played for a wile and that's usually when I play best, so I asked him to send my $5 and he did. I already owed him $25 so i agreed to pay him all if I won. I joined a 3.30 nl 90 person KO tourney. I won it and was able to send him his money. After that life intervened and I had to work, after work I didn't really feel like playing but lost $10 anyway. I logged out. Today I stared playing but I don't feel it today either, to much stuff on my mind. So after I am done this tourney I will quit for the day before i dwindle my small new found wealth to nothing!

Heres some pics of my win yesterday

see you on the felt!

I BEAT A PRO PLAYER!

Today I broke down and made another $50 deposit on Full tilt Poker. I joined a $10 multi table tourney with a pro player in it by the name of Scott Fischman. I didn't really beat him as it was not me that knocked him out of the tourney but I did outlast him. As well as that tourney I joined a $3 90 person KO tourney. I placed 2Nd and did pretty well all though I sucked out horribly 2 times but on the other side buddy at the end did the same to me. All together I put $50 onto the site today and will end my session with $73

Hopefully I can continue my winning ways here's some pics of the tourney I placed in.

See you on the felt!

LOSE LOSE LOSE LOSE LOSE!!!

I have had every bad beat you can get, and made every bad call you can think of! I cant win no matter what I do. I put my money in as a fav most of the time and yet I get horrible results.

I need a break from poker!! Then make a new strategy........ or fuck it I may as well play bingo!

POKER PRODIGY PERHAPS?

No people those are not duplicate photos of last night, but they look familiar don't they? Mike made it to another final table, to another heads up match AND FINALLY TO ANOTHER WIN!

Some people would say "beginners luck" for the first tourney, but to win 2 in 2 nights is exceptional and cannot be explained by luck. So what do we got left? SKILL yep Mike turns out to be a solid player, and so far for his efforts has managed to cash out $150 plus leave his initial $50 investment online.

So I ask your all poker prodigy or not? ONLY TIME WILL TELL !

see you on the felt!

Mike makin his own money!!

OK there are three pictures above me. The one directly above is of Mikey getting to heads up out of 196 players. As you can see he has a small chip stack and is in trouble as hes out 4-1

The second pic is of Mikes awesome heads up play, Now hes in the drivers seat.

And finally the third is of Mikey actually taken down 1st place!!!

When Mike first gave me the money for poker it was for a live event. Once that fell through we decided to throw $50 online to make money 50-50 id play and HE stake.

I decided to make a new account under my moms boyfriends name (james_austin316) in order to take advantage of the referral and first time deposit bonuses adding up to $100 over both accounts. I did that and began playing and actually already had a 4th place finish and was off to a nice start.

The other night Mike messaged me saying he would like to play, lucky for him I had made another account and I still had my original account. So i transferred him a few bucks and let him play.

The next day I woke up and found that he had lost but that was not to bad as he only had $10 and that's hard to win from! Later in the day he asked me to play again so I transferred I'm another $20

AND A STAR WAS BORN!!!!!!

Mike beat almost 200 people to get 1st place. Heads up he played nothing short of brilliant...

We decided to split our money now, mike will take most leaving me with $40 and 70 % of the winnings of a token he won. Plus he has his own account with $80 in it.

After it is all said and done we have done well for ourselves and mike has proven to not just be your average beginner!

See you on the felt!

Makin Mike Money $$$$$$$

Well I was at work my girlfriend logged into poker and started playing a $2 tourney. She happened to log into the new account I had created for Mike and I with his $50 stake. My girlfriend is a good player and extremely tight so u can usually count on her to get you through the boring first part of the tourneys.

(PICTURES OF THE FINAL TABLE AND THE FINAL RESULT UP TOP!!!)

She played the first hour and then went to bed, so I took over. Out of 275 ppl I finished in 4th place making like $50 or something around there!! Not a bad start for wee Mike. So from the original deposit of $50 we now have $97.

I hope to keep up the good play so I can make a nice cash out for the both of us soon!

See you on the felt!!

Bad news, May turn into good news!

Well I was going to buy my ticket into the poker tourney yesterday, but when I was about to pay it I was informed it was 10k in "prizes" not money. All though the prizes look good (first is a trip to somewhere, poker tables....) I would not be able to travel and besides getting staked into the tourney, how would we split things. I don't think Mike and I would be going to the camon islands ya know what I'm saying.....

So Mike and I decided to put $50 online and I will give him $50 back. Also I made it so we get $75 in bonus money. I referred "james" from my fulltilt poker account and made a account. Then I got James to make a deposit with the money. As a result I get $25 and the new account gets $25 as well at the 100% first time deposit bonus all new accounts get!

The $25 will be released into both accounts when "james" account reaches 500 ftp points. In case you don't know "ftp" points are points you get from the poker site for each raked hand your involved in.

So all though I wont be playing in the live event and I was rather excited about that. Mike and I still have the potential to make some good money with any luck. So far I'm up $1 but I have only played 3 sit and goes, still being in one.

Good luck me!!

See you on the felt!

Live event

Well as of late I have been playing solid poker, with little profit to show for it though. I have finished in the top ten 13 times since I switched to fulltilt. Sounds way better then it looks though as I have only one first place win, 2 second place wins, 2 third place wins and get this 9 wins from 4th -9th. So you can see the problem, all though I am winning I am not placing in the top 3 and tourneys are "top heavy" by nature. So here I am, even for the month.

Something exciting is gonna happen in Aug though. I will be playing a live tourney (only my second big live tourney). Its for the Ronald McDonald Charity. The event will be at the Dela and will have 150 players. The prize pool will be 10k. So the charity gets 5k of the prize pool money witch would usually bother me but get this. The first 100 tickets were sold to Ronald McDonald charity people who most likely are just playing for the charity. That means the field will be super soft. So I have no problem with the prize pool.

Also my buddy at work (thanks Mike I will make u proud) has agreed to stake me in. For the usual arrangement (he pays and if I win he gets half, if I lose he pays) So wish me luck and I will keep u posted on how and where I place!

See you on the felt!

4 final tables in 3 days?

Is it possible that I can make another final table? Im playing well.... Wish me luck first prize is $300 and I could use the money!!

Poker at alexs house

I have been playing well lately and it kind of payed off. Last night after I blogged I went on to place 3rd out of 240+ in a $3 tourney. That made my bankroll go from 8 bucks to $75 and that's what I like to see.

Now that I have a small roll and I don't have to worry about busting so much. I went to Alex's to hang out and play a little small buyin poker. I joined a $3 90 person tourney and lost (close to the money) so I joined another one as well as a $3 tourney with 270 ppl in it. I did not make the money in the 90 person tourney (close again 12th) but i did make the final table in the big tourney and busted in 8th when I took a calculated risk and went for it in a race situation losing.

I'm really happy with my play as of late. In the last 2 days I have made 2 final tables, so I'm close to the big money. Hopefully I will make top 2 soon so I can make a small cash out and pay my rogers bill with poker money.

As I am writing this I just busted from a $1 dollar tourney 110th out of 400 but in all honesty I was playing horribly aggressive for the last 15 mins as I think im all pokered out for the day!!

SEE YOU ON THE FELT

STILl GRINDING

Well tonight I joined 3x $3 90 person tourneys and a $1 tourney. In the $1 tourney I busted 230th out of 1150 but I played well and got sucked out on huge on the final hand.

In the $3 dollar ones I busted 20th, then 3 before the money and finally on the last buy in I kind of redeemed myself by squeaking into the final table all though I was on the small stack and had to push my first hand (55) I was up against jacks and failed to improve.

So as a result my bankroll is at $20 bucks!! its going down but not fast. Just the initial night was a huge let down since then I have done as good as can be expected.

Tomorow is my nieces birthday and I will be spending the day with family but when I return I plan on taking these donkeys to town!


See you on the felt!

Still grinding

Well I ended up losing both those tourneys in the last post, so i called it a night. At the end of that session I had lost half my bankroll ($25) so I had to regroup!

I had a session last night that went like this. I started with $25 and joined a few $3 90 person ko tourneys. I lost a few but made it to the final table on the last one knocking out 5-6 along the way and came out 6th for 9 bucks (first is like $72 I think) After all my struggling last night I ended up with the same as I started with.

So far I have had a losing session and a even session, so the only thing left is the wining session!

I joined "the Ferguson" its a $1 dollar tourney with a guarantee prize pool of 1k. Im doing fine in it so far in fact i quad ed up in the first 5 mins. I plan on also playing a few more of those knock out tourneys as well.

I will let u all know how I did tomorrow!

See you on the felt!

Since the last time

I have been meaning to blog more then I do but I keep getting busy, but anyway here I am again. Since the last time I blogged ALOT has happened. With the last deposit I actually did all right.
I almost got first (14th I think) in a nice sized tourney, it won me $60 but still a little disappointing as first was 1k. I cashed out $120 on my $50 dollar deposit. That left me with no money (bills again) up till tonight. I had to make a $50 deposit because like I have said before I cant make money if i don't have a bankroll. I had a few bad beats early, a set lost to runner runner flush all the money in on the flop and another one to a 3 outer, buddy hit on the turn after all the money was in. So I am playing well. Wile I write this there are 24 left out of 90 that joined in my $3 dollar tourney, as well at 87 left out of 225. OK I just busted in the $3 dollar tourney to some donkey that plays king jack like its the nuts but hey that's poker right!!! I HATE THAT EXPRESSION. I joined a $2 180 person tourney that just pooped up as well. I have $32 left in my bankroll assuming i don't win on either one of these tourneys. If that happens I will call it a night and play tomorrow. I hate it when I play well but have nothing to show for it at the end. BUT HEY THAT'S POKER! .........


SEE YA ON THE FELT

Rent Money

Hey folks, back again. Since the last post I lost the ten bucks I had left and did not play for a few days. My main problem is I don't have alot of money right now, and by "alot" I really mean none. I'm short on my rent and would like to pay it off, as well as catch up on my rogers bill.....
I cannot however make money without playing though, so that means making a deposit. I have managed to scrap $60 together and deposited it on fulltilt poker. I worked all night and now I'm home and relaxed so I have decided to play a few tourneys. I have joined 3 tourneys for a total for 8 bucks so wish me luck. If I lose these that's it for the night as I must win and a break would be best after that happening.

Gone Boke

Well since my last post I lost all my money on fulltilt. All in all it was not a bad run, I put on $50 and took out $200 so profit was $150 and I still have my initial investment.

So I decided not to play for a week, partially because I needed a rest but mostly because I smashed my computer during a drunken poker night...... Luckily for my my good buddy Stew lent my his computer, So thank your stew for your kindness if u are reading this (lol on what pc)

About 5 days ago now, I made a $50 deposit. Still playing on my original $50 and I like that idea.
Unfortunately nothing went as planed. The night I deposited I was up all night drinking jeiger meister and formatting my friends computer. It was about 6am when I made the deposit, right after I made the deposit I did another shot of jeiger. That made me sick, but I was in a few tourneys by then and was doing well. I tryed to tough it out but in the end the sickness won and I went to bed.

Actually I stayed up for the whole next day throwing up. I lost those tourneys though leaving me with $25

So yesterday I decided to give it a try. I woke up and started playing a tourney and a cash table.
Both small buyins, $10 cash table and a $2 dollar 18 person sit and go \. In the sit and go I had ak or aq I cant remember but I hit top pair and there was a flush draw on board so I pushed. What I clearly remember however is the guy called with king 3 of clubs for the draw. The turn was a 3 and the river was a 3 and he won with trips.

O well I'm still on the cash table, a few hands go buy and I limp in with 7-8 suited and flop trips. 77x Buddy bets into me and I raise him. He goes allin and I call. He turns over 66. Yes I think to myself he only has 2 outs. But as u already probably know, the turn was a 6 making him a boat.

So in the quest of bankroll preservation I leave and don't play for the day. When I get home I play 2, 18 person $2 sit and goes and get 1-2 so my bankroll was back up to $31

Well today when I wake up I play again, I lost 3 sit and goes and a bunch on the cash tables. The bottom line here was I was playing horribly and would not stop playing all my fault.

Now I find myself in this spot with $10 left. I decided to join a $2 multitable (busted during this post to a gutbuster) a $3 multitable (just started) and also a $2 18 person sit and go (doing fine 15 left) After the buyins im left with $3.31

I hope I can make some money off of this because I would hate to have to deposit again!!!

see you on the felt!!

Drunken Wednesday

indeed druken wednesdays, I would like to tell you more about drunken Wednesdays. Except I cannot remember. Jamie lost all his money - but that's what he gets for putting his money in as a favourite. I won $40 in a FPP tournament, ha ha ha and am now playing a $10 tournament. Much beer has been drank and thus we are drunk.

That is all.

Zak out.

Sunday Mothers Day Play!

As you can see in the pic, I am playing a $2 180 max tourney. As well as a $5 dollar multitable plus a .10-.25 cent cash table. So far my cash table winnings have paid for my tourney entry's (the $5 is a 1 rebuy 1 add on tourney) I was playing well but as I wrote this sentence I also blew my wad on aj (gotta stop that) and lost the $2 tourney. I will keep you posted on the other tourney, right now 68 left and I'm in 7th with a nice stack. First place is just over $400 so wish me luck!!

9th

They finally sucked out on me! and they did it 3 times in a row. I'm not even mad its 6:30 its mothers day and my old lady is gonna kill me. I won money anyway but I wanted to finish first. Good luck to sirbostwick, the player who told me about the site and took my seat when I was busted. To my credit the player who busted mE hit a 4 card flush......... I FUCKING HATE THAT!

I must admit that I'm somewhat impressed with my play but honestly disgusted as well. Last night and tonight I made key mistakes that cost me the final table busting 10th then 9th respectfully. On

the other hand I have made cash outs and both nights made good money.... SO why am I disgusted .

That's just me, I can get 1st place then be mad Cuz i didn't do it faster, better or with more finesse.

anyway happy mothers day!

FULLTILT

I was not going to post tonight but I decided to because I met a rather good player today in one of my tournaments and thought id post about the tourney. I have been drinking, always a good start. When I start mouthing off to one of the players that just beat me. Well i eventually challenge him to a heads up match, witch he accepts. Problem being he sits at a 3-6 table. I don't even have enough to sit down there (and starting to think maybe i don't want to!) so i ramble for a bit more telling him to look up his stats on www.sharkscope.com. Well he tells me that's a joke site. Get this HE WAS RIGHT!!! http://officialpokerrankings.com is the site. Way more detailed and just all around a good poker tool. I will post how i finished the tournament ( i am 7th out of 12) but just wanted to blog about that new site its awesome!!

Cahing Out

In my previous post I had stated that I deposited $50 dollars on fulltilt poker to switch it up. Since then (less then one week ago) I have made 2 cash outs of $100 and I still have a balance of $102. I am not bragging I am just trying a new tactic. I used to wait till I had like $500 or more before I cashed out, This was mainly due to the fact that I had to get it by cheque and it cost me $30. Now that I have it all set up with insta debit (awesome and free) I can cash out freely and in a relatively short period of time. The problem with waiting is u have the aspect of possibly losing your money in that time. Also with more money u tend to play in bigger games increasing your losses faster. I hope by keeping $100-$200 on the site at anytime i can avoid that. Also perhaps I can supply a steady income for the family! If this keeps up, maybe I will increase the limits and bankroll size accordingly, but for now I'm content with 200+ a week from online gaming. See you on the felt.

New Site

So I have decided to switch sites and play on fulltilt for a few different reasons.

1. Titan poker screws me around almost every time I want to cash out.



2. Fulltilt offers a good bonus.



3. I needed a change.



4. I'm sick of Titan poker!!!!

You see, I don't have proper i.d. So when I tyred to change my address on titan poker, for some odd reason they want proof of id. They are in a different country and have nothing to compare my picture too if they had it. Anyway its a pain in the ass. So I will not be playing there again(I have had similar problems in the past)

I decided to deposit $50 dollars on fulltilt. You will notice I am under the name bearcandy again and my avatar is a girl. This is because it is actually under my girlfriends name as she has all her i.d and also a bank account to deposit and withdrawl too.

It has been good to me so far, The sit and goes are terribly loose and also the mutlittables I have made it close to final table 2 times and last night got 2nd for $98 bucks. Today when I woke up I joined a $50 dollar buy in cash table and after a bit of grinding i hit top set and got all my money in vs 2 others for a $130 pot.

After this I took a small loss so I decided to leave the cash table and cash out $100. Thus insuring that I cant really lose any money as I only deposited $50 I am left with $120 witch is a fine enough bankroll to make a bit off of anyway.

Notice the r.o.i for sit and goes, I know its a small sample but it so far has been indicative of the terrible play on the $5 dollar sit and goes.

See you all on the felt.

Monday May 5th

Hello, it's Zachary Young here guest blogging for Jamie Poker. Jamie and I are getting drunk and playing online poker. Ironically we have been winning all of my tables and losing all of his.

Right now we are deep in a $3 tourney. I have 9000 chps and in 89th out of 101. Then JJ runs into Ax and he turns his ace. We redeem ourselves with a victory in a $5 SNG on Jamies account, and I got $8 or so for the $3 tourney anyway. Jamie's $5 SNG pays $22 and we decide to stick with that format. We basically won it when heads up we get it all in preflop with 99 vs 87. I mean wtf. We flop a set on a monochrome board but he does not hit it. That win makes up for the few tournies we lost earlier. Now Jamie is up like $10. I'm up like $35 or so approximately. We are on our A games and Jamie has went out for food. We have the slow cooker cooking up some pork as well. Since I am drunk right now I'm not in any tournies.

I do feel having the additional insight of another player adds to my game, especially when intoxicated. Drunken poker is a lot of fun and I'm happy we won the SNG, that was a solid win. The opposition was terrible. We did a sharkscope on one of our opponents, the guy who was in the lead massively when there was three left and he was down $6000 or so. What a fool. He busted in third, just with terrible play. The heads up battle dragged on for a bit. He started to gain a little as I folded - I'm a bit of a rock - but then we doubled through him with 99 vs 87. It's absurd. Earlier in a $2 on Full Tilt in Jamie's account I went all in with two pair on the turn and got called by queen high no draw on the turn. Later I busted pushing A8 with 4 players after me - perhaps overly aggressive. At least we made up for it by winning the sit N go.

I'm drunk right now and not playing until Jamie get's back. Sometimes the best way to win is knowing when not to play.

Poll Results

The poll results are in. I am the best player in the world. That is all.

ONE WEEK OFF!

Well folks, I'm gonna take a week off. I won alot of money the other night (from $38- $500+) and like most times I win money, I lost a bunch of it. I don't know what it is but when ever i win a bunch of money I usually end up losing some playing outside my bankroll drunk. This time was no different. Last night started great, I got 2nd in a $50 sit and go then 3rd in a $100 sit and go. After that i was really drunk and cant remember much about how I lost it all but I'm sure it was from horrible play!. So I have decided to take a week off of poker and regroup before I leave myself broke. So long . See you all soon.

The Old Woman and the Snake

An old woman was walking down the road when she saw a gang of thugs beating a poisonous snake. She rescued the snake and carried it back to her home, where she nursed it back to health. They became friends and lived together for many months. One day they were going into town, and the old woman picked him up and the snake bit her. Repeatedly. "O God" she screamed, "I am dying! Why? I was you friend. I saved your life! I trusted your! Why did you bite me?"

The Snake looked up at her and said, "Lady, you knew I was a snake when you first picked me up"

50 dollar chumps!

Ridding High

Well I "Grinded it out" so to speak, that is saying I have a small bankroll (from nothing) far faster then I thought.


I decided to play some .50-1 nl for a bit and won like 25 bucks and I left the table.

Tourneys are my strength....... so I join a 50+5 sit and go

bathroom break

2 TOURNEYS 2 FINALS AND IM IN FIRST

The Switherou

Well it seems that every time I switch accounts I have success. Offcouse this has nothing to do with the software, as I dont believe in that. However, perhaps it has something to do with my subconsous. I think the truth lies in my next beer.

If anyone is learning something from my blog (if anyone is reading it) then good. If not, I dont care much as I am having fun anyway...........

Anyway I decided to join a few tourneys

One was a $2 rebuy tourney witch im doing well in and the other was a $3 dollar rebuy tourney and im doing well in that too. Witch is why I started writing this in the first place.

TAKE A LOOK SEE

Time to Rebuild

Well folks, I lost all my money...... I lost it and it was nobodies fault but mine.....

I was thinking I may have to resort to actually buying in. But I logged into my account (bearcandy is actually under my girlfriends name) and low and behold there was $38.

So I will try and grind out some money there. Thank god as I don't like making deposits and since there is so much free money sites give away I feel dumb when I do.

So I will start fresh. Bottoms up

My new name is bonuswhore3 (bonuswhore, and bonuswhore2 are mine as well) I have used noble poker and titan poker as well as cd poker for bonus whoring purposes.

I will eventually talk about what bousworing is (google it if u have to know now) as it can be a profitable way to make money online as well.

I just lost a sit and go hand goes like this

DIRTY DOZEN RESULTS FOR 4/20/08

Well as u can see I played a total of 3 dirty dozens last night and I placed 1st, 1st, 3rd.

I will try and play alot of them just so we can all get a good idea if its possible.

See u on the felt>

DID I PLAY IT WRONG

TELL ME WHAT I DID WRONG???

THE DIRTY DOZEN CHALLANGE!

If any of u readers play on titan poker or any of the ipoker affiliates, then u may be familiar with what a "dirty dozen" is. For those of u who don't it is a sit and go tournament, with a buy in of $2.40. There are 2 tables of 6 players, the first 4 places pay out with 4th only being your buyin returned. Here's the good part. If u place 1st 4 times in a row u get $2000.

Here's the challenge: Win it!!

I will play between 5-10 of these tourneys a day (maybe more who knows) and publish the results.

If any of u guys can get the prize before me I will give a free bag of potatoes.

THINK LIKE A PRO!

Technically, the only difference between a part time poker player and a professional poker player is where the majority of your income is derived from, but this article is not about technicalities. What we are here to discuss today are the key distinctions that set the novice from the professional. Being a pro is more than spending a lot of time at the tables, or even winning a lot of money; it is a mind set.

The amateur is content simply to win a pot; the professional asks himself how much more he could have won if he had played the hand better.

The amateur considers only his hand; the professional knows, within a degree of probability, what his opponent has.

The amateur fears the river card; the professional fears nothing.

The amateur get's angry when he is outdrawn; the professional smiles, knowing he put his money in as a favourite.

The amateur is elated when he wins; the professional is to busy analyzing his opponents play to feel emotional.

The amateur raises to 'thin the field' or to 'get players out'; the professional raises because he has the best hand and wants to get more money in the pot.

The amateur delights in the machismo of his bluff; the professional bluffs because he feels it is likely his opponent will fold the better hand.

The amateur blames his opponents for playing hands that they "shouldn't"; the professional mentally thanks his opponents for their terrible play.

The amateur wishes desperately for a certain card; the professional simply calculates the odds.
The amateur tilts; the professional doesn't.

The amateur sets win / loss limits; the professional plays while he is playing well, and quits when he is playing poorly.

THINK LIKE A PRO!

CLOSE BUT NOT ENOUGH!

Well I almost made It but in the end I lost. O well there is always tommorow. I really wanted to cash in 3 tourneys in a row for u all.

Tryin to make up for the buy in on cash tables but not doing well there either. Good night all.

WHO IS THE BEST VOTE NOW IN MY POLL

FREE MONEY$$$$$ NO LIE FREE MONEY $$$4

Free money????? Ya right Jamie whats the catch.....

NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND I CAN PROVE IT!!!!

I have in the past won plenty of money on poker sites, cashing it out and all without making a single deposit on that account.

For instance on this particular account I'm playing on now, gave me free 20 bucks about 1 month ago. That's how I got this money in the first place to play with. I played patiently and got 2ND in a $3 dollar re buy for $343. I promptly cashed out $200 and have already spent that money yesterday. I still left some on there and as we speak I have $125 there.

There was also the time I got $14 for free and cashed out $1400 plus....

There were others but that's not really the point. The point is it can be done and you can do it too!!

First off there are sites u would like to visit like http://www.thebankrollmob.com/ I have included a pic in this blog of the site. Notice all the different sites u can get money at!!!!

Its absolutely true, I have received all my free money at all those sites, not only under my name but anyone Else name that will let me do it in!!!

Folks if u dont go and get your free money ALL OF YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE BORN WITH HUGE TOENAILS...

So I suggest u go and get it as I have just warned you.

Make sure u follow all the instructions carefully because if u mess it up it may take longer to get your free money or you may not get it at all. So what are u waiting for, KIDS WITH LONG TOENAILS RUIEN ALOT OF SOCKS. Based on that alone you would be nuts not to go get it.

DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO, BY JAMIE

O.K Lets first start off with last nights playing (and I use that term loosely) I made it far in the 2 dollar re buy once again placing in the money but failed to make the final table, as some donkey called me with garbage and hit...... That left me up for the night (cash tables as well) I was up 25 dollars at that point, The problem was now I was drunk. So In my infinite drunken intelligence I decide it would be a great idea to play a $20 sit and go tourney. I get beat by some fish ( ITS TRUE I HAVE PICS!!) on some horrible call. Well that makes me angry, I must now win my money back... So I buy in again, AND PLAY HORRIBLE POKER. So I buy in again.......

NOTICE THE FLOPS SEEN PERCENTAGE, NOW THATS TIGHT!

Well 3 buy ins and 3 loses, I killed my Return on Investment percentage in sit and goes and was down over $60 bucks.

Well now is defiantly the time to play some 3-6 limit as i have about $120 total..... This all after I just wrote a article on Bankroll Management........

• Some how i managed to win a some back and leave at $145 for the night. Down only $30

Not to bad considering.........

Anyway I don't plan on drinking tonight I have my daughters birthday party tomorrow and I actually want to recoup some of last nights loses...

I have joined a $15 dollar multi table. 152 donkeys have joined (153 when u count me) and I plan on taking no hostages.

I will let u all know how I do, Wish me luck.

W.S.O.P

Its called the w.s.o.p challange............. Ya i said it. Not only that it attracks the biggest fish in town. let me show u. These are actual stats from actual players at tables im playin. The premiss is there are two 6 person tables with only 4 prizes paying out.

If you win first place 4 times in a row u win a W.S.O.P prize worth over 20k!

WoW Jamie can this be true!!

WHY NOT?

Well it was up and down, didnt play much. I stared with a bankroll off $170. Now I have $195.96 and its like 7am ( my old lady is gonna kill me)

I say lets let her ride. No NO noon ooo not my girlfriend but the extra money I have managed to win even thogh its clear now im drunk in a foggy haze.

I propose a $20 sit and go just to see, hell i gotta finish this beer anyway..

see ya all tommorow
