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.
- Titan poker screws me around almost every time I want to cash out.
- Fulltilt offers a good bonus.
- I needed a change.
- 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.
