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.
