Played the Monday night tournament. Same ole shit. I see a couple flops and hit nothing. Then I get QQ with no raises in front of me. I limp and instantly ask myself why am I doing that. 5 to the flop and its 8,6,3 with two clubs. We all check to the button who bets big. He bets 600 into a 500 pot. This guy is very aggro and I figure he isnt that strong. So I raise to 2500 and I got 1000 left. He knows he is beat. He thinks for a while. I think he just decided he didnt care. So he called. The turn is another 8. I put my 1000 in and he calls. He had 8,5. No draw. Just a naked 8. Im sure I could say that he shouldnt have been in there because I shoulda raised preflop but fuck that. I was supposed to win a 7000 pot there. Actually I was supposed to win an 1100 chip pot cause he was supposed to fold to the raise. But preflop I had two hyper aggressive people behind me who coulda raised just to try and steal the limps so it was worth it for me to try and limp reraise. Anyway I said screw the cash game and left. Short night. Im still waiting on 2010. I need 2010 to get here. I need something to help me put this last year to bed.
Ive been swingin wildly online this week. I started by winning 8 out of 10 $20 Heads Up SnGs. Then I played some .50/1.00 full ring games. I went up another $150 and have come back down $160. Most of the come back down was from my only 2 all in preflops where I lost to AK suited both times by them hitting a flush. I had KK and QQ. I win just one of those and its a $100 swing. The shitty part is Im playing wild and loose so when I have monster hands I get action. My preflop stats are like 40% VIP and 20% raise. I know I cant win like that. I should just grind heads up SnGs. But lately Ive been liking ring games. So after all that Im up to $310 from last report of $210 and down from my high point yesterday of $455. Im going to be at $1000 by the end of January. Im sick of this piddling around shit.

Wanna Play Higher
I gotta do something different online. I keep going up and dropping down but its all in the little stakes games. My win rate goes up so much the higher I play. I get bored and cocky and have little regard for money in the .25/.50 game. I lost a full $50 buyin in two hands last night because of this. I had 8,5 on the button and a few limpers so I call. Flop is A,K,5. Small blind guy leads out. I figure he has an Ace. Someone calls and I call. Thats the problem. I called hoping to hi a 5 or an 8 because the money wasnt significant enough. Well the turn is an 8. He bets again. I didnt really like the bet. Now Im wondering if he has pocket 5s. But I call. The river is another 8. Yatzeee. And it makes the flush. He bets into me again. Now I can beat those pocket 5s or Ace,5 or a flush draw with a pair. I push in hoping he has the flush. He calls. A8. I lose. How fucking brutal. My own fucking fault. I should never seen the turn. Then I get pissed and buy into a $50 Head Up SnG. I dominate the guy but never kill him. The blinds get high and the pots get big and he runs good and I dont. Out. So I lost $80 total because I was playing .50/1.00 and up $30 and decided to play lower for shits before I had to go. ANYWAY.
My point is this. I want to play the $1/2 game. Historically Ive done well I that game. When my backer cashed out. I dropped down in stakes and started doing poorly so I cashed out. I couldnt bear the thought of him making money and me not. I left $80 bucks on and have run that up and down between having my last $20 in a SnG all the way up to over $700. Im at $210 right now. Im want to put $2000 on and just play higher. My hesitations are the current state of legality in terms of cashing out and that $2000 is a lot for me and I will be bummed if I lose it. Also Im worried that I might become to focused on playing and neglect my life if I invest a lot into it. Maybe I should just quit my job and uber nit multi-tables and be a rake back pro. I dunno. Stupid laws. Stupid time management.

Mutha F'in Mondays
So I played Monday night before last. Played the tournament and pretty much broke myself the first big pot. I raised big in late position and the big blind called. I had AQ and an Ace hit (along with 2 deuces) and he bet into me. So at this point I have to fold my AQ and give him credit for AK or AA or I push because my all in raise is only 1.5 times his bet. I push. He calls with AK. Im out. I played cash and did ok.
I played this Monday too. Nothing but crap cards and a steal attempt that ran into QQ. I played cash. Miserably card dead all night. I had AK about 3 times and JJ a coupla times and that was it for 5 hours. I did however win some pots with two pair to stop bleeding. I never had better than 2 pair until my last hand. My last hand I had AK and I raised large and only got one caller. The flop comes K55. He checks. I decided to check. This kid is aggressive some I thought I would maybe get a turn bet from him. An 8 hits the turn and I saw him react on his face like he liked it. He bet $40 and I just called. The river is another 5 and he checks. I think he may have been fishing with a medium pair on the turn. I without thinkng very hard bet about half the pot. He ista shoves. Now I gotta figure out if he has a K and just doesnt want to split or if he has 88 or a 5 or even AA. I think forever and I had everything I needed to fold. I saw the tell on the turn but couldnt believe he checked the river to me. While I was deciding he asked i I had Aces and I said yeah something like Aces and he grimaced and I knew if he was bluffing he wouldnt engage me or act like Aces scared him there. He threw me a few reverse tells while I was lookin at him. Since I raised preflop he didnt have a 5. So I Put him on 88 or a dry King and I had sick feeling it was 88. Why did I have to bet the damn river. I coulda saved $275 because I dont lose the $50 value bet and I endedup saying fuck it and called the river. He had 88. What a fucking check. That check made me think my turn read wasnt very good. For $220 more I found out it was. Broke. Lost $460 in the cash game. Fuck 2009. I shouldnt have been playing on sinus medicine anyway. FML.

F 2009
Dammit I had written this long ass blog post and the power went out and I was writting on a simple text editor where no auto backups were happening. Im gonna write it all again. Im sure it wont be as detailed because I frickin hate redoin shit.
Two Saturdays ago I went to Harrahs. I have been running pretty bad. I havent been getting coolered as much as just not getting cards and everytime I stick my neck out I get whacked. As tight as I play I should have a pretty good percentage on bluffs. I only played two hands that were memorable. In about the third orbit I pick up 10's in middle position with no limpers so I raise it to $15. I get a call from the small blind. Of course he called. Its only 7.5 times the big blind and he did have a half a blind in there and his implied odds are great cause Im a short stack. The flop is 223 and I overbet the pot and he called. Spade flush draw. I know if the turn isnt a spade or an Ace I have to push. My stack is about pot size. Its a red Queen. He checks. I push. He calls. He wins. Q6 of spades. First buyin gone. My other big hand I straddle and 8 people call and I make it $45 to go with AJ and get 5 calls. I dont hit and dont put anymore in. Later I played 3/6 limit with $80 and drag zero pots. I go sit with my friend and wait on another friend to cash out. I stick $5 in $1 slot and lose. I decided to play that machine instead of the one right next to it because the one I didnt play had 777 on the bottom row and all blanks on the pay line. Too symerical. After I lose my $5 an asian guy plays the machine with the 777 and his second pull wins $1000. My friend is laughing at me while the machine keeps ringing and three asians yell and scream and jump around right behind me. FML. We did hang out at the Masqueade some and I saw a guy I went to Vegas with last year in there totally coke or crystaled out and he was basically making an ass of himself by dancing in front of the psuedo strippers like they were the only people in the room. Then he eventually sat down in front of the dancer and stared at her through a triangle he was making with his fingers. Kooky. I decided not to play again until 2010. Ive already broken that pre New Years resolution.
