My bad luck keeps getting worse...
I switched over to cash play, starting in the .10/.25 game, figuring to change it up a little. As the tournaments are not treating well.
Nope, the low limits play is horrible. So i busted the $50 that was lefted in my account and then reloaded and then busted another $25.
This sucks!

Starting to think this poker thing is not for me....
I just cant win.....
Wednesday,
Mookie. Went completely card dead at the end. I eventually picked up an Ace and shoved. I get called by 99 vs. my A1o, and cant hit my pair. Gone 16th place.
Again like usual i play in a SnG, build a huge stack, get 3 outed on, to cut my stack, next hand I pick up KK, and get called by A8. Ace hits the river. bounce in 3rd w/ nothing to show for it.
Thursday,
Riverchasers. Feeling good, after a couple of after dinner drinks. I play a bunch of different hands to gambol a little.
After a couple of check/calls to see some hands, I pick up 55 UTG+2 raised 1/3 of my stack get called by one player, third player shoved, I called and the second player in the pot called as well.
second player calls w/ K10 off, (donk), third player shoved AJ.
flop hits me w/ a set. K10 pair his K, and AJ, had the broadway draw. turn brick. river 10. Peaceout.
I ended up playing the PLO 1045 tourney, have AAJ10, double suited, get called by some donk. Who had A266, single suite A high. He hits his set, slow plays me to death. Nice hand.
Enter a SnG 9-handed. again build a chip lead, bust in third for a small return.
Having the day off today on Friday, I enter myself into Super Satelite PLO game for $7. Bayne was in it. Top 3 get a return, w/ top 2 get a seat to a $50 satelite . Guess what place I come in, 3rd for a $4 profit. Again 4 handed I had a chip lead, and it get whittled down to nothing.
Serious I cant win.

this is a first.....
Tonites Token Frenzy.
I was trying for the BigGame on Sunday.
This is a first for me. First out. Here is the hand http://www.pokerhand.org/?1951219
Razz is funny....
Played in "Skillz Series" last nite, the game was Razz, I keep playing the "Skillz" games because of a couple reasons.
1. Its not hold'em
2. I really want to open up my game to the other forms of poker.
This is a great series of games that Chad set up for us degenrates. Though Razz is a card catching and chasing game, it really is a easy game to play. The secret is patience. Being patient will keep you in this game a long time.
With that said I didnt have the patience to play this game patiently. For some reason the baby kept waking up and wore on my last nerve.
It was an up and down game, which wore even more on my nerves. Up at one point, down at the next. Basically, I stood in the middle of the pack for most of the night. At one point i was second in chips with 13 or so people left. At this point I double a shorty and found my self back down in the middle. Couple of hands dont go my way (which always happens in this game) and i'm towards the bottom.
Somehow I ened up at the final table. I arrived on the very short stack. At this point baby was still not asleep and all I was looking for was a quality hand to put the rest of my money in.
6th hand in, I found that hand and shipped it. By the time I got back to the laptop, I saw i was bounced in 8th. 3 spots away from getting to the money. I hate it.
Feeling the need to get my money back, I fired up a 6-max turbo SnG...... I killed it. And to be honest that is an understatment. It was the best tournement/cash/ring/benefit/home game I had. I really need to go through the HH to see the combinations of hands that I got. With that satisification of winning the night was complete. In the past few nights I have been ending my session with a SnG and I have cashed in 5 out of 7 of the ones i'v I been in 2-1st 2-2nd and 1-3rd. I really need to build my BR.

Zero
Played absolutely zero poker this weekend.
I really thought with my work schedule that I would be able to play most of the day Saturday and some when the baby is asleep on Fridays.
Well Fridays are a completely bust and Saturdays are filled with errands.
I did go to the Flyers game on Saturday afternoon. The fly guys dominated the first period and then it got turned around on themselves, while the Bruins were a completely different, team for the 2nd period and halfway thru the 3rd period.
Then a powerplay lit a fire under the asses of the Flyers as they rallied back down from 1-3. Goals by Scott Hartnell (who is on fire) and Danny Breiere, tied it for the orange and black.
At the end of the 3rd period, the flyers had a ton of chances and shots to seal it for the victory, but just like the rest of the game they kept missing the net.
Finally regulation had ended and it was time for the most exciting five minutes of sports. NHL Overtime. 4 on 4 hockey for five minutes, its the best. Odd man rushes, break-aways, point blank shots, incredible saves. Its awesome.
Going into OT, I told my dad, that the flyers should end this game in 1 minute. Well.... I was right about it being ended in a minute. Unforturntely it didnt go in favor the of the flyers. As a loose puck got push towards Niitamayki, as he was coming forward to clear the puck to the boards. A lone Bruin was there to clean it up and slap shot it by the goalie, as he was recovering from coming forward. From my seat it looked like it got deflected but I havent seen the postgame show or any highlights.
Overall it was a great time and game. It was my first one this year, as my pops has seasons tickets. Although he sold the rest of the games, I hope to get to another one.
