Ahhh, Football Season

Love, Love, Love football season. Went 7 for 7 in college football yesterday. Cha-Ching!!!!
My picks
West Virigina
Penn St.
Olakahoma
Gerogia
UCLA
Michigan State
TCU

The first couple of weeks for college is always nice.

Also, I'm thinking about the Florida State vs. Clemson game and taking FSU. at -3.5.


On the poker front, played a couple of satelite rebuy tournements to get into a Saturday night tournament and the Sunday tournament and failed horribly. So much to sticking to PLO.

I really need a score.

Later.

A good movie....

Finally a night with no visitors. Also made a nice easy dinner and took a walk for the first time as family. So after that was said and done, it was time to relax with a movie. Now I love watching TV from my home including movies. I havent gone to the movie theater since my 2nd date ever and that was in the 6th grade. Movie tickets and accessories cost a fortunte these days, and these are a couple reasons why I stay home and thats why i love Comcast OnDemand.

The flick for tonight was 'Shooter", starting Mark Walhberg. Mark also was in "Boogie Nights", "The Departed", "Invincable" "Four Brothers" and is Executive Producer of the greastest show on TV "Entourage"

the storyline was Mark as a retired Sharp Shooter, that was recruited by a government agency, that wanted him to plan an attempt of an assination of the president. The majority of the movie was taped in Philadelphia and this was the city of the attempt of the execution.

Well this planned assination was a trap to set up Mark, as the assisan. To make a long story short, Mark goes on sick killing spree to the end, to prove himself that he is innocent. Well I dont want to give to much away but its a must see. Mark, in my opinion has not done a bad movie in a long time. He is definatly a bad ass actor and he chooses scripts that really suit him.


On the poker side of things, I got to play a quick SnG on Filt, a PLO 6-max game and place 1st. Yeah first. its been so long that I actually won a table or game that it almost made me quit poker. Sike!

I think that I'm going to just play PLO for a period of time as the game doesnt bore me like NLHE.

Also, considering that I havent been doing this for a long time.... you know blogging. I have a couple of question

1. How do you put links in the blog?
2. Screenshots?
3. How do you put banners and logos on the blog?


post comments and let me know.
thanks.

ehhhh

My weekend starts Thursday, due to my work schedule, being off Fridays and Saturdays, so its my shift to stay up w/ the baby, while mom gets some sleep, usually the baby is asleep, so I get to play poker late nite. Thank god, Internet Poker, what would I do without it.

So thrusday, i played for a while, got deep in a $10+1 MTT, but didnt cash, disappointed, but no big deal.

Notice a lot of people limping UTG w/ KK and AA, really weird, but they would catch 3 people in the hand and get paid off, while the others had underpairs, 10's and JJ.

Also played in one of those PAD freerolls that popup in the tournaments tab. Its usually a time killer for me and what I think is a learning tool, for hand situations that come about in live or real money tournamets. I got all the way to the final table and finished 5th. Lost the hand pair vs pair. My 99 vs JJ. Oh well


Saturday was a hot day, I would only know by playing golf. I love to play golf, especially with people who dont take it to seriously. I'm not the best golfer in the world, but I can hang. My iron game needs work and my putting game was a little off. But it was off the tee that helped me, I hit a lot of fairways.

I ended up winning the round of golf w/ a 92, at Lederach Golf Club, Harleysville. Nice course.

Its been a month

Yeah, so its about a month since the last time I wrote. A lot has happen, a lot. My fiance and I had our baby boy on Aug 3rd, so its been crazy. We named him James Dylan and we will calling by his middle name, just like his dad. The first name is link to me and my dad, his grandfather. My dad goes by his first name, i go by my middle, and my son will be the same.

So since he has been born, i have seen more people and more gifts for the baby, that I could open up a coffee house and clothing store in my house. I love that everyone loves him but when will the constant flow of people stop???

My poker playing has been limited for the last month, but I was able to play a little here and there, especially one table SnGs. I havent had the time to play a big tourney but was able to play for a seat into the FTOPS Main Event, unfortanuly I missed the cut.

I have to find time to play and its seems like Thrusday nights and Fridays, when I'm home will be the best time to play. What I really want to do is play live, either a freeroll or a home game.

Riverchasers Event # 2

Finally a decent result. I played expectionally well last nite. 47 playes showed up for a $10+1 private tourney on Full Tilt last nite. I finished 4 for a whopping $52 payout. last nite i was really focused. Not like other time where i was already seeing a bad beat happening agaisnt me, verus some donkey. Every raise, people layed down and every over the top moved that I did, they layed down. I was all in and called twice all night. Twice! With that kind of stat, I should of won the thing. I was chip leader when we 4 handed but only by a little, I did make a mistake when we were 4-handed, I tried a check raised on a J,8,4 w/ two diamonds high board w/ A9 of hearts, and the opponent came over the top for the rest of his chips and was forced to lay it down. It was moved by me to see if he would lay down like a pair, but it didnt work and was back to playin my TAG style. I played every hand well last nite, I know I missed some bets and hands when I was in position but I was more then satisify w/ the outcome.

On the car search, I finally purchased one and went with the Hyundia Santa Fe, 3.3 V-6 AWD model. Its was the best deal out of all the cars that I saw. It had the bigger engine, better warranty, 60 month deal, and finance rate. Plus, I got the price that I want. Haggling is fun, especially with car salemans. I want a deal and they want to sell

I need a new car!

I need a new car and soon! In less then a month, me and my fiance will be having our first son and my transportation does not fit the nature of is to come.

What i have now is a 2004 Toyota Tacoma with an extended cab. the cab does not fit a car seat properly so i need a 4 door car. Cars that I have been looking at are the Honda CR-V, the Toyota Rava-4, the Jeep Compass and the Saturn Vue.

I have been looking in this class for awhile and every dealership is giving me this out rageous payment. well over what i can afford. just crazy prices. they give crazy finance charges and dont give me what my truck is really worth. Its really insane.


So, if anyone nows someone that can give me a good deal, let me know. I need to act fast.

First losing session in a long while..

I had my first losing session in a long while. between tournaments and sitting in a cash game... I lost about $50 bucks of my roll. You migh say wow $50 bucks, no big deal, but I dont have a huge roll that I keep online, my roll offline is a lot different. Online i usually play turbo SnGs, and low limit cash from .15/.30 cent up to .25/.50 games, i also play low limit MTTs and satelites to bigger tournaments.

This how i started out my day,
Game 1. played a $6.50 turbo SnG 9-handed, first hand AK vs QQ. See ya, lost that race.

Game 2. played another $6.50 turbo SnG third hand JJ vs 88, flop an 8. Out flopped. See ya.

Game 3. drop down to $2.25 6-man SnG, missed the money. The hand before I went crippled me, SB vs BB, AJ vs A10, yup lost that one, but well played by the SB.

Game 4. played a $6.50 6-man, 2nd hand 10's vs QQ's again out flopped, See ya.

Total lost in 4 games about $23.

Then I saw a PLO $5.50 games. almosted cashed by 10 spots. Still no profit. After this. I decided to go to bed and cut my losses for the nite. but thats what i thought, I had the hard time trying to sleep. So, I ended up play a full ring .25/.50 cent game, where i lost my buy-in. I was really pissed, cuz i was up half a buy-in, and was pleased that I wasnt really stuck as bad from the beginning.

Money Management 101. Be happy stuck a little then a lot.

I will work hard to get back.
