Because we're EVIL
From a Reuters article...
"Online players have preyed on casual, less skilled players.
"I make money off of the idiots who watch one poker tournament on ESPN2, borrow their mom's credit card, and tank $100 over the course of 10 minutes," said EVPlus, a blogger on MySpace who describes himself as a 30-year-old male from Pittsburgh. He did not respond to e-mails."
Um... wow, I didn't realize my winning at online poker meant I was preying on poor innocents. I feel so bad now. Is this how Roger Clemens feels after striking out Neifi Perez yet again? Evil bastard.

Republicans are better poker players?
From an article in The New Republic...
"The best player I have run into, whom I shall call X to avoid offending Christian right donors to his think tank, is a Republican. X, who played in a Capitol Hill game where the big winner would often be in the $7,000-plus range, used to make so much money that he could have given up his day job. Why was he so successful? Republicans are much less risk-averse than Democrats, and taking risks is crucial to poker. Howard Baker noted that Ronald Reagan's 1981 tax cut was a "riverboat gamble." The GOP has consistently demonstrated a willingness to risk high deficits, especially to cut taxes that fall on their biggest donors. The party advocating preemptive war is not likely to be cowed by a big bet. Democrats, conversely, are the party of risk-aversion -- supportive of the safety net, opposed to new weapons systems, and sympathetic to protective trade policies. They are less able to tolerate the tension and uncertainty of a game in which a week's salary--or more--can be won or lost in a single hand...
A bachelor until late middle age, X got married a few years ago, and, more recently, he became a father. These joyous events have made him happy. They have also killed his poker game...."

Hassenfeffer's Journey into the land of limit #4
Sat down for a morning game and lost $.54. Players at 7AM on a weekday are TIGHT! My cards were also very bad. I did steal the blinds by raising with QJs from middle position - not something I coudl do at my usual table.
I got in trouble when I limped with A2s and called a raise behind me. Flop came AQ2 rainbow and I capped on the flop. He slowed down on the turn for no reason I could see, just calling my bet. We both checked the river and he turns over QQ for a set. I need some sort of rule for playing 2 pair because it seems to screw me over more often than even tptk. Any suggestions?

At a ten person table, Lee Jones says you should do the following in early position:
AKs, AQs, AJs - Raise
A10s, A9s - Limp
A8s and lower - fold
Now, if you're going to fold A8s, shouldn't you fold A9s? If you're going to play A9s, shouldn't you play Axs?
AKs, AQs, AJs - Raise
A10s, A9s - Limp
A8s and lower - fold
Now, if you're going to fold A8s, shouldn't you fold A9s? If you're going to play A9s, shouldn't you play Axs?

Lost 1.00 tonight. Forgot to write down the correct amount because I saw some suspicious behavior at a table where a guy kept calling another player "sweetheart" and folded to her with no bet.

Hassenfeffer's Journey into the land of limit #1
Ok, sat down at a empty .05/.10 table on UB with $5 . Some guy played 8 hands with me and I took $.82 right away from him. He got up and left. I went to find a full table. Cleared .03 of bonus!
Over the next 1.5 hrs I took my $5 to $6.55 and cleared $.94 of bonus.
Dealt 104 hands
Saw 22 flops
Won 9 hands
Of the hands I won, I won 86% of them on the river. I pretty mush had to show down the best cards. People were paying me off with some awful hands on their part. I have 3 new "buddies" to follow.
I did note that I did not check raise the entire time. Lee Jones says it is an important way to get more money into the pot if you have ahuge hand. I'm not sure I missed any check raising opportunites. It seems like I was mostly up against calling stations. I'll post a few hands later.
Total winnings + bonus for night = $3.34

Take that vile cards!
So I guess we all know who won the 1st annual "I am better than you are" poker tournament! That's right: ME! Hmmm. I think that will be the name of every tournament I win. Only the ones I win get that title though. I think that is fair.
Seriously, I hope everyone had a good time Sunday night. We'll do it again next time I win a big score. I estimate that to be between three and seven years from now. Be prepared!

Do we still play poker?
Come on, people! The one spammer we got a few months back has probably forgotten about us by now. We neeed to get serious in this blog for our fanz!
Lets start the ball rolling with a discussion. KQoff: playable or no? I say in early position NEVER. In mid or late I will position raise with it, but will most likely fold any other time. KQoff can get you into some serious trouble and will more likely lose a big pot for you than win one.
Let's hear and argument, Danger. Do it. Come on. Do it. Yeah, Do it.

Why are WE the ass-backwards country?
House Passes Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act
Bill Is Designed to Stop Flow of Money to Online Poker Rooms and Casinos
The United States House of Representatives today approved a bill that would prevent credit card companies and financial institutions from working with online casinos and cardrooms in an effort to stop online gambling.
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which passed by a vote of 317-93, would also give authorities the right to work with Internet providers to block access to gambling-related websites.
The bill will now go to the Senate, where it should face a tougher time being approved. The White House said it supports the bill.
If this bill makes it into a law, it would prohibit credit card companies from collecting money for casinos and would force financial institutions to work with law-enforcement agencies to stop money from being transferred to online gaming sites.
Virginia Rep. Bob Goodlatte, who sponsored the bill along with fellow Republican Jim Leach, called online gambling “a scourge on our society” on the House floor today, and also repeatedly mentioned the name of Jack Abramoff, the disgraced lobbyist who pleaded guilty in January to various crimes, including bribery, he committed while representing several Indian casinos.
Goodlatte said the bill would help stop the “moral decline” that he claims is now occurring in America. He also claims that online casinos are really fronts for money launderers and that online gambling undermines families and threatens states’ abilities to enforce their own laws.
He says this despite the fact that several online poker sites are traded publicly, including PartyGaming (PartyPoker.com’s parent company), 888.com, Sportingbet (which owns ParadisePoker.com), and Empire Online.
He also sticks by his claims despite the fact that several dozen countries, including the United Kingdom, allows, regulate, and tax online gambling.
The bill does have its critics. Democrat Rep. Barney Frank warned during today’s debate that the bill is a violation of individuals’ rights. “What kind of social, cultural authoritarianism are we practicing here?” Frank asked. “I think (the bill) is a great infringement on liberty. When it comes to an individual decision on how to spend your own time and money, that's not my position. That’s not my business. I am skeptical of people who want to protect people from themselves.”
The online industry recently got a cautious boost of support from the American Gaming Association. The AGA is encouraging lawmakers to explore ways to make online wagering legal, taxable, and regulated. All major casino chains are members of the AGA.
Card Player Magazine and CardPlayer.com encourage readers to fight to save online poker by joining one of several grassroots organizations that are working to make online poker legal. Card Player has supported letter-writing campaigns and our legal expert, Allyn Jaffrey Shulman, has kept a close watch on this issue. Click here for her archives and click here for her comprehensive analysis of the Internet Prohibition Act, which this current bill is based on. And be sure to stay tuned to CardPlayer.com to read updates pertaining to this issue.

Yeah, I'm talking to YOU, you degenerate loser
John Kindt, a business professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign who has studied the issue, calls the Internet "the crack cocaine" of gambling.
"There are no needle marks. There's no alcohol on the breath. You just click the mouse and lose your house," he said.

Quantum musings
So if the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct, and I believe it wins plurality backing among today's admittedly hesitant-to-commit quantum physicists, then in online poker play whenever you are dealt AA worlds will come to exist in which you go on to lose the hand. I don't think there can ever be an instance where you are dealt whatever pocket and not a single world comes into existence where you somehow lose the hand. Okay, well, we all know AA loses a fair percentage of the time in whatever particular world we're conscious of, but consider... there must exist a world in which you have lost EVERY SINGLE TIME you've ever been dealt AA. Imagine that. There may exist a real "you" in which you have gotten AA many, many times, and never, ever won the hand. And that "you" will continue to exist no matter how many times "you" get dealt AA. Sure, this may only be one single world in an ever increasing number of existing worlds stretching towards infinity, but it is real just the same, and that version of "you" is real.
I wonder if somewhere in this particular world there does exist such a poker player. If we knew there did exist such a person, that would be good proof that this interpretation of quantum is correct. I think. Of course, I was a sociology major.
More to come if no one else starts posting.

My legacy has begun...
Finally! I decided to check google to see if anyone has posted my usernames (ratnamedted and mr waturi) on any poker forums or blogs (not counting this one of course). I actually got a couple of hits! I think my online persona will be percieved as pretty tight. What do you think?

I just took a swig of coke, partially missed my mouth and dribbled soda off my chin and onto my newborn son's head.
Played in just my 4th sitngo in the last 3 months tonight; came in second. Check out this hand...

Poker = Sex Offender
In Washington State, Online Poker Players Equal to Sex Offenders
Lawmakers in Washington state have decided that they know what's best for all their residents, and recently passed Senate Bill 6613, which "[reaffirms and clarifies] the prohibition against Internet and certain other interactive electronic or mechanical devices to engage in gambling."So if you're a resident of Washington state, and you've been enjoying the freedom to play online poker in the privacy of your own home, your state Senate just decided to take that freedom away from you.
And if the prohibition wasn't bad enough, the genius Senate, which passed the bill unanimously, decided to make Internet gaming a Class C Felony, which carries a punishment of up to ten years in prison, and puts online poker players in the same class as registered sex offenders. That is just brilliant. Can anyone else smell the creeping facism? What will Washington state lawmakers decide to make illegal in your own home next?
Unlike most of this completely intrusive, totally unecessary anti-gaming legislation that's recently been pushed at the federal level by Republicans, the Washington bill was introduced by a Democrat, State Senator Margarita Prentice. The bill passed the House 93-5, proving that not everyone in Washington's state government is totally insane, but was fast-tracked and signed into law by Democrat Governor Christine Gregoire. The law will take effect on June 7th.

It takes one to beat one
So, last night (Monday 4/10) I was getting hit w/ bad beat after bad beat (as per usual). Suddenly the urge came over me to donk away all my chips in anger. Seeing as I was on a limit table at the time (not very satisfying when trying to act like an idiot) I began the search for a good place to throw away a little money. Within a few minutes I found my self seated at a $.50 + $.05 rebuy multi table tourn. This was good. I couldn't lose more than 55 cents at a time and could rebuy if the crunch wasn't as satisfying as I desired. The deal begins. 1st hand = JJ. Perfect. I quickly push allin early in the action. One caller = Ax. Flop, not bad. By the time the river comes, however, the table is filled w/ clubs. Split pot. Oh well. There was no satisfying crunch, but it was great for the table image. The next time I do that will sure to make a good splat. 2nd hand = JJ. Hah! Again, allin. Three callers this time. Perfect. Either I win huge and can really go splat later, or I make a big splat here and perhaps cause a few bad beats when the guy w/ Q10 hits his straight. I win... again. Suddenly I am leading this crazy tournament. Fast forward an hour and a half. I tighten up a little, but still make some stupid crazy bets and calls.
I win the tournament.
I end up staying up an hour later than I had planned in order to win a 50 cent tournament. Guess what I won? An entry into Tuesday night's $5 tournament. Of course there are over 1,000 people registered for this tournament compared to last nights 40 people. Still, I think I can do it. If I get lucky I can finish 107th and take down $6.63! That is a return of over 1000% on my original investment! Woohoo! Wish me luck.

I am playing Limit, 10 seat-table. I am the BB and I have 10 6 off.
We get a caller in middle positon and the cutoff raises. The button calls. So, I am getting 5:32 odds or 5:37 if I assume the first caller will just call the raise.
So I call the raise.
What would you do?

Back from 60
I came back from having 60 chips with 8 left to actually having the chip lead with 4 left. I didn't win it, but 2nd ain't bad considering where I was at.....For the record, he flopped 2 shitty pair with 8 2 off ......after I raised preflop. Oh well, that's poker.

Poker in "Meat Space"...Its just as good as online poker, only slower!

Party crashed my tourney
Down to 5 players and the new Party software crashed on us. Got an email from them saying they divided up the prize pool, including all the tourney fees, evenly among the 5 players left. I was in 4th in chips, so I'll take that... the guy with only 150 chips left, less than the BB, got REALLY lucky.
Anyway, that's really just an excuse to post something. Y'all still playing poker out there? I've had a subpar last week myself.

I take this ring...
So, only moments ago, I had a strange urge. This is something I haven't felt in a month and a half. I wasn't sure if I would truly ever feel this way again. Tonight I think I will play a RING game for a while! I am actually excited about playing a ring game?!?! I am sure I will lose it after my first bad beat and want to quit poker again. For now, I'm riding my wave of jubilation until I inevitably crash into the sea of despair. Just thought I would share. Go back to work.

The Kid
So, why is it that my 2 month old LOVES to start screaming uncontrollably when I am down to 5 in a tournament with the blinds at 200-400 and me shortstacked? Sure, I love him, but...arrrrgggghhhhhhhh. I'd trade him for a couple of nickels and a warm pop-tart some days.

Unluckiest Aces Ever
This is a sob story for someone else... I was just an amused observer. Poor guy gets 2 other players all-in with dominated hands, each having only 2 outs after the flop. The first guy hits his 2 outer on the turn, but that's okay, he'll still be up quite a few chips thanks to the second all-in. But uh-oh, the second one hits his 2 outer on the river. Two 2-outers in a row to completely crack his aces. Hehe. Just funny.

Pineapple
We've been playing it wrong.....I want my money back
In pineapple, players are dealt 3 cards instead of two. There is a round of betting. Then the flop comes (3 cards just like hold'em) and there is another round of betting.
However, after the betting after the flop, each player must discard one of their cards, so they are back down to the traditional two cards. Play is then the same as a hold'em game.

Come back, Jack!
Damn, we actually need Abramoff back at work corrupting the legislative process...
U.S. Takes Aim at Online Gambling
Legislation focused on cracking down on the thriving business of online gambling was introduced in Congress this week to tighten existing laws that outlaw the practice in the U.S.The Internet Gambling Prohibition Act, sponsored by Reps. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Rick Boucher (D-VA), would update the U.S. Wire Act, which prohibits gambling over telephone wires, to cover use of the Internet to operate a gambling business.
The bill not only forbids a gambling business from accepting payments made by credit cards and electronic transfers, but also includes an enforcement mechanism to address gambling operations, located offshore, that use bank accounts in the U.S.
"For too long our children have been placed in harm's way as online gambling has been permitted to flourish into a $12 billion industry," Goodlatte said in a statement.The bill would allow federal, state, local, and tribal law-enforcement officials to seek help from Internet service providers to remove or disable access to Internet gambling sites that violate the act. In addition, the bill would boost the maximum prison term for a violation of the Wire Act to five years from two years.
Similar legislation has been introduced over the years, but has been thwarted consistently by notorious gambling lobbyist Jack Abramoff...
Online gaming company PartyGaming, which operates PartyPoker.com and StarluckCasino.com, has said that state and local laws that prohibit or restrict online gaming and related services are a violation of the "dormant commerce clause" of the U.S. Constitution, which provides that state and local regulation of interstate activities is an impermissible restriction on interstate commerce.
The BBC has reported that the new legislation could run afoul of a World Trade Organization ruling last August that the U.S. cannot block offshore online gambling sites.Thursday, February 16, 2006
Party Poker: More Than Just a Facelift.
So, I log onto Party tonight to find that the program needs an update. A few minutes later I log onto a $10 tourn and what do I find? Party is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. First my chipstack is at 2000 chips?!?! Wha-? Last night it was 800 starting chips and now 2000! This foils my whole strategy. Next I notice blinds start at 20/40. This evens things out a little since before blinds started w/ 5/10 (I think). But, wait! Levels now increase every 10 minutes! Wha-? Am I going to have to play POKER now? Does this ruin my whole strategy? What will happen? Lucky, the idiots are still there. Let's see what happens next, shall we?

$10 to $500
So, since Absolute seems to be giving me money to come back and play I have decided to test my poker playing skills. I have $10 donated by Absolute. How long will it take me to turn that $10 into $500? Using the same bankroll management that I am currently employing on Party (where I have turned a free $10 from October into $290 so far) I hope to make it to $500 by the end of the year. This will be my technique: starting at the 50 cent tournaments, I will move up a level whenever I get 25x the buy-in for that level. Thus, I will move to the $1.00 + $.15 as soon as I have $28.75. I will move to the $2.00 + $.20 as soon as my BR reaches $55, and so on. If my BR ever falls below 20x buy-in for the level I am playing I will move down. Therefore, if I am playing the $2.00 tourns and have a bad stretch resulting in my BR falling to below $44 I will move down to the $1 tourns until I can get it above $55 again. This method will make the going slow, but it should also keep me from going broke.
So far, I have 3 tourns finished and am down about 45 cents. I can come back. I can do it. My baby needs diapers.

Last 4 SNGs, all played on Party: 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 1st. Back into positive territory on SNGs for the month now.
Link for the forum on shorthanded limit play.
I'd start with the "new posters please read" link stuck second to the top.
This opening chart is very useful.

You Pick Up Iron Spikes (27)
Fr0man might get the title of this.
Anyway, here are the results of my first five $5 10-seat SNGS ever.
7th, 8th, 1st, 4th, 3rd
So, I feel pretty good about that. If my math is correct, that is a $7.50 profit or $1.50 per tourney. I realize that this sampling is no where near representative but it does boost the old confidence.
I also played a 30 seat SNG and placed two spots out of the money. That hurt.
My BR is only up a tiny bit since lat post but that is because I am losing overall on the 6-Max .5/.10 ring games. I need to find a better way to clear out my bonus. Any suggestions?

Damn Internet!
So, I'm playing a 5.00 tourney with BJ last night...and I'm kicking butt. I have about 7,500 chips with about 5 left when I lose my connection. Second time on UB this has happened in a similar situation. Of course, I couldn't get back on for an hour. By then, it was way over. I emailed UB for a hand history, I found out I came in 3rd. I'm sure the last 2 guys just waited me out before they actually started to play heads up. Looking back at the hands I had to fold was terrible. I had AK and AQ about 5 times, QQ for the 4th time in the tourney, and my old friend JJ showed up...though I'm sure I would have lost a ton with it anyway.
I guess I can be happy I wasn't playing a 10.00 or a 20.00..but that's all I can be happy about, really.

2 brilliant hands wasted
Played 2 SNGs tonight. First one in level 3 I hit a royal flush and double up. I believe this was my first ever royal flush. Finally. But I end up finishing in 4th nonetheless.
Second tourney I call a minimum raise in level 2 with 33 against what turns out to be AA. The board comes down A33xx. I win a really big pot as you can imagine. I had over 5,000 chips at one point. But no good... I end up 4th again with some unlucky hands later, while other players conversely get lucky and avoid going out before me.
Poker is a mean mistress.

Books
I've just visited Amazon armed with my $75 gc from poker source online (thanks to Shane for the heads up about them). After buying gifts for my wife, I bought myself these:
A value at only $9.95, it is about the only book I can find in existence that is recommended on twoplustwo.com for its section on 6-handed limit HE play. Most books hardly address the shorthanded game, yet it is very popular online. I'm doing well in my ~ 2 week experiment with playing it, up about $35 this month so far playing it at the .10/.25 level, which makes up for being down this past week at SNGs. I never did this well at full table limit. I plan to see if I can carve out another successful poker niche here.
Apart from its attention grabbing title and cover, this $16.50 book which came out last October is getting a lot of buzz on twoplustwo. The general theory seems to be making use of big bets and all-in moves, eliminating many tough decisions that come after the flop and therefore helping more novice players compete with tough players in big tournaments. In SNGs, especially the ones structured like on Party and Empire where much of the tourney after levels 1-2 is about all-in moves and when to make them and with what cards, this book may be a nice help. I know I struggle some in knowing when to push all-in preflop and with what cards I need to do it in a certain spot, so that's why I'm picking this book up. It's probably of less use in SNGs structured like UB where you have bigger stacks and more time, unless you figure yourself to not be as good as the other players.

I'm up against the table's loud-mouthed overconfident 15 year old. He is not a good player. I'll go ahead and lay out our pockets before the rest of the hand. The flop, turn, and river were each delicious. The turn only in retrospect.

Two Words. "Boo" "Yah"
Feburary 3rd 2006 was the opening of the Chez Parson Open (hereforth referred to as the CPO). I am happy to report that I was able to take down the competition and pocket the championship purse of $15! There were 5 total entrants putting in a total of $5 each to play in this high-profile, stressfull tournament. Second place went to non other than Danger Q himself, bringing in a respectable $10 purse. The host of the tournament finished on the bubble. Arky V finished 4th. Newcomer Doc Juan was the first to bust.
Announcements will be made when the next round of the CPO is scheduled (when Katie, aka The Poker Widow, says it is alright for us to come play at her house again).

Right move?
This is from several days ago... one of my 0-fer-7 streak. Middle stages, 6 players left, I'm 4th in chips. Make 3xBB raise from UTG+1. Get raised to a total of 7xBB.

6 Max Followup
I sat down at .05/.10, 6 Max ring game this morning to try to clear some of my bonus money.
First pocket was AA.
I raise 4xBB, get two callers, flop comes rainbow garbage and I get one guy to go all in with me. He couldn' t lay down his 66 with two overs on the board. I have $10 in my stack and I fluctuate between $8 and $12 over the next hour. On my last hand I get JJ and the big stack shark at the table raises 9xBB. I put him on something good but he had been aggressive with marginal hands so decide to call and get out if I don't hit my set. Flop comes Jxx rainbow. I check, he bets, I raise, he calls. I bet a little on the turn and a little more on the river and each time he calls. He turns over AA and I take down a $20 pot. "Wheeeeee!"
I liked playing at the 6 Max table. There were basically three of us who seemed to know what we were doing and we took turns taking money from new people sitting down, playing too aggressively and busting out after 20 minutes.
Here's a hand from the middle of all the action that I was particularly proud of. It wasn't a huge pot but it holds up with my assessment that that players at UB are (on average) tighter than the ones at Absolute and will lay down good cards to an inferior hand on occassion.

In other news:
1. I am now, officially, a break even poker player online over my entire career. That is NOT counting bonus money.
2. I am going to try the $5 SNGs and report back after 5 tourneys.
3. My New Year's resolution was to get my BR from $150 to $450. In the month of January I am up to $181.25. I have to feel good about that because that increase represents a lot of $1 and $2 SNGs and play at $.05/$.10 ring games. Hopefully, as I move up to $5 SNGs, that will go up a little faster. Also, my NY resolution requires me to win $25/month on average and I am ahead of that curve at this point just a tiny bit.
4. Bonus money on UB clears VERY slowly at the .5/.10 tables. I was involved in a lot of raked pots today and I cleared a little over a dollar of my bonus.
First pocket was AA.
I raise 4xBB, get two callers, flop comes rainbow garbage and I get one guy to go all in with me. He couldn' t lay down his 66 with two overs on the board. I have $10 in my stack and I fluctuate between $8 and $12 over the next hour. On my last hand I get JJ and the big stack shark at the table raises 9xBB. I put him on something good but he had been aggressive with marginal hands so decide to call and get out if I don't hit my set. Flop comes Jxx rainbow. I check, he bets, I raise, he calls. I bet a little on the turn and a little more on the river and each time he calls. He turns over AA and I take down a $20 pot. "Wheeeeee!"
I liked playing at the 6 Max table. There were basically three of us who seemed to know what we were doing and we took turns taking money from new people sitting down, playing too aggressively and busting out after 20 minutes.
Here's a hand from the middle of all the action that I was particularly proud of. It wasn't a huge pot but it holds up with my assessment that that players at UB are (on average) tighter than the ones at Absolute and will lay down good cards to an inferior hand on occassion.

6 max
Anyone ever tried 6-max limit games? I'm experimenting with it some at low stakes (5/10 cent) as a way to work on clearing UB bonus money - you earn points much faster than on the full $25 NL tables and for far less risk. So far I'm doing pretty well (finishing a session up more often than down), not that I have a great deal of idea yet of how to correctly play shorthanded limit games differently... but neither do my opponents, I think... and it sure is fun. Lots of action.

One of those nights
I strayed from Absolute's $6 SNGs tonight to try Party and UB $10s again and was, I believe, given cause for a minor whine at least (indulge me). Two bad beats at Party to start me out and I've got that good frustrated/ticked off feeling going on but decide to try my luck at UB again, and, well...

River (board: 5c 5h 2d Qh Qd): (#%@#! mother of #^%#@ $*&#! I had my own private Mike Matusow moment here, good thing y'all missed it.)
And just in case I didn't get the message of the evening, the hand I actually went out on a few moments later, in 4th place of course, I had top pair on the flop and on the turn against an opponent holding Ace high, and the river, don't you know, was an Ace.
Argh. Just one of those nights that forces you to go to bed with a burning rage in your heart and a deeply aggrieved sense of injustice, like you used to feel back when you actually thought you gave a sh*t about the exploited working classes suffering under the yoke of imperialistic capitalist tyranny. You know?

Status Update 2
Well, my tournament stretch is the exact opposite of Shane's. I'm playing more of them and I'm having my best month ever. I started off the month bad (1 for 7). Since then, I'm 19/28 in $10.00, 1 /1 in $5.00 and 0/1 in $20.00. ..and I've currently placed in 5 out of 6 (1st twice). This makes me up $197.00 in tournaments this month. I'm thinking I might have to move up to $20.00 if this keeps up.
Status Update
Well, I didnt quit poker. I decided that I would move to tournaments only for a while. That way when I tilt there is a limit to how much I can lose. I can say that it has helped. I havent been getting personal as much. I have been playing my hands rather than trying to bust the asshole.
That being said, the poker gods are pissed that I have a child. I am still losing. Here is a list of my finishes on Ultimate Bet over the last few days. These are all $10 NL Holdem tourns: 4th, 3rd, 3rd (Not terrible so far, huh?), 5th, 7th, 5th, 5th, 4th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 10th, 4th, 4th, 4th, 4th. Lets add to that the 5th place finish when Idecided to play the $20 tournament. If we calculate all my losses for tournaments played on UB for the month of January you get a grand total of $158.00. This is now about equal to the amount I had lost on the ring tables before I posted my first whining blog. So, here is part 2. Still whining.
There is a slightly tarnished silver lining I guess. I am up on Party playing the $5 tournaments. I am too lazy and frustrated to calculate it, but I think I am up around $60 or $70 on that site. Also, I still have enough bankroll to play a few more $10 tourns on UB. Although another night like tonight will make me drop down to the $5.
I guess that is all for now. I will post when I go broke of course.
