This next hand had a nasty river too.... Liverpools played AA like a tard and realchin likes to push for 42 bbs I guess, but we probably get all the chips in preflop here anyways if Liverpools raises standard and I reraise standard.. if this would've happened, I maaaaaay could have laid AK down, but I woulda been getting well over 2 to 1 after they push and AK looks good against these donks preflop.... I'd gamboooool with it in these turbo sngs way more times than not.... I was just tooooooo lucky here.... 3 outer for the win....

My goal is to get my total profit on Sharkscope (in stars obv) up to $10k by the time I leave for Biloxi (Feb 29th)... You can follow along on there and sweat me lol. Oh and I tripped and slammed my head into the door frame yesterday... Went to the ER and got 3 stitches in my head, but they didn't have to shave any hair off... I run goooooood :)

Single session heeeeeater...

Just went on a heater in a 6 game session of 6-man $39 turbos... Busted in 2 of em, won 4 of em... I think only once I was chipleader going into HU play... I caught some cards too obv.... Funny thing about it is I lost 2 big coinflips and a 70/30 (me being 70 obv) in this session... two of those hands eliminating me.... I'm going to Biloxi the last weekend of Feb, so hopefully I can make something happen there... I plan on taking anywhere from 1k-2k with me... If I take 2k, I'm going to start with some 3/5 NL, buying in for the $500 max... If I take around 1k, I'll probably stick to 1/2 NL... I think Beau Rivage is having a 20k guaranteed tourney on Sat and Sun, $340 buyin.... I wanna say one day has the 20k guarantee and the other has a 15k, or maybe none... Either way I think both days have a $340 nl tourney... I'm excited about playing in those, as I've final tabled my last 2 tourneys in Biloxi... only thing that sucks is that all the old men (this is Biloxi remember) aaaaalways wanna chop at the final table... This seems strange, as most of the old guys have mucho dinero and the money shouldnt matter that much... I didn't want to chop last time, but I wasn't going to be that one guy who pisses everybody off.. Oh well... Also, I'll probably be going down to New Orleans for the WSOP Circuit either in May or Sept... (its down there both times for some reason)... I'll only be playing about 3 tourneys or so, buyins ranging from 300 to 500 or so, I'm not balla enough for the main event obv!!!! lol.. well thats it for now... If anybody wants to make the trip (Alex obv!! probably only one who reads this blog!) let me know... oh yeah... just purchased a nice black ipod classic for 27,000 VPPs at stars.. hopefully I'll have it by Biloxi... 160 gb.. sick!

Quick Update....

Been doing pretty well in the $39 6-man turbos on stars lately. I also made a nice run in the $12 Daily Double B tourney on full tilt a few nights ago. There were about 1300 or so entrants and I played pretty well. Once we got into the money it was late, so I either wanted to accumulate quickly or just bust and go to bed... I won with 33vsKK, 88vsJJ, and QQvsAA all in preflop.... soooo sick..ive never done that 3 times in atourney before... only once i was allin though, with the qq... Coming down the stretch, I also won a big allin on a 5 6 7 flop with 99 vs AA... river 8... Well I ended up HU with a guy, my 2 mil to his 600k.... then gayness ensued like always... I got him all in with my A5 vs his KQ and he won... then got him all in again with my 77 vs his A5 and he flopped the wheel... it was sickening.... I got 2nd obv, cause I just cant win a tourney... but $1500+ was nice... So I like MTTs lately... I only seem to do well in them on full tilt tho for some reason... well im leaving to go skiing for the weekend up in tennessee... laterrrrrrr!
