Tournies Today

Played the MSOP EVent #2, busto in like 1800th place.

Played some tournies on Tower, came 19th in 20$ 6max tourny, 235 entrants for 47$. wooo
Ran so poorly towards the end again, no cards whatsoever, with someone sweating me as well.

Friday off Work Results....

SO I got to stay home and play some cards today after recieving a call from work citing my services were not required today.

I played 4 tournies, cashing in one, and bubbling in two.

The first bubble occured when I shoved Q2suited from to me OTB with 11bb with 84 left, 70 paid, and was hellmuth snapcalled by a player with 31bb with K4o. He flopped a 4 and I was elimed. Obv, I shoved Q2 and lost, poor me. But I was flabbergasted that he called me with K4.

Anyways, the other bubble was when I raised in EP with AK, with 36k sitting in 21/77, with blinds at 500/1000. I am reraised by the button, and I shove overtop, we race his QQ to my AK and he turns a QQ to gg me.

I chilled with come people and at around 2am decide to play some 100NL, just for like an hour or so before I call it a night, results:

100NL Results

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


the session was pretty weak.
I played like shit, ran poorly, and just wasn't into it.
I'll play after dinner, yay sushi!

100NL today

we'll see how it goes, up a buyin after 300 hands.

Tournaments Suck

Reminded once again why tournaments are the devil.
And should be ignored.

Played the 3r, ran well at the beginning, got to 90k and then never saw a quality hand again.
standard i know.

like i got AQ and some other marginals, but nothing in position.


I came 29th and cashed for $35 and change, I was in for 9$. w00t.

Playing some Tournaments

starting with the 3$ rebuy on ftp, and we'll see where it takes me.

Real Life Work

OMG I work in my father's companies office.
It's hell.
I am so friggin bored I want to stab myself with something just to feel alive.

I haven't even really entered the work world and already I can't stand it.

I was talking to an interwebz friend who is going to move to Costa Rica, that sounds so good to me. He was telling me about the freedom, and disconnection from the standard 9-5, MTV, CNN lifestyle we live here. It sounded like heaven.

Basically this is just a rant displaying my displeasure for the 9-5 life.
And i'm making 21$/hour, which is pretty good wage for a 22 year old imo.
I have friends working for half that, and I can't understand how they do it week in week out.
They must privately be crying in their rooms or something, and they msut want better for themselves.

Anyways, that's it for now.
Time to do some more data entry.

Interesting Quote

A guy I recently met on the interwebz through the WCGrider prop bet recently sent an interesting quote:

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon, is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything (all external expecations, all pride, all fear of embarassment or failure) these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is trully important. Remembering that you are going to die, is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
(Steve Jobs)

He's an interesting fellow, and I think this says a lot about him.

Background Info

After making some cashouts I currently have 1870$ in my account on Tower Gaming, an OnGame skin.
I will grind 100NL until I reach at least 4k, but most likely 5k, before i give 200NL a go.

I also plan on giving some tournaments a go at some point in June, so we'll see how that goes.

w00t i has a blog!

Hello,

Welcome to my blog.
I've never done this before, and Can't really see any reason why anyone would be looking at this right now.
I'm gonna be tracking my poker results in here.

GLGL me.
