New look, you like?

Was bored so started playing around with a new look, and in the middle of labeling all my posts. You like? Comments/Suggestions. Am I missing anything?

GSP = Ship It!!!

George St. Pierre owns Matt Hughes!
Complete destruction. Can't believe Hughes goes down twice cause a toenail flicked his balls. I don't think anybody can take the belt away from GSP!

RIP Steve Irwin

RIP Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter. Crikey thats some terrible news, I enjoyed watching his programing. I think that if I grew up in Australia, I'd be very much like him. I'm an animal lover, especially the dangerous and reptillian variety. At least he left the earth doing something he loved.

I shouldn't have played yesterday. 4-5hrs of pretty much wasted time. Finished at break even, +/-$5 or so. What a waste of time. Should have stuck to playing some new xbox game I picked up, Saints Row. Supposed to be some Grand Theft Auto clone/killer. Pretty cool so far, just finished stealing ho's from other pimps. My character doesn't really look like me though, not like Tiger Woods where I could make it pretty close.

I'm so jealous

Congrats go out to hit21hit / Timex for taking home $330k, yes thats right, $330k for his Paradise Power Final Table showing. It was a $1million stt rewarded to Power leaderboard winners. Each player was guaranteed $10k, and the $1mil was choppable 3 handed. 3 handed, he had 27% of the chips and in 2nd place, but managed to negotiate $310k for himself. They played it out with the winner taking home the final $20k, which he won. This shows the power of building a bankroll through poker and casino whoring. Even as late as early this year, hit21hit was casino whoring. Built up his bankroll, started training and practicing his mtt play, and now look at him. Probably $400k in tourney winnings this year, P5 Triple Crown winner, and don't be surprised if he makes the top 10 by the end of the year.

In terms of my tourney play, it stinks. Played the FTOPS event#6, NL6handed - Deepstack. Was playing pretty solid, started building up my stack, until the last hand before the break. Sitting at 5700 chips, I find AQ utg, after just transferring to this new table. I should have just laid it down and taken my shit, instead I 4xbb and I get 2 callers. Flop comes Q53, and SB leads out with a almost pot bet. Now I decide to tango with this big stack and double his bet. Other guy folds, and then this guy pauses and reraises. I lay down TPTK, and he tells me he had 53 as they were joking about that hand before. I told him I had JJ.

A few hands later I find myself with AK in lp. Same big stack limper, I raise, BB calls, and limper calls. Flop comes KT9. Check, check, 3/4 bet. BB calls, limper folds. Fock this guy has QJ. But stubborn me bets the turn anyways, BB goes allin, and I call. QJ. Game over. That sucked, my gut was right and I didn't listen to it. Was confident before playing this event too, I love the short handed game.

Piece of shit computer

I come home and my main computer doesn't turn on. There was a big storm in my area, might have killed something. The light on my motherboard doesn't turn on. Must be fried. That or my power supply isn't working. Any way to test other than putting my toungue on the end of it? :) Prob my motherboard though. What a waste of $. Stupid Asus, not even 2 years old either.

Blogroll Additions + New Cash Game Challenge (What's my level?)

First of all, if you read this blog and I haven't added you, please leave a message in my comments. There's a few that I've read in the past and been meaning to add, i'm just lazy and forgetful.

Since everybody else has some sort of cash game challenge, I might as well start one myself. It will be 2 challenges mixed into one, and the goal is to find my most profitable level.

The rooms: Either UB,Paradise, Party, or PokerShare
Game Type: 1 NL table, 1 limit table (Not enough action on PL)
The Limit: Starting at $50 buyin.
Moving up: Once I double up on my limit table or quadruple up on my NL table, I move up.

This challenge is for both Full Tables and 5/6 max short handed tables. If I bust, I start over again. I might change my moving up levels, might be too low to moveup, but I also don't want to to be a long challenge or else I might lose interest. :)

Was thinking of doing a sitngo challenge, but I might as well just play Rios or Steps if I'm going to do that.

Video Games - Poker on the backburner?

Yesterday the only online video game series that I have played religously came out, Socom 3. Army/navy type game where you utilize teamwork and tactics to win. Part 2 of this took a backseat when I started playing more online poker, so I find it funny that the roles are now being reversed again. I'll finish my Empire reload, maybe play some Paradise, a couple tournies this month, Casino monthlies, and that will be it for gambling for Oct, unless a new PSO promo comes out soon! This game gets pretty addictive, and so far its pretty badass!

Party Split

So Party finally did it and split from their skins. Very curious to see how they rank now in terms of players. Don't know how accurate it is, but stats are still showing it as having double the # of active players than #2 (Poker Stars).

Played on the old network (Empire) over the weekend. Pots are smaller, hands are not being raked as frequently as before. Still a good place to play though, especially for me clearing a nice $100 5x bonus that Empire through into my inactive account! Cashed out of Eurobet. Had a rakeback account there, but only use that account to play SnGs. Don't imagine they will be as juicy anymore.

Finished the Bet365 reload as well. Small profit + the $100 bonus, so I enjoyed it. Hopefully they do it next month as well.

Casino wise, halfway through the Victor Chandler and Littlewoods bonuses. So far so good. Not too many new casino offers popping up, might have to do some other reloads like Will Hill.

While catching up on season 1 episodes of Lost, noticed I still had Noble Poker installed on my laptop. Forgot I left $1.xx in account, so just played a short $1 turbo 6 player sng. Came in 3rd, so no $. What I still don't get, so many AA, KK limpers. I guess thats why they play $1 tournies.

Sept 29: Damn Internet

Cable and Internet down for about 3 hours yesterday. Was going to play in a tourney at 9pm, so that didn't work out. Luckily Hollywood Poker servers crashed so nothing happened there either. :)

Lost £25 yesterday at BetandGame. Blackjack was taken off their site. Played Pai Gow and Baccarat. Bet on the banker, banker sucked. Never got the bonus from them as they got bombarded from a bunch of "Bonus Abusers" Somehow they revoked all withdrawals made, and took the $ back from player's neteller accounts. Wow, this will be interesting.

Pokerstars tourney looks pretty cool though!

Previous Bankroll: $12,950
Night's earnings: -$50

My Online Gambling History
"But poker is not gambling, it's a game of skill if you're good" Shut Up, only those who want others to think they know what they're talking about say that. Poker is gambling, plain and simple, and I love it! :) Mix some skill in it, and it's all good!

My first online poker experience was in May 2004 though Party Poker courtesy of PokerSourceOnline. I didn't really want to play online poker, all I wanted was a free chipset! I struggled a bit, lost $20, cashed out, received my chipset within the week. Score!! What a promo, $20 for a chipset, which at that time were $100+.

I didn't play again until one of PSO's next promos in August: a nice poker table top through Gaming Club to go along with my chipset. Came out of there with a nice profit, and my free gift.

The rest is history, $1000+ free gifts from PSO, bankroll is now $12k+, and everything from now on will be in writing.
