Nov 29th

Well I am going to try to make a longer post right now, even post a few hands...

First about the weekend, it was good but tiring for sure, the drive on Friday night almost killed the us the next day our eyes were burning, going on about 15mins of sleep... We never saw anything really big, but the weather really was a factor, the deer were just not moving, the trees still held so much food they did not need to go look for it, it's time to start looking for a different method to hunt, I am thinking about getting some baits started on back home and setting up some ground blinds... Looking forward to this weekend because we are headed back to the mountains again!! Going to give it a little harder this weekend, I took it pretty easy last trip out...

Ok on to Poker, I went 9-3 tonight. Should have been 10-2 one really sick hand played out, he caught a 2 outer after the flop, here is the hand... never mind no hands... since I got a new computer I forgot to select record hands... Anyway I had KQ flop K98 all diamonds, he bets I raise all in he calls with 10 J NO DIAMONDS!! I have the Q of diamonds... so he has 2 cards to catch... and the Q hearts come on the river.. so sick hehe.. That would have ended the match...

Other then that I ran KK into AA once, but that's going to happen after 18,000 hands... Still nothing wrong with 9-3 just over 2 hours or work..... The players have still been pretty weak, I played one guy with some good stats today but he was not much of a match... Not to be cocky but there is not one person I am really scared to play as long as it's at my level, durrr, ivey, PA bring it on!! haha I will play anyone..

Anyway... maybe I will go watch a movie and clean the house a little.., I am pretty much packed for the weekend already...

Nov 27th

Destroyed the tables today... 17-7! Was playing my best as well, I made a few folds that I normally would not, like top pair, and even bottom 2 pair. Both times that I made those folds I ended up winning both games... Really needed a day like today to really get the confidence going. The rest of the weekend will be a non-poker weekend, going to so some hunting and some drinking!! I'll be back at it on Monday, play a couple of days next week and then next Thursday head to Edmonton for a night and then to Valemount for some more sledding for the weekend!!

Stats are updated as of tonight.

Nov 26th

Well I had my biggest losing streak to date... I started off 0-11 and then at one point was 1-13 and then 2-15... I was playing REALLY well and I told myself I am sitting down and not walking away until I was up 2 games, I was SOO happy with the way I handled the streak and the bad beats... I ended up 27-25!! The is the biggest session I have put in but not the most time... Playing two tables at once has been a good thing so far... Even though I have a profit of just over $2,000 that does not include the bonuses I have been clearing as well as rakeback... I have now cashed out over $2200. It's been great!! Don't feel like writing anymore time for some Heroes and then bed... I need to get up at a good hour tomorrow and get ready for the weekend of hunting and drinking, we will try to do the 2 things seperate from each other...

Wed Nov 25th

Just played a quick 15 min sessions tonight, played two games at once, two complete fish and took both games down... Pretty much the easiest $60's I have ever made. It is honestly unreal how bad some of these people are. What I do not understand is where does the money come from? One guy has lost over $30,000 in 2,000 games, you think it might be time to find a new hobby? I will never tell any of these people that they suck, whenever they type something in the chat box it's better to just tell then ya I got lucky or really tough break... NEVER let someone know that they suck at Poker unless they are your friend and you don't want to take their money. But these strangers that are going to give their money away, I will be there to help to find a home for it. I can put it to good use... Anyway, work tomorrow and looks like I will have Friday off, so I will put in a SUPER long sessions between tomorrow after work and Friday before hunting... I am thinking like a 10-12 hour session, of course there will be some breaks in between...

My graph is starting to climb again and I am keeping my win rate around the $30/hr... I know a lot of people that would kill to have the money I make in part time work as their full time job... If they ever make Online Poker legal in the states, you could really make some good money doing this...

Goodnight all!

Nov 24th

The fish were out in Full Force last night and I took good advantage of it, there was NOT one person who showed themselves as a winning player on Sharkscope. I ended up 9-3. I didn't play a lot of games, we fooled around in some MTT's as well, and I got too bored in one that I was starting to make it deeper into and pretty much bluffed all my chips away. I didn't really care to much haha... I only grinded for a few hours, I am hoping to put in a few hours tonight and then we might have Friday off due to holidays in the USA so I am hoping to put in a few hours there before we leave for the weekend to go hunting... I know these posts have been short and boring but I have NO time for anything right now, these last 5 weeks have gone by faster then you can imagine, and it looks like I will not be slowing down for at least the next two weekends...

Weekend and Monday Nov 23rd

I have not played since thursday and do not plan on playing at all tonight... I will get back into things tomorrow, I am going to only cash out $100 now everytime I make $200 and work my bankroll up the $1600 so I can start playing the 50's and see how that goes...

Nov 18th

Can't sleep, I really should be sleeping... Aye yi yi... Tonight was kind of a bust for poker.. Was 11-11 so because of last nights 3-0's I did make some money but I am short of my $2000 goal in 4 weeks, if I count bonuses and rakeback I am over $2000... I just can't get any win streaks going... I am playing good though, I feel at the top of my game... I like my part-time job not gonna lie... If I can make almost $2000 a month that will be a great 2nd income...

Well I better get to bed, off to the mountains tomorrow for some sledding, really excited for this, because I never got out at all last year...

Nov 17 cont.....

I am updating the Graph as well... I just played 3 games... I was playing 2 at once, this is something I am sure I can bring back into my game again since I am refocused on what I am doing... I went 3-0 this will all count for the 18th but I had a goal to make $2000 in 4 weeks and I am very close now so I will try to get a few games in tomorrow after I am ready and packed to leave straight from work on Friday....

Nov 17

Really have not wanted to write on here too much as of late and that will change sooner or later but for right now, just a quick update again. 28-21 for the day... I just have not been able to get anything rolling, I need one of my eight game winning streaks again. I have been playing well just not running good at all really... Flopped a few flushes today only for the guy to catch a Full House by the River....

Might get a few games in tomorrow but other then that nothing till Monday, because I am off to the mountains for the weekend!!

WOOO!!!

Nov 16

Quick post just to update stats, 5-3 tonight, was planning on putting in a big sessions but 5 games took almost 2 hours and I just wasn't feeling good, hope I'm not coming down with something... Need to put in a really good long session tomorrow and then I will be done till next Monday...

Goodnight all!

Nov 15

Ended up playing 2 hours longer then I wanted to, but I had a live one on the line... I ended up going 16-9 against him and 18-12 for the night. This guy wanted to play more but I really need to try to get to sleep... The night started off really bad going 2-4 and I was getting run OVER!! Then a few hands started to hold and the night turned out good...

Could post a lot more but I need to unwind a little bit...

Stats are updated though...

Nov 13-14-15

Only played 4 games on Friday went 2-2, did not play on Saturday or Sunday, going to try to sit down for a 2 hour session now....

Thursday Nov 12th

12-15 Gross See Hands why I am not writing much, little grumpy with the way the session went, felt like I played well though...

First Hand!!



Complete Fish after like 120 hands in!! He has been shoving EVERYTHING!!



Lost sooo many coin flips when I needed to double up or to finish the match off..



Bad play by me? No I think I played it quite well, look what hand looks me up!!
Wonder why this game is profitable...



Gross??? Yes it is!!



I know when to pick my spots, check this guys flop call?? Huh Really??



This last one is vs a guy that I have played 23 games and I am 15-8 vs him




Oh well!! could be worse.. I did start out like 4-10...

This does not tilt me at all while I am playing anymore, and it feels good to post some of these hands after... Don't get used to the bad beats crying!!

Wed Nov 11th

Day Off!! Nothing better then a Day off! Just to kick back and relax. It is a day to remember though as we have a lot of be thankful for! Who knows how things would have turned out if our soldiers didn't fight for us...

Anyways on to Poker played for just under 2 hours today. The day was used for a day of relaxing more then anything, I got caught up on Heroes, V and Dexter. Ok back to Poker today was good went 9-3 Started off 5-0 the first game that I lost was a hand that I could have gotten a way from and and as soon as he made the raise I said to myself he turned two pair, my 2 pair is no good now, but I made the call anyway... That would be the only hand I could have really gotten away from... Below are a few hands I played tonight...



So this is the hand that I flopped two pair, actually I was too deep into the pot to fold, I could have checked the turn to keep the pot smaller and then called the river if the best was not too big... (depending on what I put him on)



This hand I got lucky in, the only reason I called the turn bet was because I put him on the straight and if the board pairs for me I win all his chips, I actually put him on a 2 and not 67 that would be why his riverbet was SOO large he thought for sure if I had anything it was a 2, this was also the first hand of the match...




These are the hand that really hurt, when you have your opponent all in for all his chips and they win when they are only 30% This guy came back on me twice before I was able to finish him off...




This game right here is the perfect example of the style I can play, be very aggressive and then sooner or later they are going to get sick of all the 3 betting they will shove on you when you actually have a hand...





Well time to put away some clothes watch some Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men and then to bed...

Really looking forward to picking my sled up this weekend! As well as going home to help my parents out and see my puppy.... Dessa!!!

Tuesday Nov 10th

WOW!! That's all there is to it, if you are getting run over and you are not playing at the top of your game that is a bad combination... I went 16-17 tonight, big deal hey? Feels like I went like 5-30. Poker is such an emotional game, or wait, job! This game can do things do you that you can not get from any sport, drug, alcohol; it can put you on the highest highs and the lowest lows. The lows come from the high and the highs come from the lows, make sense? Just picture this you have just bought a lottery ticket and you read the numbers and you get the first one WRONG right away and you like shit, but then you hit the next five giving you a nice pay day and an emotion that went from low to high in the matter of seconds, now picture it the other way around, you match up the first 5 numbers and you like WOW this is my day and then BANG the 6th number is wrong and leave you with only 100K instead of the 10 million yes it's still a lot of money but something inside your heart feels like it just had something ripped away from it. So I am about to go through my hand histories here and I'm going to dig up some sick sick beats, so just sit back and click play and you can watch yourself how my night went....

WOW there is one of those high to lows again, I was looking forward to posting all those hands, well I had played on the big screen tonight and my Lap Top is not setup to save hand histories...

Not too happy about that, I will get that changed so I can be posting more hands...

So tonight I ended up down one buy in of $30 plus $48 of rake... Stats are updated on the side as usual, this is just a small bump in the road and I will start rolling again... I have always said that if I can maintain an hourly rate of $25 I would be happy...

Monday Nov 9th

Well I didn't play much today... A)because I got a lot around done around the house; hung my TV, cleaned the whole kitchen, set my speakers up better in the living room, made a nice fish and brown rice supper B) Even though I had a record of 5-2 I felt I just was not playing my best. I went on a 3 game winning streak and decided that since I was not on the top of my game I would call it a night, I will go watch the rest of a movie where they hijack the train, forget what it is called but it's pretty good so far... Stats and graph are updated on the side as usual... Home this weekend to go get my sled and then I can bring it here to get the tunnel polished!! Pretty stoked about that!!

Actually I want to try one more thing I am going to see if I can add a hand I played tonight in some kind of hand history re-player... We will see how it works, and if it does my blog will be even better!!



NICE!! Pretty pumped up that I got it to work now just hit play and watch the hand play out... I really felt like I was ahead the whole time and would have called a bet on the river, when he checked to me I felt like he had no Pair, or a small pair... I bet 250 to get a call, I could have got away with about 350 I am sure... This really was the turning point of this match and it tilted him to do this two hands after...



What a monkey!!!

Good night all!!

Sunday Nov 8th

Well, I am human, I had a losing day, well I had a winning day for a record 13-12 but lost to $7.50 because of the rake... After rakeback I would actually be up $3.00!! haha I played really well, I was very happy with my play all day actually, my hands would just not hold... I would get it all in AK vs A9 lose, then like 88 vs 77 and lose... Or sometime I would hit a set, they would turn a straight, or I flop two pair and they flop a set... My average hands were 48 hands a game today, which is very high so it shows how each game was a complete GRIND!! Hey it's the only part time job where you can go to work for almost 6 hours and come home with less money then you started the day with... I am still averaging over $44/hr in the 30 HU SNG's but the 50's I lost in bring me down to almost $39 a hour... It will be interesting to see what my rate is after 1000 games and at this rate that will be sometime in Jan...

Well for this week we get WED off so there will be some poker being played that day. The WSOP main event table is playing right now as well, they are to heads up but I do not know any of the results. I have been staying away from anything that will tell me who wins, so it will be a surprise come WED... Not like someone I Know who HAD to go look!! haha Today I have been trying to hang my TV but my drill keep dying..

Well time to relax for a while maybe watch a movie then get to bed so I can be refreshed for work tomorrow... I am also going to start working out again this week, got to get ready for sledding season!

Saturday Nov 7th

Went to Regina today, never made it to the football game couldn't get a ticket to sit with my buddy so I didn't really feel like going... Went to the casino with my brother and dad, dropped like $50 on Black Jack, I really hate casino games almost no point... Came home was going to sit down for a session and got into one game and a buddy texted me to go for a few beers so I only got to play one game, which I won... The player made some REALLY loose calls, considering I did not show down any bluffs... He still had 1000 chips left at the 20-40 level and he 3x raised the button I pushed with AK and he snap called with A5, I held and won the match...

Good chance I play more when I get home from a few beers but it will count towards Sunday's session.. I plan on putting in like 6 hours tomorrow hopefully...

Friday Nov 6th

No games tonight went to the Free style sled show called Fire and Ice, it was good, and then went for some drinks with a friend. Looks like tomorrow will be zero games as well as I am headed to Regina for the day... Should be working on the virtual felt but I have WED off so I guess I will put more volume in then... Today marks the end of two weeks of playing so far and I am a little under my hours per week, but there is really no way I can play anymore without killing myself due to much work...

Peace Out!

Thursday Nov 5th

Well today marked a BIG day... I was pretty sick this morning so I had to call sick into work, I stayed in bed till noon... I woke up feeling a little better so I thought I would sit down and play some Poker, well by the end of the day I had put in 6 hours on the virtual felt and I......... CRUSHED!!! 32-16!! Nothing wrong with that record at all, gave me a profit of $408 for the day... The 3 hours I played in the afternoon went really well. I was 17-6 before sitting down for an evening session. Was not a lot of big hands that stood out really. I did see over 1200 hands today, which is quite a bit...

Well besides Poker I am pretty pumped for the sled show tomorrow night and then Saturday I will head to Regina to spend the day with my parents and then the evening with some friends and my brother... Really looking forward to having this extra poker money to pay off some bills and my parents. Once I am debt free besides my truck loan I am going to try to keep more money on the site and see how I do in the 50's... I know the games will get a lot harder in the 50's though and the 30's seem like the perfect game... WOW look at that somehow I ended up talking about Poker again.. Well better get to bed so I can get to work in the morning!

Oh ya one more thing, so we did a search on Shark Scope just since I started playing 1 game at a time, and it turns out I'm a SHARK! I am in the top 15% of all Heads Up Poker players!!

So ya I'm a shark, hey guess what?!?! I'm a shark!!


Good Night!
P.S I just wrote this whole thing with no Spelling mistakes!! haha!!

Wed Nov 4

Quick update, played a few games went 3-2 should have been 5-0, can't always run good... Right now I am trying to get involved with some of the coaching sites and make some videos... I got some really good free software that I am using right now for 30 days.

Going to put in a big session tomorrow and then take Friday off...

Nov 3rd

Going to be a quick update really... Crushed tonight... Like destroyed anyone that got in my way... 12-1!!! Mostly thanks to one guy that would not quit, 8-0 I had him so figured out I knew what he was going to do before he did plus he called a few of my bluffs which made him think I was bluffing every hand... He also ran his QQ into my AA, JJ into my QQ, but my hands held.. I am now over $1,000 profit, not to bad for 25hours of work.. making $41.41 a hour... I still believe this will be around $25 a hour but I will ride my hot streak for now... In the 30's I am actually like $50 a hour and $1200 in profit but the games I lost in the 50's bring me down...

Ok, I better get to bed because I have to get up to go to my actual job in the morning!!

Nov 2nd

WOW talk about a roller coaster!! I started the night at like 5-10, just getting RUN over like crazy!! I fop flop trips with a BIG kicker they would flop a full house, I would have AK they would have A8, they would double up then go on to win the match... So after the end of the first session I had played for 3 hours and was 9-11 so I made a nice comeback at least. I sit down to play the 2nd session and BANG 3 hands in run KK into AA... oh wait I had AA HAHA oh ya then King COMES!! arg....I ended that session at 2-1 though, it was a quick 19min session because I had supper going... THIS is where things got CRAZY!!! I went 6-3 against some loser, that I started 0-2 off with... The first game 1 hand, then 2nd 6, the 3rd game 3 hands, the 4th game 2 hands!! He could not help but push with the worse hand... I then played a little tighter and trapped him and went on to win 4 out of the next 5... This guy was INSANE!!! He wanted to keep playing but I choose to quit just because of the time I put in and I was getting tired... Guys like that you should really keep playing until they quit but this was one time I just could not do it anymore... I played for almost 4 hours and made a WHOPPING $3.04/hr!! WOOOO!! Hey better then a loss... Anytime I can run this bad and still break even you will not hear me complain...

So on another note I plan on putting in 5 hours tomorrow then taking it easy on WED, then going hard on Thursday and on Friday I am headed to Fire and Ice!! Freestyle snowmobiles!

Stats will be updated on the right as usual... See how my hourly rate is dropping like I figured..

Sunday Nov 1st

Well the new month started out with a bang... I got back from seeing my parents and my puppy around 4:30 ish.. I sat down to play off and on throughout the night. Played 3 sessions and going into session 3 I was 12-3 Was on a SICK tear... I ended up 16-9 Hit one slump of a 4 game losing streak... Overall I was playing really good, I made a few quick plays without thinking about it first but I can not be upset with the results from tonight. I am going to stick with the 30's for now, I think that the players are a lot weaker then the 50's and at the 30 level you still get a few players that are shark scoped as fish and have lost over $10,000 These are the players that make this sooo profitable.

The first game started off with a really tough opponent which went for 76 hands, this is about 40 hands over my normal game, I was able to take him down. The 2nd game I played also went for a while 50 hands, this guy was playing OK but I was just too aggressive for him and eventually took him down when he was getting desperate. From then on it was pretty easy opponents. One guy took FOREVER!! let his 15sec clock run down every hand, I am sure that some people see this as a strategy...

So other then Poker, getting pretty excited for the sledding season, I worked on my sled last night with my old man, the sled now has vents all over the place, as well as most of the decals ripped off, going to go with something custom. The sled is also going to go in to get the tunnel polished, it will look BAD ASS!! Pretty pumped for that... Other then that just spent some time on Saturday helping my parents get the house ready to put it on the market....

Stats as of today will be updated on the side as usual

Dream It!!
Believe It!!

Fir Oct 30/Sat Oct 31

Didn't play at all, about to sit down for a Sunday session though...
