Well, almost two weeks since my last efforts to have some “fun” at the online gamb00ling thing. The break was good for me, but once I logged on for the first time again pokerstars didn’t make it easy on me. I suffered some fugly coolers and beats early on and I was on the verge of going on stone cold tilt and really dusting it off. Good thing for me that I kept my shite in order and was able to comeback. Once I won the final headsup match (flopping quads), I knew I had it made for the day and logged off immediately. Now I’ll enjoy some quite time/sleep…long weekend of relaxing ahead of me (easter…so tomorrow and monday are bank holidays, wheee)…gl at the tables…

Nope, still no return to online pohka…but there was a home game tonight. Wheeee. First the first bbq of the new year…yummy…then some good ole poker action. Eleven new and old donks saddled up and over 3 hours we were in the money (top three). I was sitting second in chips after coming to the final table with roughly 4BB. But still, the chipleader was a mile away. I put away player number three when he limped in the SB…I looked down at snowmen in the BB and it was an easy shove for me. He thought about it for a bit, but there was no real possibility there for him to fold, he was already commited with the limp and the huge blinds. So he called with K2o promptly flopping a king…the turn brought one of the remaining eights to leave him drawing dead – just to rub it in the dealer peeled off a King on the river giving me the boat to his three kings.

Headsup was a quick afair. Three hands in we got it all in the middle – the blinds were huge and I was at a 1:5 chip-deficit, so when my opponent shoved on the button I only had to look at one card…it was a King and I snap-called. My K9o wasn’t in that bad a shape, he showed A6o…and Ace on the flop was enough to hold me off so I took second place. Not bad the way I’ve been running recently (on- and offline)…so I’ll take it, a good evening with friends, nice bbq and some pohka…I like…alrighty…that’s all for now…I’m outta here, time to catch some sleep. Good luck at the tables…and cya next time…

Don’t expect to find any new poker content soon around here. Today was the session that put me over the edge. I got junk kicked so often I don’t even remember all the sick nasty fucking beats I took. All I know is that within the first 30 hands I got beat out of 3 pots for all the marbles getting three outered each and every fucking time (A7 vs K7 on a 7 high board; KQ vs K7 on an ace high board with a king, and QJ vs Q5 on a queen high board). Fucking A pokerstars fucking A. Now that all is said and done I lost about 50% of my roll in the course of this year so far. It’s one of those nice stretches when no matter how ready you are, no matter how good you play, no matter how endlessly stupid your opponents are…in the end they win….and of course the house wins…surprise…fucking brilliant. I won’t participate any longer in this bs…it used to be fun…but now it’s only misery anger and pain…so I quit…let’s see how long I can stay away from the game I love…but for now I would say: it could be a while…

Keep up the good fight…if you’ve got the nerves and balls to get kicked in just them over and over again…it’s been fun…while it lasted…see you all on the other side….Ingoal signing out…

That’s about all I have to say about tonight…oh…that and pokerstars you owe me three hours of my life you fucking dickwads…I’m outta here…

Well…that’s all I have to say…gotta get offline to clean my keyboard…it’s full of puke…good night…

Well what can I say…poker playing times have been sparse these days and when I played a few matches I really felt like playing. Felt is the right word…in the other sense…as I was down to it more often than not. I won’t lie about making the occasional bad play here and there, steamed up or not, but the last few months have been brutal. I already dusted off 40% of my roll in 2009 and the junk kicks don’t seem to stop. I just can’t put a winning session in the books anymore. Oh well, I guess you gotta take the bad with the good…so I leave you with three of the beautiful hands of the night and catch some good good sleep…as I won’t lose any over this bs…

Played some headsup matches today and about the only time I had fun was teasing and busting a supernova. I can only imagine how he ended up at the 11$ tables, but judging based on his play (e.g. donk calling an all-in with A2 s00000ted) I would say, well…who knows…

Apart from that one I’ve been in cooler-town, USA all day. I mean if you play headsup you’re bound to find yourself in second best vs best hand situations a lot…although I’m not talking about nuts vs second nuts hands here…anyway…managed to run Queens into Kings, Kings into Aces…along with the usualy 30% = 100% against me hands and that was that…chop chop chop the opponent down…then get kicked in the junk…lose…oh well…I’m outta here…

My day in poker…

…that is all…

That about sums it up…played some matches and an MTT…so and so, about breakeven again…sigh…oh well…I’m going to cool down now for tonight’s homegame…live poker…yay!

Well, it’s been a week since I last played, so I decided to play a little today…nothing spectacular to report. Won most of my matches…enjoy the random pic dump and I’m outta here…oh before I forget, the next home game will be next saturday…one week until I can finally play some live poker again…wheeee…looking forward to it…
