Let's just say, blogging and/or playing poker has not been high on my priority list these days. After making some serious life altering decision (being a better Christian, focussing on working out and getting in shape, being with my kids and family more, etc.) poker moved way down the list as far as importance.
I had taken my roll offline and left about $100 on between PS and FT, which is exactly where I still am, with $65 on PS and $35 on FT.
With the wife going out of town on Saturday with the kids for 7 weeks, I am jumping back on the poker train. I will probably be multitabling 10NL buying in for $5 to start, and then see where we go from there.
Also, I plan on playing some of the $3 rebuy tournaments that I never seem to get a chance to play.
Also on my hit list is trying to qualify for a few of the FTOPS tournaments coming up and actually playing them instead of gaying out and taking the T$.
Hope we can get this ship running, will start updating frequently now.
GL everyone remaining in the Main Event!!

Downswing...
My downswing has now reached 8 buy-ins. I don’t know if it is a combination of loose play, getting bad beated, or what, but it definitely stinks. My roll has dropped to $400, and is only not closer to $300 because I won a $5 SNG on Full Tilt last night for $54. Other than that, cash has sucked, tournaments have sucked in general, and poker has not gone well.
Outside of poker, life is good, family is happy and healthy, job still exists, which is a blessing, my wife is making good money with her business, kids are doing well in school, my brother is in town for 2 months trying to figure out if he can move here for good or not, which is awesome.
5 days ago, I started P90X as well, which is a program put together by Tony Horton, and it’s 90 days of intense workouts, strict eating and 100% dedication. I am 5 days in, and even though I can’t physically see results yet, I can see how it works. It’s a rotation of strength and stretching exercises, where one day you are exhausted from your weight workout, the next day is 60 minutes of stretching, or kempo, or yoga, or something to soothe your body. The next day, you are raring to go for another strength exercise to get big.
I have decided to give it 90 days, and if it works like hell, I might do another 90 days to get even bigger, haven’t decided yet. We will see.
In other news, my best friend from high school is getting married up in Vancouver, BC in early May, so I have planned a week up there at that time. 7 days of just me and my dad, all the rest of my family here, a little poker, a little catching up with some friends I haven’t seen since graduation day 1997, and a bunch of R&R (and no work!)
I think I am going to move away from cash for a little while until I get my head straightened again, and just stick to some low-level SNGs for now, and see what happens. If I can snag myself a few tokens, I will play some tourneys as well, but don’t see that happening any time soon.
Hope everyone is well, good luck at the tables.

Down 1.5 BIs in the first 10 mins, and I end up 1.5BIs for the night
5-tabling again on FT last night. Again, trying to increase my aggression factor, play a lot of pots, raise at least 3 times per orbit, in order to get action when I do have good hands. Even though there are a lot of pots below that I won, there are many where I would lose 10-15BBs trying to be aggressive, re-raising people with nothing and getting played back at. But I guess that is the whole idea of being aggressive – to get action on your monsters.
Things were looking good to start when this hand came up, but of course I get screwed getting all my money in as a 3:1 favorite…
Fear_T_Rex: sry, thought that’s what you had, 50/50
By my calculations, I am 72% to win after that flop, but that is never good enough on FT, as demonstrated here on my next big hand that I get lucky on.
I am sure he had to be pretty sick about that one.
Here was a nice turn card for both of us that turned out to be better for me… :D
Then, I suckout here on the turn, although I don’t get all of the money in until then. Guy is way ahead on the flop and FT fucks him this time.
This one was like seeing the hottest girl in school, getting to make out with her, and then finding out it was your sister.
And then to end, here are the 3 sets that I hit in my session. The first one, I made some money, but not a lot. The last 2, both of my opponents insta-called my all-ins. And when I say instacall, I mean there wasn’t even a hesitation on either one. Of course, they are both drawing dead by the turn on both, and I am smiling all the way to the river.
So, I did win a lot of pretty big hands, but it cost me a lot of money being aggressive, and I ended up 1.5 BIs for the night. My roll between FT and PS is around $535, and my goal is to get up to $700 by the end of the month and switch to 25c/50c.
Thanks for reading, and good luck at the tables.

Down, then up, then up some more...
I was down nearly 2 buy-ins early in the session, mostly because I decided to be more aggressive in the session. I have been playing pretty passively, which as you know, doesn’t help you when you get big hands and raise, because everyone folds. So, I tried to take the lead on more hands.
It didn’t really work out well the first hand, as my 2 opponents had me drawing stone dead on the flop:
After that hand, things started working out a little better for me:
A brilliant limp with aces there gets the guy in trouble. Oh well, too bad for him. Then this is a fun hand. At first, I was dissapointed that I did not get all the money in on the turn, especially with that crappy river. But, that didn't stop the villain from calling my raise:
Then, I get it in here against aces as a 55/45 favorite and spike one of my many outs on the river:
Then, your standard donk re-re-raise with jacks. Um, what did you really think I had buddy, pocket nines??
Anyways, so I went from down nearly 2 buy-ins to up a little over a buy-in to end with a roll right around $500. A far cry from the $200ish bankroll from a few weeks ago.
Hope everyone is well, and good luck at the tables. I will get to a BBT4 tournament soon, but things are still too busy with my wife right now to even dream of playing for 4-5 consecutive hours right now. Congrats to all that have locked up a TOC seat. I hope to join you soon.

Poker-filled weekend
Got to play a lot this weekend, online and live. Online went pretty well, busted out of all my tournaments, but cash went steadily well. Here is the biggest hand that I won, which wasn’t that big, but overall I was up modestly for the weekend:
Full Tilt Poker Game #11036155773: Table Camel (deep) - $0.10/$0.25 - No Limit Hold'em
Seat 1: PJS JR ($33.05)
Seat 2: ClayChan ($25)

PJS JR wins the pot ($27.22) with a full house, Nines full of Aces
I ended the weekend with a bankroll of $464, up slightly from my last update. I was up near $500 at one time, but right at the end of my last session, I failed to get there with an open-ended straight and flush draw against a weak top pair for a $50 pot. That was disappointing.
Got to play some live poker last night, we don’t play a huge buy-in game, $20 gets you 200 chips and we play 1/2 which is essentially $0.10/0.20. Thing is, since we lowered the stakes, we always end up with more money on the table by the end of the night, because people constantly re-buy. By the end of the night, there was $650 on our 8-handed table, and only 3 people were up at the end of the night.
My highlights included a $140 3-way all-in pot on a board of Th6s4s4h, I was holding Q4 (one of my favorite hands) after calling a marginal bet on the flop from my opponents that held 5s7s and KK. We got it all in on the turn after I sucked out with trip fours and the river was the Ts. The flush chaser got excited, but realized quickly that he was beat with my full house.
After dwindling to 1200 in chips ($120) I got involved in another 3-way all-in against 1 player with 400 chips, the other with about 200 chips, all-in pre-flop holding twoblackaces against AhKh and AcQc. They were both drawing dead on the turn and I was up to 1800 ($180) I cashed out at the end of the night with 1700, one other guys had about 1500 and another player had over 1000. The rest of the table had chips, but lower amounts than they bought in for.
My wife was happy for the win, and that will allow me to plan another poker get-together in 2 weeks. I am now up $650 in the last 3 weeks playing live and at least $200 online, so it has been a nice run.
Hope everyone else is doing well. One bit of news from my side is that we are having huge layoffs at the end of this month, and nobody knows who is staying and who is going. It has been tense around here lately, and it will be interesting to see what happens. I feel 50% confident that I will stay, as I have huge support from our corporate headquarters in Houston, but one never knows in this economy.
Good luck at the tables everyone, see you next time.

Then I probably missed an opportunity on the turn to make some more money here, but took down a decent sized pot. Still can’t imagine why he called my re-raise with KQ:

Anyways, steady play has my FT account up to $260 plus a $26 token and I heven’t touched my PS account much, and have $130 there. So, all told, the roll is up to a hair over $400, so I am well on my way to building it back up.
Am going to try and play some of the BBT4, but opportunities to play 4-5 continuous hours are few and far between these days. We will see.
Thanks all for reading and good luck at the tables.

Blogging re-dedication
Although I have been hanging out reading a lot of blogs, I have been busy/lazy and have not updated my own. Now, the fact that I have played very little poker over the last few weeks/month is really the reason, and there has been nothing to blog about.
Right now, I have about $130 on Stars and $120 on Full Tilt, but that was until last night, when I jumped onto FT for about 30 minutes. Now, with only $120 on the site, playing 25NL is probably not the best bankroll management wise, but I am not playing any lower stakes than that.
Here are some of the highlights from last night:

Cashed out up 3 buy-ins for the session, and took my roll up to $203. So, my roll stands at $333, and is only going up.
Congrats to Stoner for finishing in the money at the LAPC. I, along with all bloggers, was hoping for you to take it down. Looking forward to the BBT4, and trying to win a main event seat.
Good luck to everyone, and good luck at the tables.

Congrats to Stoner for finishing in the money at the LAPC. I, along with all bloggers, was hoping for you to take it down. Looking forward to the BBT4, and trying to win a main event seat.
Good luck to everyone, and good luck at the tables.
