Since the Superdonk and I both had Friday night off and gas prices are way down, we decided a trip to our old stomping grounds was in order. The creek hadn't changed much...in fact, as I sat down in the seven seat I noticed Steve (big white guy reg, looks like kyle gass just not bald) and Su in the four seat (her husband Steve was playing NL.) The Superdonk ended up occupying the one seat, and the rest of the table was a smattering of LPP donks...it was going to be a good day.
Steve left pretty early, so I remember thinking the only players I really had to worry about was the SD and Su...but Su doesn't play incredibly well and me and the SD tend to stay out of each other's way for the most part.
I ran pretty good in the first hour or so...won a nice pot with a flopped set of aces on a four flush board and somehow no one had a diamond...you know, really odd stuff like that. I was up $100 for most of the night until I hit an absolute sick run of cards in my last hour or so at the table.
I won a kill pot with a goofy 75 soooooted hand...I think there was a couple limpers, I limped behind. Flop gave me a gutshot, so I bet with position and hoped to get a free river card. Everyone called...turn I hit my gutterball. Weeeeeeee. Checked to me and I bet, three callers. River was a blank, checked to me, one caller.
Anyway, it's taken me a week to write this and I can't remember anything else, but I cashed out +$430...wow, 50bbs+, obviously a sick run. Oh, shorthanded I got Aces once and Jacks once, both in kill pots...that helped out a lot. Anyway, I have an update for 12/12, so check back in a couple days for that.

2008 Fantasy Football Rundown
Alrght since Champ said he wanted to read it, might as well post it. Sup Champ?! Anyway, somehow I found my way into three leagues this year (geek check!). The first two I purposefully joined ($100 league through work, $20 league through Cardplayer) and then the third league I helped out my friend from work who's never played before but wanted to get a free league going to learn, so I said w/e fuck it and joined as the 8th team.
So first off, my $100 league turned out to only be eight guys (two guys flaked on draft day, wtf?!) after being a 10-man league forever, so yeah, the teams came out kinda stacked. By the way, kind of a weird set-up...1 QB, 2 RBs, 4WRs (TEs count as WRs) 1 DEF, 1 Kicker, 20yds rush/run = 1 pt; 50 yds/pass = 1 pt, 6pts/TD...kinda odd, a lot of people I tell the league about hate the way it's set up...I've gotten used to it. Oh and there's no playoff system, best record at the end of the year wins...
So yeah, the first four picks were something like (Brady, LT, AP, Addai) and so I took Westbrook. I remember really wanting Addai, but decided Westbrook would work out okay. After that I can't really remember much, except I took Lynch 2nd round, Fitzgerald 3rd, then I got Turner in the 4th...blah blah...I had a pretty solid team and someone ranked me as the 2nd best looking team preseason. I know that doesn't mean dick, but at least someone liked how my team was set up. My one HUGE weakness was going to be QBs. Basically the 2nd and 3rd round was the round all the solid QBs went, so I said fuck it and decided to wait until the mid rounds to get a QB. I took all my RBs and WRs early (we have to start 4 WRs/TEs, so I loaded up) and didn't take Matt Hasselbeck until somewhere in Round 9 or 10. I also picked up Garrard and Delhomme, and just prayed one of these three would have a breakout year (if you've been following this year at all, you'll note none of the three have done shit). I almost took a shot and went with Kurt Warner, that would have been nice.
Basically what I learned from this league this year is that I am the luckiest motherfucker on the face of the Earth (*knock on wood* don't jinx me please). I knew it was going to be a good year as soon as week 1 when I was facing the commish's team with a three point lead going into the Monday night game...he had McFadden and his defense going and only needed four points to beat me (my guys were done), three to tie. Well obviously he only scored two points somehow (I think his D put up a goose egg) and I held onto a 53-52 (lowest scoring game of the week) victory. After that I seemed to face the lowest scorer each week and I'd repeatedly have to show up to work and say "I rallied my troops around, we played a close game, but we squeezed out a victory. That's what good teams do baby." I currently have a 1.5 game lead (I tied in week four or some shit) with four weeks left to play...HOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD!!!
The CP league I decided to screw around a bit and take Brady in the first round with the 6th overall pick (I made sure to stay old school with the $100 league and take two RBs first). Let's just say after that my draft didn't look all that great, and once Brady went down in week 1, I all but gave up on that league.
The free league was an autodraft where you could pre-rank your players. I was definitely not going to spend the time pre-ranking players, especially since I really wanted a live draft, so I just left the rankings as they were and came back to a team where my first pick was S-Jax (I really didn't want S-Jax on any of my teams this year) and then my next three picks were all WRs (wtf...Moss, Andre Johnson, Fitzgerald). At least I had solid receivers...right? My backs ended up being S-Jax, Turner, Ronnie Brown (he didn't even sniff my starting line-up until after he blew up in one of those early weeks). Funny sidenote, Moss has been riding the pine in this league pretty much since week 2...and no one wanted to give me a good trade for him since Brady went down and we're all kinda stacked, so he's been on my bench except when he has had good matchups.
Anyway, somehow I made a couple good waiver wire moves (I picked up Steve Slaton off the free agent wire, traded Calvin Johnson for someone I can't remember because I was deep as fuck at receiver) and actually put a good team together. I started caring about this league once I figured out how much shit talk there would be, so I started getting into it and making my team as good as possible. The regular season just ended with me at 10-3, best record in the league, most points scored, yada yada, looking to take home the $20 trophy my buddy bought for the winner of the league.
So that's it for now, actually have a 4/8-Kill Cache Creek trip planned for Friday night, wish me luck, hopefully I'll have a good update for you guys Saturday. Thanks for reading.

About Updating...
Never got around to updating the Vegas trip. Still being lazy, still sucking at life when it comes to poker and updating this. To be honest, I think I've played only a couple smaller sessions since Vegas and I just don't see playing a consistent live game happening anytime soon. I'm dealing with a lot of other stuff right now, you know, IRL stuff haha. I'm working a little more because of the holidays, job searching, talking to contacts, blah blah, boring stuff.
I do plan on making a Fantasy Football related blog post though lol, stay tuned.

Wow, Been Awhile
Laziness, running shitty (sorta), and more laziness are my only reasons for not updating as often as I'd like. Sorry for leaving you guys hanging (hopefully I still have readers), and I promise to start posting semi-regularly again. I plan on updating the blog with the back end of my September sessions and my October Vegas trip.
Catch ya guys later, and thanks for still reading

Wednesday Night 9/18 (9/24)
So I rolled into Cap kinda late, around 11pm or so. Saw The Dark Knight at Imax btw...sick stuff.
Anyway, I sat down at 4/8 for a few orbits and I kid you not, I went 2 for 4 with big premiums (AA-JJ). Unfortunately jacks and kings won me a couple small pots and the aces and queens lost me some bigger ones. After my name was called for the 9/18 game I was down $60 or so...
9/18 didn't start off so hot either as I was dealt 99 my 3rd hand at the table and raised from EP out of seat six. Bill (older, nice white guy regular) called from the eight seat as did the blinds. The flop came out JT9. I bet, Bill raised, blinds folded, I 3-bet, and he capped. The turn was a blank, I bet, he raised again...and so I decided to call. Me and Bill have some history, and we both should be able to put each other on big hands at this point. The turn was a hideous eight, so I check/called and he showed KQ for the flopped nut straight. Oh well...
9/18 continued to be pretty awful for the first hour and a half or so, as I just couldn't make any hands hold. There was this older white woman named Michelle in seat three who was just terrible, and sounded like a 3/6 player the way she tried to justify the donkeyish way she'd play a hand. I iso-raised her a lot with some solid cards (AK, AQ, medium pockets) and some other stuff like A9s or JTs, and boy was she mean-mugging me all night. Two pots she beat me out of early on were just disgusting...the A9 hand I flopped top pair and she flopped a couple backdoor draws with KJ of spades. Of course she goes running spades on me and I make two pair on the river and have to pay her off. A couple hands later she turned a set of threes against my pocket tens on an all-unders board...omg lifetilt.
At one point I was stuck close to $600 on the night, but eventually turned it around and left Cap around 5am or so up $380 (+$440 on 9/18). I'll talk about a couple beats I took before I end the entry for tonight, and I'll be back tomorrow (later today errr after I wake up) to talk about the sick hands I caught after hour number two to pull off a $1k swing.
The first beat is pocket aces in the Cutoff. Limped in one spot, I raised, a regular out of seat seven named Tom I think (short, mustache, always angry) calls from the button with 76os and the BB and limper call. The flop is 972 rainbow...BB donks, limper folds, I raise, Tom calls for some reason, BB calls. The turn is of course a seven and it goes check, bet, raise, fold, and I check/call down.
The second one is kinda minor, but it still kinda sucks. I got Kings somewhere in EP, I raised, and pretty much everyone called. The flop looked great (Q94), I bet out and four people called. The turn was an ace though, and Wilson bet out from the small blind and the BB raised so I had to fold. Oh well...
Like I said, things get much better, so I'll come back tomorrow and talk about those hands. Thanks for reading.

Thursday Night Poker Action (9/18) II
Ahh I missed 4/8, it was such a beautiful table last night. Call. Call. Call. Check. Call. Call. Call. Wonderful indeed. I folded a lot (obv), but then picked up this hand out of the BB.
If you read back a few entries, I talked about a hand where I flopped the nutflush out of the BB with A6 of diamonds, and I said I wanted to work on raising in that spot against a ton of limpers because we have a good equity advantage (Ax-suited). If I miss, I can check/fold and not have it be a big deal. So I was dealt A5 of clubs, raised after five callers limped, someone re-raised all-in for like two more chips, so everyone called that too...$10 x 6 players to the flop of 863 with two clubs.
I bet out, got three callers...turn was another eight, but the eight of clubs. I bet, kinda expecting to get raised (and wondering if anyone boated up...doubtful), but only got two callers. The river was a blank, I bet, all folded. I showed my nutflush and the all-in player showed her QJ of clubs with a big "awwwwwww" :(
There was another really big hand where I flopped a set of five out of the SB against a guy trying to get all-in. The flop was KQ5, turn was a six and the river was a jack...anyway I held and won another sizeable pot. Aside from those two hands, I can't really remember any other hands I won at 4/8...
9/18 was a good mix of bad players and some regs who are decent. There was a stretch where I raised with AA, won that pot, raised the very next hand with AQ of spades, flopped the nutflush, and then the very next hand after picked up Aces again. Craziness...this of course was after folding for my first few orbits at the table. I had actually seat changed from seat five (middle of the table...yuck) to seat one because I absolutely hate the middle of the table. No superstitions, just fat kid claustrophobia and feeling like I'm "in the spotlight." One player commented "seat change means new gear?" to which I laughed off and said "we'll see."
The second Aces hand was a bit strange as I raised from UTG, a guy named Dale in seat four (typical LPP) called, folded around to Sam in the BB who defended. Bummer...third hand I've raised in a row and no one wants to three-bet me when I have the nuts pre.
The flop was pretty good looking, 973 with two hearts, and I had the Ace of hearts in my hand. Sam bets out, I raise, Dale 3-bets (yikes), Sam caps and we all call...Hmm, what did I get myself into here? Sam, while mixes in his aggression well at times, has played with me a lot and would almost definitely put me on an overpair here...and Dale is as stationy as they come...
The turn is a blank ten, Sam bets out and I decide to just call. I was pretty sure he didn't have anything less than two pair here. Dale calls behind me and we see a turn of a three of hearts, pairing the board while also completing the flush. Sam seems unphased and bets out, I call, Dale calls.
Sam showed 77 for sevens full, Dale then shows the other two aces in the deck...lol. Wow, I usually muck my hand in this spot, especially since there's no reward for getting your aces cracked at the moment (usually it's $35), so I laughed and showed them the other two aces. "Sorry Sam I have quads" I remember saying as I threw my aces toward Dale's... :-)
After that a lot of hands are hazy...and like I said I ended up taking off to the Omaha game at the Derby. When I first sat down I bought in for a couple racks of $1 chips at 5/10 O8 with an option for a $20 bet on the river (sounds fun). One of the first hands I sat down I was dealt A34K with the ace-suited. I think just about everyone limped in, one guy out of the blinds raised (everyone called), and the flop was 982 and I was left in the middle of two guys raising each other and a bunch of callers. Weeeeee, fireworks already. The turn blanked out and it went bet/call/call, but the river I hit my four and had the nut low. I check/called a $20 bet from this Asian guy (played every single hand the entire time I was there, he may have folded three hands the entire night). Turns out the raiser out of the blinds couldn't beat either the high hand or my nut low, so me and the asian guy chopped the pot. It was a good pot...
After that a few hands later I played AKQ2 (double suited) from lp after a ton of limpers and raised. The flop was J93 rainbow with one of my suits backdoor. Some guy in EP bet out, and a few people called, I called.
The turn brought a 10 of clubs which gave me the nuts on a rainbow board, no low draw. Basically I had to dodge pairing the board and I'd have the nuts. EP bet out again, two callers, I raised, three calls. The river blanked out with a four or something...checked to me, I bet $20, everyone folded. Weeeeeeeeeee up $140 almost immediately.
Unfortunately after that I folded for-ev-er and was left watching a bunch of old men donk off tons of chips. Seriously, the next youngest guy at the table was probably 45 years old (not exagerating), but everyone played awful. The Asian guy to my left said he dropped $1400 for the night, and I believe him. He played every single hand, went to the river almost every single hand, and was looking people up with hands like bottom two pair. Wowwwwwww. <3 Live O8
Okay well that's all for now, look for some updates sometime tomorrow, I plan on playing today.

Thursday Night Poker Action (9/18)
I'm way too tired to blog about the sessions buuuuut...results are fun.
4/8: +200
9/18: +100
5/10 O8: +125
I rolled into Capitol around 8pm (Tony put my name on the 9/18 list at 7pm), and I was still 14th on the list...wtf? So I played 4/8 for a little while, bought in for a rack, and by the time I got called for 9/18, I didn't have to pull anymore money out of my wallet. I gave the floorman three racks of orange and traded that in for a rack of purple $3 chips...
A couple hours of 9/18 were pretty crazy. Up and down, up and down. I think I got AK and AQ at least five times a piece tonight...some held, some didn't. I don't think I ever cracked more than +180 at that game, and never fell below even. Eventually the game broke around 1230am and I was left wide awake and bored out of my mind. Phoenix?
I decided the night was way too young and drove out to the Phoenix to see if they had anything going...I must have made a wrong turn, because I drove past where I thought Phoenix was and eventually ran into the Lucky Derby...w/e.
Derby had a 4/8-half kill game and a bunch of shortstacked NL games running, and then I saw a list for Omaha8. Hmmmmmm...
I sat down playing O8 and won a couple big pots early, folded for what seemed like an enternity, and then played some O8 shorthanded before finally calling it a night/morning.
Fun stuff, I'll blog about some hands tomorrow, right now I need to sleep.
4/8: +200
9/18: +100
5/10 O8: +125
I rolled into Capitol around 8pm (Tony put my name on the 9/18 list at 7pm), and I was still 14th on the list...wtf? So I played 4/8 for a little while, bought in for a rack, and by the time I got called for 9/18, I didn't have to pull anymore money out of my wallet. I gave the floorman three racks of orange and traded that in for a rack of purple $3 chips...
A couple hours of 9/18 were pretty crazy. Up and down, up and down. I think I got AK and AQ at least five times a piece tonight...some held, some didn't. I don't think I ever cracked more than +180 at that game, and never fell below even. Eventually the game broke around 1230am and I was left wide awake and bored out of my mind. Phoenix?
I decided the night was way too young and drove out to the Phoenix to see if they had anything going...I must have made a wrong turn, because I drove past where I thought Phoenix was and eventually ran into the Lucky Derby...w/e.
Derby had a 4/8-half kill game and a bunch of shortstacked NL games running, and then I saw a list for Omaha8. Hmmmmmm...
I sat down playing O8 and won a couple big pots early, folded for what seemed like an enternity, and then played some O8 shorthanded before finally calling it a night/morning.
Fun stuff, I'll blog about some hands tomorrow, right now I need to sleep.
