Pretty funny website

Got linked to this website from the CR off topic forum... some of the sayings are pretty dumb but I got a good laugh out of a few of them.

Here are a few above average ones:

"Today, a stoplight turned yellow as I was approaching it. I was about to go through but saw a cop, panicked, and slammed on the brakes. I ended up in the middle of the intersection and had to reverse. Soon the light turned green, and I stepped on the gas. My car was still in reverse. FML"

"Today, I saw my ex-girlfriend across the street. I was walking with a girl whom I'd been hooking up with and wanted to make my ex-girlfriend jealous. I kissed her and she immediately smacked me. I got a "ha-ha" text message from my ex. FML"

"Today, an extremely large lady came into the dry cleaners where I work. She puts what I assume is a blanket on the counter to be dry cleaned. I say "So just the one blanket then?" She replies "Those are my pants.....not a blanket." She was a size 56. FML"

"Today, there was a luncheon at work in another dept. We all went to get some free food and see new faces. There was a hot girl walking around chatting. I grabbed my buddy's arm and told him there was a "nice pair of tits here" He saw her. It's his daughter. She's a new-hire... running HR. FML"

"Today, I walked downstairs in a new outfit, after dieting for 3 months, and losing just over 20 pounds. My mom took one look at me and said "You'd better keep going." FML"

"Today, I woke up to find that my dog was missing. I spent about an hour searching for him when my psycho ex-girlfriend texted me his photo. She'd kidnapped him. After driving over there, she shot paintballs at my car. Now I have no dog and a colorful car. FML"

"Today, I was pissing in a urinal and I had the urge to sneeze. Unable to hold it, I sneezed and hit my head on a metal beam supporting the urinal. In complete disarray, I had to step back from the urinal while pissing and managed to spray the floor, the wall, and the person next to me. FML"

I also stumbled upon another one of those vids on the xtranormal.com site. This one is pretty awesome. It's like the classic conversation that occurs after you tell someone that you play online poker for a living. I've been asked so many times by friends and stuff, "ok so if I give you like 200 bucks can you double it for me?" just like in the vid, lol. Definitely worth a watch. Here's the link.

Funny vid

Played poker today just for a few hours and won a buyin. Nothing fantastic. Yesterday I won about 3 buyins.

Anyways, reason for this post is pretty much solely because of this vid I found whose link was posted in the CR off topic forum.

First off, I'd like to say that I really respect David Benefield's game; he's a great poker player and I watch his vids all the time and think they are excellent. Also, I think he does a great job with his blog... but this vid is just to hilarious not to share. If you have read Raptor's blog, you'll know that at times he posts lots of recipes, workout regimens, etc. I normally skip over that stuff but this vid sort of pokes fun at it. I don't think it's too demeaning to David, but it was supposedly created by aejones in (I believe) good fun.

Here's the link. Enjoy!

Joined Bluefire Poker

I finally got around to joining Bluefire Poker, after Nute suggested that I watch some of Phil Galfond's vids. I've watched two of his vids so far and I must say that I'm very impressed. He does a really good job of explaining his logic and definitely is a top notch instructor.

I'll probably be watching all of his vids on the site before I venture into any of the other pros' vids.

Poker was uneventful today. I played just one session of 2.5 hours and essentially broke even. I gave a lesson earlier on in the afternoon, which went pretty well.

Students, expect the next D2K newsletter to be released sometime tomorrow. I've taken a hiatus from writing them over the past month or so mainly due to me being quite busy, but I think they were helpful to everyone so I'm going to try and continue producing them.

Solid

Played pretty solidly today. Ended up a decent amount, but nothing to write home about. I'm slowly but surely getting back into the winning mindset. I think after getting hit hard at 10/20 NL my confidence took a big hit... but that's quite illogical as much of that loss was out of my control. I played with a lot of confidence today and focused on making correct decisions.

Today, my results were much better than the last few days and I even lost a lot more than my fair share of flips. I'm going to grind like crazy this weekend and we'll see how it goes.

Miserable day

Burnt through a ton of cash today at the tables... I got smoked at $2/4 NL. I am really in disbelief. I did not run very well at all.

This whole month has been a complete disaster, every time I start to get a little bit of momentum back I have a day like this which totally sets me back. The sick part was, is I think I played pretty well with the exception of one or two stack offs. Got sucked out a lot, lost a ton of flips, got coolered pre-flop a few times, and lost a bunch of stacks in critical 3-bet pots... twice when I flopped top set in a 3-bet pot I lost.

I'll just let the hands speak for themselves.

Hand #1

Hand #2

Hand #3

Hand #4

Hand #5

Hand #6


Only good thing that happened today, was that I found a place to stay in Vegas when I'll be there in June. I'll be living in a house with John and some other poker players. Should be a lot of fun. I can't wait.

Winning Session

Played quite a bit on Monday and finished up a little over 4 buyins at $2/4 NL. I played pretty solidly, with the exception of two poor/mediocre bluffs that cost me a stack each.

Here are a few fun hands from the session:

Hand #1: This was vs a weaker player who was something like 50/3 over a bunch of hands. Pretty much knew he had a high pair when he open raised pre-flop.

Hand #2: This one was just gross.

Hand #3: This hand is kind of interesting. Villain is a big, passive fish. He hadn't 3-bet yet so I decided to play it slower... especially since he pulled the min 3-bet when OOP... normally a sure sign of strength coming from a passive fish. Pretty sure I lost the minimum here.

Hand #4: This was vs. the same villain as hand #3. His min 3-bet didn't work out too well for him this time.


That's all for now folks.
