I trying today to when some cash so I can play in the mega-satellite to qualify for the $5K Main Event.
So, I started with $200 and I played so bad that I pissed that away in about 30 minutes. This guy raise to $15 so I called with Qs9s and it came out 10 9 8. He shoveled all in about $110 so I called. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He flipped over pocket JJs but I still have outs, a few. So, it didn't come and I'm out. I was just pissed off for about 45 minutes.
I thought about it and calm down and brought in for $180 now. I was calmer and more focus playing this time. I had AA and I smooth called the $3 bucks and the flop came K 2 8 and I check. The villain bet $25 so I called and the turn brought 4h. I check once again and he bet $50 this time and I reraise him and he called with KJ and paid me off. After that, I just won a lot of small pots. I won back the $200 bucks that I lost earlier, plus $180. Hell, if I didn't pissed that $200 away, I could have got my seat in the Mega. I'm pissed off and probably won't play until after the Main Event is over. That sucks I didn't make it this year but I will try for the Main Event starting next month. B- won $180 plus my $200 back that I pissed away.

Hungry for more $$$$$$$$$$$
Wednesday Feb. 21, 08
After the exciting day that I had on Monday so I decided to make it back over. The WSOP Circuit is in town and I might play in the $550 satellite but while I was waiting, I got down on some 1-3. I started with $200 this time and it was the ugliest playing table in a long time. I had AQ and I made it $20 to go so one villain called me and the flop A 2 3. He lead out first with $15, so I bump it to $60. He called! The Turn 4, He check and he said I know what you have and you got me dominated. I said dude, first I don't care what you think. Anyways, I check right behind him. He lead out with $40 on the river. I then said, you have me dominated and your A4 is good, if you have A5 you would have be the turn to suck more money out. Me playing like Daniel Negreanu and had to pay him off. Help he flips over A4! I knew it!
So after about 1 hour of playing, I was down to $10. I'm on tilt, I'm pissed and I'm hungry! I looked down and pocket JJs, I went all in and got 9 callers. Anyways, I hit trip Js on the river to win that pot. Then I pick of A8 off suite raise it to $15 and got a caller. The flop was 10c 3h 8c and the villain bet $30 so I went all in. He called and showed 7c, 4c. The Turn was 9d so he had an open ended straight and a flush draw. The River 4d and I went that pot. That pot was about $230 bucks. After that, I won a little of small pots and left. I played okay but not great. B+ ( won $100 )

Well, I had little time to play this past weekend. My little one was sick all weekend long but I did played in a $10 game on Poker Academy. I took that down from $40 bucks. It was just good that I beat my poker teacher, Nick B. LOL
I really have nothing to talk about for Sunday. I didn't do much besides play bad cards. I started with $140 at the 1-3 table and I couldn't see any cards. If I raise, I didn't follow it up with a c-bet and just let my opponent catch up. However I still walked away with $40 ahead. I don't know how but I did. I guess my opponents were horrible like me and we couldn't take each other money. F – won $40
Okay the fun part………..
Monday Feb. 18, 08,
I went back to the Casino around 9am and see if I can do better. Once again I sat down with only $140. I started out kind of slow and just playing from position. I finally pick up KK in the cutoff and raise $18 and got 2 callers. The flop was low cards and I took the pot down.
Enough of the bull, I'm getting right to the point cause I'm excited to write it. I looked down at 99's and first to act. I just called the $3 bucks. The villain next to me made it $30 and 2 other callers in front of me. I said there's a lot of dough out there and maybe if I flop a 9 this could get ugly. I had about $450 or so in front of me. It was hard for me to call but I did. Now, the Flop came out J 9 9. Do I see 99 on the flop? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Did I died and went to heaven? I'm first to act, of course I check and the villain1 beside me bet $80 and we got another villain2 calls. I was thinking this couldn't be real. They are betting in me and this just can't be real. So, I smooth call the $80 and that was it. The Turn A, so I check it again and the villain1 goes all in for about $380 or so. Then villain2 calls the all in for about $315 and I called so fast I thought I pull a muscle in my arm. Villain1 flips over JJs and Villain2 throw down pocket rockets AA! One flop the boat and the other turn the boat! LOL I never saw this in live game but plenty of times online. So, after the smoke cleared the pot was about $1355.I played pretty good most of the day. A ( won $1215 )

Needed This....................
Sunday Feb 10, 08
Well, since I have that nasty taste from the night before, I had to play again. I just moved until my new house so I had to break it in with some poker. We had about 7 guys over there and all are solid players. We had CJ, Teal, Jay M, Bob M, Mike W and Walker. Most of everyone started with $60 with .25/.50 blinds.
To make it quick cause I'm tired of writing. I raise it to $15 and Walker called. The flop was 2,7,4 and I lead out with $20 and Walker went all in for about $60 and I waited for 10 minutes and I called. I flip over pocket 55s and he had KJ and the 55s held out. Maybe a loose called but he straddle that hand and I knew he didn't wake up with nothing strong. I'm glad that I won that race. Anyways, I just played some decent poker and Joe and me left with it all. Grade A+ Won $ 215
I need a day like that after Saturday bullshit! Still f*** LB!

I'm so sick to my stomach………….I had a decent day of playing until L.B. showed up. LB is one of the worst player I ever, ever seen. She always have a lot of chips at the Casino and she always doing good in these tournament. About 2 years ago when I won my seat to the WSOP, she was there. We were going to the final table and she came over and said, let's play team cause she really need the money. I was chip leader and I said hell no cause I need the money. Anyways, after that she had been shitty to your boy ever since then.
She raise pre-flop to $15 and I was looking down on AdJd. I called and another guy called. The flop Kd 2d 7d. I just flop the nuts! I checked the flop, she bet $30. I went to $100 even. She waited and called. Turn 6c, she proceeded to say that she got lucky and shoved all in. I said not lucky enough cause I flop the nuts. She flip over pocket 66s for trip. River and *&$@%*@ 2c to pair the board! I said WOW! I got up and left until I hear, I knew I was going to win. I turned around so fast and storm to her and said a lot of unpleasant things. I understand that you hit runners to win but don't say I knew it. Win like you won before. Grade A-
Lost $150

The Drive!
The Drive is something that separate a human being. Like John Elway last minute drive against Cleveland. The Ali drive to be the best boxer in the world. The Tom Brady drive to work hard to receive great success. The Bill Belichick drive that focus on the now and not in the past or future.
Hell, I didn't even play poker this week. I was moving into my very first house. I'm pump up! The thing that I was super sick and I couldn't even lift a box. My bro came up from Kansas to help me out and a friend of mine, Andrew help also. I was so driven that my brother came up to help, Andrew help and plus moving to the house. I was carrying my washer and dryer, feeling so weak but I had too. I was driven!
Just like poker, what drives us? Is it to be the best? Make a lot of money? Living the high stakes life? Maybe all the above? I just know that the best players are driven by something. After this week, I'm totally driven to play the best every time I sit.
