paid in dues blues

... was the username of the player who knocked me out of the tournament. I don't really get it but yeah, it has the word 'blue' on it and it's my Girlfriend's favorite color so yeah. (Yeah you were on my mind) I guess that would make her smile. :P OK ANYWAYS, Played $3 KO SitnGo. 90 entrants, and guess what? I got to my first final table in FTP. whut up? haha On my last hand, I made a donk move by shoving all in with AK on a missed board, apparently, he had a straight. lol Anyway, I finished 4th in the tourney with $25. So not bad, could've done better though. So I'm back to $110 after my string of ugly losses. haha I thought I was on my way to getting busto. Apparently not. :) Well, not yet. lol I guess I'm learning more and more each day. B-) That's all for now! I'll keep you guys posted. Bye!

Ok, so i just finished my first session ever after getting my starting capital.. and it sucked. I played horrible. just.. horrible. I played my first tournament for today with a $2 buy in. There were 540 entrants. I started real slow , being dealt with trash, like J2o, 75o ,62o and such. After a few hands.. that I was uninvolved of course, I finally got a premium hand. KK. then busted a player. So that made me survive a few more hands. My bad luck continued after that, being dealt with trash hand after hand. So I was blinded out. Surpringly I finished at 42nd place with $5. After that I took a break and tried to play SNG. I played 2 $2 SNG and 9 $1 SNG and guess effing what?? I finished 9th place on the 2 and the rest, 4th! and there are only 3 places paid for each SNG. To finish fourth is just.. devastating. That put me on tilt which totally affected my game. I was shoving with small pocket pairs on a paired board. Yes, its me. BUBBLE BOY. I stopped playing before my bankroll goes to busto city.  Please forgive for this crappy post. It's 4am in the morning I just did schoolwork and played LOSING poker. Plus, I have a lot on my mind right now. I'm hoping for a better result tomorrow. I'll keep you guys posted. Peace.

Hello World!

As the title says, Hello World! I just made a blog (which is kinda gay) but I'm gonna do my best to make this blog manly. yeah thats right, MANLY. ya dig? Plus I need to burn the time.  This will be my first post. I am still unsure why I'm doing this, normally I don't broadcast my life over the internet. lol but this isn't gonna be about my life. This is gonna be about poker.. okay, maybe I'll be telling you about how my day went every once in a while, but aside from that, poker. Yeah, poker. I've been inlove with it for almost a year now. From home games to online poker to card rooms. Of course I wasn't any good at first, I was more of a lucky player. Then days, weeks, months pass by.. I learned how to really play poker. I learned that like in everything, it has a proper approach. It's not just a game of luck, otherwise it would be BINGO. ya dig me mah brotha from anotha motha? (sorry i had to say that to make it sound more manly) okay moving on, like I said poker is a game of skill with the element of luck. Which means, yes captain obvious, you need both to win. Right now I don't have that kind of luck yet that's why I'm not winning $$$ yet. But I'm definitely learning more and more each day. Been reading books, well ebooks actually and strategy articles online that can help improve my game. So I'll be posting here my ups and downs in poker,most of the time I'll rant about bad beats but yeah whatever. whew! sorry I've been typing senseless things in here. It's amazing what boredom and sadness can make you do. oh well. congrats! you've just wasted 5 minutes of your life! lol I promise to make my second post better. Thats all for now. Smell ya later!
