 thanks to everyone who attended! more later.

if im not out playing poker than im here like i am tonight. im watching three’s a crowd (three’s company spinoff) i downloaded off mininova.org and im eating some very nice split pea soup mary made months ago (froze the leftovers), a glass of milk and two slices of flax seed toast no butter (my idea of a diet meal).

i watch torrents on my ipod a lot while i play live hold em and ive been playing a lot of poker so ive been wathching a lot of movies. as much as i hate super violent bloody movies, no country for old men is amazing on many levels. i tried to wach LA confidential because id never seen it and it was terrible, i was really surprised, i wanted to like it but it just jumped around and none of the characters were meaningful. it was more like a  TV pilot than a movie. ive been watching the tv show northern exposure. it’s a little cheesy but it holds my interest. im also watching king of the hill all the way through and im pretty sure it’s the best show to have ever been on TV. i prefer it to the simpsons. ive also been watching seasons of south african and uk survivor. so yeah basically im a big ipod watching douchebag.

im typing this while eating ben and jerrys creme brulee ice cream which is delicious and i recommend it.

speaking of gabes, shawn pmed me the other day and said crazy gabe was playing 3-6 at commerce. so sick. as shawn says “i wish i was good enough to play the big boy games”.

been playing 40 at oceans a lot. was up like $5k last night basically because i made a set like every time i had a pair, but only won $275 before leaving. playing overs + flopping two pairs against lagatic jason = bye bye chips. been having fun playing there lately though because game is sick good and im running good. hopefully it will last awhile.

no new wine this week, drinking wine is not synching up with my schedule at all. fortunately im hosting a wine tasting potluck here next weekend with some friends so i can drink plenty then. the phillips hill 94 point gary vaynerchuk pinot will be here by then so we’ll give it a whirl.

yeah so other than that not much to report. i tried to watch raising arizona on my ipod, remembered liking it as a teenager, and it was just so tiresome and bad. seems like i turn off most movies halfway through nowadays. another thing people are bad at is playing survivor. current season showed lots of promise but people’s consistent stupidity and misjudging of others around them make it frustrating. the dominant players are just destroying the naive ones. yawn.

more negativity later.

i guess i should actually talk about poker since this is a poker named site. i won two 30+ bb pots in the last week playing 40 at oceans.

hand 1 i have red TT on the button in the greatest game ever. two limpers, lag preflop but passive fish otherwise raises, next guy complete lunatic lagball 3 bets, biggest lagball idiot ever caps it, i call 4 cold, bb calls, limper calls. it should tally up to 7 of us for 4 bets cause that’s what it was. the flop is 982 with two hearts. checked to initial pf raiser who bets, i decide his bet looks like an overpair, two callers and i call because i dont want to pay 4 bets to see the turn and i think im beat and i know NO one will fold for two cold as their eyes are already glazing over at the mound of chips in the center of the table. everyone calls and 7 of us see the turn.

the turn is a 7 making it two diamonds on board too now. checked to hugest lag fish ever on my right who bets, i raise, 3 players call two bets cold, original flop better says “this hand wont be good on the river” or something retarded and folds what im sure is the winner. last guy cold calls i think merely because everyone else did too and he didnt want to feel left out. turn better calls which makes me happy because a 3 bet wouldve caused vomiting for sure.

 the river is the lovely 5d completing a backdoor flush, idiot end straight and a miriad of two pair hands. checked to me and i decide checking will earn me the most here. guy on my right gets all excited like he’s certain his hand is good and announces “i have a deuce!!” i say “i can beat a deuce.” big blind says “pair of nines”, i say “i can beat that” and turn over my hand, one pair for a $2400+ pot. see poker is easy after all i just imagined that 200bb downswing i suffered since 2008 started.

last night i get 88 6 or 7 handed and raise doc jose who limps utg directly on my right, huge fish on my left calls, sb calls, bb calls, the doc respazzes, i think about capping but want to raise jose’s flop bet so i call, but now short bus on my left random caps. everyone calls, 5 for 4 bets, smiles all around.

 the flop is Q98 and it’s checked to me and i bet, guy on my left raises, blinds call, doc check-3 bets, i cap, they all call.

 the turn is a 7. i bet, fish raises, blinds fold, doc calls two cold. i decide that fish possibly has JT but i dont care because he can also easily have any two pair and cant have QQ or 99. so i 3 bet, he caps, jose gets dragged behind the truck for two more. i cap certain that i will suck out because im better player than ten each of these two guys put together.

lo and behold the river is an 8. i bet knowing it’s an error as soon as i do it (easiest c/r ever!). fish calls with his JT and jose folds (??!!??). i scream “I QUADED UP FUCK YOU ALL RETARDED BITCHES!!!” and muster enough strength to throw the whole table up and over, killing the two blinds.

 actually that part didnt happen, but i did quad up and win a $2600 pot and it made me glad inside.

poker sucks.
