Where am I going to be all weekend? TAJ

I will be playing 1 2 NL most likly, for those of you who dont know. second and last friday of the month FISH CENTRAL! keep in mind they just got paid from there 9 to 5. - or if D girl does not want company I will bring my stack over to the 2 5 tables. and if you want the skinny on the Fucking sharks Just ask. I know them all. I have taken cell phone video's of the PPL that are Fish and those who are MANIACS!!! It's funny there is one guy I have never seen him put money in to a pot unless he had the Stone cold nuts. last three times i saw him he was up 2000 each time.

I did not mean for this to sound as it first came off

A J os ~ Da Nuts!Flop [T,K,Q] Turn 9 and river 8 I did not draw to a inside st8 draw either- I just flopped pure gold as XXXX announced as I was in the hand , Ace jack is gold here

I was felted by Same player not 20 hands earlier by his set of ducks, my personal fav money hand - I knew my K 9 was no good at the momment 3 players were calling for 9 bucks.

My Nightmare hands in Cash games at AC Taj

Here is my Excel sheet I keep at work to recount the Nightmare hands I have had and tried to learn from best I can.


-450
AK Hearts
FLOP is Ace 7H QC
called 20 preflop:
heads up
check-
opp raised 50, I reraised 150. Thinking this would END THE HAND HERE AND NOW~!
opp - ALL in! AND I called too quick… Just like I take My hands off the mouse at
home to insure I THINK before I ACT…
Trip aces VS AK Turn was a heart, river was not.


-260

Limp with 44 SB $5 to see flop 4 ppl

Flop comes (4H 7S Ace H) I check TRIPS

opp - raised 20. call call

I reraised 65.

ONE opp called my raise ------Paused and only called

No supision yet TURN (2c)

I bet hundred - he goes all in - 100 to call. He goes all in Knowing the majority of my

money is in ~ AAA verse 444



SAVED MONEY HERE:
K J -150

top pair - check (KH 4H 7 ) 4 ppl See FLOP.

called 20

Made Set of kings on TURN and Checked all around me on Button - THEN to the river and

called a FULL house set of fours full 85 bucks Kept it small Because I realized opponent

Was ULTRA STRONG, RIVER - Unsuited Rag -

called -lead out 85 (after hand - opponent said He wanted me to bet to get the flush draw out,

so he could rerasie me.) I played this hand well ~ did not want to call river bet!!!


K 10 -100

FLOPPED 2 pair smoth called 35 50

did not call on river as a Q came -

opponent looked like he hit the obvious st8 - made a 50 on an unpaired board -

OBVIOUS ST8s out there - seemed like a value bet I let it go


AK clubs +165

double up - on a flopped flush Opponent had top pair top kicker

I checked it, he checked it. RISKY!!! Checked it again… He bet the turn 85. I moved all in

on him. He called. I'm not sad He had a grand at the table.

FLUSH
10 4 Spades (BB) -155

saw flop for free - checked all around made a flush - checked then bet 10 call 10 call 10

so I over played my hand hoping to win it there - Bet 100 called 50 more with a smaller flush

KQ suited -65
lost MY last $65 preflop
K Q suited VS. 88

he floped trips

You can see the sun comming up in the window (PRICELESS)

I think since I am new to the Blogging community and I like you guys:
I should let them know I have some poker chops -
This was the second time I ever played this tourny.

kod - I love getting under there skin -

Do the limits matter?

I have been all over Full tilt - I have played the 10 25 cent tables for about 3 months while I learned the game a year ago. i had managed to make my way all the way up to the 2 4 NL game. fun fun fun. The quality of the game is much better there then it is at these raggy limits I have been playing. So why did I drop down. In a word, Bankroll. I play the same game in the 50 cent dollar game as I would in any 2 4 NL and I am capable of making a hundered a night - At this pace I will be back in the big game in 2 weeks. The action in the 2 4 NL game can really scare the crap outta ya If you dont have the cash to play it. So for now I will grind it out, win some tokens and see if I can pad the bank roll.

Who am I you ask?

Live in NJ. Love playing live poker games. I can readally be found playing in AC with my girlfriend who now loves the game as well. We both love going to tables together and Kicking ass! I may ask her to post here with me. The reason I am starting this blog. Well it simple really - I dont have a lot of poker buddies. I have been reading HOYAZA and Fuel55 and some others, maybe Ickarass since he seems to be a monster tourny player. But I really have enjoyed how these players have set up there blog community and I'd love to make a few friends through this.

I use to work in gothem. Before Poker I was a Chess and (horrible) backgammon player. Over all I am a big loser when it comes to Poker, or at least that is what I'd like to have you believe. With a few degrees in adv math and stats I get my fair share of wins and loses.

Yesterday I pulled a rather strong showing in the 19K garentee tourny. going out on AQ against A 10 who was in the BB. Very similar to a Blog posting by Hoy, I was all in for 13000 But the BB only needs to pay 7000 or so for a big pot/ anyway he made the call, as I know he should. But I was a strong 75 % having him dominated till he floped a 10. 27th paid a hundered twenty and change. I got seriously short stacked as the game went on - card dead and when I had a hand like 66 and a suited KQ there were already 2 in front of me all in - uggggg.

Notable First hand in the tourny was a monster, AK - I decided to Over play it - at the 25 50 level. one raise and a pot raise in frong of me. I make it 520 to go. Unbelievably I get 6 callers. Thinking OMG, I guess this is going to be quick if I hit an ace - So Flop comes As K(?) 3s. hmmmm from the SB I check. and the madness begins - UTG - all in. 3 more follow to call. I insta call- what am I up against A j, Ks Js, and JJ. some one said they folded JJ's so I quaddrupple up. Nice start to a 19 K. Dimondgurl81 tells me I should be playing more hands in these tournaments. I would disagree. I have adopted a rather strong sence of when My cards are going to hold up. I prefer to stay outta the big stacks way, with marginal hands. and I never over value soooted cards. Dimondgurl won a $10 45 player Sitgo last night so she's always has my respect as a card player -
