Bloop...Bloop...Bloop goes the week...
Sorry its been a bit since I last posted, I know all of you are starving for my wonderful insight towards my sad world of poker existence. I hope I dont dissapoint with my following story for the week, enjoy.
Ive been playing alot on BoDog recently, I love playing the 50 dollars SnG's. Some tell me thats a waste of money, but I love playing heads up, and its quick money, without alot of hassle, very cut and dry in my honest opinion, so I frequent these lovely money making debacles all the time.
This week was no different, I quickly turned my 20 dollar buy in to a little over 300 dollars in the span of two hours.All in a days work for me. Online poker can be awesome, if you tiptoe through the donkeys.
As I was saying, Ive been playing alot online, so I decided to cash out some money from my account, but I ran into a small problem. I wanted to play some lives games this week, and I could really use some of that money, but I couldnt figure out a quicker way to get cash in hand.????? Aha, lightbulb! I decided to play a 100 dollar SnG with my boss, let me donk off a quick hunsky to him, and its like an ATM machine. Step one in my plan works to perfection, sort of.
That step one I was talking about came on a Thursday, unfortunatelyE talked me into playing some 1/2 with the donkeycorral . Ok, no problem, I only have to show up at work by seven in the morning, so let me get a few hours in and have some poker fun.
We arrive early, to find that the game is not going to go off as planned. Four players show up, so we decide to start shorthanded. Ok, not a problem, lets do this.
One hour later.......
Bessman:raise
E:call
Nelly: call
flop: J/9/3
Bessman:check
E:all you can eat baby
Nelly:How much? 51? Not good enough, make it 102.
Bessman: A duh, a duh, a duh.
Trav:(heissman stance) You can fold bessman
Bessman: I call
E: I got J/9, you got a set Nelly?
Nelly:Yeah
E:Shit
Bessman:damn(showing pocket aces)
Turn= Blank
River= Blank
Ok, Nellys knocked out two players, 1/2 game over. Someone hit the reset button.
So, after Nelly proceeded to take almost 70-80% of the money on the table. We decide to play some low limit dealers choice. Game was fun, I finally, for the love of God learned how to push, raise, call, and check down a nut low(to the much irritated expressions of Trav, yelling,"this fucking guy, how does he get there? And why does he check it?")
Pretty good night, I only lose just under a meatball, and tell E Ill get him back on Friday.
Then the week starts to get interesting...
Steves posts his thread advertising his regular Sunday game. Pops, a local md-poker player, decides hes going to come out and support the game. This leads Steve, knowing that Me and Pops have a very volatile love hate relationship, to state that I should come out, to make the game more interesting.
This is where mistake number one comes in...
I tell Pops that I intend on coming to the game because I can suck out on him something fierce. This in turn leads to the regular internet sparring matches me and Pops have before and after each game. Its fun, most of the time its alot of good ribbing, and joaning, comebacks here and there. But this one got quite heated and personal between Pops, Redpit(Mikey), and I. Almost to the point where I was ready to hurt someone. Luckily it died down a bit when some cooler heads put some two cents in and told us boys to play nice in the schoolyard.
Dont get me wrong, I got nuthin but love for Mikey and Pops, but its a love hate relationship. Theyre arent close personal friends, but I like them enough to claim them as friends. They just happen to be two friends that make me want to jump up a wall when we get into it. Ah, well, I guess thats life.
Off to Steves fish tank for a nice, sunny, Sunday afternoon....
I arrive at Steves, and almost immediately get down to business. Caught two hands early, that saw me calling some insane bluffs, and quickly ran my stack up to almost double my initial buyin. Pops, and Mikey were at the table with me, but niether one of them could rib me, because I was making all my money on the table early on, and they were waiting in the wings, for the chance to strike.
That strike came a little before ten or so. Im in the small blind, waiting for my chance to act. Couple of limps around to me, I call. Pops decides to reraise for another 25 on top(per Pops account on md-poker.com). Folds around me, I decide to call.
Flop:2/3/9 of clubs.
Me: I check Pops
Pops: I have aces, so I make it 50 to go
Me: You really have Aces Pops?
Pops: I have Aces, with the nut club, and steel wheel draw.
Me: Really? Ok, Im all in.
Pops:( a minute of thinking) I call.
Me: I got the nutflush.
Pops:........................................................................................................................
And there you have a it ladies and gentlemen, no need to any further, except to say, I cashed out a little under 800, and Pops and Mikey walked away with nada. Se La Vi.

Your still a bad player and I do hate you. But at this point, I would much rather be lucky than good like you right now, that would be awesome if I could a hand that was 88% to win and ACTUALLY win it.
Oh, ok, if you hate me, then fuck you, I dont know what else to put there, asshole maybe?
