Vegas here we come

I was a victim of online fraud with my debit card which is bitch, but luckily most of my money is in cash and not in the bank. So its been a hassle and it looks to be mostly pain free to claim my stolen money. In any case it only puts a slight damper on things before I head to Vegas. I've decided instead of the 7 card stud event ill either play in a Bellagio Cup event or play a mid Nl game, im guessing 10/20. 15/30 NL., then on the 29th ill play in the 2.2k Nl event. If things really so super crazy well for me in Vegas like if hit a 6 figure score, im going to quit my job and stay in Vegas til the end of the WSOP.

Wish me luck everyone my supporters from here at home and in the Philippines.

Cash Game Report

today after work my family and I went shopping then into the casino. Went into the Nike store and bought some air jordan shirts and tiger woods golf shirts which I plan to wear in Vegas. Went TV shopping at the Sony store and we have our eye set on this 42 inch Bravia once our room remodel is done, all we got there was a self picture development machine. Now on to the poker, the game was 3-5 NL, I bought in for 200, I was on the button with 99 and raised it 25. The SB who has alot of money and was opening alot of pots as well as making moves made it 60, the BB Calls. I decided to push in, I get called by SB's QQ and BB AK suited. No help for me so im busto. Then I rebuy for another 200 i have AA UTG, I raise it 35, two callers, including our villian to my left. Flop comes king, ten, 3. Action is to me, I can see guy to my left is itching to bet so I let him. He leads out for 60, fold, then I push in. He insta calls, he called me with K10 off and hit two pair. Im cash broke, so I calm myself down and hit up the ATM for 300 dollars. I rebuy after 1 hour and im placed at the same table again. I went on an insane run and all in with a flopped wheel, a flopped set, and top pair top kicker. All in all I cashed out for over 2,900. What a turn around in less than 40 minutes, I get up from the game after I called 350 dollar reraise on a 2, J, 7 board with AJ, guy who went all in had QJ! I now have a decent sized bankroll for Las Vegas to play in the cash games, and buy in to a WSOP event. Poker what a crazy game!

Never play poker when your mind is not 100%

So I get off work today, and my dad says Roxbury Casino has a 110 dollar tourny tonight. So im like COOL! ill play. I'm basically card dead the whole tournament, never tried to make a play, just pretty much ABC poker, til I finally pushed with A10 and was called with 55. Flop a 10, but he rivers a 5. Then kinda upset I was card dead, I played some 3/6 limit, I bought in for 100. After a few uneventful hands, im down to about 75 dollars. I have Q10 hearts in BB, it was raised UTG with like 7 other callers. Flop is queen ten seven, its capped turn is 2 of hearts, capped to the turn with me and this other guy. At this point I tell the other guy you can beat two pair?, so i check the river, and FOLD! THINKING 2 PAIR WAS NO GOOD, WHILE I ACTUALLY HAD A QUEEN HIGH FLUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FOLD MY HAND FACE UP SAYING TWO PAIR NO GOOD, HE SHOWS A SET OF QUEENS, THEN SOMEONE SAYS YOU HAVE A FLUSH!! BUT I ALREADY MUCKED!.............................THE POT WAS WELL OVER 100 DOLLARS! JUST GOT UP FEELING LIKE A STUPID JACKASS AND WENT HOME.........

1 week later, tenative WSOP schedule

Well its 1 week since I declared id quit poker for a while, well I realized ill never stop playing poker. Just needed this time off to think about things regarding poker. In any case I will be going with my parents to Las Vegas June 28th to celebrate my mom's birthday. Looking at the WSOP schedule, I can play events 46 and 47. 46 is a 7 card stud hi/lo event, I love 7 card stud hi, but I am still shaky on the lo part of things. 47 is a NL hold em event so im kinda excited about that, with that said these are just tentative plans and I hope it wont get in the way of family time. If that doesnt pan out, I'll play a tournament at the Bellagio. There are the daily 500 dollar tournaments and satellites to the WPT Bellagio Cup events.
