Time for a talk

To my readers who are few in numbers but readers nonetheless. Another fruitless Saturday night, well scratch that my brother sold a car, so half of the takings make me a little bit happy. Next weekend brings on the WSOP riches and Las Vegas trappings, but I am ready to take it head on. Right now as I read this Toto Leonidas is the chip leader at the Omaha championship event, lets hope next week this Filipino will be atop some WSOP chip count. We also have Manny Pacquiao fighting on Saturday so I hope I can have enough chips provided I last that long to watch the fight with David Diaz. Looks like Manny didnt take this man seriously and im concerned because this Diaz is no joke. He has been having the training camp of his life in order to prepare for Pacman, while Pac has just seem to coast on through and hope that will be enough for this foe.

I id also like to publicly apologize to my friend and online backer for a couple of days, I didnt play my best and I got too overconfident. If I get some of that WSOP cash ill take care of ya, how bout that? Right now I feel with poker that I have finally progressed to take that next step, and I have totally took my game to a new level now. What that means in terms of cold hard cash, remains to be seen. As for my job its going smoothly for now, and I hope a few little things I am putting off doesnt come back and bite me in the ass.

Songs i love at the moment

Katy Perry-i kissed a girl...got i walk around horny all day after hearing that song on my iphone while on the way to work. Plus it helps that Katy Perry is super cute in the video and allows me to fantasize about other women..haha

Madonna/JT/Timbaland--4 minutes, man this song just makes we wanna dance like no one is watching....but then again someone always is therefore making an ass of myself in public..

Still winning and played with a WSOP champion

Well this is positive variance for sure, I am playing really good right now. Just crushing the 3-5 NL games at the Muckleshoot and Tulalip. I havent had a losing session since I have gotten back from the Philippines. Only losing session was 100 dollars playing 3-6 limit, which is basically donkey/no fold em hold em. I manged to turn an initial buy in of $300 into $1243 after 7 hours of play. Major hand of night was QQ in BB. With 5 limpers, I then raise it to 30. 3 callers, flop is 7, 3, Q. I check, raise of 30 every one folds, i call, turn is a king, I check he bets out 100 I push in and I have him covered for 600. He calls he holds k7, river no king. I take down a huge pot.I have been making the right plays, right bluffs, right laydowns, I am just playing so above the rim right now as my idol Phil Hellmuth Jr likes to say.

I also unknowingly played with Christian Van Hees, who is a WSOP bracelet winner, with multiple final table appearances. Turns out to be a nice guy who just loves to play poker, they werent having the 5/10 NL game going, so thats why some of those players were at the 3/5 game.

Whats next for me

well since coming back from the Philippines ive won over 2k from four sessions.

thats whats next to me the coast 2 coast canadian poker championship. Ill probably play a small event then a super satellite for the main event. Other than that hope to gain some momentum before the WSOP in late June

Its no longer FUN

poker is no longer fun, losing isnt fun, playing well and losing, doing the right
things and losing.. Ill probably come out of poker hiding when I get to the Philippines

decisions,decisions...and an IPHONE!!

On the poker front I played one hell of a tournament at the Diamond Lil's Triple Crown 120 dollar event. Played well and ran well in tournament, just forgot to change gears a bit and gambled in a hand I shouldn't of even if I was big favorite on flop. After that tournament I have ran just as bad as anyone can playing low limit limit hold em. 4/8, 3/6 , and one session of 2-40 spread just playing those limits in a few sessions have crushed me to the tune of almost 2,000 dollars. Took alot of beats but I don't sweat it anymore like I used to, guess this is just the way the ebb and flow of low limit LH. I would love to play the NL games but they are just too far to play on a normal basis, 40-45 min north to Tulalip, or to the Muckleshoot which is 30 min to the south. Now I have decided to slow down and put a normal monthly poker trip to Vancouver, Canada on hold. Been going out alot lately and spending too much money, in addition to the poker losses it has depleted funds dramatically. On the bright side I do have my new shiny IPHONE, I love, love, love it, even if it did set me back quite a few Benjamins on it. My brother now wants to trade his N92 for it, im like HELL NO!

Back to the poker side of things, now im seriously debating whether I should play in the Northwest Poker Championships...

http://www.tulalipcasino.com/events.aspx#Event_Details just scroll down to the 100k NW poker championships to look at the structure.

Usually, I wouldnt even think twice about playing, but ive lost and spent an abnormal amount of money this month without winning. Plus with the event 4 days away from the trip to the Philippines, 600 bucks would take a chunk out of the PI poker fund should I not do well in the tourny. But im 80% sure ill be playing in it, with an expected 40k to the winner, and an anticipated 150k prize pool its well worth it. I'll probably prepare for the tournaments by playing in the daily 30 dollar tournaments at the Roxbury Lanes casino.

On to other things in my life, tomorrow I start my strict diet and crazy exercise regimen. I have a little less than a month to look halfway decent before I get to the Philippines. Well to anyone that read this, I thank you for your interest and support. Wish me luck while on the green felt, and off it. Take care everyone

side notes...I am officially a Maging Sino Ka Man addict, I love it

and a warning to Richard Guiterrez you best not be messing with my woman KC...ill be very angry!!!!!!

Its been a while

lost 1k playing 5-10 NL, where i flopped a set of 5s vs AA and he made a straight on river. Happy Birthday to me. Philippines in one month. WOO!

Nightmare Final Table

played this 60 dollar deep stack tourny. I came into the final table as chip leader and what ensued at this table was horror. Took first hit when KQ outflopped my AK, 2nd hit again came with AK losing to 4,5, and final nail in coffin was AJ outflopped my 99. All plays were preflop. I even got a penalty after the first hit because i was slamming my chips around. Funny thing is my dad made the final table with me and none of us were able to cash.
