Always fishy if someone raises $14 preflop lol...btw it was right after he lost to me when I had 77 on a queen high board.
In the above tourney, I had the weirdest hand happen. With 6 people left and final 4 getting paid. I pick AKc in the BB. Everyone folds and the SB, chipleader, limps. I raise it up to $2,000, about half my chips and he calls. Flop comes Ace high and I go all in, and he calls with.......AA!? WTF that hand was weird on so many levels! First what the hell is the likelihood of that happening...actually high in online poker...but it's retarded in so many levels...
In other news, my sharkscope numbers have gone up to profit of $995 and Avg. ROI 7%. Freaking should have won a $11 45 player sitngo on friday night...i was headsup with even stacks and we went all in with AK vs. A5. Obviously he hit his 5.

So Close....
So I played in $20 180 person tourney today... I had a really good start, constantly chipping up with no major confrontations. The structure was good because I wasn't playing a turbo, which I have been doing in the past. Eventually, I started picking up good hands in great situations.
The first major double up was my AA vs AK on a King high flop. After that, it seemed like everytime I had AK, AQ pushed preflop and it always held. Kevin was railing me the whole time, and I said to him how it seems like I won every single 80/20, 60/40 allins. Things were definitely rolling as I grinded my way up to the chip lead and held it all the way until the final table.
I was in great shape to take the whole final table to domination when this hand came up. I was so pissed because I would have been dominant chip leader. Never losing a coinflip though finally caught up to me.

BB (t46810)

UTG+1 (t47805)
MP1 (t13610)

Hero (t74361)
Button (t18233)
Preflop: Hero is CO with Ah, Kd.
2 folds, MP1 raises to t4000, 1 fold, Hero raises to t15000, Button raises to t18133, 2 folds, MP1 folds, Hero calls t3133.
Flop: (t40766) Td, Th, 6s (2 players)
Turn: (t40766) Qd (2 players)
River: (t40766) 3s (2 players)
Final Pot: t40766
Results below:
Hero has Ah Kd (one pair, tens).
Button has Ad Qs (two pair, queens and tens).
Outcome: Button wins t40766.
I didn't go on tilt though, and maintained my compusure, even though I became card dead. I did make one great play, which helped me to maximize the pot.

River: (t15150) 5c (2 players)
Hero bets t8000, BB raises to t22400, Hero calls t14400.
Final Pot: t59950
Results below:
BB has Th 8c (two pair, aces and eights).
Hero has Ah 6c (three of a kind, aces).
Outcome: Hero wins t59950.
The check on that flop was a beauty!
Anyway, eventually we ended up 4 handed and I think I misplayed a hand with KQ vs 55 on a board of J10844. I bet $8000 on the river and he called. WTF!
That was pretty much it and I ended up in a very disappointing 4th for a cash of $288 and first place was $1050. Even getting 3rd would have got me $428.
Now I will proceed to kill myself.

weird things
its really weird because there are some consistent weird things that happen to everyone regarding online poker...like...
1) kevin can only win on full tilt
2) i can only win on pokerstars
3) kevin wins most of his $$ on sitngo's
4) i used to only win $$ on sitngo's but now I can't win one to save my life, and win only cash games
5) i never seem to be able to win playing on a labtop...it's weird I've noticed this for like 4 years...i think mentally because the screen is so small, i can't make good decisions or something.
so with that in the last two days...because i've tried to play with my labtop i'm down
start : $670
end : $513
It actually could have been alot worse, ALOT. I basically got on tilt and joined a $120 turbo headsup...lol...
We grinded back in forth, with no big hands until the blinds jumped to 50/100. With both of us literally back at our starting stack of $1,500. I limped with A8, he raised to $300 with QcJc, and I pushed all in. He called. Flop came 8 8c 3c..I was literally expecting the club to come, so that my loss would only hurt more. How a club did not win, I still don't know.

ridiculous rush of cards
Poker is such a weird game because I swear at times it's impossible to hit 1 Pair...let alone top pair...you have pocket pairs for 5 hrs hitting zero sets...you have 100 flush draws that never hit, open enders never come...and you wonder, is poker somehow rigged against you...
then you have days where everything freaking hits and you think what the hell...the one bad thing is I think, dammit i'm wasting my rush at a freaking .25/.50 table...haha
So I sat down 4 Tabling .25/.50 buying in for $25 a piece.
Immediately I was down 3 buy-ins from my AK vs 68 on a 644 board, my straight vs. someone's rivered flush, and top pair smaller kicker.
At this point my rush happened...I didn't even win much, but I freaking hit every hand possible on all 4 tables... I can't even write about how many hands and in what order, so I'm just going to start posting any and every hand within literally a 20 minute span...
Table #1 - The most exciting table with no bad beats
Hand #1 - I knew he had AQ before I even checked!
SB ($51.10)
Hero ($27.85)
UTG ($51.95)
MP ($23)

then you have days where everything freaking hits and you think what the hell...the one bad thing is I think, dammit i'm wasting my rush at a freaking .25/.50 table...haha
So I sat down 4 Tabling .25/.50 buying in for $25 a piece.
Immediately I was down 3 buy-ins from my AK vs 68 on a 644 board, my straight vs. someone's rivered flush, and top pair smaller kicker.
At this point my rush happened...I didn't even win much, but I freaking hit every hand possible on all 4 tables... I can't even write about how many hands and in what order, so I'm just going to start posting any and every hand within literally a 20 minute span...

last one in awhile
Going to head out to Minnesota tomorrow for a conference, and then straight to LA to meet my cousin! Will be back next Wednesday.
2 Tabling - I felt like playing some multi-sit n gos - I haven't done well recently in these, and I think it's because I'm not gambling enough in the beginning because a) I'm not paying enough attention because I'm usually focusing on the cash tables and b) i'm trying to play too safe which is not effective in a turbo tournament...lets see how i do...
Table #1
NL Turbo $11 + 1 45 players
Limped in with JJ UTG, 4 players see flop of KQ4...I fold
Nothing going on down to $1,200 chips with blinds at 50/100
83, 72, 84, 95 I haven't had a single premium hand in both tourneys...
Won a small pot with AQ vs KK who was short stacked. I flop Q, turn Ace. At around $2K still
GG pushed with 8 6 when everyone folded to me, instacalled by KJ.
Table #2
NL Turbo $11+1 180 players
Bleh raised with KJ pre, button calls. Flop K54. I bet he calls. Turn 2, I bet he calls. River Q, I check he bets pot, I call. He flips over QQ, lol. I lost like $500 of my $1,500 already. I'm thinking that guy was calling the whole way thinking his QQ was good, so maybe I minimized my loss.
Even more nothing going on down to $700 chips with blinds at 50/100 - Desperation time
Yes tripled up in the big blind...lol
