Saturday Suckouts vs. Me

Today will be interesting. Afternoon tournaments on the 2nd most poon day on PS.
I will be starting with:

$4/180
- AK vs JJ..he flops a set..you will notice a trend here.

$3 NLH- QQ vs 99, a big pot, 99 flops a set.

$5/15k Guarantee- AK vs 10s, 10s turn a set.

$2 PLO H/L- I CASHED the crap shoot! 47th of 459 for $4.21.

NIGHT TIME TOURNAMENTS

$5 NLH- 157th of 1098, cash for $8.78.

$4 FL 5-Card - I vow to never do this donkathon again. Went 0-12 on flush draws.

$2/2500 Guarantee NLH- 475th of 2916, cashed for $2.91.

Nothing that impressive but 3 out of 7 tournaments isn't bad for a Saturday. No poon of the day today, but keep reading for tomorrow: IDS of the Week and our least-favorite day on PS, The Sunday Morons.

8.29.2008

What a joke.

What did I do to ps today? I've lost 30 bucks today and it's not even 2pm. Here are my bs results so far. After I get ousted from this 2 buck 180 poon-off, I'm done for a while.

10c poon at 10AM - Who cares.
1 buck PLHE at 10:15 - I raise the bb w/ KQ. He calls. I flop top pair and bet. He calls, and the turn is a harmless looking 8. I bet again, he shoves and I call. He had k8. Offsuit. Poon.
3 buck razz - I screwed myself in this. Slowplayed a low when a guy had high cards and naturally he runners a better low. Then I wasn't paying attention and didn't raise the bring in. He called when I bet on 4th and of course won with a Q low.. All I needed to do was pull a card that didn't pair me. I paired.
2-7 Single Draw table - lost 11 bucks. Usually I clean those up. If I lose, I bounce back. Morons limping with 9 lows and standing pat. Idiots outdrawing me. Whatever
6 buck heads up - Faced an intellipoon. No chance. Calling station/preflop raiser/called all ins with any two cards. I got rivered with AJ vs his 79.
5 buck 9 player - Just got ousted. I took an early lead doubling with KK vs QQ. I blinded away, lost chips, and then I got all in with a small blind straight. The board was 10 10 9 J with two diamonds. I bet the flop and turn and got called. I had 8Q and the river was a 3 of diamonds. I bet hard and got reraised. I figured I was beat by a flush but I called anyway. Naturally, he had 10 3 suited. Friggin bs.

Just awaiting my poonage in this turbo junk. Great start to the day.

Result: Naturally, I got all in with top pair off the flop. A donkey calls 1/3 his stack with an up and down straight draw. Of course, PS turns it for him. Another hee-haw helper. I just can't beat idiots, and they're everywhere today. It must be Sunday.

8.28.2008

Winstar...Broke Even?

A long day led to a no gain. I played at the cash tables for about 8 hours, and it was slow. I walked away up $175 on the nose (since I was incredibly card dead) I walked over to a Three Card Poker Table. This game involves no skill what so ever. You either win big or lose quickly. I would typically say avoid this game but It has been extremely kind to me in the past...not today. I sat there with my winnings from the poker room and lost it. A long day that turned out to be just for fun.

Anyway, Pete has a blogging issue, Doesn't like to blog whenever I leave early. But tonight is nothing special, just Two $4/180s and then most likely hitting the sack.

Keep reading to see my finishes.

$4/180- 18th, just eeked in the cash for $8.64.
$4/180- 40th, my AK ran into AA

Night poons

8.27.2008

Poons > Limit Holdem (FT # 50)

It's incredible. I witnessed one of the biggest donk fests known to ps. In the $4 FL Holdem I got the privilege to see a moron re-raise with q3 and q9 preflop and dominate after being called down to the river. Those tournaments are equivalent to playing the lottery.

Today was a non-eventful day. Yea, I made my 50th Final Table, but it was a 9th place finish. A 2-7 tournament day and I went out in style.

$8 NLH- This tournament is starting to piss me off. Damn Donk-a-palooza

$4/180
- 9th place for a cash of $12.24. My AA lost to J10. Go figure.

$2.5 NLH- 133rd of 4,014. Cashed for $13.05.

$1 FL Omaha- I take that back, this tournament is one of the biggest crap-shoots on the site.

$1 Stud H/L- After a 2nd place finish earlier in the week, I managed to fall 50 from the cash. My 236 suited got me all in and I ended up missing everything as usual.

$4 FL Holdem- No need to make me rant anymore about this, I already have enough stress in my life.

$4/180- This was the Cherry on top of a donk-filled evening. I was short stacked with about 700. Blinds were 25/50. I have q7 of hearts and call a minimum raise since 4 other players called. The flop was 8h 5h 2d. Table checked to the bluffer who bet out 150. I, being short stacked and on a flush draw, shoved hoping to get lucky, or what should of been all folds. The idiot insta-calls with AJ (Ace high) and like always, I miss. Any Q,7, or heart and I double up. When I have 15 outs I'm guaranteed a miss but when I'm up against a lower pp for the 2outer. I'm toast.

Winstar all day tomorrow kids. G'night poons.

Welcome To Chase's Patio--Reincarnation Style!!

Reincarnation, literally "to be made flesh again", is a doctrine or metaphysical belief that some essential part of a living being (in some variations only human beings) survives death to be reborn in a new body. This essential part is often referred to as the spirit or soul, the "higher" or "true" self, "divine spark", or "I". According to such beliefs, a new personality is developed during each life in the physical world, but some part of the self remains constant throughout the successive lives



Before we jump into the segment, let me update you from the last segment.

THE RACE RESULTS

Gold
- How could you doubt me..c'mon now. I was in first the entire way.

Silver- My sister finished about 30-45 seconds behind me. I was all worked up for nothing.

The Poon Medal- My girlfriend sadly took this down, after talking smack to me all night long, she ended up walking the back half..it was a sad sight.

Now onto the segment. Everyone always wonders, "What is the correct religion or belief, if there even is one at all?" I, myself, am agnostic. I don't buy into the Christian non-sense (sorry if I made people pissed with that statement) but I dont buy it. As I sat on my patio chair relaxing, I thought to myself, you know what would be insane, as dumb as it may sound, if reincarnation was the answer. Think about it, your "spirit" would never die so in one life I would be me, the next life I would be something else. If that was the case, I would want to maintain my knowledge, so when I started my new life, I would have all the knowledge I had today..which would probably mean I would end up in a really good school, with a sh*t desk job, and a wife who all she does is nags. That sounds awful.... F*ck that. But on the flip-side. Think about all the assholes you have met throughout your life time, all those scumbags of the earth, they would come back through reincarnation as something awful.
Examples: George W. Bush would most likely come back as an anal bead for Elton John.The Founders of PokerStars would come back as the players on PokerStars, how do you like those 2 outers now? Bill Kaulitz, from that (sarcastic) awesome band of his would come back straight.

As I was deep in thought I realized I had a tournament to get back to. I wished for a split second I could be reincarnated to an awful poker player, so I might be able to have success on this donk site.

That will do it for Chase's Patio... I think that chair has a permanent ass impression...

Final Table #49 With More To Go

Today started out rough, but has picked up over my last two tournaments.

$5-15k Guarantee NLH- Didn't even last an hour.

$1 FL 5-card- Do I need to repeat myself ^^

$2-4max- After A strong first table win, my second table made me feel like I was in a freeroll. I got turned by trips after the moron called my preflop raise with j7 and then called my flop raise with low pair.

$4/180
- FT # 49, I placed 6th for $36.00. The hand below helped me coast to the FT.

I decided to gamble since that player was making loose raises all game long. I re-raised after her raise and for only 1700 more, she insta-folded. Have to love donks who commit themselves then fold when pot-odds are extremely in their favor.

$2-2k Guarantee NLH- Cashed. 83rd out of 1647 for $4.94

$4/180- Pete and I had a solid tourney outing. I had the best finish in 82nd. If that says anything. Two for Six isnt bad, with an FT. The BR went up today.

Night poons

Solid Tournament Day, Yet BR Goes Down.

$8 NLH- KQ vs AA, I was all in post flop after check raising with top two. Naturally, the board paired giving his AA the better 2pair.

$2.5 NLH- I did so good in this I don't even remember what ousted me in the first hour.

$1 NLH 6 pm ET- I bubbled this one by about 40 people from the cash. Naturally, I made my move and was a coinflip. I swear these coins are "heads" on both sides. Guess which one I represent?

$2 PLO H/L- This tournament, skill-wise, is equivalent to the 25c tournament. I cashed in 62nd of 500 for $3.20. That is almost a win in my book.

$1 NLH 7pm ET- I had another two-headed coinflip late with my AK vs 10s that cost me. I cashed in 75th out of 1706 people for $2.56

$15 NLH- Normally this is my most solid tournament. I have my biggest cash in my PS career from this tournament but I never got it going, but its better then playing for 3 hours and missing the cash by 30 or so. Must of sucked to get 135th. (just messin P)

$5 NLH- My best run of the day comes up short. I got 45th of 977 for $14.66. A standard river card to a tilting raiser cost me. He donks off half his stack and picks up AK after my raise. Naturally, I lose on the river. (hand below)

You know what PS's me off?

In the second edition of "You know what really PS's me off?" I tackle a new problem that has arisen on pokerstars...

PS slapping the green "guaranteed money" tag to every tournament really PS's me off. That stupid payout structure that the guaranteed tourneys have ruins good tourneys like the 11AM 1 buck and the 11pm two buck. It's just a stupid money scheme since PS has been losing players. Idiots see shiny green letters and think it means something. All it is is psychology coercing these poons into playing more tourneys. PS guarantees a dollar amount that easily gets passed with regular registrations, but yet somehow, as my research shows, idiots flock to tourneys when they have green letters.

Sunday is the highest traffic day on pokerstars. Here are the entry numbers for 5 of the recently guaranteed tourneys on Sunday, August 24th.

In the $2.50+.25, about 3000 people played. In Monday's guaranteed tourtney, 4275 people were in.
In the 6:15pm 5 buck 6 max, 924 players registered on Sunday. After guaranteed money was added, 1470 played on Monday.
2 buck at 8:15PM on Sunday: 990. Monday: 1674
2 buck 6 max at 9:15PM on Sunday: 763 Monday: 1782

Sink your teeth into that last one. The prize pool on Sunday was $1,526. After they say "$1,500 guaranteed," an extra THOUSAND IDIOTS register. The prize pool would have still been $1,500 but these clueless morons flood the tourney.

PS must be making a fortune in rake just from these higher guarantees alone. Like they don't have all the money in the world from the table rakes. It's a joke. You'd think the least they could do is improve the tournaments, not fill them with more jackasses. As if there weren't enough poons already playing on PS.

It boggles my mind that putting a label like guaranteed money on a game attracts so many morons. I wonder if PS would have gotten the same results if they used a different color. You tell me what's more appealing:

[$1,000 Guaranteed] or [$1,000 Guaranteed]

Only if the poons were colorblind....

Today's Results live

Figured instead of recapping my day, I'll just live blog all my tourneys and oustings. Here's the list of tourney's I'm doing so far:

3 buck NLHE at 12: Our POTD leading candidate just ousted me.
Result: I shoved my remaining 900 after two limp ins with JJ. 9 J offsuit makes a solid call for half his stack. Naturally, the flop is 7 8 10. Game over. You just cant beat morons.

5 buck holdem shootout sng out of 16: Won my first hu. I got pooned big time with KK. K4 called all in preflop, and naturally he runners a flush, leaving me with 600. I rallied though and won it.
Update: Won my second match. Was against another moron, and I made a solid read. I limped with JK offsuit and he checked the bb. I flopped top pair and turned trips. We both checked to the river and he bet out 120 (blinds 30/60). I made it 300, and he insta-min-raised to 480. I thought for a bit. Since there was no draw on board and I figured he didn't have my J kicker beat, I raised all in. He called with K5, and I took him down. Guaranteed 12 bucks with a chance at 36.
Next match in a few minutes.
Result: Lost my next match. The dude was a complete donkey. I got him all in preflop with QQ, and naturally he had AA. I hit the Q on the flop, but of course he re-two-outered me on the river. Just can't win. I was on tilt and got all in with 2s, and he calls with A5 and turned me. What else is new. Cashed for 12 bucks.

2 buck turbo 3k guaranteed at 140: Doubled up early vs the big blind. I raised his blind w/ KK, he reraised, I put him all in and he called with JJ. I held. Haven't had a hand since.
Result: Ousted via a 4 way all in. Dude raises 4x to 400. After 4 calls, I shoved w/ QQ in the big blind for 3600. 3 people called. It was my QQ vs another QQ, 99, and a moron who calls off half his stack with A7. What do you know, an A comes on the turn. Can't beat donkey bs.

6 buck 5 card turbo sng: I hit a 3 card boat and so did another player. My queens full owned his 9s full and I took a big time lead. I'm surrounded by idiots though, so I'll probably still bubble.
Result: Victory. I sat on that early chip lead until we got 3 handed. I caught a garbage run of cards but I took out the short stack and then dominated heads up. The guy was just too easy to beat. He'd play any pair, so I just waited for a good hand and owned him.

1 buck fixed 5 card at 230: Not doing much early. I'm up about 100. This tourney starts when the stakes go up though. The first half hour or so is all about taking chances and staying afloat.
Update: Typical bs. I get dealt trip Q's and a guy hits broadway. Big pot, too.
Result: Just got ousted. Don't even know where, but if you get ousted in the first hour, it blows. Another outdraw.

1.50 fixed holdem at 3: Bunch of idiots at my table. Thats expected in the beginning of a limit tourney.
Update: Just knocked the table idiot out. Moron kept reraising me with J high when I had pocket kings.
Update: Flopped a set with pocket 2s. Board was 2 8 6 K 10 with no flush draws so I had a raise-a-thon with this idiot. Of course, he had pocket kings. 7 9 suited took the main pot. Lost over half my stack.
Another Update: Idiots max-raised preflop before it was even my turn, and I had AK. I flopped top top and wound up splitting 3 pots with another guy. Back where I was before that 22 bs. At break with 3429 in chips.
Made the cash: I have just under 15k in chips. Looking to make a deep run, since the payouts blow for just cashing.
In position: to make a nice run. I raped a dude with JK offsuit when I flopped top two and rivered a boat. He kept betting his bottom pair like a tool. Have just about 30k in that.
Break 3: Just under 22k. Took a few hits. 17th of 33
Ousted: Typical PS. I get AA in the bb and reraise. After the flop is 8 10 Q, I get myself all in. Of course, I lose to pocket 10s. Cashed for a depressing $3.79. Still kicking in the 8.

8 buck nlhe at 4 w/ Chase: AQ first hand, and took a nice pot to start things off.
Update: Chase got ousted by typical ps bs. I'm looking good with 2755 in chips.
At break: My stacks going in reverse. I had 3600 but I'm down to 2380. 144 Cash
Double up: Shoved with AQ and the bb called with jacks. I flopped two pair and held. at 3500 now. 150 from cash.
At break 2: With 5650 in chips. Just a few away from the cash. Looks like I'll be doing the 15 buck tonight at 10pm.
Cashed: Now to get some chips and take down that 1500 bucks.
....Yea, right.
Ousted: Went all in with pocket 8s from the big blind. The button raised w/ A9 and flopped a 9. Nothing I could do. Made 16 bucks.

15 buck at 10pm w/ chase: He got pooned out of the tourney in the first hour (seems to be a pattern, eh?) Meanwhile, I doubled off a hump who called my all in with a gutshot. Miraculously, I held. I was card dead the rest of the way though. I got all in with pocket 10s from the small blind after a guy with 3000 raised to 750 (125/250 blinds). He called with 8s. The only question was if the 8 was coming on the flop, turn, or river. Of course, it came on the turn and I missed the draw it gave me, so I finished 35 from the cash. Stupid ps.

I'm done for the day.

Another Day--Another Ft

My day was pretty weak leading up to my last tournament. On the day I went 3-10 in tournaments and got my 48th final table, notching my 10th second place finish. I was 2nd out of 344 in the $1 stud h/l tournament, cashing for $51.43. But beside that, all was poor. I cashed the $5 tournament for $9.06 and barely cashed the $1 tournament for my buy-in and some change.

The BR went up though thanks to that deep run. When you make money on a Sunday it's always good, those poons are rough.

Classes start back up tomorrow for me so any early morning tourneyage on Monday/Wednesday/Friday is unlikely (I'm very prone to skip) So keep reading for my afternoon tournaments tomorrow.

G'night poons

The "Best" IDs of the week...

This week was weak as far as IDs go. Very weak. I'll try to make the best of it though. Don't hate me.

Checking in as the #5 ID of the week: JustBlazed - With nearly 6 grand in earnings, this proves that marijuana in fact does NOT hinder poker ability.

#4: OMGiFARTED - This one makes the list since there wasn't much better. And, well, I just ate taco bell.

#3: dopeystars - How true it is. Dopey isn't the best choice of words, but anytime somebody takes a shot at PS, they belong on my list.

#2: SmokeDaTree - Keeping with the theme, this is further proof that PS is a bunch of pot smoking idiots with their heads up their farting a$$es. Also came across the ID "DaTree" this week. No relation, I hope.

And your top ID of the week, with help from his image:

#1: vbadplayer

What's so great about this? vbadplayer just happened to be an intellipoker player. We know intellipoons are the worst, but his name and image combo earn him top honors in this week's IDs of the Week.

Honorable mention goes to "uoweme2bucks." I don't owe you jack, but nice originality.

Better IDs next week, I promise. I already have a bunch of the list that are 10 times better than this week's garbage. If you have a quality ID, make yourself known.

What a sucky day.

1-5 in tournaments today. The only cash I had was in the 20FPP WCOOP satellite. 198 got paid, and I got 197th. Not exactly the best of runs.

I got nowhere in the stud h/l, got screwed in the 5 buck, followed up my 4 buck 5 card final table with a garbage finish somewhere in the 120s, and bubbled my league game. Garbage.

I'm going to do some tables and sng's to get my wasted money back. IDs next...

8.24.2008

Our POTD is too rich for our blood.

In the Summer Games 08 limit holdem freeroll today, I had a moron named "TeddyKGBtx" at my table. He took a bad beat from a guy named shadgut who made a solid call, and then went on a rant.

TeddyKGBtx said, "thats why i hate these bunch of idiots with n bankroll"
TeddyKGBtx said, "your a suerstar shad"
TeddyKGBtx said, "get a bankroll shad then talk to me"
TeddyKGBtx said, "im looking at your stats they blow"
TeddyKGBtx said, "u ight have a br but theres not profit"

I was card dead so I figured I'd db these freeroll idiots. The results were fascinating.

Shad had a respectable 575 dollars in tourney earnings. Not sure what TeddyKGPoon was looking at. So I pulled up his stats. He had 4 digit earnings, only there was a decimal in the middle. Thats right, this hump was going on about shad's stats when he only had 10 bucks earned. What a sad schmuck.

After I pointed out thqat his stats took it in the rear, he went on and said he earned over 350 grand. Okay pal. Richie Rich over here some how has $350k when he's made $10.63 in tourney earnings. POON

Final Table #11

Went deep in the 4 buck fixed 5 card tonight. I caught a crappy run of cards at the final table, and idiots kept doubling the short stacks up. I shoulda got top 3, but I finished 4th and got paid 49 bucks for my efforts.

My finalk hand, i was in the bb, which was 6k. I had 14k going in, and got to see the draw. I had A high so I dropped 4 and pulled aces. I shoved after the draw, and naturally, the opponent pulled trip kings. What else is new.

Tomorrow night, me and Chase are likely going to do the 15 buck at 10PM, my biggest tourney to date. I'll probably do a "What PS's me off" segment sometime, as well as IDs of the week. Check back.
