Who doesn't love Dick? (IDs of the Week)

2008-09-01T00:24:00.004-04:00

This weeks IDs of the week came early in the week. After last week's pitiful list, I decided to make this one a top 10, because theres so many to choose from.

10. FlatDrPepper - I'd rather have flat dr. pepper than a flat chick in bed.
9. KillerPot - Paging the creators of Superbad; your next movie should be "When Weed Attacks"
8. dupidstonk - Because everyone on stoker pars is a dupid stonk.
7. SeriousBacon - This guy wasn't messing around. His image was strips of bacon. Great name/image combo, sir.
6. HughJa$$ - Because everyone loves a hugh jass. I know I do.
5. NotherDonk - I say this at least 50 times a day playing on PS.
4. solid - What do I think about this ID? It's pretty solid.
3. FoldUrCrap - If only these poons did, maybe I'd win some money every now and then.
2. Mike Madusow - Gotta love the copycat poon who can't spell it right. Although I'm not sure I want to play online imitating a guy who once lost $1 million bucks in one day online.

And this week's top ID

1. DickCheney - When you're country is run by two guys named Bush and Dick, you know you're screwed. Hopefully if you got this far, you can understand that this blog's title is meant in a completely heterosexual way.

Hopefully next week's list is solid and not full of dupid stonks. Later poons.

Almost a 21-grand-aire.

2008-08-31T22:37:00.002-04:00

I played one tourney today. It turned out to be my best cash ever.

I did the 21k poon Sunday 200k guaranteed. I started out playing like garbage, bluffing off half my stack, not getting value out of big hands. I said with about 13k people left that I just want to be out and that I'm in no mood to play anymore.

I managed to stay afloat after bouncing around for the first two hours, and then I somehow took off. I won so many big hands I can't even remember them. I was stalling right at the break with barely enough chips to play with. I had to shove 6700 with A4 offsuit utg with the blinds at 1500/3000. I rivered trips and tripled up. After that, I doubled up a bunch of times. Soon enough, I had the chips to make a run. Like I said, I don't remember the big hands. I just know I had AA a lot. One that sticks in my mind, I had 7s in early position and limped. a short stack of 9600 shoved with 2500/5000 blinds. the sb called it. I had about 48000 chips and I reraised him all in, putting him on garbage. He folded and I isolated against AK. I flopped trips (if only I called the all in instead of isolating) and held up. that set me up.

Long story short, I kept dominating with impressive all in after impressive all in. I didn't bluff at many pots. I only stole the blinds a few times. Most of my chips came from big all in hands. I wound up placing 76th for a 326 dollar cash. My previous high cash was only 96 bucks. That run brought the bankroll near 500, another all time high. THAT CLOSE to 21 grand. Maybe next week...

I have too much blogging to do so I'll just briefly go over todays POTD. He came to my 200k table with 57k in chips, which at the time was top 100 out of 8000. He was ousted in 10 minutes. The first hand, he shoved all in with a2 suited and lost to AK. He reraised all in after a min raise with A2 offsuit, raised 3x the bb preflop in early position with 9 10 offsuit, and wound up shoving his last 24K with A7 off. He lost again to AK, and today's poon of the day didn't even come close to cashing. If I had 57k in that tournament early on, I'd sit on it. I wouldn't donk it away. His name was fraundcamera. What a poon.

IDs of the week coming next, and believe me there are some beauties.

Sunday Poons < Pete and I

2008-08-31T22:23:00.002-04:00

A successful Sunday. On Sunday, when you walk away from PS down a little or break even, it's a huge success. I managed to do OK, my br as of right now is up for the day. Pete on the other hand had his best cash of his career, but I won't spoil it for you guys. I was 2 for 6 in tournament play, with one to go. I had a solid run in the $5/15k but that was about it.

$1/1k Guarantee- I had to shove short stacked with 10 9 of hearts. I got called by KQ clubs and AJ. The flop was 5h 6h 7c. ANY 8,9,10 or heart for the win. I missed both cards, go figure.

$5/15k Guarantee- I had a solid run but lost a coinflip that would of put me in contention for a solid run. My AK lost to 99 leaving me with 20k, a win there puts me at 140k. I didn't last much longer. Finishing 85th of 4,257 for a cash of $31.93.

$1 FL 5-Card- Did I mention last segment that I hate 5-card?

$10/200k Guarantee- I got ousted right before the first break. I was all in with AK for a 7k pot vs QQ. I flopped top pair, yet I got rivered by the 2outer. It happens regularly.

$1 NLH 6 ET- I cashed, but not for sh*t. My QQ got flopped by QJ (8 9 10) finished 232nd out of 1937 for a cash of a whopping $1.93.

$2/4max- I got hu, which is where I normally dominate, but I was short stacked and had to get all in. My K9 lost to A7.

$4/180- To Be Determined.

Either way, regardless of the 180, my br went up today. I believe that is back to back Sunday's I've made money. Keep reading for Pete's Day and IDs of the week.

Winstar til tomorrow night so don't expect much from me until then.

By the Way

This will be my last Sunday to be playing any PS. I'm a NFL fan. I don't miss a down, so Sunday will be dedicated to football. Look forward to more Saturday tournaments, where I avoid the poons.

Saturday Suckouts vs. Me

2008-08-30T11:38:00.004-04:00

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.

What a joke.

2008-08-29T13:12:00.006-04:00

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.

Winstar...Broke Even?

2008-08-28T22:49:00.003-04:00

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

Poons > Limit Holdem (FT # 50)

2008-08-27T23:26:00.002-04:00

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!!

2008-08-27T00:34:00.006-04:00

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

2008-08-26T23:54:00.006-04:00

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.

2008-08-26T00:39:00.002-04:00

$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)

Tomorrow will be an all day PS day for me. Pete is poonin out to go fish so I will be in poons den tomorrow, alone.

You know what PS's me off?

2008-08-25T23:54:00.002-04:00

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

2008-08-25T12:28:00.027-04:00

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

2008-08-25T02:02:00.002-04:00

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...

2008-08-25T01:10:00.003-04:00

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.

2008-08-25T01:07:00.001-04:00

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...

Our POTD is too rich for our blood.

2008-08-24T01:10:00.002-04:00

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

2008-08-24T01:00:00.003-04:00

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.

$4/180's

2008-08-22T23:29:00.002-04:00

Pete and I will be taking part in the same $4/180. Not much playing today since we both had plans all day. Tomorrow I will be at Winstar most of the day so don't look for much action out of me until Sunday, where we face the idiots of PS. Stay tuned for updates.

I lost in the first one to a lower two card flush

In the second one I was short stacked and had to shove K10 suited (I hate that hand)

Kc 10c vs Qs Ts

flop: Ac 5c 5s

turn:Qh

riv: not a club or king

Another solid 2 outer. Night poons

Win # 8-- Final Table #46

2008-08-22T00:50:00.005-04:00

ABOUT TIME. This is posted out of position, the hands for the $4/180 victory are posted further below. I was so excited after winning I just flicked off the screen and closed it. The heads up vs autospepe lasted about an hour. I was up 148k to 124k and got pocket 10s in the bb. He was donk raising all heads up and I was just waiting patiently to trap him the entire time. I got my 10s, he raised to 32k (blinds only 2000/4000) I re-raised to 100k and he shoved...K7 off suit.

flop: A44
turn:3
river:2

VICTORY

I shoved here with 4 left because SFSlim has been raising huge all final table with any pair. I figured I was at worst a coinflip and it paid off. Dominated.

Slim just took a nice chunk from auto. We are all pretty much even, I have a slight lead and hope to seal the deal and get that 8th win.

As you know from the out of post-position blog I won the tournament for my 8th win. It is about time I went a tournament without getting rivered or two-outered.

w00t, night poons

POTD: Shaun Jackson

2008-08-21T23:41:00.002-04:00

One of The 2 Outer's good friends and biggest poons earns top honors for today. At a home game today, I raised with 9J suited in mid position. Our buddy Shaun calls with in the big blind. The flop came 9 J 3 with two hearts. I had spades. He checked. With one other player in the hand, I bet 75c (blinds were .05/.10 at this point). Shaun calls after a few seconds, and the other player folded. The turn was the Kd. He checked again, methodically, and came off weak. I bet $1.25, and he called again. The river was a 10. I obviously thought my two pair was solid. There's no way i put him on any sort of Q, unless it was 10Q. The way he was acting though, I knew he didnt turn the nuts. So out of nowhere, he bets 2.50. He usually calls down and puts a big river bet in on a bluff, so knowing this I instacalled. What does the poon flip? Q4 offsuit.

He called the flop with Q high and no draw, called the turn with a gutshot, and the lucky son of a female dog hits the prayer. I love giving money to idiots. He tried defending it of course, saying "he called with the intention of bluffing me." IF I RAISE PREFLOP AND BET THE ENTIRE WAY, DO YOU THINK IM FOLDING?

I wound up finishing up 5 bucks for the day. Got as high as 36 bucks, and went no lower than 16. Last home game for a while, so it was fun.

I won't be on much tomorrow. Enjoy the poonage.

Winstar > PS

Sorry everyone for the lack of posting during my Winstar craze this week. I've made a little over $600 dollars this week so all is good. I guess it must be a sin for Pete not to post if I don't play so I'm sorry for that. But today there will be tournament action. I'm starting off with:

I shoved because this idiot was raising with hands like a6 under the gun so I figured I was a coinflip at WORST. Yet again I get 2Outered- Can't win on this "legit" site.

Another weak tournament day. I might go 1-6 but im looking at a potential bubble in the $2 buck.

Winstar tomorrow so don't expect to see much of me playing.

Minor tourney rut.

2008-08-19T16:08:00.002-04:00

I bubbled the 4 buck 5 card last night, didn't do jack in the 2 buck, and woke up this morning for some tourneys. I barely cashed the 1 buck PLHE, didn't cash but didn't care about the 10c poon-off, didn't make it through the hour in the 1 buck, got pooned out of the 2 buck turbo with KA vs QA, and just got ousted of the 1 buck 5 card with this poonography:

What else is new.

After a hot tourney run where I cashed 5 in a row and 7 of 8, I'm 1 for my last 7. I'm owning these new 2-7 single draw tables though. I've sat about 3 times and walked away with a combined 15 bucks. Not bad. Can't wait until they finish developing that so I can own the sit-n-go's too.

IDs of the Week.

2008-08-18T00:21:00.003-04:00

This week, I saw a bunch of names that were solid enough to jot down. Nevertheless, here are your top 5 IDs of the week.

5. imhighallday - If that's the case, you fit right in with all the other morons on PokerStars.

4. HighOffYour$ - Jeez, no wonder why America is so screwed up. Everyone seems to be high. (PS, I ousted this guy from the 2 buck, so he wasn't getting lit on my $)

3. crabz - If you see this guy at a cash table, wear protection. Chances are he's sitting alone. Nobody likes crabz.

2. 2OutsNoProb - Yeah, this seems to be the general attitude on PokerStars.

And your top ID of the week.

1. JORGE - Come on, nothing screams Mexican more than a Mexican name in uppercase letters. Hip Hip, JORGE!

Honorable mention goes to:

BitingExWife - I'm sure most people want to bite their current wives too.
-and-
I NEED AAAA - Don't we all. Since nothing else wins on PS.

Enjoy.

Weekend Wrap-up

2008-08-18T00:17:00.002-04:00

I made another deep run in the 2 buck at 11PM last night for the 3rd straight night, so I was too tired to post. I finished 16th. Two flopped flushes with 10A suited set up the deep run, but in the end I just blinded out and my QK lost to A9. Played real solid.

Today, I did the Sunday 200K for the second time, and wound up cashing it. I started out good, but after misplaying one hand I was blinding away and just managed to cash. At least I profited 10 bucks.

After getting pooned out of the 2.50+.25 at 5 pm, I made another deep run in the 6PM 1 buck, placing 31st. My last tourney of the night was the 5 buck, and I barely cashed that as well. I wound up placing 8th in my 4 king poker league game, so I went 4 for 5 today, but nothing special. I played relatively well, just got garbage cards all day.

IDs of the week are next, and there are some quality ones, believe me.

The Sunday Morons

2008-08-17T13:12:00.007-04:00

Another Sunday. Another bunch of morons. I swear these idiots travel in packs, I love seeing idiots who know each other commenting on the game or say NH/Good play after a solid suckout. Anyway, I'm starting today out with the....

$5-15k Guarantee Missed cash by 200 people. My AJ loses to the dominate A10.
$4/180- Finished 44th, My 55 vs 66-I don't hit 2Outers.
$1 FL 5card- Cashed got 29th out of 390 people for a whopping $2.34.
$11 (200k Guaranteed)- AK vs 10s-Coinflipped out before the cash.
$2.5 NLH- My flopped two pair gets rivered by a gutshot straight.
$1 NLH- 2Outered Again
$4/180- 43rd, AQ vs KK
$2 (4max) NLH- Got my 45th Final Table finishing 5th for $36.18
$5 NLH- Ousted 16 from the cash, I always seem to bubble that tournament
$2 NLH- Sad, less then 50 from the cash my 10s get turned by kq. I think I should of made the ID IDontWinFlips. Since my downward toward br brokeness, I'm about 8-188 in coinflips.

A not so solid day for Sunday, but even I could of seen it coming. Playing poker on PS on a Sunday and trying to win...is like the chances of Steven Hawking trying to win the 200 Meter race vs Michael Phelps..Just not very likely.

Keep Reading for Pete's Ids of the week and my finish in the $2 NLH

Today's POTD humps the bet button.

2008-08-16T02:35:00.002-04:00

This is true. He was caught having statutory intercourse with the min raise. Today's poon was seated to my right in the 4 buck fixed 5 card. Normally, I don't really give much thought to the standard poon that raises with crap and makes stupid calls. It's those morons that talk back to you that catch my attention.

Enter bbrunick. He was humping the raise button right from the first hand. He'd raise flush draws, re-raise with two pair, and limp-reraise sets. He'd bet out regardless of his hand and what everyone else did. Below is just a minor example of the donkism and donation this poon bestowed upon me early on. He didn't last long.

Obviously, going for the 2 card boat after a raise is a good strategic move. And, who said you had to hit it to bet it? Lucky for me, I knew he was a poon, so this was an easy insta-call.

Read the verbal game that ensued:

bbrunick: just not hittin like i was in the first part of the game
_the_panic_: you expect to hit a two card flush everytime?

Obvious moron. After a bit more jabbing, he threw this one out there.

bbrunick said, "look at my chipstack bro"

He had about 200 chips on me at the time. I found his stats more impressive than his stack:

He has 172 dollars in career earnings in 327 tourneys. Is that even doable? He sports a rock solid cash rate of 5.2 PERCENT, with only 17 cashes and 3 final tables. Why waste your time if you suck that bad?

Maybe a raise-button-vasectomy will improve his stats.

So Close To Win #8

2008-08-16T01:57:00.002-04:00

Tournaments tonight

$15 NLH- coinflipped by a two headed coin
$3 shootout- 4th at my table. AK lost to 87 suited
$2 NLH- 88 vs aq-my 8s got rocked
$4/180- Got my 45th FT and finished 4th

It was a long haul in the 4/180. I was never big stacked the entire tournament. I find myself struggling toward the middle-end of the pack but kept grinding it out. The big moment for me was when my AA vs KQ held with 11 left. Putting me easily at the final table. I didn't get shalomed this time. I was short stack and had A9 otb, the table chipleader and loose raiser raised half my stack. He doubled me up earlier with KJ vs his Q9. So I had to go for it and ran into AJ. This cash was a confidence booster.

I went 2-7 in tournaments today. Not much playing tomorrow until tomorrow night. I'm railing Pete's $2 NLH tournament as we speak. He is making his 2nd big run in back to back $2 tournaments.

G'night poons

Setting it up.

2008-08-15T23:45:00.003-04:00

I cashed the 3 buck triple shootout for the first time tonight. Dominated my first table, but didn't get anything going in round two. Obviously, my ousting came via poonage. 10J offsuit limps utg. I shove 700 with 10K suited from the big blind, figuring I could steal the pot. This genius made the call and naturally the turn was a J.

I'm on life support in the 11PM two buck that I got 40th in last night. Don't expect much there.

Also, I'm back on track in the 5 card category. As of now, I've made the cash and am 6th of 19 left. Here's the hand that set up a potential final table run:

Time for final table #11. I hate the number 11. Updates to come.

Update: Typical. I bubbled the top 12, which was my goal. Just blinded away with garbage hands. Still in this two buck for some reason. The blinds are 75/150 and I have 1k left. Just delaying the inevitable.

Winstar-Not Much Playing Yesterday

2008-08-15T12:34:00.004-04:00

As from the title, you should be able to tell where I was all day yesterday. I made $307 dollars at the tables, sat with $200 and never went below what I started with. The segment and race results will be posted on tuesday. Today I will be doing a few afternoon tournaments. Tonight I have plans so I wont be playing until later. Saturday I will be busy all day. So don't expect much out of me until Sunday.

$3 NLH- made wrong read/partially. I flopped low pair and short stack, a dude bet out a bet just a little over the original raise pre-flop with a board of 10 7 3. I re-raised all in thinking he didnt want to be committed with two highcards. He snap calls with 8s and I dont get lucky
$4/180-Lost coinflip AK vs 99
$5/15k guarantee-made bad play, but i cashed for $11 dollars

Catching up...

2008-08-15T02:36:00.003-04:00

Been too pissed off to post. I blew away 90 bucks in the last 3 days at the stud tables. I was planning on shooting for silver star status this month, but not if I'm going to have to forfeit my BR to do so. I was missing so many low and flush draws, getting rivered and getting pooned.

Today I kind of took a break. I played 2 6 handed sng's earlier and had no luck. I did the 11PM 2 buck holdem, and I'm still in. Let me tell you, this has been one entertaining tournament. From arguments to suckouts, to laughing at idiots. I'll post my finish later, but this post is one of the main reasons why me and Chase need a blog to vent.

Why do aces never hold? Twice today, I lost with pocket aces to a complete moron who flops two pair. Luckily, I tripled up the next hand with 10A after runnering the nut flush. I took another pot and I'm more or less back where I started. Still, I'm in need of some chips before the blinds kill me. I'll update in a bit.

UPDATE: I got pooned out in 40th. Per Pokerstars policy, my top top got rivered by a straight draw, who also had top pair. I shoved the flop first to act, had about 11k left. I had A8 and the flop was 5 7 8. 86 made the call, and naturally the river 9 ousted me. What can I do. PS doesn't let me win.

No real poon of the day candidates on my end... I'll have something up tomorrow I'm sure. Going to play some morning tourneys, so those idiot Europeans will give me material.

Did I ever tell you "Bubble" Is my middle name??

2008-08-14T01:15:00.002-04:00

Yes. When it comes to the $4 FL 5-card, the bubble is where i've been getting outsted..back to back days. Maybe it has something to do with me chewing on some Bubbalicious Bubble Gum, watching the movie Bubble Boy, while blowing bubbles.

$4 FL 5-card placed 20th of 156 (needed 18th)
$2 6-max- I finished 77th of 824 cashing for $4.12

Not much goin on for today. Check back tomorrow for some more PS action.

No Afternoon PS Action

2008-08-13T21:32:00.002-04:00

I was up at Winstar today, so not getting any tournament action until tonight. Winstar was a success. I went from up $300 dollars, to up $3 dollars (Lost a monster pot, we both flopped a set.) To walking away up $620 dollars. Not to forget the epic race I had this morning (results posted tomorrow)

I'm starting off tonight with the $2-6max and the $4 FL 5-card

Poon of the day, what more can I say?

2008-08-13T01:20:00.002-04:00

This guy was just your typical pokerstars idiot. His name was RiverRatMak, and his game was whack. I'm too lazy to post all of this idiot's hands (there were 4 in all that stood out), so I'll pick the poonest of the poon.

I didn't even look at my river card, knowing he was folding or I was losing. This genius calls with a King low and looks good for it. There's just no words to describe idiots like Mak.

I had the pleasure of receiving his gracious donations and knocking him out of the tournament. I was at 400 until his warm act of charity. I thank you, Poon of the Day. Too bad your gift didn't help me cash.

As always, the POTD gets his stats checked. Sure enough, this guy had weak stats. His 10% cash rate playing mostly penny tournaments really looked solid. Of his 21 cashes, only 5 were with buyins higher than 50c. And yet he still only cashes 10% of the time. Advice: QUIT.

Until tomorrow...

A losing day. Really.

2008-08-13T01:18:00.002-04:00

I haven't had a losing day in quite a while. I started out good this morning, finally cashing one of those idiot 4 max tourneys. I got nothing going in the 3 buck holdem, bluffed my stack away in the 5 buck, and got screwed in the 1 buck fixed. Tonight I just did the 1 buck razz, which I also got screwed big time in. It was here where I found the clear-cut poon of the day. A 1 for 5 tourney day, but I also lost 15 bucks at the cash tables. Not good.

POTD coming up...

Chase's Patio!

2008-08-13T00:16:00.007-04:00

How's it goin everyone. Welcome to another segment of Chase's Patio, where I speak my mind and think of random thoughts as I get away from the fish tank of the PS world.

Let's get away from talking poker for a minute and focus on a much more serious issue that has just come up, a mile race among fierce competitors. No, This is not the olympics people, this is a rivalry among the ages. Tomorrow at 9:30 AM ET, My 13 year old sister, My girlfriend, and the champ (myself, incase you people are slow) Will be racing for pride. The race is a little over a mile long, and anything but a victory is a failure.

THE CONS

My sister is 13 years old and runs a mile in about 7 minutes.

I'm a smoker

I never did do good in long distance, my best race was the 200 yd dash.

My GF will do everything in her power to make me lose.

THE PROS

I have the longer legs

I have a solid plan (heh)

I'm not a poon.

Yea, so the cons outweight the pros, but I have a plan. I need to get out off to a solid start in the race by taking the lead early. I'm not worried so much about my girlfriend only my sister. I need to take the solid lead early so by the midway mark I can set a long stride and let my long legs do some resting. When it comes down to the final 400 yards, which is a straight-away, my sister (i've seen her do it) is in full out sprint mode. I need to be even with her when it gets to this point. Most likely my lungs will be on fire and I will be out of gas, but I will be doing whatever it takes, pushing, shoving, elbowing, or maybe just knock her down so I can bring home the gold (Yes, my sister made two medals, one gold, one that has Poon written on it for last.) This is going to be a race for the ages and im bringing it home for AMERICA.

The results of this race will be posted on Thursday on the next "Chase's Patio" segment

Wish me luck poons.

New Series: You know what really "PS's" me off?

2008-08-12T22:21:00.004-04:00

Everyday, I find myself saying something about the people on pokerstars or the site itself and how it pisses me off. Well, I figured I'd put my anger to good use. I have no set date for this segment, I'll just post whenever something annoys me. So, without further ado, here's the debut of "You know what really PS's me off?"

Idiots that get on the waiting list for a table when theres a bunch of other open ones out there really 'PS' me off.

I mean, seriously. Why are there 6 people on the line for one stud h/l table when they could just as easily fill a brand new table? Doesn't that make a lot more sense, you poons? Why wait 15 minutes for a seat to open when you can just start a new one in half the time? The lower you are on the waiting list, the dumber you are.

Right now I'm looking at the lobby and there are 6 full $1/2 stud tables. These 6 tables have a combined 17 players waiting. SEVENTEEN PLAYERS. That's enough to fill two whole tables, plus one. AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT REALIZES THIS?

I can understand a big waiting list for a table with a pro at it. Everyone wants their crack at a well-known name. But at regular tables? That really PS's me off.

So sick, it had to be posted here.

2008-08-12T22:16:00.001-04:00

This is Phil Hellmuth owning Mike Matusow. In case you didn't know, on this episode of high stakes poker, the players had a prop bet that if anyone won a hand with 2-7 offsuit, they pay 500 bucks to the winner. Enjoy it.

Check back tonight for My patio and other late night tournament results.

Another day, another final table.

2008-08-12T01:39:00.002-04:00

I got home at about 930 tonight, just in time for the 4 buck 5 card. Let me tell you, I wish I would have gotten home a minute later. I got screwed so bad I didn't even make the first break. Out of 168 poons, I finished an embarrassing 151st. I did the 2 buck holdem at 11 and didn't fare much better there either. I misplayed two hands that cost me the tournament.

Finally, in a game I've only played twice before and have no cashes in, I played the 2 buck 2-7 triple draw. I was down early and spent much of the first hour trying to get even. I did and then some. By the time I realized I had a decent stack, it was hand for hand. I was in the middle of the pack for a while. One big hand probably cost me a few more bucks. Since I'm new to the game, I slowplayed 7,6,5,3,2 on the first draw, just smooth calling the table idiot's bet. Then after the second draw, I raised him right back. This was a mistake, I learned. He had a 8,7,5,3,2 and was standing pat and betting. Since I raised, he decided to drop his 8 and go for the nuts. Obviously, he hits it and costs me a few grand. If I didn't raise him back, I knock him out and take down a pot that sets up a top 3 finish. Ah well, inexperience, I guess.

I managed to finish 6th and record my 10th career final table. I had no expectations going in really, but I'll take it. I'm down a couple of bucks for the day, but at least I have a cash in another game on my resume.

I'm going to be waking up early for some tournaments so this blog will be running all day. Later poons.

I have no idea what leh1ens mucked, but he could not beat a pair of 5s. The chat is what made this priceless.

leH1ens: hahaha who calls with 10/5???
leH1ens: donky

If I had my chat privileges, I would be all up in this conversation, but instead I will speak my mind on the blog. leh1ens keeps calling "boss1811" a "donky" Yet Boss is the one doing all the betting on the flop,turn, and river. leh1ens calls $160 on the river with an apparent nothing and has the nerve to call boss a donkey after mucking Ace high, I assume. Yea, I agree, Boss1811 made a donk-preflop call. But leh1ens inability to spell a 2nd grade word and not fold his AK. Makes him our POTD, Congrats.

The "Chase's Patio" portion of the blog will be posted tomorrow night, I wonder what will cross my mind...

Snap The Streak

2008-08-11T18:12:00.002-04:00

Since the ChatBan I've been 0-12 in tournaments. Pretty pathetic. Doing the $1 buck tournament as we speak. I will be playing all night, trying to boost the br back to respect. It occured to me yesterday, I have been banned previously from chatting do to my loud mouth and everytime I get banned, My br takes a huge tumble downhill. Hopefully I can turn things around.

Top 5 IDs of the Week

2008-08-11T00:44:00.003-04:00

Here are the best names of the week. Enjoy.

5. HemorrhoidSx - Ouch, that must hurt.

4. Noob_Forever - This one makes the list because his image matched the name perfectly -- IntelliPoker

3. PornoFreak - Hey, at least he ain't ashamed of it.

2. Brett Favre - Seriously, the guy's ID was "Brett Favre." And after all the soap opera bs with the new Jets QB, it was pretty ironic.

And the best ID of the week:

#1: ChAtBan - The same day Chase nets himself a 6 month chat ban, we see this simple ID at the tables. Bonus points for the grim reaper image. Really puts it into perspective.

This isn't an official thing, but I couldn't resist; lamest ID of the week goes to "ManInTheHat." Doesn't get weaker than that.

Night poons.

Solid day.

2008-08-11T00:41:00.003-04:00

Added another final table to my resume today. My day started out like garbage. I lost to 2 two outers and a runner straight in my first 4 games. I had a couple of league games, and did the 2 buck 4 max at 815 as well as the 1 buck stud h/l at 845. Chase talked me into the 4 buck 5 card, and I placed 5th for a $39.60 payout. I was going good in stud but got pooned as always.

I've been having some good luck at the $.50/1 stud h/l tables. Made about 25 bucks in the last two days at them.

Not much poonage today. I'll have the ID's of the week up in a bit.

"Coincedently" Losing Everything

2008-08-10T23:44:00.002-04:00

Yea. I'm used to getting sucked out. I'm used to seeing donks. But since my chat-ban I'm 0-12 in tournaments. No matter if im ahead, I lose. If i'm behind, I lose. It was just amusing, in the $1 horse tournament, I was all in during the stud h/l part, short stacked with 1800. I managed going into the river with two pair and a low draw...and what happens? The dude to my right who has nothing but a low draw/gutshot, rivers the wheel. Conspiracy? I'm seriously starting to think something fishy is going on because this bullsh*t is amusing me to say the least. No matter what happens, how I play the hand, I lose.

Not playing tomorrow until 4ish. Hopefully jokerstars won't notice I'm on.

Poon of the day.

2008-08-10T00:20:00.001-04:00

I'm too pissed off to write anything about this idiot, but he's the clear cut poon of the day. Read his hands and laugh. Oh, and by the way, he's 1 for 11 in tournaments, and his only cash was a satellite. What a poon.

Conspiracy?? (ChatBan Info)

2008-08-09T23:09:00.003-04:00

To Catch you up from last night. Last night I did a $6-45 person sng last night to kill time. I got in a heated one-sided arguement with a guy with the name of Shalom (not real id but you should get the argument from the name.) The argument lasted all tournament and he turned me into pokerstars chat. I received an e-mail with a list of things I said violating the chat policy, which i've done quite often, and the end result is I can't chat til 2009. But my problem here is, since the ban, i've been getting torahed, yes i've not learned my lesson fromt the ban, every way possible in the tournaments.

$2-4max- lost HU, 99 vs J10-riv J
$2 tournament- started off strong, then my KK loses to AJ
$5 tournament- bubbled by 30 people, short stacked, 10s ran into KK
$4 fixed 5-card- I raise short stacked and the table idiot reraises with a pair and pulls a higher two pair.

$2 tournament-I shoved short stack with low pair.

Board: 4 7 A

My 45 suited vs k7

turn: 5

riv-A

Conspiracy?

Now my question, coincedence or conspiracy? I just have the feeling I might end up broke before my chat ban is over.

I'm out of town and playing and Pete is in a bad mood so don't expect much action in the tournaments until tomorrow night.

Another Final Table--Short of 8th Win

2008-08-08T14:41:00.002-04:00

A decent tournament afternoon. I went 2-5 in tournaments, getting my 44th final table. I finished 3rd out of 306 in the PL Hold'em, paying me $32.90. I also cashed the $3 tournament, nothing that impressive. My AQ lost to 10 2 suited..standard. Finished 199th out of 1450 people, it paid $5.32.

Just going to be playing cash tables and sngs with Pete. We both have plans for tonight; however, I will be back on late tonight to play some more tournaments.

Til tonight..later poons.

Good Morning Poker World and Did You Miss my absence?

2008-08-08T09:49:00.002-04:00

Yea, If you read our blog yesterday, I didn't have a single post. I got about 3 hours of sleep the night before and spent almost all of my day playing at the $1/$2 cash tables at Winstar. It was a success, I walked away up $325 dollars so I was pleased.

Not sure how much tournaments I will be playing, since I have plans this evening.

But I'm starting out with the $2-4max (which I'm sure i'll get pooned out of like I typically have been) and the $1 PL Hold'em

Evening roundup.

2008-08-08T01:38:00.002-04:00

No poon of the day award today. Chase hit up the casino and won about 350 bucks. I got off to a horrible start, but ended it the right way.

I first did the 1 buck at 6 and did absolutely nothing. I was at a .50/1 fixed 5 card table at the same time and left down 6 dollars. I was so pissed and tired I took a nap and woke up just in time to register the 1 buck stud h/l. More on that later.

I got nothing going in the 4 buck fixed at 930 and had an embarrassing 162nd finish out of 192.

Me and Chase both did the 3 buck triple shootout. I got 3 handed with all stacks about equal. I flopped a guthsot straight flush draw and the guy bet out. I shoved, putting him on air and having a big drawing hand. Naturally, he just has top pair and I don't improve.

I was, however, dominating the stud h/l. I took the chip lead with about 75 people left. 40 cashed, and I was still top 2 all the way until there were about 24 left. I regained the lead with 16 left and rode that momentum to my 8th career final table. Idiots didn't know how to check down when someone was all in, so I wound up losing quite a bit in those scenarios. In one instance, I had trip 7s and kept checking, but the moron to my left kept betting into me. Obviously, he rivers trip 8s and the all in player stayed alive. I got all in with JJ66, and got called by a pair of K. As always, he pairs his cards on the river, and I get ousted in 5th. It paid $18.54, which negated all the losing I did earlier in the night. Still waiting for that first win.

Not sure of our tourney schedule for tomorrow. Check back.

Solid Tournament Day--When It Comes to Cashing

2008-08-07T02:52:00.005-04:00

4-10 is a pretty solid day. Nothing to big though. I'm still alive in the $2 11 pm et. and we are down to 39 people so I will keep you updated.

44th/1640 for a cash of $12.31 in the $3 tournament.
unknown/alot for some sort of change cash in the $.25 poon-off (did that for tlbs)
42nd/384 in the $1 HORSE for a whopping $1.65.

In Progress 25th/1485 for a cash of $10.40 in the $2 tournament.

Tomorrow will be an all-day Winstar affair. Battling off poons and food service all afternoon long.

Night Poons.

POTD: Clicking outside the box.

2008-08-07T02:16:00.003-04:00

Our poon of the day for August 7th misclicked his way into super poon-dom.

His name was Battaglia123 and this donk benefited me. Battaglia had just under 4000 chips in today's 3 buck tourney when I got dealt JA offsuit. I called a 3x raise in late position after 3 limps and flopped top pair (A 2 4, rainbow). Battaglia bets out 150 and I just smooth call. The turn is a J, and the moron bets out 500. I have 1600 chips left so I went all in. He insta calls, and I get worried that he might have the wheel. What does he show? 2 King offsuit. The poon called 100 from the big blind with 2K offsuit, and then bet his bottom pair aggressively. Then, he threw this excuse out there:

_the_panic_ said, "appreciate the charity"
Battaglia123 said, "that was the wrong button :("

Yeah, so a few hands later, I beat him on this hand too. Notice how he calls the river with K high.

Did you click the wrong button there too, you poon? You misclicked twice in one hand? Let me tell you something; your biggest misclick was hitting the "register" button before the tourney even started. Despite all the intellipoker idiots this morning, this guy takes the cake.

Here's the poon's (lack of) stats round-up:

In 15 career tournaments, Battaglia has a respectable cash rate of 0.00% with $0.00 in career earnings. Keep trying pal. One day, you'll misclick your way to a cash...

Chase is hitting up the casino tomorrow and I'm going to be out pretty much all day. Might do some late night tourneying, but don't expect much here tomorrow. Later poons.

Rant: F.P.S.

2008-08-06T17:05:00.002-04:00

I'm cruising in the 3 buck, at the same table as chase. I limp in with 9 10 suited in mid position, there's about 5-6 people going to the flop. I get a club draw. Nobody bets. The turn is a club. The moron who's first to act overbets the pot to 6600, which had me covered. I call, and he flips over Q6 clubs. The friggin moron limped utg w/ q6 suited. Strike 1.

I'm dominating in the 2 buck PLO8. I have a stack of about 20k. I lost 9k on back to back hands, but I picked up 5678 with two hearts. The table idiot raised pot as always, and I called. The flop was 3 4 9 with two hearts. He insta-puts me all in and I call, knowing I can hit any heart, 2, 5, 6, 7, or 8 to make my hand. Thats 22 outs I had with two cards to go. The moron flops over a pair of aces, with no draws. The turn is a 10 of clubs and the river is the K. 82% friggin chance to win and I lose to an idiot who shouldn't have even been in the hand. Strike 2.

Finally, in the 1 buck fixed 5 card, which I seem to make a run in on a daily basis, I have about 27K and get a gutshot straight flush draw utg. I just limped, and 3 people drew. I pulled a 7 high straight, and the first player bet out (stakes were 2000/4000) I raised it to 8k, and the dude to my left who also dropped 1 reraised. Of course, I knew I was beat but I couldnt fold, and he of course drew a boat. Then I get all in the next hand with AA in the big blind. the button raised me, so I just called. Naturally, he pulls a set of Jacks when I pull two pair, and just like that I get ousted. Strike friggin' 3.

The intellipoons are swarming today, and the American idiots are also out in full force. Be careful, one might bite you in the backside too.

Solid $3 buck finish

2008-08-06T16:20:00.002-04:00

Pete and I both placed in the $3 buck tournament at noon et.

Pete: 162nd out of 1640 and in the money
Me: finished 44th out of 1640 people and cashed for $12.31

Not a bad start to the day. However, if you read Pete's post below. Pokerstars is getting invaded by the Intellipoker poons. I have still yet to see one decent player from that site.

Intell-invasion.

2008-08-06T12:12:00.002-04:00

These intellipoker idiots are friggin everywhere! I have 4 at my 3 buck table. Chase has 2. What's funny about this army of a-holes is that NOT ONE is a solid poker player. You think one of the bigger poker communities would teach you something about the game. Bunch of poons. Intellipoons.

Me and Chase are in the 3 buck at 12, and we're going to be doing the 5 buck, 15K guaranteed at 1. I might be doing either the 2 buck PLO8 or the 2 buck turbo. Prepared to get pooned.

Chase's Patio #1--The Debut

2008-08-06T01:11:00.009-04:00

Welcome everyone. To my Patio. It's the place I love to break inbetween tournaments, kick back and just think of all the poons I would love to strangle after their smartass comments after even worse play.

After a long run in the $4 fixed limit 5-card. I went outside, to my chair ^ seen above. I was so pissed off, how bad our POTD could play and what is worse, win. I'm sittin back on the patio, smokin a stogey, and I go into deep thought about poons. I was seriously doing a play-by-play scenario in my head. If I met one of the asshole/idiots that donked me out online, then had the nerve to call me a donk after shoving all-in on a gutshot, I would seriously consider which way would be the best way to torture a moron. It would be different for every race. Black guys, I would strangle them by shoving KFC Chicken Wings down their throat. Asian guys, I would turn on the song "I can see clearly now the rain is gone." Mexican guys, I would call immigration. Finally, White guys, I would just beat their asses in.

Some might say I have alot of anger built up. Its not that at all, I'm a nice guy, very laid back and easy to get along with, I just hate assholes and horrible poker players who think they are good.

My patio segments will be every tuesday and thursday night.

G'night poons

Another losing day, and it ain't over yet.

2008-08-06T00:50:00.002-04:00

I didn't play many tournaments today. I did the 1 buck fixed at 230PM and got 15th. I was primed for a deep run but my 99QQ got outdrawn by a dude who called my raise with AA. I moved all in for 6900 with 444, and another guy hit his flush. Nothing I could do.

I didn't have much time to play at night, so I did a 6 buck heads up turbo and got matched vs a complete donkey. Every hand was raised, and I got sick of it. I finally just moved all in with 4s after he reraised me, and of course he has 5s. I battled back from 140 chips to 1100, but I went for one more kill shot with A4 and he had 7s and held. Damn idiot had the balls to call me a donk.

Then I did one of those 5 buck heads up 16 players and got 4th. I was feeling confident and got KK a few hands in. My opponent was a calling station so I popped it 3x the bb to 240. He shoves his 6k+ stack and I called, of course. He had QA offsuit like a donk and naturally hits the three outer on the flop. What can I do.

I'm probably going to do some hold'em tables or 5 card sit n go's the rest of the night. I'm also considering the 3 buck turbo tourney, 5 buck turbo, and 5 buck razz tourney. Well see what I do.

Meet LACR. First off, what in the hell does that stand for?

Only one thing I can think of

Losing
Asshole
Cripples
Really Good Players

I'll start off this segment with this players "fantastic" stats. LACR has put up an impressive 19-544 (cashes/tournaments ratio) for an even more impressive 3.5% cash rate. I'm impressed by this, LACR has managed to beat on average less then 2/3 of the field; 68/100 on average. Those other 32 need to be discovered for this segment, but all in all, his stats don't surprise me.

I got the privilege to meet this poon deep in the $4 fixed limit 5-card tournament. I came to his table leading the pack with 20 left. From the minute I sat down this poon was raising LITERALLY every single hand. At the beginning I was giving him respect. But after awhile, he was raising, dropping 3 cards, and being called down with 4s/5s etc. A big hand cost me when I was dealt an open-ended Royal Flush Draw, I had KQJ10 of spades. Donk raises utg with AA, I called it (blinds 2k/4k--had about24k in chips) A shorter stack, re-raised, followed by a re-raise to the max by poon-LACR. I called both, pricing me in for 2/3 my stack with an awesome drawing hand and to my amazement, LACR drops 3--After raising the max. That moron cost me my chip stack, as I missed my draw. LACR donated to a set of 9s.

My losing hand to the moron was shown below on my lower post. I limped utg with Jacks, waiting for that idiot to raise with any hand he had..which he did. He raised, I re-raised and he just called. I was left with 4k. To my amazement, he dropped 4, indicating he doesnt have a pair and calls 8k. Shockingly, he bet out, I had to call and I didnt improve. He picked up a pair of kings. Thanks moron. I finished that tournament in 7th. LACR was in 3rd after that hand, He got out in 6th, no big surprise.

We here at The 2 Outer proudly give our Award to LACR, like the acronym says, he is just another poon busting out good players.

Another Rough Day/Ending but the BR Goes Up

2008-08-06T00:33:00.003-04:00

Man. Not playing up to my 22% cash rate in tournaments. I went 1-9 with a final table (7th)

Three different times today a moron shoved when the blinds were low/medium
i.e: 15/30 and 100/200

Both $1 buck tournaments a different moron shoves all-in with about 4k. Each time I was around 2k and picked up JJ and QQ. Now in a $1 tournament, I dont give much respect, those tournaments are normally for morons who don't have much money and play like they could careless. I do those mainly for tlb points (Tournament Leaderboard Points)

Both times, I made the call. Both times, I ran into KK...and I'm not lucky enough to hit a 2-outer.

The final time game in my last registered tournament. I was about 200 from the cash in the $2 buck tournament at 11 pm et. Had QQ in the sb. One limper mid position and the button shoves 5k. The blinds were 100/200. Now with only 16 bb left and needing a double. It was an easy decision. I didnt think without a preflop raise he would shove and waste a monster..I was wrong

My QQ ran into AA. Three times tonight I picked up a monster against a donk. Where is my 2-outer?

Sadly, back-to-back nights I finished 257th in the $5 buck tournament at 9 pm et. I was 14 away from the cash but really low in chips (2000ish) I picked up KK otb and knew my fate. There was two limps before me, so I shoved. The blinds folded as did the first limper. Another solid call for almost half his chips calls with AJ off suit. The flop was solid, with two spades, but like my typical luck, he went runner-runner for the flush..ousting me yet again 14 from the cash.

My final table tournament came in the $4 fixed limit 5-card draw (where you will meet our POTD) Where I finished 7th of 162, paying me $14.58, and notching my 43rd final table. My losing hand is below

Now you wonder why I played so loosely there, as you can see this guy was a moron, and I will explain more in our POTD Award segment..I wonder who it is going to be?

Showin up..Phil Hellmuth Style

2008-08-05T13:44:00.002-04:00

If anyone who reads this know who Phil Hellmuth is, will understand what im saying. For the record, I'm a big Hellmuth fan, he is one the best "donk slayers" in the game. I had a prior engagement at 11:40 am this morning but did'nt want to miss the $5-15k guaranteed. So I registered and showed up 40 minutes late before I saw my first hand, Hellmuth style. Luckily for me, If I didnt miss that first 40 minutes..I would be out. My AA would of been rocked by AK with trips off the flop. I only lost 250 chips and we start with 3k. No harm done.

By the end of the day my segment "Chase's Patio" will make its debut.

IntelliPOON of the day.

2008-08-05T01:48:00.002-04:00

Why are all intellipoker people idiots? This guy was perhaps one of the dumbest.

2 buck 4 max at 815. Right off the bat, this idiot named "cornz" was raising like a tool every hand. If you raised, he reraised it preflop, regardless of what he had. I got sick of his donkeyism and reraised all in with JA suited. He insta-calls virtually his whole stack with 8Q off-suit. He flops an 8 and I flip a load. I hit the turn A and was relieved a bit, but of course, the moron gets rewarded and rivers trip 8s.

Then the moron pulls out the old "best hand won" bs. What shocked me even more? The poon finished 7th place in that tourney. Why does ps allow idiots like "cornz" to win money? It's a joke.

Moral of the story; Intellipoker sucks, and "cornz" likes it in the corn hole.

Night poons.

Coin-flipped postflop

2008-08-04T23:22:00.003-04:00

Damnit Damnit Damnit...

As you already know about the $5-15k guaranteed finish.

Today was a 2-5 in tournaments day. I placed 32nd out of 551 people in the $2 PL Omaha h/l--cashing for a whopping $4.65. But hey, I doubled the tournament buy-in, so it works. I fell short in the $2.5 tournament and the $1 fixed 5-card tournament, that I got 2nd in yesterday.

Big disappointment. I had a little under 10k in the $5 buck tournament tonight. I was cruising, above average stack and in the top 100. I was dealt 9 10 suited in the big blind and faced a raise of a total of 1200. (blinds 150/300) I love suited connectors, especially with a big stack so I made the call, along with 3 other people. The pot preflop was around 6k.

flop: 10h 6s 3s

I loved that flop, top pair and a flush draw...however, my smile stopped when the sb shoved 11k, which had me covered. I play to win, not to cash, and I was only 12 away from the cash at this point. Top pair and a flush draw is a hard hand to lay down, mathematically, if he has an overpair, I'm a coinflip. I could of even been up against two highcards, or a mid pocketpair trying to buy it. I made the call.

My 9 10 of spades vs QQ

Turn: Kd

River:Jc

Completely missed. After the flop I was a coinflip, 46%-54% percent. I needed any 9, 10, or spade to shoot me into the top 15. However, I missed, ousting me--after a strong showing, I finish with nothing.

My segment "Chase's Patio" will debut tomorrow, do to technical difficulties.

Pete and I will finish the night with some sit and gos..nothing that exciting

Stay tuned to read on who gets the POTD Award, it was a classic.

The best hand "won"

2008-08-04T21:36:00.002-04:00

The best hand won, so he says. I'll have full details of this jackass in our P.O.T.D. piece later tonight, because nobody's topping him. I decided to do the 2 buck turbo 4 max 5x shootout. My first table, I had an idiot that reraised everything, raised with garbage and claimed the best hand won after every hand. Well this moron raises 5x to my sb, and I shoved on him with JA. Lets just say he got lucky and I got pooned. More later.

Had a short run in the 5 buck too. After getting 27th yesterday, I followed it with an amazing 1033rd place finish. AK ran into AA, who raised 10x the bb preflop. After a short stack shoved, I pushed the envelope and the moron waited about 15 seconds to call. Classless turd.

Going to do some sit-n-gos the rest of the night.

$5-15k Guaranteed (updates at bottom)

2008-08-04T15:10:00.004-04:00

Pete and I both managed to play good poker, not get unlucky, and both found are way to the second hour break with good chip stacks.

Pete: $11,402 in chips and is in 476th of 985 people left.
Chase: $28,620 in chips and I am in 56th of 985 people left.

Stay tuned as we both try to make a deep run and have a solid pay day.

Update:

Heading into break #3, Pete's out in 559th. He was low stacked but managed to cash. His KQ ran into KA. Chase is in good shape, with over 45k in chips. He's on the leaderboard in 69th place. He just knocked out a dude who had KA with his pocket aces. Another update next hour.

Update:

Morons cost me again. I took a few hits early in the 3rd hour, found myself with 27k, and had KK on the button. Under the gun, min raised it to 2400. A moron in midposition shoved 14k. I made the call, under the gun folds.

KK vs A9

flop: x J x

turn:A

Riv:9

Go figure. Nothing I can do against idiots like that. My ousting came with pockets 6s. I was short stacked with 13k, blinds were 1000/2000 I shoved in late position and ran into pocket aces. I got 252nd out of 4,293 people. The payout was $21.47

IDs of the week.

2008-08-04T01:42:00.001-04:00

Playing on ps, you're bound to come across some great screen names and IDs. Since we just came up with this idea the other day, this week's list is limited. Here are a couple of quality IDs I wish I came up with myself:

JezusKrist - Not the greatest, but it makes J.C sound like a nazi.

SixtyCent - Since 50 cent's music sucks, we thought we'd represent SixtyCent here. Word.

And the week's best ID:

Mariojuana - The answer to the classic joke "what do you get when you cross a bong with a beaner?"

Til tomorrow...

Coinflipped with a two-headed coin.

2008-08-04T01:34:00.003-04:00

...And I lost both times. First off, this was the best tourney day I've ever had. I finished the day up 70 bucks total, with three cashes of more than 24 bucks. As you know, I thirded the 1 buck PL this morning. I also dominated the 4kingpoker.com private league game, which paid just under 25 bucks. In that forum, you get awarded points based on how you finish, and the victory put me into 3rd. At the end of the league, top 3 finishers get paid.

I also did the 5 buck at 9 with Chase, and he took a quick ouster. I, on the other hand, made another deep run. I was over 110k and made a solid pre-flop laydown with JJ after an utg raise and an all in. I would have gotten rocked.

I must have gotten AK offsuit a half dozen times in the 3rd/4th hour. I had been winning consistently with them until the biggest hand of the night. I raised in late position with AK suited and the dude to my left shoved for 60k. I had 80k left, and I made the call. He showed 8s and naturally, he held. I was crippled down to 20k with 1500/3000 blinds.

A few hands later, I picked up AK offsuit again and shoved second to act. 10s reraised all in, and QQ made the call. Of course, 10s flops a boat and I had no hope left. I went from in shape to make a run at a 4 digit payout to out in 27th place for a measly 24 bucks. I'll take it, but I can't help but think that should have been the big one.

At least I didn't get hebrewed. Didn't come across any poons neither, at least none that directly affected me.

The bankroll is just south of 234 now. Not bad, considering I never got above 200.40 before today. IDs of the week coming next...

POTD Award #5

2008-08-03T23:32:00.004-04:00

Think about something beside Snakes in and around your mouth

Yep. Another solid play by another awesome player. Meet "Kaathesnake" This guy must be a pro at sucking out..and I'm not talking just poker. He might just have one too many snakes in his mouth since he seemed like he was in such a hurry to donate his chips to me. This came in the 2nd hour of the $5 buck 15k guaranteed.

Notice his solid shove (it was an insta-shove by the way) with ace two off suit. Now my question is..WHAT IN THE HELL DID HE PUT ME ON--OR DID HE EVEN THINK AT ALL? Ace-2 off suit. For your tournament life. I re-raised from the small-blind, almost half my stack, indicating im pretty strong. If I have any form of ace. He is dominated, If I have a pocket pair, he is dominated. So my question is..What did he put me on? The only thing he could of been thinking about I guess was getting out and getting back to putting snakes in his mouth.

Another part of accepting the POTD Award is getting your awful stats shown on our blog. This Poon has made only a whopping $1500 dollars. He has played 551 tournaments, with only 3 final tables--Meaning he final tables a tournament less then 1% of the time

Congrats "Kaathesnake" you win the POTD Award

Another weak night

2008-08-03T23:20:00.004-04:00

I did three more tournaments and Pete and I did a $5-32 person heads up event.

$5 buck tourney- Shoved with top pair and a flush draw, a dude called a raise preflop with 93 offsuit, flopped two pair, and held.

$4 buck fl 5-card- Never got going, I had back to back hands where I was dealt sets, and got out drawn both times.

$2 buck- My AK vs AA..what can you do there.

$5-32 person heads up match. I finished 4th, which paid me $16 dollars. Heads Up is one of my more stronger phases of the game, I'm pretty good at playing my opponent and betting/raising off him. Pete got runner-runnered in the first round, why can't we both have good luck and our hands hold?

Today was decent for the day of "Sunday Morons" -- profited $63 dollars.
Went 1-7 in tournaments with a $74 dollar cash (2nd place) ---Still in the tourney slump

G'night poons.

Good Afternoon for Pete and I both

2008-08-03T20:26:00.004-04:00

As you know, Pete finished 3rd in the PL Holdem $1 buck event.

I started off the afternoon like I have ended the last few days. Getting screwed. In hour #2 in the $5 buck 15k guaranteed, I had QQ in the sb, the button raised to 400, I had about 3100 in chips. I re-raised to 1300..from then the button goes all-in..and I see yet again im against another donk.

My QQ vs A2

flop:5 3 5

turn:9

riv:A

Yet again, stupidity kills me.

I also did the $2.5 tourney. I was really short in chips, with about 1000. I had to shove with a9 suited before the bb hit me. I got called by KQ and got rivered by a king. Ousted 60 from the cash.

HOWEVER...I managed to get 2nd out of 456 people in the 5-card $1 fixed limit. I was in 2nd of 3 left and our table had been playing for so long, we decided to chop up the remaining money by chip stack. I cashed for $74.56 (2nd originally was $68)

So finally, I break the slump, get my 42nd final table and 9th second place finish.

Keep tuned in for tonight..Pete and I will be doing the $5 tournament at 9:00 et.

3rd ain't bad.

2008-08-03T15:06:00.002-04:00

Finished 3rd in the 1 buck PLHE 6 max. I started the final table with 98467 chips but never really came close to the chip leader, who btw is a P.O.T.D. candidate. Luckiest poon I've seen in a while.

I went card dead at the FT. After getting AA 8 times throughout the tourney, I didn't see a pocket pair higher than 9s all FT long.

After blinding away for the most part, I got to 3 handed play. My stack was low, around 60k. The others had a combined 700k, so I was in a hole. I limped utg w/ 78 suited, and the table idiot raised pot. I figured I needed a double, and crippling him would be gravy, so I went for it. He insta-calls with his pocket 5s, and flop is 8 5 Q. What can I do. Like I said, that's one lucky moron. I'll take the $48.46 for 3rd. Bankrolls back over 200.

More tourneys later today.

Early Morning Wake Up Call

2008-08-03T12:48:00.003-04:00

So 9:30 am rolls around as I'm dreaming and I hear "BEEP" I awoke, pissed, and looked at my phone as if it just told me the world was coming to an end. Who the hell would text me at 9:30 in the morning. Sure enough..our very own, Pete. He asked me if I wanted to get my lazy ass up to do some tournaments. Hmmm..nah.

Awake and ready to own. I'm starting this sunday off with the $5-15k guaranteed.

Speaking of Sunday, it's what Pete and I like to call "The Sunday Morons." You tend to see more morons on Sunday then any other day. Why? Because people who rarely play, morons, who work all week, sit down thinking "Hmm..I think i'll just not give a damn and play some poker." "Yea, I will make that call with j7 off suit."

Keep checking back, I will be playing all day as will Pete.

Early morning tournage.

2008-08-03T12:23:00.002-04:00

Did the 1 buck PL 6max and the 1 buck NL at 10:15 and 11AM respectively. As of now, I'm still in both. I'm sure this blog will jinx my chances though.

I'm in position to make a run in the PL. Combined, I've had pocket rockets 5 times so far. My two big hands at the PL came with the bullets.

I had AA with about 5500 in chips and raised. The BB called and the flop came KQ3. He checked, I bet half pot and he calls. The turn was a J, so I got scared. He checked again, so I put him all in for 2k hoping to buy it. He called with KJ. I said in the chat, "F*cking typical" and sure enough, the river 3 gave me the hand and 11k in chips.

My other big hand was with AA in the big blind. The sb, who had about the same stack as I did at 10k+ limped in and I made it 650 (blinds were 125/250). The flop was K x x. He checked, and I put in a value bet of 600 to see what he had. He called and the turn was another rag. He bet 1000, I popped it to 3k and he just called. The river was another blank and he bet 3500. I put him all in and he flipped K-rag and I took down the 20k pot. Now, I'm sitting in 6th of 72 left and feeling a deep run. I'll try not to get pooned.

I have just under 3k in the NLHE with 100/200 blinds. Really don't care.

No P.O.T.D. candidates yet, but I'm sure I'll see a few idiots today. After these two 1 bucks, I'm going to do a couple of private games and a bunch of tourneys later tonight.

Also going to have the IDs of the week later today. Check back

Burnt!

2008-08-02T21:44:00.003-04:00

So after an afternoon of water slides and wave pools. I look like I'm an indian, prepared for battle. My right side is completely burnt, as under my right eye. It looks like I'm half covered in war-paint. Anyway, when I got home, I had time to do two $11 dollar heads-up matches, winning them both.

Here was a dominating hand from the 2nd heads-up match, beautifully played if I do say so myself. I even talked the opponent into calling..observe.

As you can see, I raised with 4-8 off suit. In heads-up, I play differently for each opponent, if they are loose and aggressive, I let them do my betting for me. If they are tight, I tend to raise almost every other hand.

Good luck for me tonight as I will be doing the $15 tournament, $2 tournament, and perhaps some others..

Our Poon of the Day can't talk right now...

2008-08-02T02:17:00.004-04:00

The Poon of the Day for the first of August in the year two thousand and eight is of the verbal variety.

Meet docmudd. Me and Chase are sitting at a .25/.50 stud h/l table on stars, and this turd is sitting to my right. Me and him get into a hand with two other people involved. I made a 6 low on 6th street with a gutshot wheel draw. The moron du jour had 3 cards to a six low showing, and it would have taken A2 buried for him to have my low beat. Since he didn't raise early, I figured I had him. The two other callers were drawing to high hands, so I wasn't focused on them. Since I assumed I had the best low hand, I kept raising it up. I rivered my wheel, and bet out. One of the high hands came along, and this moron raised and fed the rake. I reraised, figuring I could scoop, and he just called along with the other player. We both had a 6 high straight for the hi, and I took the low with 5,4,3,2,A.

This anal wart proceeds to curse and drop these highlight reel comments:

docmudd said, "poon ur self quartered on the riv w gut card"

_the_panic_ said, "go cry somewhere else you tool"
docmudd said, "u the moron dk head"

_the_panic_ said, "yeah im the moron with a 6 low"
_the_panic_ said, "and 2 people obviously going for hi"
docmudd said, "sok it btch noone cryin"

docmudd said, "but ur lucky azz"
_the_panic_ said, "you look like a midwest pedophile number one, number two you have no clue what youre talking about, and three, if you cant take the heat get out the kitchen"

docmudd said, "kiss my azz punk"

...You get the point. Judging by his spelling, he has the IQ of a dead fly.

So what makes him a P.O.T.D.? Heh...

The idiot calls the chat mod on me. Because everything I said was too far out of line, right? Of course, he's the one dropping all the profanities. The mod replies back, and the jackass didn't say boo the rest of the game. The moron got himself banned! What a POON.

Not sure how much Chase and I will be playing tomorrow, as we both have plans. I'll be dropping my new "IDs of the Week" on Sunday, so check back.

Typical Ending But Broke The Streak

2008-08-02T02:03:00.004-04:00

Didn't do that much playing on ps today, as you can see from Winstar.

I played two tournaments. The $4-180 person and the $2 buck tournament.

I got donked out of the $4 buck early, a moron went all in after my reraise with AQ. He had 57 off, turned a 7.

The two buck..I cashed.. 117th out of 1709, cashing for a solid $4.85..but this..well, is standard.

Need I say more..? But hey, I'll take the cash, even though I got screwed..I needed to end the getting screwed streak BEFORE the cash.

Tomorrow, I'll be at a water park all day, so I wont be tourneying it up til late. Pete, who knows, he plays either sparingly or a sh*t load on certain days.

My patio segment will come out on Monday...stay tuned.

Winstar..Winstar..Damnit.

2008-08-01T18:46:00.002-04:00

So I woke up this morning early, to take a break from getting screwed on PS, to head across the border to Winstar to try and make some money at Winstar Casino.

When I sit at the 1/2 NL table I sit with my normal $200 dollars.

I wasnt getting much action early. My first real big hand came when I had AK suited, and faced a raise of $12 from a mid stack of about $95. I re-raised the action to $40 dollars, which then the guy re-raises all-in for a total of 95

My AK clubs vs Opponents JJ

Flop: KK7
Turn:3
Riv:6

Was a nice start after a slow beginning.

I built my chip stack to about $400, up a little over $2oo when the downfall (2 hands) began.

I looked down and KK from the BB. 3 players limped in, so I made it $12 dollars total to play. I chased out two players but got 1 caller (from a tight player)

flop: 8 5 4 rainbow flop.

I bet out first, $30 dollars, right around the total of the pot, to hopefully chase out any draws, in-case he called with A6. The guy who called just made the call.

Turn:K (no flush possibility)

I tried to be cute here and see if I could get a bet out of him by playing weak, so I checked. As did he.

River: J

Feeling good with my Trip Kings, I bet out $90 dollars. The guy immediately raises all-in, for a total of $125 more. By this time I was feeling confident. I put him on a set by now or maybe a j8 suited. I looked at the board and saw only one hand could beat me (67 for the straight) but he had been playing so tight I couldnt see him calling preflop. I make the call. He flips over 67. Nicely played, awful turn for me. I was crushed.

So with about $145 now in chips down for the first time for the day. I looked to regroup. Not even three hands later, I look down at AA otb. It folded around to the guy to my right. Who raised to $10 dollars. I put on my acting face, waited, then reraised it to $40 dollars. The guy, played very loose all day, made the call.

flop: 10h 9h 4c

The man bet out $25 dollars. I had a total of $105 left, My main thought was him having pocket Jacks or Queens, since I didnt think he would bet out with a set, I pushed all-in. The man lowered his head and then looked at me and said "I have a hell of a drawing hand, I don't think I can lay it down" He called and flips over QJ of hearts

Turn: 8h

River: Unknown

I didn't even stay around to see the meaningless card, once that 8h hit I just got up and walked away..pissed..like on PS.

Hopefully tonight I can make some money, until then, my POTD nominee (coming from Winstar) will be known if the winner.

And the Poon of the Day is...

2008-08-01T01:21:00.002-04:00

Congratulations to "Fábão," who put his name into Poon of the Day contention early on in our 4 buck 180 and never looked back. No poon came close to matching Fábão. This poon would qualify for poon of the month, if we had such an award.

Exhibit A: Fábão contributes to costing me a triple up. I get dealt pocket 10s in the big blind. Fab limps in for 50 after the first three players fold. A player with a lame ID named "deadmunnE" then raises 3x to 150. After a call, I make the call from the big blind, and action back to our P.O.T.D. He then reraises all-in, for 1060 total. deadmunnE then reraises all in himself. I think to myself after a raise, a shove, and another all in, my 10s have to be trailing. I folded and what do i see? Fábão's KQ offsuit vs munnE's 66. Bunch of poons. Sure enough, the board runs out and I would have rivered a straight flush. You cant make this crap up.

While donkey deadmunnE put himself in the POTD race by trying to back up his idiotic move, a series of other plays by Fábão won him this prestigious award.

This play needs no explanation, lamentation, or any other -ation. Just read it and shake your head.

After limp-reraising with QK offsuit and calling an all in with 6J suited, what does Fábão do with a made hand? Take a look. (No preflop action)

He checks the best hand, of course. You could argue he was going to check raise, but why take the chance? His opponent would have called with a pair of K anyway. Talk about having it a$$ backwards. Makes you really wonder where these people get their money from and why they use it on poker.

Fábão wins a nice cup of shut the f**k up for his efforts today.

Dishonorable mention goes to deadmunnE, who made a donkey play with those 6s and tried to back it up. This argument dragged on, earning him long consideration for the award. Oh, and he got ousted a few hands after that. Can't forget that.

Enjoy the evening.

No title necessary (Razz Update)

2008-08-01T01:18:00.006-04:00

Didn't play much today. Started off slow, getting ousted from the morning 1 buck holdem tourney. Final tabled a 4 buck 180 for the first time. I did the 25c poon-off with a few friends, didn't get anywhere in that garbage. Did the 1 buck razz, which I'm still in as of this post. Was looking good in the 2 buck at 11PM, an idiot shoved 5 grand with AQ and i made the call with 9s, figuring I was ahead. I lost, and finished out of the money by 37. What can you do.

I'll update my razz finish. 24 cash, so I'll probably end up anywhere from 25th-30th.

Poon of the Day honors will be handed out shortly.

Update: What do you know, finished 28th, just as I predicted. Got royally screwed, as always.

Can't argue either play here. I was short, Maran had the stack and took a risk. As always, I run out with garbage and the opponent rivers the best hand. It doesn't matter what game you play on this site, you always get pooned.

Going to have some video of a home game tomorrow. If all goes as planned, the video should look pretty tight, and it'll seem like a tutorial on how to own a poon. Check back for that.

Good Night and Screw all the idiots on Poker Stars

2008-08-01T00:11:00.003-04:00

Tonight- $5 buck tourney, $2 buck tourney, $1 buck razz (In progress)

5 Buck- I got solid hands early, couldnt hit flops. 45 minutes in my AK suited lost to pocket 9s.

2 Buck- Lost on the first hand to a moron, had AA first hand in the sb. Idiot in mid position calls the blind, the button raises to 60. I re-raised to 350. Idiot in mid position calls with QJ. Button folds.

Flop: J93

I shoved my 1150 into the 800+ pot and of course QJ is solid after a raise and re-raise, and he calls the all in.

Turn-K

Riv-10

I just can't beat stupidity. Having one of the worst runs on Pokerstars in my career. It's a sad day in the world of ps.

Awful Afternoon

2008-07-31T21:01:00.002-04:00

Once again, another disappointing afternoon.

The last two days I've gone 0-15 in the afternoon in tournaments.

My most disappointing was the $2 (4-max) where you have to win two tables to cash.

I was up early, leading the table with 2000 in chips. The table poon had about 950 and was in the bb. I limped utg with 67 suited, the button and sb (small blind) folded.

Flop: A67 rainbow flop
Poon: Check
Chase: bet 80
Poon: re-raised all in

Now I figured, at best he had an ace. He didn't fold a hand and was making poor calls throughout the beginning of the tournament. So i made the call. He had 89 off suit..raising 950 total on an open ended straight draw

Turn:5

I was so pissed. Suck out after suck out, It was to be my last tournament to register for the afternoon. I was already registered for the $2.50 tournament (which my two pair lost to a rivered straight)

With my bankroll declining, I need to make a turn around.

Tonight I most likely will do the $5 dollar tourney and perhaps the $2 buck at 10 followed by a $4-180

I need all the luck I can get, just to keep my dominating hands from getting sucked out.

$4 buck-180 - Ousted in 7th.

2008-07-31T13:36:00.007-04:00

Ousted in 7th.

Pete here. Chase hit the rail pretty early, but I final tabled it. I was getting low on chips; had about 17k left and was 6th of 7. I picked up AJ offsuit under the gun. I figured limping won't do me any good, and if I raise I'm probably committed. I shoved it, and then had two callers. Was against AQ and KK. Bad luck, bad timing. I'll take the cash though, haven't had any luck in 4 buck 180s before today.

Hour # 3
Chase: Still on the damn rail...
Pete: 5th of 11 left with 26.5k

Pete has been making his move, he found himself all in with pocket kings vs a moron with pocket 2s for a 20k pot.

Since then pete has been playing pretty aggressive, stealing blinds, and out playing opponents post flop.

Tune in to see if Pete makes the final table and goes for his 1st career win

Hour # 2
Chase: On the rail...131st.
Pete: 14th of 27 with 8845 in chips

Pete got a nice chip stack after a great read with AQ. After raising 3x to 450, a stack of about 1800 shoved. Pete made the call and held vs KJ. Moments later, his KK lost to.... A TWO OUTER. 6s, who was short, flopped a set. Nothing he could do.

With about 5300 in chips, Pete got QQ after a minimum utg raise. He re-raised all in, and got a call from the small blind. His queens got rivered by KA, and was down to 2200. Then, this big triple up set up a run at the money:

Pete managed to survive the first hour donk off but laid down the best hand against two idiots preflop. He made the right play, so you would think, but would of ended up having the best hand preflop and his pocket 10s would of turned into a straight flush.

Now, being short stacked early on, limits me on playing, especially against idiots. Some people might question my move, but the moron Turfin raised utg (under the gun) earlier with A7 off suit, another weak hand-another horrible play. I had no respect for him and I figured AK or a higher pp (pocket pair) would of re-raised the minimum raise, which didnt happen. So at worst I figured I was a coinflip.

Now, if Turfin was not a f*cking moron, he would of folded, and then the AJ suited would of called, and I would of doubled up. But since we play in a world of idiots...I got ousted.

Turfin is nominated for the POTD award

Good Morning Poker World

2008-07-31T12:36:00.002-04:00

Good Morning viewers. It's July 31st, just another day, another buy-in.

Pete and I will be playing in the same $4 buck 180 person tournament. The top 18 get paid.

We will be giving hourly updates of our progress and hopefully will not have a bad beat story to share.

Stay Tuned.

The Poon of the Day Award #1

It wasn't very hard to pick this poon out of the bunch. It wasn't necessarily for his play, just for his response.

jbrent33: Damn Donkey
lGotRivered: Donkey? Yea man, you are right, shoving with top pair short-stacked.

When receiving the POTD award, it also comes with a lookup of the stats. And like always, you can always spot a poon without knowing his past. only 20 cashes, over 100 tournaments played, and hahaha..excuse me...$101 dollars in earnings. Yea man, that flush draw had me dominated. You're right poon. I am the donkey.

Hope you guys enjoyed the first segment of The2Outer, see ya tomorrow, g'night poons.

Another day of PSing leads to a two out ouster. What else is new?

I didn't play much today. Won a 5 card sng, had a solid run in the 2-7 triple draw tourney but didn't cash, and then a deep run in the 1 buck horse.

In the 2-7 lowball, I just got unlucky. I pulled 8-7-6-3-2 on the second draw and thought I had the easy double up, but my opponent also stood pat after draw 2, and revealed 7-6-5-3-2. I can't tell you how many times I paired up on draw 3 when I should have easily taken it. Not bad for my first 2-7 tourney though, 28th out of 84.

In the 1 buck HORSE, I was sitting top 10 from 70 people left up until my ousting. I was feeling good, thought I'd finally get that elusive first win, or at the bare minimum get my 3rd final table of the month. We're on the hold'em stage, with stakes at 2500/5000. I get KA suited in late position with a under-the-gun raise. I just called it, hoping to see something I liked. I hit and, well, you can read the rest.

Typical day, typical ending. Another BS two outer on the turn ruins my chance at a decent pay day. Nothing I can do there accept curse at PS, which I did-- believe me. That right there is why me and Chase created this friggin blog. Another promising run goes up in flames.

Poon of the day-- not many candidates on my end today. Probably because I didn't play much hold'em. That'll be up shortly. Enjoy the night, poons.

Lets Start off The2Outer's first poker blog with a 2 Outer

2008-07-31T00:51:00.002-04:00

A bad day with a bad ending. I started my morning off with the daily 30 grand($10 + 1). Making a good read early on with top pair decent kicker and got sucked out by a flush draw.

Skip on down to the 1 buck tourney: Which is what I like to call "Trying to win the lottery"

Seat 2: liepshark (1280 in chips)
Seat 3: grand peach (1900 in chips)

Dealt to lGotRivered [Ks Kh]
VRV77: raises 60 to 90
lGotRivered: raises 1000 to 1090 and is all-in

Now Right here..it's a 1 dollar tournament, and Normally I just re-raise, but since you play against morons, you have to shove in this position and hope for a bad call..which is what I got.

*** FLOP *** [As 5h 3h]
*** TURN *** [As 5h 3h] [8s]
*** RIVER *** [As 5h 3h 8s] [7c]

Pretty Typical^^---You will see Pete and I use such phrases as "So Typical" or "That's Standard." Meaning we are used to the suckouts when we play against morons.

I had a rough day and my last tournament of the day ended that way. The $2 buck tournament at 7:15 pm. Almost had Final Table # 43. I got 10th, paying me a weak $18.55 when 1st paid $338.56.

On the day I went a pathetic 1-11 in tournaments (over-whelmingly below my 22% cash rate) 6 out of the 8 holdem tournaments I got all-in with the best hand and ended up losing all of them. But hey, its just another day on pokerstars.

Pete's Bio

2008-07-30T20:59:00.004-04:00

What's up. My name is Pete and I live on Long Island. I play on Pokerstars with the ID _the_panic_. I'm not really a high roller, but I'm trying to build a bankroll slowly. I'd say I'm more of a cash game/sit-n-go player as opposed to tourneys, but I'm solid in every game. 5 card draw is probably my best. I've got 3 final tables in three different games and a bunch of cashes, but nothing too amazing. I'll probably be getting my first casino experience sometime within the next year, so hopefully I can win there too. I spend most of my free time trying to play poker, but it's pretty tough when your facing a field of donkeys. You'll see what its like on a day-to-day basis playing and dealing with idiots online, and read along as we try to make it big. I know I'll have a few bad beats every day, and hopefully I can share some big wins too. Stay tuned for my "Funny ID's of the Week" posts, as well as our "Poon of the Day" award, both of which should be entertaining.

Chase's Bio

2008-07-30T17:30:00.003-04:00

What's Up guys and welcome to The2Outer. My name is Chase, I'm 19, and from Dallas, Texas. My friend Pete and I created this site so you online poker players can read our daily struggles in this world of morons. I play on Pokerstars.com and my User Id is: LGotRivered

My Stats can be seen at thepokerdb.com where you can see I've made a pretty solid mark playing 1-15 stake tournaments, making a little under 10k with 42 final tables and 7 wins.

When I'm not playing online--I'm most likely playing live at a casino in Oklahoma--I try to go 2-3 times a week, where you will find me on the cash tables.

Now with all this winning comes losing, and nothing makes me more pissed off as to win I lose to complete stupidity, which you will find alot of on pokerstars. Beginners who have no idea what they are doing, you can't make them lay down a hand, and people who just call just to call. Throughout our blogs you will witness our tournaments played during the day, how we did, hand for hand analysis, and you will actually get to see the actual hand where poons make horrible plays and get lucky, or donate to our on growing stacks.

Keep in mind-Also look forward to reading our Poon of The Day segment and Chase's Patio (my patio)

Getting Pooned

2008-07-30T17:26:00.001-04:00

How you get pooned: When you play in the online poker world, not only will you face alot of idiots, most of those idiots will suck out on you by making a horrid call and end up getting lucky...this is called Getting Pooned.

2008-07-30T14:15:00.001-04:00

Poon: Poon is the definition of someone who has no fucking idea what they are doing at a poker table.
