I'm Out!
Merry Christmas Y'all, or as they say in Hawaii, Mele Kalikimaka! See ya in 2005.
This time tomorrow I'll be a nervous wreck on a plane. Can't bring that drink cart around fast enough! :)
Hope everyone has a great holiday!
Iggy, I will work on the size thing when I get back.
SirFWALGMan, we'll find something for you to apologize to me for next year! ;)
John, you're in charge while I'm gone. Here's a crazy idea...write something!!
(Oh, and if y'all have the time...all prayers, chants, ritual dances, whatever you're into...that my appeal to the University is accepted and I don't get kicked out again and get to come back next semester, would be greatly appreciated. I'm facing the educational equivalent of a bad beat, and it hurts more than a little)

A little chilly
Not much to report poker-wise this weekend...cards have been running cold (damn them) and I continue to find the adjustment to .25/.50...less than profitable. Oddly enough, I find more "Party"-like players at this level than I did at .10/.25 - for instance, tonight I get jacks in the BB, raise to $2.50, get 2 callers...ok...flop comes 3 K 7, all clubs...trouble, I've got diamonds and spades for my Jacks. I bet out $4, get a folder and a caller...turn comes Qd. At this point, I don't have him on the flush, I'm only thinking he "might" have paired his King, but I'm not sure...and he's the short stack...I've got the money, he doesn't...so let's see how much he likes whatever hand he's got. I bet $16 to put him all in...and he calls. River comes King of diamonds. And he has? Pocket 3s, giving him the boat on the river. Eck...I guess what I object to is the whole 3s being worth a $2 raise in the first place. Perhaps he had a sixth sense that he was going to make his set...and the flop full of clubs and the large bets after the fact were not just a wee bit scary? No? Ok. My fault for not betting the pot on the flop I suppose.
Spent Friday night here at home cooking Christmas dinner for about 12 of my closest friends. Party started at 6, which means at 4, I was hitting the grocery store for dinner fixings. :) (As my best friend Nancy said "It just wouldn't be a party of yours if it was any other way"). And to continue with that theme, everyone was late, so things didn't really get started till 7, and dinner wasn't served till about 9. It took me hours, and reminded me, as I say every year, why I don't cook Christmas dinner. But of course, after dinner, there was poker. I was "partners" with my friend Joel, which really meant we would consult on our hole cards, agree that they were crap, however, Joel would want to see the flop on just about every hand anyway. Normally this goes against my tight-agressive playing strategy (oh screw you PokerTracker! Question mark my ass!) but I'll go along with anything a man wants when he's let me drive his brand new Jaguar around the neighborhood. Only real notable hand was when we had pocket 3s, raised it up, then the flop came 10-10-10 (yes Virgina, those things really DO happen in real live poker) and then went all in. Had two callers - my husband (bluffer, but I was a little worried he had the 4th 10) and my stepson, on the advice of my friend Bill. Stepson had KQ. Well guess what the river brought?? Damn Kings... Nothing like having a 12 year old suck out on you and then think he's just a world-class poker player. Fortunately he couldn't cover our all-in so Joel and I still had chips left. No one has the stamina to play a full game, so these usually end up in everyone deciding to go all in on the final hand and then whoever wins, wins. I believe Bill took that one. [Oh, and yes, I'm aware of the contradiction between this paragraph and the first one re: 3s. However, the difference is, no money was actually involved in the home game, and raises get little to no respect with this bunch anyway. We threw out green $25 chips, only because Joel favored the green ones, so people knew if we were parting with those, we must be serious.]
Then Saturday found us taking the trek to my annual family Christmas. This is always a blast. Last night we found ourselves outside in 40 degree temps with a fire in a metal bucket, music playing from my cousin's truck, and (of course) playing poker. Again, I love them, but no stamina. I was the lucky winner of the "all-in" last hand finale with a full house, jacks full of nines. I think my cousins think it's funny that their baby cousin is now so consumed with this game. At one point I asked my husband to get the chips for me. He came back with a bag of chips. I looked at him like he was from Mars. (Hello? This is me asking for chips. I meant the poker chips. Is there any other kind?) My cousin Scott has recently become engaged and his fiance Jennifer asked multiple times if we would be attending the wedding in Alabama next May. (Yes dear, and I'll be driving, and hitting every casino with a poker room along the way). Didn't get a lot of sleep last night, which is surprising given the amount of Everclear and other liquors in my system. Made the annual "no, we're not hung-over" breakfast before leaving town this morning, arrived home around 2, caught a little bit of the Texans game on the radio (good job boys!!), got some sleep in my own bed, and then hit UB.
And now, back to it...

"Would you please hold the goddamn hammering?"
-Frank Cross, Scrooged
Had a great time last night with Chris, TheFilmGeek, as he played in a UB freeroll. I'll let you get the full write up from him, but suffice to say, the hammer made its fair share of appearances, and you've never seen a table suddenly come alive so much...suddenly everyone's getting action. (And after he called someone's all-in with it, suddenly it becomes a playable hand for everyone! Next hand, another guy does the same, and I type in the chat to Chris - "Look what you started!!") I can only imagine what those people were saying on their end...it was awesome. A definite learning experience for me.
And speaking of other learning experiences...
The move up to .25/.50 has been...challenging. Which is fine, I knew I wasn't going to "crush" it like I was .10/.25 (although, was I "crushing" that level really? I hate to use that term...so boastful). I noticed pretty much immediately that at this level, the players are by and large much better. Which I think, is why I liked this level so much more in the first place. I hated dropping down to .10/.25...it felt so beneath me at first. So many clowns...and here's me, so much "better" than them...just forced to play at their level because I was bankroll limited. (Which is an extremely arrogrant frame of mind and got me into trouble on more than one occasion). I really need to get that association out of my head...just because someone can afford to play the higher levels doesn't automatically make them a better player (and vice versa). The tables do "go green" much faster I've noticed (thank you GameTime+...btw, anyone want to get together a pool to buy Kevin Ross oh...whatever the hell he WANTS for Christmas?? :)) so there are apparently more winning players out there than losers, or at least there were last night. Of course, as John said the other day, it's OK to take money from the winners too. My biggest problem is, I can't see a freakin flop for free, or even for cheap! And I was table-hopping, since the tables were "greening-up". They all believe in the no free-flop philosophy. Which, you know...they should. Can't really fault them for that. Except when I have cards dammit and want to see a flop for free! It's that my mindset is still on .10/.25, and so when the raise is $2.25 or something like that, my senses go "wtf?" but then I remember, "oh yea..." and try to do the math in my head of what that is comparision wise, and would I have called that kind of a raise at the .10/.25 tables with the cards I currently have...and hell, you know how I suck at math. And then...I wasn't hitting the flop. But I did get this...

Hand #3452757-11772 Summary:
$2 is raked from a pot of $84.90.
TexansBaby wins $82.90 with full house, queens full of aces.
That was pleasant! But then I pretty much lost it all a few hands later with the Sisters again, up against KK. No help from the board. Again, I think it's just not being in the groove yet...not yet familar with the betting patterns, etc. I think had that same hand been played out at the .10/.25 I would have smelled the rat and been able to drop the hand, and not lost so much from it.
I spent most of my night hovering around the break-even level. (Well, I'm still converting Bonus Dollars from my freeroll win, and I do that quicker at this level, so that helps I suppose). I hit another boat later in the night Jacks over dueces I believe, and that gave me nearly a $30 pot, so that made me happy. Shortly after that I was gonna call it a night, but ya can't pass up a chance to railbird a fellow blogger.
I admit, I didn't think this was going to be easy, but I didn't think it was going to be this hard either. I mean, I have been here before. It was like sitting down and thinking "When did y'all get so good?". Of course...here's a crazy idea hon. Perhaps they've always been that way. And you never really belonged there in the first place. I mean...that little stats section does say a lot. Huh.

Who Rocks?
Bill - cause he helped me with a MoveableType issue, something way simple that I was of course making far more complicated than it needed to be (SOP for April).
John & me, because we both have our UB accounts sitting at record levels. Although, I have to say I rock more, because in the last two heads-up matches we've done, I've been the winner. Although that's a crown that gets passed back and forth quite often, so I am by no means resting comfortably. But really, what good is it being the champion if you can't gloat a little? OK, a lot. You'll be happy to know I took a nice little pot down with the beloved 7/2, but it did me so wrong when I went all-in and failed to perform. Of course, if someone would just not CALL my bluffs, these things would not be an issue... I have to say I continue to find 7/5 the preferred hand, (see the entry about my first freeroll win if you missed why) but it fails to pay off for me in ring games, despite seeing board after board where it would be the winner. In tournaments of course, it's my own little Hammer.
So, due to my recent flushness, I've decided that tomorrow (well, today techincally) I'm moving up (or rather, back) to the .25/.50 level. And because I was raised by my mother, a woman who firmly believed in superstitions, (although, I've got to give it to her, there might be something to the whole "no alarm, no Ann Murray tape" in the Cadillac thing, given that the one they have now has seen neither and was never stolen in the 16 years they've had it, whereas all the others prior suffered from both afflictions and were each stolen multiple times...God Bless the city of Houston!) I fear a complete beat-down. Why? Because I'm actually announcing to everyone that I'm doing it...therefore results are expected. [Look, it's not logical. You have a mother. Like she didn't mess with your mind in some way? This is what mine did. And she can't figure out where it comes from now. Go figure.] But I was a good girl...I waited...I have my 300BB. (Made another 180BB at the tables tonight). The last time I moved up, it was too soon, and I couldn't handle the swings. I considered staying at .10/.25 until I was actually in the black...but I'd get there so much quicker at .25/.50. And yes, I'm tired of seeing those damn (___) - I want to start showing some positive numbers. I admit to being bored, it's almost like it's too easy. Is that a bad thing? (That's a serious question). I think this restlessness probably is...so a forced week off from poker is probably a good thing. (But lets see how many weird looks I get on the plane to Hawaii...cause you know if the Xanax doesn't make me sleep the entire time, the poker books are coming out...and there will be PLENTY. Not to mention the beach reading! "Don't get sand in my Sklansky!" Ha!)
So we'll see how it goes. I may be right back at .10/.25 with my tail between my legs. But I think I'm good enough (and doggone it, people like me...). I think more than anything, I just (as my mother says I do) psych myself out of it. I just need to remember that just because the chips are "bigger" to bet the cards the same way, etc. Not get scared off...50 cents ain't the same at these tables as it was at the others. Wish me luck...

So it's done
Last test taken...and damn was it hard! Of course, it probably didn't help that when my mind would go blank on a question, my mind would then go into "replaying hands from this weekend's poker playing" mode. If only I could get a course on something poker-related. (Nope on Game Theory...already checked)
So as of noonish today, I offically became a poker bum. And so far I'm off to a great start. Made 180BB in about an hour at one table (now remember though, this is .10/.25, so it's not like I'm heading out to Hawaii in a week or something. Well...I am, but not on my bankroll winnings)
At any rate, it's nice to have nothing to do but what I love. Oh, and pick the kid up every day this week...sure would suck to forget that. ["I know, I know, I'm late, I'm sorry...but I was in the middle of a really juicy game and I couldn't leave...you understand sweetie!"] Plus, it takes the mind off the whole waiting for the grades thing...
A big fat WELCOME BACK to my fellow bloggers who rubbed elbows with the poker elite (and each other) in Vegas this past weekend. Big congrats to Felicia for winning the tournament! Glad y'all had fun, wish I could have been there. [Did I hide my jealousy well? No? Huh.] See Pauly, Bill, and Maudie for write-ups...others will be coming in soon I'm sure.
Now about that kid...

Freaks
People up at 9am on a Saturday...by choice. Far too many of them. I expected campus to be a dead zone...oh no. People hanging out, studying, or walking too/from somewhere, in a casual manner, not in a "I have 10 minutes to get to my final" manner. Weirdos. Oh well. I guess not all of us were up till 1am playing poker and then tossed and turned till 4am... I couldn't even bubble in my name properly on the scantron (Starbucks hadn't kicked in yet)...and as I told my class buddies - "I should be in Vegas right now" (that one got me a high-five). Anyway...3 down, 1 to go. As of noon on Monday, I'll be all done till January. Hell, could be all done forever if I didn't get at least a 2.0 (and if that's the case, expect me to call upon those of you who are better writers than I to help craft a kick-ass appeals letter).
Last night sucked as far as cards were concerned. That little tourney I mentioned? Yea...I sucked. Finished 27/28. Just unlucky/probably should have been more agressive. My sets were beaten by flushes and straights. Kings were too. Forget the exact details of what happened to my final hand, (new site, not yet compatible with Tracker) but I do remember relaying to John my outrage that I was raised pre-flop with K8. So that was clearly a bad beat. (Not that anyone wants to hear about those...)
Then I hit UB to try and redeem myself. Tried a $10 10 person SnG. HaHa. Failed at that. Took a hit in chips when I made a boat, and knew I was up against either a bigger boat or quads. Sooo...here's a little reminder for me...when you KNOW you're beat (and I did...knew it all along) DON'T BET THE HAND FOR THE WINNER. That's what the whole Check, then FOLD is for. I don't know...I guess, in a small part of my brain, I thought there was the off chance I might have the bigger boat, or that he was bluffing. Truth be told though, my instincts were fairly dead on last night...just wasn't listening. Oh, and was playing like an ass. ;) But that didn't cost me a lot of chips. Made a bad call, made a set of 4s on the turn, went all in with them, when there was 3 clubs on the board...now, the mouse in me would have dropped that hand in a heartbeat. 3 of any suit + possibilty of 2 of matching suit in opponents hand = fold. (Unless, of course, I have him beat). But again...playing like an ass. So I was out.
That one really bothered me. I'm so much better than that. But I seem to have this tendency to go on these self-destructive mini-sprees. Thankfully they don't last long, but they do hurt the bankroll. In this case, it was obvious he made his flush on the turn. I don't know what possessed me to call.
But, we get over it. And try again. So I did. Yea, that one sucked too. Not as badly, but still. No real mistakes, just not playing up to my normal level. Went out 5th, all in with Cowboys. Called by A6s. He caught an Ace on the flop (ouch), and then another on the turn (double ouch). Just not my night...
Now that I've had my mid-morning/afternoon nap to catch up on sleep missed last night and this morning (I got up at 7. 7!! That's just wrong) I'm off to study for my next test. I have 2 weeks of lectures to catch up on...
A brief programming note...I've given John authorship rights here, so perhaps you'll see his witty little self popping up from time to time. Be gentle with him, it's his first time. ;)

For those of us left behind...
If anyone is interested in getting in on a $500 tourney tonight at 10 pm EST, at a new poker site, e-mail or Yahoo me for details. Right now only 10 people signed up, so...should be easy to make the money. Only need to make a $10 deposit at the site to join, $5 tourney buyin.

Funny
HumanHead posted a link to the 2+2 forum thread about the funniest things heard at the tables. It's become a huge thread, 35 pages long. Because I should be doing something else...I had to read it all. A few of them made me literally laugh out loud (and it's a shame Jonathan wasn't here to hear it), so I thought I would post them, Iggy-like, for y'all to enjoy, without having to go though said 35 pages.
So here goes -
A couple here:
My buddy was playing a live 15/30 game a couple of weeks ago and after a couple of tough beats in a row, stood up and yelled, "THIS SITE IS RIGGED!"
Playing in a 6-12 game in AZ. There's a guy who just can't stop complaining about his bad luck. After about two hours of whining, and several rebuys, I look over and say, "Hey, next time you're thinking about coming down to the casino, here's my phone number. Just give me a call, we can meet somewhere, I'll kick you in the nuts, you give me $200, and we'll be all square."
After a fair amount of raising and re-raising throughout.
"Jack High"
"What's your kicker"
"8"
"It's good."
I don't get to the local B&M more than once a month (to my dismay), so when I go I try to play long sessions.
When I go through a dry spell of like 45-60 min without a face card, I'll shout "Holy crap! They have cards with pictures on them here!?" when someone near me tables paint.
While it probably doesn't happen all that often, it sure feels like it sometimes.
$3-6 B&M, guy to my right is hammered and laughing, slapping me on the back, having a great time. (The whole table is having fun, because he's throwing off a lot of chips.)
Then the guy, out of the blue, says, "I once had sex with one of my nieces," and takes a swig of his beer. All activity (and I mean ALL activity) at the table stops. The players exchange very awkward looks.
Then the guy finishes his sentence -- "bridesmaids."
Much relief around the table. I was laughing so hard I cried.
-- Mike
I was in the Poker room tonight and I had 7 2 in the Big Blind, EVERYONE LIMPS, so I call.
The Flop comes 7 7 2
The pot grows and raises and it is now at least a 25BB pot
The Turn is 7 and again More money in the pot.
The River is Q and more betting
I win the hand with Quads and heard a guy actually say these words....
"That is a good hand but your kicker wasn't worth a damn!"
Big Steve
[A response -]
Yeah, I just hate it when my quads lose to the same quads with a better kicker. You never know when that 5th 7 will be out there.
Last night at the Bike, playing 2/4.
SB is worse than average; playing way too many hands, cold-calling flops with backdoor draws, etc... (he's also averaging more beers per hour than I am hands played per hour) but he's fun and is keeping the table light.
UTG+1 limps, then SB announces that he's been dealt three cards. SB calls for a misdeal while BB and UTG+1 say there can be no misdeal since someone has acted. After arguing for a while, the floorman is called over. He rules that SB's hand is dead and the hand will continue from there.
SB gets a tad upset that he payed $1 for a hand he can't play. He starts saying he should get his $1 back. He starts raising a little fuss and says, "Call the floor."
The dealer doesn't want the floor called over again (this would be the third time in two hands) so he looks at SB's mucked cards and quietly says, "You would have folded and lost that $1 anyway, you had 84."
Without missing a beat, SB says, "Have you seen me play?"
players in low-limit game get heads-up at the river. player 1 checks, and then player 2 checks.
player 2: "your pair is good."
player 1: "i don't have a pair. i have 10 high."
player 2: "oh, that's good too."
[And hey look who's famous!! Just had to share...]
SirFWALGMan posted this comment from an online game in his Blog a few days ago, where a female player had been taunting the table, trying to get everyone on tilt. Right after winning some hands against her, he says:
Quote:

I only hope I get to use that one myself, one day! :D
OK...enough procrastinating. I have to do some actual work if I want to be able to justify table time tonight.
Oh, and by the way...I haven't wanted to actually say it, but...Chris and Scott are right. You all suck. Love y'all, but you suck. Have a safe trip, good time, all that jazz...but is anyone gonna be up for a meet and greet in Feb. when I get to make my first trip to Vegas since I was 10? And does anyone know if they have casinos in Hawaii....?? Hmmm...

Look -
When I answer the phone "Make it fast, Wil Wheaton's on TV" - I'm not kidding. Make. It. Fast.
I love you people...really, I do. But save the lectures on what I should be doing for another time. Like, after the show is over, OK? :)
If anyone missed our favorite celebrity poker blogger in his VH1 "My Coolest Years" appearance...ya gotta catch the re-runs. I think someone has the lineup posted in the comments over in his post about it. It was awesome. [And no, I'm not just saying that...]
And then after, of course, hit the tables, had a rather unsatisfying night...not even worth updating the stats section. Ended up a dollar or so up, plus bonus dollar conversion.
And then tonight,

Thanks hon...really
Bankroll took a $20 $22 hit today. When I first started playing poker, I feared short-handed play. And heads-up? Forget it. The reason was simple really, I didn't have any strategy for how to vary my play. Well...I forget how it came about, but one day apparently John explained the adjustments I would need to make, I tried it out...and I've been a little hooked ever since. I think it's the additional freedom that you get to have playing shorthanded...the ability to go a little bit nuts. I remember when I was still playing with play chips at Stars, Fred would often tell me in the chat that I needed to loosen up and play a "few more hands kiddo" when it got to 5 players or less - Fred knowing exactly what my starting hand requirements were, since he had dictated them to me not a month earlier. Plus I love how the bluff factor gets amped in short-handed play. In a full ring, your kicker of 4 would be worthless and you know it...short handed, you act like it's the nuts. (Cause truth be told, it very likely is). Hmmm...if only I could incorporate some of that short-handed agression into my full-ring game... I think my AF is like 1.5 - the other day I was at a table across from a guy with an AF of 5. 5! I wanted to draw it from him across the table into me like some sort of mist...
So today, while I should have been like studying* or something, I guilted sweet-talked John into playing a heads-up SnG - one of my favorite things to do. Seems hard to believe that any convincing of any sort would be neccessary to get that man to play poker...but oh yes...
He won. I was doing well, being rather agressive if I do say so myself, until he took a ton of chips from me on one hand that I don't really recall because I didn't have the hand histories running...and he's the one with the killer memory.
And then later we did a $10 10-person SnG where I bubbled again...called an all-in on the flop, A6c vs AQo. I had the best hand at the flop, but of course...MALDITO RIO! So that was pretty much the death of me. Still need to work on my bubble agression in SnGs.
So...guess I need to hit the rings to work off those tourney win bonus dollars, huh?
Plus...I find myself with $20 in my PartyPoker account today. Hmmm...blogger table anyone? :D
* I'm not a total slacker...my final tomorrow is optional, at this point it can only help my grade, not hurt. Besides...for months I've been dreaming of when classes would be over and I could totally slack for days. So give me that. I'll get in gear tomorrow.

Hey look, 34 dollars...
So remember how in the last UB freeroll I tried, I took 96th place and won 50 cents?
Well last night (or rather, very early this morning) I did another, and finished 4th, and won $34.
No real memorable hands (no 7/5 in the BB flopping a boat and making quads on the river this time), but the key was - no big mistakes.
I got lucky early on, with my two pair Q 10, possible flush on the board, I knew my opponent didn't have it, I was all in...he did have a straight though...but I made a boat on the river.
As for mistakes...eh. At one point I had AKo and the board came x K x, all clubs. It's bet to me by the short stack, minimum bet. My thought was...he's either got 2 clubs or 1, and he's looking for a call or a raise, and he'll go all-in. I might have the best hand at this point, but I really don't want to take the chance of doubling him up. So I folded. And I showed. I'm putting this up for discussion - is there any advantage you think in showing that you can make laydowns like that? My thought was, it shows that you're not afraid to walk away from a big hand...and that you know how to read your opponent, etc. etc. (assuming you're correct in doing so...it can backfire at times) - all combining for table image. In John's opinion (my mentor) if anything, it just makes you more open to a bluff. So I don't know. I suppose I could have bet him all in on that hand...I did consider it, I had the chips certainly, but they were mine, dammit, all mine!! :) Not for the shortstack! With my red cards and all the black ones on the board...I just felt like it was a bad idea...
I ended up going out against quad jacks. And really, I am of the opinion that if you're going to go out in a tourney, against quads is the way to go. (Well...there is the Royal too, but let's get real here). All total I was in bed about 6 am. I'd like to say that's the last time I'll be up till 6 playing poker, but...I know better. ;)
Fixed! Thanks for the heads up SirFWALGMan. Since I am, as my husband put it, a "poker blog whore", seeing that post from you, that you actually were reading MY little 'ole blog and finding things worthy of commenting on...well...made my day to say the least.
And then today...talk about making the big time! Thanks Iggy...your compliments mean a lot. In your honor I include this random picture of my best friend's son...kind of fitting, as his father was the one who got me so addicted interested in playing poker again in the first place.
