Yesterday was D-day (dentist day) and for those who know me not something i look forward too. I manned up and walked in, sat in the chair and laidback. Opting to skip the injection and not to spend the rest of the day drooling around town. 25 minutes later and $230 i am outta there no harm done... this time.
Got up today and sat in front of the PC playing 5 MTTs, 1 SNG & a little cash game session. I hit the $3r flying into a nice stack and never looked back, scoring 65/3600 or so. Not a bad run hours after i started. Played very well in a few others and cashed in the Heads Up MTT again in great fashion never really having any trouble at all. Ran deep in a few others with no result.
Took a shot at another hyper sat into the $70k Gtd taking a major short stack into a commanding chip lead and a seat, which i cashed out for the $TD. Doubled a nice little stack on the low limit cash tables and decided 5 hours after i started it was time to get up and shower, lucky no one was around cos let me tell you, i stank!
Walking out to pick up my son from kinder i noticed the sun was going down and i hadnt even looked out a window today, eh theres always tomorrow.
Before i sign off for now i want to give a shoutout to my mother in law who i found out reads this. Pretty cool, all you blokes with dodgy mother in laws ha ha ha you got screwed!
Good luck on the felt.

Little poker and broken teeth
Havent been playing alot of poker lately, cant really pull myself away from the Playstation 3. Still doing a little TDing with the APL and seeing some classic beats and pots with players that have more beer inside them than blood! But as it should be the solid players still coming through it to meet up at the final table.
Broke another tooth the other day, so looking forward to a nice dentist bill somewhere in the region of the Sunday Million buy in :(
Think i might go grind up some low stakes limit hold em, maybe even a home game....
Untill next time.

How can you kill that which has no life?
The title says it all. How can you beat online poker people who have no face, no shame and an endless supply of cash? All i can think of is the South Park episode where they rip off World Of Warcraft and that one fat lazy fucker kills everyone with one strike. They boys get around it by "GRINDING", yep the boys take a few weeks to kill bores in the safe part of the forrest to gain points.
So far this makes sense to very few of us geeks and others have stopped reading it by now. The poker version of this is people shoving hands at random or worse still calling your shoves and hitting with K7 to flush your AA out or 57 off suit to slaughter you yet again. The one time you hit them they rebuy so quick that they dont miss a fucking hand.
It makes my head spin. Whats the answer? Grind out the bores in the safe forrest, just one little problem. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE BORES?

Rebuy = No sleep :)
After selling some of the action on ChipMeUp, i sat down at 10pm to start the $11r event on PokerStars.
It was a dodgy start i made it to the break with a low stack. It was so low i alomst didnt add on as it was looking like a waste of time. But i did it, Add on please virtual dealer man.
All of a sudden it was 12:15am and the wife was walking in from work, and i just cashed in 7th in a little $3 KO on FTP. I was looking good after a few solid hands and was back to about the 180/400 mark. With top 162 cashing i thought i can cash in this.
Next minute i was short stacked again and looking at just missing the money 190/199. Open shover with my last 7 BBs with Qc8c and get called by QQ in the SB. Magic turn gave me the flush and maybe the chips i needed to cash.
About 2am and i am in the money 50/147. After flopping a set of 7s vs AK on a K7X board i was in the lead 1/45 left and was in a situation like my favourite SNGs, the 45 players!
4am and i am sitting 1/19n with a nice 90k chip lead. It took about an hour to play down to the final table, and lucky me got quad 9s to take us to the FT. Wasnt long till we were down to 7 players and thats when i stepped it up a gear and ran over the table. I knocked out the next 5 players to take us Heads up vs a guy who i had been battling all night.
I have a nice lead with 3.2 to his 1.4 but it didnt last long when my KK went down to A4 and so many more hands feel away.
All in for my last 900k with AJ vs AK and the board bricked out leaving me sitting here at 6:10am, 8hrs into the game with a 2nd place for just over $4,000. With a super pumped share holder on the rail it was ok to finish 2nd but i feel like i let myself down heads up.
Now its 6:20am and i am trying to payout investors who scored a nice $US400 each for a little $5 outlay. Now if that isnt a great reason to buy shares i dont know what is.
After what seemed like 10min sleep i am awake and having to try and maintain a normal day. Not going too bad so far but ask me again later on.
Go swans vs the hawks today, a Sydney win would cap of a great weekend.
