There Just Isn't Enough Time

So, I stumbled across the biggest waste of my time ever, next to poker. It's a game called "Onslaught" it's free and online and I recommend everyone try it, but be warned I've wasted the past 2 days playing it. If I could just find a way to get paid for it.....Onslaught.

So, I returned from Vegas yesterday and feel great. Highwaytime and I played a decent amount during my week in town and it was a solid week for both of us. We had a few prop bets that he did emerge *victorious in, but it was close and there is still some room for debate. I did however destroy him in a foot race.

The game for the week was built around one player we call Old Navy. He’s about 75 and always wears a denim Aladdin jacket and a Navy hat. The guy was very nice, but Mike and I proceeded to extract every dollar possible out of him. He was very LAG and wasn’t folding once he had money in the pot. During one of our final sessions, I arrived shortly before Highwaytime and Old Navy had about $600 on the table. The two of us sat on each side of him and in a span of about 4 hands managed to get most of his money in to our stacks.

We also went to a 51’s game with the infamous Gambling Duke and his girlfriend, thanks again. I tried to hustle her in prop bets during the game, but alas it turns out she’s smarter than me, so no luck.

Highwaytime introduced me to the glory that is Viruta Fighter 4 and I will be entering an intense training regiment to get in to shape for my return trip to Vegas. I still want my $1500.

I also received conformation during my trip that Big Carolina will be making an appearance in Vegas, so I’m clearing my calendar for that. All in all it was a good trip and great to get back in some live action after thousands of online hands.

Just a closing note, if you are ever given the decision to either attend Pathfinder or the Aqua Teen movie, just kill yourself as the it will be a faster and much less painful death that way.

Quick Update

I will soon regale you all with my tales of prop bets and the pokers, but until then I give you
Bea Arthur Fighting a Raptor. Enjoy!

Tilt

Oh how wrong things have gone. I had a terrible run on UB and essentially felted myself. I lost a bunch of 60/40’s in PLO, then proceeded to tilt off the last little bit I had. I was basically broke on UB.

I’m not so much upset about losing the money, which does suck, but I more upset that I allowed myself to get to the point that I could tilt like that. It’s something that I need to work on phasing out and just not doing. Brain Townsend is amazing at it. He can lose pots for hundreds of thousands and not bat an eye. I have a feeling he was like this even playing .25/.50, so I’m going to work on it.

Now, for the good news, after being thoroughly dominated in every random poker game I played with Highwaytime on UB, I managed to make a slightly miraculous comeback and roll $40 into about $320 as it sits right now. The comeback is in full effect. I’m not going to put timeframes or anything like that on it, just going to play my game and see if I can’t get back to even on UB, maybe even win some to donate to Highwatime in Triple Draw. That’s it for me.

Blah....

Feeling a little rundown, not really sure why. Got my money deposited in to UB and I think that is part of it. I don’t really like playing on UB that much and I feel like the bonus is an uphill battle. I need to get my mind right about it, because bonuses at this point add a tremendous amount of money to my bankroll. I just hate clearing them.

I’ve also really been crushing the Full Tilt nlhe games, more so than usual, so I really want to spend my time over there playing. I’m just going to buckle down and get this damn bonus going. I’m sure once I put in a few good sessions I’ll feel better about it.

Also, on a pretty sweet side note they are building this right next to my house http://www.bigleaguedreams.com/, which I think will be pretty cool.

I’m off to play a real session on UB. Later.

Not a lot going on......

I don’t really have a lot going on lately. I managed to finally clear my bonus on Full Tilt and am waiting on them to transfer my money on to Epassporte, so I can then deposit it on to Ultimate Bet to clear their deposit bonus.

I did leave a little money in Full Tilt, so I’m playing over there a little, but mostly just relaxing right now. I tried to play yesterday, but just didn’t have it in me, so I quit after about 5 minutes. I’m really going to log a lot of hours on UB clearing that bonus, but I’m going to try and do it on a more traditional schedule. I don’t want to stay up and play all night, going to try and play during the day and sleep like a regular person at night, we’ll see if it lasts.

Updates and Advice

Well I'm still trying to clear this bonus on Full Tilt. I'm so close and should be done today with a reasonable amount of play. I think I would have been done already, but I was having internet issues. Played in the FT $45oo Guarantee and took 8th. I should have gone deeper, but made a foolish play out of the SB. I need to work on my final table play. I've played 2 large MTT's this month and cashed in both. I may start playing a few more just to see if I can put something together.

I've read some great articles and posts lately and figured this would be a good place to share some of them. This is the first of a few The 2+2 Forums: WAIT!, hats off to Pokey, the author.

Camtasia

For those of you that don't know Camtasia is a transvestite Asian prostitute that I occasionally see in Vegas..........ok so it's just some software for recording crap on your computer, my life is pretty boring. Anyways, I recently purchased it so I could start making videos of my play to review at the end of sessions. I'm also a member at cardrunners.com where you can post your own vids for feedback. The overall goal here is to improve my game.

I made my first vid with along with Highwaytime who also has this setup. It was pretty cool and I was able to show him exactly why my play is superior to his. I'm excited about the whole thing and plan on putting up some vids along with blog entries in the near future.

I've just about cleared my bonus at Full Tilt and plan on going whoring over at Ultimate Bet by weeks end. I'm looking forward to getting to UB so I can continue my dominance of Highwaytime.

My last thought of the day: Where has the Duke gone?
