"Cuz I'm back on my grind,

Money back on my mind,

Ya Killa-Cam,

Tha world is mine!"

This song is dope, check it out! I'm a sucker for Kanye beats though...

The weather here in Denver is truly unbelievable this time of year, so me and the roommates have made sure to get out to a few Rockies games before the weather starts to turn. Fortunately we've been able to score some pretty sweet seats for the games, because my parents have season tickets, but they've been out of town so they gave the four tickets to us. Check out the view from the seats below. It's funny because if a left handed batter is up, people can see you on TV very clearly. So a lot of times I'll be at the game, and then I'll get a text from people telling me to stop picking my nose or get off the phone etc., haha. But one time it worked against me, because my parents gave me the seats, but I ended up wanting to do something else that day, so I ditched out on the game. So I got a call from my mom later on asking me how the game was, and I tried to bluff her saying I went etc... But she turned on the game and saw that the seats were empty, so she knew I was bluffing, but I 3b bluffed my way out of it and told her we went and sat with some chicks in some shitty upper-deck seats instead of the premium ones hahaha. wp!

  

I was also in a buddy of mine's wedding in Fort Collins. Weddings are the nuts man. Chicks look their best for 'em, and it's a fantastic excuse to get drunk, meet new people, and overall have a good time. Here's a pic of me and a buddy from the wedding. I'm the one on the left.

 

I also went to a club in Denver called Jet for the first time a few weeks ago for a buddys birthday. It was pretty sick! 

Speaking of birthdays, my birthday is this Thursday, so I'm pretty stoked. Obviously I'm kidding about getting an AARP card, but turning 26 seems kinda old in the online poker world. Labor Day Weekend is always my favorite weekend of the whole year not only because it's my birthday, but also because that's when they have the CU vs. CSU rivalry game, the weather is always nice, and it's a holiday weekend so everyone has extra time to come out and celebrate my bday with me! I'm going on some kind of pub crawl they do every year where they take a party bus full of like 45 people to Boulder during the afternoon/evening, and then back to Denver for the night. You basically pay 60 bucks to have unlimited drinks for the whole day/night, and you basically just hit up every single bar that's decent in both Boulder and Denver. Everyone dresses up too (gotta encourage the girls to dress slutty amirite?), and this years theme is Back to the Future. Needless to say it's gonna be a sick time, so I'm looking forward to it!

When I haven't been drinking beer at Rockies games, I've had some time to put in volume. I went on a very nice heater earlier in the month, but eventually got doom-switched again for a few sessions. And what way to squash a downswing than to take a shot right? I couldn't really help myself, since I got the Jesus seat on a very friendly rainbow trout on two different tables. Unfortunately I didn't run as well as I could've but I only ended up losing ~$1500, which all things considered isn't too bad. I'll post some random hands from the last ten days for those who're curious. 

It kind of sucks that I have to get my money in flipping against the fish, but that's just how the hand played out. Against a lot of players I might choose a c/c flop c/r turn line, but he was a massive call station, so I didn't want to give him a chance to check the flop back. After he raises the flop the rest of the hand plays itself. Kinda weak that the turn bricked both times and he still scooped 'em both imo.

Lifetime I bet I've played maybe 100 hands of cap, which I think hurt me here, because afterwards looking back this is a 3b pretty much always. My reasoning at the time was that I wanted to make sure to keep the fish in, it was only a min raise so I can't get as high of a % of my stack in, my hand is pretty polar/nutty so calling can't be a huge mistake, and if I 3b everyone will call me so it's a pretty high variance play getting it in postflop. But the other side of that is they probably all don't call me, I'll likely get 3 way or HU and be able to get the rest in on most boards etc. But so it goes.

Blah, kinda hate this hand. My first instinct was to fold the riv, but I talked myself into calling because I figured he'd play any boat this way, and he was a really spazzy fish. Only thing that made me want to fold is that he snap shipped the river, and like I've said in videos, snap actions from weaker players are almost always polar, and in this case he would never have air, so therefore it should be the stones right? Good turn for him I suppose...

This one prob looks donkish so I'll explain. Basically I min raise to re-open the action for the UTG short-stack limper. Plus, the CO is playing 89/72/3b of 55, 4b of 30 (!!!). So it gives him a chance to go off too, and worst case scenario is everyone just calls me, which isn't a big deal since I'm only risking an 1 extra bb, but I could get HU AIPF etc. Plus my hand plays fine in a min raised 5 way pot OOP. Ultimately I think it worked out nicely :)

Here I bet small on the turn because he was peeling reaaaaalllly wide, and all sets and most 2pr's wouldve raised the flop, so I figured the only way to get value was to bet small to widen his range or get him to bluff turn or river.

I thought I took a cool line in this rush hand so I'll include it. No real reads on Villain to start the hand. I raised the flop for a couple of reasons. First, I'm not concerned about the SB hitting this flop very hard, and second I think the BB leads all draws, 2pr's and sets, but I have a 7 blocker so 67 is unlikely, and basically my thought at the time was if I call it's hard to rep 67 later, and i give him a chance to barrel me on the turn and make me fold, but if I raise I can very credibly rep 67 since I look stronger because of the player behind me, plus as long as the turn isn't a 6JQ or board pairing card I think I'll pick it up a very high percentage of the time, and even if it's a 6 i might bet anyway... Depends on the actual card and my reads on the player I suppose. Plus he might fold the flop, and I have some equity (pair+gutter) so it doesn't have to work as often either. Multi-street planning FTW!
