It's RIGGED!!!

Last night before I went to bed I ate three waffles. Terrible idea, I woke up not feeling so good. Not getting enough sleep isn’t helping either. Not getting enough sleep for me is like seven hours instead of eight. I made my March Madness picks this morning. Took me about 40 minutes. If there is gunna be a year full of upsets, this is gunna be the year I think. Although I still picked four #1’s in the Final 4 lol. I picked the Zags to win one game. Then they play Syracuse. They are the team I root for every year. They are about three hours away from me and I know dozens of people that have went there.

After that I went and did a quick work out. Then I went to lunch with my brother, his wife and our parents. I planned to play poker, but I can’t turn down a free meal. It’s better than cereal, sandwiches and waffles every day. I was gunna play a set when I got home but the games were reg infested. Everyone must have been playing during the day so they could go party for St. Patrick’s Day. I decided to study, but I kept falling asleep. I decided to take a half hour nap.

4:00 came around and I finally got started playing. It didn’t start off too bad. On my second set my nemesis tried to load up on top of me again, but I caught it just in time and unregistered fr all my tourneys except for a few. I was playing good today, when this hand came up. Nemesis is the raiser:

I can’t believe it held up. I think it’s the first pot I’ve ever won against him.

Another thing that I’ve been working on is playing a lot more aggressive on the bubble. It has been working fairly well for me, but I have to be careful because people are not as risk adverse as some make you believe. They may thing they know ICM but they are willing to snap call you with a lot of very -EV hands. That’s not good if it’s a stack that can hurt you. I watched Vandweller’s videos a couple days ago amd got a little too aggressive. He might be able to play that crazy on the bubble at his limits, but it just doesn’t work like that at the $12’s. It’ll work against some regs and very very few randoms.

My last two sets were complete shit. I ran terrible, just god awful. Getting beat the worst wasy possible. I’ll tell you what, my roi is very low for how much I play, but I genuinely think I have run bad for a long time. I get beat at the worst spot possible time and time and time again. That’s just in one session! Oh and I won’t even talk about how many second places I get that I get completely screwed on. I can have a guy 10k to 3k. I lose that battle about 8 outta 10. I’ll have the guy dominated three times in a row and he’ll come back and beat me about every time. It’s sickening and I would love to run just decent for once. Here’s an example of how great I ran in my last session. I was just getting started with this one:

MP: t505 M = 1.40
CO: t1480 M = 4.11

Pre Flop: (t360) Hero is BB with Q Q
2 folds, CO raises to t1480 all in, 2 folds, Hero calls t1240

Flop: (t3080) 6 J 9

Turn: (t3080) 8

River: (t3080) 8

Final Pot: t3080
Hero shows Q Q (two pair, Queens and Eights)
CO shows 6 8 (a full house, Eights full of Sixes)
CO wins t3080

Why do the bad players get to run good? Can’t wait till my turn comes. I’ve only been waiting for like 10000 games…

I decided to quit after my fifth set because I was getting super pissed. I only lost $7 so I am happy with that. Well my cat just shit in his litter box and it’s stinking the whole house up, so I better go clean it out.
