But then I kind of fell off a mountain...
Day:
Month:
A lot of standard stuff, coolers and suckouts whatever. This shit is embarrassing though, going to have to move down to 4nl...
Fuck it, I'm going to get fireflies and watch some drunks.
Had a busy day so only got 1.5K hands. Pretty happy to be back on the right track though.
I'm going to get drunk and watch Firefly!!
Month so far:
Fuck it. I'm going to get drunk and watch Firefly.
So I'm trying to put in about 3K hands a day for January...
10NL
10PLO
soooooo -60bb/100 isn't THAT bad right?
Get your shit together 2012, I don't think you realize who I am.
Not much to update poker wise, haven't been able to grind a lot while over at my parents house. Have played a little PLO which I never play and it astounds me how bad the people are at PLO10. Calling 3bet jams with TP? Happened twice to me. So up 8 BIs in less than 400 hands. Awesome sauce.
Will be putting in massive volume come january though. Made a bet (only for pride) with JShoop (I think Dirty Chipz on here) for who can get the most hands in, so I'm going to try to average 3,000 a day and see if I win. Will be kind of tough because I'm only going to be playing 6-8 tables though. God I want some pride.
Tonight is UFC141 though and I can't wait for the Main Event. Overeem is going to crush Brock imo, but it's one of those fights where I just get chills I'm so excited. Rest of the card is pretty bland but my main card picks are:
Nam Phan over Jimmy Hettes
Alexander Gustafsson over Vladimir Matyushenko
Jon Fitch over Jonny Hendricks
Donald Cerrone over Nate Diaz (should be an awesome scrap)
Alistair Overeem over Brock Lesnar
Overeem is the only one I bet on, but if past performance is any indicator of my picks, he will be the only one that loses. Hope you guys watch, should be awesome.
I was thinking I would like to try to play some live pokers but just don't have the roll for it right now. It seems like life works in strange ways though, and when I was visiting my parents over the weekend I found my old Magic cards from a couple of years ago. I used to play a lot and knew I had some valuable ones, but haven't played in a while and had no idea if there was still a market for them. I did some research and....holy hell. Seems like every card I bought individually at least tripled in value, and some random ones 20X.
Some of the highlights:
Tropical Island ($95) X 20 = $1900 (not all of this one, but of the same cycle that are close to the same price)
Force of Will ($65) X 4 = $260
Dark Confidant ($45) X4 = $180
Tarmogoyf ($90) X 4 = $360 (plus 1 more that is foil that goes for around 250) =$610
Stomping Ground ($22) X 35 = $770 (Again, of the cycle so about the same price)
Wooded Foothills ($22) X 6 = $132
Maze of Ith ($37) X 1 = $37
Wasteland ($20) X 4 = $80
Thoughtseize ($24) x 4 = $96
Up to $3,455 and I'm not even done going through them. Holy fuck. Now I just have to figure out how to sell them. Obviously I'm not getting those prices but even if I only get half got dayum. Any tips on where is best to sell these would be appreciated, have a shit ton more too, and then a lot of bulk too, so not sure if I should sell the high priced ones individually and then use the stupid amount of $5-$15 cards to help sell the bulk or just do one big collection or what. Feel like I just won the lotto though. Thank God I didn't have a girlfriend in high school and had nothing else to spend my summer job money on...
I think I found a live roll.
The day started out pretty good. I took my first shot at 25NL 6max and I felt pretty good about it. Won 2 buy ins, went out for some lunch and was feeling awesome. After that though today has sucked. Quickly lost back those 2 buyins, and switched over to HU, where I proceeded to lose my ass.
Played against a maniac who just crushed my soul. Feeling like I suck at poker right now, but whatever, I just need to take a day off and study.
Some of the hands vs the guy who was 3betting 78% of his hands and opening to 6x (open folded all 3 times I got AA and whenever I flopped a set/straight/two pair, it was impressive how good he was at reading my soul)

I think I should stop for today.
Day's Graph:
PS: While trying to submit this blog there was an error message, had to retype it, After getting finished I realized I could have just hit the back button. Self loathing=all time high.
It's been a good month for me. I was playing way too many tables in November and decided to scale it sown a lot and see if I could start crushing.
December Grapgh so far:
Most 10NL with 1 successful outing on a 25NL HU table for 360 hands. Really happy with the month and will be trying to update after every day as well as some hands.
