I'll flip you for it

Rory's girl friend and some of here mates arrived in the commerce last night. They wanted to go out in Hollywood. Got an hour in on the threadmill before we headed out, which I was very happy with. Had a plan to take it easy on the booze. The girls wanted to go to a night club that the lads in the TV program "The Hills" go to. We get there and theres like no fricking hope of 8 of us gettin in. I had feeling a quick $20 bribe wasnt goin work here. Anyway so I am there creepin at the back of the heard spying on the redic hot burds goin in when were usherd in. Word filters back that we bought a table for $xxx. Wtf that amount to get in to a night club. We got 2 bottles of vodka aswel with it. I decided I was goin get my moneys worth. Next thing I know I am back in the hotel room deciding I am goin giv the tables a spin. Get in to a 10/20 with $3k and am up to $3,500. I am talken the best game in the world and recking every one's head. When the local chinese pro goes,
China man "You think your a hot shot"
dagunman "obv"
China man "what u got in front of u"
dagunman "3,500"
China man "i flick you for it"
dagunman I was like ah bollix I am found out know, ah fuck it sure will giv him a spin
So we run a holdem hand blind for $3,500 each! Flop aq742, I look down j5. I announced u got me j hi, he goes j hi aswel, i tell him ya got me so I hav 2nd nut low jack. Hes starts goin mad just the j3 for me. I start goin nuts doin the whole hevad khan monkey dance. When a man is down u gotta kick him again so I offer to go double or quits knowing theres no way he could. Then start hammerin with abuse and demanding that he refers to me as hot shot. I am now in full swing screaming abuse at every one at the table. I am hittin cards aswel so am up to $17k before ya know it. I am binning chips like a mother fucker. Have $9k back in my pocket on the sly.
Eventually they cop on and are like you have taken about $3k off the table.
"Oh ur not allowed do that,you are in Ireland, I taught you could do it here, I am such a spa sorry lads" "Well then put it bac on". "tbh lads it is more like $9k and its not goin bac on the table and if you hav a problem I'll leave the game with all your money". Eventually get out of the game winnin $11k which puts me up $9k for the commerce.
On a serious note I try my balls off for 2 days trying to grind profit. Then arrived pissed and scoop the loot. No juatice in life.

Commerce casino rocking my world

The title was meant quite literally. We had an earthquake here yesterday. She gave us a half decent rattle. It was actually very enjoyable as I was still in bed. It was a 5.8 on the wrister scale, would have liked to got in to the 6's, mayb even a small 7. Commerce casino is in Inglewood so would of had a gud view of looting if any of the lads decide to kicked off, but wasnt to be. On the poker front played 4 sessions in the commerce and am down $2,400. Games r soft but I ain't makin hands. Been down $2,400 isnt too bad as am playen 10/20 blinds. Games are good enuf but not as soft as I hoped. Chub played a 15/16 hr session yesterday. He was in a 5/10 max buyin $400 game for 6 buyins ($2,400) and was down to $150, eventually got it all back.
Eoghan O' Dea made it through his heat in the poker million. We spent a week in the hotel room in santa b telling him how he was goin b an embrassment on TV. That Tony G was goin shread him and how embrassing it would b to be beaten by girl. However he walloped the lot of them out the poker and hes in the Ladbrooks poker million semi final.
Also a gud lol ran in to 2 irish guy's in the poker room in Commerce.

Not makin happy readin

Basically finished playing on line til my return to Ireland which is the 8 th of September. Off to the Commerce Casino in LA tomorrow where I'll try grind out some profit for the next 10 days r so. Then I leave for Chicago where I am hooking up with a few normies for a poker free holiday. I think I won $70k in vegas as a result of my result(was up $100k after it). Just lookin over my online figures now and by golly I did my stones online for the holiday. My records while not 100% accurate indicate I did between $45/$50k online for the trip. Still winnin $20k which is ok/fair but I have done $75/$80k in the last month and a half. Kinda scary when I think, fuck I have just dropped $80k and this is the first time I taught fuck theres sumtin wrong with that. Or is there? Poker is a game where variance plays a massive factor and you basically have to embrace it. For sure there is a few spots where I could have avoided loosin some of the $80k,but hey you live and learn.On the flip side theres plenty of spots where I would have went I shouldnt have played that game if I lost but I won so its all gud. No point in using hind sight to beat your self up. But I am on a truly awful run, where I just put my money in and wait for my enemy to hit(I am on a scary run of floppin da nuts). All in all I am reasonably happy with where I am for the year.

Lol was just goin through my accounts(keep a book with weekly figures, year figure toataled and finally a note which will contain my taughts on my games progress, leaks i need to address, things I do right, things I do bad etc) on the 22nd of june I had reached my yearly target. A note with some nice back slapping and basically how evertin was rosey in the garden and that world domination was max a year away but we could be running things by Christmas. Now the 28 th of july and $80k less and I am not allowed to wear a belt or shoe laces, have to eat my dinner with a plastic spoon and am not allowed in any 2nd floor room with a window.Oh wat a difference a month makes.

Running like lead

Sorry for the lack of up dates but it was a technical issue out of my control. Well since I posted last I hav gone on a serious down swing. Evertin was going well up until last thursday. Was up $15k for the day when bang i lost 3 $10k pots and a $15k in plo to go from up $15k to down $5k.
I like to play my poker hard and fast, all well and gud when your winnin but can b a bit of a problem when the cars in reverse. I have slapped another $17k of loses on top of the $5k and am now down $28k since I set my new goal. I was up $11k at one stage in it so by my estimates thats a $40k down swing. Not playen my greatest but not playen badly eithier, its just variance.
Left santa b and in Newport now, was playen on goin to the commerce casino but were goin hav to leave it til next week.

Ah yeh normal enuf

Yesterday chiled out for most of the day,but did a quick $2k before I headed out. As predicted when 4 degenerate life washouts goin on the piss its bound to be a messy one. Anyway standard enuf carnage until we got bac to the room. One of the lads got an old chickeroo bac to the room. Obv filling here in that were the online names. So when I got back she was quickly cross checking the stroy. Still reckoning we were "d4 silver spoon kids" living off the old fellas loot, I lashed open the safe and gave here a gud paddling with a stack of $100. Was quickly told by the lads 2 pipe down dads not sending anymore money over for 2 days and that $$$ has to last. Still not buying the story we booted up the lappers. I quickly scoop $1k, still not convinced me and one of the lads chop the action in the 25/50 on stars. Spinning $3k in to $20k,(she fell asleep after we got to $8k). I jumpd in to another game after and ended up scoopin $14k total for the night. Gud lol wiped out my $11k down swing. She wakes up and was enquiring how we did last night. Ah yeh scooped jusy under $25k between us. She like wtf thats what I earn a year(some cork burd workin some down beat accounting traineeship in KPMG or sumtin). Quickly tellin her its only dols and its no biggy. Avoiding to mention that were doin our absloute concers up till now.

Pain in Paridise

Well we took full advantage of the gud wireless yesterday and spent from sun up til sun down in the hotel potting. Thats not one word of a lie we all played for over 10 hours straight. I did my absolute bollix. So much for just trying to grind out my new goal. Quickly goin $9.5k behind. The others all went deep in one stars tourney or another. Chub came 13th in the $100k $50 fo and 8th in the 4500 runner 10er rebuy. He won $2k but could have been oh so much more. Reesy was deep and had a massive stack in the second chance but clashed with another monster and finished in the last 30. Od was deep in the H.OR.S.E but again no cigar. So to heal the depression we orderd half the menu. Double choclate fudge cake and vanilla ice yum yum. Weather savage today so just been pooling it up and goin prob play some tennis and gymage. My cousin informs me Monday night is the night to hit State Street. So I think a mad one is on the cards tonight.

Free from vegas and ballering in Santa B

Left Vegas this morning on the second attempt to get out of Sin City. Think I won $70k there but lost nearly $20k online. Happy enuf with the end result but a small kick in the nuts considering I did $50k back total. Still its July and I am 80% of the way towards my year profit goal.
This happened last year after 4 months, made 80/90% of my profit goal and pissed about for the rest of the year as I lost my focus. So I am setting a new goal for the next 5 months. I am cutting my role and dropping back limits. Dropping back limits is something I do regulary when I feel my game is not at 100%. Its much easier to iron out problems at lower levels.
Me od chub and reesy decided we needed a break after vegas. So we rented this pretty savage hotel in Santa Barbara. Gud lol 1 nite cost more than a whole week in the gold coast.Has the legit tennis courts, pool, gym and obv unreal wireless. You no when your with some pack of creeps, when you walk into a savage hotel room over lookin santa b bay and the first you hear is "great there are 4 sockets right by the table, ideal!!!" . Then someone threw a spanner in works when questioning will it fit all 4 with adapters, treasure hunt back on, in the end we hunt down 12 with 2 in the jacks. Which really is ideal. Our plans are to chill out here for the week. Try regain some of our physical and mental health after a month in vegas. Needless to say wil spend most of the week on the lappers. Then a night out on State Street thursday, head out to I.V on friday and tell every were on a j1 up from San d for the weekend. Should be a gud lol.
We arrived in late so didnt get out till dinner til after 11p.m. Drove down State Street on the way home. The place was banging and OMG, the talent was unreal. Lookin forward to getting tormented on Thursday night.

I want out!!!

I have had enuf of vegas and wil leave 2mor. I played the $1500 satty in bellagio last night and no good but after I just siad to myself I am done with this live poker tourney thing(for a few weeks). Vegas has finally worn me down. It only hit me today when I took a peak at the date that its the 10th of july. I am in Sin City 1 month today bar a 5 day spell in Newport.
I am not sic of poker. Far from it. In fact all I want to do is get out of vegas and play online somewhere. The plans is to kick it somewhere along the californian coast where the climate is milder. Where its possible to leave the shade before 5 p.m.
I leave vegas with fuller pockets than I came in to town with which is not easy to do. I also learned alot about my game and the game in general. I am not as complete a player as I hoped I am. I have been exposed to some some of the best players in the world and have used this trip as a learning expirence as much as anything. Like most things in life but more so in poker most ppl rush to give you there 2 cent's worth. Again like most things alot off ppl dont hav a fucking clue what there on about. However from time to time someone will offer you some advice thats just worth bottling up and keeping. A few occasions on this trip I have gotten that info. I have lived life in the fast lane the last few weeks and the next few weeks and am lookin forward to chillin out.
The above is just a mich mash of taughts. Prob has 3/4 seperate things which I will go thru in the next few days.

koed and carnage

Got nocked out of main event, which coinsided with one of my mates flying in from New York for the weekend for 3 nites. That was thurdays nite and I woke up and Sunday morning. Vegas was hit hard. Chub and od still in main event me and reesy gone. Back to work now till we leave vegas. Goin try grind out some cash action.

Wat a nite!!!

Spun up $10k online then did $11k back. Won $6k playen cash games in the rio. Played 25/50 and got it in with aa for the $12k pot, gettin the nice hold in.
Marty Smyth won the $10k plo event last nite. Unreal achievement by him not only last nite but over the past 18 months. When he got to the final 5 there was about 30 of us railing him. Atmosphere was unreal. Need less to say a massive piss up followed, which obv lead to some degenerate gamblin. All round was an unreal nite.
Ended up havin $5k on a hand of black jack which I won so won a few k on table games. Got the old j8 od diamonds and deallers busts. When the jack of diamonds winked at me I new the dealer was busting.
Main event 2mor. Sure wil c how that goes.
