Poker and Football

I haven't played much poker at all since my last update. I have played one MTT session and it was last Tuesday night. I didn't get anything going really except for getting a big stack in the 22 rebuy on Stars. We got down to 25 players and I lost QQ vs KQ allin preflop, AJ vs AT all in preflop, and than I ran KK into AA to bust out 17th or 18th. I've been playing sit n go's here and there and doing pretty decent. I'd say I'll continue to play more sit n go's then MTT's within the next few weeks or so. I have the World Series of Poker Circuit in Indiana coming up October 2nd so I'm trying to prepare for that. Once again I've set lofty goals for it. I always like to set my expectations high for myself as I know I can attain my goals as long as I stay focused and run average. Thats about all I have to say about the poker front.

How bout dem Irish? They are 2-0 now after taking down Michigan on Saturday. They have a tough test this Saturday on the road vs Michigan St. The Irish are getting 9 points this Saturday. I think this is way too many points. I'm trying to be unbiased in my thought process on this one and I just don't see how Michigan St. could be favored by 9 here. After posting this, I'm sure Notre Dame will get crushed, ha. Golden Tate has been a stud so far this year, he is just a sophmore who was impressive at the end of last year. I really feel in 2 years, which is Claussens senior year, they will be contending for the National Championship. They have so much young talent and I think they'll put the pieces together by than. Also, USC dominated Ohio St. in a big win this weekend. If I'm Pete Carroll I'm not sure if I could look myself in the mirror in the morning. Funny how one of his players gets arrested with a felony the weekend before but recieves no punishment. Well played there Petey boy. I hope karma catches up to you in the worst way. Your program is so dirty I can smell it here in Indiana. I'm just waiting for you to choke sometime in this season because it will happen. How you blew that national championship vs Texas I'll never know. I loved every second of it. Well I guess I need to simmer down for a moment as that is all I got to say on that subject. I'm going to play golf at French Lick next Monday with a bunch of other guys. This could be the last time I play this year. That is all I got, I'll talk at ya later.

Sunday Sunday

I decided to play Sunday and play all the majors and 530 WCOOP(World Championship of Online Poker). I wish I wouldn't of played after dropping around $1800 on the day. I went semi deep in the Tilt Mulligan but lost a big flip with around 180 left. I only played around 8 tournaments on the day as I was trying to keep a close eye on football. I was pretty disappointed in the Colts performance. I took yesterday off as I had planned to play all day but didn't get much sleep from the night before so I took it off and watched Monday Night Football. I am going to play tonight though and hope I can get a good score. I doubt I play the rest of the week though as I'm going to go watch Journey tomorrow night and than I have golf league on Thursday. I'm most likely not going to play any all weekend as I plan to watch football non stop. I'm pretty excited about the Notre Dame/Michigan game and USC/Ohio St game. I'll have an update from tonight's session either tonight or tomorrow. I'll talk at ya later.

Online from last night

I decided to play last night and it went pretty awful until the 27.50 turbo on Stars. I ended up getting 4th for $1265 and ran awful in that late. That was my only cash of the night and I profited around $450. I probably won't play again until Sunday. I plan on going over to mattster's house and watching NFL on his 5 TV setup and playing all day. My birthday is tommorow, I'm going to be turning 25. When I was in high school and you told me I would be playing poker for a living when I was 25 I would of probably told you were the dumbest person on Earth. There is 4 or 5 of us going out tommorow to celebrate and it should be a good time. I have a few shoutouts I'd like to make today before I log off. First, Congrats to Mattster for getting engaged to Lindsay Clem. Also, Congrats to Stephen "gtfobish" Crawford for getting his biggest online score ever of $2500 in the Daily Double A last night on Full Tilt. The kid has been crushing here lately. Well that about sums it up, I'll probably post on Monday at the latest.

Denny Crum Main Event and Online Win

I decided to play in the Denny Crum Main Event yesterday and wish I hadn't of now. It was a 1900+86 buyin and it only got 54 players with it being 32k to win. I chipped up a bit early and ended up playing a hand bad and getting in with 97 on 862 flop vs KK and couldn't get there and it knocked me down to around 4k at 100-200. I limped 75dd from the sb after a limper. The flop came JT3 with 2 diamonds. I check called a bet of 400. The turn was a J and it went check check. River brought the 6 diamonds and I shoved and guy snapped with J8dd to have me outflushed. That bout sums up that circuit. I had no intentions of playing today and got the idea from Angie. I'm glad she talked me into playing as I won the 70k on pokerstars for 14.1k. That is my biggest online score of the year. I ran insanely good deep in this winning 3 flips at the final table. Also, I think this is the first tournament I've never been 2 or 3 outed in that I had won. I won a 3 way allin on the last hand when I had a 3-1 chiplead going into this hand. I picked up JJ on the button and the sb shipped and the bb called who had equal stacks and I snapped. They had 88 and AQ, the flop brought a J to basically leave them dead and another J on the river to win in style. This was a big win for me and finally got another 5 figure score. I plan on playing either later tonight or Tuesday night. I'll talk ya later.
