Out of Steam

Well, It's happening....

I'm losing the passion for poker that I had for almost the past 3 years. Where has it gone? Why has it gone? I have some idea why, but where, I have no idea. To be honest, I am mad that it is gone, that I no longer am excited to play, or want to play an Mtt so bad......It's a horrible feeling....the only motivation I have right now is Cardschat and the great friends that I do not want to lose if I stop playing(there's always FR's though ;) )
Anyways I really think that since I've been doing like, insanely well in school, and putting a lot of hours into my work.....that I have traded the passion I have for poker for the passion I have for design....like right now I have a project where I am designing a whole cd case front to back and everything, and I am so into it...like I was with poker and playing. But I fell like I want to do both?!
The thing is I do better in school if I don't play.....which then leads me to say that I will will play when school's over right? Wrong! When I get out, almost immediately I will be working at a job or internship, so even more work is in hand. I mean I know others have jobs and play, for example, my good friend Icemonkey...he juggles both, and I've seen his work.....top notch, but me I need to focus on one thing I guess....maybe it's just me learning to multi task better to enjoy what I love.
But it's not even that, seriously, when I have free time at night, I don't even feel like opening up PokerStars and playing, it's the weirdest feeling, because 2 weeks ago I would have been running to the computer....ugh

So basically what I am getting at is that I doubt I will be blogging anymore at all, or for a very long time. The main reason for my problem above, and another for the lack of interest in my boring blog in the first place :p...guess I should advertise it more on CC? lol!
Well to all my readers gl, and sry....I still be at CC though :)

First KC Blog Rant/Vent

Ok, well for some reason everytime I try to play at Full Tilt poker, I have been havving the worst luck. Meaning I go in ahead and with the best hand and get sucked out on. I don't have the HH's and tbh I'm tired and lazy right now, so here is some sloppy HH's...


1. Quaded
Hero: AK
Villian: AJ

AIPF/Board: AAJJJ

So that one was pretty rough and was also about 2 hands into a big mtt, so it was really heart breaking.

2. Set? Not for me!

Hero: 33
Villian:22

AIPF/Board: 10 2 K J 4

Basically 2 outers suck

3. HU blahhh

Hero: 5h7h
Villian: Ah4c

PF: Both limped
Flop: 3h 10h 2c(both check)
Turn: Kh(Villian bets pot I rereaise, he reraises allin I call)
River: 8h

So pretty much, even though I know Full Tilt is not rigged, the site seriously hates me ever since I've been mainly playing at Poker Stars...lol

so ijhrkj949u49jekhjire9*&(_(_!_&(&*(^*(^&*$#_*^^*%$&%85hpoiugjng

there is my yelling and ranting for the night!

Another Slow Down

Well, I plan on not playing poker so much as I have been these last few weeks. Mainly because I have no BR(cashed out all of it), but also just to slow down from playing so much and focus on some other things. The thing is, I like these breaks I take because for some reason they help so much when I come back. I think I might do this from now on, as a ritual, or a reset button to help me continue my grind. Not to mention I just got a new car and have a baby on the way...I could have kept a lot of money on and could potentially have won more, but I'd rather take the money and know I have it...

LOL SRY

I wasn't feeling too good, and right now, although I am doing better in poker I just feel like I could do better.....i think i even wrote something but I don't know what happened....rest assured I'm not going anywhere, at least I know you guys are reading ;)

Bye

August Goals

Well after seeing Icemonkey's goals for July, I was inspired to make some for August. So here they are....

1. Sattelite into the Sunday Million(I always get so close, HU actually and lose)

2. Win a SNG or MTT with more than 45 ppl. Amazing as it sounds I have never won a SNG that had more than 45 people it, so I need one, not for the money, but for me.

3. Make Silver status again.

4. Save all fpp's, no spending. I wanna save up for something nice.

Well only 4 for now but I like a low amount of goals. Easier to make :D

KC is Back!

Well I was hoping for a lot more but what can I say $64.80/hour is not bad at all...

I was chip leader going into the final table, and at the beginning of the final table I was on the rush of a lifetime.....wish i would have spread it ou till the end(4th was a $110 jump :( )
I pretty much didn't catch hands after a while and the blinds engulfed my stack. I had awesome railers, as usual, GG KC

PS 10$ HU Loves me

Well I have been doing this weird strategy lately, but not with my poker game, but a BR strategy....I know sounds crazy but it has been working!

I am around 200$ right now since cashing out some yesterday, so lately what I have been doing, is if I see an MTT or SNG I wanna play, then I play a HU match to cover it....and lately its been looking like this...



A lot of First hand wins or 3rd hand wins, some don't even last 10 hands and I've won!

I don't know if this strategy is fool proof for my BR since usually the HU are out of my brm specs, but we'll see what happens, I guess this is a trial tester than.

Cheers to My New BR

Well I have been running exceptionally well ever since I deposited. From winning the Thursday night CC event, then winning another 45 man 5$ with Inscore placing 2nd, then winning a 5$ 18 man for 36$....it just seems like a little rush for now, but I'm ready for a bad streak ;)

Anyways not too much to talk about...Oh yeah I almost ran deep deep in an mtt but got 41/1361...it was a 3$ and I made about 9$ profit...not bad but 1st was in my path....anyways I'll end this post with my new gradually better looking SS, I plan on posting some goals that Icemonkey inspired me to do also next post.
