Predator314's Poker Journal

Whoa! I need to step back and re-evaluate my situation. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't on tilt right now. This is getting bad...again. Same old song, same old dance. You'd think I'd be used to it right now.

First things first: Did I not receive the memo that said that if you cap the turn with your gut shot straight draw, you will be guaranteed to catch on the river? Seems like I missed that one.

I'm not going to sit here and bitch about bad beats. I've taken a pounding the past 3 days now and my bankroll is really hurting. I've seen some of the worst plays make these donks look like fucking Phil Ivey.

I've lost over 200BBs the past 2 days. I've missed almost every flop. The ones I do hit, are hit even better by my opponents. I've never been check raised so many damn times in my life. I'm lost.

My favorite metrosexual, Daniel Negreanu said something along the lines of "When I'm running good, I feel like I'm on top of the world. When I'm running bad, sometimes I question whether I know how to play this game".

It's not all bad beats, but I'll tell you this right now. If there were only the first 4 community cards, I wouldn't be typing this bitch post up right now.

Sleep is overrated. Last night was the first time in a LONG time that I got over 8 hours of solid sleep. I'm talking at least 5 years. I played some poker during the afternoon. Enough to lose about 90 big bets.

I'm in the midst of another downswing. It's amazing why we play such a stupid game. We treat this game like royalty, we idolize it. What does it do? It spits in our face. Not really. Just the past 2 days. Poker is an emotional roller coaster that not many people can handle. That's why you see so many cry babies complain about suckouts in the chat window.

I'm at the bottom right now and I'm not worried. I've seen some of the worst play ever the past 2 days. All these people on 2+2 are worried about the fish drying up. Evidently they are playing on my tables. D-O-N-K-F-E-S-T 2005.

Man, am I tired. I've spent the past two days moving furniture, books, dvds, cds, guitars, playstations, xboxes, etc. I've been moving constantly. When I'm not moving, I'm thinking about moving. The bad part is that it doesn't seem like I've put a dent in anything. How can one human being acquire so much useless junk?

Things have not been going all that great in the poker world. I did quite a few hands played on Saturday and Yesterday. However, they were disasters. I also got in the $1000 guaranteed on Empire which was a rebuy event and had a lot bigger prize pool than $1000. About 12:15am this morning, I was down to the last 30 with an above average chipstack. My internet died. Bad Beat! I got in the money, I just don't know how far I got. It's killing me too.

I've almost got the Pokerstars bonus cleared. I should have it done during my lunchtime session today. This will be yet another bonus that I've cleared and lost money while doing so. Poker Stars hates me.

One thing I noticed last night while playing in the tournament was how bad I hated tournaments. They are slow and very boring. This is where I think live play is better. Sure the tournaments are longer and more drawn out during the live play, but there is human interaction. That makes the time pass by a whole lot quicker.

I have bowling league tonight. I'll probably also take a truck-load of clothes or something by the new home after bowling too. My goal is to be living in that sum beech before the end of the week.

All my utilities are ready to go. I got the water and electricity transferred over to my name. I called the cable company to order my cable and internet. They told me that a field engineer would have to examine the area to make sure I can get cable. I told them the neighborhood and there were 100 others up there with cable. They didn't care. It will be 3 or 4 days before they tell me they can get cable. Comcast is gay.
