Story, Jaded, Poker

James told me a story today, I remember it nearly verbatim. Warning: the following content is somewhat graphic, yet still hilarious. "Donnie penetrated Wallingford's dog. He took her outside to meet Don and he said it wasn't even 10 seconds. There was no sniffing. Don saw his dog and popped out a piece of bubblegum. Then he just mounted up. He shouldn't be getting red rockets anymore, he doesn't have any nuts. He shouldn't want to hump things. So I don't think Wallingford will bring his dog over anymore."

The more that I've thought about my poker losses the other day, the more it bothers me. Well, it sort of does. I'm bothered by the fact that I'm not bothered. I lost $100 in like 15 minutes, 20 tops. I wasn't even mad. I was like "Whoops, lost all my money. Hey Matt, do you want to go get food?" It should have bothered me, but it didn't. I'm still bothered if I lose money that I really need. I've never taken rent money to the casino or put it online, so I'm good there, but I've definitely blown every free cent I've had a time or two. I imagine things will change when I start going to work every day and begin my life as a big boy.

Despite the $100 loss, I'm back to $860. I won a $2 NLHE MTT today that had around 30 people in it for just under $30. I also ended up 3-2 in $50 matches. I played too weak-tight in the first one, won the second, got coolered in the 3rd, and won the fourth and fifth pretty handily. In the third match, I think the worst hand my opponent showed down was 3 of a kind. If there was any possible straight on the board he had it, and he made several monsters when I had big hands. Flush vs my straight and so on. It's going to happen, it's just frustrating when it does. I sat on the list for another one for over 2 hours and nobody joined, so I played some $.50/$1 limit HOE for awhile. I rode the rollercoaster and ended up winning like $17. On September 7th there is a $15,000 loyalty freeroll on Bugsy's with first place paying $3,900. It will pay through 40 spots, and even the last money spot gets $90. Unfortunately, it is a rebuy like the majority of Bugsy's tourneys, and it has a bad structure. It is 500 points for an entry and a rebuy for each additional 500, capped at 9 rebuys. I'm trying to hit 2 rebuys for the tourney, as I think that should be enough to give me a good shot at winning, but it will be hard to get it in before the 7th. Each $50 match only earns me 12.5 points, so I would need to play like 44 more to reach my goal. If I want more rebuys, I need to start playing some small cash games, even though I don't really want to. Tomorrow I hope to get to $1,000 for the first time in way too long. Once I hit $1,200, I'm going to take another $100 to Full Tilt and bump up to $100 matches. Hopefully we'll see me on TV in like 2 years. That, or I'll do something stupid in like 2 months and blow it all again.
