Well so much for a. sleeping and b. not depositing until i came back from ac. It's 6:35 am in the morning and i cant sleep at all. What else is there to do but play some poker at pokerstars? I just deposited $200. I'm going to try something different. I'm mainly going to play cash games. Grind it out and get the most out of my hands. Time to grind it out.

I dont really want to go in depth with the hand while im playing the tournament, but by the time I was able to break that all up, he went from about T6400 in chips to T1770. He's calling absolutely everything. I earned back the chips i lost to him on that hand and im back at T3010. I should have just flopped a set but UTG made it 250 to go with blinds at 25/50, and got 2 callers, so in the big blind i folded the 9s. The flop came 3 8 9.

Yesterday i found a site that has a group buy that makes exact replicas of the World Series of Poker chips. I got excited immediately. These things are unreal. What is even more unreal is the price that they are going for. A 300 piece set is going for a staggering .95 cents a friggin chip. Are we joking?!?! Here is a couple pictures courtesy of chiptalk.net.

Well thats it i just busted in the last tournament that i had money for. I have .04 cents left in my account. I'm going to try and wait to deposit till after i come back in AC next week. But who knows if thats going to happen. That's all for now

We played some home game poker last night. Had a total of 14 people, so we went 7 and 7 and played down to 4 on each table. i was chip leader pretty much the entire time i was at my first table. I didnt get many hands but when i did i was getting paid off with the maximum. I elminated barry when i hit a set of 5's on the river to beat his flopped pair of aces. I thought he was weak because he kept betting the minimum so i kept calling. He was giving me pot odds all the way through and it wasnt a big part of my stack at all. Robles and another lady were gone and we we're then down to our final 4 on the table. I had about 2.5-3 to 1 in chips then when we started.

It wasnt long before we were at the final table, where i also was the chip leader. Within the first 3 hands 2 more people were gone, which brought the number of people down to 6. The next person out was Nick. Jimmy got a hold of his chips. Then i eliminated Tom when he committed all his chips pre flop with A3 and i woke up with AJ in the bb. I then eliminated Jimmy when my Kings beat his AK. Then occured one the funniest hands i have ever seen. There was absolutely no action in the hand everyone had checked all the way through. Now on the turn the kid turned away and looked at the felt. There was 2 diamonds on the board so i pretty much thought he was on the flush draw. Well the diamond fell on the river. He checked it, knowing that he had the flush i checked as well, and there was a check behind me. So he rips off his sun glasses(yes he was wearing them marcel luske style, backwards, and yelled i hate u guys), he had made a straight flush. He couldnt have misplayed the hand any worse.

Then we got to heads up. This is when the cards totally went to shit, well for me atleast. Dude got AK and AA back to back and i obviously had folded in the action. When i would throw a big raise out there, he would call and see a flop. Immediately when the flop came he would go all in. This is such a pussy move, but hey he won so i wont question it. Eventually i threw out a raise like usual, he called, flop came, i was open ended so i pushed and yea of course, he flopped a boat. Game over. I had fun and tripled my money but the cards just werent in my favor. I'm going to play on stars today and hopefully win some money. Plus we got 2 games on to decide the final 4. That's it for now

Well im just in the beginning stages of creating this. As of now i've been running cold as can be on stars. I'm just not getting the cards that i need. When i have 16 outs you would expect to hit one of them, but not for me. I have a limited bankroll and most likely i'm going to redeposit and go by some strict guidelines and get back to some real grind it out poker. Hopefully when i have aces, i wont be getting called by 92 and the guy flops 9 2 2 anymore.

That is the main reason i want to start this. I want to have something that is going to mold me back into the profitable player that i used to be. I can't remember the last time i won a mtt tourney. It's been almost 2-3 months i think. The new $4 mtt's on stars are very awesome. I've been having trouble cashing though. I'm always right on the bubble. I've had finishes of 21st, 24th, 26th, and 39th. I definitely have leaks in my game that will reflect this performance in which i hope to address on the CP forums.
