• Nightly Hundo Grand

  Agosto 28, 2009

  Just shipped the NHG on stars for 20k. Final table was pretty weird as first in chips had like 1.5x avg and last had more than half.. so really anyones game. Lost QQ to AJ with 8 or 9 left and was in last then like 3 hands later I had a decent chiplead after fading AJ w 22 then QQ v 66. I then got AA/QQ/JJ and got action on all of them (ya I know, nice to be me) including AA vs the buttons KK. DFish gave me a pretty big sweat w QT vs my ATs AIPF, he flopped a Q and I backdoored a flush and he busted 6th. From there, busted a bunch of ppl and got hu with over 3 to 1 lead I believe. He won won allin AK v A2 and we were gettin close but I won a race for most of the chips AQ v TT gg. Hadn't eaten much all and was hungry and bored/looking to celebrate so went to 7-11 and ordered and ate assorted food like a homeless man who just jacked someone for 20$ instead of someone who just won 20k (prob look homeless too). So ya, nice life me + have enough money to lose @ WCOOPs hurrah.

  Steaming out my ears right now so I figured I'd blog about it. Last night I got an email from Pokerstars requesting I send in some photos of ID/Bills etc in response to a large transfer. Annoying but ok no biggie.. go to bed late last night after regging for the 2pm FTOPs which was PLO HU. I wake up at 1:59 and open FTP which needs to udpate. Somehow this is a giant update and takes me like 15 minutes and I blind off like 5 or 600 chips.. but end up winning my first match. I go downstairs to use my roommates camera/laptop for Stars BS, while there I update FTP and watch to see when the first round of HU matches are done. I get all that done.. go upstairs to my cpu and win another match. During the 3rd match my internet on my cpu cuts out briefly and I try to login from my laptop and of course theres a giant update. I book downstairs and try to login my roommates cpu (which I only did because I was down there earlier and updated the software) and get a message that says something like "You cannot login, please contact loginsupport@fulltiltpoker".. I then proceed to get that same msg trying to login on any cpu. I email urgently.. but of course I get blinded out quickly and still havent gotten a response. Looks like as I was typing this my account got unlocked but still no email. I assume this has something to do with one of my friends requested a self ban after drunken sessions where he lost it all or something.. but unsure. There really should be some kind of system in place that doesn't lock out a long standing customer deep IN THE MIDDLE of a headsup tourney.. I mean cmon.. I'll update later to see how they handle it.
  In less infuriating news.. I came 2nd in the ub 215 on sunday after coming 6th a week or 2 before that. Also had another final table in the sniper on there one night. Was playing a ton on FTP before this happened.. had one day that started off pretty promising, was deep in a lot of stuff but only managed a 7th in the 163 with no other final tables. My birthdays Saturday and I'm headed to the beach for the weeekend but will be back in time for Sunday Mil/later FTOPs.

• The Weekend

  Agosto 02, 2009

  Busy weekend for me as I left the house more than once in one day. Went to see "Funny People" Saturday afternoon. I found it fairly hilarious, with a decent enough story, great supporting characters and solid acting by Sandler surprisingly. A big group of us went to the Paul McCartney concert at FedEx field Saturday night which was pretty fun. The end when he sung Hey Jude, Live and let Die, Let it be.. was insane obv. Sunday tourneys were going pretty terrible early, but managed a 6th in the big UB 200k guar for 9k. Had a cash for like 5k early in the week on there too in the 215 sniper. FTOPs this week I think .. wish me gl.
