Poker, Football, and everything sports

So out of nowhere my back starts killing me yesterday...probably a pulled muscle from working out this weekend or something like that. So yea its pretty uncomfrotable, especially when I'm sitting for a long time...which is live poker. Lol oh well hopefully I'll be better by Thursday or Friday. The good part is I'll at least be at home doing work, so I can play alittle online in the meantime. Hope to have a good post by the end. Thanks guys.

Not much in the Online World recently school is keeping me busy. Sadly I won't be palyign the tournament on Thursday because the USC game is that night. However, its only a few day delay because they basically run the same tournament on Sunday that I'll play, and I'll play either the 120 buy in next Thursday or Friday, so look forward to live updates! Thanks for reaing guys.

So my roll has been destroyed recently but I finally was able to get things back on track with a win in a 26 ko for 576 to get it back up to a grand. Dam good feeling and looking like I'm making a pretty sick comeback in a 4k pl tournament. Had 8k when Igot into a hugeeee all in pre flop wtih AA against 99 and QQ, and ended up losign to both! 9 on the turn flush n the river to leave me with about 400 in chips at 100 200 but I've managed to work it back up to 6k at 150 300 so hoping another big cash is coming .Thanks for reading guys!

PS: First live event of the semester comign up in less then a week! 60 dolalr buy in at the bike with a 15k guarenteed prize pool lookin forward to it.

So I played the 750k today and it was bad. I couldn't get anyyy action with my good hands and when I did I lost. I had 2.7k and a shot to get up to 4.1 when I had QQ vs 66 preflop but a 6 comes on the turn. From there, I raise and get no action with QQ, KK, 99,77, and AQ. Then over an hour in, I push with 99 facing a min raise and call, guy insta pushes with KQ awesome play, and flop comes Q 10 10. The way things were going for me I knew I had no chance of winnign that hand, and thats never a good thing to feel lol. Ehh not a great day for poker, pretty annoyed by it now. Oh well thx for reading take it easy guy. FIGHT ON!

So after constant begging from my good friend jeff (and by constant begging I mean one text) I'm gonna play i nteh big one today on FTP. It'll be a 216 dollar buy in that will get around 3600 people with around 500 getting paid. First will get around 132k. I'll post big hands and results whne its done. GL to me!! Oh and I have a 50 buck last longer with Platt (FTP name: mavsusc)

Ok so I just finished a hugeeeeee comeback that I'm really stoked about. So I played a 26 dollar buy in satelitte to the 216 dollar buy in big tournament on FTP. if I win the tournament, I get a seat in their tournament with a 750k guarenteed prize pool that usually pays out about 132k for 1st! So the tournamnet gets 27 people, meaning that the top 3 will get a seat to the big one.

So I got a good stack going at blind levels 40 and 80 when I literally get CRIPPLED. On a board of A682 I get it in with A2 only to face A6. This leaves me with 88 chips, and in the small blind with about 14 people left. It folds to me and I push all in for 8 more chips with the monster J6...the dumbass calls with 10 4!!!(jk obv he's calling) and I doubled with a J on the flop to about 160! The very next hand...KK!!!! I get it all in with 4 callers, and the gods let me hold it one time! I get it up to 600 or so when I c A8 on the next hand. I push and get called by JJ ugh, but hello Ace on the flop!!!

After chipping up a little, I'm sitting at the final table with 2.3k in chips and 6th of 9 left! I win a good size pot with A10 on an A high board that gets me up to 3.5k. Then the biggest hand comes with blinds at 80 160 I rasie to 480 with AK suited. Big stack repops it and I go all in he has AQ and I HOLD!!! (somehow) This puts me at 6k and in 4th with 7 left.

We get down to 4 people left, meaning one more elimination and we get the seats!! I'm sitting on the short stack at 3.5k blinds at 100 200 with everyone else above 8k when I think I'm gonna sneak in! On a board of J 10 2 4 three hearts, two guys get it all in they flip over...J10 both of them. Chop chop ugh. Then I get the big hand 22 in the BB lol two limpers and I c the lovely 10 9 2 rainbow flop. After one guy bets 600 and the other guy calls I push 3k and both call!! Board blanks out (one guy had 10 other 9) and I'm up to 10k and 2nd in chips!!!

After playing 4 handed for about 15 more mins the short stack goes out and I get MY SEAT!!! From 88 chips to a shot at 132k its awesome. I don't think I'll be playing the tournament this sunday, because I have to do work for my broadcast report, plus i'll be too tired/hung over from the game tommorow. USC-OSU is gonna rock. FIGHT ON!!!!

I'll let you guys know when I buy in for the big one! thx for reading.

Been running fairly cool recently and tonight was more of the same. Decided to run the 75 buy in Big Doubles on FTP. Basically they are two tournaments that run at the same time, and they reward players who are able to cash in both by giving them a portion of a building jackpot.

I get knocked out of the first early with a play that was pretty bad on my part. I have about 2k with 77 both reds and I raise to 120 on the button. The SB reraises to 480 and I know for a fact he has an overpair yet for some reason I call. The flop comes out 46K all hearts and he checks to me. I bet the pot 1080 and he thinks for about 5 secs and pushes I have to call and he has AA with A of hearts. I miss out and I'm out we had very similar stacks at the time. Idk my bet is making QQ, JJ, AK, and 10 10 fold but not AA so given the result terrible play lol.

I build a big stack early in the other and am looking good in the other when I get sucked out on real bad. With about 6k in my stack a guy raises to 480 first to act blinds are at 60 120. I repop it to 1k he insta pushes I insta call he has AK. Flop comes K107 with two hearts one of the worst flops I could see because he flops a pair, and runner runner draws. The 10 of hearts in the turn means he's drawing to a heart or K. When the J of hearts comes on the turn I am in shock. I just lost as a 92% favorite. Ugh well I hang around for a while b4 getting knocked out with flopped middle pair vs an overpair.

Pretty frustrated now and school work is kicking in so probably less updates coming but I'll post whenever I play. Thanks for reading guys.

Lol I had a reallllllly long night of poker and there were wayyyyy to many suckouts. I can't remember a night where i've lost so many times while ahead. Fortuantely, I somehow managed to take 7th place in the turbo hundo for 875 bucks so I won my money back and then some and acutally cashed out 400 bucks just to have a memento. Ugh still realllly frusrated lol but I'll be good in the morning. Thanks guys.

Online poker has been more of the same no big scores to speak of mostly been breaking even recently. I'm hoping to get my check by the end of the week or else I'll be starting to get worried that it got lost in the mail.

Some bad timings on a few things. First of all, I qualified for the bronze iron man freeroll on ftp. Its hard to explain so here's a link for it. http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/promotions/ironman. The sad part is the freeroll is on the 13th, which happens to be the BIGGEST DAY in college football for the year, as OSU comes to town to take on the mighty trojans. As a result I will be unable to play for it, but I think that my friend and hopeful blog reader Jeffery Platt (mavsusc on ftp) will be able to take it down for me. Also, I was really getting pumped up for the commerce tournament on sunday, but sadly I'll have to skip it for an atvn sports meeting. Its bad timing, but school is first, and this meeting is always fun so no way I'm missing it. So sadly no lvie poker till october probably but if I put something on my schedule u guys will be the first to hear about it. Ok great thanks for reading guys.
