Well, interesting night...figured i only wanted to play for a little bit, so why not get stuck in a tournament all night? Oh well, worked out well. :) I put a lot of work into this blog entry, so you bastards better read it!
Jumped into the midnight PokerStars $100+$9 tourney. 287 players. I agreed on a 3-way even chop for 1st for $5,414. You shoulda seen the runaround I gave them, haha, I hate chopping and one guy was pretty bad, but the blinds were ridiculously huge and they wouldn't shut up about it (and I was 3rd in chips, but barely). Anyway, I ended up winning when we played it out for leaderboard points (not that I give a shit), stupid deals, cost me $2.5k. I catalogued pretty much the entire tournament below. I pretty much paid no attention during most of the tournament as I was preoccupied with cash game. Didn't even notice I was close to final table until I was moved there! Online tournaments are so no-brainer I find, but good when I just feel like relaxing. My last two final tables in online tourneys I've been oversetted for huge pots and finished 8th in both. Maybe I did so well this time because I probably only missed a rotation's worth of hands from being distracted in cash games, I usually miss more like 30% of them. Oh, and I turned card animation on for the first time in years, was fun seeing cards one at a time in a tourney, made me feel warm and fuzzy...haha....ahhhh....donkaments....
Since I now had some time to kill during the tournament played some $5/$10 on PP. I posted some hands way below (below the tourney hands). As you can see I lost some stupid ones, but still came out $300 to the good which isn't bad considering a couple ugly ones I lost. I just quit while I was still up so i could focus on the final table of the tourney.
Oh, and I also jumped into two $220+$10 HU SNGs on PS and took them both down, but blew a quick $100 on $3/$6 NL against a shortstack fish.
Online cash & SNG (since blog start): +$6,821
Tournaments (since blog start): +$5,183
Penguin Club $10/$25 (since game start in Nov/06): +$23,000
Buttload of hands from tournament and cash game below...you know how hard it is to catalogue this shit while playing 4 cash games (2 of them heads-up) and a tournament? you should have seen all the random crap I typed into the PokerStars window because it grabs your keyboard focus when a hand pops up.

gcDanno said, "huh?"

TOURNAMENT HANDS
--------------------------
this hand is nothing special, but the main point is: look how many chips I had before the
hand...made a little comeback after this...

good ol' no-brainer tournament poker, this gets me back into things...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971468
must of had TT in the tournament at least 6 times. I don't necessarily like the pre-flop call, but
he values me in and whatever, I wanted to hit a T. Right fold on flop I figure, guy is a rock.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971497
i leave to take various sorts of medication, purely medicinal of course, and get back to the
tourney with 4 seconds left in my time bank and this hand. I stubbed my toe jumping over the edge
of the couch...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971522
Haha, all I really did was push all-in, guess that's donkaments for you. These are back-to-back
hands. For the record, I don't really like the first but whatever, and the 2nd I just like the
dialogue afterwards :P

GroovyT said, "yah, screw em"
i put my tournament on the line, but if I'm going to call with that shite preflop, what else am i
hoping to flop? jam it!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971583
nailed it! thought we were getting it in, too bad...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971586
meh, it was gonna happen inevitably, this guy pushed the blinds all the time, i'd call him
everytime here, doesn't work out...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971600
knew this guy would bite...sucker...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971617
woo...if i hit like this in cash game I'd be a fucking millionaire...this is my "I refuse to be
blinded out" move...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971645
i hate this, but once I decide to call the 9k, i gotta call the extra 15k, or maybe i don't,
whatever, i still have chips :)
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971650
standard double-up!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971656
i must have knocked out at least 4 players from my big blind, here's another...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971660
woops...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971676
gah...of course...brutal...wouldn't make a deal with my own mother if this held...

CASH GAME HANDS
----------------------
just try to get him to fold preflop, then look what happens, bullshit....serves me right I guess.....how does 92 ski-doo not hold?!?!? bullshit....
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971460
ew, look at this ugly hand, glad the guy plays it like a pussy. I thought he was about to push
allin on turn, i'm not sure if i call, not a lot of equity without a diamond...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?971463
isn't winning a big pot with a set the best? i don't often check the turn in hands like this,
just felt like the right play this time, turns out it didn't really matter...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971799
What the hell is he calling with on the flop? :)
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971576
yes! i get to screw a shortstack for once! this guy was fucking terrible, so this is a complete
no-brainer...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971587
ah damn it, this guy had such a huge range of 3-betting preflop in late position or blinds, i
could have let go, i had a bad feeling but still went with it, should have folded i guess but
tough spot against aggressive 3-better who would play AJ the same...meh, yah, should have folded
http://www.pokerhand.org/?971611
sigh...

Hey Trav,
I just found this blog today. This is interesting keep it up. DO you like when people comment? If so I would say:
1. H0ly f*ck I say some of the funniest shit on pokerstars when playing 4 tables at a time and in a chatty mood. At the same time get sooooo mad when want to write one sentence and have it in 4 fragments on each screen.
2. 33 hit your set...that will teach you to double raise you sick fuck you know how I feel about those.
3. Nice limp with 1010. Very nice.
4. Good to see you saturday. I will make penguin club one of these days.
Dan
Do I like when people comment? Well, that depends on the comments. I guess yours are acceptable. Permission granted to comment in the future. If you swing by Penguin sometime when I'm playing bring some freakin' luck with you please.
