Ok going back to the first entry I made there were a couple things I wanted to clarify because after reading over it I realized some things were out of place or just didnt make complete sense.

First thing is that when I drink more than I should I will gamble more money than I know I should ($1000 on blackjack, roulette, etc…) So part of me being broke was the fact that 3 or 4 times at the casino pretty much wiped me out. I would grind it at 1/2 or 2/5 downstairs at the Woods for 4-8 hours make a profit of anywhere from $500-1500 then go upstairs and lose it in five or ten minutes. I know I know it is so easy to say you are a fuckin moron why would anyone ever give the house money because that is essentially what you are doing. I do not enjoy playing table games…unless it is for small stakes which it never ends up staying small for long when I play….I am only playing them for a quick chance to double up which rarely happens especially when i put shitloads of money down. So basically I cause myself great amounts of stress when I lose at these games. The good news is that I have promised myself I will not step foot in the pit and I have yet to place a bet….its something that was not a problem at first but once i had a cold run of cards I thought it would be a quick fix…which it wasnt. It is easy to stay away when you are playing good Poker….but when you arent that is when I have to resist the urge for a quick double up.

Ok that was long but you get the idea. I have shown a steady profit playing live cash games and I know that I can continue to win when I stay focused and not drink/smoke too much.

The tourny that I won online was for nearly 20k (Stars sn = Du1chmaster www.offficialpokerrankings.com). That was on February 8th. Previous to that I had no money to my name, with a credit card that was over its limit and I was 3 weeks late on my rent as well as every other bill….i was in debt more than i will say….pretty bad. So i borrow $100 from a friend on thursday….put it online with the intent of playing the Sunday Million..grind it up to 300 by Sunday but didnt want to buy in directly even with enough so being an idiot I sat down at a $1/2 NL Heads Up cash game and take $115 from the guy at first so he reloads now i have $315 to his $200….we go back and forth for a little….he probably gets back up to where we both have nearly even stacks I had a slight edge and we get it all in preflop. I had KK and he had been raising nearly every hand so I thought I was good….turns out he has AA i hit a K on the river for the $516 pot and BOOM my luck changes. Later in the afternoon I decide the sunday million field is way too large, so i try my luck in the $50+5 25k Guaranteed with 2200 people i get down to heads up and i took a chip chop with the lead. Not bad for someone who couldnt even afford lunch earlier in the day.

Anyway I am not sure the point i guess that is kind of a brag post but it isnt meant to be. It is meant to give hope to all degenerate gamblers out there, anyone still searching for the chance to be a big winner. I hope that one day I can play some of the biggest cash games in the world, but until then $2/5 is good with me.
