Last days was a real rollercoaster. I am constantly beated after money's in ahead [and I am not talking about coinflips here] and some swing been as big as one third of whole bankroll. I will not bother you with all the hand histories here, so instead I'll post candy from my current desktop for Your viewing plesure [it's been a while].
I warned You. And this is not a video of my dearest metal music. This is about my other love.
August in 50 frames per second from Dave King on Vimeo.
As the first thing, I want to say:
KILL ALL HUMANS!!!
I guess you understand, that my day wasn't pretty in the sense of poker. I did nice reads all the way and got sucked out non-stop. Just a couple examples:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1921283
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1921301
Pretty bad day - 3 buyins down in 1111 hands. It sucks. I try to remember, that it just happens and I will get my monies back in the long run, but sometimes it gets to you.
And now, after real poker content it's time for bonus - one of the hottest girls I've seen in years: that's why today here's two photos.
That would be Poker After Dark Season Three, of course.
Unimportant thing first: I guess this is the first time, when an actual qualifier can sit at that table and, best of all, choose players to play against. The first lamb choose Negreanu, Matusow, Harman, Scotty and Hellmuthhhhhh. As some already said: "nightmare s'n'g". Could be. Moneywise. But, if I would be in his place, I would pick similar lineup, cause I would not go there for money, but for company.
OK, now for an important news: PAD have new hostess - Marianela Pereyra. Just can't understand those guys, who are putting her down - gorgeous girl! Click on pic to get a better view.
As for poker - 1K hands in session (4tabling) is the goal I'm following right now.
Well, putted books a little aside for a couple of days and started playing. So far - nothing fancy. Breaking even after massively overplaying AK couple [or more] times. At least now I don't do that with AJ. UTG and UTG+1 are the spots, where I fold them without any hesitation. A-N-Y hesitation! Enough for now. Merry Christmas and don't forget to setmine!
Well, yeah, still with no bankroll. So, no playing whatsoever either. Still reading Theory Of Poker and becoming advanced in seven card stud [whadayaknow!].
Just for an update decided to show you some photos of my learning place / sweet shelf of books / my best achievement being BR-less and, of course, beautiful girl in the end [that stomack...].
Yeah... First thing is, that I am too good as a person. Nobody want to pay in time for freelance jobs you've done. So I needed to withdraw almost anything I had on my FTP account [good thing is, that deposits are processed within seconds, but withdrawals take at least ten days - what a joy!]. The rest from the account I managed to tilt away, sooo.... zero-zero-zero. Seconds thing - Christmas. Thanks to all commercialization, I must find fund to presents, and that's not helping overall situation either.
Let's start to learn! Finally...
But there are plus signs, too. Got the whole library in [about my Amazon purchase You can read here]. First book I read was about Stu Ungar - just wanted something easy at the time. And that book IS easy. Not as deep as I imagined. But the good thing is, that you just storm through pages - not stumble against every second sentence. Anyways, now I am in the middle of Theory Of Poker. Man, that's a bitch! I even had a temptation to drop that book, but, I guess, I am not that ungutsy, so I promised myself to go through it. With clear mind, not just because... After that... I don't know - Gordon books or Harrington books. We'll see.
And my old friend Adil showed up - he's now a prospering coach at GrindersSchool. I think I will join them, too. When I got some extra bucks to spend. [I am waiting for a discount for this reference, hah!]
Ok. And to brighten things even more up, here's one of the most georgeous women I've seen lately [except my girlfriend, of course].
Sometimes there's just not enough time. Or chance. Sometimes you get home late and tired and all you can think about is laying in the sofa and watch TV - no sex, no beer, no cards, no-no-no. And then there are other times, when you want to play but world around seems to be against it - someone comes, someone goes, it's the end of the working week...
Fortunately, I will have my books [already got Rolf Slotboom's book in] by tomorrow, so, even if I can't be online playing done, I will have my share of education. But all that beer... Yesterday some friends came over to congratulate my girlfriend with her birthday. Today is an actual date of her birthday - more friends, more beer. Tomorrow I will go to my friend's metal band's concert - more beer. Friday is always drinking night - even more beer. On saturday we visit girlfriends father for his birthday - again - some beer. What the hell!?!?
Why do I write this all this shit? Cause I need a brake. So I ramble some meaningless words and browse few girls [from Maxim, Bodog, WCP] for my dearest reader.
Guess, how much poker books I have now?
None.
Guess, how much books I ordered yesterday from Amazon?

Recently there wasn't much posts with "candy" label on then. so I decided to post here a poster, I am going to buy sometime. It's the artwork of Lorenzo Sperlonga.
Recently Cardrunners webpage brought to us Townsend's interview with Doyle Brunson. As promising the beginning of the interview was, the worst was the rest. Except the fact that Doyle went broke hundred times, we don't hear nothing new [maybe even that isn't something new]. Nothing. And, really, there isn't any difference, are those questions asked by a poker pro or some wacko chick with long legs and stupid smile. And the end of that piece slaps you in the face with a feeling, that even a sentence isn't finished. Of course, I am the bastard, who can only shit on others and can't come up with decent post himself, but nevertheless - I have some journalist experience on my on and maybe deserve some credit. Maybe not. I don't care.
Here you can learn about player Brunson fears the most. It's Chip Reese, who last year won nearly 1.8M at the WSOP H.O.R.S.E. event or something like that.
Oh, and yes - yesterday's evening session was bad. That curious dumb kid, we call "calling station", took over me and I payed off pretty much. POW - Payoff Wizard - that was my yesterday's name. So I took some hand histories to work today - to analyze them in some quiet time. Maybe even to post some on the forums.
Candy from MAXIM:
Well, I guess I can't not to mention that all bs around super-user account cheating at Absolute Poker. Recently we got to here even more news with actual names in them. The name of AG Green seems the loudest at the moment - over that guys head will soon be the sword of justice. Well, we at least want to believe that.
Point-Spreads gives as the insight of all this case and Gambling 911 mentions even more detail. It looks like the fraud involves not 700K, like previously reported, but cool 7M. These monies were cheated off in a spam of three years... Someone no really feels like being on the edge.
But it's very positive, when you, when feeling drunk, can move down the stakes and don't hate yourself in the mourning in the sense of lost money.
And even more joyful is when at your table sits another steaming drunktard with 80 VP$IP. Weeee!!!! Of course, you play only because of him. And, of course, you are up two buyins or so. And then, OF COURSE, that asshole decides to quit and you find yourself against 9% nits. You can't stop playing loose and lose everything and quit minus one BI. That's life.
Since I was bad and didn't post nothing in "candy" section lately - enjoy another beaute below. Unlike previous time - now here's actual celebrity - Eva Mendez. Hotttt. Here's more of her.
No. Don't get me wrong - WBCOOP ain't a bitch. Not me, either. Noone is a bitch. I just sometimes want to say that word. With expression.
So - WBCOOP. Went out just before second brake. 6xx-something. Damn! Even after ten hours I can't figure out, did I played wrong or not. As always, I kept myself in the middle of the pack waiti9ng for the moment, where half of people tend to be nervous. It comes about time, where blinds climb up to 200 or 300. Average stacks start to worry. They see "Wow, I am squeezed between stacks three times larger than me!" and start to make moves. At this time we don't need to make moves ourselves - just respond to other tries to steal chips.
...and it all happened.
Till my stupid mind decides to raise 2000 [300/600] in CO with AJ sooooted. Ok - it's not THAT bad move. It's standard. But then lose bigstack button reraises me to 5000. If I call - I have 6789.12 left. I call. Cause, you know - HE'S SOOO LOOOOOSE! Board comes Q high. I realize, that if I check, he will definetly put me all-in. So I push. That bastard calls with JJ and, with no help in turn and river, I am out.
And won the guy, who's blog I can't even read! Come on - what's up with that!!??!
That's why we all look at candy below and try to go on our lives.
Yeah. For me that tournament starts at 22:00. On Sunday! Before Monday! Not good.
If I manage to go deep [and I want to - 40K is good prize pool] - I will need serious doping. At this moment shopping list is as follows:
- 3 cans of Red Bull;
- 2l Fanta [can't drink Coke because of all that brandy+coke in my life];
- pack of smokes.
Poker - health friendly sport indeed!
Recently [today and yesterday] having much fun reading blogs, bloggies and 2+2.
Of course we will start with one of the silliest things - StB in his blog mentioned about some news about the men, who sat at some slot machine and realized, that woman, who had played previously, peed all over the seat. Ain't it nice?! As a news for me came the thing, that there really are such addictive people, who can't go to toilet just because of that huge urge to gamble. My God!
Then I looked at a very good screen at S'n'G... sorry, MTT Machine blog - Chad shows us how he plays. 30" display ain't bad.
One more interesting thing - how many 30" inch displays will buy Daniel Negreanu, after he earns another biiig chunk of monies by selling two to three minutes long clips through mobile entertainment provider? That guy don't waste any time and hits the iron while it's hot. Indeed.
Like the long reading? Haley's Poker Bl-Auggh got it for ya! Weird and about... something.
Oh! And 2+2 goes crazy lately! Mostly I read NL/PL Full Ring section and I just can't remember, it was so interesting as now. Too many to mention, but I feel I definetly must move up the stakes...
Apart from poker - it seems that almost all american men loves Lindsey Lohan. Just can't understand that. Is she cute? Really? Let not have her here. Poker Disasters better votes for Jaime.
About that question in previous post - it's total bullshit. Player with pocketpair will win 65% of the time, but OESD will see victory 35% of the time. Mystery solved.
Guess so. Bill Rini in his blog published his latest Q&A with Tom Grant - the man, who accused Phil Laak in various crimes, including hiring the hitman for murder. No updates on this matter whatsoever - just short response, that all matters have been settled and Unabomber can walk free again. End of story. Shame.
More on poker: does really player with high pocket pair is 1:3 underdog to an open ended straight draw when there are two more cards to come? Must look it up - pretty interesting. [Oh my God - I am interested in odds and numbers! Help!]
Talking about help - this guy really needs help. Just hilarious video [again, thanks to Rini's post].
And just look at those legs:
If you read my previous post, then it's obvious - I didn't had much time to run through my FeedReader.
Most interesting thing happened I guess concerns Bill Rini's post about Phil Laak's past back in Thailand - drugs, hired killers and accidents. Bill goes through these gossip-like stories
pretty objectively and post is interesting to read. There's a link to some 2+2 thread, which I found pretty interesting, too [didn't read all thing though, so...]. And all these things lead to one site, which no states the following:
