No poker this time

Not even a small one.

Here you can find prettty good gallery from WRC stage in sweden.

And here is my dream car. [sort of. along with another two - Subaru Impreza and big van, I don't manufacturer of].

Have a good week!

Even in perfect played hand you loose money.

I will not cry over bad beat or anything. Yesterday played a lot of poker. Lost two big hands [really really big].

1. I was pretty agressive at my table and lately had shown too much agression with just top pair - showed cards after everybody folded. I showed those only 'couse everybody else played TPNK like those were the nuts. Now I see KQp under the gun and limp. And rock to my left limps, too. As well as SB and BB. Flop comes Kxx, no flush or straight whatsoever. As my rocky neighbour limped, I am sure, he have something like I do. KQs, KJs, KT. Well, as I've been very agressive lately and know, that he definetly noticed this, I decide to trap him in some sort of way. Blinds check, I check, he, as suspected, bets 10BB. Blinds fold, I, after "thought", call. Another rag on the turn. He bets 20BB. I am SURE, he have K and, in the worst case, we are splitting. I take my time and call. The river brings J. I bet 15BB. He calls. He spiked two pair on the river with KJ.

I thinh this hand, considering my table image and previous actions against other opponents at the table, was one of the best I played. Too bad the ending was not on my side, but realising, that I played correct, really softens the pain of loss.

2. Super loose super agressive player. Wanted to push him off and instead doubled him up. Stupid play what I do, when feeling unbeatable. Oh well. That's... stupidity.

FBI arrests Netteller money. Over 55 millions

Oh - My - God!

So, this mouring the first news I read about is that FBI seized about 55million dollars in US costumer moneys in Netteller. The best thing is, that noone will ever know, when poeple will be able to get it. Guess that 270day window wasn't just bubble in the air.

I feel for you, guys. Europe is with ya!


NETeller confirms funds seized by FBI

Smash the iPod! While he's still big enough.

Just read some really fun stuff at Jason Kirk's place. So now listening to something like iPod [I REALLY WANT ONE, iPOD NANO, BLACK, PLEASE BUY ME ONE] whilst walking in the street, should be a unlawful. Well, the idea of "Democratic State Senator Carl Kruger" is almost exactly like this. Laughed my ass off, as someone would say.

Annnd, continuing with nonpoker stuff, this will help you choose, if in case you're looking to buy a bikini as present for your significant other. [we have -17 outside right now]

Blog space, poker styles and random shit

Wow. Now my RSS reader is ready to blow up. There are so many feeds in, that I need really good time to find and read the goodies. To bad, I haven't that at work - I could kill some hour while waiting the end of a day.

So. Nothing new at my side, apart of weird seven bucks I earned last sunday. RakeBrain says that. Personally I don't remember I have played a hand that day. Oh well.

AApoker made a really good article about basics of the player styles.

Half of the blog's titles today sound something like "Happy Hammer Day!" and everybody talks about their finishing place in HammerDay tourney at FT. Nada interesting.

In some older news: Saga of Jamie Gold and Crispin Something Layser is over. yeah... I know what you thinking - so what?! Exactly, hah!

I guess today is the day to watch some Monty Python! "Shut up you silly bitch" and shit...

Update on MyWebATM and little of FullTilt

As That-Guy-Who-Drinks-Beer-In-The-City correctly noted, MyWebATM is really on the pedant side. It's so far on that side, that ir makes all thing even little scary. I can't even signup, couse I'm not american, but for starstriped people over there that should be svary.

This is just a first step:



On other news: finally got my FT account with rakeback. No "Holy Martyr", though. "Holy Mort". My first freeroll - 14th out of 360. And, TOTALLY HONEST, I dump my stack at that spot, couse I was playing at my work and wanted to split. And, besides, even if won that seat in Poker After Dark after those rounds, I couldn't go to Vegas anyways.

New ways to deposit to and off your poker account

OK. Here are some news on that.

The first one - YouTeller. YouTube child? In Toutube is found this ad, witch, frankly, I don't like and it doesn't look very serious.

The site is up already, although they say, they will start serving people only in march.

The second one is MyWebATM. FullTilt already has confirmed about cooperating with them. They are already in business.

a Brake

I'm starting to feel, that I must take some brake from poker. Not for months. I guess, not even for a week. But after five month of almost every day playing, I guess it's time to have some rest. My game starts to be crunky, rusty and reflective.

I still am interested in all about the game, but playing is not the same. And when I play, I am not satisfied with myself and it mades everything worse. If I don't want to become an action junkie, I guess I must stop. And soon I will try that.

On other news... there's no such. Today. Read my review below.

REVIEW: Poker Bustouts

Yep! As promised - the review of documentary Poker Bustouts.

I will not mention here any namaes of players, couse, frankly, they are not those stars everybody know of.

This documentary haven't plot as such - it is one big interview with about 15 poker players, who do that for a living. And they are all different as personalities - that's what makes this film so good. From homeless cowboy to father and husband - it's all been covered. The most interesting thing is, that viewer can see, what's ir all about and this isn't a Hollywood movie with happy [or so] ending. It hasn't any ending, actually.
There are about four or five segments, the film is divided to, such as bankroll management, bad beats, life being a player... We got to see some experienced and succesful players talking and then we are thrown to some bacalley, were "no money, no home, no family" talks about strategy.

I guess, everybody should see this film and make his own decision what was it about. For every person it will be different. For me, for example, it was film about family values. We need to love and guard what we have - out significant others, friends. Couse if we will not do that, we will turn into casino freaks with no soul. Yes, I guess, the main message was: guard Your soul! Don't loose it! Love the game, prosper in it, but don't let it capture all your life.

Poker Bustouts.

Drunk Poker Is Winning Poker - Drunken System I

"I'm gonna play my A game tonight!"
"You have any?"
"No."

I really don't know, why I do like this dialogue.

Lately it feels like my RSS reader reads all posts himself and then deletes them. Pretty empty. I guess lot's of people stopped jumping around their Big New Year's Plans and are taking a brake. So I will tell You one bad story, how I won money at the live game and then gave it away to some junkies on the street.

One friday I went to the casino and got drunk with a friend of mine. There was a game going on - 1/2Ls, what is almost exactly 2/4$ in your [most of you] monies. The thing is, I had just a little beer money, but my friend had a tons of it - we don't make a real deal about it. So, there is that game and I spit out, that that must be an easy one, couse I saw there two regulars and about five foreign joungsters.

note: I am already pretty much darn drunk.

So, my bud say to me in voice, what sober people will never talk, that he will stake be on that table for 50BB. Meeeeh! After a moment I'm at that table. Played about three or four hours [friend is lost in about two hours] and made 25BB on the winning side. Wow! Yei!

The words of truth - I don't remember a decent half af that! A remember, that at one point I figured, that I am not in my best [yeah, right] condition to play decent, so I made a waitreses run - I drunk and I drunk and I drunk. Ofcourse, the shiny side of that was, that drinks was for free. When I had aces, I needed to peak at the cards about five times before the flop and million times after. Mheh.

So, ok. I'm going home. I walk and I walk and then I walk some more. Yes! I am on the last street corner. Just through a little park shaped thing and I'm at my house's door. Two guys appear. Pretty big and crazy - with those drug addict's eyes, that glow in the dark. Boy, I was scared. So, to make story short - they took all my moneys [glad I don't use mobile]. Funny thing - there was only about 80 instead of 150. Other half I guess I left at the store while buying smokes.

Is there a good lesson after this? Yes! Take a cab!
