Thats right theres 200% in poker, and most of its bs. Theres
so many jokers winning tournaments, cashing deep in events.
I figure it may as well be me ! Unfortunately theres not
many good events on at the moment. May be i should
play tomorrows limit. I played some interesting online
tourneys today. If you are playing like the maniac on the table,
remember people wont fold much to you. Which is obvious,
tho usually i play solid so i forgot, stupid!

the tide is turning
Ive managed to switch the online drought, and in the
space of a few tourneys , im back to square (online)
I final tabled the $109 rebuy ($950), 55th in the stars
million ($3700) and 1st in Stars 100k (25k).
Went out last night and got too drunk, which made
playign the tourneys today tuff, but what the heck !
Ended up in some dodgy pool hall near the ariport,
drinks at the bellagio, trying to walk across a fountain
at caesars and then playing craps at casino royale at 7am.
Oh and we got into a food fight at the mirage, well it
was really just a friendly fight, when a guy frisbeed
a pancake from the next table to ours. My friend
took a bite out of it, then i frisbeed it long, hit a girl
in the head 5-10m away. She looked around in confusion,
and the staff came in and confiscated the remaining
frisbees/pancakes.
Now to try and win some live events !

Spirit breaking
So i decided to play the 2k pl. Which suits my game , nice
slow structure, no antes. I catch a break early having AA
against QQ, and end up running my starting stack
from 4k to 16k , playing really good. I mean im not making
crazy bluffs, but just picking up small pots here and there,
choosing spots carefully. Anyway its all too painful, I get
blinded down a bit, even tho i raise virtually at every opportunity,
9-8 suited etc. And then i hit some good cards, and make some good
plays and im up to 35k (around average). Then a few minutes
later, there are about 60 or so ppl left, im 2nd in chips on the
table. So im looking at making the money, and then keep the
roll going! Suddenly i look down at Kings , and 30 seconds
later the chip leader has all my chips, as were both all in preflop,
and of course he has Aces. Another kick in the pants, lucky i
was wearing cricket box. Anyway as far as poker goes, its a
bit like scarface , with all the bullet holes !
The weather is still hot, the poker is still cold , but there
is more to life than poker, except when ur in vegas in the wsop.
Apparently the forecast for cheetas - is for scattered panties,
and partly covered dancers (thats a quote from the add)

Howard hughs
may be i can spend a week like howard hughs living in a room,
and never leaving, i wonder what thats like. Didnt someone prop
bet a guy that he couldnt live in a bathroom for a month ! Also
why did howard hughs start pissing in jars. Couldnt he have
got a room with an attached bathroom. I guess its a good way
to come up with movie scripts.

new day new event same result
today was the $1500NL event. I got there with a positive
outlook knowing the poker gods, were eating peanuts
and mocking me. But i was in the waiting lounge, on my
way to something better happening.
When things arent quite going your way, sometimes you
change your game, become more defensive, play scared
etc. etc. or get impatient. i think ive been ok
These events are a bit tricky coz u dont get many chips.
Anyway i started off good picking up pots with nothing
and running my chips up from 3k close to 5k. Making
good bluffs and playing the ppl. Then i raise a limper
with KK the flop comes AQQ, he is short stacked, i bet
he pushes all in and i fold Still get my chips up to 4k.
Post a few blinds (100-300), and my stack is 3300, when i pick
up QQ in early position . The guy (new2 table) under the gun makes
a small raise. After assessing all my options i decide
pushing all in is the best move to isolate against him. He
calls instantly with Aces, and thats it, fking fk it.
Played some online tourneys, which went pear shaped.
Running total somewhere around now -75k. Good news,
is i can play that jackpot game. And the jackpot is greater
than my current deficit ! weeeee
tomorrow is the 2k pl event, gluck me.

Is this the sexiest women on earth ?
A friend sent me this link , with the above claim :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1G-3laJJP0&mode=related&search=
Anyway i clicked on it and it was this french news reader,
whose unbelievably good looking and has the sexy french accent,
but ultimately its just a series of her reading the news
with some stupid background music.
My french friend attracted by the sounds of french speaking,
came over to take a look, and was like oh yeh thats
the newsreader melissa ....
2 thoughts came to mind, one who cuts musical montages,
and it seems like the equivalent of someone on youtube
watching a montage of sandra sully clips, and saying how
hot is she ! With obviously no knowledge of what shes saying.

Asshole week
So my friend whose staying with me did an asshole test, but
its in french, and he claims that he was only a 19% asshole.
Frankly i think its closer to 90%. But who knows what 90% is
in french.
In the morning i wake up around 12, the heads up tournament
starts around 12. I figure i could go down and register, but then
i was going to play some games online which I can remote desktop
into. But that doesnt work ...
So i decide what the hell may be ill go and play the heads up
event. Then my friend, says why are you going to go down there?
Youve got no chance. Save the 5k. B "ill be down there in an hour
and ull be left with 3 chips"
I dawdle a bit longer, go down anyway, and may be luckily im too
late to register.
But im thinking may be i should spend a week in vegas being an
asshole.
Imaginary conversations from incidents ive had with ppl who ive run into
1) I see a lady reading a book sitting on the edge of a wishing well fountain.
I have a strong urge to push her in.
rk "sorry i didnt know you were only suppose to throw coins in"
2) Im eating a crepe , the guy is coming around cleaning up. like macdonalds
Your suppose to throw your rubbish in the bin. I leave the rubbish on the table. He
looks at me.
rk "may be if you provided forking forks that werent plastic, so you could
cut the crepes, id throw my rubbish away"
him "sorry sir, thats not my department"
rk "hey i always tip, perhaps if u save 1c out of each tip, you could provide real cutlery"
him "we dont get those tips"
rk "perhaps youd get a tip, if everyone didnt have to do your job"
him "your an asshole"
rk "at least my name tag doesnt say fking douchebag"
he rechecks his name tag i leave
3) i forget my room key card, and have to line up to get another one
hotel clerk "mr nathan this is the 5th room key card we've issued"
rk "im staying here for 6 weeks , get fking use to it"
4) i get into the lift , and the lady and i press the button at the same time,
it turns out we are pressing the same floor, she looks across at smile
(thats a funny coincidence)
rk "theres only 12 floors on this lift, its not that much of a fking coincidence,
and frankly its not a useful coincidince as your old and ugly"
life as an asshole, may be may be not...
