Online Play…

Been playing on Full Tilt for the past couple of weeks and noticed a pattern. Whenever you play casino games during day time in Europe the games tend to be much more calm and civilized. As soon as some americans sit down onto the tables all hell breaks loose. I am not saying that everybody in Europe plays quiet poker while American’s dont but that is something that I have noticed as of lately…We like to gamble much more over here I guess and make guttsier calls then most, in other terms are bogger “fishes” then most lol…So something to keep in mind when you are picking out a table to sit down and play at online…

High Stakes Poker…

I love this clip. It’s so sick that these guys are playing for hundred’s of thousands of dollars in live money and just having casual chats about “Blow” and the fish in the fish tank swimming behind them haha…What’s even sicker is the call that Antonius made. I truly am gaining more and more respect for him as a player every day…In my opinion PA is deff in the top 3 of poker players around the world…

Horrible Luck…

Jared — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:30:26 +0000

So after last night I’ve decided not to play for the remainder of April and hopefully return to some better cards in May. I went by the casino to play cash games last night again and was doing ok for the most part. Then the dreaded Hold’em hand came. I was sitting in small blind and got dealt KdQd so threw in a small raise since no-one else raise before me. Got called by two people and flop came out Ad10d8d. Having flopped the nut flush and a royal flush draw I felt I was in great position to take this pot down so decided to slow play it a bit, I checked and got the action which I wanted. Player after me bet a hefty amount and the player behind him went all-in. I knew that I was up against a set of some sort and maybe a straight in the other mans hand. I obviously called and so did the other player. when cards were flipped one had a set of Queen’s and the other player went all-in with 3d5d…
I was feeling great and hooping that the board wont pair and ill take down the pot then the turn and river came out 2d and 4d!!! Are you kidding me like??? I was like a 95% favorite to take that pot down after the turn and I loose to a runner runner low straight flush. Obviously I was a bit upset so I decided to take of the rest of April, get my composure back and return with a vengeance. It’s not that I have been playing bad that is why I’m not really stressing too much about it, just the other players have been getting way too lucky against me these past 2 weeks. So hopefully this nonsense blows over and May will be a good month. Instead of a complete rest I decided to test the water in another field: sports betting. I found a very reliable interactive gaming site for the best sports betting on the net. It became a good month after all.

touch Luck in Cash Game’s

Had a rough 2 days at the cash tables last week. Got caught for a bad beat both nights. I was playin the $5/$10 limits, dealers choice. first night it was a hand of omaha hi where I had Q,Q,J,A and J,Q were suited…Raised pot before the flop and got called by 3 other players…Flop came Q,4,4 so I was feeling real good…raised pot, two players folded while the last one re-raised me. I obviously called and the turn came out a blank so I raised pot again with him re-raising me all in. At this point I knew the guy either had a set of 4’s or a flush draw which was on the table after the turn. If he has quad’s he would’ve played them differently. So I called with the pot being almost $5000…What do you know a 4 comes out on the river and the guy caught Quad 4’s on me so that was the end of my night.
The next night was even worse if you ask me. It was the same blind limits and a hand of Crazy Pineapple…I was sitting in small blind and had J,J,10…The whole table called and I raised pot. Three players called and flop came out J,6,6. Again I raised pot because I didn’t want the same thing which happened to me the night before to happen again. One player called me and the turn came out a 10 which I threw out after the flop…I raised pot and got re-raised all-in once again with the pot being over 8k. I called and we flipped our cards over. All my opponent had was K,6 of the same suit and ironically of course another 6 came out on the river. These two are definitely pretty unprobable bad beats in my book. I took a few days off after and thinking of either making my return to the tables tonight or tomo so wish me luck

Tom “durrrr” Dwan…

Jared — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 09:06:10 +0000

So by now I am sure everyone is aware of the Durrrr challenge as well as the fact that the young pro is down quite a large sum of money on the year. Yesterday was a pretty big action day for him as he had decreased his gap to break even. At the beginning of the day he was down an astounding $2million for 09′ but after the long day of work he had proffited $600k which is bringing him closer to breaking even. The main hands were between Dwan going against 2 Full Tilt Pros: Gus Hansen and Phil Ivey. He took quite a big pot away from Hansen when he hit a higher 2 pair on the turn but for some reason he cannot beat Ivey. Throughout the course of the day he had lost a few pots totaling over 100k each to Ivey and continued the recent trend of loosing to him…I have to say that Dwan is gaining more and more respect from me every day for even thoe he is loosing to some for the most part he started taking out huge chunks out of his $2million spread for 09′ and if this keeps going on the not only will he break even but will also be up a huge amount of money after 2009 is all done with.
Good luck to all of the pros and thanks for providing us with such entertaining high price hands to watch.

Cash Game Poker…

Played the $10/$20 cash game last night at the casino and it went uqite well Started of slow and actually went down $3000 at first. Bought in for another 3k and started playing a bit better as well as catching the cards I needed to help me. I made one foolish call in an omaha hi hand when I flopped a set of 9’s but the flop was a rainbow 9, 8, Q…Bet pot and got called by two people and turn came out a 7. I checked and the next to players bet pot and then re-raise pot so for me to call if was a bit over 3k…Sometimes I guess you just have to go with your gut feeling and I had one so I made the call and river came out a 9

After picking up that pot it was all smooth sailing from there. Had a huge hand in 7 card stud. I got dealt a set of deuce’s and just kept betting pot with my opponent calling. I had no intention of slow playing the set because that’s how bad things happen in stud hehe…By the 6th card I got a full house and the other player went all-in himself with me obviously making the call. My last card gave me a higher full, Jack’s over deuces and I took down a pot of about $9500…After that hand I had a bit over 17k and figured it was time for me to go home. Bought in for a total of 6k so profit of $11,000. Not a bad night at all if you ask me

Worst bad beat I ever had!!!

Jared — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:33:28 +0000

So I went to play in a cash game last night at the casino. Minimum Buy-in was $2000 with the blinds being $10/$20…I sat down at the table with $2500 and was playing a good game. Making all the hard tough right calls and at the same time making some big folds which ended up to be correct. Then the worst hand I ever had came. By then I had about $5400 and got dealt QJ of heart’s…Threw in a small raise and two people made the call. Flop: A,K,4 of hearts…I thought I hit the lotto, Nut Flush with a Royal Draw, it doesn’t get much better than this. Checked it, one player bet $400 with the other one making the call. I just made the call to get more money out of them. Next card was a 2 of hearts which kinda worried me since one of them just might have 5,6 of Hearts…So i bet out $800 and was called and then re-raised by the next player all-in…Of course I made the call since I was holding the Nuts and the other guy did turn out to have 5,6 of heart’s so he only had one out in the whole deck. Guess what came out next? It was the 3 of hearts giving this idiot a low straight flush and beating me. It doesn’t get much worse than that if you asked me. I wanted to flip the table over after that hand…I hope my luck changes for the better soon, lost a decent amount of money in the past week in cash games…

Last minute luck…

Jared — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 10:34:59 +0000

Hey everyone. Played in a cash game the day before yesterday and if wasnt going to well from the beggining. Partly because I was making mistakes myself and the rest was people drawing me out by the river and me ending up having to fold or loosing in the showdown. I bought in for $2000 originally and in about 3 hours I was $4000 in it. Played for about an hour more and then just got tired of it since my stack was down to $1300 again. This is when in a matter of 30minutes everything turned upside down and started going my way for a change…

I was in big blind with pockes 3’s, person after me raised to $100 and every single other player called…Me in a desperation move and saying that I just want to go home already pushed all-in. Surprisingly only one player called and I ended up winning the pot for he had 2 over cards and they didnt come out for him. I was right back at $3400 with that hand. Then about 20 minutes after that I got pocket 10’s and moved all-in once more having being called by one opponent with 2 over cards. Nothing came out for him either and I ended up gettin up from the table with $6700 and being up almost 3K…feels nice to just get plain old lucky every now and then.

Amsterdam…

Jared — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:47:59 +0000

Hey everyone…Sorry for being away for some time but I was on vacation in Amsterdam. It was my first time there and to be honest I feel that it is a bit overrated. I was there with my sister and two of my friends, we had a great time together but other than that it was just like any other place for the most part. After a couple of days of partying I found a casino and of course was playing at a table in a few minutes after that. My first day wasnt too succesfull. I ended up going back to the hotel being down about 600 Euros and determined to get it back and some more the next day.

When I came back there I was very drained from the day time activities. We were walking around town, shopping, etc. for about 8 hours so I really thought I was just going to give my money away at the table. Thankfully the opposite occured. I played the 500 minimum buy-in cash game with 1and 2 blinds. In about two hours of play I got up from the table with about 3700 Euros and went back to my room to get some sleep. The players that took my money the day before ended up paying for my whole vacation and I basically went on my trip for free. My total winnings ended up being around 2600euros which more than covered the hotel stay and the flight. So it was a great vacation after all, I mean who wouldn’t like to go to Amsterdam for free right??? hehe

I am getting back into my normal daily routine now so you will see more posts coming up about my poker adventures. See you guys soon…
