Busy, eventful weekend of poker.

On Saturday we had a nightmare session. First, we have pocket queens, and raise big. We get reraised huge by a shark reg so we flat. The board comes all low card with two clubs. I raise big, he shoves, I call. He flips AK clubs and hits his club on the river. There goes $500 or so.

Then, the most unlucky one. I limp with 69 suited and the board comes 7 10 2 rainbow. Check, check, the turn is the 8 giving me the straight. I raise, opponent reraises, I shove and he snaps and he has pocket 7's for the set. The board pairs on the river giving him the boat. Garbage. Still, just like the Queens, nothing to regret as I played well and just got unlucky.

Here's the bad play one. I have JJ and raise to $25. A shark raises to $100. I call. The flop comes low cards and he snap shoves. I snap call, on tilt from the other two hands, and he flips kings. OBVIOUSLY he had better than JJ here, moron.

Where as the other two are bad luck, the JJ one is unacceptable play and pisses me off.

Anyway, here's the weekend numbers:

Friday 4.25 hours +$466
Saturday NIGHTMARE 11.75 hours -$1,544
Sunday 8.0 hours +$379
Monday 8.25 hours +$183

Updated live stats since coming back:

227.50 hours +$4,541 +$19.96/hr

I deleted the Bovada shit form my stats and I'm never playing there or probably anywhere else online again. In the interest of full disclosure I coughed up $2,097.10 there in 3 days which is INSANE (I didn't add it up until now). f*** that shit. RIGGED SHITHOLE. Mostly shortstacking $2.50/$5 with $200 buy ins, which isn't smart either, and I really can't play any lower online, it just sucks. All nits 1/2 and lower. It sucks because I really do like playing a lot, but I really do feel like online is rigged as so many have said.

The Saturday session goes to show you, though, bullshit can happen in person as well.

Why did I tell you guys all this?

Because you needed to know, of course.

Run good, crew.

That’s some bad variance in a few of those hands SteveK. Hang tough. You’re doing great.

It sounds like you've played a ton of poker in your day, Tanko.You certainly seem to know the game pretty well. Do you still play? What limits did you/do you play? I'm getting used to 1/3 $500, it's so much more fun than 1/2 $300 for me. Sick swings though. Much less nits and more psycho players.

Oh also that fish at rivers dumped another $300 to me shoving on my raised AK with jack junk on Sunday. I was up over $900 that session but got my two sets got rivered again.

I'm getting good at getting rivered at Rivers, lol.

10-15 years ago before poker stars cut US players out, I was playing 3-4 nights a week. Not any more. Now it’s just a weekend with some friends every now and then.

50-mile ride today definitely pushing my limits, but that’s what this year’s been about health over everything. Next year, maybe I balance that with the wealth side a bit better. Rolling from Davie to Boca Raton, crossing 4–5 cities like it’s nothing. Covered up, ready for whatever the elements throw at me let’s ride . 🤘

Nice job. I doubt I could go 50 in a week.

JDS, two questions.
1. Do you have a back up chain?
2. Do you wear it in the shower?
Asking for a friend. ;)

No I do not have a back up chain lol this is everyday wear, even when I’m pounding for some back shots with a semi sexy broad. I do not wear it in the shower (it’s not real gold).
