Well I'm officially broke in my bankroll. I was playing way outside my means and lost it all to a guy that had been betting and raising every hand. He moved in again (4th straight time) and I wake up with AQs. Of course he turns over QQ and my one over misses, as well as a flush draw, and I'm lose out on a $695 pot. I finally double up my remaining chips on him ($55) and he leaves the table. A few hands later, I flop top pair good kicker, move in, and get called by a guy with a gutshot straight draw, which fills on the river and im broke. I'm quitting internet poker until I can get enough of a "roll" back, to start playing within my means. One positive thing, I know for a fact now that I won't put everything I have into a single game now... lovely learning the hard way. |

HELL YEAH IT IS.
No more than 10 minutes ago my mom was once again bitching about how she has no money. To get her to shut up (and give her what she wants without truly asking) I gve her $100. Now she is mad that I gave it to her, and I am mad for the same reason. What she does with her money, I'll never know. She is on salary and chooses to work 14-16 hour days and have no home life. Fine. It just seems that whenever she IS home, she is begging for money. Case in point: Two nights ago she said, "Hey, gimmie $20 so I can go rent some movies." Not May I have, or would you like to go rent some.. just Gimmie. I figured she would get at least one good one, but no. She gets 3 horror movies and she knows I HATE scary shit. Didn't even give me the change back until my sister asked about it... $8, yay. The next day she takes them back... I didn't want to see them, but I would have liked to have the option, so $12 pissed away for her so far. A few weeks ago, my sister went to Bible Camp or some shit, it was $200. My mom called my dad demanding $100, his "Half". He tells me "Go ahead and give it to her and I'll give it back to you." Yeah right. Any of you believe that?? Too many times have my own parents fucked me over, but I felt sorry for my sister. I don't condone anything bible related, but she wanted to go with her friends. That night I gave mom $100 for dad's half, $100 for the cable bill and $80 for the dog's haircuts. ANYWAYS, I get home from work the next day and there is an envelope to my sister. Of course it has to be mom's half and dad's (My) half. Nope, its just $100 for dad's part and she claims to have made a special deal with the church... bullshit again. I gave my sister the other $100, so I paid for the entire trip in a roundabout way. Money here and there for about 2 weeks brings me to today. As soon as she woke up, she said "I need $25 for Cara's medicine" Feminine shit or something. Again, not asking.. DEMANDING. I question her as to how the fuck she ever made it while I wasn't here and she didn't know what to say. Finally made up another lie saying my Dad helped her out. A little bit later i hear her going through her purse. I asked her what she was doing. Her exact words were;"I'm cleaning it out my purse. (Few second pause) Im gonna cash in some change so I have some money." NOW THAT JUST PISSED ME OFF REALLY BAD. That is how she justifies me giving her money and she claims she never asked. Nothing pisses me off more than that. I am like her god damn bank that not only doesn't charge interest... You don't even have to pay me back. In outstanding loans I have $400 from her, $200 from my dad, and $200 from a co-worker. (BTW, she just came bank in from getting the medicine, still saying she wants to go change the coins in. She does seem happier with that money in her pocket. Better go buy some wine and cigarettes.) Can I be someone's bank that I actually don't mind giving money to?!?!?!?Current Mood:  irate |

Ok, has anyone ever had a day off from work where you actually WANT to do something? That's today for me. I wanted to get out of this fucking hell hole I call an apartment and just GO SOMEWHERE. Money is no issue in this, just no damn car. I was even considering calling a taxi to take me to the airport and just flying somewhere. Fuck work tomorrow. I hate it. Actually, as I am typing this, I am very VERY tempted to just get on a plane and go to Vegas or Florida, man that is a tough one. My mom and my sister are just content as hell to live in this flity, run down, dirty ass place they call home and I loathe it. I think soon my life will take a MAJOR turn. I have no idea if it's gonna be for the better or worse, but something needs to change. I've felt myself becoming complacent with mediocrity which I swore I would never do. To prove my boredom, I dedicated an hour (or 2) of my life to the E! True Hollywood Story of Scott/Laci Peterson... yeah... So, I am off to travelocity or expedia or another site and try to get a flight tonight, just cause I can. |

Ok, everything was all fine and good until my Mom decides she wants to go out to eat. At the time I thought it was a great idea. She loves this local place called Kelsey's, so I offer to take her. Everything is great until the food comes. I have some kind of stomach virus right now, but I sucked it up and tried to enjoy the time out, meanwhile, she bitches that the cheese fries are too hot... she ordered a Daquiri, she bitches it is not as good as another restaraunt's... her soup comes... she bitches about how it tastes. Then her salad comes and (wait for it) she actually shuts up and eats. By this time I am in the bathroom throwing up everything I had just eaten, amongst stuff I don't remember eating (work with that visual) :-)
Anyways, when I come out, the waitress had just taken the daquiri and soup back, and my mom wanted it off the bill. She decides to get the food in "To Go" boxes and takes them out to the car. As sick as I feel, I really felt bad for the waitress. There were only 2 tables with people at them, she was doing both... this was just before the dinner rush. Anyways, from hearing Missy's stories of shitty tips, I grew a conscience I guess. I went to the bathroom again to "wash my hands"... really I was waiting for my mom to go to the car and leave the girl alone for a minute. I had paid the $23.12 bill with $24 and left it on the table and ran off to the bathroom. I counted what I had on me, well over $800, and I figure $40 would handle the mental damage my mom instilled on her. She didn't look mad when she was counting out the money on the table, just kinda disappointed. I walk over and apologize for the hassle. Standard nice person reply "oh its ok... blah blah" I hand her 2 20's and start to walk away and she almost freaks out. "Oh I can't take that, the bill was only $23, this is like double... did you mean to give me this much?" Yep, and I go on to explain I have heard some stories of bad customers and didn't wanna end up as one :-P She tried to hand it back... man rejection sucks, I can't even GIVE money away. I asked her if she had to split her tips, she said no, so I say Keep it, you earned it, and walked out. What does a guy have to do to give money to people that actually work??? What would Missy do?? Please explain the mindset of waitresses to me :-D

Ok, I'll elaborate more later but here's what happened. I busted out of one of their quick SnG type deals at the 40/8 last night and I was pissed. it was a horrible move on his part and I, Of course, got my money in with the best of it... runner runner sucks ass. After the game broke, they wanted to play a $10 buy-in, 7 person game (here's the best part) blinds start at 10/20, starting chips 300!!!! I told them I wasn't playing any more crapshoot style shit and they went nuts. Started asking if I was a pro, how I got off thinking like that... the questions were flying. I tried to explain to them it was basically All-in or nothing with only FIFTEEN big bets... hell a few raises and you were done. They are the true reason I hate poker right now. I fold 3-3 UTG and they bitch, yet they don't seem to remember the guy across the table raised later in the hand, only to showdown AA and bust 2 people. They are the true Gamblers that ruin poker and deal more bad beats than anything. They eventually deny 100% that someone can be a pro at poker, not more than 10 minutes earlier they were asking if I was. They honestly think they are poker gods and math means nothing in this game. IDK, im still pissed but I gotta go to work.

You belong in ... Donnie Darko. You are a bit of a social inept child, who enjoys a good mind bender. You like a nice mix of comedy, drama, sci-fi, and everything else. You think the world will end in 28 some-odd days and see illusions of a bunny named Frank. Thats... kinda weird.

I really don't wanna write about this, but oh well. Just as we arrived, a game was already underway. They quickly busted down to three handed, that that took about an hour and a half from there. All in after All in after All In... jackasses. The manager there finaly said we could open up another table if we thought we had enough to play... we did. The first game was 6-handed... hell of a lot better than 12. After the first few rounds I was probably a bit above the avg. stack until I picked up AQ in under the gun and raise to 120 (20/40). Almost everyone respected my play and pretty much knew I had something, so they folded, minus my cousin, sitting on my left. He was pretty shortstacked, I think he had 200 or a little more maybe, and moved all-in. I was torn on what to do, then I remembered that he accidently flipped one of his cards while squeezing them. It was the 5 of spades. Best hand he could have: 5-5, I'm 48% to win. Up against anything else, I'm the favorite, hell if he had A-5 or Q-5 I had him dominated and was 75% to win. I figured I had enough to call and be decent in chip position, so I did. I showed my AQo, he flipped up his A-5 suited. I'm extremely happy cause I love to bust him out of games. He doesn't even react which lead me to believe he didn't know how bad of an underdog he was (70 to 30). Flop brings 2s Qh 3s. Needless to say I wasn't so happy. It's now a coin-flip, but I'm still leading cause I don't need to improve. First words out of my mouth besides "Oh fuck" are "Bring out the 4 of spades, I know its coming." Turn brings a blank to both hands. RIVER: The Four of Spades... I was so pissed. Ok, fine move on. Next hand, I pick up AA and I am hoping to god people think I am tilting. I move in for the rest and get two callers. The flop hit me for trip aces and I was doing my best to stay calm. One person bets and the other folds. I turn over my cards and she shows Td6d, one diamond on the board. Of course you know she gets runner-runner diamonds and knocks my ass out of there. I rebuy and go on to finish on the bubble (3rd) for no money.
Second game goes pretty much as well as the first. I get my chips in with the best of the hand EVERY TIME, yet they fucking hit miracle cards and knock me out in 3rd again, and no cash.
Total loss - $30... god damn I was pissed.

Ok, I became a member of the local 40/8, kinda like the Veteran's of Foreign Wars club. My grandfather is a member, as well as my cousin, so I had no problems getting in. Two nights ago we tried to get a few games going, yet no one showed up... not funny unless you consider the fact that we called the night before and we were told no games were happening (so we headed to Trixies, a Louisville Strip Club, for a few hours). Anyways, that beings me to tonight. I walked in and saw the tail-end of a 7 handed game that was down to 3. Within 10 hands I had good reads on betting patterns, chip placement and overall attitude of the players. About 30 minutes later, they go heads up and decided to just split it and start a new game. By now we had 12 people, so I suggested we have 2 tables of 6 and combine at 3 each. Everyone hated the idea for some reason and wanted to play 12-handed on a single table... I just about shit myself. I personally hate playing 10 handed but oh well. On to Game One.
Buy-In was $10. We have 250 chips with the blinds at 5-10 and escalate every 15 minutes. Rebuys allowed (max of 2) during the first half hour. Only top 2 pay out... sucks. Best hand I saw for the longest time was K6o, out of position. I waited for premium hands and good draws (thanks Matt). People were dropping slowly... 5 rebuys brought the total cash to $170 (I didn't have to rebuy :-D). I played extremely tight and generally, my bet was respected and I finally stole some much needed blinds higher up in levels. Finally made its way to 4 players, where I feel my play is best. I get decent cards but am always betting and raising pretty big. I'd chip up to leader, maybe lose a small one here and there, but overall I just killed everyone.... sans one drunk old bastard. (Note: He and his girlfriend own this lodge) He was playing the worst cards possible and catching everything. If or when someone outdrew him or flat out dominated him, he would try to justify hisself by blaming people for betting out of turn and shit, which never happened.
I ended up knocking the 4th placer out with my AKs vs. Q9o. I was second in chips after that hand, only a few more than the person in 3rd. No more than 5 hands later, the drunk guy busts out the person in 3rd place and he wants to split the money with me. He had well more than probably 2/3 of the chips in play but still offers me $70 to his $100, so I took it so we could start again. I am 99.9% sure I could beat him, but I wanted to play again and there was no risk in cutting. Quick math said I should have gotten about $50-$55 bucks, so the extra $20 was nice... Total Profit: -$10 Buy in + $70 cash out = $60
GAME TWO:
Pretty much started the way the other one did, yet everyone was mad at me for placing in the money since I was the "New Guy". Oh well, I am out to make some decent money... screw 'em. A few people left before this one started, and a few new ones came in for an 11-seater. The second game was just viciously insane. All-ins and rebuys flying everywhere. I fell victim to my Q8s to AA, after the flop brought Q72, rainbow. No straights, no flushes, more than likely no 2 pair, so I moved in. The guy called and I lost. But wait... REBUY TIME. I spent another $10 and played insanely tight. I doubled up on KK vs. AKo around the 8th placer-range I think. Went on quite a while later (down to 5) and Doubled up on my AQs vs. JJ with the same guy that had made me rebuy. Later on, we are down to three. The young girl on my left is the MASSIVE chip leader (knocked 3 people out by flopping a nut flush). Guy across from me was the same one who had dicked around with me eariler with the coin-tosses. I was the short-stack but the other guy never had much more than me. I doubled up twice to become the chip leader and let the other two fight it out for awhile. This shit went on for 30 minutes I think... everyone stealing blinds and just scraping for chips. I eventually made my move with AA to the other guys TT and knocked him out. (I made him bubble before too). The total cash for this one was $220. We were about even and I just wanted to get it over with. I was the chip leader by very few chips so we both decided on a $120 / $100 split.
Total Profit = +$60 from game one -$10 buy in -$10 rebuy -$10 cousin's rebuy* +$120 cash out= $150
*he paid me back later, he only had a hundred dollar bill at that time.
So $160 made for one night. That is an entire weeks check for working at Daily's. I had more fun playing poker too.... real work sucks ass.
Now no one knows whether or not to like me for taking all their money while being the new guy.
Freakin' Sweet.

Ok, I've never been one to "jump on the bandwagon" and follow suit with everyone... wait a minute... I'm always the one doing that... oh well, fuck it. I have decided to quit my job as well. Yay. I get paid $6.75 an hour ($5.33 after taxes) to bust my ass at a grocery store, cleaning up other people's messes, and not getting anywhere with it. Not only do I deal with jackass customers, I also have jackass "managers" and co-workers. (as a side note, how can you demand the title of Manager, then when problem's arise, hand them out to your crew to deal with... ) I get bitched about everything and everyone and as stated before, I hate it there. I have talked to the store manager (been there since he was 15, now in late 40's. Talk about career advancement) and told him I was offered another job for more money with benefits and less pure bullshit. I got the "You're an asset to this store" speech and basically tuned it out. Everyone hates working there, yet no one has the balls to do anything about it. Hopefully once I set things in motion, i will have 3 or 4 people quit within a week while the owner is on vacation. Have him come back to a closed store... HA.
Hate to vent, but if I don't, I'll probably end up killing someone or something.
