LABOR DAY ACTION on full tilt

COME PLAY WITH ME! FULLTILTPOKER

It's really the first time I had to REALLY get into a game.. but here we go! - I type this post AS I'm playing this game...





Just finished the break - with 97 to go I was in 1st place in chips.. Then lost a hand where I was playing POS...
bumbed to 2nd...

Action is faster now .. I'm down to 5th in about 5 hands.. (playing only "2" hands since break)

As ALWAYS.. It seems my LUCK and CARDS get really COLD after such a break..


I'm taking some shots from position... and it SEEMS at this table with these players MIN raises are good enough.. so - I'll make my moves as long as they let me..



64 left - I'm getting 10 4 off - 7-2 , just now.. Then... I make a move with A7 suited.. (mon raise) and get clobbered by ALL IN - form the SMALL BLIND.. UUUGGG!

16th now - with 57 to go... TOP 35 get paid (I think)
I'm still good - but I need to AVOID the TRAPS and the SYSTEM that is FULL TILT POKER.

STATS BREAK... But check out the BOARD during this hand... GOT TO LOVE THE FULL TILT action GENERATOR!




44 left and I'm 16th in chips with 31,390.. MY HANDS ARE WEAK AGAIN.. and the table has turned up the HEAT. (Last hand 8,2 off)




Little RUSH of cards here at 41 players to go.. I get a good few chips when I'm playing SAME MAN.. He's playing LOOSE.. and I'm HITTING TURN HARD... lol It happens.. I'm UP to 56K

I've learned to TRY and not have EMOTION while playing - these SWINGS happen, "you must get used to them" I think the KEY - or at least ONE OF THE KEYS is to just PLAY poker and play it WELL... Even if your playing a weaker starting hand.. Keep pressure on, when you can.. and try to have POSITION.. MAKES SENSE RIGHT???

THE PICTURES OF ALL THE SCREEN SHOTS SAY IT ALL...



OK... STOP THE TRAIN!

My COOLER HAND.. (anyone reading this BLOG knows it's coming when playing DEEP on FULL TILT... I ALMOST FOLDED.. PRE FLOP, BUT - HOW???? With AA right? My COOLER friend hit trip 5's






16 to GO... 2nd in chips

ADROCK - YO!!!!


FINAL TABLE ACTION.. But the GARBAGE SET UP HANDS ALWAYS GET ME... I will never have a hand WIN - when I go in with the LEAD late in a tourney..


Things get ugly fast..

Here I am.. JJ - Run into AK.. and true to FT form - they SMASH that AK... TWO PAIR!



GAME OVER! 8th place Finish.

See ya next time!

The FAST TRACK is about to SLOW down BIGTIME

Another Month or so and a few more projects and I get to relax a bit..

Summer 2008 was a mix of fun (not enough of this) problems (solved) and hassles (always the Elks)

So - I did a major REVIEW and get this.. I'm pulling BACK from my duties at my local Elks Lodge.. The inmates of the prison are running the show and until I see a change that is a good one.. I'm finished being one of the MULES..

It's all about RESPECT and sadly in the last year or two.. certain members of my lodge (the leaders) show very little to NONE - to the ones doing all the work.

I headed a BBQ that went off great for over 140 veterans and hospital staff the other day and had to get HELP from outside the lodge..

Fool me once... lol.

The future years holds promise IF the current people in charge figure it out and don't make them leave.

I pray they do..

Anyways.. Winters are always good for me internet poker and computer wise..

So I'm hoping to be on MUCH more in the next few months..

I'm playing online today on FULLTILTPOKER) .. "BIGTIME loser" is my name..

Summer is SLIPPING away fast

Hope all your action is going great this week! My action is limited for the past few weeks - as I'm hanging sheet rock and putting in a new bathroom in a rental.

I have a LIFE again after August 20, 2008 but to tell you the truth - I'm happy that I'm healthy enough again to WORK like this - at 41 - I'm starting to hurt more.. and it lasts longer too now (the hurt)

So - life is good, my punkins and garden are looking great... We went from 3 students last year to 6 this year.. AWESOME!

And.... I'm booking photography work again...

HOW ABOUT THAT!

I got a new laptop (TOSHIBA) and it was only $400.00 at WALMART - again awesome.. I don't do much on the laptop (while I'm a work) Just e-mails and blogs, internet - etc..

My ROCK WALL got put on hold - but I'll return to that and finish it in SEPTEMBER and then MAYBE start the LARGE deck I have planned for SUMMER 2009.

As you can see - NOT TOO MUCH TIME for CARDS.. Still - I might check out a LIVE tourney this FRIDAY - that has about 30 players - playing in it...

Wish me luck!

Hope all is well with you - I hope you get out and ENJOY summer!
