Another 1 month bet?

Or maybe a 2 wk bet? I dnno. I'm thinking of doing another one after I move, although I don't know when I'll have everything set up. Perhaps around April 20th? But def. not later than May 1st will I start this thing if I end up doing it. I'm thinking of round II on my January attempt. How can you not bet vs. me now? I failed once, it's easy money lol. I've even thought of adding another stipulation that will fare in the bettors favor. Something like, I need to play x games/day without missing more than 1 day of x. If I fail, the bettors' odds change. So say I offer 2-1 odds (maybe 2.5-1 this time, not sure). You bet 200 to win my 100. If I fail more than my one allotted day of missed games, you increase the amount of money you win by (don't know the # yet) 10%. Now you are 200-120. During this bet, I will still coach (hopefully, lol) so it will be even harder to make it. This is just a rough draft of hopefully what turns into be another friendly (un)successful bet.

I'm Homelessless!

Problem solved! Unless anything weird comes up for whatever reason, things are looking good with the house stuff. I'm finally getting out of this town! You may have seen a movie about it.

The kinda cool, quirky irony is that the house I'm getting is the same house I was gonna get. WAT!?! It's like a track home or whatever. Where they look similar to each other. It's like the same house, in a neighboring neighborhood, but a WAY nicer area. Even nicer than the first one. It hasn't all sank in yet, but I'm sure it will start feeling pretty nice soon enough. I've had packed boxes sitting in my front room for 2 weeks almost lolz. Here is a google earth image of the place.

It looks a little funny on that right portion of the garage and up cause the image is funky haha. Great, now this rando in the pic has a prius and I want it so I can save money on gas, sigh.

On a poker note, I'm surprised no one said anything - well, maybe you thought it - about that 72h hand. Here is a recap of what happened and my explanation for my play.

So first off, all I know about this player is that early game he is a standard nit box playing 9/7, but that he overvalues AKo cause I remember he 4b shoved it on me (and he wasn't even the initial raiser) at bb20. Now, that shouldn't play into my decision here, but it's worth mentioning that he is standard nit box.



So he limps in. This is what I like to call a tell. A name tell. What does a standard 9/7 player named sngwizkid limp here? My guess is he has a huge pair unless he plays a little unconventionally.



I hit something on a dry board. If I check and he bets, I won't know if he has AA or air. So I stab 600 to clarify the matter. He flats the 600. What does he have? I doubt he has anyone of these pairs tbh. Unless its a set of jacks. No one named sngwizkid limps Jx here. And I doubt anyone with that name limps a 2 or 3 that isn't good enough to shove pf.



The turn brings the 5c. Betting serves no purpose but to fold out a 2 or 3 or 5 which he has none of here. I check. He checks as well. DING DING DING. Most overpairs bet here unless you're applying some really smart line.



River makes Ax have a straight. I check. He value bets? Huh? No. You don't have an ace. Anyone with sng wiz, even idiots, shove Ax pf. Do you have a x6o? Well, I don't think you had a pair the whole time. So you have 67? 68? 69? etc. Seems like those are easy shoves pf. (but then again, the air hands on this board are easy shoves pf too, so I just suck at hand reading). Maybe though, you could have a fluke pair of 5s. But why would 5s bet here? Just in case it is a fluke pair, I elected to shove.



Lol just trust me he folded. Haha, I can't get a pic to show it lolz.

Moral of the story is, don't let anyone tell you sngs are solved. I've never made this play ever. I bet I miss spots like this all the time. I'm pretty certain everyone does. But it just goes to show you, that there is stuff EVERYWHERE if you just really buckle down and apply logical reasoning. This whole play was based off of his HUD and screenname. If his name did not contain sngwiz, I would have never made this move.

Why I Should Be A Team PokerStars Pro

Ok, first off, there is no ego here. As you know (hopefully), I have zero ego in this game. Let me explain why I should be a pro. First off, I'm not moving into that house. ZOMG, WAT? Ya, dude. The day before I was scheduled to sign the lease (I was already told for a fact I was getting this house mind you), I call up the realtor to ask one more question. She answers the phone and says hi followed by an unusual chuckle. Maybe this is when that whole poker reading vibe comes in. That chuckle, is a bad chuckle. WTF is going on you dumbass chuckle? She begins to tell me a lengthy story about this and that. I could ask you if you want the good news or bad news first, but then I'd just have to pretend like any small bit of good news even exists. Here is the gist of it. The owner of the house is having a financial crisis (economy blah blah blah) with her job and in order to save herself she has to sell the house and not rent it. AKA: I can't move in. Oh, ok, that's no problem. Understandable. Here's the kicker though. And this is worse than when that fish's kicker plays and you're just like how the hell did his A4o hold vs my A2o. How did his kicker even play! F that kicker! Well, F this kicker...I already put in the 30 day notice at the house I'm at now. Folks, I am on the verge of becoming homeless. So that's why I should be a Team PokerStars pro. Just one from the homeless sector. Luckily, I'm viewing a home within the hour so maybe my fortunes will turn around very soon. But until then, I have been stressed out of my mind since last Friday when I found this out. It's like a 6 day mental downswing. So, until this stuff gets settled, I can officially say that I am potentially the sickest homeless poker player this world has ever seen. Although, I'm probably only in the same field of comparison as drunks and addicts who play by the fireside with their jumbo sized decks at 2am under the bridge. Hmm, homegame anyone?

I Was Banned From 2+2

FINALLY! I've been trying to ban myself from this site (block it, at least) because I always end up in the stt forum all the time. Habit draws me there. It lures me, it contolllls me ugh. Apparently, I got ousted for naming names in the game selection *DON'T NAME NAMES* thread. I assumed that this meant "don't name names when CALLING OUT people in a bad way." Guess I was wrong. I just named names of people who actively register around me, and I thought it was interesting that these are all big name guys. These are also all the same people I actively avoid as well. Oh, well. I need to not go to 2+2 anymore. I TRYYYYY to only use it for PMs because I arrange coaching stuff sometimes. But then I get suckered into reading posts. Maybe I should make a prop bet where I can't read 2+2 for a month. Any takers?

Apart from that, I would like to show a pic of the other time I got "in trouble" from 2+2. I got infraction points when I joined because I needed to "stop posting threads of low quality." This is one reason I rly hate 2+2. Like, when you are new to the game, or a new poster, and you have some questions you want answered, everyone gangs up on you like you're the freshman of 2+2 High School. I think I asked people what music they listen to for motivation to grind - insta ban/infraction points. Thanks. So, ya, I'd show you the pic, but...well, I can't get it cause I'm banned. Lolz.

I have a trivia question for you 2+2 junkies. Without looking - don't cheat - what are the suits of the cards in the 2+2 logo? I couldn't answer this myself, but thought it was pretty cool cause we've all seen it (although probably without registering the image) subconsciously.

Oh, and how to play quads...
