This post is a 100% shameless brag, so if you don't like reading my brags gtfo and move on to the next thread. Hand happened earlier today at Commerce. Villan is a certain older gentleman wearing a certain unnamed MMA logo on his hat and t-shirt (I will keep it unnamed, but for those who are here and playing the games you will know exactly who I'm talking about). Villan has a massive case of hero syndrome (and apparently did not realize I have a bigger case of it) where he wants to make the big call downs, the big bluffs, and basically the most heroic play possible then show his cards and be like LOOK AT ME, I AM GOD OF THIS GAME, SUP?

Game is short handed 10/20 where Villan limps in the CO, SB is young kid who raises to $80, I am in BB with and call. Villan also calls. 3way to flop.

Flop: ($240)
SB checks, I bet $200, Villan calls pretty quickly, SB folds.

Turn: ($640)
I bet $620, Villan immediately asks "You have a set?" then proceeds to tank for 2 or so minutes. Finally he makes the call.

River: ($1880)
I check pretty quickly assuming my hand is good here >%50 of the time with the way the action went. Villan doesn't waste anytime and shoves all-in for $4900. So I stood up and called over a few people I knew that were walking around the table to come and watch what I was going to do to this poor man.

Then I called. He shakes his head with disgust and mucks. Table the A9 high ftw of the $11k+ pot. Dealer calls me "Young man" (reference to Peter Tran here at Commerce for those who know who I'm talking about). I <3 this place.

Letting everyone know I'm in LA for LAPC right now. Just wondering who from LP is here and playing. If anyone wants to meet up, I'll be playing cash games (10/20 NL in the smaller room) all day starting at 1:00pm PST tomorrow til like 9:00pm. I'll be wearing a blue hoodie and possibly a beanie. Don't be afraid to say hi if you see me! I don't bite! I'm here with GoGators86, A2SteakSause, TradeByDay, Hardcory, Webzilla, and BMW_Golf_Pro2 so I'll introduce ya to the gang if you find me. Ok GL!

So I realized that updating my blog on a weekly basis is just too much work. I really wanted to get some pics of the beach house I live in now (moved in at the end of August) but I lost my camera which sucks. Anyways, Evan and I moved up stakes in life and now we live in the WindanSea area in La Jolla with TeeJayOrTJ. Other than that life has been chill past few months. There are a ton of online poker players (Like 20-25 players that I know of) living here in San Diego and a bunch of us have taken up golf, so recently I've been golfing atleast 1-2 times a week which is a blast except for the fact that I'm averaging losing ~$500 in prop bets everytime I go out with the boys. I'm a sick betting fish apparently, but atleast my golf game is improving. First round of golf I shot a 180 (I'm sure most people would just give up counting strokes, but I wanted to see how bad I really was) but now I'm averaging around 125 strokes from the middle tees which is nice. I've even shot my first legit birdie already!


Roommates TeeJayOrTJ (yes he IS that short) and Evan aka FrinkX

Been playing mostly live the past 2 months and been crushing until the last week of October where I pretty much ran like dog shit and probably didn't play my best while running that bad. I had a set goal on what I thought I could maintain monthly at Palomar (the cardroom I mostly play at in San Diego) and I was on track until my very tragic last week of October. Sucks to run bad on one of the very few times the No Limit game runs with $10/$20/$40 blinds. Lucky for me, my next door neighbor is | Scubba | the cap NL wizard, and watching him play & crush Ivey at $500/$1000 cap NL got me motivated to play online once again. Actually ended up learning a lot about playing vs short stacks from watching one of his sessions and listening to how he thinks about the game. So far thou, my own online en devours have been slow, as I feel like playing live vs mostly fish has set me back on the learning curve. Been watching a bunch of videos and studying up so hopefully I can return strong! Other than that, I got myself into a relationship and it's cool caz my girlfriend is basically awesome in everyway. For some reason, my mind set is on such an even keel no matter how bad or good I run and I feel it's mainly caz of her.
