Can You Feel It???

Ahhhhh shit. Get yo bankrolls 67sooooted 'bout to tear up Bellagio, Encore, Wynn, and Venetian too!!!

We on a plane,
We on a plane.

It only feels like yesterday when AC & Shifty were staring longingly into each others' eyes over a gelato at Trevi. A scant 6 months ago, Shabba was found on top of a mechanical fallus at a convention for porn. Mr. Shit placing his 67suited hat in some working whores' ass cheeks, Superdonk was in search of tentacle porn, Deuce was finding ways to get out of going to the deli and Santi was being Santi.

So, in :countdowncheck: 14 short days, a huge crew from 67 and CP will be headed out to vegas for the June Forum Trip. Oh the douchbauchery that will ensue. Might I mention that left to our own devices we will be playing lots of poker.

Congrats to Paddy, and :cough cough: the 23yo virgin for winning Main Event Seats, Paddy will be playing and obv winning w/ a 67 patch on his shirt. Rambler will be ducking us in the mix games but playing a $2500 HA tourney at the series.

There were many quotes from the trip, but you just have to go.

Stop It!!

Pictures possibly to come. Who am I kidding, that is not happening tough shit fuckers.

12/6: Capitol 6/12 - "Steve, you are a prop now?"

I got out this Sunday to go and play some 2-Card poker (LHE) and it was an interesting day.

The table had 2 maniacs that played every, I mean every hand for the first hour and a half of my session. Every hand was at least 3 bets preflop, kill pot or not. LOL live limit hold'em. Gotta love.

Well I really didn't win any hands at all for the first couple hours until 1 of the maniacs left. Then I made back the half rack that I lost earlier in the session trying to set mine w/ 6's 4's and 5's in capped pots preflops.

TSP: 3 Hrs
TP: +$110

No really interesting hands, flopped 2 sets that held, turned a straight in a kill pot and didn't get paid off on the river. I did over play a hand where I think I got a little bit out of live w/ a 1 card straight flush draw which rivers a straight but loses to the flopped nut straight.

And in other news, Steve from Cache Creek who mildly resembles Kyle Gass from Tenacious D is now a prop player at Cap. He plays pretty solid, and is a pretty fun guy to bullshit with while playing. We didn't get into many hands together.

Next weekend I will be playing...guitar with Wigs and Ties live in San Luis Obispo. I will post the setlist as a trip report when I get around to it.

Woooot 80s rock.

11/27: Black Friday 6/12

Ok, so this is just going to be a blog tease. Will be back later to write about my session.

Spoiler Results:

TSP: 4 Hrs
TP: +$155

-Missed BBJ by Villian not having QQ
-Made $13.50 on selling Hi-Hand to Feliz

________________________________________

Opinions to come on this Isildur1 character and this ridiculous action that he is giving/getting to all comers including the newest Full Tilt Pro durrrr.

________________________________________

Ok, so I am back to give some quick thoughts on durrrr vs. Isildur1. Speculative information that we know of:

-Swede Viktor Blom "Blom90" on iPoker (Euro Site) has been outed by Ziigmund et al.
-At one point during the month of November he was up close if not above $6 Mirrion.
-At the end of November he was listed to be up only over $1M.

-The majority of his profits came from newly inked Full Tilt Pro Tom "durrrr" Dwan.
-PTR & High Stakes DB tracked Isildur1 to have taken roughly $5M from Dwan.
-A few months back there was a new kid at the nosebleeds, "Martonas' also a Swede has been rumored to be Isildur1's neighbor; w/e if for some reason this is true that is a bad play by these two. It would be hard to imagine that no information was passed between the two.

All that information as side the railtards, me included have been watching this intermittently. And as I am writing this right now Isildur1 and durrrr are 6-tabling 300/600 with Isildur1 up about 1.2 on the day taking close to $900k from Brian Townsend and is up about $150k on durrrr. Soooo ridiculous.

More speculation has been put on the amount that durrrr has lost than anything else and the validity of the tracking sites. I would have to think that they are quite accurate because so few players can play that high it would be hard for them to miss a hand. No one really knows what is the state of durrrr's BR and what his deal w/ FTP entails, but whether or not he had all of himself in the last matches vs. Isildur1 the $5M has got to hurt somewhat.

Short history of Isildur:
He first appeared on FTP in October playing 25/50 and ran up his BR a good amount then sat down w/ Patrik, Gus, Degenamine, CTS, Haseeb Quershi, Phil Galfond. Then he proceeded to absolutely facefuck durrrr in both PLO and NL for $5M+.

All that aside this last month has been historic for FTP and the online poker world.

Since his downswing Isildur1 has been rumored to be broke; that is probably not true. And if he keeps up what is going on right now he will finish the day up more that 1M.

On the other side of things for durrrr he has since comeback a little bit winning roughly $2M in the 7-game and 200/400 PLO and 300/600 NL.

Many people have thought that durrrr should move back down and rebuild a little bit which he has done quite nicely.

__________________________________________

As I just typed, this here is the chat posted at the end of their NL session:

Isildur1: i am to tired to play 36 now
durrrr: i have 45min more
durrrr: les play here for that?
Isildur1: i can play 5001k
Isildur1: any game
durrrr: k
durrrr: come 5001k plo
Isildur1: k
durrrr: jus 45min hto
Isildur1: ok

So they are 6-Tabling 500/1000 PLO. How is that for BR management Mr. Ferguson.

11/22: Atlantic City

So, the warmup forum trip has come and gone. Good night Atlantic City, you're beautiful. Actually it was. Really, I had my preconceptions about what the East Coast in particular AC was going to look like, and I was completely wrong/

I didn't see the troves of Italians cursing, profuse smokers, and that annoying Jersey accent (sorry Deuce) was drowned out buy the mass of opulence that was the Borgata Poker Room. 85 tables all going at the same time, awesome.

A quick thanks to Shabba for picking Nik and I up in Philly, chauffeuring us to AC, and the return trip was equally appreciated.

So onto the live forum games. Well, what's new??? Shifty fucking owned as expected to the tune of about +8k. Shabba finished the trip up 2k. Rambler lucksacked his way to a great trip scoring +1.5k. Nik made $700. Deuce I think was down a little bit. Dennis was even. Loretta, well we all know what happened there he probably was the big winner imo.

And then there is me... I played NL for the first time live. It wasn't bad, or good for that matter. But I have to say that it is pretty slow moving as compared to limit, and for some people that is fine but I haven't got into it yet.

Summary and 1 HH.

7.5/15: -300
1/2 NL: -200
Pai Gow: -100
1/2 HA (Half NL, Half PLOrly): +600
Total: +/- Even :facepalm:

So the trip started out on a good note and I made about 200ish at 1/2NL, and then proceeded to give back that profit in the 67/CP Pink Chip Game to the tune of a $500 down. And Pai Gow is no good for me or Loretta for that matter.

So my trip came down to 1 hand that got me back to even. The CP/67 Crew made it back to Harrahs about 3:30 Friday Night and decided to get a mix game going. 1/2 HA, half hour rotations. Rambler decided to leave his tampon in and spectate being content w/ his 1.5k upswing for the trip instead donating to us obv :-)

I was needless to say playing pretty tight and was pretty card dead.

HH:
Shifty (covers)
Shabba ($275-ish)
Hero (&275-ish)is dealt KKJ7 double soooooted in hearts and spades
Nik (n/a)
Deuce SB (n/a)
Dennis BB (n/a)

Shifty - Pots UTG to 10, Shabba calls, Hero calls, Deuce calls, Dennis folds - ($40)

Flop: K89 (top set, all money is obv going in)

Checked to Shifty, who leads for 30, Shabba calls 30, Hero makes it 120 straight. Folds back to shifty, who effectively shoves me AI, Shabba calls, and I call all in.

Pot is now $800 and change.

With the cards turned up, Shifty shows 8976 for bottom 2 + a open ender, Shabba shows the low 13 card wrap, and I show top set w/ blockers.

So, the turn brings the 9 giving both Shify and I boats, Shabba is drawing dead. Leaving only 1 win in the deck that doesn't show up on the river.

I douche-ingly exclaim "Ship it all!!" and rake in a niiiiice pot to bring my trip back to even.

So that was AC; fun, fun, fun.

Later in the week I am gonna get into the carnage that has been endured by durrrr's bankroll, Isildur, Patrik, and Phil. Along with some small stakes musings from the Cap NL realm.

-Cheers

10/30: Upcoming Trips...

“I come all the way to Atlantic City to see your Mugs…”

“Welcome to Las Vegas East…”

Well, not exactly. For the interim forum trip this year, Santi, myself, and hopefully the Superdonk will be venturing to Atlantic City. Seems fun and is shaping up to be a short but badass trip.

I, having never been to the East Coast before, have this mental picture painted in my head of what AC/Philly will be like:

Things to look for would include but are not limited too:

-Degen Pai Gow w/ Shifty where he will inevitably own the game
-East Coast Accents
-Lots of Italians
-Coffee and Milk
-Yankee/Philly Fan
-Deuce commenting on who’d “Get it.” And making advanced plays at 4/8
-People burning heaters one off of another
-Cursing
-Overall Hatred of People from the Left Coast
-Orange Faced broads from Staten Is. / Long Is. / North Jersey
-Turtle from Entourage
-Wrestling Talk
-Live MFK Game
-Shabba commenting on how gross a play was, and that he is “face-fucking” insert name of poker game here

I think that about covers it.

Oh yeah, there will be poker in there somewhere with the famed game “Johnny Lodden Thinks” and Limit Hammer throwing, etc., Now if only there was a Carnegie Deli.

The games should be pretty juicy so said Deuce/Rambler. I am looking forward to the ‘Pink Chip Game’ (7.5/15) and the 10/20 at the Borgata which has a spectactular room.

Santi and I are red-eying out to Philly Tuesday night, kickin it in the city of brotherly love to get steaks Wednesday, and then being politely chauffeured to the entrance of Harrah’s AC by Shabba. (Thanks again man)

So its only 2+ weeks away, woot.

And then a short 8 or so weeks after then we get back to the ol’ stomping ground of Southern Nevada where the ‘Sand turns to Gold’ wait wrong description but w/e.

Poker and Porn II will commence in the first week of 2010 highlighted by a great turnout which already includes:

Santi, Deuce, Shabba, Shifty, Reb, AC, Superdonk, Me, KL, Ahhhhst, and other’s still yet to confirm. I am sure that there will be long periods of bedlam involving busted hoes at the Convention as well as ridiculous antics at the tables.

PLO/LHE/O8/NL Mix game has already been discussed…It just needs a name…

More details to come on this.

Also I am posing a BIG question to the US readers involving a overseas trip. Would anyone want to me the man, the myth, the accent that is Doyle?

What do you think about a 2011 WSOP Europe Trip? Could be fun.

And a short side note on poker- I have played only 3 live sessions since Vegas, and have posted positive sessions all 3 times. I have been putting time into learning NL and have been playing 10NL online.

CP3: Belated LV Blogs...In before tl;dr

Wednesday June 10

After landing the Santi and I cabbed it to Harrah’s and checked our bags to wait for the crew to arrive in town. Kid, Rambler, Dennis, Trey, Trey’s wife and Shifty were already in LV and we came to find out that Shifty had already satellited into the $1500 NLH WSOP tourney to start on Thursday. We all eventually met up at Venetian and got some food w/ Ramble, Dennis, Shifty, and the Shabba.

Sidenote: the Mexican place in the Venetian food court has delivered 2x now.

After some food we all make our way over to Mirage and meet up w/ Pika and Deuce. From then on we basically played some 4/8 (lol minibetaments as Shifty would call it) with a mandatory straddle and sometimes restraddle, as well as Hammer Throwing (7-2 Game) was on, obv. This time we only ran off 3x tourists. It was slightly down from last trip.

I think that I came up like a rack at this game after boating w/ TT against Nik when he attempted to throw the hammer at me with a turn CR. I felt kinda bad for Pika because when Nik left to go check into the room, Pika got a seat and Rambler threw the hammer 2x and I did once so Pika was down $15 without even being dealt a hand (move to LOL Live poker).

We hit the deli for round 1 of the trip after the short 4/8 session and I just chilled for the rest of the night.

Thursday June 11 – Santi Day

After a semi late awakening, I headed over to the Deli and had some French Toast shipped my way. The Deli is a always kick rainbow, btw. After eating with Pika and AK and Rambler, we decided to join Nik and Deuce at B. As a sidenote, Bellagio no longer spreads the 8/16 game only failed interest lists right now. Its either 4/8 or 15/30 gay gay gay.

Jason (Pika), Kenny (Rambler) and I got on the 4/8 list and railed Deuce who ended up running pretty bad in the 30/60 game but the action in that game was pretty juicy. Nik looked to be maintaing at the 15/30 but nothing really of note. I think that he ended the day down a little bit. There wasn’t much to say for the 4/8 session except that I think I came up a little over a rack after sitting w/ Pika and Rambler and some other random douches that just wouldn’t STFU.

After a mildly amusing session Deuce, Shabba, Nik, Rambler, Pika, and I headed for the Rio to rail Shifty in the $1500 NLH event. Shifty looked to be running pretty decent and at the end of Day 1 he had roughly 26k in chips. It looked pretty promising that he would cash in the event with like 100 to the money bubble.

We did end up seeing some notables one Phillip Hellmuth Jr. who ended up busting out before Shifty, that’s right suck it Phil. The Chark, The Mouth, Roland de Wolfe, Kido Pham, and Chino Rheem to name a few.

But the highlight of the night by far AINEC was Deuce proceeding to own Shabba in the WSOP HU video game that the Rio had in the halls outside the Amazon Room. As I recall it K2 > A4 100% of the time. Of course the cab ride back to the Mirage for the Deli was priceless. Shabba just ripping Deuce up “King-Deuce is the nuts” the whole way back. FTR, Deuce is 3-0 in this game after owning some random chick who we thought to be a hooker but obv., we were wrong.

An aside, the cab talk this trip was tops over any other trip. Shabba commenting as we walk into the Rio about how some story about a guy who had some chicks staying in his room and not banging then and what the Cabbie must have thought of us the entire ride.

So if you are keeping track 2x to the Deli today.

Friday June 12 – Check Raising Dr. Buss

So as Nik and everyone else on the forum has mentioned we did get to play H.O.R.S.E. with Dr. Jerry Buss owner of the Lakers. Superdonk, Nik, and I being from Sacramento had to hold back our comments that regarding the Lakers and anything that may have happened in the playoffs (cue Luske).

But anyway, Dr. Buss was directly on my left, great. All in all he was a pretty chill guy. It was pretty funny when he was trying to explain to his girlfriend easily 18 years old what Stud 8 was. I think that she was more enthralled with he bejeweled phone that anything that was going on at the table. He also mentioned that he wouldn’t be going to Game 5 in Orlando, instead he was going to play in the $1500 H.O.R.S.E. event at the Series.

I pretty much owned the H.O.R.S.E. game, I came up a little under $300. I did pretty well only understanding 4/5 games. I still have no idea what I am doing in Stud 8. I smoked the hold’em rounds and ran pretty good in the Stud Hi rounds as well.

I gotta give one hand history. I am in the BB w/ T8os and Dr. Buss is UTG he raises, Nik calls on the button, Superdonk called in the SB, and defend in the BB. Flop comes Q97 rainbow. Superdonk checks, as do I, fully intending to check raise anybody who bets the flop. Jerry bets out, Nik folds along with the Superdonk, and I check raise. Jerry just calls. Pretty obv that he has AK here. A 3 hits the turn and I lead and he folds. Yep, I check raised Dr. Buss and took it down. I had some suspicion that he felt bad for us and just folded and let us play our game and didn’t our mere pocket change.

Reb (67) eventually took SD’s seat in the 2 and we BS’d a while and I got up and then just continued to drink Grey Goose and Hypnotic. Somewhere around 2 or 3 I called it a night and headed back to Harrah’s.
Also Shifty cashed up a level for some where around 3.5k and then took down the $175 SNG for another 1k. Shifty is owning LV so far (recurring theme of the trip).

Saturday June 13 – 6 Hours of 10/20 and Life Failing at Horse Betting

After French Toast at the Deli for the 2nd time, Shabba, Nik, Pika, Deuce, Shifty, and I each shipped the Mirage Sports book $20 for some degen horse betting. Oh well it was an interesting way to spend 2 hours.

It was classic to hear Shabba screaming, “For the Love of God Goooo.” Repeatedly as our horse fell back in the pack every single race, lol horse betting I guess.

After the burning of the $20, all the guys except me decided to go play the Venetian $120. I stayed at the Mirage and play the 10/20 for about 6 hours. What really sucks about the Mirage is that they had 3 tables of 10/20 going at one point. A must must move, into a must move, into a main game. I played at the must move table for about 5 hours and was up about $350 or so but once I got moved to the main game it was with a bunch of old nits and I just whiffed for an hour and came down to up only $35 for 6 hours, gay gay gay.

The middling limit games like the 10/20 there was not a lot of live ones in the main game. At the must move there was probably 4 bad players who donated and then got stacked and left which was unfortunated.

1 HH for the session it was pretty weird I was pretty much abusing my image of being pretty TAG although I was blind stealing pretty liberally and opening fairly light in position of course.

Folded to me in MP w/ two black 5’s I raise, and am called by the button SB, and BB. Flop comes AJ4 all check to me, I fire, button folds, as does the SB and the BB calls and obv says the std. one time. I am thinking that he has me beat probably with 77 or is just hoping to see another 4 hit the turn. The Turn ends up being a 6 which is a safe card for me. I didn’t see the BB hitting that so I figure to fire the turn, he tanks and eventually folds and I take it down.

That was about it for the 10/20 session. I eventually met up with the guys at B and played some 4/8 w/ Rambler and Nik for a bit then walked back to Harrah’s around 3 or so.
