Well, obviously, there is a a BLOG in here...
Where the hell have I been??? Well, to be honest, lots of fucking places in the last 6 months since my last blog entry.
I'll give a little Cliff Notes of what went down my last 2 Vegas trips, trip to Europe, P.E. Exam, and oh yeah teh pokers.
So starting off at the top the June Vegas 67 trip was my longest time spent in Vegas ever, 7 days, 6 nights. That is a long-ass time. Dare I say, too long. It went awesome though. Now since all of the guys on 67 are IRL friends, we found lots to do and talk about outside of degen'ing at the worlds most skill-related poker game...Cap NL Omaha, what a fucking swongfest. The world cup was in full swing, England lost, US won so that made us all happy except for AlbinoKid, who disappeared for a day following England's atrocious performance against Algeria, or Kazakhstan, of Tahiti. Oh, those damned Tahitians what a soccer powerhouse.
As for the poker, it has now pretty evident that the poker economy has evened up with the world economy in that the good 10/20 games of a couple years ago have dried up, and the 8/16 game at Venetian which was semi-decent last January, is now becoming a nit-fest and only a few live ones wanting to gambooool up. I think total overall for the trip, I had a slight loser like $400-$600, mostly from being hit w/ the run bad and card-deadedness the entire trip.
Greatest moment of the trip: Rambler losing CCR at the deli. Like 20 people in unison screaming "Yahhhhhhh!!!" at 3am in the middle of a packed Carnegie deli, soooo epic.
-------
On to my next trip, after returning from the dumpster fire that is Jacksonville, FL, I went to a bachelor part for 2 people. Pokers: +/- $0, meh, Sapphire was epic. It will definitely on the docket for the January trip weee. Everyone had an awesome time I a pretty sure of that. Shifty and my other buddy Nick are now married so big congrats to them.
/bachelor party trip
------
Europe: Where the history comes from.
Well, 2 days after returning from the bachelor party trip, the gf and I boarded a plane for Europe and a hosteling adventure. A quick run down of awesome points/cliff's on the trip along with the place we visited.
Land in Dublin: Proposed to Girlfriend, she said yes :fistpump:
London: Sick ass place, possible site of future 67suited forum meet, so clean, easy to get around, great eats/beer. Met up w/ Albino Kid and HG. Such great times. Thx guys for making it down to London.
France: Calais & Paris. FUCK YOU FRANCE...in the words of ahhhhhsht, "I hope you all get cancer of the dick and die." Worst.Cuntry.Ever.
Switzerland: Lausanne. Holy fuck this place is awesome, expensive as shit. How expensive you ask??? About $30 at a McDonalds expensive. I love Lausanne, it is incredible, right on Lac Leman, and great people.
Italy: Rome, Florence, Venice. Rome-cheap, dirty, great food, can be seen in a day. Florence, one of the greatest places on earth, best food I have ever eaten, very intimate setting but has the gypsy. Venice, a great place to get lost, and drink lots of cheap wine from a bag.
Austria: Innsbruck. Just like Davis, CA. College town, great breweries, strip clubs galore, and live gambling everywhere. Kick ass zoo as well.
Germany: Augsburg, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Cologne, Munich. All amazing places, met up w/ a friend from SLO, Thomas at Oktoberfest, just like beerfest the movie btw. Rothenburg, medieval village with walls still in tact, great night watchman tour. Cologne, stopped there for a bit, got to see the Dom, such a goth cathedral and pretty sick place.
Belgium: Brussels, Brugges. Waffles, beer, waffles beer, dutch people. Brussels in a town that doesn't wake up until about 11am and doesnt turn off until about 3am. Brugges was kinda meh to be quite from.
Dublin one more time for emPHAsis: Guinness factory tour, drunkards peeing on buses, and more beer.
Fly home. Amazing trip.
------
Well Europe was pretty much all of September, October was pretty much a polar opposite. I studied for 1 month straight for the Professional Engineers exam. Pretty fucking hard test. We will see how I did in like 3 months.
------
Pokers: SD and I had been playing pretty regularly up to the time of the bachelor party trip and I had been doing pretty alright. Took all of September & October off, and finally made my return to the LHE arena a couple weeks ago. November is going decent.
After looking at my records, it looks like I am up an OK amount for the year (for someone who doesn't really play all that often), somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.5-3k. My hourly is about 1.85BB/hr, not Santi like, but I'll take it. I am really looking to start playing more, and improving my game. I really feel that I am looking at the game in a different light and that I am evolving as player, pushing edges in marginal situations where I was pretty unimaginative before.
So, I am going to try and get the blog going again on a pretty regular basis and posting strats at 67.

Vegas in a 7 weeks bitches.

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.

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

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.
