my wife is the most wonderful wife ever.

ok i hate social networking sites because theres like thirty five thousand of them and i cant even stand to log into email most days. so, i got flock and i updated my profile on here, and then i even have this freaky blog editor thing on here to post this stuff. pretty sweet.

i want everyone to check out my new house mix, especially now that we are in the age of rapidshit and everyone can get it in like two seconds. give it a chance and listen for a decent amount of time, if you like house you'll be jamming to it soon enough:

updated user pictures by mandi, they're pretty cool.

two trance parties down and 982329873498734 to go. if you need a cheap ass dj in the atx, call meh :P

i don't even remember my last post.

I'm engaged to Mandi, and love her more than anything. Real life has gripped ahold of me and not let go, basically, and i've quit really using the internet for more than an information source in the mornings and evenings. I've made some brackets, at least! I work hard, and I'm doing fairly well for myself.

Now, it's time to go again. There are many other ways to contact me, if you wish.

Winter Bourbon Cask Ale. Call your local beer run and ask for it today.


That is all, return to WoW and poker and everything else worth wasting time on.

since my bday passed, and xmas is coming, i had to think of something material i wanted. i came up with this:

Grey BPM.103 BPM Counter

yeah, that and a new ignition switch/electrical fixes for my car.

ok, quick update. i have two jobs, and mandi has received a second job offer that she may or may not take. i also found some poker games around here when i have $30-50 to blow that might be fairly profitable. other than that, i should have the internet again in a couple of weeks, i think.

ttyl.

yeah man! i've moved (to austin, for the uninformed)!

i've got some pictures, but mandi will post those when we get the internet.

the deal so far is, we've got no internet, but antenna tv gives us pretty good channels. got elec/water, and the a/c is great. Mandi got a job at the dollar store, she starts this week, while i've got to go talk to some more people and apply for 2-3 more jobs this afternoon. Hopefully Blockbuster calls me back though, because i definitely deserve an easy job like that.

I'd be working on some other jobs via the internet, but gmail is down! wtf!!! either mail me through myspace, or i'll check thealamackAThotmail.com eventually. i need a small buy-in single/multi table holdem tournament here baaaad, gotta get my bankroll up! :)

i'll have more to talk about, but as for now i have to go down to the post office and apply. pz.

what happened to dennis miller...

in a semi-retrospective nutshell

and you can talk with me if i'm on and see your im in a stupid "web app". its jabber, so hopefully soon i can just use gaim to connect to it and get the service. until then, try me!

my space

damn.

got to the last two of us, and he has to raise and reraise like a fucking nut on a tree.

at one point i had him at my 212k vs his 98k but blew that on the next hand like a momo.

i'm going to get a good headsup strategy soon enough, but for now i tried my ass off.

so there it was.

my Qs8s.
he calls my big blind.
i go all in, he matches.

flop comes 8c2h5d, i say whew...
then...

oh well, i dont claim bad beats, i just analyze and learn...apparently its working, i won $10 on a freeroll, 2nd out of 273 entrants!

look at THIS final table buddy!


(click to enlarge)

let's pray to the god of luck for some more sweet sweet winning!

so, today was the first time i tried playing two tables at once on purpose seriously, as opposed to entering a 2nd freeroll just because i was falling behind in chips on the first, or because i wanted to try some crazy new strategy. before i knew it, i was so hot on the 2nd table that i fell a bit behind in my 1st! fucked off some money in my 1st there for a bit, and felt the tilt coming on, but alas, all i had to do was look at my chiplead on the 2nd tournament and switch over, then it all went away! i think two at a time is the way to go from now on.

As for the results, I was pretty above-average in chips on the 2nd tournament, and staying average in the 1st, when some big stack entered my table in the 2nd and immediately goes all in. I had paired J on the flop, but there was a K on the board as well, and that's when he made his move. Dumb me, gonna call this guy for a sucker, when he had me fucked three ways from sunday! Oh well, then i turned that off and went back to the first tournament.

In the first, I go from above average, to average, to below once it gets down to 22 players. I played it tight, stole some blinds to keep up the ante, and stayed in until the final table. Table gets down to 6 players, and I get handed a low pocket pair in the small blind. I call, then get raised all-in, and call that. Fuck this, man, I gotta get the cash now...so...long story short:

me: 33
him: KQo

flop: TA6 rainbow, then...




4...




J!

bastard river!! but, sweet part is, i won $2.50 in 6th for zero dollars and zero cents. I will win it all soon enough, especially if i multitable like this more often, my time will definitely come. Every fall I have out of a tournament teaches me something, and this is no different...although here, i didn't mind how i played. Coulda backed down, but just thinking about it now, I dont even know if i'm recalling the hand history correctly! I'll have to leave the window open for a bit next time, eh?

three freerolls today:
30th out of 412
18th out of 392
10th out of 330 (stupid me thinking they're bluffing me again!)

most of my losses today were to try and "beat the bluff" heads up on a hand vs the biggest stack, and losing. oh well! took my two cashes and blew em on playing a six handed game that i got 3rd in cuz i did...pretty much the same thing. oh well, live and learn! i can feel that i'm definitely getting better each time though, so i don't care about using the cash on a real money short hand game.

mandi says:: And as long as he listens to me, he wins!

play with me "exclusively" at pitbull poker. lol, just wanted to say that!

if anyone can find a place on the net to sneak some Rickard's Red across the border from canada, or a canadian willing to mail me some, comment me. i think i'll just ask my .ca friends, though.
