Sidney Crosby

6 comments
is now the man in all of sports I officially love to hate more than anyone. If it wasn't bad enough that he got a cheap BS Cup title, since the NHL refuses to follow clearly defined rules, he scores the GW for Team Canada. Fuck Crosby. Fuck him up his stupid ass. Any other Canadian could have scored the GW and I would not be pissed off about it.

Haven't blogged in a while, figured I'd make a post about a few things. This is most likely a tl;dr with minimal poker content, not sure, we'll see.

- This link is funny.

- This video about that link is even funnier:


- People are complaining about Team Canada's women's hockey team celebration. So let me get this straight. They won the gold. They play women's hockey, so they don't play in the NHL and this is almost certainly the pinnacle of their careers. They are all young and really happy and excited. So they get their cameras and celebrate on the ice? After Team USA left the ice? After all the fans were gone? The arena was empty? They didn't have to drive anywhere? THey had some drinks? Okay, so wtf is the problem? This seems totally fine and acceptable and they never should have had to apologize for it. You don't wanna see that? Then win the fucking gold. Stop being pussies and realize that this is just young people having fun.

- Guitars are fun to play.

- I find out the sex of my next child on Wednesday.

- It is just two weeks until we spring forward an hour, which will allow enough light to hop on my bike again after work. I run hot in sun light?

- I really really want to upgrade to an Epiphone Les Paul Custom guitar, silverburst finish. I need to keep telling myself to pay off debt first.

- I can't stop playing that song above.

- Baseball season is coming soon. That means I get to cheer for 6 months for a shite Detroit TIgers team that does stupid things like trade away young hero Curtis Granderson since we don't have money for him and then we sign Damon, who is a lying sack of shit old fuck for more money than we would have paid Granderson and also sign Valverde for more money than Damon, when we traded for Schlereth, who could have closed. fml

- Poker has not been very good to me this month. However, since it is 50nl Rush, it means that A) I am still good enough even when running awful to profit and not lose and B) the stress is completely non-existent and my overall life is better. Life is good.

- I guess this wasn't really a tl;dr after all. But I probably still just wasted 5 minutes of your life you will never get back. You're welcome.

In Case You Were Wondering ...

I don't post daily results anymore and have deleted all prior blog posts of that nature. I thought it would be fun to see the volume each day and the fluctuations, but honestly it was just tedious and boring. I am sure no one found them interesting, as I thought only I would anyways. Plus, lately I have been running like complete super ultra mega death and I know no one wants to read boring posts about running like shit and bad beats. So I will post a weekly summary on Sundays and then during the week if anything interesting occurs, either in poker or in life.

Go USA!!

February Week 3 Report

0 comments
I am going to give you some bew Minus the Bear for this post. They have a CD due out this year, which I expect to be beyond sick.



I am happy with this week. I feel I played very very well during the week and kept my emotions almost completely in control. The last 8k hands of the month I ran horrificly and I was able to really just brush it off, which was nice. Not that the details are releveant, but it was something like 8 BIs below EV and that doesn't obviously include coolers. These are to be expect though and the only time I tilted and had to stop playing was when I got slowrolled. That I think might piss me off forever. I know too that actions aren't instantaneous in rush poker, because there are a million things going on, but if you are playing for stacks on the river and need to call off the last $9, you don't request time and wait for it to get to 2 seconds before calling w/ T9 on a board of 87645r. I had 9x obv. I have been feeling like shit most of the week, but still able to play quite well, so that is nice.

February Week 2 Report

0 comments
This week went well with respect to poker. I made a few changes that have really helped me improve my game. Some things that are done in the games I used to play just don't apply here to 50nl rush. Things are looing good as fare as that goes.

My volume was weak this week, but there were good reasons for this including major computer issues that are now okay, Valentine's Day, and my wife's birthday. Things will always pop up from time to time, but hopefully they won't be things that are just annoying like the computer issues.

February Week 1 Report

Things are going smoothly for the month as I am right on target for my 60 hours for the month. I expect that I might fall just short this month, as I may be busy during the weekends some this month. However, I do expect in future months to reach 60 hours with those 2-3 extra days. My calculations for RB were right on target at about $600-$700 per month. My winnings were not good at all this week due to 2 horrific days and just running poorly in general. I expect to see the results bounce back my way in the future so long as I keep playing well, trying to improve, and then the uncontrollable things fall in place.
