March Results

Minus the Bear comes out with a new album May 4th, I am so stoked about that. Here is one of the new songs off of that album:

March was rough, worst month since starting Rush, where I did not get in near as many hands as I would have liked and I also ran absolutely awful. For most of the month, I felt like this:

I finished the month last night in style, running 44 into 99 on a 499 flop and have Qx lose to 88 on Q8x 8 Q. Not too often you can run a boat into quads twice in one session without a tripled up board. So it goes I suppose. I did get a video review done from a friend though and I have some things to work on in my game. I also set it up now so I import first into PT3 to use the very good HUD that PT3 has for Rush and then it imports into HM, so I can use HM to study. PT3 sucks for studying.

I didn't get near the hands this month, because I have spent the bulk of the last week painting the kids' playroom and also making a toy chest for them. It turned out okay I suppose. It would have been better, but it is very difficult to make legitimate straight cuts without having a table saw or anything like that. My tools were a circular saw, a jigsaw, and a router. Not the best tools in the world for making accurate and straight cuts, but it did good enough for now I guess.

Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS)

I have a friend whose mother is suffering from Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS). I am joining her for a walk on April 24th to support ALS fundraising. If you would like to make a donation, it would be more than appreciated and simply click on the link here.

Thank you!

Shite Day

I love days where I drop 10 BIs. Nothing I can do about most of it. Coolers and suckouts galore. Just call with K9s 100 bs deep versus me in 3bet pots, you'll hit and get paid. Or limp T3 so when the flop is T63, we can get it in against my 66 and you can hit a ten on the turn, fun stuff. My favorite by far was a mental error where I meant to type in 2.35 and typed in 23.5. That was cool when I got shoved on and had to fold. fml I love days where my winrate for the month gets chopped in half, yet I never seem to have days where I win 10 BIs. lol

Took several days off to do some stuff on the kids' playroom we are making. It'd be nice to take more time off of poker, but if I want to continue to buy things for that room and pay off debt, it isn't an option.

On a bright note, Michigan State is gonna lose to Tennessee tomorrow, so that is nice. WIn or lose though, they beat Ohio State, which makes me thrilled and the first Elite Eight appearance ever for the Vols kinda makes me feel like we are playing with house money. In any event, Go Vols!

Brag: Jacob said his first word today, which was mama. Pretty exciting, he is learning loads of things all of the sudden. I taught him how to give kisses, which is basically him taking his face and putting it on your cheek, it is pretty cute. He learned to crawl and said his first word all in like 10 days. Too awesome.

Beat: Since the first thing out of his mouth was not "Ship the cookies", I do not get half of dodgy's bankroll. Damn.

Variance: Redoing a couple of rooms in the house to prepare for baby #2 kills poker time.

"I said you LOVE the cock. I must be the craftiest motherfucker alive."

Nice repeated cross checks from Sidney Crosby to Zetterberg after the game. Stay classy Crosby.

"I can't believe I'm gonna get ..."

some pussy for stealin' the monkey. (laughs) Stealin' the little monkey. Man, if I woulda known that, I would have been stealin' monkeys since I was like, seven and shit."

Pretty solid week. Not happy with the results, but hey, variance happens. I made some plays where I think I should have folded instead of calling, specifically on the river, so I need to shore that up quickly, since it is the most expensive street obviously and all mistakes there are magnified.

My volume was lacking for the week, my lowest since I started playing rush. But I had many many things to do this week. We bought some new patio furniture and I bought a wet vac. I cleaned up my man room, since the dog is often in here with me and he has been making it quite dirty. Worked like a dream. I did a lot of cleaning Thursday through Saturday morning and a lot of housework too. Just been busy. This week should be lighter.

Edit: Played another session since I was feeling good about my game and was awake and whatnot. Promptly dropped over 4 BIs in the session to have a - 7 BI day and a losing week. KK into AA, QQ into AA, QQ into a backraised 88, of course he hits quads on the flop. More and more I don't feel like typing. It is so fucking frustrating to have a great month going and then have it ruined in a couple of fucking days.
