I bought a wireless mouse for $32. This means I won't be playing 2000 hands again using the touchpad.

Girlfriend: Why are the werewolves more important than living life?!

Girlfriend: Are you on the forums doing the werewolves again?

Girlfriend: Soo... you forgot to run that errand, but you had time to werewolf? Wtf?

I was so tilted after running like dogshit and playing horribly online. My tilt and poor play even carried over to the 1/2 game for the 3 hours when I first got there. Logically, I moved up in stakes to win my money back.

A few hands:

1) 9-Handed

Hero in MP: $1400
Shorty on my left folding 90% of hands: $100
CO: $1350

Folds to me
Hero raises to $25 with

Shorty ships $100

Hero bets $100
CO bets $300
I ship for $950 more
Villain snap calls but doesn't show just yet

I temporarily shit my pants but then CO shows

2) 7-Handed

Hero on Button with

I felt blah and decided not to put the online session in.
On my 2nd hand at Aria I was dealt 84s and doubled through KK at the 1/3 game. 30 Minutes later I joined my roomie at the 2/5 game and decided to get super drunk and belligerent and lose a bit on the night. I subconscious celebration for running so good imo.

Saturday:

Live:

13 Hours at the MGM. 4 Hours playing 1/2 and the rest was 2/5. I played very well the entire night but ended up losing -$840 in the end. I was down $1200 at one point, built it up to a profit of $200, then in 5 hands 6 handed I was dealt: AKo, QQ, AKs, 66, and A5s. -$850 during those hands, didn't play another. I was so tilted because I was so proud of the way I had played, winning everything back and then some, all to be lost with a brutal 5 hand stretch. The following is the first of those 5 hands:

2/5 game 7 handed

Hero is SB with

and $1700
UTG has a stack of $1500

UTG limps
MP calls
Folds to me and I make it $25, could have made it more obv
Folds to UTG who raises to $105
Folds to me

It's important to note that UTG is my Vegas buddy that I'm sharing a room with. We've become very good friends and I'm yet to be in Vegas without him as my roomie. His limping range here is a variety of hands but I'd rather not disclose that entire range, although I'm very familiar with it. However, I will say that his UTG LR range is exactly AA, KK, AK, and sometimes AQ. I almost folded pre because It will be very difficult to turn the hand into a profitable one unless he has AQ and I hit the flop with one of the remaining 5 cards left in the deck. Anyways, I call. 3 Betting is out of the question IMO.

Flop ($220):

At this point I'm thinking to myself: "WTF am I getting myself into here?"

Hero checks

"Leading doesn't accomplish anything other than getting AQ to not cbet."

UTG bets $125

"AQ isn't going to fire a 2nd time and maybe I can push a chop off of this flop with a CR."

Hero raises to $350

"If he jams, I'm folding. A jam = AA, KK, or AK trying to re-push me off of a chop."

UTG jams for $1050 more

"FML"

Hero folds.
...

The next four hands were stupid and brutal. Not going to get into it.

I was at this point that I decided Iwas tilting hard and that I would lose my remaining $650 if I stayed, probably. I'm very proud of recognizing my tilt, largely due to the fact that I was playing 13 hours at that point (I could easily do more but the problem at this point is that tilt is much easier to create and eliminate). So I racked up and left. Before leaving the casino, I joined my roomie for a smoke break for 10-15 minutes to discuss how I was feeling and the hands that were just played. He really helped turn my frustration into optimism, despite letting me know that he too, had AK.

The biggest pot I had ever lost happened today in the middle of my session:

2/5 10 handed

Hero is SB with

and a $1200 stack
Button has a stack of $750

MP limps
Button limps
Hero raises to $30
MP folds
Button calls

Flop ($70):

Right away I notice that villain looks so upset. He's litterally shaking his head in disappointment. Obviously dude either hates this flop and isn't going to put another chip in, or he sucks at live poker and came in his pants when he saw this gorgeous flop.

Hero bets $60

Villain is reaching for chips and now I'm the one creaming my pants because it looks like the latter of the two possibilities is coming to fruition.

Villain raises to $250
Hero shoves for $670 more
Villain snap calls

Turn ($1500):

"FML. GG. You win"

River is a low club and I want to muck so I can start the next hand. Villain scoops with

BTW Villain was the same guy that I won the biggest pot of my career against, only 3 days prior. Weird huh?

As mentioned previously, My 2 year old Sony Vaio lappy finally went kaput on me. I brought it into a computer store or two and they both mentioned that what's wrong with it is not even worth the price to fix, for the value of the entire thing. So, without further adieu:

System:

Intel Quad @ 2.5GHz
4.00 GB
64-bit Windows 7
Dual Samsung LCD 23" monitors

It's an iCAN from Canada Computers, my new favorite computer store. $1200 After taxes.

Today will be dedicated to downloading all of the necessary pr0n and other standard stuff to get the ball rolling. Also, soccer @ noon, bank, and chicken alfredo linguine for the gf. Oh yeah, she moved in on Sunday and started her first day of work on Monday. Things right now are good on that front and I'm stoked to get back to work. I'll be able to have a 'start-up' session today to get the HUD and stuff in order but may not have a decent session until Sunday at the earliest.

BTW, I broke even playing poker in Vancouver and Las Vegas overall. Not too thrilled about it.

congrats on getting off the laptop. I would have bought a 32 inch monitor and been done with it. I desperately need a new monitor but I'm being cheap about it and waiting until boxing day :P

December was my best month in over a year. Every day was profitable, which is just sick. Attained 200k VPP but did not accomplish my $$ goal for the year. My plan is to do 500k VPP and $100k in 2011 but I'm not going to blog about it. Rather, berate others in theirs.

Have a good year!
