Street3

The twitter poker tour is a group of poker players that met on twitter and set up a weekly game.  Through the course of playing, they have also helped put a bad beat on cancer by settting up tournaments that donate to help cancer research.  This Sunday (Feb 21st), they have set up 3 tournaments to help fight cancer.   Information can be found below.  Many thanks go out to Geoff Manning http://twitter.com/cprpoker) and Paul Ellis http://twitter.com/coolwhipflea) for setting up these events.

The following screen shots depict my ability to run bad on 02/08/2010

I was short so i limped, intending to shove the flop no matter what, i got a great flop so i thought.  22 called my flop shove.

Of course i flop trips and check the flop.  He caught up.  FML.

Here i have less than 10 BB’s so it’s folded to me, i shove, 99 calls and the rest is Street3 history.  FML.  Out 5 from the money.

IDK what to say about this shit other than yes, that donkey called my preflop raise.

We were in the money, i shove short and chip leader calls. OBV what happens.

After a quick nap from 2:30 am to about 8:30, i wanted to see if the bad beats took a break…..see for yourself!

He shoved short, i called.  Of course he hit, no worries, i still had lots of chips left!!!……..Well, until two hands later when this shit happened:

AFter the flop, i shoved.  He called…he was ahead, then he wasn’t!!!  Then he was again

Of course he called the preflop raise and hell yeah he check raised all in on the flop.  NOTE:  I tried this same manuever in a latter SNG only to not hit.  WTF….oh well, stay tuned for more!!!

Undeniable proof that A4o is in fact the fucking NUTS!  Call raises with them, definately see the turn and river!!

And like a sucker i thought you dump A4o to a raise….who knew….certaintly this cannot happen twice in 20 minutes….can it???

Nevermind that i shove the flop….nevermind that he called….all that matters is FTP hates me.

Now proof that what works for others, does not work for me.  Take Case 1, below:

After a 3bet, 4bet, 5bet shove, call, all the chips go in preflop.  Of course i have him dominated!  I’m 70% fav to win the hand….but the fucking 3 outer hits and sends me to another table…….

Hey here is another scenerio, but this time, i am the obv dog preflop!  Same shit as before right? I’ll hit the Ace on the flop!  Nope.  On the turn?  Hell no!  On the river?  Fuck no.  I tell ya, it’s beyond funny now, how bad i can run!

Another season of the Real World is upon us and we all know what that means:  It’s time for a bunch of fucking confused 20 somethings to live in a house, fuck each other, lie to each other, cry, bitch, moan, get into fights, bitch about working or not working, etc….I’ve watched all of 15 minutes of the first show and have listed the cast below and a brief bio for your information.

  -  Andrew:  A fucking 20 something virgin who is not funny, not witty and completly fucking retarded.

 - Ashely:  Ms “Fucking Knows Everything”, also a whore.

- Callie:  The small  town girl that probably fucked everyone in her small town, twice.

 - Emily:  Oh lord, this bitch is “religious” and “lives and breathes” the bible….well, i guess living and breathing the bible means fucking every guy AND girl she comes in contact with. 

 - Eric:  Relegious, confused man fucker.  Plays pitcher and catcher on the ball team. 

 - Erika:  *shudders*  She only fucks guys with tattoos and piercings, which is about 95% of the male population.  Also a “musician”, if you haven’t downloaded any of her songs on Itunes, don’t worry, she hasn’t recorded any.  Note to Erika, just because you “like” music, it doesn’t make you a “musician”.  Dumb cunt.  She is also a whore.

 - Ty:  Or Token.  ‘Nuff said.

 - Josh:  This guy is also a “musician”.  He is the female Erika.  He also has never recorded any music.  He has tattoos! His I.Q. may be negative.

Throughout life we come across situations that change our direction.  They can be as simple as something we read or as devastating as the loss of a loved one.  They can cause us to drastically change our way of life or slightly alter the path we are on.  Each of us can remember countless times where something we did or didn’t do has led us to a place we may not have found otherwise.  In school, a simple conversation with a counselor or teacher may lead to a different area of study.  In work, a new project may provide different skills sets to master. 

No matter what or where these situations occur, they nevertheless have impacted our lives in various ways.  Some say these are predetermined and we were meant to experience them, others say there is no order to the choas and everything happens in an instant, no cosmic forces worked their magic to put all the characters in place.   Arguments can be made to support either side and nobody can say for certain which is right or wrong.  As a race can we really be happy knowing we serve no real purpose or that no matter what we say or do, our lives are meaningless in the grand scheme of things?  Or can we really be happy if we know that every little action can have devestating effects on the rest of our lives?  That may be an extreme statement as surely nobody believes they are that “important” and that every thing they do effects everyone on the planet.  So what are we to believe? Are our lives predetermined or are we completely random and thus inconsequential to each other and the world?  

From the beginning of our time here until the last remains of our civilizations are but a faint memory of wind and dust, each of us are characters with specific roles to play.  Some may have only one role, others can have many.  Some roles may seem insignificant while others are life changing.  Theycan range from the role the teacher that steers a student toward the science that cures cancer.  The teacher’s role may seem insignificant at first, but the end result is life changing.  I believe these roles to be forecast and our souls carry these purposes with them into our world.  So in one sense i am saying that yes our lives are predetermined, but not so in such a cut and dry way.  While our roles are predetermined, who we are and what we are when it’s tim e to execute these roles is entirely up to us.  This is where our “free will” comes into play and while it has no adverse effects on the outscome, it can drastically change who or what we are when that time comes.   If im destined to save a person’s life on August 29, 2012, then no matter what i do from the time of my birth until that day will change the fact that i will be there to save that person’s life.  What changes is this: how i save them, where i save them, the circumstances around their situation.  What really matters is that i will be there.  It doesn’t matter who i am or what i am doing with my life, i will be there.  I could be a homeless man or a sports superstar, the fact remains that i will be there when i need to be. 

I just believe that as insignificant as we might seem, each of us has a purpose or multiple purposes that,while unknown or even aware of, are as important as the greatest inventions or acts of heroism throughout history.  Nobody should ever feel they are unimportant or not needed.   Each of us is more important than we can imagine or comprehend and our lives have meaning and signficance to those around us now and in the future.

I need a job

Laid off, got my mind on my money and no money coming in…..laid off….doh.

I beat Andy Bloch in a hand of poker last night. One hand, my K 10 beat his Q9 when neither of us paired the board.  Therefore, i rule. I should turn pro. Sponorship offers welcomed.  Thanks.

I played a 90 player SNG on FTP, i won it.  Here’s photoshopped proof.  http://twitpic.com/1eiau

Here are the actually results from a highly contested game of Uno.

As the action came to me, i again looked at my drooling brother, then at my cards.  I grabbed the Red Skip card, yelled out “YOUR SKIPPED…BIIIIIIITTTTTTTCHHHHHHHHHH!”

He stared bewildered at the red skip and drooled more.  The action came back to me and as fate would have it, the color was changed to Yellow.  My only option was to play the Draw Four.  As i slammed the card down, i looked him in the eyes and muttered these words:  “Draw 4 fucker”. 

The game continued on for three more rounds, my brother was never able to recover, coming so close to going out, only to end the game with a total 45 points in his hand.   I didn’t win that hand, but i won the battle against my brother and to me, that was better than winning the game itself.

Okay people, it’s hand analysis time, ala @cprpoker’s site.

I am Hero, playing in a live game.  I am the button and action comes to me.  The board is showing a Red 8.  I have in my hand 5 cards.

• A red Skip
• A blue 8
• A Draw Four
• 2 Green cards (2, 9)

The player to my right (my brother) has only one card remaining.  I called UNO, but the sonofabitch swore he called it before me.  But that is neither here nor there.  Anyway, he’s drooling like a tard, which is either because he has a red card, an 8 or is simply an idiot.  I have reason to beleive all three. 

So, my options are as follow:

• Play the Red Skip which skips his turn
• Play the Blue 8 changing the color and hoping he does not have an 8 or a blue card
• Risk all and play the Draw Four, which according to the rules, i cannot do while holding a playable color or number card. 

What should i do?  Please comment below.  Later I will post the results.
