Staying Local

I played a home game of sorts last night.
I got to play with Wendell Barnes who finished 7th at the wsopc 10k event .
$50 buy in for 2k in chips with 1 $50 rebuy and 1 $50 addon for 2k in chips.
The structure was very good with 25 min levels blinds starting at 25/25

I am really happy with the way I played. I had Wendell to my imidiate left for about the first 90 min or so till the table broke and Generally tried to stay out of his way.

couple of notable hands were
I was the dealer
and was dealt K10h
flop comes QJ9h
it gets checked around to the Hijak who bets 300 or so and I call
turn is a blank, check check.
river is a blank he bets about half the pot and I raise to 2k
he folds and I show it. he actually had the Ah.

I tried to play tight aggresive since people would call with pretty much anything.
got it all in with 99 against KQ and chipped up.

Got it all in again with KK what the person 2 to my right jammed with AQ.
and doubled up to about 15k.
which was probably 2nd in chips at the time. with like 13 to go.
I just hung around picking up pots that no one wanted and waited
and waited and waited and waited and waited and waited.
finally picked up 99 again raised and somone pushed for about 5k.
I call and he has KJ catches his J and I am down to about 10k.

just hung around letting everyone else knock heads.

finally down to 6 with 4 getting paid and I am in the big blind 800/1600
everyone folds to the sb who completes, I then push for like 7500 more
with a10d and he insta calls with a slow played AK and IGHN.

I am happy with the way I played even the last hand since this player had been in alot of pots.
Wendell did tell me after he would have done the same thing since he didn't put him on Ak
and that made me feel alittle better. Knowing that I didn't fuck it up.
My Buddy Brian who was short stacked the whole final table just hung around and slid into 4th.

home Game

Played at a Home game last saturday with a bunch of friends.
$20 Sng's first with 6 peeps and the 2nd with 8.

ended up chopping both games. +110
If I can stay patient (thats a big if) these games are pretty easy.
most people just play their cards. but they will not make a big bluff.
If they raise they usually have what they represent.

back to it

I had hand surgery so I wasn't posting for awhile.
but now I am Back at it.

I had a bad run of cards 2 weeks ago which
Killed my roll so I dropped down in limits till I felt
I was playing better.
1/2 limit is a tough grind thats for sure.

I do feel that i am playing better again so I am back to 2/4 and 3/6 But
if there is a good 1/2 game i will get in there and donk it up with the rest of them.
I am trying to use better table selection when playing.

Yeah Baby!!!!!

I actually managed to win one of these things in only my 2nd try at them. I finshed 45th the night before but thought they were pretty easy.

So you ask what it takes. well these are my thoughts.

#1 Play tight early have one Dumbass Push Monkey at your table to double up off of.

#2 Continue to play tight aggressive stealing pots that no one wants.

#3 and probably most important is to win your flips But try not to get into one too early if you can avoid it. (this is a problem for too many players)

#4 Suckout once to put you near the chip lead then start to crush your table. as you get near the money and everyone tightens up.

I will post some hands later when I get home.

Close but no cigar.

I came in 2nd in The Chip Board Road to the World Series II
atleast with a few more decent finishes I can get close to the top 9.

Playoff Time Baby

The NFL Playoffs start today and My New England Patriots Start
thier run at 3 Consecutive Superbowls.

Tonights game should be the easiest of the 4 they will have to win.
but they should prevail in the end.

pats 28
Jaguars 20

Maybe after they win the superbowl they will get the proper respect.

Nominate The Tao of Poker for Best Blog of the Year

I saw this and thought it was worth reposting from Lady Falcons blog.
Pauly has some great writing and deserves to get some support.

Nominate The Tao of Poker for Best Blog of the Year

Hey everyone,

Nominations for the 2006 blog awards are due on Thursday, January 12, 2006. I vote that we all nominate Pauly's blog "The Tao of Poker" for Best American Blog, Best Entertainment Blog, Best Writing in a Blog, and Best Weblog of the Year. The site you need to pull up to get the nomination form is 2006.bloggies.com.

I've been trying to leave messages on others' blogs today -- but I am having difficulties accessing the comments section (some "haloscan" message) of many of the larger blogs (like AlCantHang, Poker Perspectives, Trip Jax, and the Tao of Poker). Must have caught some type of virus from all the fart porn research I've been doing lately....

Anyway, I ask you all to do two things:

1. Go to 2006.bloggies.com and nominate the shit out of Pauly's Tao of Poker Blog. Do this by Tuesday, Jan. 12...the deadline!!!

2. Leave a message on 2-3 other blogs with this same message. If even a few of us do this, eventually our message will reach a wide enough audience that we can get enough votes to make Pauly a real contender.

Thanks so much,

Lady F
