2007 - Year In Review

Wow, I haven't posted anything on this blog in over a year. Writing a blog about something you do everyday, even though you may like it a lot, can quickly become tedious. There is also an issue of not wanting to educate my opponents, especially as the games have gotten somewhat tougher since the UIGEA. I do, however, think that posting about my hands, in the absence of being able to discuss them with people who's opinions I trust and respect, really helps me with my play, so when I am up for it I will post hands and/or thoughts from time to time.

The past year has been incredibly trying, both in life and in poker.

I lost two of my six siblings months apart after having been out of contact with them for more than ten years. Watching a loved one die is not something you get over quickly, and though it happened in June it's still as though I was in that hospital room just hours ago. It may or may not be related, but after shaving my head at least once a week for about 12 years straight, I decided to let it grow out so I could actually have a functional haircut and discovered I am already going grey. I'm 27 ferfucksakes.

On the poker side it was an ok year. There were some extended periods of running bad which led to bad play and I don't feel I've grown much as a player, but I can only believe that 2008, in both life and poker, will be a better year.

One thing that has definitely gotten worse in regards to my poker play is bet sizing. I've playing pretty much 100% on Full Tilt the last three months and the 'Bet Pot' button has resulted in much laziness, which has caused sloppy play and goofy bluffs when I easily could have won the pot by betting smaller on previous streets. MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY!!! No more bet pot button for me.

BOOMSWITCH

Very small sample obviously, but it's difficult to log tons of hands on party when there is only one $200 PLO table going at any given time on Party and I have hardly played this month. Check out that monster VP$IP. The games are so loose passive that it is profitable to play almost anything. Other than opening and 3 betting, I didn't make a single pot sized raise preflop over the course of these hands. Mostly I'm raising 3-5BB with some pretty speculative hands, bluffing occasionally and getting super super paid when I smash the flop. I guess I busted pokertracker because no, my WTSD is not 141%. PFR should be quite a bit higher, around 40%. but it dipped drastically over the last 250 hands or so of my session tonight when the table became infested with shortstacks.

Tonight was the swingiest session I've had in a long time. At one point I was stuck $1600 between $200 NLHE and PLO, none of it due to tilt. Within a couple hours I rebounded and booked a $1200 profit, which is good, because I am fiending to buy a Wii. I don't know why but I wannnnnnts it.

This is how good the games are on party right now: (Thank you Bill Frist, you sack of donkey cum)

And now for a public service announcement...

What is best in life? THE MOTHERFUCKING WIRE.

I am a huge media whore. I probably have somewhere around a 1000 books, 3000 comic books and graphic novels, 8 magazine subscriptions, a 60GB Ipod that is all full up, every currently available video game system and I madly download just about every decent television show on a regular basis. I would give up every single one of these cherished items just to watch a single episode of the Wire. Fuck that, a single motherfucking scene.

The Wire has been claimed by many to be the single best television show of our generation. They are not reaching far enough. It is the best fucking anything ever. Better then your first blowjob, your last cigarette, or the first time you scooped a $2000 pot.

What is The Wire? It's a cop/gansgta drama set in current day Baltimore. The viewer, through five seasons, has follow the day to day lives of police, bangers, politicians, junkies and all of the people they cross paths with. The Wire examines the entire American system, from drugs laws to education reform, at a microscopic level.

Plus there's this badass motherfucker named Omar that I would love to be when I grow up, except for the whole gay thing. That's Beset's ambition.

The following is quoted from the very first episode of season 1, and I think it's a pretty good indication of strength of the acting, direction and writing on The Wire:

The episode opens with Detective McNulty questioning a homicide witness in the street, sitting on the curb a few feet away from the body.

McNulty: "So your boy's name is what?"
Banger: "Snot"
McNulty:"You call the guy snot?"
Banger:"Snot Boogie, yeah"
McNulty:"Snot Boogie... he like the name?"
Banger:"what?"
McNulty:"Snot Boogie... this kid, who's momma went to the trouble to christen him Omar Isiah Betts... you know, he forgets his jacket, so his nose starts running, and some fucker, instead of giving him a kleenex, he calls him Snot."
McNulty:"So he's Snot forever. Doesn't seem fair."
Banger:"Life just be that way I guess."

McNulty:"So... who shot Snot?"
Banger:"I ain't going to no court. Mothafucka didn't have to put no cap in him though."
McNulty:"Definitely not."
Banger:"I mean he coulda just whipped his ass like we always whipped his ass."
McNulty:"I agree with you"
Banger:"Gonna kill Snot, Snot bein doin the same shit for I don't know how long... kill a man over some bulllshit"
Banger: "Look, I'm saying... ever friday night, in the alley behind the cutrate, we rollin bones, you know, I mean all them boys from around the way and we roll till late."
McNulty:"Family crap game right?"
Banger: "Like every time, Snot, he fade a few shooters, play it out till the pots deep, then snatch and run."
McNulty:"What, every time?"
Banger:"Couldn't help himself."
McNulty:"Let me understand you... every Friday you and your boys would shoot crap, right? And every Friday night, your pal Snot Boogie, he'd wait until there was cash on the ground, then he would grab the money and run away? You let him do that?"
Banger:"We'd catch him and beat his ass, but ain't nobody never go past that."
McNulty:"I gotta ask you... if every time Snot Boogie would grab the money and run away, why'd you even let him in the game?"
Banger:"What?"
McNulty:"Well if Snot Boogie always stole the money, why'd you let him play?"
Banger: "Got to."
Banger: "This America man."


The series is currently in it's 4th season and I think episode 6 just aired in the US. In one of the greatest piracy coups ever, someone managed to get the entire 4th season online in the last week. I have now watched the entire season well ahead of the actual release dates and I am fucking fiending for more.

Get out there and buy the DVD's. Download the show if you have to but make sure you spend some cash on this show at some point. These people deserve your money. Do not, I repeat, do not, watch the series out of order. It is incredibly densely plotted, with plot points from the first season paying off in subsequent seasons.
If you don't like the first episode, keep watching. What seems simple and possibly boring at first will come to fascinate you as the plot unravels. Pay attention. This is not a show you can watch out the corner of your eye while playing 360 or jerking it to the latest Lohan nipple slips.

And the award for SpewMonkey 2006 goes to....

Carddead for this entire SNG. Played exactly one hand prior to this. A shortstack moved in on the button for 950 or so and I called with AK. A5 flopped two fives and half my stack was blown. I was looking for any reasonable hand to put my last two BB's in with on the bubble and then this happened.

FOLD Hero Yay me, I have a hand I can actualy fold. I am probably calling with about 60% of my hands here, including any pair, any ace, any king, Q8 or better, J8 or better and maybe some suited connectory (is that a word) kind of hands, hoping to be live.
ALL-IN zac777 UMM WHAT? The original raiser had been playing pretty tight and the caller was even tighter. I was desparately hoping party handed me some kind of miracle AA vs KK situation.

FOLD tlbcaptain

River:

MegaB1te shows [ ] a pair of threes .
zac777 shows [ ] a pair of threes .
zac777 wins 2300 chips from side pot #1 with a pair of threes with ace kicker .
zac777 wins 13880 chips from the main pot with a pair of threes with ace kicker .
MegaB1te finished in fourth place.

OKAY! WTF is going on here? Megab1te pushes with KJ UTG to steal blinds that amount to about 9% of his stack. His push is completely retarded as there is an 8BB and a 2BB stack at the table. Both of us are calling with a huge range of hands because we have little choice. He could have raised to 1000 or maybe 1200 and evaluated from that point, but that would not have gotten me into the money, so thank you Megab1te.

Then onto the call. Zac777 risks most of his stack in a bubble situation when he is about 44% to win against a range of hands including AA-22, AQ and AK. Unless he has a pretty good read on Megab1tes pushing range there I think he can fold his AK pretty safely. If he loses the hand, he's got like 6BB's left. He already has a good sized stack and can steal blinds pretty aggressively. Some people may be able to come up with ICM numbers that show AK as an easy call but I personally think he could easily have folded.

So I ended up squeaking into the money, got all in vs the second shortstack on the next hand and my 33 held up against J5, then pushed again with K2s against his BB. He called with Q6, I turned a 2, and I secured second place. I actually managed to build my stack up to 8000 or so when AK=thenuts guy pushed my BB with A2 against my 77 and rivered an ace. Oh well, $300 I wasn't supposed to have anyway.

TheRempel VS Beset: HU FOR BANKROLLS

Last year around this time Beset and I did a 7 SNG challenge. 6 different games:
Limit Hold'Em - TheRempel won in a stunning upset. I have played probably 100 hands of LHE in my entire life.
No-Limit Hold'Em - I won again, what a surprise mr professional NL player.
Pot-Limit Omaha - We played this twice. I think we were planning on playing Razz, but it was before either of us played on Full Tilt and there was no Razz on Stars at that time. We each won once. Beset lucksacked his win as usual.
Limit Omaha-8 - I was clueless and he lucksacked I am sure, so he squeaked one out.
Stud - Beset managed another lucksacking (stud is the game other than HE and PLO that I am most familiar with). I remember at least one hand where he capped 5th with a pair of 6's against my (XX)KJT8 board and caught a running flush.
Stud H/L - The tiebreaker. Two words: BESET MOTHERFUCKING OWNED. Okay that's three or four words, but you get the point.

So tonight I'm bored and I wanna do some foolish slightly -EV gambooling. Beset agrees to one flip for $25 at a private table. For people who don't read 2+2, that means we both sit down with $25 and put all the money in preflop no matter what we have.

Here's how the initial hand went down:

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
2 players

Pre-flop: (2 players) TheRempel is BB with as 7h
Beset raises all-in $24.9, TheRempel calls all-in $24.75.

Flop: 3h tc 5c ($50, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $50)
Turn: 6c ($50, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $50)
River: kc ($50, 0 player + 2 all-in - Main pot: $50)

Results:
Final pot: $50
Beset shows 2c 9d (a fucking flush)
TheRempel doesn't show As 7h (ace goddamnmotherfucking high)

So that wasn't good enough. I have quit when behind once in my life and that's because I sobered up and realised she was my cousin.
