Quick Bio

After many years of going to school and saying no to drugs I graduated with a degree!  Little did I know it would lead me to being beaten into the ground at the hands of a soulless corporation.  After 3 years I quit to play poker professionally.  I've now been full-time over 7 years, yet revenge is still in the air.  It's crazy to look back and realize I started this blog as I was simply 'pumping myself up' to quit the real world and go full time.  Now I also do some writing for fun as a 'day job' (some freelance and paid, but an insignificant sum compared to 5/10 live) and airbnb my place when I don't feel like playing as much.

Sunday Revenge (5/9/2011)

Just finished up a Sunday night session up +1500 in 4 hours salvaging the week I suppose. Biggest pot was over $1500 dragged with 34o!!!  I elected to steal the blinds from the button with my monster 34o. This was a game-flow play where I was going to steal with any two there. My plan was to show a bluff and steal a small pot with the right texture. Big blind calls.

Flop: 5h 6s, 7h

Hey it's a straight! I pot bet the flop like I'm stealing, villain calls. Villain is a middle aged Asian male who is not afraid to stack off with 2nd best. Turn: black king

Villain check raises and then it's a shove fest. I wasn't folding. I thought he never smooth calls the flop with 89 here and I picked up a classic tell where I thought he was weak. After he check raised the turn huge I shoved all in. The crazy SOB snap cold called the last $400 without a made hand.

River 6d Villain shows 4h 6h. 34o to save the week!!  I enjoyed not getting sucked out for once.
