Road to Perdition

I only got 4 hours rest before I went to bed, so I was pretty tired to go and almost didn't. But I told Paul I wanted a ride the day before, so I just went. THAT WAS THE 1ST MISTAKE ( I wanted to read a little more info on limit) Paul asked me if I had seen what was outside, and I responded no of coarse, since I don't see the outside very often. I'm like a cat that hisses when it feels like it is threatened. He showed me a mountain of snow outside and so we put on the snow chains for my wheelchair and off we were! The salt from truckers tires got all over Paul's window when we were driving, and the washer fluid wasn't squirting high enough to clean the window, so we pretty much Ace Ventura'ed it all the way to the next gas station, with a couple wrong exits and turns in the mix, but we finally got to the club; body parts still attached.

I ate my usual brakefast and off the the tables I was! The table I was at pretty much sucked after my first hand (so far every time I sat down at a table for the first time, I win the pot) because there were two maniacs at the table. So there was no seeing a flop with out it being raised at least once preflop. Half the time it was capped! I played when I had good cards to play and of coarse it was capped preflop by this d00d named chester, but I flop a nut flush. Of coarse the pot is capped almost every turn, and he gets his 2 outer on the river on me. So I put my name on the board to move to a different seat as fast as I could.

I got to the next table and this table was even worse! Every hand I would play I would get sucked out on the river! It happened so much the dealer was like, "man, you've been having horrible beats man you should take a brake." It was good advice because I was starting to steam then and he simmered it down a little....... but not enough. I started loosining my starting hands and started calling turns and rivers when I should've just folded, and had the patience to get premium hands. So, I was definately not playing my A-game after all those beats, and playing marginal hands after getting beat all those times, made me loose double when I should've just lost on the bad beats. I actually didn't win a hand until after sitting there for 2 hours, because I either got beat on the river or the hands were just so terrible that I had to just fold and be gone with the hands. and that just lost me more money. Like I said before and I'll say it again, Limit and No Limit are poker games the they play like night and day compared to the two.

In the end I came out negative, but walked out with some valuable, but expensive lessons. Lets hope they pay off!

Preboot Camp

I'm back here for round two of the Canterbury Park mission, and going to invest my time and Bankroll towards limit for now, and I think it's going to be a very good investment at that. I've been here for about 5 days now getting all situated and I wanted to catch up on some knowledge before I sit back down again. Not that I couldn't sit down right now, I just wanted to be prepared for everything and anything, especially getting every extra ducket that I can in the pot.

The Wolf, my bro and me have been all crammed up in one room for the past 4 days because Paul didn't come up until later, but finally arrived today at 6am. I stayed up until he came, and then had a little session before bedtime. My bro and I just got done rearranging our room, so we are all situated now and I'm just waiting for his ass to get home from the gym, so I can grip on some food. He actually goes to the gym after he works for 10 hours! Reason why is so he whole body doesn't get outta wack, because he only uses certain muscles while working. I guess he don't want to look like Popeye. My plan is to hit up the Park on saturday and try and work my mojo. Saturday is always a good day for the bones to be rollin. Hopefully my way!

Until then...
