I was trying to erase this other blog I started and just clicked delete this blog without even reading which blog it was, sheesh what a dumbass I am at times or not 100% crisp as some people would say. I'm going to use my computer skillz and see if I can recover some of it at least, so it looks like a have another job on my to do list. On the poker side, I haven't been playing much poker this week mostly because I'm taking a little brake and I feel the Reaper is out there right now. If you don't know what a Reaper is, it's like a Cooler, but only 100 times worse. A reaper doesn't even have to be near you to suck all the luck out of you and make the impossible possible. Like a 1 outter hitting on the river, your nuts being beat by a miracle suckout, getting dealt poop every hand until you finally get a hand like A,3 and go all in and go broke.
Don't fuck with the Reaper!
Well I'm going to get back to this sng I'm playing, and then write down what I have to do tomorrow on my to do list. I have to rent a hotel for the wedding reception next sat. and do some other stuff as well. So keep on doing what you do, and I'll catch you on the flipside!
In the life of a person with a Muscular Dystrophy life and the process of me trying to make something out of nothing, grinding it out playing Poker. And when I need a break from the bad beats; video games, Dj-ing, and making music that you heard of, but can't find anywhere else; and everything else.

more back to back plus one more back
In the basketball world they would call it a three-peat, but in the poker world I don't know what the hell they would call it so I'll just call it back to back to back. I haven't been posting much of the home game events but this one will go in the books. (for me at least)
Ever since we have been playing at my friend Nicks "the hitman" house, no one has ever won 3 times in a row. Of coarse we have had a back to backs before at the hitmans house but no one has hit a back x3 since last saturday that is. I really didn't think I was going to win at all, since I had been up for more than 28hours already. I decided to just stay up and not take a 2-3 hours nap because I'm not good at all with naps; when I sleep I sleep like a bear needs hibernation in the winter. I'm one of those people that wish sleep was a drug, so you could just take it and get it over with and use up the rest of the day doing whatever, instead of wasting the day away sleeping. But that's not how the world is and instead I sleep as much as I am awake at times. I was pretty much cracked out on not getting much sleep, but I think my game was pretty on, compared to my other motor skillz like talking and other thangs like fumbling my chips. My schedule is pretty much the opposite of a working mans job, since I stay up for 20hrs and then sleep 12hr, but that's the closest I'll ever think I'll get to a schedule but back to the game....
I think the biggest mistake I did was not giving the new player that came to the game enough respect. I was in SB, and the BB had raised it $1.50, blinds were 20/40c at that time. Middle position and Mid-late position also called. I had 5,6d and it was a perfect hand to get in with, since there was 3 other people in the hand, and the flop didn't even hit yet. The flop came 8,5,8 rainbow and raised it $2.50, the BB called and so did Mid position, and mid-late folded. I figured that I had the best hand so far and that the other hands were high cards and on some sort of draw. Then on the turn there was another 8. I have a full house now 8's over 5's and I thought it was a definate lock. So I raised it 7$ and the new player called as well and mid-pos folded. It was then, at that time I knew what he had and I was beaten. So the next card came out and it was a big blank for me, so I just checked. Sure enough he flips over QQ, and scoops the massive pot. If I could go back, I would have definately checked instead of raising on the flop, but at the time, I was thinking to protect my hand and nothing else, and I should've just checked it to see if anyone would bet at the pot and then act accordingly. It's just another lesson you learn and hope to remember it when the scenario comes up when your playing.
In the end me and Kryptonite "jason" went heads up, and it was a great battle just like the week before it was Jason and me Heads up as well. Next week, the odds of me winning again are very very low since I've won 3 in a row; but who knows it may be a no luck night and skill will be my only weapon. We've been talking about starting up a point system and having tournaments based on the points accumulated and then having match ups based on the points or something like that. It will be alot of fun I think.
Keep on showin your nuts!

holy Schnikeys back to back baby... back to back
I just got done taking down another MTT this time there was 136 players and it was a 7 ducket buy in. There were no rebuys and just a straight out tournament. In the begining I was getting great cards. Everything I wanted came to me and whenever the flop came it made it better. Don't you love those moments when you have those runs, It's one of the great things about poker.
Let me just write it down so you all know what I placed, 1st! Just in case you think back to back is a poker move or something. The odds of winning a 3peat is pretty freaking high if you ask me, but I'm going to try my hardest on my next MTT to see if I can get ITM, but I'm aiming for 1st as always.

Yours Truely Collects another 1st
Whew! What the hell time is it? 8:20am? Man, I gotta get up and get ready for the weekly game in under 10 hours or so and I love sleep. But I decided to play a multi table tournament that was starting in 25min. I killed time playin heads up games until then, and didn't do so good so I didn't fell that hyped to play the tournament which was almost a sign for me to unregister but I went on with it anyway. It was a 11 duckets to enter and 60 people entered the tournament. Long story short I took the tournament by the horns(tournaments have horns?) and broke it's neck like my next victim. Another MTT 1st place under my belt, and the prize was alright as well.
Time to take my ass asleep!
Time to take my ass asleep!

Dan Harrington saved my ass Coming back from Colorado
I went on a trip to Colorado to see a friend we'll call stinky pants, and it all started on a monday night at the stroke of Midnight pretty much. Me and my friend HotShotz started our 17+ hour Journey to the state of good ol Colorado. Hotshots and I are pretty hardcore because we did the journey nonstop, all to way there and stopped only to gas up and grab a bite to eat once at this place called Good Food. It looked closed by the outside of the place but the food was........ good.
When we got to Stinkypants house, we were so happy not to be going in a forward motion anymore. We all went inside and Stinkyp showed me the whole house which was very nice and even had a hottub, with an excellent view outside. StinkyP is have a problem with the bees, because there's a couple nests outside by the nice view. He also wouldn't let me spray them with hair spray and light the nest either. What kind of friend is he anyway? After Stinky showed me his whole pad, we had a session with the treas and chilled out hard.
I didn't do much while I was up there though; Stinky showed me the hills and the nice views they have there. While we were going back down from the 10,000ft. I felt this huge pressure by my eyebrow and eye and it felt like my eyeball was going to pop outta my head Total Recall style. That shit lasted a couple hours and totally sucked. After that passed, me and Stinky went to this place called Dave and Busters. It's a chain place that is an arcade for adults. They serve booze and food and have video games, what more could you want?
Well Hotshots and I were ready to leave so off we went on our 17+ hour straight drive again, and everything was going good until we were on the freeway. We were driving awhile so I decided to bust out the harrington book volume2 and to catch up on some reading. So I'm reading my book and all of a sudden Hotshots slows down and pulls over. Yup he got pulled over and my nugget jar was in the glove compartment. So the po po asks hotshots for his license and registration, and hotshots knows about the jar and looks at me like what are we going to do now? So he does a double check in his wallet and I go to open the glove compartment. But when I opened it, I put my book down over it because the trea jar was on sitting on the bottom and then began to look for hotshits registration.
We get off with a warning, and I tell hotshots that what the hell is he speeding for and don't do it anymore. So a couple hours later, what do you know? He gets pulled over again! This time doing 18 over! You bet your ass he got a ticket this time! Geez, if he was to get pulled over again, I think I would've find a grayhound or some shit, I'm not even kiddin you!
We get home about 2am in the morning and left at 7am..... what a hell of a drive and a journey that was.... but overall it was a good time.

Moving on up..... to the East Sideee
Well I finally got to the goal I wanted to in bones, so I'm going to do what I said and move up to a higher level in Sng's now. I usually have a method I work with when I play, like if I lose a Sng, I will go straight to a Heads up game and play a lower level game and keep on playin them until I get my money back from what I lost in the previous sng. The system seems to be working right now for me, so I'm going to keep using it until it fails me, or when I have a 20 in a row losing streak. I'll be letting you know how I do with these higher level sng's. I know that if I keep geting ITM, it won't seem so much as a grind with these higher levels with more bones comin my way. Oh yeh, you must be thinking, well what limits did you move up on? I forgot to mention it, I'm up to playing 11 bone STT's. I started playin just the 3 bone STT's with my broke ass a long time ago.
