Placing thrice in two weeks

Hey so pretty much last week and this week were awesome.  Last week Monday I placed first for $60 at my home game and Wednesday I placed 2nd for $50 at a friend's home game.  So last week was a killer week for poker, and so far this week on Monday I continue to be the raining champion with another first place victory for 1st place with a nice $70 following it.  During this game I was flopping straights and boats all over, I was pretty much hitting the deck.  And for anyone that doesn't know exactly what a bout or a straight is, boat meaning full house, here is a full chart.

Teaser for the Upcoming show!

So yea I have created a teaser for the upcoming show that I have been working on.  Although it kinda sounds like I'm drunk in it, it still works.  The show will be released next week wednesday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbVwAgb13Go   . As for poker, last Sunday at the cash game I raked in a sweet $210, Woo!  Also, I have been working on changing the background image.

Filming!

So far I am almost done editing the show that I have been working on for a little while now and have just about 15 minutes for the show.  I hope its a hit and people find its interesting and most of all find it comical.  If the show takes off, then I hope to make a second episode.  I don't want to go into details about whats in it because that will ruin the surprise.  The basic plot is someone just moved into an apartment and now is in search of three additional roommates.  This individual has O.C.D., and is currently looking for three other people who have problems of their own in hopes that their conditions will make him feel normal.  Due to time and schedules I'm only able to get just enough footage in hopes that it will be enough.  Once it is finished I will post a link to the video.

Filming Update!

Ok so last week I filmed a lot more for the show I'm hoping will be a hit.  I finished editing the intro and now only have a few small things to finish filming.  I'm hoping for it to be done be next week and online.

Monday Poker Game!

I am now on standby for the next game of poker which is my home game.  If I play my cards right I will take 1st and the moneys that follows with a few bluffs along the way.  As for last sundays $100 cash game (high stakes for me) I only ended up losing $24.  At first I thought I was going to be down and out with getting as low as $8 but was able to turn that up to $165 and then basically caught nothing until $76.  Wish me luck.

Heres a little help for new players and the best starting hands to have and usually play:

Foxwoods!

Foxwoods hotel and Resort!

Hey everyone, so last sunday, 9/26/10 a few of my friends and I headed to foxwoods to gamble it up.  We always get complimentary rooms and free meals, hell thats worth the trip all in itself.  When I go there I will ussually play texas hold'em for a good twenty hours while getting jack and cokes or long island iced teas.  I only ended up playing for about 6 hours turning $100 into $360 but ended up going to another home cash game and losing $200 so basically I made $60 lol I guess it was worth it.  At Foxwoods though I was making really sick calls and ended up taking three people out of the game.  One hand I had 10-J of clubs and the flop went club, club ace.  

It was heads up, and I knew my opponent had a pair of aces but he only made a $20 bet into about an $80 pot.  I had a flush draw and figured I'd try my luck and when the turn hit it was a 10 so on the turn I had any 14 cards to hit on the turn to make my hand better than his.  He ends up pushing all in and I call for a club to come on the river, so he was one of my victims.  Another guy ended up shoving all in and I only had a mid two pair with one of my pairs on the board, it took me a little while to think about it but ended up calling him with the better hand and took him out.  It is awesome to try and read people, try and tell what they have and make the right decision it is a huge thrill of the game.  I tend to go to Foxwoods on several occasions and do pretty well.  We ended up eating at the Scorpion bar which was pretty awesome. 

Now I'm waiting for sunday nights cash game.  I hope I do well.   

Sunday and Monday night Home games

So sunday night I played at a small home game and got pretty lucky.  I ended chopping 1st and winning $50.  Monday night is my home game, 10 people and a lot of decent players.  Long story short I took it down and won $90.  Lets hope the next game which is Wednesday is another win. 

Monday's Home Game

 

Perhaps someday I will have a ton of money from poker in front of me like that picture.  At my home game I had lost but it is ok you can't win them all.  Sunday's cash game is coming up and hopefully I will be taking home the bills.  Hoping to use my free rooms from Foxwoods soon because I tend to win more there playing cards.

Poker!

Poker is the ability of reading your opponent and figuring out what their next move is.  I absolutely love this game and do a pretty good job at it.  My target audience is anyone who enjoys the thrill and excitement of cards as well as the adrenaline rush of reading your opponent correctly.  The point of this game is to have all the chips in front of you while collecting some dough as well.  So far I am up quite a bit of mulla and have been taking trips to Foxwoods as well.  I ussually play three times a week between cash games and tournaments.  Last night I played in a cash game and took home $110 profit, sweet deal huh?  I tend to make more money playing cards then my actual job....how disgusting is that.  My plan for the future is to continue playing cards and getting better, practice makes perfect right?  Tonight is my home game here in plymouth, I'll post how well I did in my next post.
