May Recap, June Plans

Finished up just over $10k. I played far less games than I expected I would, but thats primarily been because of the NBA which has dominated many nights after 7 pm. As soon as the Finals are over I should have nothing else to do but poker 5 of 7 days a week. Yesterday was the longest I've played in awhile. Close to 60 games I guess (still lost $500 obv).

I've probably played 7 rounds of golf in the last 2 weeks, and my game is quickly improving. Especially chipping and putting. I'm still pretty terrible with 5-7 irons. My basketball team is now 0-5 with 3 40+ point losses. We're easily the worst team in the league and its gotten so far past ridiculous. We're actually moving down in leagues soon and can hopefully take some softer competition.

Funny add on to that WSOP tourney

Totally forgot about this hand at my table I wasn't involved in. Guy limped, another dude made it 900 at 1/2. "The pro who would never shut up about his QQ losing to 88 on an 88xQx board in the 5k" guy to my right called. I folded button, both blinds called. Limper called or folded, he doesn't matter. Flop came 642 with 2 clubs. SB led for 3k with like 10k total (I think). BB tanks and says the ole "I'm getting tired, ok I'm all in" (for 4,200 or so) . Like I saider, limper folds. Raiser pondered for minutes. Then he moved all in over the top for like 8k. "The QQ guy" has every one coverd, and he tank tank tank called.

Then the funniest 2 min of live poker happened. The 3k betting sb tanked. He said "shit", in a I'm def beat here way. Dealer called the floor over to moniter the hand and make sure the stacks are correct when they go in. The floor says, "Ok what's the deal." Dealer goes "We have an allin, an allin over the top, a call, and an "Oh, shit." Floor says, "Is it on the 'oh, shit' to call then?"...

Like Phil Ivey, I don't cash or I final table

I guess in this sense, the final table is the same as cashing as it was a 58 person event. I got 6th for like $1600.

Early on I was known as the LAGGY player showing down some awkward looking open-raise hands. That led to most of these hands...

50/100. AA UTG made it 300. Older player (who I think called me a fag under his breath earlier when my 95h open raise won, whatever) flatted in pos. Just us. 4c3c2x I had Ac. I bet 450, he made it 1200. God I hate spots like this, but I peeled. Turn was a 3 and I checked/he shoved for 5500. I immediately said no way he's got the boat/quads with that over bet. It was either A5, 56, or a worse overpair. After pondering I called and he was drawing way live...with J9os.

200/400. Long break between levels since I don't remember. I opened in mp with A10os to 1050. Lady in bb who was getting aggrivated as I raised her last 3 blinds called. It came T87r. She led for 2000 and I shoved for about 10 total. She pondered and called with Q10. I held. She went on to passive-aggressively assault me for opening A10. LOL, I guess ?you? played it well?
