Not much to report..
I haven't plaid much poker over the last couple weeks. I did notice the FTOPS are back on Full Tilt! I am going to see if I can have a little bit better results this round.
The other night I jumped into a quick token S & G. It was sick. I think I was the most card dead I had ever been. I played a little tight in the opening rounds, and as expected a few of the donks busted out quick. I gained the chip lead for a while. Then some idiot called my raise with a K 9 offsuit (vs my AK) I whiff...but bet out. He hits a 9 on the turn and moves in on me. What a dork.
hopefully I'll do a little better next time!

Yes I am still alive...
Sorry that I have grossly neglected my blog lately. I really don’t have some huge excuse. It has just been a combination of things. I really hope to keep up with the blogging from here on out.
So in the last month or two I have, of course, played some cards. I can honestly say that for a while there I was running the worst I had ever run. I had all sorts of beats that would just sting…I can’t tell you how many races I lost (no matter what side of the race I was on), I had aces and kings cracked on what seemed like a daily basis, and I even had a couple of sets crushed either by runner/runner for a better full house or even a donkey who called me on a gut shot straight draw and hit it. At first I was getting super frustrated. I kept asking myself…how many times can you get all your money in being an 80% favorite or better and lose?
It sure was a rough month or so, but towards the end I started thinking about my beats. It hit me…in every single one of those situations I wanted my opponent in the hand. I wanted them to call. I just got unlucky. I made the correct decisions at the correct times….they just didn’t work out the way they are supposed to.
Moving on- I have been playing less NLHE lately and more of the other games. I have been loving it! Seven stud is awesome! I don’t care if it’s high/low or straight up high. I have been running fairly well at it! I entered a 24+2 7 Stud Hi/Low tourney on Full Tilt last week. There were 85 entrants, and I took 6th. I was definitely happy to final table, but at the same time I really think I could have done a little better.
Some players from our club got together the other night and we had our version of “the big game.” Obviously our limits were much lower...but it was good time. Here is a list of the games we played:
- 7 Stud (high)
- 7 Stud (high/low)
- Razz
- Omaha (high/low)
- Pot limit Omaha
- Deuce to seven single draw (no limit)
- Deuce to seven triple draw
It was a good night. I a little more than doubled my buy in. I could have done a little better, but I took some hits on the deuce to seven games! Those things are sick!
I hope to keep up with my blogging a little better. So look for a post soon! Also, just in case you don't know this- one of my good friends and I started up a podcast a month or two ago. You can find it on i-tunes. Just search AA Poker Club. Check it out and let us know what you think. You can e-mail us questions at play@aapokerclub.com . We are also in the process of trying to get our website updated so be on the look out for that as well (www.aapokerclub.com).
Later!
