Feeble Attempt at Live Blogging


Hello My Brothas & Sistas,

I am playing the Poker from the Rail Tournament RIGHT NOW.  50 minutes into the game and I have 3,600 in chips.  Sitting next to DDionysus and first thing he says to me is "Did you scare away Lightning?" 

Obviously, I did.

I'll update every 15 minutes or so and let you know how I'm doing.

11pm - on first brea. 5,880 in chips..took shortstack out with pocket 8s.  He had 7-7 and the snowmen held up!  Woot!

Just got A-Q suited and raised to 3times the blind.  Reraise to 1300, an 2 all ins after that...then it's back to me and I fold.

Three hands are QQ, AK & AA.  Aces held up, and I folded the worst hand with A-Q.  Sheesh!  Only on Full Tilt!

Midnight ET and I'm on break again.  I have 7,200 left in chips but it's been a roller coaster ride.  I lost alot of my chips with QQ.  I called a stupid river bet with QQ while there was an ace on the board and what did the villian have?  AA!  Sure HIS held up.

Anyway I slowly built up my chips stack, taking someone out with 9-9 I reraised all in and got a call from 6-6 and they held up!  Woot!

22 players left - 15 in the money.  But you guys know I'm not playing for money tonight right?  I want that goddam seat!  All I have to do is figure out a way to get it.

In the money! 

Down to 15 players and I have over 20K.  I had QQ, with a 3 way all in....small stack won, but I got the lion's share.  Next hand same guy goes all in and I have AK Suited so I call.  Flop is KKK.

Let's see if I can hold onto these....

NOPE I cannot.  :(  Out in 10 place - one before final table. Won like $40.

Do I really have to tell you what my last hand was????  :((((  I'll give you a hint.  It rhymes with Ace-Fag.  You figure it out.  :P

Play smart.

Josie

Can't break that habit can you?

Thanks guys! :)

Wolfie - I tossed ace rag maybe 30 times and I'm not exaggerating. Played it twice suited and lost both times. I'm done for real now. lol


I was shortstacked and it was the best hand I'd seen in a long while. A-8 suited. Never again tho.

Nice cash Josie, sorry about the bad finish. Actually got Ace rag to hold up for me last night. Flopped the nut flush and the second nuts bet into me the whole way. Otherwise, its a worthless hand used by frauds and charlatans to take down good people holding KK and QQ then spewing off all those chips to some other sunglasses wearing wannabe. But I'm not bitter.

Lightning, thanks for the advice BUT....
1. Waffles wasn't in the game
2. If you read my post you'll see that I tossed A-Q and would've lost with it.

Now give me GOOD advice so I can get to that ToC and kick your butt!

Rymes with A fag.... Wolfhead! No that does not fit.. hmm..

Never listen to Lightning. I have sent a formal petition to Full Tilt to remove his TOC seat since he can not even spell Poker. So obviously he could not have a Poker Blog.

Oh and Gratz on the 10th! You have been getting right in there.. you just need your cards to hold one time and you will make it.

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

I'm busier than a cat covering up shit on a concrete floor so you'll have to forgive me for not posting today. What, you thought this was a post?  Um, no it isn't. But, if you're desperate to read something about Very Josie, and if you like crafty humor, you could go ---> HERE as this post tickles my funny bone.  Go on now, go THERE and enjoy some fine writing for a change, and tell him Very Josie sent you. Snaps for Josie!  (you have to go HERE to appreciate this line and then come back here to leave me a comment.  Just because I'm too busy to post doesn't mean I don't like getting comments.  Now scoot!)

The Very Josie was Very fun yet I'm Very frustrated. (looking at you Jordan) We ended up with (13) players.  Not too shabby, considering it was Dank night. The players were: 1. Coop 2. Frankie Baby 3. Gary 4. Jordan 5. Kattitude 6. Lucky Duck 7. Memphis Mojo 8. The Lovely Very Josie 9. WolfsButt, I mean Wolfshead :P 10. Edgie??? 11. GoBurn1 12. My sis, PrettyCat1 a/k/a Cricket 13. Baynes Baynes made an entrance showing up a tiny bit late, but what a pleasant surprise.  I could've kissed that frog!  (frog avatar)  Baynes I think you can leave work at a decent time one a month, right?  The Very Josie is only once a month! 2 tables.  I started off with Mojo, Kat, Edgie, GoBurn1, Baynes & Ducky at my table.  Started off playing good and stayed that way.  Caught some decent cards early on and kept the chips I won.  But that Damn Mojo was a thorn in my side for the whole game.  He got MORE chips early on and held onto them too.  Mojo will now be called Nem
