He arrived over here about 7am this morning with the food, and a few extra items, and when i asked him how much i owed him, he said not to worry about it, so that did me a BIG favor. id guess about $50-60 worth it came to. Now i wont have to worry about eating in the buffet. and that will help me with comps, its still quite long and tough to even get the $15 worth of room comps needed each day. am now out of Cutters room and into one in my own name, for 7 days until next tues morning, and i have $20 left in comps.
Then he did me another big favor i wasnt sure he could do that made my life a lot easier, he took me into vegas, and i washed all my laundry. While in Vegas, we stopped at the Burger King on Trop and Pecos we heard had free wifi, and worked to get on UP. (from WSOP2007). checked it out, and sure enough, i was able to login to UP and play there for the first time. played very brief, lost 22c, and have $9.78 there, and then went to the laundrymat. of course the laundrymat did not have free wifi, and i was not able to get on UP there since i was back to using the broadband modem again. Spent $6 of my money in there washing and drying clothes while he went out to samstown and back.
Both of those 2 favors really took a load off my mind and made my life a lot easier, and he said not to worry about people giving me shit for him doing me a favor since he gave food and not any money to gamble with. if anyone wants to meet him, he will be playing the mixed game at TI sometime later this week whatever day it goes.
i dont see that $165 back on my bank statement yet, so i cant call Verizon yet to make the payment i was going to make cause they said to wait for the email and it should be reversed within 24 hours. but its not showing up in my bank. i have $1098, plus the money Verizon will send back, minus what payment i make on it.
then ive also got about $60 worth in 2 coinbase transactions still on the way, and about $83 worth of money in seals. i guess im worth about $1400 if i got back the whole thing from verizon before anything is paid, but of course that wont happen, something will be paid. winning $110 on the VBJ earlier this morning before Chad got here helped a great deal in bringing up the roll.
and its possible but not sure sometime during the week he is in town, might either play omaha8 at the suncoast or play a little $2-6 spread at buffalo bills on the weekend. id be using my own money and if i lost id sure not want it to go over $100. also would be nice to be in town sunday for that freeroll. he looked over my laptop and he said there definitely isnt a place to plug it into a phone lin Ultimate Poker e like Mc Gee suggested.

How and where do i find cheap housing?
http://twinfalls.craigslist.org/apa/3807360304.html this seems to be an excellent choice as far as cheap housing, only $100 a week or $375 for the entire month, problem is there is only 1 thats available, and it is NOT in NV, so i couldnt play on UP. But id gladly take it if anyone could get me in there for a month, and then id have to take a greyhound to Twin Falls also.
there is a shuttle bus going to Jackpot NV where there is a poker room takes about an hour on the bus and the bus only runs wed-sun.
Nicest thing is in a small town like that, id probably feel a lot safer being in a cheap motel, sure wouldnt feel safe in vegas, and not in reno either, probably would in Wells though. i wonder how easy it would be to earn the monthly rent on seals with clubs if i put all my roll there? the real issue is if theres only 1 room to rent at this motel, there would go the whole idea.
Britni used to find me suggestions like this on craigslist, in some of the weirdest towns and locations across the country, all were like way under $400 a month. some of them in weird locations like WY even. And today was NOT GOOD on the VBJ, i quit when it dropped to $1001 from $1110. there went back yesterday mornings $100 profit. Overall though, once I began playing properly again and limiting my max bet to 1%, i have actually done better than EV would suggest. up to $57 now in comps for when ill need to use comps again for rooms starting tues.
and the good news, i wont have to worry how i can go buy food. Not only was AKgal nice enough to mention she would be passing thru Jean within a day or so and could go buy walmart for me (with my money of course) Chad from TN who posts on my blog and RTP is also going to be in town next week, who ive met before. Chad had told me earlier in the day he would have a car, and be willing to get the food and come say hi out here in Jean. Am also hoping maybe we can go into Vegas and accomplish some other tasks while he is in town. He seems to be trustworthy from his facebook page.
and im back to about 290 seals, but still not nearly enough to be making any withdrawals yet, so no income for quite some time.
and no it dont bother me i never got on the list for public housing, i certainly dont expect to still be needing rental assistance 2-3 yrs down the road, nor be in vegas then. besides if a place opened today i might worry its in an unsafe area. although i know of some people in nice areas getting rental assistance how they do it is beyond me. the only thing id really like is my Apt in Lyons back, but in some small town in NV instead of in KS. But it cant be one of these border towns that dont work for online poker.
there were 2 young girls here who seemed to be in their early 20s with their grandmother, or at least they were calling her that. wouldnt thought she was old enough to be her grandma. anyway one of them came by, briefly scratched my back, and said she hoped i won, seen her do the same thing to another guy at the tables. wish i knew her facebook info, that was really nice of her. at first i wondered if she knew of my blog. and at the time it was very early on, i was actually $20 up. i didnt start losing until the one regular who plays all the time, (sometimes with his GF who also chain smokes) sat down with the cig. the one that hurt was when the dealer got BJ 4 hands in a row, when i had 3 spots out all with plus counts, dont remember ever seeing that before. but still overall im still up in cash from when i was at my lowest point a few days ago. i had $210 cash then plus the bank, now its $289 cash plus alot more in the bank with all them withdrawals. so im still about $250-300 better off.
and i got a food tix yesterday morning, so as soon as they change menus at 6am im ready to go eat, starving for a good meal, eating the last of peanut butter sandwiches, didnt want to eat before i slept, and when i woke up theyd already switched to the overnight menu at 10pm
consider my bankroll to be $80 lower because $80 of my huge past due internet needs paid immediately, have already got emails it could be shut off anytime, and the guy on the phone said they wouldnt do that until its 60 days overdue. i should call them again i think
need to figure out how to fix an alarm clock thats 1 hour 22 min fast, but i wont worry about it, will just look at phone and laptop until i change rooms. not worth bothering to fix.

trying to hang in there, online poker is the only way out at this point
Glad Josie included a few food items in with that pair of reading glasses ill get monday, im down to 1 can of beans, and 3 soups left. thats it. $31 worth of food did last 2 weeks, along with eating in the buffet 4 times.
This is about the cheapest place to buy advertising, even lightning told me i wasnt charging near as much as i should. each post is getting close to 2000 views. I have come full circle, when i was 19-23 and ran a publication, back then i made my money from selling advertising too. Just not selling subscriptions anymore today.
only $765 to my name, which isnt a lot without income or assets, most people have a car alone worth more than that. But in keeping with the spirit of making sure i have some kind of daily income, i sent myself $20 again Sunday morning from my seals account, and each time it takes about a week to hit my bank. so we have 5 transactions enroute to the bank, one of which is the paypal $25. That should increase the roll soon.
and still have 700 chips left on seals. and here is a bitcoin address anyone wanting to buy advertising can deposit money into. i feel a ton more confident with it than paypal, also bankofamerica transfers and walmart moneycard transfers are acceptable also. 16WaVZ4tC2ThE4qChDQPeaQ9viejDhrnuk
oh, the guy who paid $25 for the ad, said it was payment for a week, so maybe i didnt undersell as much as lightning thought. i really have no idea what to charge, im going to be generous and give him 2 weeks, just to give him more time to find an interested party in his business. Lightning may have been under the impression the ad would be up forever when he said to charge $150.
Pete Peters made a great suggestion, but the ad i posted from Elko craigslist on RTP about the motel for $400 a month or $160 a week, (big discount monthly) is NOT in elko. its in wells NV, close to wendover and idaho. way up in that corner, and no bus goes to it as far as i know. greyhound dont. if i was there, id certainly be doing nothing but grinding online poker, and staying off the machines. it would be almost as remote as Jean but not quite, it is a town.
$400 a month is quite cheap, especially with a microwave, fridge, free wifi, but i dont know if that free wifi would have a NV ip address or not. how does anyone get a NV ip address who travels a lot instead of living at home? would make it hard for visitors to NV to play online if u cant get a NV ip address without having a wired modem at HOME. the reason i think wifi wont give u one is because of all the complainers in the 2+2 thread who couldnt get on at a starbucks or mcdonalds. would also like to hear of success stories of people who got online Ultimate poker who were NOT at home when they got on, or who did get online at home, but with wifi instead of wired.
see, even if i did have an apt in vegas, the vast majority dont let u hook up cox anyway, because they have their OWN wifi, most of which dont work. only the ones that rent monthly might allow u to do that. and i might still be on cox's bad credit list from an unpaid bill out of state. century link is an option however. any other companies offer aircards which DO give out NV ip addresses that arent nationwide? i know theres a company called clear, also others, but i dont know if they offer aircards. i am assuming the only reason verizons aircards arent located in NV is because they are nationwide, and verizon said if i go elsewhere in NV, i might still end up with a NV ip addy, but i dont think so. especially since another test showed me as Bedminster NJ ip addy. and are games really easier on UP than on seals? maybe they will be, once omaha is added, and one thing is sure, eventually they will end up with far more players. but then again, the NV market will be split up among so many sites, i dont see how it will handle that many. theres not enough online players willing to relocate here. i do think ill have an easier time finding low stakes on UP, and one really nice thing ive heard about UP is they allow ratholing and u can sit back in the same game without waiting. that does wonders for protecting and growing a small roll, im sure the gaming comission forced them to do this to be fair to everyone otherwise theyd probably not allowed it.
finally down to only 4 shirts left, and seattle irish hasnt answered his message on facebook

women
Spoke to verizon on the phone, they called me while i was on the VBJ. Their tech said theyres no way to guarantee me a NV isp, but thought id be more likely to get one in vegas, and would have a decent chance, but alot of people dont agree. he did say if i was in the middle of the state, such as winnemucca or Elko, id probably have one for sure. he thinks im too close to the border for it not to be reflected in other servers, but why scottsdale? thats a lot further than vegas, not sure if he gave me a good answer, but he is a verizon tech engineer and i explained the 2+2 thread but he had less interest in it than the guy i called 2 nights before. I still fear leaving Jean, and still not being able to get online stations. getting onto stations will be far more important once they add omaha, theres so much to be made in omaha ratholing, and stations casinos online site allows ratholing and immediately sitting back down.
new roll $1354. and ive also still got over 700 chips on seals, worth $75 or so. and the good news is my Tmobile cell bill is off my mind for right now, supposedly a guy named Scotty who reads my blog, and has been for 5 yrs, is one of the Ultimate Poker representatives on 2+2, he appreciated what i was trying to do with verizon spreading the word about 2+2 and complaining about lack of access to Ultimate poker, so he told me he would pay my cell phone bill and to email him their mailing address and my Tmobile account number, which i did, found out he paid $200 on it instead of the $54 immediately needing paid, which surprised me. he said he thinks it will be posted on the 9th. Kind of fast if he paid by mail id think.
the reason i was complaining to verizon even though thats NOT my phone carrier is because it IS my broadband modem carrier, and i was not able to show up as having a NV ip address which is also needing to play on Ultimate Poker and not just having my cell phone work on the triangulation process. NV law requires BOTH.
Not seen or heard from Omerta since that day he was here, and not heard from Cutter again either, although wasnt Wed supposed to be the day he was coming to Jean?
Nice to see theres still people in this world like Grouchie and his woman who still believe in marriage. A good woman is hard to find, and one friend i was talking to got upset with one of my texts last night. i was disappointed shes no longer single as of 3-4 days ago, and she said i was judgemental, but i couldnt figure out how. I thought she was someone i could really relate to because of things she said to me on facebook, and asked me a lot recently as to how im doing. I never know what will upset a woman and am surprised if i say something offensive. figured she could relate to me because of her own struggles with her own addictions which are different than mine, but not any more dumb. But then again, i worry all women think im ugly, so i feel maybe for that they cut me no slack. wish id known if Claudia had thought i was ugly or not, we never discussed it. Claudia was more concerned with the fact i couldnt get hard, and she complained about it to Grump a lot. no idea whatever became of Grump either.
now do these texts sound judgemental to u? wasnt intended to be about her. she said she just read my last message, that i was a real ass, and judgemental, and she shouldnt have confided in me. not sure what and when she confided in me. I wonder if she understands that because of my aspergers i dont know how to relate to women or talk to them, or if she even remembers that since she seldom if ever sees my blog?
here are my texts:
(after she first sent a text she met a guy and has been with him 3-4 days now). And i dont think she meant the friends of her parents where she was temporarily living that was a guy and girl, probably wouldnt be referred to as meeting a guy.
text 1: (from me) sorry to hear that, hope he dont use drugs. Ty on facebook?
text 2: (from me)$12 up and went to room
text 3: (from me)I am a lot better catch than other guys because instead of trying to have sex with as many girls as possible, i want one to fall in love with and be there for 100% main thing, i only want one girl
text 4:(from me)these were sent within a 2 minute period, all 4 of them. then her text to me was about 12 minutes later. here is text 4:
women in vegas dont care about love only getting money and going out getting drunk or high. they got a fucked up view on what matters in life.
now not knowing which of those 4 texts is the offensive one, id guess its text 4. could be text one though, since Ty is black. However, theres a good chance he isnt even the man shes talking about. He just seemed into her from his facebook posts. But who am i to read people? i cant, and it effects my poker game too. its true though, and i didnt mean her specifically so she shouldnt have thought i was judging her. i wasnt. i meant women as a whole, and i guess i was just disappointed that she seemed to have found a new BF.
yeah good women are hard to find. had i not been so bitter finding out Claudia didnt love me and want me to come live in NYC with her that relationship wouldnt have ended as it did. someone else showed me a thread on Brandi Hawbaker and she showed a lot of promise in the poker world as did Britni although not as good looking. just as badly underweight though. But more messed up. seemed to be a much bigger scammer out to con guys and Tom franklin also seems like a real piece of shit. he should be with a girl closer to his age, leave the ones 20-40s for me and he should take the ones 40s to 60 since hes an old man. and of course if a woman gets a male backer the male backer is going to want a relationship or at least sex. she shouldnt pretended to be surprised. Like Britni she was emo and talked of suicide and didnt consider it something to joke about. I feel like Carmen could have the same promise in poker if she would commit her all to it. Any woman can a lot easier than a man if shes not ugly and gay. Cause men will do their best to keep her in chips if they find her single and attractive.
http://archives1.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=8493754&page=0&fpart=1&vc=1
and another thing, theres no reason a woman cant commit to just one man and let him take care of her til shes able to bankroll herself off of poker, thats what God intended. no reason for women to be needing to be getting stakes from multiple guys who all want a piece of ass. one guy is enough, and people should still believe in love and commitment. the Bible talks about how much God hates divorce. Our morals have gone to shit nowdays but since people dont know God and just want to sleep around, they call me the immoral one just because i dont have a regular job or income. now dont get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with having sex with a woman on the first date, but u better be in love with her too on that first date, and not end the relationship after having sex. ending a relationship soon after having sex is a terrible sin, u should stay together and try to make it work out. its too hard to ever be able to find another woman. a man that wont stick to 1 woman should be looked down on, and be the type of guy any woman avoids. who cares if he has money or not, or a car, a job, etc. main thing a woman should look for is a guy who isnt going to have sex with her and then leave her. at least thats the way it was in my mothers day.
new roll $1354. and ive also still got over 700 chips on seals, worth $75 or so. and the good news is my Tmobile cell bill is off my mind for right now, supposedly a guy named Scotty who reads my blog, and has been for 5 yrs, is one of the Ultimate Poker representatives on 2+2, he appreciated what i was trying to do with verizon spreading the word about 2+2 and complaining about lack of access to Ultimate poker, so he told me he would pay my cell phone bill and to email him their mailing address and my Tmobile account number, which i did, found out he paid $200 on it instead of the $54 immediately needing paid, which surprised me. he said he thinks it will be posted on the 9th.

Our morals have gone to shit nowdays but since people dont know God and just want to sleep around, they call me the immoral one just because i dont have a regular job or income. now dont get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with having sex with a woman on the first date, but u better be in love with her too on that first date, and not end the relationship after having sex. ending a relationship soon after having sex is a terrible sin, u should stay together and try to make it work out. its too hard to ever be able to find another woman. a man that wont stick to 1 woman should be looked down on, and be the type of guy any woman avoids. who cares if he has money or not, or a car, a job, etc. main thing a woman should look for is a guy who isnt going to have sex with her and then leave her. at least thats the way it was in my mothers day.

i dont think ill be able to check out stations online poker site til im in a more populated area.
and I don't think its my Tmobile phone ultimate poker representative Dax on 2+2 thinks its the fact their location finders time out too quickly and he thinks if I was in vegas that it should work. he is trying to get it to give more time before it times u out. But I cant get any friends to try it for themselves in Jean, no one wants to drive here, maybe Cutter will test it for me if he comes soon, or maybe I can get Omerta back out here with his laptop. also id want to test It in vegas and make sure It works before I relocate.
New roll $1197, lost $46 again today on VBJ, never made a bet over $13. have earned $70 in comps this week is all.
the only thing I know for sure im winning at is online seals. came to Jean with 300+ seals, cashed out 700 seals, and have 144 seals left. just lost 480 seals in PLO high, due to a big stack with position playing loosely on my over the top of another shortstack raiser preflop. immediately quit the game then to update blog.
wish I could do good, afford to live here, theoretically I shouldn't be losing so much on VBJ. not commuting and being safe is so nice, but I would feel a lot better once I can play on stations new site. all my documents are verified but the NV location which they do by cell. Nice to see Carmen finally updated her blog, it, like Rob's, is one of the better ones. She offered to come by where I was playing a few weeks ago in vegas if she had gas, but it fell through. Jean is too far out and no poker, dreamed last night she was kissing a guy named Phil from her blog and I was severly disappointed it wasn't me. also had a nightmare about being in the street unable to move, and a car coming at me. often I dream about being immobile unable to move.
Mc Gee thinks I should win enough on stations and says I seriously need to be in vegas. and Johnny now works at the nugget, not sure If dealing or at the cage like his friend Matt. I seriously need a place In vegas that's cheap or free transportation to Reno, and sorry for being too busy to update more.
also Stacy the pit boss told me about some amateur free poker vegas league that has free poker in local bars and u win free seats in stratosphere tournys anyone know of this? would be good for maninblack since he lives by it

Running out of moolah again
when i took my free room at the riviera for 3 nights, my roll was OVER $2000, after just winning $121 at the nugget in the NL game. and i wanted to play the $2-20 spread again because id won over $500 in it just the week before, which got me to over $1800 from $1300. at the time i thought it might be the solution to rebuilding the roll, especially if i got in enough hours to qualify for the freeroll in which even last place is guaranteed $200. and it would be a good promotion for a guy with a lot bigger roll.
but the problem is, every hand u get sucked out on, u lose a ton, and its a lot faster than $2-6 spread which im used to at sams and texas. texas station is trying to offer $2-10 spread also i found out
tonight, when Vince and i went there briefly after leaving the poker palace. and Herbie asked me a good question also. he asked me why when there were so many pool players in there playing horribly loose why i wanted to sit there and play nothing but Team5 regulars. i'd probably done better in the loose game, even though id probably get several hundred back maybe even closer to $1000 if i made the freeroll. But id need a lot more play. its just too expensive a game, with $7 a round in blinds if the mandatory straddle is in effect instead of $3 a round in blinds or $4.
so i blamed being in a casino thats never had my favorite games and never done well in unless grabbing a promotion. and decided to play elsewhere tonight, in a cheap game at the poker palace, start out buying in $40 with a SINGLE $2 BB, and then unlimited buyins, no cap. was hoping i might see Carmen there and find out why shes hardly blogging (1 entry in 2 months) and so quiet on facebook lately when she was so addicted to candy crush saga she was on it all day long. But no luck, she wasnt there. and then the game did not even go, after going for 24 hours yesterday and then breaking up just before tonights tourny. wish id known that, id came by at noon. they said id have better luck coming in on friday next week. also they moved the old shufflemaster VBJ out of there Vince and i used to play. still have the $1 table game BJ, i played 3 hours in it and lost $3.
Vince dropped out his friend across from Tx station at a condo unit thats gated i think, looks nice and he bought it outright for $25,000 only. seems cheap and he only pays $162 a month in some fee to live there. wish i could live that cheap or someone would get me set up in one and let me pay them back per month with a profit. thats a really nice safe place to live within walking distance of a good game, and the ONLY safe place in that neighborhood. in vegas, theres so much u can take advantage of with money, in the way of making money buying and selling real estate. the funny thing is, thats what Britni wanted to get involved in, but in detroit so she very well couldve died.
also them 2 books mom sent were really interesting, ive finished one and am halfway thru the 2nd lucky for me the print is big enough to see instead of the small print so common nowdays. at least online u can zoom in to 125% that makes it easy. and being around a very bright light helps too.
i dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing most all of the drop from $2000 was on poker and not machines, dont say much for my poker game, but its like ive always said, u run really bad when stressed about the money but not when u have plenty of money, or are using someone elses money, which is why i could use some stakes. and im plenty dead tired, been up a lot of hours now and im an old man. so goodnight.

Two Choices
got 2 choices of how i want to live my life, one choice is to go back to Jean, relax and take it easy playing online seals with clubs, a little VBJ, and not have to stress over rent and commutes and i think now with a roll of $1993 i might have enough. the other choice is to find a place in vegas that dont involve commuting close to a NL game.
and ive got 3 days to decide for that is when my room here at this casino is now up. yes, i know my rent has been due on Tuesdays. today i officially moved out of a place on boulder hwy, and i got 2 nights at this one hotel downtown. I really miss my old longterm setups in the casino, made life so convenient and stress free, hate riding buses and waiting at busstops after dark. i had to move out of that place on boulder hwy for a reason no one reading this blog could know before now. u see a certain dealer at Hooters knew exactly where i lived, and what unit number my apt was. u see he gave me a lift over there and helped me carry my things when i first moved in.
and all the threats and the posts trying to find out where i was living was making me uncomfortable, especially since this dealer knew exactly which unit number it was besides just knowing the apt complex. So now i feel a lot better, because now no one will ever know where im living. i have a nice bed and TV now in this casino hotel room.
and about Ray--he is one of the guys about my age from the old monte carlo casino festivals in toledo when i lived there age 19-23. learned how to play poker then. am surprised to hear he learned of my blog, Larry was the old man i played chess with all the time. and sometimes Ray drove me home. neither one of us are gay. dont know why anyone would get that idea. for a while he was driving a greyhound bus and sometimes came into vegas. no idea what became of that job. He was the one who taught me how to stack the deal when im dealing. a skill still known by a lot of old time stud dealers in this town.
i am not sure what ill do once my 3 days are up, guess it depends on how im doing in the NL games. i know when im in Jean it keeps me off the VP machines, but i dont want to be where i can play no poker at all except for online, maybe it will just be a weeks vacation. still would like to live elsewhere instead of vegas too. that way no one would ever know where i am.
ssi finally sent the denial letter to vince, so i need to go file an appeal. also my mother sent down a lot of old paperwork that helped me get ssi in ks, and the name of my old atty, who seems to not have a NV license and no longer be in business. once i get a steady address i still can really use reading glasses and i still will have a great need for a microwave soon, but right now id need it stored for me so its too soon to get one. ill spend the next 2 days playing my best at $1-2 NL to see how i do buying in from $100 to $200 at a time in a good game. and getting in touch with SSI, and i might need to go in person to appeal so i can give them all these papers mom sent me, is anyone such as seattle irish or pokerjohnny willing to hang out in an SSI office for a while with me? also might need a ride out to Jean thurs, will throw in something on the gas.
my play is so split up i dont qualify for ANY freerolls, not sams town, or EC, and is one of the reasons i hate them type of promos in the first place instead of AA cracked. u see i dont want to make a weeklong or monthlong commitment to any one room. same way with the riviera promotions in the spread limit game that i did exceptionally well in, cashing out over $500 when in the game for $138. might go there if that game went more days a week, and this summer they will be offering free rooms for hours played during the week and $45 weekend rooms, so i might try and stay there for the 28 day max soon but that is quite a ways off yet. it wont start for over another month.
also tmobile promised me theyd turn my service on for $40.35 and that was all i authorized to pay, and it seems like somehow they charged me $50 more and took the money out of my bank, so now i need to call them about that too. not sure whats going on. i dont see the $50 on my bank statement yet, but it shows 2 charges being paid on the 22nd of april, not sure what the extra $50 is. not really any way to get it back considering its money i owed. not sure why its seperate too, looks like it was put on a credit card ending in 904, i dont have a credit card ending in 904. at least not on my current one, cant remember the old one, it might get reversed and my bank charge me and them, better call them soon and ssi soon.
so is anyone else coming into vegas very soon? also i dread mentioning my next monthly internet bill and my $14 bank service fee will also both be coming within the week. ill never feel like im finally starting to get back on my feet til i pass $3000 again, its been many months since ive had $3000. i posted earlier on twitter $2043, but that was before i saw the other $50 subtraction from tmobile.

new roll, $2018. now i dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing, considering last night the roll once briefly reached $2233 as i was eating in the cafe at the nugget. (right before i left the game to eat.) that was what i quit with.
also, im afraid to spend money on anything i need to pay, including rent, internet, and phone, because i feel ill need to hold onto it to have enough to play NL with instead.
Grouchie sent me a message on twitter last night, wanting to know where id be playing so i told him the golden nugget. but it didnt see it til hours later. later he sent a text he was at the MGM, and i didnt see that til another 6 hours later, is why i need a working phone or a room with wifi at the table. also i knew omerta was in town, id assume hes playing in the game with mc gee somewhere.
so id been winning heavily at the nugget all night, buying in $100 and eventually cashing out $447. after id built my stack up somewhat, some new guy sat down in the 2 seat, a young drunk. couldnt tell if he was hispanic or egyptian, thought it might be tarbash or omerta. although at first i thought omerta was a troll account created by mc gee. anyway he was playing really loose, donked off about $500 to the same young girl in seat 4. another woman from canada with her husband who has avp installed on her phone was in seat 7. i was in seat 9. and the guy in the one seat must of known of my blog though he claimed he didnt because when i was talking, he said at least u keep ur blog updated. then later backtracked and said thats what he is assuming. and the guy in seat 3 often said hes mistaken for sklansky and was a regular who plays lots of 20-40 limit elsewhere and 40-80.
so i get a hand AQ, and seat 2 bets $15, but this was about the time he first sat. before hed lost so much. i mean he bets this after the flop, cannot remember what happened preflop. i mightve been the small blind on a limped pot. flop comes up A29 rainbow, and he bets the $15 as i said. the woman with far less chips than me, about $130 maybe less, makes it $30. i really dont know what to do, i call. then seat 2 raises $65 more, and she goes allin. and i fold. turns out he had A9 and she had A5. so i made a good fold, but it came runner runner TT, makes me the winner had i stayed. i was sick about it, and he said i was a nigger and a MF for being afraid to call him. thats another reason i assumed it might be one of those guys. dealer said to calm down and not use those words, but the floor never came over.
he later went broke in short order, giving so much to the asian woman in seat 4, also a little bit loose.
his final hand he had something like J9 clubs and bets $45 into a $3 pot preflop. 2 people call, including the woman in seat 7. i have a ton of chips, and have no choice but to shove KK and take down all the dead money, was so relieved no one had AA. how likely would that have been in ur opinion? both them folded after i shoved $300+, including the guy who first called who had a lot of chips.
shortly after he quit i left to eat, giving back about $25 first. it was AFTER i came back from eating and rebought $100 at a new table things went bad. i lost the $100 on JJ after a guy overbetting way too much preflop bets $20, hes raised 4 of the last 6 hands, is a tourist. asian guy whose moved tables a lot calls, and i think he might be a reg, but one who plays in other rooms, not the nugget. i shoved my last $80-90 and everyone folds but the asian, who has AA. same situation, just this time im out. so i left.
and im wasting too much time online--this updating is work--like a real job, no wonder ive put it off. would talk more but no time.

Long overdue update, and probably my last blog entry, ill be broke within the week
after the week is up, when i am way too broke to pay another week or stay longer in vegas, i'll probably end up going back to Jean, but certainly not to play the machine, just to have a free room for about 9 days worth of my final $132 in comps while i grind on seals with clubs all week. got about 900 chips there now, and i wonder if the price of bitcoins will ever come back, or if it will drop to under $5. Bitcoin has too many competitors for it to ever work. the US govt and its hackers could bring it to a screeching halt overnight anytime it becomes too strong.
Spent the day moving out of my apt before noon, and need to go back to sleep. I have always preferred sleeping days anyway instead of nights, i dont like lying in an address i dont feel safe at at night. best time to play poker is from 6pm on, and the best time to sleep is from like 8am to 4pm, or maybe a little bit earlier. So i need to work on changing my schedule. now no one will have any idea of where im living, and everything will be a short commute and i wont need to ride any buses unless i want to go out to the strip or elsewhere. and this has as least some security in the area unlike boulder highway. also, ill not be on the ground floor anymore, although im paying a bit more a week in rent now. so my new bankroll is down to only $933. im very worried.
and also, even though i dont really have any money for it at all, going to try and play just NL mostly or maybe omaha8 for the full week. If i get in a game where i have a chance to win something, it will keep me from getting frustrated and going on tilt, and playing a machine. something where i can beat the rake so i dont give up all hope and start to play bad. not needing to use buses anymore might help me avoid tilt, thats the part of the day i hated the most when commuting to hooters from the cannery. also if i can easily walk home, it will help me avoid playing way too long when overly tired but stuck. also leaving this full 900 chips on seals will help too with that. ill feel like ive got enough to work with.
and if i increase the roll enough to where i can afford to live by a game omaha8 game, ill move again to find a cheaper place. i want to try NL for a week first, but am very scared. maybe ill end up back in Jean. i do feel like seals with clubs is beatable even with all the cheating.
if i did end up back in Jean id make very small bets if i ran out of room comps. 600 $2 bets, or 300 $4 bets will cover the room. the theorteical cost of this is only about $40 a week, far less than what im paying elsewhere in cash. (with flat betting small amounts no counting). to speed it up play multiple spots. (greatly reduce hours needed). and keep the bets small so i dont get crushed if unlucky. i think this way the worst id do is drop $100, and could still win that if i was really lucky.
though i say ill play NL, if i drop below $700, which could happen fast, ill just play Omaha8 and commute by bus after all i still seriously could use some stakes, and ive got a plan to do the right thing and stay off machines, so i think i deserve them, since ive won for the last staker.

my cell phone was suspended several days back, It was a big err on my part not to call them when i was supposed to be doing that every 10 days and making a payment to keep my service. finally got around to calling them today, even though i knew i couldnt give them near enough to turn it back on, and as i suspected $20 wasnt enough. so that means they will get nothing, and ill never have service again, and end up with a $500 plus bill counting the early termination fee on my credit report.
what was bugging me was all the phone calls that kept coming in that it wouldnt allow me to answer, just silence if i did. and all the incoming text messages i couldnt reply to. i asked the phone company about that today and they said the reason i was getting those was it was only suspended temporarily while they waited for me to make contact instead of permanently. But today they said now within the next few hours or day it would be suspended permanently since i didnt make payment or payment arrangements.
I got tired of friends thinking i was probably lying about having my phone shut off. Mc gee was particularly bad about this, he never once answered back any emails id sent not even to see kingofdonks while he was here, but he did send texts and calls, why i dont know since he knows i cannot reach him at his phone, and dont think thats his main email or ever checks that email, really need to reach him online privately but no idea how. so i called mainly to complain and ask them to shut off the number totally if they wouldnt reistall service for $20.
also AK gal told me Turd Ferguson is in town and would like to see me. i also need to see tatude at the hard rock too. will take a nap then see about getting out that way. if i hear back from tatude or AK gal in email or twitter.
to me a pizza turner is what u call the thing u pick up the pizza with and set it on the plate. I'd like to know what u guys are calling it.
yeah this blog entry is depressing, considering that i was briefly over $1700 the last time i posted a blog entry. Im back to where i was now before i won that money for kingofdonks. and though most of it was lost at poker this time, still a small portion was lost on machines. the good news is i can think of at least two things i avoided sitting at one when normally i wouldve.
theres more i could tell, but my closest friends advised that i shouldnt. also it was recommended i stop posting on roughing the punter and stick to my blog, so i think i will for the most part.
Spent the day moving out of my apt before noon, and need to go back to sleep. I have always preferred sleeping days anyway instead of nights, i dont like lying in an address i dont feel safe at at night. best time to play poker is from 6pm on, and the best time to sleep is from like 8am to 4pm, or maybe a little bit earlier. So i need to work on changing my schedule. now no one will have any idea of where im living, and everything will be a short commute and i wont need to ride any buses unless i want to go out to the strip or elsewhere. and this has as least some security in the area unlike boulder highway. also, ill not be on the ground floor anymore, although im paying a bit more a week in rent now. so my new bankroll is down to only $933. im very worried.
and also, even though i dont really have any money for it at all, going to try and play just NL mostly or maybe omaha8 for the full week. If i get in a game where i have a chance to win something, it will keep me from getting frustrated and going on tilt, and playing a machine. something where i can beat the rake so i dont give up all hope and start to play bad. not needing to use buses anymore might help me avoid tilt, thats the part of the day i hated the most when commuting to hooters from the cannery. also if i can easily walk home, it will help me avoid playing way too long when overly tired but stuck. also leaving this full 900 chips on seals will help too with that. ill feel like ive got enough to work with.
and if i increase the roll enough to where i can afford to live by a game omaha8 game, ill move again to find a cheaper place. i want to try NL for a week first, but am very scared. maybe ill end up back in Jean. i do feel like seals with clubs is beatable even with all the cheating.
if i did end up back in Jean id make very small bets if i ran out of room comps. 600 $2 bets, or 300 $4 bets will cover the room. the theorteical cost of this is only about $40 a week, far less than what im paying elsewhere in cash. (with flat betting small amounts no counting). to speed it up play multiple spots. (greatly reduce hours needed). and keep the bets small so i dont get crushed if unlucky. i think this way the worst id do is drop $100, and could still win that if i was really lucky.
though i say ill play NL, if i drop below $700, which could happen fast, ill just play Omaha8 and commute by bus after all i still seriously could use some stakes, and ive got a plan to do the right thing and stay off machines, so i think i deserve them, since ive won for the last staker.

well as usual, most of the readers were right, and i was wrong
about the fact i should be playing NL that is. won over $250 at hooters today, and left. might play more later, and need to do a few things at walmarts too, and also it might be a good idea to pay my rent early. maybe ive just been lucky, but winning at NL is certainly a lot easier than winning at $2 4. and i won it thru good play, never did get aces cracked once.
and they mightve also been right about me needing to remove those old bans, for i did my best playing on the strip the other day. i'm just glad Vegas has so many poker rooms theyre still some great rooms im not banned. most of todays winnings came from AK on a flop of AAT. also theres so many great poker rooms outside of vegas id like to go to, getting really sick of vegas, i think the games and choices of games are far better elsewhere.
got a big grocery list of stuff i need. won't do it yet, but how can i be sure a used microwave would work, and the much bigger fear, when i cant pay rent anymore, who would store it this time?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
this was typed a few hours earlier today on the city bus. am home for a little while now, Bought a few things i need at walmarts, such as milk, but what i really need is a water pitcher. and a glass. stuck some frozen pizzas and ice cream away, and bought some fruit and i eat healthily, i also bought some carrots. and i never buy pop either. Ended up the day with a roll of $1712. and ill be glad once the hairs get out from under the skin in my fingers, got 2 that are really bugging me. also played poker elsewhere on the way home and won quite a bit more. didnt spend much at walmarts, more concerned about paying the rent, and would like to do something about my phone. want to also transfer to the other apt community closer to where i plan to be using the bus more. Wanted to check out the poker palace weekend game too, but just never got around to doing it.
if i stick around vegas instead of returning to Jean, i need a lot more silverware, and dishes, did buy detergent today. down to only 1 spoon and thats the total of my silverware, except for a noodle soup spoon. and a pizza turner. i really hate the commutes back and forth to the casino instead of all the old days of just living inside the casino, wish i still had my setup at the 4 queens that was so convenient. i cant find anything cheap enough in the casino, weekends are jacked up way too much. if i move again, i really need a 2nd large container very big in size, carrying so many bags along with one small blue suitcase just doesnt work.
amazing how many people would rather pay $960 a year more in rent than get some cheap used furniture. Not that i would do it, but still. even spending $30 on a secondhand microwave is a lot to me. $1712 may be a vast improvement to the $700 i had before kingofdonks helped to select me a decent place to live, convenient to the busses. But thats still NOTHING for a bankroll, certainly not with living expenses included too. id only have 8 of his $200 buyins at the V (which is why im not playing there buying in $200 despite my success record).
Wec too was right when he suggested my game really improved once i started making bigger size buyins last 2 years. although when i buy too much, then my game deteriorates. i think about $200 is best. Even the black pimp was right when he talks about how much my roll was wasted foolishly. but theres nothing i can do about that now. i can only make the right decisions moving forward. Which i did today, i didnt go by this one VBJ game with a bad payout up the street. i didnt even walk in the casino at all. other times in my life i probably wouldve. But im hating myself terribly for putting myself into this mess, and really feel like this is my FINAL chance to make it from poker alone, if i dont want to lose it all and be sleeping outside daily. i cant come back forever, or get staked forever, no matter how good of an investment i am. but at least im honest. that really is the main reason people invest in me instead of others.
