I went to login to my ACR account today and i couldnt remember anything from years ago, didnt it used to be called Doyles room at one time? turns out i was told that my email address never had a previous account, so i created one and got the sign up bonus of $50 spread out over the next 20 days.
Pulled off about 1 3rd of my money on seals with clubs and transferred it over to ACR so that gave me $33 on ACR. i had originally bought $25 in bitcoin out of the bitcoin ATM near the big easy some time ago after @welshftw on twitter ripped me off by scamming me out of $20 on paypal. this was after id tried to buy bitcoin through twitter, and he was the one who asked me to DM him. I will describe the details in the comments at the bottom. that $25 worth of bitcoin is now about a little over $100.
i wish i wouldve had $100 scattered up between various online poker accounts back at the time i was in deadwood because it wouldve gave me a way to play poker in my room and something to do without spending all my time on the VBJ machine. Dustin has now left deadwood and he is totally convinced the VBJ in the DMG is cheating and how. i might have not dropped to 14,500 from 25,000 while i was there if i wouldve had something else to do all the times there wasnt a poker game going.
i still wish i was around one of the better poker rooms in the south florida area, instead of one where they rake too much and the games suck because of it. although the games are plenty loose enough. i have noticed something though ive always known and its why i dont play $2-5 like some of my readers recommend. there just isnt any action (or bad players for the most part) in $2-5 like there is in $1-2 NL. the average pot size is sometimes less, and certainly the amount of people limping in to see the flop is less. i only decided to play it (did the same thing the day before) because i was doing really bad in the $1-2 NL and the rake isnt as noticeable here because u will never see a $6 pot where 3 people limp $2(and then $2 is dropped).
if u chop the house still takes $2, $1 from the SB and $1 from the BB. but at least in the $2-5 u can straddle the button. u cant in the $1-2 because the house makes u post $2 on the button. so the point is the pot is more than $6 in $2-5 no matter what. only bad thing is they make the SB act first here when the button straddles. and the buyin is $200-500 (way too low, should be $1000) and in the $1-2 its $60-200. again this is way too low, should be $50-300.
but yeah im tired of having really bad luck in the $1-2 NL in this particular room when i used to win over $1000 a week in the other florida rooms. overall since coming to florida, im up about $8000 from playing poker as loose as the game is here compared to back home in Reno. im about $2000 better off than when i flew out of rapid city with $14,500 but out of the $8000 i won i spent about $6000 on either hotels, food or transportation and maybe am still down a very little on VBJ, when i was once actually up on it. now granted, there was one day this week early in the week on sunday where i took $60, never once rebought, and cashed out over $750.
so just like i did yesterday, once i got stuck almost $300, i moved to the $2-5 NL so i could put more than $300 on the table. i bought in for $481 today, the $81 i had left in chips and an additional $400. an unlike yesterday, where i lost and then decided to go to the ISLE and play $30-60 stud to try to get even (even though its a $30 Uber ride) today i didnt want to waste money on Lyft and decided to get the money back here. i never even got to play $30-60 stud, those assholes all knew i didnt have enough to comfortably play it as much as id talked about it and they switched it up to $40-80 after id been second up on the waitlist over 3 hours. by that time id won about $150 in their $1-2 NL and had been stuck about $150 in it. so i got very lucky Wednesday to recover the money on the VBJ machine downstairs and its definitely not one of the good kind. no points, no surrender, etc.
but today i didnt feel up to that much work and risk, so instead i bought $481 when i first sat. and eventually i won a hand and was up to over $700. i even got away with stealing a pot once and asked the guy next to me who once showed me 7-2 if he wanted to see my 7-2. he said no and swore i had a big pair and i decided not to show so i could bluff multiple times which is unusual for me. what i really had wasnt 7-2 or a big pair. it was JT offsuit and the button straddled $10, with 3 callers. i made it $75 and everyone folded thankfully. Like i said that game was much tighter than $1-2 with better players so why let them in on the secret im not really a nit when im heavily stuck?
i dont remember what i won the hand with today, but i remember what took the money wednesday and sent me to the Isle. i had AQ raised, a guy calls (who also has AQ) and a guy puts me allin whose got AA. the other AQ folds faceup once i call and the other guy shows his AA.
some people say dont let this affect your game and go waste money on Ubers or playing pit games but i only know what i must do when i cant play my best in a game i dont like.
the final pot today which let me leave with about $300 profit, i caught the guy next to me who i had position on and we both had well over the max buyin on the table trying to bluff me and it was the same guy with the 7-2 who wouldnt believe i bluffed. i did show a bluff once with a busted flush and straight draw against someone else late in the session. what id really like to do is find a way to be deep stacked (all winnings of course) and then do a big check raise bluff on the river if i could find the right opportunity because i read those usually work and u are given credit for a monster. same as i often limp UTG with hands like 45 suited with the intention to check raise preflop bluff a guy i think raises too much and is capable of laying it down either there or if he missed the flop.
i had seen the flop preflop with JK offsuit and the flop comes 246 rainbow. i am in the BB. two of us check, including me, and the guy other end of table bets an amount i cant remember, i think $10 or $15, maybe $20. guy next to me calls and i make it $70. now lets be honest a thinking player could quickly tell when i have it and when im bluffing, because almost all of my bets are legitimate hands and almost all of my check raises are bluffs i turned into bluffs when i couldnt see a free card and i think it makes the bluffs look bigger. But often i am the ONLY thinking player at the table.
i almost get everyone to fold but the one guy next to me who had the 7-2 once. who was gone over an hour and not picked up because there was no list whose girl was bugging him on the phone to come home. i ask him how big the flop hit him and he says flush draw straight draw. i have a bad habit of believing people too much when they say stuff like this.
turn comes K and at least ive sucked out on some hands now, but i fear he might have a monster and i want to see if the river hits draws. he checks and i disguise my hand strength by checking along. river comes 10 of hearts for a possible backdoor flush. he bets $250 and i feel like i either want to call and be up a decent amount for the first time in hours or lose and go home. what i dont want to do is fold and still be out a lot. and i know he might be capable of bluffing and hes telling me he has me beat and were neighbors. something just doesnt feel right and i call and he showed me jack high missed gut shot 5 draw. i cashed out right after finding a lyft driver on the app and worried id lose my whole $1000 plus i had on the table before the BB got back to me. i even got dealt KK once had to raise, got only 1 caller thank God and on the flop of 973 i bet and the guy folded. not him another guy.

the further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it
the following blog title is a quote by George Orwell, who was a very good fortuneteller. it speaks a lot of how im treated in poker rooms.
well im in the middle of doing my laundry and i went by the walmarts today and bought a weeks supply of food. i wouldve liked to stay a little closer to a different poker room, but the RV for rent in someones back yard in Homestead FL near a small little poker room without VBJ ive never been to yet was sold out since i didnt book it upfront. i miss when i had an easy short walk back and forth to the big easy casino poker room where the VBJ exists. i dont know if i returned if there would be vacancy by the week at the same motel and who knows they mightve raised the price again from $500 a week to $600.
got a little worried when i returned to the motel and found my microwave no longer working and my wifi out, but that managed to get resolved and i also managed to get clean towels and washrags.
i bought a new pair of pants tonight at walmart, so now i have 3 pairs of pants. one is brand new but i still got tons more shirts than pants and i wish i had some of my books here.
i greatly fear getting old, because i dont have a woman to take care of me. And a hooker certainly isnt going to, id be setup for a robbery. and people with emotional disabilities are not accepted by the general population and they go their entire lives without ever having a good woman, My son Mark along with Ray, and Benny Profane all can understand.
my health seriously needs looked at by a doctor and i wish it was possible to get coverage without having to worry about going to jail if i dont let the government seize every penny in my checking account, which would force me to be unable to survive to pay for hotels, and airbnbs, and play poker every day. same reason i could never have public housing or SSI. too much in the bank.
in the old days like the time i was in Tama Iowa at the time i signed up as a delegate for Pat in the Republican presidential Iowa caucas (either 1988 or 1992) cannot remember which. but the indian casino once wanted me to go to a doctor to prove my scalp didnt have anything contagious. and i was able to get a doctors statement proving i had nothing contagious and just eczema for only a $40 visit. imagine being able to go to a clinic for that price nowdays and pay cash when anywhere u look online without health coverage is like $150-300 to have a doctors office visit.
i spent about 3 months at an old hotel in downtown Tama, near the mesquaki casino or at least a 5 mile shuttle ride. and i paid about $50 a week for a cheap room. in the old days lots of motels had rooms with a community bathroom down the hall at very low prices. most all of those places either burned down or got torn down in the last 20 years, but it sure fixed the homeless problem and is why not near as many were homeless then. affordable housing i didnt leave the area til the casino banned me for cursing out an employee who made a horrible ruling that took almost $200 from me at a time my roll was a little below $1000 total. i heard years later that woman got fired. there was a beautiful young girl named Kathy who dealt there too whose probably about 50 now just like me.
yeah i wasted my whole life and chance to ever have a good woman. i wasted my entire inheritance from the canadian government when i turned 19 on hookers in toledo ohio within a weeks time. and then in my 30s i wasted money on pokerstars talking to britni and lorna and if i wouldnt have done that, i couldve saved up about 50k online but i never had more than about 3000.
and thats why i got to the point where i never give a woman a dollar anymore. even though theres a beautiful black girl in the poker room i wonder if she could be working on the side. she is always playing in there and without a lot of money, going broke and leaving. one guy said he could hook me up with her, but i dont want no one finding out where im staying.
which is why i resent people who get massages and the girls who give them out. theres no sign listing the price and im not going to ask because i assume its $2 and thats why they go around and asking if anyone wants one. if they were $1, there would be long wait lists like they have in los angeles. i dont know why they are so much cheaper there and gun lake casino and horseshoe baltimore. could be the girls there are much uglier in the $1 places from experience.
people who are autistic and never ever get a womans touch or a hug from anyone except Stormy the dealer in reno who i really miss shouldnt have to pay money for this. some of these rich motherfuckers get them every day. $40 a day on a massage is $14,000 a year. thats expensive.
the superbowl will be here feb 2 and i discovered thats increasing the price of motels this week even worse than its been previous weeks. ill be glad when it ends.
id leave, but the games here are too easy. today, i won over $600 in the $1-2 NL. was never in the game for more than $60, and cashed out about $800. at least i deposited it in wells fargo on the way home. though i hate discussing it with my Uber driver.
ive never seen any place except for florida where u can win like this at $1-2 so often. i win well over $6000 a month in $1-2 nl here. i waste it all on motels and Lyft and VBJ but still, if i could only be living with a friend with a car, look at how much i could stockpile in a few months. im sure all of u in florida lucky enough to do this already know.
a guy got pissed at me today for telling the truth i called him out for holding up the game ordering food instead of acting on his hand first. he got awful pissed and asked for a table change but continued to sit at my table many hours later. the young kid in seat 9 told me i did nothing wrong in asking him to speed up the game because it was getting to be like 2 minutes. usually all my problems in poker rooms are because i get into it with others at the table because i want them to behave properly. u know not throw trash on the floor, or hold up the game coloring up chips or putting more on the table than theyre allowed to, or doing a lot of other stupid shit.
or i call the dealers out on little rude stuff they do they claim isnt rude. most all dont say thank u for their tips. and a massage girl did something awful. she was telling a guy yesterday at a table next to me she would much rather massage him and NOT have to massage the guy who was her customer at another table. that shouldve been grounds to have her fired.

my disappointment with sick call mc Gee
i briefly had my roll once up to a little bit over 20k again due to a ton of luck which i didnt deserve in both $1-2 NL at the big easy and in video BJ winnings. Within a week i had 3 high hands all of which were $500 and id won about $2500 on video blackjack over time and i knew i was due for a correction. But i also didnt want to change what was a good thing. So either Thursday or friday i cannot remember now that its Monday night already and im long overdue as usual in updating the damned blog. But i lost $4200 in one sitting trying to get unstuck from a small holdem loss of $200-300 and every other time that week id recovered it and a bit more because i kept winning big size bets or splits and double downs with those bets. but it was obvious it couldnt continue.
so that first day i lost all that in video BJ, (likeliest date was thrusday morning) i recovered about $1400 in PLO that day. i normally never play $1-2 PLO here in florida because i dont feel i have the roll for the swings in PLO and i was doing well enough in NL not to risk rocking the boat. because the buyins in PLO here are so much less than the $200 minimum in detroit. u see i thought if i ever came to south florida id spend all my time playing $100 minimum buyin $1-2 PLO but it didnt work out that way. also i found myself spending all my time in the Big Easy (some of u know it as the Mardi Gras casino) instead of Hialeah where i thought id be but its in a bad neighborhood not near any suitable motels. u would need an airbnb in far south miami far from the seminole which would be a long ways to go if u need 24 hour gambling. but that didnt stop Mc Gee from somehow finding a good deal way far off. now if u wanted to do all your playing at magic city (where the action is good for $1-2 NL but its never open 24 hours, his airbnb wouldve been close).
yes the Thrusday morning VBJ loss was $4200 while i was waiting for the poker to open at 10 am and the casino itself slots area opens at 9am. and i didnt feel like playing poker once i was stuck about $1000 by 10am, so i continued to play VBJ to get unstuck and i finally walked into the poker room noon or so. thats when i got a seat in the PLO when it opened and proceeded to buyin for the money i had left on me which was $524 left of over $4700 and i didnt buyin all at once but eventually got down to the last $200 and put it on the table. and finally began to start winning. at one point i was back from $200 all the way to $2243. and i left to go home with $1936.
and then i lost several hundred more on VBJ one more time before i checked out of my motel near Big easy and into a different motel a lot further north on sunday morning.
i wish id have committed to a shorter time period because i dont care for this poker room at all. i came because there is NO VBJ, but it might be legal soon once they get slots which im thinking will be approved soon. but this room unlike the big easy, takes $2 even if u steal the blinds preflop and u also have to post $2 on the button to make sure theres 3 blinds so they can rake the pot immediately on the flop. but i couldnt win in it just like i couldnt win at Gulfstream. (by the way i finally discovered wtf Mc gee wanted to go to such a horrible poker room.) Hint. theres a big shopping mall and he wasnt alone like i thought.
so when i heard them announce over the intercom theres a $5-10 NL blinds game with $100-300 buyin i thought thats weird, the $2-5 NL is $200-500 buyin. but it was true somehow and i went to play $5-10 NL and i lost my ass again
i shoved once with QQ when 3 people limped the $20 straddle because the guy behind me who hadnt acted yet woke up with KK and thats when i moved back to the lower limit game with my last $76. and i also lost a bunch of money when i missed a ace hi flush draw. and then i lost a big pot with AK once too when i was the best preflop when all the money went in. i did win a big pot once that had me back to only being down about $150 but forget the hand.
so in the $1-2 NL with my last $76, and i need money bad because since i lost all that on VBJ and lost the 2nd omaha session the following day at the big easy and am down to only $15k left of 20k the other day after huge lyft and hotel fees etc and another big expense at walmart loading up the fridge in my new and better hotel than i had near the big easy, and im slowly winning after first shoving with a bluff a bit frustrated and i think thats why i got paid off later on. im all the way back to $197 and if i double up one more time i think ill quit with a small loss of $125 or so but of course im still down over $325 so im still playing for now.
then this new lady middle aged and not good looking but thinks she is because of her jewelry gaudy and ugly like all jewelry sits on my immediate left and seems to know everyone. she is probably a lot more rich than the black guy next to me in the $5-10 NL who let me have his chicken fingers because he wasnt hungry. but i raised UTG to $7 with AA, (id preferred to limp reraise but so worried no one would raise im usually not worried about this and do it anyway but i didnt think nothing was going right today) a couple callers, including her and then a guy in late position makes it $17 which relieves me. i make it $67 and she thinks but calls the $67 with nothing but 66. the other guy is allin for less.
flop comes KJJ and i misread her for a big pair and i feared the flop so i checked. she checks. turn comes 6. we both check and i think im ahead. river comes 8 and we both check again and im shocked to see her hand. then she hits the high hand too in a few minutes.
and i lose the rest shortly thereafter when i have J2 in an unraised blind and she has ten2. flop comes A225T for me to lose to her boat.
i wonder if she was offended when i said i wish she wouldve never sat and totally ruined the only time i was happy the entire night(when i was back to $197 from the final $76 and thought i might substantially cut down the days loss). but i immediately quit. this west palm beach kennel club room sucks worse than any other poker room ive ever seen.
now the other day Mc Gee told me he was coming to florida for a poker cruise and he swore id need a passport then a few days later said he didnt need one. a guy at the table told me theres several cruise ships out of florida with either gambling with or without live poker and that u dont need a passport if they dont enter any foreign countries but ive no idea whats true. i couldnt find them online. and mc gee didnt give me a name.
so he flies into FLL airport from omaha and i told him about the free $25 signup card at the players desk in the big easy and assume hes coming but he went home and said he would see me tomorrow. and his airbnb is far out. and id been waiting since he had previously told me he would definitely not be tired and would play some poker first. and while waiting on him i lost back a few hundred. then i left and went home once i found out he went to his airbnb
the next day i dont wake up til after 2 pm and i thought id wake up sooner. so i find out where he is and it turns out he is at gulfstream. then i still convince him the big easy is a better room and i think hes coming as he tells me hes leaving soon. i later discover he is with his new girlfriend, (wonder if he knew her when he tried to rent me a place with him on airbnb in delaware a few months earlier?)
there are a lot of guys besides Mc Gee who have divorced their wife in the past year and made God unhappy and looked for a new woman. pretty much ALL 3 of them are friends or acquaintances of lightning. and one chiquita has the nerve to tell me i dont deserve a good woman, when really the only thing a good woman should want instead of money is a guy who wont ever desert her. it hasnt worked out for any of them and its made the women bitter and unhappy as far as i know at least for one who follows me on twitter whose husband recently kicked her to the curb in las vegas.
so when i discovered he was with a woman and wasnt by himself and would probably not be spending all his time at poker but instead keeping a woman happy, i decided it was worthless to try and meet up with mc gee and just focused on recovering my money. just like his old wife she makes far more than him and can easily support his habit. Maybe eventually he wont need $45 a night airbnbs.
and the reason i couldnt find an airbnb that low is i wanted it for 30 days when i did searches. i could get lower prices too if i moved every few days but thats a pain in the ass. the cheapest ones are always booked up for most of the time and dont have open months at a time vacancies at this time of the year in south florida. mc gee only wanted a very short time.
at least not when booking the last minute that is.
so that first day i lost all that in video BJ, (likeliest date was thrusday morning) i recovered about $1400 in PLO that day. i normally never play $1-2 PLO here in florida because i dont feel i have the roll for the swings in PLO and i was doing well enough in NL not to risk rocking the boat. because the buyins in PLO here are so much less than the $200 minimum in detroit. u see i thought if i ever came to south florida id spend all my time playing $100 minimum buyin $1-2 PLO but it didnt work out that way. also i found myself spending all my time in the Big Easy (some of u know it as the Mardi Gras casino) instead of Hialeah where i thought id be but its in a bad neighborhood not near any suitable motels. u would need an airbnb in far south miami far from the seminole which would be a long ways to go if u need 24 hour gambling. but that didnt stop Mc Gee from somehow finding a good deal way far off. now if u wanted to do all your playing at magic city (where the action is good for $1-2 NL but its never open 24 hours, his airbnb wouldve been close).

i shoved once with QQ when 3 people limped the $20 straddle because the guy behind me who hadnt acted yet woke up with KK and thats when i moved back to the lower limit game with my last $76. and i also lost a bunch of money when i missed a ace hi flush draw. and then i lost a big pot with AK once too when i was the best preflop when all the money went in. i did win a big pot once that had me back to only being down about $150 but forget the hand.
so in the $1-2 NL with my last $76, and i need money bad because since i lost all that on VBJ and lost the 2nd omaha session the following day at the big easy and am down to only $15k left of 20k the other day after huge lyft and hotel fees etc and another big expense at walmart loading up the fridge in my new and better hotel than i had near the big easy, and im slowly winning after first shoving with a bluff a bit frustrated and i think thats why i got paid off later on. im all the way back to $197 and if i double up one more time i think ill quit with a small loss of $125 or so but of course im still down over $325 so im still playing for now.
then this new lady middle aged and not good looking but thinks she is because of her jewelry gaudy and ugly like all jewelry sits on my immediate left and seems to know everyone. she is probably a lot more rich than the black guy next to me in the $5-10 NL who let me have his chicken fingers because he wasnt hungry. but i raised UTG to $7 with AA, (id preferred to limp reraise but so worried no one would raise im usually not worried about this and do it anyway but i didnt think nothing was going right today) a couple callers, including her and then a guy in late position makes it $17 which relieves me. i make it $67 and she thinks but calls the $67 with nothing but 66. the other guy is allin for less.
flop comes KJJ and i misread her for a big pair and i feared the flop so i checked. she checks. turn comes 6. we both check and i think im ahead. river comes 8 and we both check again and im shocked to see her hand. then she hits the high hand too in a few minutes.
and i lose the rest shortly thereafter when i have J2 in an unraised blind and she has ten2. flop comes A225T for me to lose to her boat.
i wonder if she was offended when i said i wish she wouldve never sat and totally ruined the only time i was happy the entire night(when i was back to $197 from the final $76 and thought i might substantially cut down the days loss). but i immediately quit. this west palm beach kennel club room sucks worse than any other poker room ive ever seen.
now the other day Mc Gee told me he was coming to florida for a poker cruise and he swore id need a passport then a few days later said he didnt need one. a guy at the table told me theres several cruise ships out of florida with either gambling with or without live poker and that u dont need a passport if they dont enter any foreign countries but ive no idea whats true. i couldnt find them online. and mc gee didnt give me a name.
so he flies into FLL airport from omaha and i told him about the free $25 signup card at the players desk in the big easy and assume hes coming but he went home and said he would see me tomorrow. and his airbnb is far out. and id been waiting since he had previously told me he would definitely not be tired and would play some poker first. and while waiting on him i lost back a few hundred. then i left and went home once i found out he went to his airbnb
the next day i dont wake up til after 2 pm and i thought id wake up sooner. so i find out where he is and it turns out he is at gulfstream. then i still convince him the big easy is a better room and i think hes coming as he tells me hes leaving soon. i later discover he is with his new girlfriend, (wonder if he knew her when he tried to rent me a place with him on airbnb in delaware a few months earlier?)
there are a lot of guys besides Mc Gee who have divorced their wife in the past year and made God unhappy and looked for a new woman. pretty much ALL 3 of them are friends or acquaintances of lightning. and one chiquita has the nerve to tell me i dont deserve a good woman, when really the only thing a good woman should want instead of money is a guy who wont ever desert her. it hasnt worked out for any of them and its made the women bitter and unhappy as far as i know at least for one who follows me on twitter whose husband recently kicked her to the curb in las vegas.
so when i discovered he was with a woman and wasnt by himself and would probably not be spending all his time at poker but instead keeping a woman happy, i decided it was worthless to try and meet up with mc gee and just focused on recovering my money. just like his old wife she makes far more than him and can easily support his habit. Maybe eventually he wont need $45 a night airbnbs.
and the reason i couldnt find an airbnb that low is i wanted it for 30 days when i did searches. i could get lower prices too if i moved every few days but thats a pain in the ass. the cheapest ones are always booked up for most of the time and dont have open months at a time vacancies at this time of the year in south florida. mc gee only wanted a very short time.
at least not when booking the last minute that is.

still in florida and the roll is growing dont see how with my expenses so high
Remember what happened in reno? i was down to only 14-15k from quite a bit more and i was worried i wouldnt be able to pay rent of $1600 a month so i wanted somewhere else for a lower price so i didnt tell the landlady i wanted to keep the place and when i started winning and did want to keep the place it was too late then as she had found a new tenant. and the sad thing is because of my Iphone being stolen at sams town several months later, ill never know her phone number again to contact her in the future.
i am washing my laundry but since i forgot to put my pajamas on to do it, i was only able to wash one of my two pairs of pants. dammit. i need to go buy a thrift store sometime and get another suitcase and more clothes. the one new pair of pants i bought here in florida at walmart did replace one other pair of pants but its not enough.
now just like reno im still paying too much for rent and again, im starting to win again at vbj when im not supposed to be. im all the way back to 17,400 and im up about $1200 or so on VBJ since coming to florida with probably about 30k in total coin in by now over the past 6 weeks and just like in reno these machines are completely unbeatable over the long run because they shuffle every hand. but remember how my roll came back in reno all the way to 32k by the time i left town.
funny thing is they have to be cheating on the VBJ in deadwood. those machines dont shuffle every hand and yet it was where mostly all the losses were, except for about $1500 worth of vbj losses in detroit.
i feel im going to lose on VBJ anytime so i keep locking money up in the bank. hell just last sunday 6 days ago i started off losing $1100 on VBJ. im now got everything but about $700 locked up in the bank. so im forced to bet small since u need money for larger sized doubles and splits which cannot be part of the initial bet. today i think i won about $75 on poker and about $140 on VBJ.
went home early, but ill be back once my laundry is finished and my blog is long overdue updated. its hard for me to want to keep playing once my 1% is made for the day. every day i want zero expenses and a 1% growth in my net worth, because then in 100 days it would increase by 100%.
once u get ahead u fear that the only thing u can accomplish thru continued play is to lose back everything u already won plus the initial buyin. but i know u cannot have a big winning session if u quit either. so im always praying that all the other players are buying in for the minimum so im not at risk i cannot stand it when others buyin for the maximum, especially if they are wild and loose.
i always wait til the last minute when its due to pay a bill such as rent instead of paying it early because i cant voluntarily bring myself to do anything to decrease the size of my bankroll on living expenses unless i have to. but sometimes i feel i should on the days i win more than what the next weeks rent is just so i always have increases in the roll and not a day in which my roll will have to decrease to pay the expense thats due that day every week on sunday. its the reason i wouldnt buy the annuity sickcallMcGee wanted me to that most of u considered a dumb idea. or sent lightning money to hold id in all likelihood never see again.
same thing at the table i quit when i give back 1% of my net worth. which means today i quit the table when i gave back $172 of the $340 that i at one point had my $129 in buyins total up to. played VBJ for a short time checked the SC OM GE UX AD machines and won about $21 and some on VBJ too and walked home.
im not comfortable with moving to $1-2 PLO in the morning when it starts usually between noon and 2pm. because its the same young regulars i feel are good players. anyone with a backpack or headphones, a laptop, or buys in deep and is there everyday isnt who want to play with. at night the games are better.

Magic city trip report
the other day i visited Magic City poker room for the first time, one of the few rooms i hadnt yet visited due to it being a long ways out and a much higher Lyft fare. On the way there, i met a person who frequents the casinos who is in a position to sell me something ill probably need soon for the cost of a few hundred. so i saved his phone number. and ive got mucus way down in my throat i keep needing to choke on and cough all day even though my cold ended a few days ago which is annoying.
if someone actually lived in Miami and felt comfortable staying in hotels there which are probably much more unsafe than the hotels near here, the casino is on a major shopping area which im sure has a lot of buses going by. the area i rode thru enroute didnt look like a very good neighborhood but that was 2-3 miles out.
and the game there was loose as hell for $1-2 NL. even looser than the big easy if its possible. one hand i had KK and a guy makes it $5 preflop with T6 suited. 2 call. i make it $37 and 2 guys call. flop comes AJ6 and the guy with the T6 bets and the other guy called with 33 and of course, i snap folded the winner with KK.
but when i quit the game, i was ahead. in fact i was up over $600 for the night because id won a few hundred on VBJ earlier when i couldve easily had a big loss on it.
and i decided to get my card made up and see if there was a promotion for signing up (only decent one is the $25 free at the big easy) and the promotion at magic city is $20 for 20 points. and on the video BJ, its $20 to get a point. so i went to play and found out some bad news. first, i couldnt get more than 1 card. so if i bet id have to take a lot of risk playing only one spot, or not get credit for most of my bets. meaning id need to bet 3x as much. and to find a BJ machine that wasnt full of people i had to use the $10 one instead of the $5 one.
i ended up getting stuck well over $600 by the time id earned my 20 points because i wasnt getting credit for most of my play. i originally tried 1 spot but i lost $10, then $11, then $22 then a big double and split, so i moved to 3 spots. and i couldnt help but feel like only i had the right to play and the others were foolishly throwing away their money so i dont listen when people tell me not to play. why? because im the only one using a card, (no one was out of about 15 people except one girl) so im the only one getting any points.
i wouldnt lost that much had i got 3 cards like most every other casino will allow.
if anyone remembers david matthews from roughing the punter who is a blackjack player, i ran into him at the casino today. he was in the PLO game but seen me. according to twitter he is a huge anti trump liberal. the world will never be a better place and get rid of all the hate until Bernie sanders no longer exists. he is the one pushing all the hate, or more truthfully, his cult like followers. too bad the democrats wont pick Tulsi who accepts us. she isnt very happy right now with Iran and Trump and who is to say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing Trump killed that general. i just dont want Russia and China to offer to nuke us to help Iran.
i stole a few pots today and finally got my first hi hand which i sold for $500 and i couldve got more because it wouldve held up. i actually wouldve sold it for less. it was worth $600 so i felt he offered a lot, but QQQQT only had to hold up for 8 more minutes. after the dealer got her tip i still had $480.
then i played hours and left about 10 hours later and i won at VBJ too earlier so i made about $1000 for the day which helps out and on the way home, deposited $800 in the ATM.

The addiction is strong
Hard to believe ive been in Florida a month now. Im still holding onto $12,200 of the $14,400 i came with, and i dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing. its really bad that its still decreasing when im down so low theres not anything left to lose. But since coming i have spent almost $2000 or more on hotel rooms. so im not really losing anything gambling. in fact im ahead from the poker still, although the last few days havent been so good. over $1000 has been lost on VBJ, and i dont know for sure because im still not keeping records on my phone anymore like i need to be. but i think im up over $1000 from poker. im probably up over $2000 from poker because of VBJ losses, a few hundred in Lyft fees and a few hundred at walmart and family dollar.
i need to be somewhere where there are NO VBJ terminals with virtual dealers. which is a pretty hard task, considering most places where theres poker theyre everywhere. i didnt use to play these things so much or at least used to avoid the ones that cant be beaten since they shuffle every hand. although sometimes i wonder since on rare occasions one of your cards spins around and around a lot when its being dealt. ive managed to find 1-3 places in florida somewhat north of here where their is no vbj terminals in the poker room but id have to relocate and travel again. but considering hotels would be a little bit less, maybe i should. Maybe between $50-150 a week less.
my hotel where im at is a lot less than all the other motels around here, thats why im paying a little less than $500 a week. thats for a place in the ghetto that got flooded in a huge rainstorm however. i dont think there will be another rainstorm so bad Lfyt cars wont be able to make it thru intersections a mile or 2 away anymore however.
i do worry about my teeth however. something in there is going to need repaired soon, but i cant tell what because theres not really any teeth to remove except for the ones that are quite important. hopefully Ray keeps his dental appointment. his are in the same shape as mine.
After i paid my rent this sunday though, i still had $13,800 so $12,200 is really bad. i didnt lose today but the last 2 days i blew a ton of money on VBJ. plus a little of it, about 1 4th of it, at poker.
today i found myself playing BINGO of all things, because they give out free bingo cards for slot players who earn more than 25 points. so i had a shot at a bingo once for $200 free play but i didnt get it and all the other bingo games i never was close to a winner. i made some bad plays earlier in poker when i got put on tilt by the guy straddling 3 times in a row, forcing me to act first. i dont think i should immediately ask for a seat change because usually they stop and i wouldnt want to sit in the middle of the table to have better position on his straddles. but i never know how to counteract the straddle because in reno and deadwood, the position isnt screwed up so u arent put in the same disadvantage when someone straddles.
i raised allin for my last $35 with JJ and the straddle and 1 other guy called and the straddle only had 79 and he won with 2 pair, and i won the $16 side pot with JJ. yes the guy was straddling with an even shorter stack than me, so hes an idiot. and then i paid the new guy off with AK because i thought he might be bluffing when i missed the flop because he flat called my raise preflop with immediate position on me, which is another tough play to fight, the guy who floats all your raises. turns out he had QQ and the flop of J54 i called him down thinking he might be on the draw out there. had i not been stuck i probably wouldnt have called, but i fear people know who i am and sit on my left just to make moves against me. its why i try to carefully select who is on my left.
im sure theres a lot of interesting things ive forgot about since it took me too long to post. i opened a swc account under the name 1baddude if someone else would like to send any chips. this way i have something to do in the room.
