first entry

New to blogging i figured i would give an intro, even though i don't know how long IL do this or how many ppl will read it. My name is Richard and i am 26 years old, i went to school for kinesiology but am a professional poker player. I love sports and gambling and doing rediculous things, also i love drinking and girls, not in the same way ofcourse. I figure most postings will discuss one or more of these topics, and hopefully i wont get myself into too much trouble talking truthfully about the people i care about.

This weekend had a lot of weird elements to it, i went to a party in the town i grew up in. I had slept with the hosts little sister a few years back and we seem to get along now even though i am pretty sure he doesnt feel comfortable around me, nevertheless many other friends are attending the party so i was not feeling to uncomfortable. Also attending was this nightmare of a girl that i used to date, i dated her for a few weeks before i realized that she was borderline retarded, she looks like courtney love and talk like a valley girl, she also is high maintenance like a valley girl but her looks dont warrant that type of nonsense to put up with. As if i didnt shit where i eat often enough i decided to bring my new girlfriend to the party, in fact she wasnt my girlfriend until after that nights drunking conversation, dont get me wrong normally drunk richard gets me in trouble more often than not but in this case i didnt mind because i was starting to like this girl. She was pretty good at handling ruthless jokes and wasnt a push over, this is a must if your going to hang out with me.

Anyway so we show up at the party around 4pm for bbq and getting it going early, the nightmare girl is there and im praying drunk richard doesnt start shit. On top of my recipe for disaster we were doing the wizard...the wizard of course if where you duct tape each empty beer to the next full one until you have what appears to be a wizard staff, when your staff is above your head wizard status is achieved. A recipe for disaster given the lineup at this party. 24 tall cans later i was the hit of the party with many ppl having wizard envy, i had also heard the host smiling to my face and talking shit behind my back but i knew he just didnt like playing 2nd fiddle to anyone, strong personalities tend to clash but i was in too good of a mood to confront him...like i said 24 tall boys.....i felt great and was mingling with the ppl i wanted to hang out with, my new gf vanessa was great, not only was she having a good time and not giving me shit for being wasted she was essentially encouraging it. dont you hate girls that cant have a good time and they just follow you around....fuck i hate that shit...but i plunked her in the middle of 40ppl she didnt know with about 4 she had recently met and a bitter host and another bitter datee...is that a word? it should be...someone who you dated...because i would never caller her an ex gf....thats reserved for ppl i fuck sober....did i mention i can be ruthless. Anyway i was super impressed with the new girl and wasnt at all mad at drunk richard for saying he loved her,...ahhahah wow i am retarded....but lets keep the drunk richard as an alter ego it makes me feel better about criticizing him.

Also on a side note while i planned to sleep in my car that night with the new girl we got started up and sex in a car is quite annoying especially when your my size....so i thought...drunk richard thought sorry....that it was a good idea to hop outside the car to finish fucking.....then threw her on the next car beside us...happened to be my good buddies car...and finished off.....as i was well ya know....i look over and 2 people walked by and looked right at us....no more than 15 feet away.....hahhaha what a greasy whore show that party was. on the whole though i managed not to get into it with anyone and had a good time.

the next day i rolled home and played some bball with the guys before my big sunday tourny. I was excited to play the big one because the week b4 i had my nfl fantasy draft dynasty league and my concentration was elsewhere than poker...ofcourse this sunday my buddies rented madden 2010 and we were doing our draft on there while i played cards too and again i didnt concentrate much...i even let my one buddy a break even poker player in 3$ super turbo sngos hahhaha i let him play for 20 minutes while i tried to play with my new raiders draft team, out of the corner of my eye i see him fold qq preflop in a unraised pot and i take back my comp for good....ohh seebby cant handle 4 tables at once....after debating on how manytables i could handle i decide to prove it....by registering for ever mulit i could see and 90 man sitngos...i was rocking 20 screens and they were all impressed....however an hour later i had won only 1 10 dollar 45 man sitngo for a measly 170 $ and my big sunday tourny was gone. Idiot can i blame that one on drunk richard...guess not....seb is living at my place now after my sister moved out...he is only there for a month and i am hoping my other buddy holland will live with me starting oct 1....avoiding randomness would be nice.

since this should mostly be about poker im going to describe one hand and then end this 1st entry before it gets too long hahha too late? ok so my last tourny from sundaywas this dinky little $5rebuy 6 man mtt with about 800 players....1st place is 3500 .....with 11 ppl left i have 500k blinds at a very manageable 5-10k....i had been destroying every table with these weak sunday fields its not too hard...i had been raising 2.2x the bb almost 30% of the time....i could tell ppl were getting iritated but they would only call so i kept raising. Here is a hand that comes up.

utg at a 5 man table i open for 22.999 with j7s the 2 hole calls with 600k back and everyone else folds at this point he was the only one who had me covered at my table i was 4th in the tournament....the flop brigns 10s8d6s with about 70k in the pot and 480 k back i was thinking about what to do, i could easily just follow here but i didnt want to face a big raise forcing me to shove for my whole tourny with a draw albeit a nice little draw, i figured if i hit i would be winnign a pretty big pot anyway, so i elect to check the flop and he bets 60k into a 70k pot...again shoving here wouldnt have been horrible but i decided to call, the turn bring the 5h giving me some more outs with now and open ender to add to my overcard and flush draw...i check again feeling he would have to shove to get me to fold this hand...i was happy to pay for my draw with 420k still in my stack. he checked the turn back to me and i didnt have much time to analyse what exactly that meant because the second he did it the 9c hit the river i thought to myself this was the best card to hit.,...flush is too obvious plus that bet check could have been a bigger flush draw, the little straight is ok but it makes it hard to pay me off with a 4 card straight on the board...this 9 was nice also because if the off chance he had a 7 he would be hard pressed to fold to any bet i made, and ofcourse my j7 would beat his straight...so with this in thought i bet125k into a now 190k pot hoping for a call...when he instantly shoves all in. A couple thoughts briefly enter my mind in the 3 seconds it took me to call, 1st was i cant fold this...in fact i said it outloud, then i thought about how it was a sunday 5rebuy...full of morons...i called and he shows qjd and i lose out in 11th place for a shitty $170, the betting fit fine for his hand in retrospect, he took a stab on the flop, amitious givin the texture but common what am i expecting from a random 5rebuy sunday player, the turn he gives up with a few outs and hits it. The river call is tough because he could possibly have shoved a bare 7 but that would be tough to have given the action it would have to be 77....either way not a big deal just a fun hand that put me out, i need to start winnign these small tournies to build back my bankroll, 170 to 3500 is such a nice jump and i need to do it...i have been gettign late and not finishing the job...am i tryin to do too much....ofcourse i didnt have to raise j7s...i could have followed...althoguh i think most tards call on that flop with 2 overs and a gutter to the nuts....i like being aggressive but sometimes i find myself in weird spots....this was simply a cold deck i think
