If you were a SuperHero

Filed under Biggestron, HPT, poker

My Super Power would be Agitation.  That was a Quote from Air Force Steve about 15 minutes in after Rake Feeder made what i thought was a smart ass compliment and replied with ” We can’t all play as well as you now can we:”

“Mine would be getting knocked out first in home games that I should crush.” Rake feeder

Saturday nite I took the nite off from my weekend Bar tending Gig to play in the HPT which is a Local Homegame in Massachusetts. Only 20 players showed but we had some tough Competition with 5 or 6 Bloggers there.

Rake Feeder, Biggestron, Poker dave, ITTOLM and his co Author Air Force Steve,

20 People 5k in chips with 20 min levels starting at 25-25. Would it surprise you to find we lost only a single player for the first 3 levels and that was Rakefeeder who was Gigli.

See that is the problem With Rakefeeder he thinks he should always win. Where as I know that even though i am ok i don’t expect to win there every time since you have some really good players and some terrible players who don’t know how to fold which is worse than the good players in my opinion.

2 tables of 10 and Byron draws the easy table with 6 weak players where as My table had Rake Feeder, Poker dave, Ittolm and AFS with really only 1 weak player and that weak player has been getting better. I busted out in like 14th after basically getting zero cards to play for 2 hours I woke up with JJ and pushed my 3275 and got snap called by my immediate left who had AA and just like that I was out.

My timing was good with my bustout since the early car back to Worcester was just about to leave so i passed on the baby cash game and got home to get a good nites sleep. I had to work at the Bar sunday 1-8:30 so sleep is always good.

But It is always fun to get together and play cards with some really nice people and fellow Bloggers.

Peace

Celtics Storm Back and Blogger Controversy

Welcome to the Donkey Show.

I actually considered turning of the Boston Celtics / La Chokers NBA finals game last night as my Boston Celtics set a new record in the finals by being down 21 points at the end of the 1st Quarter.

21 points at the end of the first Quarter which was a NBA Finals Record and it didn’t look good, Actually the Point where I was going to change the channel was when the Celtics managed to climb back to 12 or 13 and then the Lakers managed to run it back to 20 and I was losing Hope. I had said if the Celts could get it to 10 by the half and 5 by the end of the 3rd they could have a chance. Well Holy shit they managed to put a run together before the half and get it down to 18 by the Half. Not exactly where they wanted to be but Atleast they showed some life and if you have followed the Celtics all year and thru the Playoffs you would know they are a 2nd half team. And true to form they came out in the 3rd Quarter and Played Defense against Kobe “the Rapist” Bryant and his band of Soft European Players.

The fact that the Celtics Managed to knock the Lead down to 2 points by the end of the 3rd and this game was all but over. You could see it on the faces of the Lakers they were defeated.

I thought before the NBA finals started that the Celtics would win in 6 games But I may have been wrong it now looks like they will win it in 5. Does anyone think the Lakers are going to win game 5?

Not I especially after last nights Historic Collapse. Funny I thought Phil Jackson was the Best Coach in the NBA? How is it the Best coach can’t figure out how to hold a 22 then 18 point lead with the Best player in the Game?

Anyone else think Phil Jackson is OVERATED? He did coach the best Player EVER in Michael Jordan to 6 titles but I fail to see the Mans Genius. I could have coached Jordan and his merry Bunch to 3 of the 6 titles. his other 3 titles were with SHAQ and KOBE “the Rapist” again the 2 best players in the league.

Did anyone notice that Kobe “the Rapist” walked off the Court with 3 seconds left and went to the locker Room? Why isn’t he being Lambasted Like Bill Belechick was at the SuperBowl?

OVERRATED. I will take Doc Rivers who is Outcoaching the Great Phil Jackson this whole series.

CELTICS IN 5 BABY. TITLE #17 IS ON THE WAY. Sorry Smokkee guess you will have to keep up your LAME 18-1 barb.

Moving on to the Blogger Drama.

Who doesn’t love a little Blogger Drama. First we have CK letting us know about Donkette and then we find out that Hoyazo created a fake blog to hide his Identity for the Bodog Blogger series.

Go read Blinders “Calling Hoyazo Out As a Scumbag Cheat” Post.

Now I will go on Record as saying I have NO PROBLEM with HOYAZO playing the BODOG BLOGGER tourney under a Different name I do wish he had disclosed who he was but He did nothing wrong. this is not cheating nor is it akin to Multi Accounting as Blinders says. I do think there is an Ethical Dilemma here especially from a Lawyer who should have some working knowledge of Ethical Behavior.

What I do have a Problem with is his taking Shots at other Bloggers while Hiding behind a Pseudonym. If you want to be critical of others then Do it like a man not hiding behind your fake blog while you post on your regular blog as yourself without the same Insults of other Bloggers. You want to rag on us fine but do it and Own up to it.

I Play these Blogger tourneys Cause for the most part I like playing with a group of people who for the most part know how to play and for the Good Natured Ribbing and Camaraderie Yes there are a bunch of Cliques and some poor behavior but for the most part its all in good fun and I am always up for the challenge.

I hope that there will be a BBT4 simply for the fact that since the BBT3 has ended I really haven’t felt like playing many Blogger tourneys. Maybe it was the Fact that for the last 3 months I felt almost compelled to play with all the Wonderful Prizes AL managed to wrangle from Full Tilt Poker. So now that its over I almost feel like Meh I can skip it for a few weeks.

I also want to thank Smokkee and Bodog for putting on the Bodog Blogger Series. Yes Bodogs software leaves a little to be desired but they treated us great.

It looks like Goldenhammer who won the Bodog TOC is going to take the 2500 instead of the 12k wsop seat. If that is true it really is a shame but well within his rights but a shame since I am guessing most everyone else would actually go to the wsop rather than take the $2500 bucks from Bodog.

I will have a write up on my 10 hour session at Foxwoods with RakeFeeder tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and for all the Fathers I hope you have a great Fathers day.

May is The International Masturbation Month So Get a Grip Folks.

Riverchasers Poker Tonight, BBT3 Coming Down the Home Stretch

Welcome to the Donkey Show

Did anyone know that May is International Masturbation Month? I just found out there was a challenge also.

Shay said:

“Now, don’t think that you have to spending your free time in May cooped up in your room “celebrating” Masturbation Month alone. Masturbation can be plenty of fun with other consenting peers - you could even organize your own masturbation party!

In fact, if you live near San Fran, you could check out the Masturbate-a-thon on May 25th; if you live near Portland, you could attend their Masturbate-a-thon on May 31st.
OR, if you’re like me and don’t live near either, participate online from home and help raise money for the causes these events support.
Hope you’re ready for a ton of wank-tastic fun all month long here at The S Spot!”

Sounds like this is Right up Waffles Alley if you know what I mean. Shit its For Charity for christsakes so What if you will go to hell or get hairy palms but that is the chance I and Waffles will have to take.

May is International Masturbation Month Now in it’s 13th Year.

Tonight’s Riverchasers is the next to Last Riverchasers Tourney in the BBT3. We had another Repeat Winner last night with Omgitspokerfool beating Pureprophet Heads up for the win. Both OMG and Pureprophet had TOC seats so it ended pretty quickly.

So the TOC is Down to 48 Max and My Slim chance Keeps getting alittle better. Even Though According to the WORLDS BEST POKER PLAYER I am Dead Money But The last time I won my WSOP Main Event seat I only had to beat 32 players for 1 seat and my odds are much better this time since there are 2 WSOP Main Event Seats up for grab in the TOC along with TWO 2k packages to the World Series of Poker. Full Tilt Really Came thru When AlCantHang Grabbed em by the Balls and asked Nicely. So everyone Please Make sure you say a Big thank you to ALCanthang the Next time you end up at his table and If you ever meet him Live Buy him a Shot of Southern Comfort. Cause He certainly doesn’t get enough credit for all the Hard Work he puts into it behind the scenes.

I know the Freeroll for having the Banner is on a Saturday when Some Bloggers will be in Vegas or Others at WORK but why would the TOC be on a Saturday? No other BBT3 Tourney was played on a Saturday. Sunday Night would Have been the Perfect time Like the Big Game or even 7 or 8 or 9 est since most of the west coast folks would be Home on a Sunday at that time but it wouldn’t be Too late for the East Coasters And Let me just say that The East Coast folks are at a Disadvantage for Most of the BBT3 tourneys with 10pm est starting times Considering that they usually do Not end till well after 1 and sometimes 2 am.

This is in No way a Criticism it is just my opinion that the TOC should be on a Sunday, Monday,Tuesday or Weekday or Thursday when we NORMALY play our Blogger Tourneys.
Don’t Get me Wrong if it is a Saturday Night I will be taking the Night off from My 2nd Job to Play.
