I have'nt posted recently as I haven't played except online in LL MTT's. I have not been to the felt since I came back from Tunica. The last night I was there, I got in a tough 1-3nl game at Harrah's in Tunica with $300.00 and left with $195.00 to kill my semi-win streak I was putting together in cash games. The game was tough, and I probably should have left once I saw how it was transpiring but stayed because I was staying there...and I wanted to play. It was that or 4-8 limit. There was not a weak spot at the table, and you know what they say if you get to the table and you can't spot the sucker...Well...in this game there were no suckers. I made 2 tough calls on one hand after 30 minutes to gain respect when I had pocket QQs and a King hit the turn.
The villian check called my flop bet and then fires out after the K hits the turn. I had the guy on a low pocket pair...like 7's or 5's. and I don't think he was playing it like he had hit a set. I tanked again on the river once he fired a 3/4 pot size bet...I say, "I'll pay you off man...I call". He just kind of sat there, and I knew I had him. He was not the slow-roll type and after a few seconds, I decide to give him a pass and tabled my queens and as expected, he quickly mucked his hand. He said he had A-J. This was one of those tables where everyone knew each other (Besides Me) but were not good friends...they all had respect for each others game...etc. It was funny because at some point in the 4 hours, each and everyone of them went to the bathroom, and as they left the table, a converation ensued about that person and his game...etc. It was a tough table...not like the night before.
You guys will see on the site that Monkey got embroiled in a somewhat accusatory thread on 2+2 involving Jon "FieryJustice" L, Shannon S and some other folks. I am glad to say that the last time I checked the thread ...the topic had turned away from Monkey and onto JL and him letting people play on his FT account. I have been through these types of "Flame Wars" before and it amazes me how they morph. I mean it went from a hacker got into JLs AIM account...to SS interacting with the hacker as he trys to get SS to ship money to Monkey's stars account...to Monkey being accused of being the hacker...Monkey shows up to defend himself and lashes back as he knows he is innocent on top of being scammed for about 5 hundo...to Squirrel getting involved to defend him...then ...we go to Monkey and Squirrles grammer being scrutinized as the verbige in their post was thought to be written by the same person ...to several threads later ...Analysing Monkey's post about his dogs to try to fiqure out if he was lying...YES PEOPLE....Monkey and Squirrle are dog lovers and YES...they do have more than one dog...It was "BEYOND BIZZARE". Several of us came to Monkey's defense and got him off tilt as he admitted to making some bonehead moves...but hey, don't we all...and hopefully this thing is over. Now we just need for the thread to end. In case you havent seen it...enjoy http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/news-views-gossip/someone-just-hacked-my-aim-jcardshark11-305792/
I was surfing on some of the poker sites to see what was happening and went to see what is going on over at NeverWin. What has TonyG been up to and how is he making the site intresting and low and behold ...They now have a radio show. I downloaded the latest show with Dutch Boyd and I must admit, it is entertaining in its own "Sick ass...Neverwin way". I kind of like Dutch as I was having some beers years ago at Replays, the sportsbar in the now Harrah's Tunica (Formely the Grand), when he and Joe Bartholdi came in and sat a couple of stools away. They immediately introduced themselves as they were already a little buzzed(I acted like I didn't know who they were) and began cutting up and having fun. They were just like regular guys having a beer with your buddies and having fun. They did not come across as anything more ...although this was before JoeB hit the WPT Championship...Anyhow...
The NeverWin Radio show...It consisted of Brian Micon, Todd "DanDruff" Whittles who called into the show on a skype phone and was waaaayyyyy tooooooo loud. The sound need to be turned down on him...and then Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf called in about 3 sheets, no more like 10 sheets, to the wind. The dude was as loaded as a freight train. It sounded to me that the rumors of him eating tons of Oxycotin and other dope are spot on. The dude could barely complete a thought much less a sentence. It was so funny how they suttelly dog each other. Todd Whittles is the only sane/logical/semi-normal one of the bunch over there at NeverWin and his distain for the other degenerates comes out even though he tries to hide it. When Dustin started to speak on this particular episode, Todd started to laugh but stopped himself. It was obviously he knew Dust was loaded...and the tension between him and Micon has already been documented. I personally think that DanDruff thinks their both rambling idiots...but thats me.
This particular show was pretty intresting as Dutch detail the rise and fall of Pokerspot. Pokerspot is the online poker site that he and his brother Bobby started and it went busto. They were the first online poker site to have MTT's though...pretty intresting stuff...if you have over an hour to burn ...download it. Reminded me a little of Austin Martin and Letspoker.
These hands below will describe how I have been feeling lately about online poker...
