HORSE Tourney
I made it quite deep into the 8:15ET HORSE Tourney on FullTilt last night. As usual, I never got the commanding chip stack and was usually at or below average. I held on for dear life a few times, but without the stats in front of me, I'd have to say that I did extremely well when I did take a hand deep. I played very good, patient poker, really only getting my money in bad one time when a guy made two pair in stud. He had (T6)T6 to start...I had (AA)2, but my final board came (AA)234x(5) for the wheel, and he never improved off his two pair. Of course, donktard took the opportunity to type that I "always suck out on him". First, I don't ever recall playing against him before. Second, I checked the hand history, and that was the one and only hand I contested with him to that point. Third, he would return the favor on me later on.
I made it past the third break, and when we restarted, it was Razz. Didn't play a single hand and the antes started eating away with me. When we flipped to Stud Hi, I was dealt (JJ)8, completed it and got one caller. 4th street missed me, but I continued and he raised with two diamonds showing. Hmmmmm. I call. 5th street misses again. I check and he insta-bets. I think, fold, and then smile when he flips over an A-high flush. Got away about as cheaply as I could, but with levels this high (1500/3000 or so), this hurt.
Then a few hands later, I have split 8s. The bring-in is to my left, and it folds around to the (X X)A to my right who naturally completes it. I go in the tank and decide to make a move at it by completing. He just calls, so I figure he's not paired up. 4th street misses me, but I reraise him and go all-in.
djm182 shows [8d Jh 8h 3c] << just about a 2:1 favorite here.
SylverLeaf shows [5d Ks As Qh]
Of course, he pairs his Q on 5th and pairs his K on 6th. I also made two pair, but 7th street missed me and I went out in 12th overall out of 150 runners. Not bad. Also not the payday I've been seeking.

Dienst
Jonathan Dienst, now a reporter for the NBC affiliate in NYC, was the voice of Colgate hockey during my early days on campus. It became the saying around our dorm that "to Dienst" was "to screw up", as he was noticeably poor at play-by-play - even for a crack college radio station. It should be noted that he was also a complete prick to my roommate and I when we auditioned to call Colgate basketball games. We never really had a chance anyway - we had either the wrong greek letters on our shirts or no greek letters.
Well anyway, Dienst sure screwed up the Mitchell Report reporting. This is about as surprising at Clemens being featured in the report itself. I'm glad to see both these arrogant assholes get what came to them.

Steroids and Records
Everyone is up in arms after the Mitchell Report, and I can understand this. But people keep scratching their heads about why steroid/PED use in Baseball is more of a media issue than it is in Football, where Pro Bowl caliber players like Rodney Harrison and Shawne Merriman have been caught and suspended within the past year-plus.
It's simple. How many tackles did Harrison have last year? How close is he to the NFL record for interceptions or tackles? What about Merriman? And what are the hallowed records they are chasing? Of course you don't know this - not without looking it up. But we know all about records and milestones in baseball. 755/763 Home Runs. A .300 batting average. 300 wins. 100 RBI. 56 games. Every user in baseball can have his place in history called into question because we know the significance of the numbers. It's what makes baseball so great and what makes the presence of PEDs there so eye-catching.

Michigan Snow
Before the snowfall eased up Sunday night, 10.5 inches had fallen in Michigan's Ann Arbor, and a similar amount in Jackson County, the National Weather Service said."It's winter," said Ann Arbor resident Linda Thelen, 53, as she and her husband dug out their home. "I expect a couple of these each year."
Oh STFU. I lived there for five years. I can count on one *finger* the number of significant snow falls the region had.
Everybody in SE Michigan thinks they get the worst winter weather and they're full of shit on all but one point - it's cloudy there from November through April - at least when the lakes haven't frozen - making the area more dismal than it already is. But they do NOT get an excess amount of snow - they're just completely incapable of handling it, as the local and city governments are broke and/or corrupt.
The one big snowstorm I remember was in the winter of 98-99. We got about a foot of snow - the kind of storm that here in beautiful upstate NY may cause the schools to shut for a day or open late. It closed some Detroit city schools for two weeks.
Shameful. Joke. Michigan.
PS. Congratulations on getting your third choice to coach the fighting maize & blue ground rodents.

LoDuca Signs with Nats
...and fires a shot across the bow at the Mets.
Well Paul, Fuck You. You don't suppose the Mets didn't want to resign you for any of these reasons, do you?
* Your 80 OPS+ in 2006
* Your 36 years of age shortly after opening day
* Your inability to throw out a runner
Thanks for your service, but your time and performance in Flushing has been horribly overrated by the knownothings. Enjoy DC. And keep your trap shut.

Urinals
How can people constantly *miss* the urinal? Half of the times I go to the mens room in the office, there's a puddle of pee on the floor in front of the urinal and I end up standing with my feet spread far apart to avoid splashing around in it.
When the big fat Chairman of the Board was still around, there was always a puddle and you *knew* it was him. He couldn't possibly see down there anyway. But how do you explain it for everyone else? There aren't that many huge "joes" around here, and unless there are some incredibly small weiners and guys who just can't reach the urinal right in front of them, I can't explain the constant puddles. Plus, wouldn't the offenders here have piss stains all down the front of their pants?
Truly a mystery to me.

Pats/Ravens
It was like watching Al Qaeda battle the Nazis (or Michigan vs. Notre Dame) ...compelling competition, but impossible to root for either side to win. And as expected, everyone involved handled themselves with class. Belichick looked like he climbed out from under a refrigerator box. Rodney Harrison taunted the other teams head coach (!). Billick, of course, taunted right back with his kissing act. Bart Scott racks up 30 yards of penalties in one play, including heaving an officials flag toward the stands. And the penalties...ooohhh the penalties. Watson was held on the one play, but that ball was thrown into double coverage and he wasn't catching it - hold or no hold. Gaffney's TD had to stand, but had it been ruled incomplete on the field, it wouldn't have been overturned. One of those plays right on the fence. Here's what nobody is talking about - the referee was completely out of position to see whether or not Gaffney had possession of the ball.

Winter Meetings
I have this feeling of anticipation/dread around Omar's forthcoming actions at the Winter Meetings this week. Kind of like the feeling you have when you're about to open up a Christmas present from someone who isn't quite in tune with what you'd like. It could be a homerun...it could be several pairs of lackluster socks.
Last week's Milledge for Church/Schneider trade was socks (Schneider) with an interesting little gift card (Church) with all sorts of decent potential thrown in. It wasn't an Eddie Bauer or Best Buy gift card - rather a Kohl's card. Some upside, but limited upside.

Worst One in a While
Ever since returning from vacation and then the trip to France, I haven't played much, but when I have played the cards have been dead and good things just aren't happening.
But this SNG was different. I won a big hand with pocket rockets, and then I woke up with them again, and doesn't this just play out perfect. For a while:

Token
I've decided to play more SNGs where top prize is a token. Tonight, my $4.40 was in search of a $26 token. Let's see what transpired.
Hand #1. Let's watch AJo misplayed. I'm in the BB for this.
Hand #5. Here's AJo played cautiously
Hand #7: The oh-so-critical suckout
Hand #8: The laydown
Hand #13: The deck smacks me in the face
*I now have >1/2 the chips in play...13 minutes into this and through two blind levels. Time to milk the clock and pick my spots.
19 minutes in: Suckout #1
27 minutes in: Suckout #2
28 minutes in: Suckout #3
...and now I'm the average stack.
djm182: that's how it's gonna have to happen
32 minutes in...waaaayyyyy behind
...and now I'm the short stack (!!) WTF!!!...
40 minutes in: Sometimes it helps to get lucky
41 minutes in: It's down to heads up
53 minutes in: Any two cards
One hour in: If you keep this shit up, I'm gonna catch you
Hand #1. Let's watch AJo misplayed. I'm in the BB for this.

AIPS II.3 Recap
Pot-Limit Omaha was the fare today in the third event of AIPS II. I've read a bit and played a few SNGs in advance, so I had at least a bit of a clue headed into it. Still, nothing that would lead me to think I'd make any noise in this event. And I didn't. Though I did have a couple of very interesting hands along the way.
I was card dead for about the entire first hour, winning only a couple of measly pots. One out of the big blind when I hit two pair on the flop, bet 1/2 pot and scared everyone away. Another when it folded around to me in the BB. Yippee.
With my stated goal of making it to the first break, I get dealt this hand:
I don't like the three diamonds, but this is about as good as I've had all day. I limp in and see this flop:
I'm in late position - only one to act behind me - and it checks around to me. I make a half pot bet and get one caller
The 3h comes on the turn, and I only have 498 chips left so I shove 'em all in, fearing the hell out of an A2 or 67. The opponent stews - he HAS to call and he does and shows this:
ye Gods. Nut flush draw. But he's not yet paired so he can't make a better two pair or a straight with what he's got. I have to dodge eight outs (all remaining clubs, save 4c which would boat me up). And I do and I survive to the break.
Then the second verse is the same as the first. I go card dead again and whittle my chips down in the second hour. I have just under 700 chips left and I'm about to pay a 300 chip BB when...
...I get moved to a different table. And I'm UTG + 2 so I get a couple of bonus hands out of this. Of course, i can play none of them. Finally when the BB comes to me, I stare down at:
It's go time. And huzzah!
QUADS, baby, and I'm back in it. Now I have over 2200 chips, which is still less than 10 BBs, but at least I can take a shot at seeing a flop or two (remember, it's Omaha where limping is common and encouraged).
Four hands later I'm out. Here's the gory detail:
Finished 22nd overall out of 65. Far better than my expectations. And even though I'm disappointed that I went out on *this* hand, I got all my chips in ahead with a pretty darn good PLO hand.

Forecast Clusterfrick
This might be the poorest-worded forecast ever. What the hell am I supposed to do each time the forecast changes tomorrow?
The sad thing is that there will be people who buy this sh*t that the weather changes on the hour, every hour.

AIPS II: Stud
Well my expectations were very low for this event. Stud is my least favorite of the HORSE games, and I have little knowledge as to how to play it. My strategy going in was to wait for good starting hands, play position (relative to the bring-in) aggressively when appropriate, and hope for some luck.
It started off with me getting a handful of pairs to start, and never once improving. I stole a couple of smaller pots, but was just holding on. About 35 minutes in, I get a face-up A in early position. I complete it, and it folds around to the bring-in who calls. I don't improve 'til 6th street when I pair up a J, but I'm representing a good hand the whole way and he's calling me the whole way. On my 6th street bet he raises with a pair of 2s showing. Long story short, he was dealt [3 3] 2, then drew A 4 2 to follow and spiked a third 2 on 7th street for a boat. I'm down to 643 chips and I'm reeling.
Five hands later, down to 598 chips, I wake up with [K K] A. Now my A was one of three showing and I was the next-to-last A to act and I decided to raise no matter what and play this hand super-aggressively. It ends up with *five* people going to 4th street (uh oh). I draw a blank. I raise (yes, raise) to 2x and again, all five people make it to 5th street. Yet another blank, but I bet it again and this time at least two people get out of the way. Still, I'm vulnerable as all heck, though nobody's board looks particularly fearsome. On 6th street, one guy picks up a straight-draw, but I bet out and go all-in. Two callers to 7th street and I still just have my Ks.
And isn't this beautiful:
*** 7TH STREET ***
Dealt to djm182 [Ks Kd As 3d 2s Qh] [Kh]
Trip kings defeated AA and 88 respectively.
I then go on to win three of the next four pots, and (OMG, WTF), I'm in 4th place overall. Ye Gods, I have no business being in the top half of this field and was *thisclose* to being on the rail. Now I'm in 4th.
Right before the first break, I wake up with As Js 7s, land a fourth spade on 4th street, and only one other spade is burnt. Of course, I only end up making a measely pair of 5s, but that holds up as the other guy was also chasing a flush that never came. That gave me over 5200 chips...and this:
The mother f*ng chip lead in a Stud tourney at the first break. Yeah, yeah, 2/3 of the field was still left, but this was huuyouge (tm Francesa).
After the break, it was brick city and I just limped along for quite a while. Eventually I hang on and make the money. Then just after cashing, I revert into full donk mode for this hand:

This is what it's like to be the suck-out-er
I'm far more familiar with being the suck-out-ee.
Sadly, I finished 3rd in the SNG. A few hands later, I woke up with KJ and the flop came K 3 3. Sure enough, luckbox McGee had himself A 3 and that was that.

Yeah, before anyone kills me for getting involved with a K, check out everyone's door card. I took a shot, then caught a card, then it checked on through.

Rags to Riches
The absolute, hands-down key hand in my first takedown of a $5 HORSE sng is shown below.
Full Tilt Poker Game #1691271398: $5 + $0.50 Sit & Go (12425197), Table 1 - 120/240 - Limit Omaha Hi/Lo - 22:07:18 ET - 2007/01/28
Seat 1: Jewbilly (750)
Seat 2: joe_sossisses (1,815)
Seat 3: djm182 (765) (Don't ask. It's been brutal in oh so many ways.)
Seat 5: haruki (3,300)
Seat 6: lmhockey55 (495)
Seat 7: Cianne (2,015)
Seat 8: fish_N_chips6 (2,860)
Cianne posts the small blind of 60
fish_N_chips6 posts the big blind of 120
The button is in seat #6
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to djm182 [As 3h Qc Ah] (Well, this is it...have to go for this hand. A suited Ace, a pair of aces too.)
Jewbilly folds
joe_sossisses calls 120
djm182 raises to 240
haruki folds
lmhockey55 folds
Cianne folds
fish_N_chips6 calls 120
joe_sossisses calls 120
Three to the flop
*** FLOP *** [8c 8d Js]
fish_N_chips6 checks
joe_sossisses bets 120
djm182 raises to 240 (I'm figuring I'm dead here but maybe I can scare people away - the only way I'm expecting to win this is through betting/raising)
fish_N_chips6 calls 240
joe_sossisses calls 120
Yep, I'm dead.
*** TURN *** [8c 8d Js] [9d]
fish_N_chips6 checks
joe_sossisses checks
djm182 checks (Here I'm thinking that maybe I can save enough to take one more stab at a pot. The BB won't hit me for another three hands and I've got two big bets left. Maybe I can hold on and get something.)
*** RIVER *** [8c 8d Js 9d] [5s]
fish_N_chips6 checks
joe_sossisses bets 240
djm182 has 15 seconds left to act
Here, I waffle about what to do and figure out that there's almost 2k in the pot and it's 240 for me to call or 285 to go all-in. Since the turn was just checked, maybe my AA will hold up.
djm182 raises to 285, and is all in (BTW I took about 14 of my 15 seconds to do this.)
fish_N_chips6 folds
joe_sossisses calls 45
*** SHOW DOWN ***
djm182 shows [As 3h Qc Ah] (two pair, Aces and Eights)
joe_sossisses mucks
djm182 wins the pot (2,070) with two pair, Aces and Eights
No low hand qualified
WOO FREAKIN HOO!!! From here I went on to take it down.

AIPSII.1 Donk Off
This is how I donked off my stack in AIPS II Event 1. First some background - I'm playing far looser than I'd like, but I've been getting enough limping/raising hands to justify sticking around for some of these.
My opponent here, Fraser_Park_Boy, has been loose aggressive and has shown some incredibly lame bluffs.
Full Tilt Poker Game #1680797953: AIPS II Event #1 (10828819), Table 2 - 40/80 - No Limit Hold'em - 12:46:46 ET - 2007/01/27
Seat 1: HotMonkeyLove (915)
Seat 2: C furbee (1,590)

Seat 6: ElSnarfGrande (1,275)
Seat 7: Boil Dunce Son (2,675)
Seat 8: Fraser_Park_Boy (1,320)

*** FLOP *** [5d Kh 5h] Top pair, but I need to sniff out if the 5 is out there
C furbee checks
djm182 bets 160
Fraser_Park_Boy calls 160 He's calling everything so this doesn't tell me much
HotMonkeyLove folds
C furbee folds
*** TURN *** [5d Kh 5h] [6c]
djm182 bets 320
Fraser_Park_Boy calls 320 hmmmmmm...i'm concerned.
*** RIVER *** [5d Kh 5h 6c] [Th] OK, top two pair, I'm essentially committed here and I kind of like this. He could have AK, Kx very easily
djm182 bets 445, and is all in
Fraser_Park_Boy: dont worry im not on the flush
Fraser_Park_Boy calls 445
*** SHOW DOWN ***
djm182 shows [Kc Ts] (two pair, Kings and Tens)
Fraser_Park_Boy shows [Kd Ks] (a full house, Kings full of Fives) Yep, luckbox wakes up w/ KK and flops a boat. I'm through. Of course, I should have been concerned w/ the smooth calls. But it was too easy to see a double up opportunity here. Nobody took this guy to the river, but I didn't need to be the first either.
Fraser_Park_Boy wins the pot (2,170) with a full house, Kings full of Fives
djm182 stands up
