Put a donk in it Waffles! Courtesy of Katie Henderson, cause she’s DA BOMB!

I had been playing the entire BBT4 series until after my second place attack on the Mookie, it hit me.

I’m playing frustrated because I couldn’t be patient and sick of getting sucked out worse than Wawfuls on a fat chick.

Then I started to look at the chat afterwords to see comments like…

“well I shoved that 8 4 o because I felt that I had two live cards”

“don’t blame me that A3 os cracked your AA. I play smart”

And it hit me. Take a month off from poker. Take a massive time away, work on the house.

But as I watched friend after friend get hit in the Mini F-Tops and Ftops it hit me. Poker is a machocistic game.

So I chose to relax and let other people do the playing for me.

So far I’m up in my backing experiment a single black chip. But I could have lost my initial fundage, but my first horse came back with a fury to bring us back to the beginning and we parted ways.

It’s easier, not worrying about the bad beats, because they always come.

I think I’m putting up an ongoing collection of “Bad Beat quotes”.

If you get bad beat and someone says some fonkey thing, let me know in the comments. I’ll be glad to add it to my “Comment from the Donkey” section

Thanks to all for your support and I’m back.

BTW I played in a live tourney a week ago and took it down. Boooooommm!!

Can I win a FT race PLEASEEEE?

Did 5th, added some TLB Leaderboard points, but I’m not playing to the points, I’m trying to win dammit!

I still think and believe in my team, but for the 1st Quarter you were superior and you win the first QUARTER of the bet.  $12.50 will be on the way to you as soon as I get it from Wawfuls who still has to pay me the $100 he owes me .

Thanks for a great and exciting first 3 months of the year.

As for the rest of the year, hopefully my team shows up sometime.  And I’d like to make my subsitutes now.  And have team captains money count.

We agreed on subsitutes would be allowed.  So let me add them now.  Hmmm

Stop being mad at Full Tilt about connection problems and just realize that your ISP is conspiring against you because of your huge lead in the Mookie with your all ringer team.

So let me make my subs and lets move on with the second quarter.

Because this is an organized retreat so I can win the higher ground.

What do you say Schaubs?

Yup, once again HeffMike with 10 outs twice catches his miracle river to take me from the Mookie. No Hand Histories, I’ve made some aggressive moves to try and not be as meek as I used to but KQ? Really Mike?

CALLS! Come on Mike. CALLS!!

Fine.

I’ve had my bad running, but its ending soon.

I hope… for my monitors sake.

What happens when you’ve lost your will to play poker. You crack off the most brutal beat ever. And enjoy it. Then take another, and another…

Going to try and play in the Brit Bloggerment as soon as I get back from Church and Lunch. HA

No, I’m not talking about the Julius Goat’s Bad Bankroll Management Game

I’m talking about us micro limit players who make bad calls.  It’s my bb at a table where I have sat down with $1.75 and I have watched about 5 hands. .

Hero (BB): $1.75

Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero is BB with 2 J

I checked a hand that normally I would fold but, since it doesn’t cost me anything and noone wants to protect their hand. OK, I’ll play

1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.05, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.05, 1 fold, BTN calls $0.05, SB calls $0.03, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.25) 2 2 4 (5 players)

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM

SB bets $0.05, Hero calls $0.05, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls $0.05, BTN folds

Now some people say play back at him. I’m happy to see another card till it turns ugly.

Turn: ($0.40) Q (3 players)

Now that’s ugly.  I need to know where I am because if he plays back at me I could be in trouble.

SB bets $0.05, Hero raises to $0.55, MP2 folds, SB calls $0.50

Call? Hmmm Either he’s on a draw or he has a pair.  Time to make a move.

River: ($1.50) T (2 players)

SB bets $0.60, Hero raises to $1.10 all in, SB calls $0.50

Not even a 1/2 pot bet. That’s weak. I smell BACON! MOOLAH! Dinero!

Final Pot: $3.70

SB mucks A T

Hero shows 2 J (three of a kind, Twos)

Hero wins $3.46

A great game by Bonedaddy and I salute him for his win.

I’ll examine HH’s later.

But to OOSSUUU754 thanks for the words of encouragement and your mentoring lately.  Thanks to Riggstad for your support.

Thanks to Mookie , and the rest of the BBT4 crew for putting on a great tourney.

I’ll win again…

You can count on it!
