i was so sad with the news at the beginning of the month about banning online gambling but then i kept finding fish in bigger games.  apparently two of the fish from the stars 25/50NL game have gone broke though and they were the reasons i was taking a shot.  i think im going to continue to splash around there when games are good though.



]]> http://blog.flopturnriver.com/post/gabe/850/october-is-pretty-cool if you are really bored you should look at the first couple pages from this blog.  i just got a good laugh from rereading it all.

lately ive been playing 5/10 10/20 and some 25/50, mostly on pokerstars.  im up almost 50k this month which is pretty cool considering i just broke 100k overall last month.

]]> http://blog.flopturnriver.com/post/gabe/846/another-hand opponent is a good nit.  im on a few of his tables and he should think im tight/straight forward.  because of this, i tried to make my hand look something like 8d8 or 7d7, that way he would value bet the whole time.  if i played it fast like i would against most people, i think he folds the flop with big overpair.

]]> http://blog.flopturnriver.com/post/gabe/805/MONEYMAKING in june, boostnslide, lukie, ultimategeorge, trikflow and I all met at the winstar casino in oklahoma to play poker.  we had never met eachother before except for ftr.  i wrote this trip report for some other people on FTR but decided there was nothing wrong with posting it here.

day 1: thursday
george, boost, lukie and i finally all met up at dallas fort worth airport. nothing exciting happens.

we get to the winstar casino after checking into out place. i get on the 5/10 nl waitlist and within 3 hours i lost a $2300 pot. there were a 3-4 limpers, i limp with 56, 855 flop, 6 turn, i lose to 88. bad start and probably the reason im not focusing this on all the poker hands i played.

after i lose i round up everyone because im not feeling like eating by myself. george, boost and i go to appelbee's because lukie sucks. afterward we search for booze and then return.

after we arrive but before we play poker, i sit at a blackjack table with $60. i get 66, but dont split. the dealer gets pissed and tell me its bad etiquette to not play optimal strategy. i said i didnt care and to hit me, and the hands becomes a push. i put all $60 on the necthand, hit blackjack and leave. george convinces me that i need to report that asshole dealer and i do.

i sit at 1/2 nl with lukie. within the first 45 minutes, i stack him. ha!. utg raises to 7, two callers including lukie on button, i make it 30 on the BB with jacks, the raiser calls and so does lukie. T97 flop, i bet $75, lukie pushes for about $80 more, his 88 doesn't catch up. my stack was getting big here, and one of the other guys with abuot $350 said he wanted to play hand with me because he could win alot of money. this ends up happening. i get AA, flop top set, and when i bet $70 on the turn he check/minraises me with his bare flush draw, i push for $100 more and he calls. i hold up ..]]> http://blog.flopturnriver.com/post/gabe/785/old-trip-report FOLD DAMMIT
