Totally forgotten about this..

The fools are in Macau for some tournament action! LOL!

Bangkok Baby

I'm onboard a flight to Bangkok right now with YW as I type this post. It was sort of a last minute decision made last week,and since it was a long weekend with friday being Labour Day, we decided to make a short trip over to the Land of Smiles. I've been wanting to do a trip with YW for quite some time now but there always seem to be differences in our individual schedules. The prices at which we purchased the airline ticket were considered a little steep but whatever. Ryu did promise me a fun friday night so he'd better keep his words and I'd also be able to hang out with the rest of the Team Player gang in Bangkok. Lastly not to forget my favourite
finnish fish, Mr Panu Rantaala(hope I didn't get spelling wrong).

What's different about this trip is that I would try to not be playing any poker at all and just have a purely touristy experience with YW. I've been eagerly anticipating for the past few days for friday to arrive, so I do hope we're gonna have a smashing time here. Also I would be looking forward to collecting my ping pong prop bet payment from Marcel who's the self-proclaimed best SNG player in Bangkok.

Pokerwise its been going decent, I'm getting back on track once again and I'm determine not to be screwing up this time round. Its been a lot more sideline work rather than playing volume for the month of April. Its also partly due to me taking up a more busy post in my military service. Its just close to a little more than one more year to go so I'll just try to hang in there. I think by the mid of May, my articles and videos would be up on SuitedAces so do look out for that. There's plentiful of promotions to come so do let me know if you are seeking any great deals for poker sites. Recently I've also taken to playing more NL cash games along with my PLO and putting my SNGs aside at least for the moment. One leak that I've plugged is that I stop treating my cash game stack like a tourney stack. This made me realise what a total cash game fish I was in the past and probably still am one at the moment.

Another thing which irks me a lot is the fact that recently many Singaporean guys in the poker scene have not made good their words on whatever deal or agreement they have or had made with me. There is not going to be any name pointing around here but I believe if a person can do it once to me then why can't he do it again to me in the near future. So if you are one of those guys, I think you should just burn in hell and I would definitely have you on my black list unless proven innocent somehow. I think integrity and making good one's words is a pretty important to a poker player's reputation and given the small circle here in Singapore, it does not pay to have a bad reputation amongst your countrymen.

Ok, my laptop's almost out of battery. Hope everyone would have a nice long weekend ahead and good luck at the tables too if you guys are gonna be playing.

insoumnia

I'm just hooked on this song.


Well, as stated on my blog, I was clearly ultra tilted being 3 outtered twice in like 10min for my stack. Was just sick. As for the 5/5 game, I must say I really enjoyed it, mainly because the 3 hands i played for the 6hr span held up lol. Aces winning the biggest pot of my life most probably, hitting a set, got my inducer bet out, and held up against what i think was a flush draw.

Alright, some of you might have been seeing me more often recently since I've been going to some games. But I doubt any of you know its actually me :P Oh jason, I met your dear friend Robin, the one you met on LongJie. Lol. He's funny. :P

Alright, go visit the new rakeback site Jason has running, pretty sick, sick deals he's offering. Till next time we actually do something since Jason is always locked up. Take care.

Poker Game Outing

So yeah so after a long hiatus from our adventures, we had a pretty fun trip to a 5/5 blinds home game. Obviously being the luckboxes, we both made a bit of money although I swear that Munchu stole all of my luck for that night. I think my live cash game sucks so much I need to play more often to keep up with all these live players. Basically, I undertook the strategy of shutting off from mingling with the table by keeping my hoodie on much to the irk of Eddie who couldn't get a read on me all night. Well at least that was what he told me. And also the fools got to witness first hand for the first time in our short live poker career, a $400 river call with Ace High by none other than our dear "sick call" Eddie, which turned out to be the winning hand. Words simply cannot describe the sickness of that call. Hopefully there's gonna be more entries to come since Munchu's so free nowadays that he can afford to smash his keyboards for fun.

Re-opened

Just thought of re-opening this blog, where we will posting the stuff we do together in future.
So yeah, till next time. :)

People who go back on their word

Hello people.

Just here to update you on someone whom I thought was a nice person who kept his word.
But guess not. His name is Bud Lim. He's a triathlete and was from my former school RJ and RI.
We agreed to split our action during one of the games in past, and when he won and i lost, he didn't want to split the action going back on his word. In the end, I compromised, and he agreed to only cover my losses. But now he's even blocked me on MSN and not reply my sms-es at all in an attempt to not return me that sum of money. I'm utterly disappointed someone would throw away a friendship for just a couple of bucks.

So for those of you out there, watch out for this shady character, he could be selling you out next time for a small sum.

A day to be remembered..

We decided to do more tourneys which consisted of 2 more $24+2 45man, and a HU tourney.. It was hilarious.. I got knocked out early due to a donk re-shoving me with ATo when i raised with TT and he hit his A.. My MTTs also got beaten up pretty badly with sick beats.. But Jason managed to take down the HU.. He just slept till the next match-up, and got it over and done with within 10mins for the first few stages, but for the semis and finals, all it took was the first hand! Said he was meditating while he slept in between the matches LOL. Heres a rough recap of the hands..

Semis
Hole cards J4o
Jason raised to 90, Villain reraises to 270. After I reminded him that this guy was rather tight, Jason opts to calls.
Flop Jctc9d
Jason bets 180, Villain calls.
Turn 4c
Jason bets 540, Villain reraises all-in. Jason calls.
Villain shows KcKd.
River was a blank and thats that.

Finals

Hole Cards Js2s
Jason raises to 90, Villain called.

Flop 4s4c7s.

Jason bets 180, guy goes all-in.
Jason, "Eh, lets end this here." "One over card and a flush draw? Your call man I'm fine."
So Jason makes the call.
Villain shows 6s3s.
LOL we both started laughing.

Turn Qc
River Jd.

SHIP IT.

Army Life

To Jason: Get used to it and stop whining about army and I'll stop whining about my beats!

Sigh.
Lady luck is treating me so unkindly.
I can't take it anymore.
Once I'm well, I'm going to play live and scream at anyone who sucks out on me.
Cause they cant feel my anger online.
DIE YOU RIVER RATS!

This is interesting don't you think?

The duo are back

Well, the Sng god is back from Thailand and shared his experiences with me. Been a while since we last met up, went for a game at Andy's place, was rather interesting as we playing 7 handed, as we usually go to a full ring game. The host, Andy, was very gracious, providing loads of drinks on the house and not asking for any contributions at all. It's a very cosy setting, a table that can comfortably sit 7-8 people, has a green blanket which is really like felt, shall ask him where he bought it. Thought there's no aircon, there's 3 fans blowing at us so no problem there.

So we played 1/2 blinds for the night, played about 4hours only, but boy was there action. Andy's friend came slightly later, so we started off 6 handed, loads of preflop stealing, with Jason being a total irritant always stealing my blinds as he sat to my left. Let me go through one of the major pots i played.

I was UTG, i limped in, Jason folded, Danny folded, Aggro raised to 10, Andy called, SB, BB and I called.
I had TcTd.
Flop, 368, all hearts.
SB check
BB check
I check
Aggro check
Andy bets 75
SB and BB folds
Bao Ying folds out of turn while i was thinking.
I had about 335 left in front of me, Andy had about 370
Well, with a bet of 75, i was certain he didn't have a flush, so i pushed it all-in.
I was right, he showed 36, and thought about it for like 15mins before decidng to fold.
That 15mins seemed like the whole night to me man LOL.

Last hand of the night,
I was in the on the button, called Aggro's raise to 12 and was heads up.
I had JQo
Flop 3dTdks
Aggro bets 50
I call

Turn Jh
Aggro bets 100
I call

River Th
Aggro goes all-in for 160
I fold

Felt he was on a flush draw, but that all-in at the end kinda gave it away or i would've called. He repeated all-in 3 times (LOL) think he thought i didn't hear him or something but he was really confident so i figured he at least had a T at the end. After the game he revealed that he had a full house, T3. Well, at least Jason and I ended the night in the green. Of course Jason went on to nag that its so -EV to play live for him and felt that it was rather boring. Who can blame him right?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Andy invited us to go back for another session, as expected Jason felt that it was -EV for him to only play one table at a time let alone to see this whole cards once every 10mins and stayed home to grind. So i went alone with CW and Daniel, my dear neighborhood mates whom I have met recently and have built quite a nice friendship with.

It was 6 handed, same guys -Jason, same blinds.
Let me share some memorable hands.

Hole cards AcKd

I was UTG, raised to 8
Daniel folds
Bao Ying calls
Dealer, Danny calls
SB, Andy folds
BB, CW raises to 32
I call
Bao Ying and Danny folds

Flop 9hJh4c
CW bets 50
I gave it a nice thought.
He had only 110 left.
But i was pretty sure he was holding the way hand or was drawing for a flush.
But i felt he was rather committed and might have called if he was on a draw.
Being the donkey I am, I gathered up the couraged and went all-in for about 160 more.
CW folded.
Whew :)



Another memoriable hand
I limped UTG with JdJh.
Bao Ying raised to 12
Andy calls
I raised to 42
Bao Ying moves all-in for about another 120 more.
Andy thinks for a while with his 33 and folds.
I only had about 90 left and called.

Bao Ying shows 9d9c
Flop was TcQc7s
Turn Jc (Boy was i sweating as the table counted his outs)
River 6s
Whew~



And let me end offf this post with this hand.
I was UTG, raised to 8 with 2c3c
Bao ying raises to 28
folded to me and I called.

Flop 4d5dKs
I bet 40
Bao Ying raises to 90
I move all-in
Bao Ying calls for another 107
Pot was 453 in total.
He asked if I wanted to make a deal
So we turned over our hands
He showed QhKc
I flipped over my 2c3c
I let he let him decide how many times he wanted to run it and so we ran it twice.

Turn number 1, As
River number 1, 9c
:)

Turn number 2, 8d
River number 2, Ac
SHIP IT~
:D

Bringing Degeneracy to Thailand

Alright I would be in Thailand for the month of April, rooming with other online players, do keep a lookout at my blog for more updates.

Cash Game @ Jon's

So its my first live game after over 3 weeks and as usual i arrive late at the game, with only 2 hours of play left, which i wasted another hour catching up with some old schoolmates who were there catching a soccer match. Table was rather fun, alot of talking and mostly limped pots. Well, I'm not making fun or anything about my opponent, but this was really the main highlight of the night..

I was dealt AJ on the button, raised it to $8 got one caller.
Flop comes A58, he checks, I bet out for $15, he calls.
Turn comes T, he checks again, I bet $20, he calls.
River's another A, he checks once again, I took a long time before going all-in for anoher $50~ and he calls almost instantly.
He turns over A4 to my delight, but as i was about to collect the chips...
"Isn't it a split pot? You mean the kicker counts?! OMG, i didn't know the kicker plays! Oh man, I really didn't know... Oh man, I'm so sad..."

Well, i felt really bad, honestly! I mean if he really didnt know that the kicker does play then i would be like cheating him right...? Well, but someone made this comment, "Well, you pay to learn the game." And that made me feel much better taking the reamaining chips left in front of him. :)

Another highlight of the game was me wearing this visor, which i could adjust it into a position that could cover my entire face. I looked like a weird power ranger, I'll try to get a picture of myself some time soon. Ok till next time people, have fun and good luck at the tables!

Fools @ Work

So after some supper, consisiting of a pizza, pasta, beer and oddly coffee as well, we decided to hail a cab and get back to the tables. So here's how it looked like at our workstation.

So we're grinding on ft, i'm on the laptop doing 6 tables while Jason's on the desktop doing 12 tables. EPT Copenhagen was going on live, and boy it was horrible, heads up action between Timothy Vance and Soren Jensen, it was worse then having your nails pulled out.
Yeah, it was that horrible. Well, anyone have a good keyboard to recommend? We're gonna hope the EPT ends soon. OMG man. Even the commentators wanna kill themselves its such a torture.

Abstaining from Tourneys For Feburary

The title tells it all, screw the donkaments. I'm not touching another one until the end of the month( with the exception of tonite's Event #10 super satellite, which I've qualified for a long time ago). Anyone who sees me playing in a tourney for the rest of this month can sms or msg on MSN messenger and I'll ship you $25. Now to find some comfort from my beloved SNGs

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year to all!

Well, i've just returned from a family trip and got the chance to finally go on a official 'holiday' after about 8years.. Really havent been travelling much and i do regret walking into the casino to only empty my wallet. Sigh. Oh and i met a fellow poker player as well at the caribbean stud table, wasnt sure if it was him till i saw him shuffling his chips. Lol. I asked him what he was doing there since I knew he was making good money playing poker, and he pointed to the sign that showed someone winning 118k from the royal flush jackpot, and smiled gleefully at me saying, "Im responsible for making the jackpot only 26k now." Dammit, he's so sick. Imagine, in your early twenties, having 188k on hand, im quite sure it'll change your life. Well, so the moral of the story boys and girls, do NOT play caribbean stud or any other game in the casino for fun or you'll end up like me, BROKE.

Alright, so from the both of us, take care and all the best in this new year!

Mr M is on Hiatus

Mr M has taken a break with his family for CNY and decided to try his hand at beating the casino at Caribbean Stud on board the Star Virgo. Good luck at the felts to all of you reading and Happy Chinese New Year
