Sitting in AC Taj Chairman room with Rachel & Charlotte asleep on floor & Amylouwho nestled downstairs in a $2-$5 NL game, I fired up FullTilt to see a shiny new silver jersey MiniFTOPs champ avatar.
Inspired to break out my very best Professional Poker Pro A-game, I sparked up my 2nd career $11 Turbo Rush 135-man DonkNGos = fast & fun, top 15 pay, 1st = $423
starting stack = 2k
after an eternity of 70 hands over 12 long ,minutes, we had finally eliminated 1/2 the field and only 70 were left of 135 when Villain gets tricksy on puck (strong play since he could sense we were closing in on push or fold with blinds up to 30-60 and his M was at a meager 23)
(Spoiler Executive Summary for those of you who can't open hand history links at bottom)
lesson 1: limp on the button; adapt your reads
Villain makes a strong limp with J7 (sooted!) adeptly changes flop read of "he has flush draw" to turn read of "my sweet 7 kicker's gotta be good here"
http://www.pokerhand.org/?5380374
wp sir
lesson 2: take advantage when you can mark Villains with a big pair
lol @ Villain's post-flop play here
http://www.pokerhand.org/?5380386
lesson 3: extracting Max value on a mediocre flop & turn
watch and learn from the Pro, boys, watch and learn...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?5380417
lesson 4: play strong hands strongly
Villain and Hero both playing way above the rim at Levels 8 & 9 thinking here
http://www.pokerhand.org/?5380440
Really no other line either player can take here, esp. with Rush-style metagame of "I've played 2 hands vs this guy, I think"
lesson 5: intentional timeouts
you can't see this in HH, but in this hand Hero timed out preflop & on flop with Ace-rag on purpose by typing an email, hoping to get 4th pair or worse to bet flop and pay off river
http://www.pokerhand.org/?5380446
expert planning -> expert execution
lesson 6: let them steal your limps, blinds, and re-steal your weak steals over & over Hellmuth-style
this will move you from an akward position of Top 5 in chips to a more comfy 16th/21
more importantly, it will whittle your stack down to a level where you only have to play 1, or at most, 2 streets of poker
anyone can do poker things like hand-reading, evaluating hand ranges, etc., shovey-or-foldy is where the Pros make their hay
lesson 7: never, ever commit your whole stack when you're ahead if you can avoid it
http://www.pokerhand.org/?5380473
Never forget the simple logic that when you stuff it in good, your hand can't improve, but theirs can. Rookie mistake not worthy of the silver MiniFTOPS jersey -> justice being served for a finish in 21st.
Spoiler Executive Summary for those of you who can't open hand history links:
I played like a donkey, but RushNGayers pretty soft field

If you go low enough, poker's fun all the time
RunGood hand of the Week (Jay shills as Baltika):
You need to quit your job so you can click links like this one without The Man telling you not to
Some evidence that you just have to go down low enough in stakes for poker to stillbe uber-soft:
1)Cakeament
I registered for Monday Cake gold card PLO satellite to win a low stakes free seat. Donkament started at 1:30, so naturally I remembered to log in around 2:45. Looks like there were 1,015 entrants playing for 300 free seats.
Finally take my seat, and shocker, tournament is stalled. Ah the broken Cake software. Nope. We're playing hand for hand. I have 225 of my starting stack of 1,500. 30 seconds later ship the seat. 715 people busted out before me. Impressive.
To summarize: Players in Cake donkament worse than dead person / empty chair
2) Put Minbet Villains on a hand
Fun, relaxing session of $2-$4 minbet @ Mohegan with Mark & his dad. This is not high stress poker, running nicely and I happen to be up a hundo-ish
OK, so I raise UTG with AQ, MP caller (whose only feature that has penetrated my brain in the first 2 hours of my pleasantly comatose play at this table is the queer leather hat he's got on) calls as does SB.
[Sidebar: If you're asking / wondering how table is playing, what my table image is, or you're having some other fancypants pokery analytical thought, stop reading and slap yourself in the head. This is minbet. $2-$4 minbet.]
Flop: A Q J rainbow
Tightish (Not that anyone notices this) semi-solid (as solid as $2-$4 gets) player fires, I raise, LeatherHat snappo-calls, SB 3-bets, I insta-cappo, LeatherHats chips are in the middle before mine stop wiggling.
Turn offsuit 9, I check, Hat fires, SB check-raises, feeling a little dirty I muck, Hat calls.
River 4, SB fires Hat calls.
SB shows... QJ (of course, how the hell did you miss that people?), I prepare to gouge my own eyes out for my stupidity, but thankfully LeatherHat shows the pretty 99. Tasty. I felt a little like you do after you almost get talked into buying an extended warranty that costs 50%+ of what the original item was, but wake up & come to your senses just in time.
I have to say I'm enjoying comically low stakes low stress low skill low variance poker right now. I may take it uptown and play some $50-max buyin Rushaments later.

Rushaments
"If Hyper-Turbos are the crack of online poker & live NL cash = paint dry, then FullTilt's Rushpoker is mainlining pure essence o' Redbull with a Wagner paint gun."
- Not-so-Anonymous Live Donkey Rationalizationaments, Jan 2010
PLO CrystalMeth edition just arrived on FTP, so far just $0.10-$0.25.
Looks like Stars won't be offering anything like this soon, I hope they change their minds about this. Might have made the Elite run closer to doable.
So if anyone is wondering why I typically look like someone ready to poke out his own eyeballs when I play live, maybe stats from my online sesh today will help:
- 4 tables of TAG Rush PLO play for just over an hour (VPIP = 20%)
- 1,002 hands, raised pre-flop a moderate 113 times
- Not a lot of play / action / decisions, only got to see 182 flops in the hour
- Ran below expectation and only got AAxx 22 times.
So yeah, I ran 10-15% below expectation for an hour, got Aces 22 times (which are kinda fun to play), and went to showdown 40 times.
Not that it would take much longer playing live NL, you can expect to see Aces 22 times almost every time you put in a modest 7 1/2-day straight session without sleep! So there's that.
Another fun way to look at the Live NL Play ThrillOMeter: if I play CrackamentRushPLO for 10 hours today, I'll see an average of 250 hands with Aces. If you play live holdem 40 hours/week for a year, you have nearly a coin flip shot at seeing that many AA preflop by the end of 2010, so that's pretty exciting too. Wheeeee!!!!!
Executive Summary:
I might like Rush poker more than live cash games.

Warning: Whiny Content
Just trying to break even & run up VPPs to get this freaking Stars $2k bonus -> Nam-style flashbacks of my ill-fated SNE Run. Seriously, WTF?
No more tourneys, no more poker-related email, no 2+2, no Cake Gold Stack fun, no poker anything except PokerStars cash game VPP grind until I get this albatross of a 200k VPP bonus off my ass.
Oh, and SuperNova probably out for 2010. Why? Because fuck them and their 14-buyin below EV downticks in a week, that's why.

2009 in (way early) Review
This won't come as a surprise, but I haven't been updating the old blog anymore. More or less anything that requires regular effort uncomfortably stirs the embers of the jobament-phobia fires and therefore needs to just go away.
But I figured I could fire the occasional barrel here to update anyone who might care about my poker life. I was reviewing Mr. PokerLog and decided it was a good semi-random time for an annual recap. So here we go:
No surprise, but early 2009 not so good in the land of pokerz.
- As of April 5th
Stucko about $1k after oh 400-ish hours of self-induced misery we'll sum up as the EliteTardNova chase from hell. Once again, what was I thinking?
- August / Sept 2009
In an uber-rare positive poker experience, Pat & I have a great online satellite run & win a bunch of $200, $300, and $500 seats for Stars WCOOP online donkament series. He also goes on a crazy good Cake donkament run and is firing me chop $ shells almost nightly.
As of Sept 15th 9:30pm, we're now 8 1/2 months and close to 1,000 violent-head-rubbing, laptop-whacking, open palm-smacking hours into our poker year, and YTD win has reached the lofty number of an eye-popping $14k. Yee haw. We've reached an hourly earn rate that many of the non-management types at MickeyD's could envy.
To add to the good times, after putting it off for only, oh, 2 or 3 months, I had just gone to lunch with an old consulting colleague to discuss possible work. Now I happen to like the guy a lot (he's actually fun hang with in or out of work, we used to have work days in his office filled with marathon sessions of games on his Mac followed by up outings to Kimball farms driving range). But I probably don't need to tell you just how giddy with joy I was before, during, and after that jobament-related outing. Ah the wistful day-dreaming about all the good work times, the glamour of business travel, the delicious discipline of getting up by 8am regularly, the delightful ambience of overhead flourescent lighting, not to mention the sheer tactile pleasure of donning dress pants & shoes with a crisp, snappy collared shirt (extra starch please!). Oh the longing for a full-time+ gig grinding out extra profit for some mega-corporation it stirs up in me even now. But I digress...
- Sept 15th about 9:45 pm.
With the ever-growing doom-filled sense that poker may be only a marginally less painful Evil vs. the possible jobament looming ever larger in my future, I'm not even playing online. However, I am sweating Pat in his $530 WCOOP Stud Hi/Lo donkament before bed. (Yeah, I was about to go to bed. You know poker's bad when I'm going to bed before 10pm).
Splasher's arrrrrin with a ~6BB / 1,300 chip stack - he gets it in good & doubles up to 3k. Rinse & repeat 2 more arrrin's again over next orbit or two and nows he's pretty robusto. Well, we're swapping pieces and I love to sweat / cheerlead, so I decide to fire up a random tourney or two for something to do while I rail him.
So I spark up FullTilt and there's a minute or two left in late reg for some random $20+2 Turbo donkament... fire! Splasher gets involved in a big pot, so I get distracted (shocker) and watch it unfold. Naturally, this being Stud Hi/Lo, it takes roughly 19 minutes for all 13 streets worth of queer min-bet action to unfold to the dramatic conclusion where 2 people inevitably chop up a split pot for a monster 2% increase in their stacks.
By the time I notice the beeping and remember I had reg'd for a donkament, I look down to see that not only is this a Turbo, it's 6-max, I've been blinded out for over an orbit. Blinds = 50-100 (and about to go up, as they did every 5 minutes), my stack = 1,350 (vs avg of over 3k), oh and it turns out there 1000s of people left out of the 7,634 people who reg'd. Solid value for my 22 bucks, with me snuggled down in in the bottom 10% of the field. Well at least it'll likely be a quick painless Turbo death, as I notice I'm UTG with a medium Ace (AT or AJ I think), so shovey mcshove isacomin'.
Fast forward through ~1 hour of Luckbox running in Harp mode to what what may be the most delicious poker karma I ever get to deliver:
With my uber-healthy stack (from over-the-top aggro-lagtard play, even for 6-max standards), I have 55 UTG with ~4x avg stack and almost 2x the biggest stack at the table who is in BB. I open-shove, and as it has been over and over, it's robo-folded around to BB. He tanks. He chirps "sooo... how do you know I don't have a s s e s", requests time, "hmmmmmmm.....", lets his clock tick all the way down to 3, types "hahahahaha", then calls for his whole stack, which is ~60% of mine.
He shows AA. Flop JJ5. My flopped boat holds up, stack is robusto, and the combo of his rant & the table chat is sick good. It flip-flops between his misspelled-obscenity-ridden description of how bad amylouwho/FullTilt riggaments are and the table laughing at him while reveling in the oh-so-tasty slow-roller karma.
I took pleasure in forwarding this sample to support (NSFW). Good times.

amylouwho: say goodbye to your chat priveleges slowroller - this is getting reported to support
Feeling like the poker gods are smiling down on me, being handed a top 3 sized stack with hundreds left opened up doors to wander around and gleefully explore aggro-tard fantasy land. (I wish I had saved the stats, but my best guess is that I won a hand without showdown every 2 1/2 to 3 hands played, and my showdown luckbox win % was off the meter high)
Anyway, fast forward another 1 - 1 1/2 hours to
Hmmmmm, like the flop or turn much?
We chopped most of top 3 $s, with $2k left to play for, ship a short few hands to take it down for a final score $18.8k, followed by the most fun chop ship ever. There are few things more fun in poker than firing cash at friends for their choppo share after a solid score.
Plus ship the custom FTP jersey with "amylouwho" on it, just like da Fuhrer in this video..
Funny in a non-PC degen kinda way
I'll admit it, I have this bookmarked in case I have another run like the first 8 1/2 months of this year:
Confidence booster link
End of October:
Sparked by the miniFTOPs score, the last 6 weeks have been a great run.
Between Stars WCOOP cashes/chops, decent full ring PLO/PLO8/NLO8 cash results, Harp's insane online heater with large & frequent chop ship barrels, a nice Luckbox trip to the SuperNova freeroll final table for a $7,700 uptick, and the random railfanboys cheering me on to final tables in donkey stakes PLO8 donkaments, the poker $ roll & job satisfaction is high.
I'm not sure which is the best part:
1) I'm back to looking forward to playing almost every day
2) Ship 2010! Between the last few night's steady luckbox/aggro production of deep runs in the nightly Stars PLO8 donkaments & a decent run in Cake rebuy Thursday night, I officially went over the hump to my goal for 2009 total win $s. Looks like another year of no jobament- woot!.
F you, Frist. I win for another year.
So to all the poker crew, I wanted to officially thank you for the support this year. It looked & felt mighty grim, and the end of my pro poker donk career seemed nigh, and you guys have been just great. Having people to ease the poker pain helped me slog my way through to the other side. I likely would've thrown in the towel without you all to vent to, get ideas from, talk strategy, all of it. Thanks.

amylouwho: say goodbye to your chat priveleges slowroller - this is getting reported to support
Feeling like the poker gods are smiling down on me, being handed a top 3 sized stack with hundreds left opened up doors to wander around and gleefully explore aggro-tard fantasy land. (I wish I had saved the stats, but my best guess is that I won a hand without showdown every 2 1/2 to 3 hands played, and my showdown luckbox win % was off the meter high)
Anyway, fast forward another 1 - 1 1/2 hours to
Hmmmmm, like the flop or turn much?
We chopped most of top 3 $s, with $2k left to play for, ship a short few hands to take it down for a final score $18.8k, followed by the most fun chop ship ever. There are few things more fun in poker than firing cash at friends for their choppo share after a solid score.
Plus ship the custom FTP jersey with "amylouwho" on it, just like da Fuhrer in this video..
Funny in a non-PC degen kinda way
I'll admit it, I have this bookmarked in case I have another run like the first 8 1/2 months of this year:
Confidence booster link
End of October:
Sparked by the miniFTOPs score, the last 6 weeks have been a great run.
Between Stars WCOOP cashes/chops, decent full ring PLO/PLO8/NLO8 cash results, Harp's insane online heater with large & frequent chop ship barrels, a nice Luckbox trip to the SuperNova freeroll final table for a $7,700 uptick, and the random railfanboys cheering me on to final tables in donkey stakes PLO8 donkaments, the poker $ roll & job satisfaction is high.
I'm not sure which is the best part:
1) I'm back to looking forward to playing almost every day
2) Ship 2010! Between the last few night's steady luckbox/aggro production of deep runs in the nightly Stars PLO8 donkaments & a decent run in Cake rebuy Thursday night, I officially went over the hump to my goal for 2009 total win $s. Looks like another year of no jobament- woot!.
F you, Frist. I win for another year.
So to all the poker crew, I wanted to officially thank you for the support this year. It looked & felt mighty grim, and the end of my pro poker donk career seemed nigh, and you guys have been just great. Having people to ease the poker pain helped me slog my way through to the other side. I likely would've thrown in the towel without you all to vent to, get ideas from, talk strategy, all of it. Thanks.

tossing a bucket of water onto the donkament heater
Just in case i was starting to feel a little too good about myself or how i'm playing, luckily I played like an unreal donk the last 2 nights to come back to mediocre-to-lameass-playing earth.
- 3rd in chips out of 6 remaining in an uber-soft Cake satellite giving away 3 seats, decided to open-shove for 14BBs from the button with 43o. why, i cannot say, but I got what I deserved and busto.
- With a healthy above avg stack in Cake rebuy with 80/250 left, i check-raise shoved a button raiser on a QT4 board with 66 when I was pretty sure he had a decent hand Again, I don't know why, but justice was served and busto.
- I managed to get all my money in bad in PLO FTP donkament not 1 or 2x, but 3 by sucking out the 1st 2x before my suicide attempts finally worked.
Poker gods were obv punishing me for the latest series of brag posts, so I'll go nack to noticing how much I usually suck & maybe the upticks will resume.
Man was that fun to run like Harp in short-handed minbet for a week. I made more final tables over 7 days than I had all year.
Maybe online donkaments + live cash are the new staples, I dunno.
