If you have been extremely bored and/or extremely anal, you may have noticed a link for Lozo on my blog role. That link used to direct you to his blog. It was funny and did it's job of filling my days with interesting topics. For instance, he had post's dedicated to how to take a dump. Or how to masturbate. He even showed many pictures of the same thing. A miss spelled electronic sign on the New Jersey turnpike. It stayed that way for over a year.
Anyhoo. He still has a blog, but you have to get invited to read. How does one do that.
DAVE!!! DAVE!! Hey DAVE!!!! DAVE LOZO!!!!! Invite me please

Every Time
I do not know why I torture myself. I keep playing on Full effin Tilt. I am trading in my points and taking a stab at the steps. I ended badly for me today. Early position limper and small blind completes. I have AA in the big blind. raise it three times the blind, which is good for about 1/5 of my stack and the limper's stack. He instant smooth calls me and the small blind goes away. Flop is Q85 with two clubs. I bet 3/4 the pot. Limper min raises and I push in. He insta calls and has..................Q5 of hearts. Really? Limping with Q5 in early position with everybody left to act behind you. Fucking brilliant. Obviously I am playing this game wrong. That play makes all the money. UGGGGGHHHHHH Good Grief.
I can not win on Full Tilt. I do not get it. I play on Cake poker and do just fine. I play one tournament and cash about %40 of the time. Just do not know how to get my money man. Wheres my money man. Give me my money.
And it seems that everyone I know or read has the same experience on Full Tilt. Where is all the money fucking going? Huh? Where?
I blame Howard Lederer. He is lucky I am a sissy or I would kick his ass.
Maybe I will pick a fight with his sister.
Gotta go catch a plane
See Ya

The Boy
So last night was shower/bath night for the kids. The girl got the bath and the boy took the shower in my room. Now the boy is old enough to wash himself. So.. I set him up with a wash cloth and body wash. I told him to get all the important parts. His butt, bits and pieces and make sure he gets behind his testicles. And he says to me, "my whaticles". Bout lost it. Kids are hilarious.

Ok.
I thought for a few seconds and just decided to call the river bet. He had woken up hard when the ace of spades hit. I thought he had the better flush. In retrospect, if he had made the nuts he most likely checks or bets smaller there. But, when he did not slow down on the river, I figured he had it. Though for $50 more I just should have pushed it. I made my hand and should play it. If we were deep stacked, I think I play it the way I did though.
Any guess to what he had? It was not a set. I think the set check raises the flop. It was not two pair. It wasn't even a big ace. Nope he had J8os. He was representing the flush or ace on the turn with a gutty to the non nutty. That is why he kept betting, he made the 30th nuts or whatever it is.
He told me I should have raised and then says I would not have gotten any more money out of him. Maybe, I don't know. I guess I got all the money I was gonna get. Probably not though. I agree with the comments, he was committed.
Over all my play at the casinos needs help. I think it is the stakes. I can afford to lose it, I just do not usually play for a $200 buy in. I always see the monster hiding in the closet. If I had read this hand on another blog, I would have said ship it. I should have, intuitively and mathematically. I play this hand at may home game, .25/.50 game and I am all in all the time.
Thanks for the thoughts

Another hand Question
At Harrahs this time. 1/2 game.
I am in the Small blind with Q8 spades. Cut off limps. Button limps. I complete and the big blind checks. Flop comes Ts 7s 3h. The cut off bets out $10. The button folds, I call and the big blind instant calls. The turn brings the ace of spades. Cut off checks. Now I check because I want to see what the big blind is going to do. He immediately bets out $30 into the pot. The cut off folds and I call fast hopping to give off the draw feel. The river is the 9 of hearts. I check again and the big blind bets out $50. He has $50 behind and I have him covered. What do you do here?

Hand Question.
Let me take this time to say hello to my loyal reader. I am back
I went to the Ameristar Casino in KC recently with three buddies. Three of us got on the same table, it was a 1/2 table. Justin was short and bought in for $50. John and I had full stacks of $200.
John is by far the most aggressive of the three of us. We are playing for an hour or so and I have not dragged a pot. I am in the eight seat. Justin, in the five seat, is doing the only thing he can and waiting on a monster to double up. John had lost two buy ins with flopped top and bottom pair to top two pair. Top pair to rivered flush draw that was getting zero odds to call flop and turn pot sized bets. TT to AK on next hand all in when guy next to me thinks John is just steaming and pushes pre flop. King on the river. John is in the two seat.
Ok, the hand. I am in the big blind and look down at AKos. One limper to John who promptly raises it to $15. Like I said he is the most aggressive person at the table. I have seen him raise KQos. He bets his draws hard. Folds around to Justin who promptly puts his $60 all in. John make a sound like he can't believe it is happening again.
What do I do? I want to play this hand. John's range is any pair or KQ or better. I know Justin has a monster. AQs at the very worst. I do not like him for AA or KK due to my holding. I think for a while and decide that I either have to fold or push my $170. My thinking is John does not have AA or KK either, mostly because of his reaction to Justin's move all in, and I have to give him a chance to fold. If I just call, he could move all in and I have to fold. So I push. I figure it is good for Justin too. I protect his hand. John folds his QQ face up in disgust. Justin flips over QQ. Flop comes all non face cards but the board goes runner runner diamonds to give me the better flush with king high to Justin's queen.
The ride home was fun. John said I made a tournament move. He never explained it but I think he meant that I did not try to extract value from my hand. My thinking is that AK is not a made hand and plays better against one opponent than two. Justin said I had to know I was beat there. I told him that I knew he was strong but I discounted AA and KK. Anything else was basically a coin flip and he did not have enough money to get me out of the pot. I will flip AK for $60. If I double him up, good for him. Anyway, I saved John some money because his QQ was no good either. If I had just folded, he would have lost to Justin on the flush and been ever more steamed. John dropped $700 that day. He is running so bad. His bankroll was over $8000 a month ago and now it is down under $4000. I can only imagine the super monkey tilt he would have gone on if QQ went down to QQ. So in a way, I saved his bank roll.
Did I play it right? John and Justin do not think I did. You?
