Reflection of what has happen and what is to come

Wow........Ok so my poker career seems to be taking offf......Im consistently being more consistent and thats the key to winning poker.....I really think there are several leaks that i have fixed in my game and in my personal life to make myself a better player. 1st was my health, I was extremely overweight and I have lost 70 pounds and feel like a champ. This has made me feel better when I have been playing. Another thing is my personal life is much better, I am not upset or tilty therefore I am able to be more focused on the tables. I had a very bad streak of tilt in me, It still exist but its far lesss severe as I have a good amount of money in the bank and losing money bothers me less.

I have had a pretty sick three month stretch but I think these will be my normal months to come.

I am sick, Nobody can put in the amount of time, and amount of games simentously that I can. Ive read other Pro bloggers that claim they put they put sick volume but I laugh because I put 2x thier supposed sick volume. I am simply a machine.

Yes Im confident and I can be arrogant at the table but its my part of my alias rounder63. I act like a complete jerk and asshole because i want everyone coming after me. I get some of the most retarded call but its all a part of my game. I play like a beast no fear, Im not like the other profitable players on fulltilt. They are scared to put a chip in the pot. Im not scared to lose, Im not scared to donk and thats what makes me dangerous.

I am the so called luckiest player on the face of the planet. That I run like extreme God and Im only good because i run like a champ. Ok so 34,000 tournaments online and I only feast because Im a luckbox. Thats makes alot of mathmatically sense. But its all good rounder63 knows the truth.

We had our little 45 person challenge last month and I ended up 4th, If we did the same challenge this month nobody could hold my jockeystrap.

I am taking a chance in some LA Poker classic events. I played the first event had 18k before u could blink to only donk all my chips off and then get coolered. The 2nd event yesterday was 535 buy in first place prize was 70,000. There where 480 entertants, Again i start off like gangbusters like i do every tournament. I had 20k before u could blink was top 5 in chips in the whole tournament then got switched tables and thats when everything changed. The table was much different and the donks where loose and aggressive and it made hard to play my game. A Player in particlar kept bad beating me in every pot it was making me sick. I stayed focused and made it deep. Men the Master was at my table and I didnt have much respect for his game until i saw him play. He knows what he was doing. He was floating, He was re-raising light, He was bluffing his ass off and I knew everytime he was doing so and just laughing inside. One particlar hand I laughed my ass off because he called 80 percent of his chips on a 109510A BOARD WITH 97 and i coudlnt stop laughing... I asked him hey that was a gangtar call...he replys......NO that was CORONA CALLLLLLLLLLL.. and he shows me his beer it was so freaking funnny.......Then worth the price of admission......we get down to 46 players and he is on my button. He raises again obviously on the button on bubble spot (top 45 get paid). Before I look at my hand he says to me and looks to me directly. "You go all in I guantee call you" I look down i see two jacks and say " Ok thats good Im all in" He instant calls and I show JJ and he is dejected and flips over 1010.......I held somehow and continued.....He then got knocked out an orbit later when his ak ran into qq and he didnt hit.

For me we get down to 3 tables, im shortstack. Girl open shoves 55 for 24 bb i have about 15 bb i look down i see AA and im excited because if i win this pot i have about 100k and im above chip avg with about 26 people to go for a great chance to make a run at 70k but OBVIOULSY she hits her 5 ball and im sent to the rail. I took the beat pretty good said nice hand and wasnt upset. Then I went to get paid and everything sunked in. That the tournament was over and I didnt have 15 other tables to go that i could worry about. So I got upset and really felt like going to pot limit omaha and just flying all in with whatever but i remained calm and went home and had a tilty night of sleep. LIVE POKER IS RIGGED.....

So i plan on playing 5 other events hopefully I ship something good.

Poker is not easy, Its not for the weak minded. Or is it for the people that control thier emotions Its also not easily done without constant support from your friends. We all forget really how the game works. Its the stupidest game on the face of the planet yet we play it every single day. Want to know why that is so?......Because Poker is exaclty like life. Some poker days are great. Some Poker days are terrible. We expect to win with AA almost to the point we think we are guarnteed to win with AA but we are quickly remind that AA doesnt guarntee you anything. Same goes with life, nothing is guarnteed, things u expect to happen dont always happen. Things happen that are not fair but we wake up everyday live our lifes and try our best.

Thats the beauty of life and the beauty of poker. If you play it right and Play your cards right, Long term there is no way you can lose and thats what keeps us coming back. The thought of not knowing what exaclty is going to happen, is sickly exciting. As Human beings we do not like easy things, we like to be challenged because if it was easy then it woudlnt be any fun.


Important of Support as a Poker player

I thank my support group of online poker players. Lappin always keeps me focused at the longterm picture and reminds me that when im down to go look at my sharkscope. Stinkybudz reminds me alot of myself, always complaining about the beats and always threatining to quit but just keeps going to war over and over and over again. Thats what you got to do, Keep getting knocked down but keep getting back up with ur sword and shield and ready for war. It helps to get support from people from the rail and My number one fan is feistyangel2. Just simple comments alone of support can help me refocus on a tournament and come back and feast and im very thankful for that.

When I completely lose my mind, i turn to my good friend Dave Castle, without him Im not sure if the glue would of stayed together.

Bottom line is Poker is not easy and You most definetaly need a support group without one you can find yourself lonely and lost.
