So the story goes, Two weeks ago (on top of the 80k profit) I was playing real good and doing well, So I decided to take a chance in a $1,000 6 handed ftop event...
I was playing so well and doing soooooooo gooood.......TOP prize 275,000......there was 1200-1400 entrants.....
I was playing masterfully and getting deep with not having to show my cards......I had cashed was in the money but that's not why we play the game.......
Before I know it, we are down to about 25 people......and the dream of winning 275,000 dollars is now becoming a reality........Not only is it reality, I am 2/25 so I have a big stack!!!!!!!.........Chances of me going far was real good.....
Got a bit card dead and wasn't getting many spots, I was 4/16......with 10,800 in the bank so far but again this is the big score i was dreaming of and my thoughts would turn into deep thoughts at break......I would get almost teary eyed thinking of all the time and effort i put into this stupid game, Im finally got a huge chance to hit the big one, I felt the goosebumps, thought about the amount of money that I could win, Max could finally have his backyard that he can bury all his bones and do his little chicken wang piss over all the plants =) and have a girlfirend that he can hump everyday lol....
So then the letdown occured.........I raised a7 sooted from early position and it was folded to the guy in the big blind who was from brasil and I had played with him for about 5 hours and he didn't give a flyingggggggggggggg #$%#$ about losing his tournament he had guns blazing, Knife in pocket and was ready to come out swinging at all cost, it was folded to him and he immediately shoveddddddddddd allllll in........Now this is a spot that I would usuallly give a great thought into folding.........it was about half my stack and a7 is not that good of a hand but this guy is one crazy son of a #$%$ and Im one to not be scard to put the chips in the middle if i think im good. So i decided to call.......He flips over 44.....so we are flipping.........This is now officially the biggest coinflip of my life.....Come on dealer one time!!.......anyways he hit a set......while I hit two pair and he won the coinflip..........crushing but not the worst, I still have a decent stack and im now 9/16....its ok, i still got a great shot......anyways the blinds are going up and everyone is getting shorter and shorter compared to the blinds so things are going to get messy sooon........
Then the death hand occurred........its folded to the cutoff who open shoves about 20 big blinds and i had about 20 big blinds and I had pocket 8s.....Its postive situation to call in this spot, so i made the call and he had a9!!
So again this is now the most important coinflip I have played in my life.........He flops a pair and I dont hit an 8 and im out in 16th place.......all my dreams and hopes and max backyards are crushed......I could feel my throat tighten and choke up and i felt enormous pain in my heart......I had just played with the best in the world got very far almost closed it but two unlucky coinflips going the wrong way had me packing......
To give you an even deeper insight of how close i was.......The two guys that won the coinflips vs me got 2nd and 4th here (4th brazilian wild man) is the listining of prize money that everyone won listed in profit...

Do I need to Change my expectations with Poker or Still Chase the dream
Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh......Today I have to pretty much take ttoday off..as yesterday sent me to bed on fulllllllllllllllllllllllll tilt alert.....frustrating overwhelming and bottom line extremely upsetting.....Got deep in a bunch of stuff again and to only either donk or run like shit at the end for a lot of money was again a disaster.......
I feel like im at a crossroads of a proper mindset but I dont know, Im just a sick beleiver in myself with anything life that I completely confident in myself.
Past 4 years of being a Professional Poker Player have had its ups and downs but my expectation from day one was the only expectation that I had the whole entire time...And thats dominate all and be the best anything short of that is a failure.
I remember from the beggining even with failure I thought I would be the best.....From the tilty Trip to Colorado that started it offf..I had finally come to the conclusion that I coudlnt survive in poker and I coudlnt make it happen but knew I had to leave california and thrown out in the wild to survive otherwise my heart would never quit poker
With nothing working in Colorado and my Car completely dead, I had only one plan and that was give poker one last chance...I threw my last 200 on fulltilt...and the rest is history..I discovered how to be a profitable player and the Rounder63 show was created..
From that Point of time, I have roughly made 300k+....thats enormous amount of money but somehow through all the traveling, people having huge chunks of my profits and living and retarded Gangstar Laker tickets, retarded paigow pillar bets and the best of the best grocery shopping, I find myself still poooor...Allllllllllll My own doing but i dont know how to be or live any other way.
My friend Mike D said it best..."Nick is saving when he hits the big one...thats just how he saves"
I dont know its just in my genetics, Its how I saw how my dad lead his life, How my uncle led his life, You buy what you want, You do what you want and the consquences well thats later on....famous quote from my father..."How much was that dad"...Responce..."I dont know, I didnt ask"....
Can I ever get a real job??!!?.......Serioulsy the answer to that is probably yes, but I would have to move out of my surrounding and detox for like 2-3 months of no poker and then there would be a .0002 percent chance i wouldnt come back..
This is in my blood, This is what I was born to do,This is what i was bred to do and Im on a mission to make it work....but #$%$#%$ getting there is a #$%#% Bitch..
I love to struggle, Something almost mental inside of me likes to fail to only come back and have an epic comeback....When Ive been the lowest of the lows with poker, thats when I shine the most and have an epic feasttttt...In sports I like being the underdog because thats just how I was everytime but I always come out a Winner....I love getting beat the #$%$ up fall face first on the ground and have everyone doubt me and to come back and smassssssssshhhhhh..
My brand of poker is unique, Not many people can be disguise as a donk, play like a donk but be a SHARK......Give a shoutout to thebattler33 guy is a #$$$ing beast, I feel we play pretty simliar although his success is much greater but he is playing against the grain with how everyone else is playing poker and I think to be ahead of the curve thats how you have to play.
Theres a winning play but theres also many different ways to play poker.
Past 15 months Poker has humbled me......When fulltilt launched and I was crushing the 45s, I really truely blindly believed I was one of the best in the world, you can google Regs laughing at me and my confidence...You can google alot of funny conversations about rounder63, even one where i claimed i retire and suck, we see how that went.....Theres also some warcraft threads lol...
The Past 5 months, I feel I have completley changed my game around to complete at the highest levels now, I feel im at my all time best and if I could just run good at the end, I will start killing it..
Last Month I made 20,000 on fulltilt, obv could of been alot more....Yesterday was one of my top 3 most frustrating days, So many monster stacks in nice prize pool mtts deep just crash and gone to shit at the end...
68,000 games in my career......18,000 this year......that is some major major major major grinding.....I can say with complete confidence there is not one person in the entire world, that grinds my sngs and mtt more then ME....
Am I entilted to think I deserve A Big Score when I try so hard....I def think so!.....I know im not the best out there but just like in real life or sports those who are handicapped for whatever reason (not being good enough, strong enough fast enough, quick enough)if they try hard enough they reach thier goals and dreams.
I know I will one day but until then Its uber frustrating trying to reach the mountain of feast.....
Lets hope its sooon!

WSOP, Reflection, The Drive, Todays World of Poker
Ok so Wsop for me was a Complete Uttter Failure......Its pretty hard to accept losing and thats actually what I did........0/10 0 cashes and about 25,000 dollars worth of investments. Lots of money Lots of Headache and alot of quick finishes....I ran pretty bad, but also felt on a couple hands I was "outnewbed"...I called it outnewbed because in a sense I was outplayed but not because they where better then me but because I gave my opponent too much credit at that big of a buy in to play a hand that particular way without having me beat.
One hand in particular got under my skin was 6 max 1500 buy in. It was the first level of blinds and I had been pretty active.....So the guy on the cutoff raies 3x sb calls, I re-reaise 10bb with ak offsuit and the european dude laughs cracks a smile looks and his buddies and says well it looks like this is a quick tournament IM all innnnnn and shoves his 100+bb stack sb immedeiatly folds and Im staring AT AK and figure the way he played it most definetly was 1010 JJ QQ AK and maybe KK and there was no way it was a postive EV play to put my chips in the middle....It also didnt help that he was sitting there smiling and not an ounce of fear and I felt if i called i was racing at best and just wasnt worth it.
So I showed My AK after some deliberation and He quickly laughs and said dont worry buddy i run reallllllll good u would of lost and shows his AQ!!!!!.....WOWOWOWOWOWOWO.......I had him crushed and didnt call...I felt crushed...
My Main Event was a disaster.....I was so excited for it and just coudlnt wait for it 30,000 worht of starting stack and deep stack poker heaven made for rounder....
The Main event coudlnt start any better.....As I soon learned my table was filled with donks and I from what i could see was the only proffesional player...
I started getting creative and STarted pulling moves and running over the table....I quickly turned my 30k into about 42k....Gained 12k with 0 showdowns the best way to win at poker....My favorite hand was a early position aggressive donk raised, the guy on the cutoff re-raised his raise, and I looked down at 9 3 offsuit..9 3 off is one of hte worst hands in poker but that didnt stop rounder from re-re-re raising preflop and throwing fear into everyones eyes....Orginal raiser folded and the young kid looked at me and It was great because he looked scared and I knew immedaitly he didnt have AA Or KK....he reluctantly called.......the flop was k22, I led out huge and strong and I could sense he wasnt happy....He deliberated for some time and folded his QQ Faceup...I said Nice fold sir I had AA and was praying u didnt have KK and I evily smurk and laugh inside and mucked my trashy rags into the muck.
I felt on top of the world and then the bad news came!!....They where breaking our table!!!!.....So I get moved tables and have no reads on anyone and im hoping the table is filled with as many donks as the first one...First hand I get i raise 66...I raise..fold fold fold then this Russian donkey fuck stares (who by the fucking way is wearing a darth vader leather robot jacket wtf) at me filled with testerone declare raise everyone folds to me and I call.....flop is j107..I check he bets hugeeeeeeeeeeee and strong....Something didnt add up to me, I felt he had air and nothing, Felt like ak or AQ dry so I made the gangstar call.......turn was a 6......so now i felt i was in real real real great shape....... I checked and he quickly checked behind.....I knew unless he was a real real good player, that meant he was weak and had nothing and I was winning at that point...the river was a 8 the board read J10768......I didnt like it but I felt he didnt have 99......so I bet half the pot into him.....then the wild wild west showdown occurred....this ass clown muppet just starts staring at me like hes going to look into my soul and I wasnt backing down, I just mad dogged him back, shit im from east palmdale no russian guy going to mad dog this beast and win. He eventually stop staring and mucked his hand but that truelly was the begginging of the end for me as NOw this donk was coming after me.......
So a couple hands later Darth vader russian limps another guy limped.....I make an obnoxious 10x raise, russian donk without hesitation calls and other guy calls...flop is k92...no flush draw i felt pretty good....I bet 3/4 the pot which was a lot of chips at this point....he calls....I put him on kq KJ k10 maybe 1010or maybe just calling to try and outplay me...turn is an 8..I felt no danger with that card and there was no flush draw brewing so i checked wanting him to bluff....He quicikly bet and i called....the river was a 3....so the board read K9283.....PRETTY HARMLESS FOR AA.....so i check and he bets huge and I thought for sure it was sometime dog crap hand or him overplaying the king and I called with My AA......he flips over 9 8 offffffffffffsuit for two pair and my 42k stack..was crush down to 22k.....lame!!!......
So an orbit later i raise 99 russian calls flop is 226..i bet 2/3 pot he calls.....turn is a jack i check he checks......river is a 5.......i check sensing he has nothing and wanting him to bluff...he bets pot i call...he shows 4 3 for a striaght...so retard limp calls with 4 3 and calls bets and gets there..
Im down to 15k now... and he limps again and I look down i have AQ...I raise he calls flop is kq2 all clubs I have no club he checks i bet he calls...turn is club we both check river is a brick he leads out i muck, he shows k 4 offsuit with no club but he beats my aq but the fact he limp calls k4 is disgustin and at this point im doing a great great job of controlling my emotions but what donk raping me !! lol..
Down to 13k...Hadnt played a hand for literally 3 hours as im trying to be real patient, I learned that my table had worst donkies then the first one and was in disablief that i was playing a 10,000 dollar event with some of the worst donkeys in the world......
One hand of not was unbelivably disgusting..a Man in a wheel chair wearing a Nascar jacket with about 25 sponsors on it sits down and he starts talking to barry johnston (an old time pro who only plays the nuts)...he seems to be bit of an ass wild man crazy old fart but im glad he sat down at the table as it seemed like some entertainment..
So anyways the hand goes like this...there was 5 limpers to the small blind who is the nascar old fart and he makes some retarded 16x Raise..everyone folds and this young european dude with glasses debates then calls...the flop is j92...the old man bets HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE like pottttttttt.......the young kid counts his chips debates it for a while then calls........the turn is a 10....the old man betsssssss HUGE LIKE 8k which is a lot of chips at this point of the tournamnet...the young kid goes alllllllll in for 12k more and the old man immediatly called like it was the nuts.
I was expecting to see like JJ vs KQ..... or 99 vs AA...something in that matter.....no......Old man flips over a8 for open ended and the young kid shows j10 for top two pair.....the young kid got realllllllllllly scared and was like what the heckkkkkkkkkkkk , was so nervous he didnt want the old guy to hit a queen or 7 and his touranemtn been over......the river was a 7....and the young kid yelled out one of the loudest screams i could remember and Looked like he was full of rage and I was almost certain he might hit the Old guy in the face...at this point the WHOLEEEEEEEE TOURANEMTN ROOOM WAS staring at our table... and the Old man then says.......BODDA BING BODDA BOOOOOOOOOOM....... i got nervous i really thought the kid was going to hit him lol..... the old man then states, thank you JESUSS!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!! ...Chris ferugson that is!!!!!!.........What a freaking douchebag!!!!!....that guy has to go fly back to his country and tell his friends and family some old fart in a nascar jacket raped his life and was gay about it lol...
So at this point i was drooling , the two worst players at my table had all the chips..i sat thier patiently waiting for a hand waiting and waiting...then i heard the floorman say he sgoing to break our table soon, and that i only had 25 minutes left with these donks....25 minutes came and went and i wasnt able to play a hand.....sucked my table broke and i was off to a new table and a new adventure...
I get moved to a new table and im hoping its filled with donkeys...im left with about 12k....2nd or 3rd hand at the new table..I get Pocket Kings...i had about 30 BB didnt want to raise and lose action , didnt want to raise get called by 6 people and be favored to lose, and decided if i limped hoping someone would raise follow a couple calls and i could jam that someone would make a loose call and i could more then double up...everyone folds and im pretty mad but then it gets to the button who raises hugeeeeeeeeeeeeee...and sb and bb fold and sense that the guy had a hand and if i just shoved allllllll in it would look super weak and he would call.....so i shoved all in..
He debated it for about a minute or so and i was pissed at myself for overplaying it but then he finally called!!!!!!!......He flliped over ak..so i was in great great shape......just no ace and im doubled up and good postion to move on to the next day and i can play poker again and not just wait around .....obv ace on the flop...i immedaitly see two diamonds on the flop and look to see if he had a diamond which he did the ace of diamond, I had the king of diamond, so i knew i had to hit a king and onnly a king......turn and river broughtr running diamond and i got up wished everyone luck when the dealer and the player next to me said why u leaving u won man u hit a flush!!......Im like guys he has the ace of diamonds!!.... they felt stupid guy tryed saying sorry and i walked away in sad disgust....
Great disappoinment but im only 30 and there is always next year....
25k worth of donations, hurt was rough and sucked.......It helps that June was my a monsterous month for me as i won over 20k online
July didnt go so hot as i had a losing month the end of the month and through today has been the worst stretch of my poker career.....Its been mentally draining and upsetting but My drive to make it is like noone and I know things will change very soon, I can feel it, Something big is about to happen in rounders world...
Next WsOp is mine!
One hand in particular got under my skin was 6 max 1500 buy in.

25k worth of donations, hurt was rough and sucked.......It helps that June was my a monsterous month for me as i won over 20k online
July didnt go so hot as i had a losing month the end of the month and through today has been the worst stretch of my poker career.....Its been mentally draining and upsetting but My drive to make it is like noone and I know things will change very soon, I can feel it, Something big is about to happen in rounders world...
Next WsOp is mine!

The Will to push forward towards my dream.
Wow......I guess thats the best way to some out how things have been going for me IN the MTT world.....There truly is no justice in poker....You can truely be a moneymaker or a jerry yang or a jamie gold and luckbox your way to fortunes but Im Nick Carrillo and im trying to feast but the bottom line is im only surviving...Its frustrating because I am trying sooooooo hard to make it it big but again Im just surviving....Making 75,000-100,000 a year is nice living it pays the bills and allows me to have fun and do things that I want but with my spending habits and the things i want to do in my life, I have to super feast and im NOT....
Something inside me tells me it will come, First you must dream something and then you must believe that its going to happen then you must put the work in. (Also helps to have talent to do what you believe in ...(i dont think i can ever be a ballerina)
Im frustrated and mentally tired and drained, but my effort and will to win is still there....
Over the course of the last two months...I have gotten severely deep in tournaments...For those of you that are unfamiliar with tournament payouts, most of the time its extremely top heavy....
I keep getting down to two tables or the final table but busting out in 7th or bubbling the final table.....Im doing extremely good but not getting the reward at the end...Its so absurd and sick and upsetting.
Prime example of whats happening, happen the other day...

Look at the payouts and how i get far and get NOTHING...Basically comes down to that one key hand that you have to win and Im not.....and its the difference bewteen thousands and thousands of dollars...this was all in just one day!.......sickinging.
YOu have to remember these tournaments take 5-10 hours....so im putting the hours in and getting just completely screwed at the end, ...So your building yourself up for the possible feast and be all excited to only be extremely let down at the end and your postive thoughts turn into extreme negative ones can be overwhelming upsetting.
I use www.sharkscope.com.......Its a website that keeps track of your profits and losses....i investigated where im doing good and where im doing bad and some of it is prettty shocking..

So I Know what i need to do, and what i need to grind out but my pride and ego wont let it.....Pretty costly ego.....
But its true belief that I will master everything....
My drive and my will to win is unreal and I love myself for that....I never quit and never surrender, I always go alll out and I will get where i want to be but in the meantime I am struggling...
I attack things head on and dont have fear.....I remember my first day at CSUN when we got pads, our coach got all the rookies and you had to call out of the veterans out and go heads up run blocking against...remember at this stage i was only 240 pounds and they where all over 300 lol.....Obv I pick the biggest fattiest strongest ugliest looking mother #$%$##$.....(btw he decline, probably not because he was scared of me because he had nothing to win going against a small pyscho boy)...
I retardly like things difficult, I dont like the easy route, I like to struggle, I like to bleed because Ive been the underdog my whole life and thats just what Im used to.
Nothing is more pleasing to me is to almost taste defeat but have a glorious comeback.
My poor younger brother felt the rath of me when I was a kid as I would always choose him on my team up against older kids then him, sometimes the results wouldnt be pleasing. But thats how you get better and thats how you win...You must taste defeat before you develop that champions heart...Champion heart dont want to lose because he knows how it feels and doenst want to taste it again....
This Champion is hungry and ready......and deserves TO WIN SOME CRUCIAL HANDS AT THE END.....
Goodluck Rounder63!

Got Tilt anyone??!?!
Ok so yesterday probably was one of my worst poker days of my life.....Yes of all the horrible days that i have had yesterday might of been the worst...Guess how much money I lost.....I ended up winning 75 dollars...why is it the worst?!?!....welll because to me one of the worst feelings is thinking your going to feast and to only get shit on in so many tourmanets is unreal....if a couple bounces went my way i could of easily won 30-40,000 and im not exaggerating it was that bad....heres the scoop.....
brett was watching my tables and going holy shit rounder this might be a very big day.....i sat there quietly thinking to myself yep it might be a glorious one.....at one point all at the same time i wasssssss........top 10 in the 40k....10/45 with first being 11,000......i was 2/35 in the 75k where first was 30,000.....i was 1/14 in the 14,000 with first 5,000.....i was 5/18 in the 33,000 with first being 12,000.....i was licking my chops and real excited but like my mom said a long time ago you cant count your chickens before they hatch but for fuck sakes one of them has to pan out right??.....the 40k i raise 98 sooted get remini raised i auto put him on a big hand but i felt maybe i could flop magic and take his stack....flop was 7 6 3 two diamonds i had 9 8 diamonds....have to go for glory and mathmatically i am favored vs aces lightly...i check he bet i shoved he instant called aa and i whiffed.....he was chip leader..ok no biggie i got 3 other deep real big stacks.....75k im 2/35...first is a lot 30,000.....just need to win a couple more big key hands and im golden to the final table.....guy open ships 30k, i have 110k and im 2/35....i call with 99 in the big blind...he has a9 i got him killed.....he hits runner runner one card flush rapes my life......no big deal i still have 85 k but fuck it would so much nicer to have 140k and be chip leader beast with anohter good player gone.....next hand donkey chips j9 into my a8 blind vs blind i lose a 50k pot ok now im gown to 60 things are getting dumb......i dont get a hand for an hour or so get down to 14 players....get it all in aj vs ak and i lose...for dog crap money kasjd;fklasjdf;lkasjdf;adsk.......ok so the 14k is still there......i have a massive amount of chips...there is the chip leader at my table who honesatly speaking was playing real good and for first and outplayed bluff me in a couple pots but it was ok i was still 2/14...we get down to 7 im 3/7....donkey raises i cut my stack in half (which any good poker player knows i am not folding no matter what)..retard ships kq i call with ak......obv flop is qq5 and im out in 7th place bubble for dog shit......ajlkds;jfa;lksdjf;lkasdjf;lakdjsf;lkjsdf;lads......ok....so the 33k we are down to 14 players almost final table.....i limp in ace 4 not a very good hand but i was in the small blind and i was sorta trapping with it sadly because aggressin levels are at all time high....maybe a bad play...but anyways.....big blind goes all in.....i call time forever....then decide for glory...i calll ...its a4 vs kj.....im ahead slightly.....he hits a jack and a king and im out in 14th place for dog shit.....i am fuming man....i feel like going out side and stepping on every ant that i see.....im so tilted i was looking for a penquin but coudlnt find any...
I must be one of the most retarded people in the world to wake up and play poker everyday and go through what i see everyday but i guesss i loook at my sharkscope chart and realize that there are better days ahead then what i went through yesterday.....

Finally I write on my blog....the beast is back!!! Lapc winner (story)
Hes backkkkk.......Anyways time to reflect on whats going on.....Personally Ive moved to santa clarita, I live in a two bedroom townhome and its nice peacefull and quiet for war........Last month, I went and played some Lapc events and obviously took one down for first place..Live poker is retarded....but its highly profitable...But its highly annoying to hear donktards talk about thier poker theories, question peoples play, talk about every bad beat they have ever occured, some of them dont shower etc etc etc....its also annoying i can only sit on one table, the cards get shuffled manually and sitting in a chair and not moving and mentally thinking can be very draining...but live donks are clueless and i love them!!...The 6 handed event that i won was awesome, it had rollercoaster like stages in it for me...anyone that follows me knows my chip stack goes up and down pretty crazy.....I started off like gang busters, raising, re-raising, bluffing, going all in and getting called when i have the nuts, i was inhaling everyone at the table.....some guy called me terminator and was amazed on how i controlled the table and how i wasnt scared to put chips in the pot....In the middle of the tournament i was chip leader and got invovled in a big pot vs the guy that called me terminator and his tourmament life was on the line when i called him all in and he had a flush draw and no live overs....but he rivered a flush for a big pot...i kept my compsure good and kept playing and going going and kept inhaling people until i got moved tables with about 36 to go..
Being switched to a new table sucked... I had no idea how people where playing and there where a couple deep big stacks and i could tell there where a couple guys that knew what they where doing and werent scared to put chips in the pot.......My game wasnt working and i wasnt getting cards and this crazy texan omaha beast kept owning me and it was getting annoying..So I was "brett" like grinding (brett7192 is my poker buddy from Iowa who is an expert on how to be patient and milk the short stack).....picked some spots and was surviving......the bubble was soon coming and i was probably 14/24 or so..with top 18 getting paid.....
Its pretty funny......Online im a crazy asshole who is hated by everyone and hates everyone and i like it that way because i dont like taking money of people i like...thats the rounder63 persona!!.....the crazy beast who brings his shield and sword and is ready for battle....but when i play live im plain nick carrillo with a hidden rounder63 beast ready to come out.
With 24 left rounder63 beast came out...some doucheberry donk who was annnnnnnnnoying the living shit out of me and driving me nuts got involved in a pot.....he raised on the button the big blind who wsa playing pretty good and tight re-raised him and he stubbornly called....the flop came ace high and the big blind checked....donk bet big and strong and fast...i smelt bluff....as did the big blind....he called......turn was a brick....he bet again....big blind called.....the river was a blank and he checked....and looked soooo defeated..big bling showed QQ....and he got sooooooooo upset and angerly said......"You called with thattttttttt!!! what are you thinking thiers and ace out there"...and the doucheberry mucked his cards...i got pissed.....and said " Ok let me get this.....he completely outplays you owns you calls you down and you redicule him are u freaking serious??...he got sooooooooo pisssssssed.."what are you his personal bodyguard, your not in the pot stay out of my businesss"..i say " I have to listen to you be a little baby i have the right to say something"....the floorman came over listen to our stories and i am just laughinag at how a 40-50 year old man can be acting like a complete donkey fuck......floorman came over listen to our stories and i started laughing when he was telling his version of the story because it was making him looooooooook so fucking stupid and i just started laughing and he got soo mad and ask the flooorman " tell him to stop laughing at me"...what a fucking idiot lololol.....so i start laughing harder cus he is acting like he is 3 years old, flooorman says stop laughing and i quietly walk away as the break arrived.....
wow people are amazing......so we get back from break and the donk instead of being all happy and telling donk stories is all pissed off and moody and we are closed to making the money....first hand he shoves all in......everyone folds.....next hand he shoves all in again.....mind you he is overshoving, his chip stack doesnt warrnt him to shove but he just tilty being stupid....i look down i have 1010 and instnat call....its about 75 percent of my chips but i know hes being donk tard....he flips over a4 and sure enough im way ahead.....i soooooooo want to knock this fucking donkey out because of our beef....sure enough ace on the flop he starts dancing up and down like a monkeyfuck and i sit there and take it like a man...say nice hand and keep my rage inside because i really want to say something bad but ive been here before and need to act like it and losing my cool will do nothing but make me lose.....so now im 24/24...and top 18 make the money and im very short stack...
i know i cant sit around the blinds are too big compared to my stack and i need to start moving chips around so i switch gears and start being a major beast not worried about my tournament life......im gainging and gaining chips....then i go on a card rush and my table image looks like im being crazy but now im getting the cards to back it up and i take offffffffff....the bubble comes and im about 7/18...i get switched tables and i just start owning everrrrrrrryoneeeeeee.i get real happy when i see the baby donk get knocked out and he leaves in a rage

Being switched to a new table sucked... I had no idea how people where playing and there where a couple deep big stacks and i could tell there where a couple guys that knew what they where doing and werent scared to put chips in the pot.......My game wasnt working and i wasnt getting cards and this crazy texan omaha beast kept owning me and it was getting annoying..So I was "brett" like grinding (brett7192 is my poker buddy from Iowa who is an expert on how to be patient and milk the short stack).....picked some spots and was surviving......the bubble was soon coming and i was probably 14/24 or so..with top 18 getting paid.....
Its pretty funny......Online im a crazy asshole who is hated by everyone and hates everyone and i like it that way because i dont like taking money of people i like...thats the rounder63 persona!!.....the crazy beast who brings his shield and sword and is ready for battle....but when i play live im plain nick carrillo with a hidden rounder63 beast ready to come out.
With 24 left rounder63 beast came out...some doucheberry donk who was annnnnnnnnoying the living shit out of me and driving me nuts got involved in a pot.....he raised on the button the big blind who wsa playing pretty good and tight re-raised him and he stubbornly called....the flop came ace high and the big blind checked....donk bet big and strong and fast...i smelt bluff....as did the big blind....he called......turn was a brick....he bet again....big blind called.....the river was a blank and he checked....and looked soooo defeated..big bling showed QQ....and he got sooooooooo upset and angerly said......"You called with thattttttttt!!! what are you thinking thiers and ace out there"...and the doucheberry mucked his cards...i got pissed.....and said " Ok let me get this.....he completely outplays you owns you calls you down and you redicule him are u freaking serious??...he got sooooooooo pisssssssed.."what are you his personal bodyguard, your not in the pot stay out of my businesss"..i say " I have to listen to you be a little baby i have the right to say something"....the floorman came over listen to our stories and i am just laughinag at how a 40-50 year old man can be acting like a complete donkey fuck......floorman came over listen to our stories and i started laughing when he was telling his version of the story because it was making him looooooooook so fucking stupid and i just started laughing and he got soo mad and ask the flooorman " tell him to stop laughing at me"...what a fucking idiot lololol.....so i start laughing harder cus he is acting like he is 3 years old, flooorman says stop laughing and i quietly walk away as the break arrived.....
