Hey hey guys long time since its been for an update. Heres a couple of things that happened, I actually had a job for a little while at a poker house (I was a dealer) but in the end it didn't work out for me that well. I learned a couple of things that will help my game out, like playing really tight when needed and locking it up (do not play any hands!! even if its hands you normally play, no money committed in pot no need to see a flop even with AK!!) to protect my stack. I also see how hard it is to make money as a poker dealer, but the main thing is seeing how they are treated when things don't work well for the poker players when they get bad cards or whatever the excuse might be. Also it may take a longer time than I wanted to buy a car, somethings came up I want to take care of before buying a car. Damn I hate being broke! =P
Here is the reasoning you should not be blaming the dealer for anything!!
1. Dealer directs action do not bet or act out of turn.
2. Dealer will tell you how much it is to play or what your options are before acting.
3. Dealer should be able to tell you How much the bet is total or how much it is left for you to play or just muck your hand!
4. Dealer is not responsible for your AA's or KK's getting busted or whatever. If your going all in pre-flop your still playing bingo.
5. Dealer is not responsible if you decided to play every hand you are dealt, and lose!!
6. Dealer is not responsible for your flush or straight draw not getting there on the river versus any pair. If you are paying to chase, you accept the outcome.
Once you understand why you or if you do lose at poker then it becomes fun and challenging.Texas No-Limit Hold'em Poker is one of the purest form of competition. The good reason to tip a dealer after your hand is, If you liked the way he/she presented themself, if the dealer is making a good effort to get the action going, if the dealer is controlling the action very well so everyone knows when its their turn, if you are having a good time and the dealer is doing a good job, after you win a hand at least give the dealer $1.

I've seen some interesting things in Maryland but cops are so damn lazy and bored they went to Barnes and Noble in Rockville to bother some bikers hanging out in the parking lot at 10pm. In the picture it looks like 1 biker but theres 2 more on the right. So there is a total of 3 bikers and there is about 4 cop cars in the picture but there was another 3-4 on the right. Is there no justice?

Some updates for my fans.



In this picture I had the best hand until the river, this guy got so lucky. I owned him until the last card.


BIG STORY about the trip to Atlantic City New Jersey. I decided to play the World Series Of Poker Circuit Event on December 8, 2007 at Harrah's Casino. This unfortunately was my last hand in the event. I was doing great until I was very very unlucky.


As you can see in this simulation my hand Nines in the hole (pocket 9's) are a big favorite versus ace jack off suit. Percentage wise its 55.3% favorite over 44.4% In this simulation it shows just heads up play, BUT the table I was sitting at was with 11 players total including me. The reason why I am mentioning this is because I have no idea how many diamonds or ace's or jack's were left in the deck for this gack to get so lucky.





In this picture I have 3 of a kind. I am a huge favorite against top pair and a flush draw and remember it was 11 handed poker. Meaning I have no idea how many outs he actually had. Percentage on next picture.





I am a 69.3% favorite vs a 27.9% of hitting draw. Again it was 11 handed poker.






I am a 70.5% favorite to win the hand vs a 29.5% chance of winning the hand. Again its 11 handed poker.





As you can see in this last picture, he was very fortunate to win. This is what I call a bad beat. If the flush came it would have been ok, but he made a full house when I already had 3 of a kind!!  I was knocked out of the tournament wondering "what if......"







To end the story off good, my friend won $31,000 cash at the Borgata. Come roll with us next time. I'm gonna hit for 10 dimes next time. No more small poker games for me. I am ready for the big league. I'm gonna start hitting the table like my friend Tom.

This just shows how poker has changed in many many years. Its gone from setting a player up with small bluffs, to semi bluffs, then to the big bluff for the chips. Now a days its a straight bluff for no reason, and a lot of pre-flop players that know only about the starting hands and never ever wanting to play "real poker"!!!!

This is an example of majority players today, walking statistical people with no game. All pre-flop with two cards and not needing the rest. All in is just a way for someone to loose all their chips and call it bad luck. All champions have won either on the flop, turn, or river, and they always out all their money with the best hand knowing it was good to them, not an all in to see who hits and takes down 12 million or so.
