I dont think its a crisis of confidence that has lead
to the cessation of this blog. But it just doesnt look
any good and well its good to start afresh. As for
removing posts i guess its pointless...
Anyway there is now rk index

ists ?
Since 2000 i have been labelled a fascist, communist
and a sexist at various stages . Is it possible to be
all 3 at once i wonder ? At least i havent been called a
racist. Anyway i dont think anyone was too serious,
when they said it.
Which ist are you ? Capitalist , industrialist etc. ¶ 7:25 PM 3 comments

weekend
last night beers at the exter were good, other than
that the rest of the weekend was disapointing,
crows lost, and i was bored for the entire duration.
i was out. I blame that on myself , friday
night poker i was stuck on my own table, (tho
dg was funny - "you are a river rat")
saturday when i was out i was bored, on sunday
when i was out i was bored, seems like everyone
watches tv whenever i am over.
On the upside i improved my ring poker, and learnt
a few more things. Everytime i lose or win a decent
pot esp, i work out whether i played it well or could
have played it better.
This morning, played a nice hand with Ks. Three
ppl limp , guy raises it to 6x BB, the button calls,
I call, the first limper calls, and so do the other 2.
Flop comes J-8-3 rainbow. I check and the early
limper bets 1000 into 800 pot. Now i was considering
betting but with so many ppl in the hnad, i like to
get as much information as possible. Now as it turned
out everyone else folds all the way to me. See if
i bet and got called, i could be up against a set, or
may be aces, and not know where i stand, however
as it turned out now I just need to analyse one persons
hand correctly. My biggest concern is he has aces,
he limped and called a large raise, but i can prolly
rule that out, coz he chose to call the raise, after 3
other ppl came in and 2 other ppl would call,
meaning if he had As, it was an excellent spot to re-raise,
and he didnt, his call seemed for value. Next question
did he have a set ? His overbet seemed to want to drive
ppl out of the pot, not induce a call. If he flopped a set
of 8s or Js, surely you would want action with so many
ppl still to act, he had an excellent opportunity to check
raise, and therefore i concluded he had something like
A-J. I check raised all in, he had Q-J, and took it down.

Hmmm
I cant shake the nagging thought, i might have
played it differently 3 handed if it was my
seat i was trying to win. How ghey is that,
i definately didnt ghey it on purpose. But
did i lose sight of the goal to come in the
top 2. Not to take out the aggressive guy,
my nemesis, with what i was sure was the
best hand. Or would i have made the same call,
i mean did i just make an error. Im sure if
i folded and the other guy came back, id have
regretted it, but he was weak the other player.
He sat back and waltzed into the world series.
Definately playing to win it was the right , playing
to come in the top 2, arghhh. ¶ 11:15 PM 0 comments

$2 ...
I cant believe it, lets rewind a little. Sat
Night , 1.30am, Barter is playing in a multi
tourney. Im still up wondering how im going
to play in the paradise poker tourney starting
at 3.30am. The plan to is have a nap, and wake up.
Barter's tourney is $2 multi sub qualifier for
the wsop ! $2 tourney, has everyone gone mad ???
Frage was playing $5 stt. I ended up sleeping through
the day, but barter hung in till 4.30 to win a seat,
the top 3 got $100 seats in a monday morning multi.
Funnily enuff, 7th place got $2.40, a 20c profit on
3 hours of work, asian sweatshop kids would demand
a higher rate.
So the catch is barter cant play in the multi , coz
he has work, and since my work and playing poker
are one and the same, he asked me to play.
Ok its 9am start for the toruney , or so im told,
9am comes, it starts at 10, ghey. Could have slept.
10am, tourney kicks(wrong word) off. Absolute poker,
$1500 chips , blinds are gradually increasing but
happen every 10 mins. 280 ppl top 2 get wsop seats.
Get little to start off with. In fact the notes on
barts must be this guy is a rock, fold to everything,
coz i cant get anyone to call a raise. Later AK, Js,
AQ all go to wast coz everyone folds. Start playing
6-7s and raising with 3-2. Play "absolutely" clinical
poker, just picking up pot after pot, with little heat,
win a nice pot when my Qs take an AK short stack out,
and im dbl average. Here i sit for ever it seems.
17K in chips was dbl average, now its almost average,
and now its below average. But at least there are
only 3 tables left. In fact the card drought im on
is getting ridiculous. Cant i pick up a hand? constantly
ppl move all in, and im forced to raise with j-3 to pick
up the blinds and stay alive. Now the guy on my
right is the most aggressive player, which would
sound like thats good positioning but he raises my blinds
every time. Every time, from the sb, and the button,
relentless. Now i could move all in over the top with junk
but his raises are so big, that hes committing himself
to call me. Down to 2 tables 15 ppl left, times are tough,
im almost 1/2 average. Series of raise and folds.
I move all in and get called for the first time. Arggh
A-5 vs 7s, flop 9-3-2, - 7 (oh god) - 4 oh my god !! Rabbit
out of the hat. That stroke of luck keeps me going for
a bit longer.
Cmon where are my cards, still nothing. Key hand comes up
at the end of the 2 tables. I have k-9 on the button,
aggressive guy just limps which is weird i suspect something
fold. Flop comes k-9-x, he takes out two ppl with his aces,
and my k-9 woulda doubled me up , argggh.
Aggressive guy is on my right again, basically for the last
50ppl we have been in the blinds together , ffs.
He raises again, i have 4s, decided to call
1/3 of my chips off, flop comes A-Q-3, he puts me all in
i fold, he shows A-10, dang . Good fold, but the idea
was right, try and make a steal if he missed, but he didnt.
Now i have come up with a new strategy to deal wiht aggressive
guy, its important sometimes to get more info by talking. I get 3s in
the bb and instead of calling, his over raise, before he
gets the chance to raise , i say im all in if u raise. He
thinks about it and he folds. Then i manage to use this trick
when i have crap another time, and buy a free blind. But
i get no cards, literally and am virtually dead. And someone
always seems to raise. I pick up an A high, get called by
a K high and then dble up. Here is where it all goes mental
in a short space of time, i keep re-raising the aggressive
guy with A-k, and Js and another hand, and suddenly im back in
it. Soon after i take out the 4th guy wiht A-5, and its
3 handed , 2 ppl get to go to the world series. Oh my
god. Which means barter will be going to the wsop ! In all
my attempts totalling up 6K, to get into the wsop this year,
i have never even got this close. Unbeliveable. Does
this affect the way ive played up to now i hope not.
But then as quickly as i rose up it can all come crashing down.
3 handed i have 170K, aggreesive guy goes all in for 145K ,
3rd place guy 100K has folded, i have AQ i make the call,
he has 4s, hits trips im crippled. Cant pull another miracle
out and just like that vegas on a $2 ride for barter disapears.
I coulda folded and grinded out the other guy. But AQ was
too good to pass up, and i thought about it later, and I
had to call. Either 50-50 or quite possible dominated.
Unreal, surreal, so close and yet. Yet if the goal was
to come in the top 2 why not fold, and let him dictate
the play till the other guy has to stand up, but thats
bs, coz im not folding aq 3 handed to a maniac, when
i think its the best hand, i cant and i wont.
But now there may be no world series...

Oceans 11
Ive been watching oceans 11 and oceans 12, and
ive learnt the importance of getting a good team
together. U get a lot more done. And u need ppl
who can do different stuff well, at least
relatively speaking. If u dont have good ppl
u go backwards, and ur better off by yourself.
Like the frenchmen in oceans 12 he was good by
himself. However its more fun in a team and u
have to be extremely talented to go solo.
So far RK's 11 (well may be not 11 and may be
not RK's)

Nai synergised my machines , so much better now.
Already the wheels are in motion ... ¶ 7:38 PM 0 comments

$2 , $5 , $20 ???
Walking through myer centre with nai, and i glanced
over at this girl and her friend. They were young,
about 19 and reasonably attractive, but dressed up.
One of them went in the store, and the other then
came up to me. Which was kind of weird and said
do you have $2 ? Thats kind of strange, they're going
shopping why do they need $2 off me. But i dont really
say no. So i looked in my wallet, couldnt find any
coins (i throw my coins into this jar), and said
sorry, and then she said do you have $5 , and i
was looking at her puzzled, then she said do you
have $20. I laughed said sorry and left.
Why didnt i ask why do you want $2, then suddenly why do you
need $20 off me. And what do i get for my $20 ?
I mean is it unfair for people giving money to
get something? I had $300 in my wallet at the time,
the possibilities were endless... ¶ 12:23 AM 1 comments
