Who am I.....

No one...But I Keep Retiring and Coming Back.

Maybe not quite retire- Just lazy and unmotivated. I am not exactly sure where my mindset was when I left off but I am sure that it consumed by thoughts of the NBA playoffs, Vegas and Poker. Since then, Poker had become the most important thing to me-for one reason: I hate delivering pizzas.

With that said, I have been grinding my ass off. Playing upwards 5k or more hands per day, I have devoted all my attention to my post-flop play. This is not to discount my preflop play; but, my preflop play does not lead to losing 12 buy-ins. I was not running that terrible, just bad enough at the perfect time to flip the "doom switch" in my head. "LOL DOOMSWITCH YOUR AZZZZZ- Johnny"

Back to the pizza: When you pretty much are at the mercy of some random jerk-off. ( The order Dominos-Most of them have to be losers.) I donk off a buy-in. That is $25- I don't wanna think about what I have to do to earn that at work.

So- I have had my postflop epiphany after discussing the subject with several people who have a game I respect. It has been working very well, as it has before. The difference this time is simple: Long Term Execution. The results will be self-explanatory.

OK. Jared, Ryan, and Brandon- I love you guys but y'all are boring as fuck. LOL. J.K.

Had teh time of my life on my first trip to Las Vegas. Being able to lounge in a kush vacation house with my best friends for nine-days was one of the most educational and relaxing experiences of my life. As you guys have probably already seen- We lived it up. From expensive dinners and expensive clubs to 24 hour-taco places and free alcohol- I was in heaven: In Hell.

They don't call it "the city of sin" for no reason. I am not getting into all the details but needless to say, donking off money live on a couple occasions after seven Heineken's and numerous shots of vodka-does a few things to Mo D:

I am not allowed into the "Imperial Palace" because " I assaulted someone." OK.

I make up stupid dances.

I get in confrontations with meat heads at the poker table. Later one wants to fight.
( I flop the nuts- I go all-in. He asks if I have 'AQ'. I say "No". He calls. I flip over 'AQ'.)

Rip-off Pot from the Damn Mexicans on the strip.
-Subsequently, I got banned from 2+2 for 6 days for asking people if they knew who had "the fire" in Vegas.

I do know how to play poker a bit tho....
