Poo Bah

So my original article I wrote last week wasn't up to par. I think I tried to explain too much stuff in one article and my hand examples were way too read dependent. I've been working on a new article and am waiting a few players reviews of it before I post it. The article subject is an introduction to 25-50 blind play.

Thanks to Kalledrengen for his suggestions as well as a few other players. I will also be posting a 15 minute video I made a few weeks or a month ago.

Been playing well overall, working on improving some stuff with my game. I've been game selecting 200s and 220s and selling bits of action in some of them, mainly to Hokiegreg. The fish Bcm, Hokie and myself took for like 4k has been doing fpp satellites into the 10 dollar Sunday MTT, so it looks like he's busto for now.

Other than that, not too much to say as of now.

Bankroll $8800ish

Getting platinum tonight.

Dub Coop

The WCOOP Event 10: Heads Up is coming up Friday at 3ET. I'm going to try to satellite into this today (I'm 0-2 so far) once or twice and if I don't make it I'm going to buy into it directly. I'll be selling some action of myself and buying a little bit of other players. Overall I plan on spending in between 400-500 on the event.

Last night was a pretty good night. If you read BCM's blog you can hear about it all in detail, but a martingale fish I've been tracking extensively was on again. I previously made something like 300 dollars from my own games against him and action of BCM's in higher games.

I found this player sometime last week when taking shots at the 200/220s. Hokie was buying 33% of my action and I saw a fish sit in a 200 regular. I sharkscoped him, sat and then looked at his SS more extensively. It said Tilt or Super Tilt. When looking at it closely it appeared this was a 5 dollar player that when losing a game he played a 10, 30, 100, etc. until he finally won a game. It seems the first time I played him that he had done this a few times and the highest he ever got until winning was a 1k. He played all regular speeds.

The first night of this I beat him in the 200, missed registering in the 500, then BCM beat him in the 1k. He then beat a fish in the 2k and said "THANK YOU" and left. A few days later he was back and I had him down to 100-200 chips in the 200 regular and he came back. I made a fairly sick call IMO on a river in which he shoved. I had 333 for a set but it was definitely a spot where I have no problem laying it down given certain reads. I won the hand and he was down and we were planning the 500 for BCM. Then I ran QT into AA in SAGE area. Then I ran A6 into AA. Then he beat my K8 with Q6. Then he won a flip and then he finished me off shoving QTs and I called with AKs and did not hold. It was rough but I think Hokie and BCM took it harder than I did, lol. I knew he would be back and we would bust him.

Last night I saw him in a 10, he got to a 30 where Hokie was going to play him but Hokie was 2 tabling some 50s and missed him. He won that and went back to 5s. Then he lost, moved to a 10 where Joe (TheOpenDoor) took him out in one hand. He played a 50 and Hokie sat. Hokie won fairly easily, then I was waiting to get him in a 100 but another fish registered literally 2 secs before our fish sat and we were forced to watch what was probably a 50-50 match.

Our fish lost. I sat in the 200 and won. BCM sat in the 500 and won, I took 75 dollars of that action. Then BCM sat in a 1k, I took 200 of that. He won. Towards the middle of the game BCM said he might be interested in doing a 2k, to see how much action I could sell for him. I sold 700 (including 200 of mine) and he sat with the fish. BCM won and the fish was gone for the night. Good games to all for this, BCM, myself, Hokie, Joe, Dboy and OMG all made money from this guy (in order of how much we made). We'll see if he ever shows up again.

Moving on, I've had a few coaching requests lately. To anybody that reads this and might be interested, I'm charging 50/hour for now for coaching, at least until the site is up, maybe for longer. I'll also make custom videos for the same rate or review HHs (rates vary). That is all.

There's a few things holding up the site, but the forums are up, www.husng.com/forums . Feel free to sign up and post in the general discussion forum if you'd like. I don't plan on it becoming a huge forum, but if it does I would be happy, just not a necessity to making this site a success for everybody involved (including customers).

That's about it for now, I've done a little bit of work with my business, the season is almost over and I have a few more busy days on the horizon. I'm golfing with my grandpa tomorrow, last time I golfed I broke 100 and beat my goal for this season (my first season in 6 years golfing). I was very happy with the 97 I shot, but the course was a Par 68. I could've shaved a few strokes off but the greens were incredibly fast, my grandpa was even having trouble sticking chips and putting with precise speed. He shot a "forgiving" 84 (he shaves strokes once in awhile, free drops, hasn't hit out of a sand trap since the 80s I'm guessing), not too bad for a man with two artificial knees pushing 300 lbs at 6 foot.

One last thing... I have to make a Poo-Bah post on the 2+2 HU forum soon. I don't actually "have to" but at 1600 posts players kind of give back to the community by making a post that should help others learn what they know. I haven't decided totally what I want to do for this post, but I figure an article and a video or 3 should be good, it'll all be available for free and I'll post a link on my blog when I post. I have like 1580 posts so this might happen within the next 3-4 days. If anybody has any suggestions for the post please don't hesitate to leave a comment on this post. I notice nobody seems to comment on this blog anymore, I didn't install a ticker like Hokie did so I'm not sure how many, if any, read my blog these days. I know he doesn't get too many comments but has around two dozen unique readers a day (I think). Hopefully at least a handful read this blog.

Back in action

I think my PC is safe now. Played 16 games tonight, went 10-6. BR finally about up to the point it was when me and my buddy dropped 2500ish in 2 nights. Hopefully I keep playing well and not running bad and take some 220 shots very very soon.

Out of Comission

Been hit with some viruses on my computer the last few days, making sure everything is taken care of before I play at all or upload videos to the website (which I might just throw up tonight without videos or anything just so I can show everybody the site).

This weekend my sportsbetting buddy came out from California and took me to the Notre Dame game. I'd never been, it ended badly but I was impressed with the stadium. If you don't know, ND got crushed.

We headed to the new Four Winds Casino right over the border in Michigan afterwards and met up with my g/f and buddy (the one that plays on my account sometimes). They have all electronic tables at Four Winds, rake is 3 dollars max (10% I believe). They also have HUSNG and HU cash tables. I sat for about 2 hours waiting for somebody to play a 50 + 5 or 100 + 10 HUSNG or maybe 1-2 HU cash, but nobody wanted to play those games. Eventually I joined a 1-2 table and played for a few hours. I got stacked getting like 80% of my stack in on the turn as a 75-80% favorite and he hit the river. Oh well. My two buddies did not fare well, -200 and -300 I believe each. I'm not a huge fan of live play but the electronic tables are better than the even slower and more expensive dealer tables. I basically treat live play as entertainment as I could be much more efficient online. Plus I don't play FR or have the bankroll to play at stakes that could give me the same hourly as I have online.

I also am fighting some sort of real life virus, I've been taking a bunch of cold medicine and trying to clear up my chest, so it's been a good start to September.
