Poker and Drunk Idiots

Before I get into the details about the ridiculousness which was yesterday I'm gonna get the poker stuff out of the way. I managed to get 4,176 hands in today. I started off on fire, shooting up about 5 buyins on the day... that did not last, after getting coolered on a couple of hands (Set over set, OESFD missing, etc... ) and playing a couple of hands horribly I managed to get myself down to about even. I don't want to say that I was tilted but I was definatly not very happy, mostly at myself for playing like a monkey on meth. Anyway, so I managed to battle back towards the end, finishing up two buyins... which adds up to about 2.5PTBB/100.

Hand 1- This hand was really tough. I hate folding with an overpair to a min raise but I think if I call i'm just going to leak a bunch of chips... I could raise it but I don't think i'm getting my money in ahead of anything thats calling... even if he only has the 8d... i'm still not in very good shape. Have I mentioned how much I hate the min raise?

Hand 2 - I have absolutly no idea what this guy was thinking... he cannot beat anything but a 100% pure bluff... such a donk. I hate getting my stack in with only one pair, but these players are just so bad...

Hand 3 - I'm not sure how well I played this hand, I can't really think of any spot where I could have gotten away from the hand. I dont think I can fold when gaf1704 makes it $5.30 more and then on the turn the pot is $50 and jreezy only had $9.75 in his stack, I'm going to call that so I figured I might as well put him in. The only thing I could have done was possibly check the flop because then they would have gotten it all in and I would have had a chance to fold. Then again, maybe jreezy checks behind me, gaf1704 bets and then I raise and i'm even more commited to the pot. Tough spot... I think this is just one of the times your going to get stacked.

My PT stats for the day

So yesterday I wake up at around 10:30 to get ready for the party me and my buddies had purchased tickets for a week earlier. The big thing about this party was that there we're going to be 3,000 coldshots and it's all you can handle... In retrospect, that sounds like a formula for disaster but none of made that connection at the time. After a hardy breakfast at McDonalds(I haven't been awake early enough for MD's breakfast in years so this seemed like a no brainer), we headed out to the party. We arrive at 11:15, a little late but not many people had shown up yet... Someone comes up with the great idea that we should wager who could drink the most before they ran out(if they ran out)... I think we can all see where this is heading. So we all shotgun our first 5 coldshots in about 20 minutes. For those who don't know, to shotgun a beer if when you make a small hole in the bottom of the can then pop it open and watch all the beer goodness flow into your mouth.

What happend from this point on is kinda blurry... I can tell you this much for certain, after 15 beers, I vommited into the sink... which really hurt me because when you vomit, your beer count gets knocked down 3 which put me on twelwe and since my buddy kyle had just hit 18, things we're not looking good. But fear not, I rallied and managed to tie him with 18 beers... I would like everyone to recognize that this was all in a 2 hour span.

Obviously at this point we we're all very drunk and things started getting out of control... Kyle began ripping off the cabinet doors, I'm not quite sure why but my guess would be that he thought they we're looking at him the wrong way. Eric was urinating in the corner of the room... there we're 300 people in the room. Tom has slipped on the floor and smashed his head on the refridgerator, he later went to the hospital to get 5 stiches on his skull. I was suprisingly doing pretty well... I make an exectutive decision and decide we are leaving for the following reasons - a) Kyle is unable to stand anymore and is falling everywhere
b) We are going to get our faces punched because of Kyle breaking the cabinets and Eric urinating in the room
c) Most important reason of all, they ran out of beer.

The walk home from the party is not long, especially considering we are going to a friends place which is even closer. I would estimate it to be about 400m door to door. About 3/4 of the way there, Kyle decides that he cannot use his legs anymore and collapses. I have included two pictures of us trying to carry kyle... I'm not gonna bother writing anymore about the remaider of the day because I think those two pictures sum it up pretty good.

Well all I can say about the pictures is HAHAHAHA
My weekend was much more uneventful since I had to work all weekend.
So now on with the poker

Hand one - There really isn't any hand that you could really be in good shape. He can have a set, straight, big draw, or overpair. You can beat a bluff. Min raise is so crazy and I hate them too.

hand two - nice job. I need some of those donks at my table. Don't know why he called but I would be careful against good players because if they call you I doubt you are ahead.

hand three - sometimes you just go broke. You made a re-raise with AK which is a good play. You can pick up the pot right there or hit the flop. They both just call you and then you hit your K. I don't see how you can get away from it. No way to really put that guy on AA and the other guy made his set. I think this is a good example of a mistake made by the AA player. He should have put in a 4th raise since it is a multiway pot to get out the 99 and pick up the pot or get called by you as a huge favorite. He got greedy and paid for it.
