I won 90 bucks total so that was pretty cool. I played really tight and had a really good played that I avoided at the table with me. The only hand that I won worth more than 10 dollars I had AhKd in mp and called the straddle. There were like 6 people in it and I didnt want a huge pot with AK because its nothing yet. The flop came with 3 hearts so I had the nut draw, the sb made it 15 I called and the person after me made it 35, and the sb went all in for 45 total and I called. The pot was around 140 and the heart came next, I checked, so did the woman behind me last card was a blank so I bet 50, she called I win with nuts and played a few more orbits and went home +90 which is ok. Nothing to celebrate, but always a good feeling to win. Anyways I am trying to switch to being an insurance producer instead of an agent so that I dont have my own business yet, because I am not ready. I am hoping to work 20 hours a week and play poker for 30 hours a week and move into a loft downtown. I have been checking out the buildings and their rent over the last few days and I have picked out 2 that I could live in for like 700-850 a month. My goal is to be able to make at least 1200 a month as a producer and play poker for spending money and money to invest in my roth IRA and save up to buy a house in like 6 years. I will be so excited to live in a loft downtown while I am young, because family=suburbs and that will happen eventually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will play againg Friday and update again.

So Sunday I drove to harrahs, about a 35 min drive, and they had a big tourney going so the waiting list was huge, not a big deal I went to ameristar for the first time and played some 1-2. I basically just played really standard and pretty tight for the first hour. I don&#39;t play out of position unless my hand is really good, and I also don&#39;t raise from the button just because I have it. Even though it is 1-2 the standard raise is 10 bucks, and you will get at least 2 callers. Anyways, I played well, control the pot size, didn&#39;t really gamble at all. I mean I only bet when I was good, I missed a few spots due to being rusty but I am learning how to extract any extra cash. Luckily, people playing live say I&#39;ll pay you off this time and call like 15 on the river with low pair. It&#39;s awesome, I mean thanks I love it, please play with me all the time. I ended up winning 260 in about 3 hours, with no big pots to speak of. It&#39;s amazing how badly people play, I mean they call 15 bucks with 3d5d first to act. I loved it!!!&lt;br /&gt;On Wednesday, I went back to play at Harrahs, because it gets a lot more business, and it was pretty similiar people. I played really tight again, and in like middle position I had KsQs and made it 7 to go. I got 2 callers, and the loose BB made it  15. 4 of us went to the flop and it was KQ5 rainbow, the blinds check and I make it 20. The button calls and the SB calls. The pot is over 100 now. Next card is a 10 and the SB makes it 40. I am thinking to myself, he fucking has AJ and has a straight, and I thought for a second theres about 150 in the pot, the dealer looks like he is going to call and if I hit a K or Q I will win a like 280 dollar pot. I call, the button calls river is a queen and the sb went all in 60 I go all in 30 more button folds he has a straight and I win the pretty big pot. I played for about 2 and half hours total and won 150 overall. I know that I can player longer sessions, but I really like just winning and once I feel like I am at a certain amount and feel comfortable to leave I do. I am up over 400 in 6 or so hours. I know that I have to be running pretty good, but I also am controlling the pot well so that I am not all in before the river fighting a draw or holding one. I think that is crucial right now. I am really considering making a run at playing this game professionally. Not some baller making tons of money, but a regular guy making a decent living doing something he loves. I have a lot of choices to make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks, Bungbert</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1744015074256323050/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/back-to-poker.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/1744015074256323050'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/1744015074256323050'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/back-to-poker.html' title='Back to Poker'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-6734692968766733140</id><published>2012-03-13T19:54:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2012-03-13T19:58:43.349-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Everything&#39;s new</title><content type='html'>Ok, so I haven&#39;t blog in a long long time because online poker is gone and that was my main reason to blog. A lot has happened since then, long story short I resigned from my teaching job due to hating it, and got certified by cramming my two insurance tests instantly like within 8 days and not I am an insurance agent for a top 3 company. My plan for this blog now is to talk about my journey in sales, as I have no background knowledge of sales, business or insurance. Here&#39;s the deal, theres a lot of money to be made out there, and I would like to be my own boss. So I can start really selling next week and getting started is going to be really hard, and it will be my job to make sure it happens. To me failure is absolutely not an option. If I have to sell from 8am-9pm to start this business I will. I am 25 and have not kids and I&#39;m not yet married. I plan to be great at this and I will make updates on how much I&#39;m making, the struggles and successes. Good to be back..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks, Bungbert</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6734692968766733140/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/everythings-new.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/6734692968766733140'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/6734692968766733140'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/everythings-new.html' title='Everything&#39;s new'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-1769387519759471560</id><published>2012-02-23T13:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-23T13:06:46.201-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1769387519759471560/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/1769387519759471560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/1769387519759471560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/blog-post.html' title=''/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-3098999430710726730</id><published>2011-05-04T11:45:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-04T11:45:33.957-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3098999430710726730/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/3098999430710726730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/3098999430710726730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/blog-post.html' title=''/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-3325018577416864906</id><published>2011-05-02T08:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-02T08:34:12.898-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The weekend with live poker</title><content type='html'>Well this weekend was a fun one I&#39;d have to say. On Friday I went out with a bunch of people for a friends bday, we played hand shuffle board in a bar for a little and drank and danced, which is always fun. Saturday I went to my buddy&#39;s house to watch the UFC fights and they didnt dissapoint. Most of the fights were pretty incredible, with a lot of good finishes and the fight with aldo was incredible/gross. On Sunday I played poker for about 3 hours. I love playing there while their is sports on. Like the cardinals were playing and I was there for the miami heat game. I was happy the heat won, but the cards lost, booo. So The poker went ok for the day. I was started pretty slow, then got some good pots, but then I did something I hadn&#39;t done in a live session yet. I called light, and bled chips until I was back to even. I forced a few plays and made bad choices. Limit poker is all about extracting value when you have it, and folding when you dont and making good reads which is easy live. So I was about 3 down when this hand happens. I have A5DD and call the blind with about 5 people in it, I am under the gun. I prayed for all diamonds and the flop comes K710 all diamonds, I was like sweet. I looked at my cards again like i didnt have it then checked and raised a guy when he bet 3. He then made it nine and I made it 12 and we went to the turn. The next 2 cards were blanks with still having the nuts and betting 6 every time and he would call. He showed K7 for 2 pair. Lol did he really not think I had a flush on the flop to be raising and raising? Well either way I played about 3 more orbits and won one more pot and left. I profited 33 bucks for my 3 hours, but it could have been 80 if I have played better which sucks, but I am learning. So over the last 9 days I have played 3 sessions totaling 8 hours and I have made 183 dollars. I am really pleased with this and my play for the most part. The only thing that sucks is I have been spending the cash when I go out lol. I said I was gonna save the bankroll and build up but I have already spent 110 of it. So I have saved about 70 of it. I will go back tuesday I think so I&#39;ll keep people updated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Bung</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3325018577416864906/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/weekend-with-live-poker.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/3325018577416864906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/3325018577416864906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/weekend-with-live-poker.html' title='The weekend with live poker'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-4687867094701440079</id><published>2011-04-29T07:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-29T07:28:24.519-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Making progress..bodywise</title><content type='html'>So, first off I live in st louis aka the midwest and for anyone who doesnt live in USA may not know how many tornadoes have happened here recently. Missouri, luckily has houses with basements and no one was killed in the ones we have had but alabams has had a lot of deaths, which is really sad. I just hope people don&#39;t blame obama like people did bush when hurricane katrina happened. Anyways, my point is that its rained here everyday since last tuesday, so like 9 days in a row. So working out in the park for me has been really hard without waders on. So yesterday was supposed to be our first day without rain, but to no avail I get off at 4 and it starts raining again. It&#39;s not raining men, just water but it still sucks to workout with wet ass shoes. But when I got home from the workout and did my abs I took a shower and wow my body changes quickly. I havent weighed myself again, but i should have really taken pictures. Its amazing that working out 5 days a week and eating a little bit better how a 24 year old males body can improve so much. I still have a long way to go ab wise to be happy, but I will fail, because I suck. Speaking of sucking I planned on going to rivercity casino last night like did 2 times recently but I failed. I got home from working out and basically slept from 8 P.M. until I had to go to work. I felt like a bum, but kind of refreshed now. I still havent decided if I&#39;m going to put money onto the merge network or bodog or anything online. I will wait to get my 657 dollars back first. I think I&#39;ll just keep playing live and keep that money seperate save up to buy a computer and TN, poker tracker, and sng wiz and have money for when poker does make its comeback. That may not be for years so I could either become bored by the process or maybe, just maybe I&#39;ll have a sick bankroll to move online and a good set up. This weekend I will be watching the UFC fights, which should be sick, I think randy, aldo, and gsp will be winning their fights, because they are all better than their opponents. I don&#39;t know how jake shields hasn&#39;t lost in so long but i think its because of lack of competition. I&#39;ll be back monday, and someone needs to transfer me 300 fpps so I can get that shirt HURRY!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Bung</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4687867094701440079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/making-progressbodywise.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/4687867094701440079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/4687867094701440079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/making-progressbodywise.html' title='Making progress..bodywise'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-3073093584781615744</id><published>2011-04-28T06:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-28T07:09:21.303-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Music</title><content type='html'>When I talk to people that play music I feel like they write me off as someone that doesn&#39;t or shouldn&#39;t have an opinion about it. I feel like people who play music forget that music is for everyone. The people I always hated were the ones that would try their best to follow bands when they were small just to say they listened to the band before they were popular, or before the &quot;sold out.&quot; I call them music elitests because they think they have been graced by God to look down upon the radio listeners and the people who follow bands that have been lucky enough to get air time on a radio station. I think anyone who reads this knows people like this...its fucking annoying. I am someone that likes all different kinds of music. When I was growing up I only got to listen to like KHITS and KSHE aka 70&#39;s music. I know a lot of 70&#39;s songs now and hearing most of them reminds me of my childhood, and I love that music. It has its own unique sound that no other decade can ever touch. Then in the late 90&#39;s I started to obviously not be around my parents nearly as much and listened to bands like limp bizkit, green day, eminem, tupac, sum 41 and bands like that. This was the opposite of what my parents like, which in turn made me love it. I didn&#39;t know it at the time, but music was my own little secret rebellion from my parents that allowed me to get away from them. Then when I had my own car, with cd player (baller I know), I got to pick all the kinds of music I liked all the time. It made me really love driving because I got to just listen to any cd I want for however long and however loud. There were no rules of music in my car, I had free reign. This is where I discover my favorite band the used. I listened to their first cd for what had to be 2 years straight. It became me, it made me feal alive. It was more than music, it was a part of me and I loved it. I also listened to Story of the year a lot then and eminem. It was loud and angry and help me not be angry through any destructive way. Instead I would just rock out to some music on the way home from school. Oh shit I have to work again....boooo. Well tonight I am going to work out at the park then go to the casino, oh and I this will be my 4th day in a row, I will take off tomorrow and workout saturday to make it 5 days this week for the second straight week. Summer body u have a month to come it, I have to work hard. I&#39;ll post tonights results tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks bung</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3073093584781615744/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/music.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/3073093584781615744'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/3073093584781615744'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/music.html' title='Music'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-3920495449847611978</id><published>2011-04-27T10:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-27T10:08:57.904-07:00</updated><title type='text'>left of fpps</title><content type='html'>I have like 400 left over fpps and wandered if I could get someone to transfer me like 300 so I could get a shirt, lol I have never bought anything from them but I dont wanna just was the fpps.

The crowd was just a chorus of sniffles and people trying to avoid eye contact. When I heard just those first words it made me remember that sick feeling when I found out the news. I&#39;ve seen fire and I&#39;ve seen rain &lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end &lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend &lt;br /&gt;But I always thought that I&#39;d see you again &lt;br /&gt;feeling when I found out the news. &lt;br /&gt;This song is about all the bad and good things in his life, the ups and downs we all have, he&#39;s had a lot with being in a pysch ward and being super depressed. But the last line of the chorus, I always thought that I&#39;d see you again. Its just so freaking true, you just never think about something that isn&#39;t sick as dying, but we all are and we all could. But the second verse is the best. &lt;br /&gt;Won&#39;t you look down upon me, Jesus &lt;br /&gt;You&#39;ve got to help me make a stand &lt;br /&gt;You&#39;ve just got to see me through another day &lt;br /&gt;My body&#39;s aching and my time is at hand &lt;br /&gt;And I won&#39;t make it any other way.&lt;br /&gt;I am someone that grew up catholic and am still religious, I still attend church pretty regularly. Its how I think when times are really tough, I pray. When I feel like i have no chance, no choice and its out of my hands I just call upon God for his help. Simply this post isn&#39;t to analyze this song, which is now fully associated to his death for me for the rest of my life, but more the impact of music on life. I will continue this post tomorrow, they actually are going to make me work right now, jerks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Bung</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/2030165503311587611/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/fire-and-rain.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/2030165503311587611'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/2030165503311587611'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/fire-and-rain.html' title='Fire and Rain'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-6573351653673562061</id><published>2011-04-26T09:09:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-26T09:16:01.306-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Live poker blog? hah</title><content type='html'>So last week I worked out 5 days out of 6 which, imo is pretty healthy. This week I took off sunday from working out because of easter. So I worked out monday and I plan on it tonight wed and thurs, take off friday and workout saturday. So I know I can keep up 5 days a week. My workouts are 2 days a week park workout, its a boxing workout, takes about 50 minutes, and 3 days gym workout. The boxing work out is outside so its a nice change of pace, but its also hard on my knees so the elliptical happens at the gym for cardio. I plan on weighing myself tomorrow night to see where im at weight wise. I am already feeling a lot thinner/muscular. On the poker front I played live on thursday night and yesterday. I plan on playing at least 1 time a week, but more likely twice a week. I am playing 3-6 limit because I like limit more for some reason. The players are horrible, but the rake and tipping make being a big winner kind of hard. I won 60 in 2 hours on thursday and 93 on monday in 3 hours. Its me and a bunch of old men that know each other so its pretty friendly and fun. Its like a home game and they dont care about money. My job is to watch them when they have nothing and value bet. Ive been really good at it thus far. Also i dont raise preflop unless I have 10 10 or better or everyone folded and im on the button. I dont call with overs, and I only play when I absolutely know I am best and then I raise. I don&#39;t really check call and I am watching the players closely. I will be a regular winner at this game because I am better than they r. I will continue to grow the bankroll and once I get enough to move up to 4-8 I will and so forth. I will update regularly.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks bung</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6573351653673562061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/live-poker-blog-hah.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/6573351653673562061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/6573351653673562061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/live-poker-blog-hah.html' title='Live poker blog? hah'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-5622918678109807435</id><published>2011-04-20T07:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-20T07:06:19.460-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Improving my health</title><content type='html'>I said that I would wait until I was 160 pounds to buy and xbox again and since then, last wednesday, I&#39;ve worked out 4 out of 6 days and have plans to workout today, so 5 of 7 which is good.

Last night I was gonna go to the bank then to the casino to play some 3-6 limit or plo if they had it but we had flipping T-storms and tornadoes all over the area so instead I was in my basement for an hour or so and didnt wanna drive in the hail so I waited and went to the gym around 845. It was empty, which made me happy. I watched poker after dark plo version last night in bed and just wanted to play some poker. I wanna play live asap and will on thursday.

Hopefully I can make a schedule that fits my lifestyle to play once a week or more possibly. It sucks more having all the blogs I read basically going away because of this.

I had two wins and 4 straight up losses. So I made 8 dollars, yay. Umm, I am still trying to figure out how to work the sng wiz, but I did some quizzes and read more about ICM and stuff from it, so I am happy with the way I have played and I havent got tilted about anything yet. My goal is to have sng wiz worked by the end of april, lol. My real goals are make a botp leaderboard, I dont care where or which one, by the end of may. I also hope to move up to 13 dollar instead of the 6 dollar by the end of june. But I have a long way to go. I am having the rule of 100 buyins and if I need to fill in a game because of volume I will go one buy in under. If I ever lose 50 buyins at that level I will move back down until I have 100 again. I just got back to 100 with the 6.50 so I need to win 100 buyins at the level to have 1300 which is what I need to move up. GL me.&lt;br /&gt;Also, I have decided to not buy a new xbox yet. I posted that I weighed 182 like 2 months ago and didnt try to lose it until about 2 weeks ago. I started really working out again and cutting certain habits and foods. I will not buy an xbox until I&#39;m back down to 160 and then I will assess if I really want it. It really just takes me away from poker/working out. I use it as a social device with friends, but maybe I will start bowling again, and get people to go so I see them during the week. Well, wish me luck on the sngwiz so i can get a graph up, also on my playing and weight loss. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks BUng</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/2804166211513603265/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/goals-and-other-things.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/2804166211513603265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/2804166211513603265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/goals-and-other-things.html' title='Goals and other things'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-3598357977254325658</id><published>2011-04-14T10:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-14T10:20:09.954-07:00</updated><title type='text'>my xbox died, frown</title><content type='html'>I have had my xbox for over three years (3 year warranty go figure) and I came home last night to find that I have an error E 74. Its fatal. So Xbox says they can fix it for like 120, but I have heard bad things about sending them in for it to be fixed. So tonight I will go to gamestop and see how much I can get for xbox parts and hard drive. I will see how much they will give me for a controller, and how much for the hard drive and power cord and stuff. I will probably sell my hard drive to my friend and controller too, depending on what they want to give me for them. But a new xbox is now 200 bucks, so I&#39;m hoping to get at least 70 bucks back, and then it will be just like I got it for 130, the same price to get a 3 year old one fixed. So I loaded up a set of 6.50 6 man sngs. I have been studying icm and push/fold scenarios and I can honestly say it makes you think about the game much differently. I played all six at the same time, like a set, and I got 2 firsts and a second. I will play again soon, and hopefully I can emulate those results or better. I profited like 20 bucks, which is about 3 buy-ins so I&#39;m happy about that. I will try to get up to 10 tabling by the end of may. Also, I have to download sngwiz to study and get graphs on this bitch. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Bungbert</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/3598357977254325658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-xbox-died-frown.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/3598357977254325658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/3598357977254325658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-xbox-died-frown.html' title='my xbox died, frown'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-5740449812655014153</id><published>2011-04-12T08:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-12T08:11:08.341-07:00</updated><title type='text'>no updates because theres been no poker</title><content type='html'>I went to a really close friend of mines father in laws funeral over the weekend. After which we all went to their house a drank and played washers, 12-0 on the day slight brag lol. So then on Sunday I played xbox most of the day and went to use the computer and whoops I got a flipping virus. Some virus that claims to be a virus protection so idiots will give up their credit card number to get rid of it. It&#39;s insane that people actually click on it and think its real, man they are too dumb to use computers. The only thing worse then them is the people making viruses to begin with. It takes a really shitty person to do that. If I found the person that made this virus I would cut off all of their fingers, and I mean it, they would live the rest of their life know what happens to people who make viruses. Anyways I just looked up on my iphone how to remove it and 30 minutes of attempting this frustrating technique and I got it yay.

He was a good man that I have met and partied with a bunch of times like at least 40 over the last 5 years. He was a fun man that loved his children and grandchild a whole bunch. I am going to his wake this evening and then funeral Saturday. I am not looking forward to this at all. &lt;br /&gt;In other news I couldn&#39;t decide if I wanted to get sng wiz and play some more 6-man sngs or get omaha manager, its like holdem manager, and try to my best to move up in my skills and money in that. Realistically I should have bought one of these a long time ago to keep me from treading water, but I&#39;m gonna get a free trial of one this weekend. The one I chose was omaha manager, simply because I like the idea play cash games over sets of games. Also, I feel that so many people have figured out how to play sngs and I think PLO is just more untouched (even though there are obviously tons of regs there too). I will see how far this leak plugging, stat tracking, device can help me. Also, I will have graphs to spice up my blog instead of people just having to take my word, lol. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a good weekend and tell a friend u love them, thank Bung</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/4244404066558698326/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/more-death-and-some-new-poker-life.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/4244404066558698326'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/4244404066558698326'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/more-death-and-some-new-poker-life.html' title='More death and some new poker life'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-9003596556432443333</id><published>2011-04-05T08:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-05T09:07:30.438-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The hardest thing I&#39;ve had to see</title><content type='html'>On Friday morning about 10:15 A.M. I get a text message from a good friend of mine saying simply &quot;call me.&quot; He is someone that wouldn&#39;t bother me unless it was important. His uncle, and one of my best friends father in law is on hospice and we have been kind of waiting for him to pass, so when I called him I expected to hear &quot;Hey Pat, Bob passed away last night.&quot; I would have been very sad but he has been sick for a while. Instead I hear, Hey did you hear what happened last night, and I of course hadnt, then he told me something that absolutely shocked me, my 24 year old friend died in a car accident last night. I was in complete shock. About 10 minutes after hearing this I started to cry and was excused from work. I didn&#39;t want to be alone, so I went to my g/fs and we did some chores and errands that took my mind off of it. I knew a bunch of my friends were getting together but I didnt wanna see anyone yet. Then I went to the movies with my g/f friday night and saturday we went to the st louis symphony presents lord of the rings fellowship of the ring. Which the band plays all the music while the movie runs on a big screen, it was incredible because we both love these movies. Anyways, this time the movie really meant something to me with some of the things gandolf said. &quot;End? No, the journey doesn&#39;t end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.&quot; Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.&quot;  I never realised how much these meant to me until I had a big loss in my life. Gandolf tells us that death is not the end, and we all have difficult decisions in our lives, its just up to us to figure out how to deal with them. It really sank in. &lt;br /&gt;So then came sunday, the day of the wake. This was the first time I had seen my friends since I heard the news and it still didnt sink in. We went to the wake as a group and the line was so long, about 2 hours, and about 1000 people went to the wake in all. There were pictures set up and everything and just a bunch of things to remind u of him but it still hadnt sank in. His mother and father were greeting people at the casket and it still hadnt sank in. Then it happened, I was about 3rd in line and the person in front of me swayed so that I could see danny in the casket and I felt it. The tears started up. His mom (who was extremely visibly upset) tried to say stuff to me but I couldnt respond because words were too hard to find. We all went outside and kind of hugged each other and looked away in silence for a while. It was real, it had happened and now its over, the life of a person was gone. It sank in so fast and made me feel ill. Yesterday was the funeral, and it was even more brutal. One of his 2 sisters gave a really good speech and was somehow able to talk really well and coherenlty which was suprising. His mom was still crying so loud and painfully that I could barely watch. After the chapel ceremony we left for the casket to get placed into the ground. Once again I couldn&#39;t watch his mom sway back and forth in her chair screaming and crying because she just lost someone that can never and would never be replaced. Mothers and sons just have a certain connection that can never be replaced of broken. She literally lost a part of her that day and he will just be a memory, a feeling, a sense of what could have been, and someone who changed her life forever. I&#39;ve heard that people can die of sadness, they just sort of give up, and I would never had believed it until I saw the true sorrow in her eyes. Luckily she has a great family, and husband to help he pull through this tremendous loss. The other person that really got to me is a good friend of mine and his absolute best friend jason. I mean not everyone, including myself, has that one person who is by and large their best friend. I mean we all have really good and close friends and maybe a friend whom which you prefer the company over others, but not that true I would die for you, soulmate type friend. That was them, it just was, I cannot explain it but if you knew them you would understand that family is just blood. They werent friends, they werent brothers, they were a part of each other. A real living breathing part of each other. When I saw his the teary eyed look on his face as they lowered part of him into the ground I saw more than grief and dispair and sadness. I saw a young man losing part of himself. Will things get better? yes of course, but they will never be the same as they were or could have been had this not happened. So instead of yelling at God, why did you take him, or how can you be so cruel. I will once again leave you with a quote from Gandolf. “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/9003596556432443333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/hardest-thing-ive-had-to-see.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/9003596556432443333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/9003596556432443333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/hardest-thing-ive-had-to-see.html' title='The hardest thing I&#39;ve had to see'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-8657909894904653691</id><published>2011-03-29T11:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-29T11:21:46.617-07:00</updated><title type='text'>50/50</title><content type='html'>Last night I got home, played madden, ate, had a little alone time with the g/f and then I was extremely tired.

So i looked and I decided I was gonna play a sng and I remembered that I wanted to try the 50/50s so I did. I 1 tabled a 1.08 50/50 lol. The best part was I played 1 hand from the button like 4th level I raised with 5 7 hh and get one caller he checked on an Ace high flop, I bet and won and was up to 1700 in chips. Now these have 3 minute levels so people are going out left and right. I didn&#39;t play another single hand and made a 40 cent profit. I&#39;m not saying its a lot but all I did was press fold about 25 or so times. I will do more research on this tonight. I am very interested to see if I could make profit by basically playing nothing but in great position 1 or 2 times a tourney or just playing top hands.

That lesson was that in order to properly assemble something you purchase u must follow the instructions. I am notorius for opening up a box full of shit to put together and instantly being overwhelmed. This January my mom and I assembled my treadmill, and it only took 2 hours. HAHA only I thought it would take like 1 hour tops, but there were 1000 parts when I opened it up. I am someone that likes to rush stuff, like I cant stand playing games with people that dont pay attention or move super slow, I want instant let down or satisfaction. Since then I have assembled a workout machine, a chair, and last night my g/fs bookshelf. There is a certain feeling you get after assembling something, its quiet gratifying. There is that certain feeling you get when you finish somethings its like nothing else in the world. &lt;br /&gt;In other news I played no poker, instead I built the bookshelf and watched jersey shore then watched bball and went to sleep. &lt;br /&gt;Also I read a blog called like baglifepoker its about a live poker player who quit his job like 5-6 months ago to play 1-2 full time and also online a little and move up in stakes. I really liked his blog until recently. I realized how bitter live cash grinders really are, at least he is. If someone has to say &quot;I&#39;m a good person,&quot; or &quot;I&#39;m not a bad guy.&quot; That usually means you are not the kind of person you want to be. I will never tell someone that I&#39;m a good guy or a bad guy, get to know me and make up your own mind. People saying they are good instead of showing it is a pet peeve of mine and is lame. Ok well I have to go continue teaching the youth of america.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks bung</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8463540117451610431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/bookshelf-construction.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/8463540117451610431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5927311920719073785/posts/default/8463540117451610431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bungbertsblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/bookshelf-construction.html' title='Bookshelf construction'/><author><name>bungbert</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08346083655760751301</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5927311920719073785.post-1878141647597980427</id><published>2011-03-24T11:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-24T11:16:19.906-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ugh</title><content type='html'>Well I did do my taxes, get my hair cut, and get an oil change in the last two days.

Like having j10 suited in bb and getting minraised by the dealer I call. I 10j4 rainbow flop I check he bets I reraise a lot he calls. Next comes a 5 and I go all in to his call with AK and gets the gut shot. Next table over I get kings and had around 12 bbs dealer raised I reraised all in he calls with Q10 off suit. I was like sweettt, flop 101010 wtf. So last night I played a little plo .10 and lost again, I just cant seem to focus on that game.
