I couldn't let the true aficionados down forever.
I have a confession to make. despite my being a huge professional my mood and general outlook IS strongly affected by my short term results, and so while a few days ago i had resolved to either become a professional economist or a career member of the foreign service, now all i can think of for my future is how confounding and ridiculous it is that the bellagio does not have a condo development in its complex. am i supposed to drive from the fucking condos at the palms to get to bobbys room? because online poker is great and all but i need to be somewhere where my fans can enjoy and celebrate me in person. then i will write a book called "inside bobbys room " and colbert will joke with me how this sounds like a book about shy teenage homosexuality and i will smile and chuckle a chuckle triumph and I will reach out to touch his strangely enticing curved ear and say "steven i have always wanted to be YOUR formidable opponent."
Let me tell you a short human interest story. I will abridge it because i know u are busy my dear reader: yesterday im playing 5-10 no limit effective stacks 2k i reraise the cutoff from the button with kts he 4 bets double my 3 bet (quite small in other words) i call and flop 3 tens and he stacks off with aces. he goes crazy how much i suck and how lucky i always am. meanwhile this guy is a professional player but completely sucks my cock and balls (as my cousin from long island used to say). I say nothing because i am too mature and besides no free lessons. but i note that he has been rude to me and he will suffer later. i will make a special effort to crush him. today he is back 10-20 3 handed i squeeze once after he raises on button and sb called. i check fold flop because not a one trick pony. a few minutes later same scenario i have tt. flop comes 9 high i bet flop. turn is small - all in. he calls with 45 pair of 5s and misses. what a pleasure. he looks like complete moron. The game fills up and then people leave and we are playing heads up. i have maybe 6500 he has like 2500 we play awhile he chips away at me until he has almost caught up, and then this hand: there is an irrelevant short stack in the big blind, mr wonderful defends the small blind with k4 of clubs. now basically in nl u can never ever ever call out of position. this is an exaggeration obviously but if u just never called out of position wouldnt be big mistake. certainly, especially in heads up or in this case 3 handed, where your credibility is suspect to start to call out of position with weak hands and the plan of making shenanigans is suicide. i have a6 clubs and it comes down beautiful club club club and we both have like 4500. I bet every street and he check raises all in on the river. and keep in mind this is not our normal game. usually we play 5-10 so this is twice as painful. so fucking beautiful sitting there with all the chips feeling through cyberspace his bitter dejection, his hatred for all men living and dead. his cursing anger at this gross injustice. how i am always lucky and how he is never lucky even though he plays so fucking good. AND UNTIL THIS HAND HE WAS WINNING THE HEADS UP MATCH, congratulating himself on being the true champion after all. At that moment it was really a pleasure to be alive. SWEET LIKE JUICE OR WINE.
anyways enough this poker talk. what shall i buy for my beloved Roxy to celebrate my being the world champion? at first i had thought a smallish pony might suite her, might be just the thing for this park slope princess. but then i was thinking how much more wonderful on Saturday morning to waken her with a litter of lovely piglets furiously running back and forth in our bed celebrating their thriving little lives in a hysterical and vigorous frenzy! but i suppose they will get lonesome for their mother and i dont really have enough room for a sow to live and nurse comfortably. also a large pig might be scary at night.
i will now enjoy my leisure activities.
