Woke up this morning and played the Pokerstars Turbo $6 Sit & Gos. Played up to 6 at one time. Good results, Played 8, Won 3, came 2nd once and two 3rd places with 3 busts, 2 with the better hand including AA. Profit about $50 for 1 1/4 hours work.

Going keep focusing on HE that's where the money is.

Will the real Brandi Rose Hawbaker stand up!

After posting a famous "Never trust anyone" 2 plus 2 posting Brandi Rose seems to have disappeared.

What the commotion? I have posted a summary below:

Brandi claims a leading pokerpro stole $12K of her money and did a "Captain Tom on her"
Brandi gets help for a leading poker play and they both lose $30K on his internet account
Brandi gets $2K from Doyle and $1K for an infamous Fulltilt ad
Brandi claims infamous Leading poker pro stole her passport.

Below is typical of the 4,000 posts on the subject.

"LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.... You dumb [censored]!!!

EVEN IF you're story were true.... considering the details YOU did give.... you were the one who gave me your password and signed me on!!! THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO!! HA HA HA
FUNNY TO SEE HOW DESPERATE YOU ARE. NOT BUSTO??? GEEEEEEE..... I WONDER.
Now... I question all... what kind of an idiot would do that? You all think Mark is such an amazing brilliant poker player and I'm a lying ---, so why would an amazing brilliant poker player give a lying ---- his password and tell her to play 10-20. hmmmmmmm.......
NOW, maybe just maybe... you might consider the fact that he was right there!!!?"

For a pictoral look here

Took $200 turned it into $900 then down to $650

Why is my play weakest in the morning cannot find a decent table. Took my $650 and turned it into $47. on the $30/$60 table. Now on the $3/6 short handed O8 table and back up to $124.

Five hours later after being down to $46 and a high of $210, I left for a rest and intend to come back to do O8 2/4 with my new blance $165 perhaps I will 2 table

Plan on playing the whole day! Keep you guys posted!

Whats the problem with Quitelion, Richard Brodie? seems he's now separated from his wife. He' no longer playing the WPT (Re the waiver issue) and his blog is more about women than poker! Wake up Richard we need the old Richard back!

Jan 1st I decided to start a poker bolg

Today as its a new year I decided to start a pokerblog. Yep another one of those, I want to record how I turned $45 into a couple thousand playing on Fulltilt.

So far I started yesterday with $45 and am now at $500 after playing about 12 hours! $1/2 & $4/8O8 and $1/2 holdem

Until this hand came up:

o8 4/8 Fulltilt

Hero 2c5sJcAs
Missipimachine 7s9dAsAd
7hecaptain XXXX

Preflop action, riases till action is capped at $24 each

3 Players take the flop

Flop KsQsAh
(Here I was thinking I've got the nut flush draw and a draw for a straight & the backdoor low, I've seen Missipimachine (Missi) playing 3 high cards, A3,A4 lows, and 4,5,6,7 etc, 7hecaptain looks pretty average solid player who probably came in with A2XX)

Flop action Miss Bets$8, Hero Raises to $16 both 7thcaptain & Missipimachine call
(I try to get 7hecaption out of the pot)

Turn
KsQsAh9h
Turn 7hecaptain checks, Missi Bets $16 & both Hero & 7hecaptain call
(Ok here I put Missi on a high hand, maybe the straight J10XX or 3 pairs K,Q,10 X) So I am drawing to the flush or straight.

River
KsQsAh9h5d

(Ok now I have 2 pair)
River 7hecaptain checks, Missi Bets $16 & Hero calls & 7hecaptain Folds

Missi wins $204
How would you have played it?

That pushed me down to low $400s then some crappy badbeat drawouts carried me down to $300, & the table became more volatile.
