UPDATE: All hands now available by pokerhand.org links.
EDIT: HH Convertor isn't working for some reason

Played about 1k hands yesterday and owned, ran good obv to have a 25bb/100 hands is too good to be standard lolol.

I have just hopped back into NLH 6-max cash after grinding SNGs and other cash games. I started off at 25NL as I am a true bankroll NIT!!! I hate it but its the only way I can constantly survive without going busto (which isn't an option for me).

Biggest loser of the day...I think this might be a fold to the UTG's 4-bet range this deep...

Biggest Mistake of The Day

I play perfect and get to turn + river cooler this guy!

My standard Stack-A-Donk Move

Absolutely HATE my opponents 3-bet preflop, he is just going to get owned by my UTG range...

Another spot I play perfectly and get to Stack-A-Donk again lol

Another mistake I make, I was lost with what to do on the flop because I cannot raise, and I can't fold so I call. Then on the turn I though about firing but I thought I would be turning my hand into a bluff (which it isn't, as it has a lot of equity against his range) so I check behind. The river call does seem thin, and I do think it is a fold as this player has bet sizing tells...but eh whatev

An Interesting line I took out of position in a small pot, with KK on a WET boared I missed...

I think I should have bet $5 or $6 flat on the river...but I don't think betting more than 1/2 his remaining stack is a big mistake.


Well its Sunday afternoon and I'll be eating, showering, and probably putting in another 1,000 hands today...ill keep you updated.

Edit: it is 6:30 PM and I haven't done any of the above lolol

So I am done with three classes, (I think, not really sure for one of them), and have one test left tomorrow. So far I got a 4.0 in US History II, Microeconomics, and hopefully my Public Speaking as well.

So I should be getting my Associates next semester and have automatic acceptance into Uconn Storrs campus as an Economics major which is great, I dont even have to pay an application fee!

I ended up almost missing my last final and was 10 minutes late! Luckily the teacher wasn't a dick about it.

So everytime there is a new family guy I am the first person to find it free online so if you are ever looking for the newest episode you can just check my blog or twitter page. Twitter is probably much faster and reliable, www.twitter.com/williamcraven , so check there if you want new family guy episodes every Sunday night/Monday morning.

And finally there is a new up and coming womens golfer from Russia, Maria Verchenova, and she is smoookin! She is definatly going to end up making more money taking her clothes off than swinging a golf club.



and a little of this for you guys!



damn she is fine




To be honest guys I haven't played poker for a while and am probably just going to get my bronze status for iron man, 1/2 a month of CR, and whatever small profit I get from rakeback and a 4% roi on super turbos lolololol

Well until next time!

lol so the title may be a bit misleading...this is in no way shape or form a "new" car lololololololol

if you haven't been reading it is a 1997 Hyundai Elentra GL with 77k miles on it but I'm a broke long time unemployed gambler so its good to finally have a car again! It took all day today to drive down, get the title, bill of sale, register it, put the plates on and drive home so I am beat!

I would post some lavish pics but the car is a 97 Hyundai lol!

So I played a bit more PLO yesterday and went down a buy in 4-tabling without any excitement or hands. I have started to nit it up against players who know me as they think I'm a crazy aggro spew box and even folded my bb with AsKQTs from the an UTG full pot 10% preflop raiser, UTG+1 full pot reraise with a PFR of around 15%.

I am unsure if this is a leak but UTG had been VERY tight and I wasn't closing the action...definately the first time I have folded something that good in PLO preflop to just a three bet!

I will be putting another session in tonight, probably nothing big just a couple hundred hands. If I post any on PLOmaha.com I will edit a link in at the bottom.

Well good luck guys!

Ugh it has been a week of little sleep with more and more school. Luckily, I am doing well so it is worth it. So May 4th, I went around telling everyone it was cinco de mayo, and of course I looked like an idiot because cinco (five) de (of) mayo (may) is obviously on the 5th of may.

I set up a twitter account, my username is williamcraven, and hopefully I can update if I make any deep runs in tournaments. I never play many FTP mtts as the fields are far too strong for me to justify playing with other easier games available.

I did run crazy hot in the first hour of the mini ftop event #1. Hit two top sets, and quads another time. At one point I had over 400bbs. A crazy loose player sat to my left and would not fold anything to my reraises. He made smaller bets taking advantage of position and put me in a lot of tough spots, and I obviously tightened up significantly but being 300bbs+ I am not used to and being out of position every single hand was a bitch! I tightened up but got unlucky in a few hands, top two vs str8 draw, over pair facing huge third barrell on river, fold it twice, call it once and lose, etc, and eventually busted right before the antes kicked in. Very disappointing but I noticed how soft these huge tournaments are and I may begin taking shots at them.

A friend of mine has a band, The Hemingways, and they just recorded a few demos. I think they sound sick but you can decide for yourself if you'd like there myspace is

www.myspace.com/thehemingwaysct
They are pretty new so there are only two songs available I believe. If you live in the CT area you can check out their facebook fan page named "The Hemingways".

Well off to bed for me...long day tomorrow!

Turns out that views only count for unique visitors! Thats pretty cool that like 30 different people actually check this thing out! lol I must sound like a total loser but anyways...

Today I had to get up at 10AM, fuck that in every way. Sundays were made for waking up late. I drove all the way down to Groton in Southern CT to look at the car I' getting. It turns out it doesn't have a sunroof and there is a dent in the side, but I'm getting 25% off the already very reasonable asking price so I could care less.

I checked my PokerTracker graph to see how my ROI is looking after a pretty difficult downswing. I felt as though I was crushing my tables but it just wasn't showing up in my graphs, so I really thought I had an ego thing or something where I thought I was the shit (which I clearly am not, lol i buying a 1997 hyundai elentra) but it turns out to be an error in PokerTracker when full tilt came out with an update.

Here is what my graph looked like, when it was reporting my ROI of being 2.3! Gross right! For super turbos I was hoping for at least double that with rakeback included.



You can clearly see at the bottom of my downswing the lines begin to flatten out, which is actually impossible as it would be exactly break even at points and you cannot do that playing super turbos with the payout structure.

So finally I decided it had to be an error and I checked Sharkscope...



As you can see I had an epic $250 (35 buyins) up swing after such an epic downswing lol and I thought I had been break evenish since playing again after the downswing!! Feels good to know I am not crazy and I owned!

Well I'm off to finish up my school projects on local effects of foreclosures and the historical accuracy of Gangs of New York (pretty cool actually), and finish up another 60 more super turbos after midnight for my iron man status for tomorrow.

Take care!


Edit: If you want to see any of my PLO hands I'll be posting them on PLOmaha.com, It is a omaha only forum with a great group of guys so you should check them out!

Decided to write this one early today (and actually on the day I'm talking about and not 4 in the morning lol) on account I have to wake up at 10AM tomorrow to go look at a car I am probably buying.

It's a 97 Hyundai Elantra GLS with 76k miles on it. Its all power everything sunroof and all! Haha I know that may not sound baller on this site but hey I don't work and am paying for it all myself so I take pride in it. Only thing is that is has a crack windshield, but I am going to get the entire windsheild replaced and for the price I'm getting it for I don't care!

I am going to finally start up PLO again tonight probably after diner so I may edit this after with any good hands, big pots etc. I'm due to run hot as god in PLO so well see how much my studying has helped.

If you aren't one of the people who flamed me in 2+2 forums lol I took a break for over a month I believe from playing due to running god awful in three bet pots. I hate variance and am a bankroll nit so who knows why I love PLO so much lolol. I guess it is just the next level thinking involved that really makes it so stimulating.

Edit: Ran pretty good playing plo, Celtics win, and FTP got me my iron man medals! So all is good!

Well there isn't much to report on the poker side other than FTP tried to gip me out of my iron man medals as usual the month! lol so now I get the two day fiasco with support to get them finally!

I played skate 2 all day today. I played the original skate constantly and put out quite a few great videos. The new game has a cheap editor that is even worse than the original but offer this crazy deluxe one for extra. Obviously I will be buying it ;) as I love putting out videos.

I'll post links to them up here as soon as I get all the spots and can do work on some real nice footage.

On a good note I got my first follower for twitter! lol I wondered how long it would take for me to get one and looks like only a couple days. Night quite sure who they are exactly but hey who cares!

edit: if you wanna check me out there im at twitter.com/williamcraven

Well late night for me and I have a lot of school work backed up from not doing ANY today, so now random OT posting for me!

So I've been grinding out...nothing exciting. Superturbos, small stakes, and a juicy side game that switches between holdem to plo when they get deep(SO AMAZING). Internet PLO has been soul crushing as usual lol I wish I could get more hands in but with school its tough. Got priorities you know.

There is a palm reviewers promotion where they are giving out their new product if they select you. Obviously they won't be picking that many people, but hey it could be your lucky day. You can check it out here www.zoomerang.com/Survey/survey-intro.zgi and I'll be checking back here more often now whenever I find cool stuff!

Edit: Sorry for not updating in such a long time...looks like since the software update all the views got reset, I kind of hit a rut when my buddy past...its still hurt to this day you know.

Edit 2: looks like all the pokerhand.org links have expired too so they aren't available. I'll use the hand history replayer from Cardrunners so it doesn't happen again.

then ran bad...now friend died...just found out...research paper to do as well as a lot of work on a web site I am working on. If you actually read this anyone? Seems like enough do lol. You'll hear about the site.

Hey guys I am about 1k hands deep and running at like 10bb/100 hands but I do not have enough time to post the hands or pt stats because I am going down to the blueman group concert in boston for 4/20! Very exciting since I have two web sites to make for my xhtml class and a research paper to do for sociology.

I will post pictures, hands and pt stats when I get back tonight or early tomorrow!
