What's Your Lucky Charm?

My Result: Four-leaf Clover

Even if you're not from the green isles, you just might share in some of that luck o' the Irish. The four-leaf clover is your lucky charm.

Druids used four leaf clovers to see evil spirits and friendly fairies. If you start seeing magical things however, we recommend laying off the clovers for a while. In fact, you don't even need to possess the actual clover. A necklace, pendant, key chain or tattoo promises the same good fortune of the ancients.

Take note brides and grooms—the mere dream of a four-leaf clover foretells of a successful marriage. Actually finding one might mean quadruplets.

Ok, I know I haven't done a Daily F**king Poker Blog in a while, so here's a new one.

I was playing in the Omaha Hi multi-table with 800 peeps and caught a break in the first hour when suddenly there was no one playing at my table so I scooped the blinds on about 30 hands in a row, which is a stress free way to build a stack. So I had 27K at the first break with still 362 peeps left so that set me up for the second hour.

I was grinding along like I tend to do with a medium sized stack hoping to get hot when came the hand of the night (for me). Going into the hand I guess I had 40-something thousand chips with 80-90 peeps left. I got dealt A-J-7-7 and the flop was 5-8-Q. I'm thinking, ok, I've pretty much missed everything and if I catch a 7 on the turn it probably makes a straight for one of the 3 other players in the hand so if there's a bet here, I'm going to fold. I'm last to act, and it goes check-check-check to me, so I get to check and see another card, not that i'm too thrilled about it, but a free card is a free card, right? The turn card is another 5 pairing the board. It still missed me, but now a 7 on the river would give me a boat so I wouldn't have to worry about the straights. Still, it's just the turn, I don't have the boat yet, so if someone bets here (3,200 is the bet level we were at), I would again, probably just fold since there were only two outs (7s) that could make my hand (not counting a third 5 as an out as then someone with a higher pocket pair could get me). But, again the betting goes check-check-check, so I check again and take the free river card. Of course the river is a 7 and I'm thinking boy did this play out perfect or what? But here's where it gets good, the betting after the river goes 3,200-raise to 6,400-raise to 9,600 to me. I'm thinking what the f**k is going on here? When the board paired on the turn, did someone slow play a boat? I had to consider that because 8s full or Qs full would beat me. And 8s or Qs full would mean that they flopped a set and checked there, too. So I just decided there is no way they would not bet that at this stage of the tournament when everyone is scrambling to increase their stacks. So my conclusion was I had the best hand and raised it to 12,800 (the last raise) and got call-call-call and scooped a humongous pot. I went to the hand history to see what they had. The first guy had 9-6 (for a 9 high straight). The second guy had 9-6 also, and the third guy (you really have to question his sanity here) had 4-6 for the 8 high straight and that was the guy who raised it to 9,600! Of course as you have all probably heard me preach, "Board pair, flush (or straight) beware" so of course were I in there shoes no way I'm even betting much less raising in that situation. Anyway that hand got me to 93K in chips and from there I was able to maneuver my way to my 27th Final Table. Yay!

The last hand before the final table there were 11 left and three got knocked out, so only 8 got to enjoy playing at the final table. Of the 8, I was in 6th place so I didn't have high expectations with a fairly short stack (101K) and the leader at 1 million chips. But I won a couple of nice pots and found myself in 2nd place with over 600K when all of a sudden a Mutt-frenzy™ broke out where just about every hand pre-flop was costing the big blind times 3 to see the flop. With marginal cards and the size of those blinds, I just started folding a lot. Finally the big stack mutt (female) wore down the other mutt, who was also female by the way (female mutts are rare) and I was in the final two, but because I had played so few of the hands the big stack had 2 million chips and I just had 358K. I had to play the "check and call" game with her because, with the big stack, she bet almost every station of every hand and ultimately, she got me. So I finished 2nd.

~~ How Does It Feel ~~

How Does It Feel

How does it feel
knowing that I am
irreplacable to him

How does it feel
to be just a faceless,
emotionless stand-in
when i'm not around

How does it feel
to know you can
never replace
or how you will
never be me

how does it feel
knowing that you
will never come close
to pleasing him like i can

Thru Drama and thru words
you try to do damage,
but in the end, i'm always
going to be his number one

You'd think people would learn
I'm not going away
No matter how hard they push
No matter what they say

So how does it truly feel
knowing, you can never
replace or you will
never be me.

There's a Chance You Could Be Violent

Overall, you're a pretty chill person - and you have a good handle on your emotions. Sometimes your anger gets the best of you, and end up regretting how you act. Try to curb your temper more often. It only has to get out of control once to do some damage.

Could You Be Violent?

~ what carnival ride are you ~

You Are a Ferris Wheel

Deep down, you are a fun, whimsical, and easygoing person. You often enjoy life for what it is, and the littlest changes in course can be quite thrilling. In relationships, people tend to feel what you feel. It can be liberating at first... But after a while, the people closest to you end up feeling a little trapped. Your life has perfectly normal cycles of ups and downs. However, you can't help but sometimes feel that you're missing out on the most exciting aspects of life. You only are happy when you're experiencing the highest of highs. Your low points just make you feel depressed, restless, and bored. At your best, you feel on top of the world with a great sense of perspective. You believe that anything is possible, and that you are happily looking down on everyone else. At your worst, you feel like your life is going in circles. You often feel like you're not going anywhere. This is sometimes psychologically disorienting. And sometimes it brings on a sense of hopelessness.

Today it was Regular Omaha Hi Lo.

I was well on my way to my 21st Final Table when...well, I'm getting ahead of myself. Read on.

I got placed at a table with a bunch of mutts at the beginning and luckily for me, my cards were red hot so the raising and re-raising (with nothing) mutts built three huge pots for me which I swept, and after only 30 peeps had been eliminated I had the overall chip lead. It was very early, so I would lose it, regain it, and lose it several times which didn't really concern me. By the end of the first hour I had 31K which put me in good standing.

The second hour was much rougher for me (the mutts were gone!) but I hung in there and late in the hour rallied to where I had 39K at the second break with 34 peeps left. That's not a huge stack for that stage so I still had a lot of work to do to make the FT. But I was doing fine and churned my way down to the next to last table and was looking good to make the FT with over 100K in chips, when I played a hand where the flop was 8-6-5. There were 5 people in the hand and the first guy to act bet. When you're first to act and you bet, usually you have a strong hand or you're stupid, and since there were less than 20 peeps left I was assuming he wasn't stupid. The question for me was did he have A-2 for a low or 7-9 for a high? At that point I didn't know. I had A-4 so my low was pretty good if this guy was going high. Plus, there were two more cards to come, so I could make a better low, so I called. And that's what happened as the turn card was a 2. Now, if the first guy was playing A-2, I've got a better low since the board paired his 2. But again he led out with a bet. That made me think he was playing 7-9 (which the 2 did not hurt), so I called. Mind you, this was a 24K bet so nothing to take lightly at this point (I had already put 48K in the pot at this point). And no one raised so I had every expectation that my low was good and I would split the pot with the best high hand. And then it happened. The river came and was a Q so did nothing to change my analysis. The first guy bet 24K again. I was all ready to call, and was trying to call when F**KKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was disconnected. I didn't reconnect in time so my hand was F**KING FOLDED. And I would have won the low and my share would have been 138K. So I put in 48K, had the best hand and got zilch, zippo, nada. And I was down to 67K in chips, so suddenly I was at risk to not make the FT.

But I did (my 21st, yay!). Even though it wasn't her fault, I spent most of the time glaring at the ho who stole that pot from me. I had a few moments on the FT, but never got untracked and went out in 6th out of 680. Those extra 138K in chips would have come in handy because my small stack kept me out of some hands that I would have won. That lucky ho who "stole" that pot from me finished 2nd.

Oh and e-cup will be excited to know that I played against a player named Buttercup, but it wasn't me!!!!!
