So I had been struggling along at the online pokers, tilting over getting deep and not closing and generally in a pretty foul mood (4 month breakeven/downswing can do that to you!). Then for some stupid reason I decide to actually to do a couple of days real work as a removalist... My mate Dixon has already made a hof blog post describing it (keep in mind he did 5 hrs with me on Thursday, and I backed up with another 12 hours on Friday).
CROSS-Posted from http://thelifeofapone.blogspot.com/:
I woke up at 7 and walked to Watson's as we had arranged to do some work for this lady that lives behind the Big GSV. Watson warned me not to go out because the work we would be doing was strenuous, obv didn't listen.
Alright so we get to this ladies house with the plan of moving all her shit to another house, for $80 an hour all up. I'm still covered in spew, my mind is fucked and I walk into one of the biggest secs pits I have ever seen; it was seriously like something off A Current Affair, this lady (the craziest hoarder of all time) must have kept every belonging she had ever owned. There were boxes of shit everywhere, old newspapers, baskets of shells, the place was fucked. Not to mention that it stunk of cat shit and cigarettes. This first observation made me absolutely tilt, I couldn't believe what we were in for. To make matters worse the lady was completely tapped, like a proper head case. Talking so much random shit, pizzling my life and I was just being a bit of a cunt.
She believed that we could have the whole house moved in one day and I had to give her a not juuuuance because of the abundance of shit she had. To put things into perspective; it took us one truck load to clean out half an average sized living room, which was only filled with boxes and a few shelves and cupboards. I'm still blind and the first thing me and Watson grab is this big cupboard. Watson is walking up the ramp for the truck and he slips and I watch as a big ass cupboard is about to squash him, bang moves out of the way and is safe. Tapped lady is still pizzling our souls so I start to have a bit of fun.
Lady: "Make sure there are four bricks under each wheel of the truck"
Me: "Yep I have three here"
Lady: "NO FOUR!"
Me: "Easy..."
We unload that truck at her new house and I inform Watson that I'm only doing one more load cos this shit is fucked. Mini Moan has tagged along with us and he has a car and all I can think about is how pure it would be to just jump in his car and bail. Maccas run and I'm crumbling, finally sobering up and realising to the full extent just how messed I really was. Watson is driving this truck and at one stage bunny hops the shit out of it, it was as if we were on a roller coaster. Second run and I'm dead, I just can't do this anymore. We decide that we will find all the biggest shit we can and stack them in the truck so it looks like there is heaps of shit in there, we do that then go back to the house. Tapped lady is killing my soul and I drop something.
Lady: "Watch out!"
Me: "Fuck, beats"
Lady: "...yeah"
I do the best thing ever and claim that I just got called into work and we all pull the pin. Made $125 for only a few hours work and I still don't believe it was worth it, just so happy I never have to see this lady again.
Anyway to avoid future forays into the labour market I actually won money at poker today.. BINK! 3rd in 55/25k for $4.3k and won the late 5 quad for $2.9k. Also like to mention Kiel "Irish Lights" Cram's efforts in winning the $26/18k superstack for 5.5k and a 6th in $26/28k gtd for another $1.4k; obv I run good in staking! (in b4 mbn etc) So again, I find myself (almost) out and am super keen to keep up the good work.
TOTAL: -$2,194.78

Some numbers, Melbourne
So I've arrived back in the gong after a week away in Melbourne; overall it was a great trip!
Thursday I was chauffeured into crown by the one and only Julian Cohen to play the $1,100 six max lead up event of the ANZPT. The tournament got off to a dream start, managed to stack someone in the first level when my JTs backdoored a flush after being openended on the flop, we got stacks in on the river, top two no good sorry chief... Then proceeded to rollercoaster up and down, the table being pretty decent apart from Michael Egan who was luckily on my right, playing a very solid aggressive game.
Got moved tables holding roughly 40k @ 200/400 and promptly lost three quarters of my stack; defended 95ss on the button, flop K95r, old guy leads like full pot (3kish) which essentially screams "I have AK or AA!" I pop it small and he snap jams then starts berating me when I flip up my hand. Lucky old fuck catches another King on the turn tho, and suddenly I am short and hating life the blinds moving up to 300/600. Jam my last 10k with 77 over a CO raise and a call from the big blind, and win a flip vs ATs then very next hand stack the same guys remaining chips with AQ > his AT all in pre. Stack kind of hovers all the way to 600/1200, I have about 30k when the next hand goes down. Middle aged live guy who is playing really well and fairly aggro opens MP to 3k and the BTN flats, I 3bet to $8,500 with AJcc and he time-bank shoves which I sigh-call off and manage to 3-out his AQo on JKx x x.
My 65kish stack gets moved again, I manage to win a few more pots to chip up to 80k roughly @ 800/1600, then... old guy opens CO to 5k, I 3bet to 13.5k with KK and he shoves for 100k with the old Ace ten off and flops an Ace to send me walking with 30odd left. Luckily this allowed me to go and have dinner with an all-star lineup; baza, dave & lisa, benn (risk2dupside), ben (bazooka87), RAWKS, moffo, and of course Wennie Shhhhteeeeeel. Dinner was hof, a Chinese banquet with course after course being delivered to the table, accompanied of course by a dickload of drinks. After which risk took us to some pretty amazing drinking holes, none of which I will ever be able to find again due to their out of the way nature.
Unfortunately the main event on Saturday was a non-event, my stack went from 20k to busto over a few hours, pretty much lost every pot I played, good times. I was able to play a Monday session in the hotel room with Dave, and "saved" it good and proper monoing the $27.50/30k from 200 out to come 3rd for $3.1k, after which we cabbed it out to the 'Cohen Life' house for a BBQ. Got very very wasted while playing Fifa '11, me and Andy Hin schooling all would-be challengers. Tuesday morning was breakfast with Brad, Moffo and Dave followed by a trip to the Airport. I should mention that over the course of Monday night, and Tuesday morning everything was paid for by the person who lost the 4-way scissors, paper, rock - gg plebs as I freerolled everything BINK! Skill game obv...
Got 5th in today's session in $55 turbo rushament on FTP for 1.5k which pretty much saved it. Results below... (cue drumroll..) Really looking forward to getting that number back into a positive... *fingers crossed*
RESULTS:
Today: -$306.04
Melbourne Trip: +$10,447.02
OVERALL: $-$6,964.76

September recap, HELLLLLLLLLLO OCTOBER!!!
Been putting off making this post for a while, mostly due to the fact there has literally been nothing to report on the poker front... September contained lots of small ups and downs, I think I finished something like -3k overall from roughly 30k worth of buyins over 700odd MTTs. I got pretty frustrated with it at times for obvious reasons, tournaments are fucking gay when you don't win at them.
Luckily, life has been pretty fucking sweet lately in other areas (apart from the massive beats of losing both our grand final and Collingwood winning the AFL grand final replay..) Me and the footy boys had two massive three day benders, one after the grand final loss on Saturday into Silly Sunday into Mad Monday, followed a couple of weeks later by a very loose excursion to the Gold Coast for footy trip. In fact, I am still recovering almost two weeks later from the Gold Coast trip - mbn to get the flu.
Finally, I have managed to start October with a bang! Casey and I went up to Star City on the public holiday monday to play the $550 deepstack which I promptly busted out of TT < QT (hof raise/call from MP for 20ish bbs) Jumped on the 200-500 table and doubled up quickly to 1k, then moved that to play the 500-2k game for the first time. Doubled with QQ, made it $80 from the CO, get 4 callers, flop 743r and check shove on the button who made it very clear he was going to bet if checked to who promptly SNAP calls with 99 (COOLER_BRO) Kept winning pots here and there got up to a high of about 4k then lost a largish pot 3betting QQ and got it in on the turn for 1k on T942hh and lost to T9o. Still finished up 2.5k which was very nice as I flew down to Melbourne on Tuesday.
I've stayed with the Hugh & Julian Cohen, Tollgate and Weygang for a couple of days then checking into Crown today (love winning packages!!) Anyway so hanging/grinding with the boys has been very fun & profitable; I shipped a ANZPT seat on the Tuesday night which = $2.5k in $T then got up early to grind Wednesday morning with the non-so dedicated grinders joining me later in the morning. Anyway they say a picture tells a thousand words so..
All up managed to book about a 10k profit online since ive been down here, hopefully the upswing continues for the $1,100 6-max today and the ANZPT Melbourne main event this weekend! I'll update the total when I get home, but I'm proud to report it should be looking a lot more healthy! (or a lot less sick)

Breakeven week... GRAND FINAL THO!
Had a pretty decent day today which put a positive spin on what has been another pretty ordinary (but at least breakeven) week. I really felt like I played well today and ive been able to control my buyins however I still get involved in the occasional 109, I guess I cant resist trying to clear this downswing all in one hit! Cashed in a bunch of stuff today (21% ITM, $38 ABI, 38 MTTs) including some stuff id love to win one day; $55 daily 90k on stars, $55 40k, $20 1r1a... Although I did manage this:
Dear ragenut,
You finished the tournament in 2nd place. A USD 2,490.00 award has been credited to your Real Money account.
in the $55 500 cap. Top 3 finishes have been hard to come by lately, and hopefully I'll be able to emulate this soon in something a bit bigger! Looking back, I've had a couple of really deep runs go not as far as I would have liked in bigger shit, got a 21st in $109/125k gtd and 160th in the millball last monday, as well as bubbling for a 2nd ANZPT melbourne package on Friday night. I guess I just have to keep plugging away and hope something eventuates. Also the total doesn't include the two ANZPT packages i've won (shipped a Melbourne one last week sometime) so I guess things aren't quite as bad as they look. Ill def be playing the Sydney Champs ME ($1650) so hopefully I'll get my live rungood on!
In other more important news the mighty UNI BULLDOGS have managed to secure a grand final berth in both grades this Saturday! I kicked three goals in our semi the weekend before last, and went down the weekend just gone and got shitfaced on the sidelines watching first grade get up followed by the SCAFL preso night. Anyway regardless of outcome this weekend is going to be fucking massive, and im going to be super fired up for the game... So hopefully will see all you shit cunts there ;)
RESULTS:
Today: +$1529.51
OVERALL: -$19,795.75

Wednesday night out, subsequent manishment, and a tough day at the office
Had a pretty horrible day at the tables while playing higher = a pretty easy way to lose some decent $$$. Its funny how sometimes it just doesnt happen for you some days - today I felt the most switched on and pumped to play I have in a while, and made a ton of promising runs. Bubbled some big stuff, nightly 100k & 70k on stars as well as FTP $163 ten off the money KK < KTs AIPF zzz. Didnt cash anything more than $400 and the deepest run of the day was the stars 20 rebuy which I was monoing and ended up flopping the world with ATdd vs AA AIPF 2 tables out: Flop 964dd turn 7 giving me extra outs and a big brick on the river for a very unspectacular 12th. Also racked up another pretty deep finish in the early stuper unded up coming 27th running KK into AA for a top 3 stack, pretty gross.
Anyway I have a day off tommorrow playing @ full forward for the mightly Uni of Wollongong reserve grade vs Bomaderry then going to see the Pies hopefully eat shit and die vs the Sydney swans tomoro night.
Went out on Wednesday night and got unbelievably manished... Town was absolutely packed despite the drizzling rain as every uni student in Wollongong bar Hamish "Im not getting drunk tonight" Gorman had finished their exams. Regardless, who do I bump into @ Ivory but the man himself off his head! He proudly showed me some smudged barely legible scribble on his hand which apparently said: "You have an exam tommorrow; do not get too drunk tonight". Classic! Eagerly awaiting the exam results for that one...
But I digress. The night actually started with dinner @ North gong with Casey, JC, Rennie "shrek" Carnivale and Tim "chasingKesby" Dains. Steak n a few beers later we say goodbye to the girls (this includes Rennie obv because in his mind Gym > Socialising) "you dont get biceps like this hanging out at the pub". Grabbing a 6 pack of premix Jimmys (brings me back to my 18yr old days when I could only afford Cougar n cokes) me n Tim head to Luke "McGrog" Mcgregor house where we meet up with Dobbo and some of Luke's mates and proceed to predrink it up while pizzling the shit out of Simmo "jizzpants" Irish who is failing spectacularly at doing an assignment apparently a lazy four weeks overdue (at what stage do you give up) To Simmo's credit he did man up and drive us into town; in return I might pass him the ball on the weekend @ footy.
So packed arse Ivory ran into the one and only James "big Koots" Cayley; Chloe, among endless numbers of other individuals by this stage recollections are getting a little hazy due to peer pressured Jagerbombs (i fuckin hate jagerbombs) as well as endless bourbons (who can pass up Wild Turkeys in happy hour). Across the road to Glasshouse the manishment continues with Chad "Dobbly" Kroeger. I distinctly remember a few things; ran into Millhouse who seemed to have lost the ability to speak which did not deter him from shouting incoherent nothings in my ear. I actually saw James the next afternoon who was still passed out on the floor of his place, but I definetely understood his "fuck off" when I asked him how he was feeling looooooooool. Other memories include going drink for drink Jack n lemonades with Brad "PDF" Golledge, by the 3rd one we were lapping them outta the glass to demonstrate to some rookie 18 year old fish why we were shouting "MOTHERS MILK" at the top of our lungs. Also got pizzled by this dude who was an Austrian exchange student back in Year 8 in high school who has been in the Austrian army for a couple of years and is now built like a brick shithouse and proceeded to crush my hand while giving me some motivational dribble about making the most of my potential... obv poker doesnt count and today certainly didnt benefit from his uplifting speech.
Manage to escape on the bus to Castros with Jack "paddlepoplion" Dobbo who is as paralytic as I am by this stage. If anyone can fill in the blanks for me in this stage it would be much appreciated only thing i remember is seeing John"thatdeafguy" Ziogas outside in the smoking area... very standard good to see him loving life though. Next thing I remember im by myself at Fat Boy Pide - accused the dude working behind the counter of trying to fuck with me because the drinks fridge was on the other side of the shop than the last time I was in there.. Smash down my barbecue Meatlovers pide which is fucking pure: pide >>> kebab imo. Also semi-abused some chick who used to work behind the bar at cooneys when we were 18 year old menaces; it was standard operating procedure to powerspew @ 11 after starting drinking when happy hour started @ 9. Those nights were fucking pure; I have very fond memories of being stoked when you got up $5 in the pokies - because that was enough to buy the amazing $5 combo of one Carlton Draught and a bourbon and coke!! anyway I accused this chick of being responsible for the fact that Im not as intelligent now as I used to be and that she singlehandly caused the destruction of many of my brain cells.
She laughs it off --> cab ---> home and I slumber til midday upon which I wake up fucking manished which lasts with me all day and night, I almost vom multiple times at footy training. Not the only one feeling the effect though; messages received from Dobbo on Thursday:
* "wow what did i do to myself last night im in agony!"
to which my reply was:
"I'm dying ive got the junkie shakes"
and he comes back with:
"Mate im fucked im convinced im actually dying"
for those interested in what Jack did last night he crumbled his soul back @ mcgrogs on what looked like possibly the worst pull out bed in the world while the soccer was on. Thursday night he had to go to work teaching little kids how not to drown unrucky Dobbly appropriately summed up by Dixon "HAVE FUN AT WORK CUNT"
yeah there may be a reason I dont punish my liver that hard that often. Looks like Dixon had fun last night though I will post a quote from Facebook today (for those people who dont know Dixon, the amount of shit he posts on facey in a day is directly correlated to the level of manishment he is enduring).

2nd day; lots of deep runs, proft.
grrrrrrrrrrr such a frustrating day. I know I should be happy but cant help feeling a touch hard done by...
started @ 4.45am like a good grinder should no real love early except for a 3rd in 27.50 big antes on stars for 800.
Finished regoing @ midday and watched as a number of nice stacks began to appear in my last ten or so tables. Ended up finishing 10th in probably the biggest FT bubble in my career in the late FTP $163 FO ($21k for 1st) and busting A9 < 99 shorty on shorty violence.
Taking this in my stride managed to win A8cc > JJ on the FT bubble of the UB $130 sniper. Flop xxx one club turn club me and Crammy both fistpumping the club river hardcore and instead bink the A on the river to go into the FT 7/9. Ended up with the CL early after AA > JJ (FUCKING SWEAT flop QT9 and then bricks out gg) then got 3 handed and 4 bet jammed AJ into the most active player left on the table gg QQ is good. Next hand back to 10bbs A5 > aggro dudes K5 and then very NEXT hand he raises the button i ship QQ he snaps A2o and flop 26A obv lol gg wp etc etc etc FUCK. End result 3rd for $3,300; not a bad result considering i was 7th going into the FT but really wanted the 7800 for 1st obv.
End up monoing the $26 28k gtd on tilt to finish up my session. go from 2/16 to finsh 14th zzzzzzzzz. Those lower stakes freezeouts are a bit of a crapshoot late; everyone is trying to make the FT by folding and you cant really afford to lose to many pots >30bbs. Anyway shoved Q6 < shortys AJ blind vs blind then blinded down, blinds up and snapped off a BTN shove with KTdd and brick out vs AJo gg 14th.
Still cant complain with another winning day; going to head out now to celebrate + celebrate end of exams with dinner then manishment @ north gong and other assorted fine drinking establishments in the Gong with Wennie Shhhhhhhteeeeel and the rest of the uni kids.
Nothing else of note except that I almost died making my return filling in for the powerhouse of Wollongong Tuesday night indoor cricket that is the Headies Shreddies last night. After the 1st (of four) overs I was ready to call for the ambulance as I was on the verge of a heart attack; luckboxed only getting out a couple of times while my batting partner Neil proudly showed off wat he's learnt @ the mighty Keira Lions by steering our combo through to post a respectable total. Then got my run good on bowling somehow binking 4 wickets through a combination of full tosses, short balls and one amazing slower ball with Simmo "Drazic" Williams expertly cleaning the fool up behind the wickets. And bink end score 120 - 70 odd gg texas hammer shralping ring ins.
Must get fit if I am ever going to be able to play any position apart from full forward...

New blog; 6 months 200k
So i figured it was about time I started one of these. Hopefully this signifies the start of a new period in my life; ive decided to but uni on hold for six months (with every intention of going back) and grind hardcore with the goal of making 200k in six months between me and Rennie "Steel" "I bench Bobbis" Carnevale. So that leaves me with 100k to make between now and Christmas 2010 I guess. I plan to keep putting in good volume and hopefully run half decent - its a pretty achievable goal. And of course if I fall a little short then its not like ive exactly wasted my time. I also plan on using the extra time to "try" and get fit (I know ive been saying that for years) but exercise is a great release, especially after sitting at a desk for 8-14 hours at a time.
Err so 1st day was ok I guess, had some deep runs finishing:
-2nd in the 5r25a (aka the Risk2dupside invitational) for 875
- 3rd in 20r 7.5k on UB for 1kish
- 3rd in 75PL 6k on FTP for 840
- 8th in 44 turbo on stars for 255
plus assorted other cashes got 12th i think in the 50r on UB and busted my last table ($109 2nd chance) in spectacular fashion calling a 10bb shove and a 15bb reshove with TT from the BB; facing QJ and AK flop T8x turn 9 riv brick obv for the CL with 20 to go. Still a win is a win...
Results: +$545.64 ABI $61 from 56 mtts [4 FTs; 1 bubble]
In other news, James "mbntoponeonadancefloornearyou" Dixon came over and is the proud new owner of a fresh new Full Tilt account and with my rough guidance while multitabling my session managed to win his 1st $1.10 45 man sng!! If dixon manages a transformation into an online grinder he is seriously going to be the most famous person in Wollongong as he is already known all over town by both bouncers and pub patrons as the skinny manished pubehead losing his shit on a dance floor near you...
Anyway the upcoming week is probably going to be a struggle as im sure I will be getting fucked up on potentially Wednesday and Thurday night so I may be in for some late starts. Manished grind... that pizzling!
