GAME ON
Do you ever feel like that someone is just too transparent? Well, this has been my impression of the recent blogging lately. I see a war of words that almost instinctively result from an individuals inability to accept honesty. Take Walmart for a second, you know where you stand at all times, so pull a drama queen downer when you get exactly what you have always gotten. Damn! Get a clue! And, if sirfwalgman backs down one inch on any of his recent posts I will discard his blog from regular reading. I appreciate a salty, straightforward, edgy, offensive writer.
NOw to the less blog worthy poker front. I am still pretty bad. I have even reopened my account on party to stop the hemorraghing. The fact is that if there is not structure in place to make me play straight then I will not. I watch myself doing the dumbest things, and making the dumbest basic moves--it is like having an out of body experience with no ability to communicate with the idiot on the other side clicking the mouse. Oh well, I guessI will continue to flush money to enterain myself I suppose. Or I will someday get serious and develop. The latter is looking pretty bad right now.

Poor Internet Play--My Downfall
GAME ON
I am becoming more and more frustrated with my game and the internet game in general. Yep, you're right, things have not gone well. Maybe I should blame it on Stars, since I am down $180 there since moving from party. Although the analysis does not make sense, there are just as bad players both places, and I think I have gotten a little better--wait, I have it. You can not fight stupidity with logic! In developing a learning style, many of the overplayed hands and wrong moves were profitable in the past against the very bad players, and now that I am less likely to push with mediocre holding like tptk or small two pair, etc. then my winnings are significantly reduced. I think it really shouldn't work this way. The draw outs are one thing, but I really am peeved about the loss rate of dominating hands. If I am up against a three outter then I am beat; fact! I also find myself trying to be much more creative than the game really allows; I mean the bottom line is that everyone starts with two cards. I don't like the impersonal/aggressive environment of internet poker, even though the earning potential should be better with a lower rake. Will I quit playing, NO, but do I now think that internet poker could be a supplemental income stream, NO. Earning takes time and effort, and is methodical in many ways, three categories where I am woefully lacking. I have trouble not engaging the game as entertainment, but then furious at the same time for the drunken computer cowboy shredding my KK with 93 off. I think I am now for the internet gaming bill, in so much as I think that regulation will allow for tighter controls on RNG software and other factors that continue to stick in my mind as potential profit making edges for the company. Yes, even if it increases the rake!! Yes, even if it ends up running off the fish, don't forget Lee Jones is feeding them with your raked money by throwing those two outters at them. Just kiddin Lee. Well, enough of the serious and thoughtful, now to a more lighthearted subject like TUNICA is just around the corner. Tunica is like the Las Vegas of the South (accessible to us Midwesterners via a 5 hour drive) and allows for the generally risk aversive to change personalities, sometimes best described as Action Players. Let me reference it in a different way, remember when the straight laced girl in school got drunk, naked and then trained! Well leave out the train, and the naked, and throw in some dice, some Tangaray and maybe a 3-6 limit game. Also add a dose of Vanilla, Big Jim, a lady from Intercouse PA, Jimmy Connors (Ahkbar), The Tortoise, and a few others then there is the recipe for success, OH David will have to be dealing. And, since so many people read my blog, does anyone know how I can get ahold of Trucker Clock by Joel Lindley? I don't want to buy the Greatest Hits on Bob and Tom, which is the only place I can find it. Oh, and I have a smallish (that is a huge lie) surprise for my boy Super Mundus for the Tunica trip. Oh I do Love surprises. I know that he thinks I love to embarrass him, which I do, so I just hope that he can muster the courage to shove it in my face by proudly ____________ my gift as a gesture of deep respect for the way I handle my rig!

Treading Water
GAME ON
Ok, I continue to be frustrated by the lack of positive gains from my game. After careful evaluation I have come to the following conclusion. I play way to many hands online, and need to structure my time better when playing. The little 20-30 minutes sessions I jump in and out of are killing me and producing an action player style that is "Mundo-like". The problem is that it does not seem difficult to get it back, so playing poorly is not that big of a financial consequence. New Resolution: play the game correctly or don't play at all. I think a jump in limits may be the appropriate move to sustain focus. OH, and yes the deck is finished!!

Mundus Strikes Again
GAME ON
OK, could it be possible that one of my card pals has actually entered the blogosphere only to quash my limited but proud authoring of this blog. Super Mundus has again updated his site with none less than a graphics coup that serves (IMO) to minimize the body of work I have been toiling to present. WEll, he updated his address so here is the link if you want to check out his updated blog (solely intended for the purposes of hey Frodaddy, your Game may be On, but I got the juice) http://and-biscuit.blogspot.com/ . All for now.

The blogger effect
GAME ON
OK, as you have been reading, the last few weeks have been a tough pill to swallow. Last night things began to turn around. I find myself playing a few SNGs. Make some bucks there, then I find the blogger cash game, and yes, my game was tighter than a mo fo. Although I have a theory. There were actually a few players that would lay down hands, and a player could actually earn. Well, I am not talking about soft players, but more thoughtful chaps with an obvious leaning toward the love of my life: THE FOLD. Yes it is a thing of Beauty and should be regarded as the classiest play in poker. I also stayed away from TPSK, Waffles is on that like stickum. Luckily I got to bust a guy (yep he played tpsk) with slb at the table which provided the appropriate segue for Walmart to coach steve a little (belly laughing out loud at this point after reading their war of words regarding support or lack there of the past few days). OH, just a tid bit of advice, the $5 wheel of fortune at Aztar last night was a no good whore. My slot Game was OFF.

The Daddy Effect has taken root
July 20th
Yes, my loyal readership it is true. I have spawned my very first blogger. This is not a trivial happening, as I believe you will find this blog to be much better written, factually accurate, and inherently purposeful. And if you are a "Trucker Clock" fan, well, it may be a euphoric experience. Here is the link:http://mundo-folds-well.blogspot.com/ If I knew what I was doing then I would actually link it on my page.

What about Bob
July 20th
OK, here is the deal. I am a very sucky online player. I have accepted it for what it is. I mean losing session upon losing session. I am persistent however. I believe that I will blame all of my bad fortune on terrible players, RNG, and impatience. I am not a folding machine on the internet, and therefore often find myself trying to be way too creative. Do not bluff a calling station, even semibluff, they are not going anywhere. Do you ever have the feeling that Lee Jones is out to get ya???? Well, here is a synopsis from yesterday. NoWayBob (screen name) and I got involved in a hand that falls down like this. I flop two pair, he had top pair best kicker. Get counterfeited on the river and then Bob types in the following: TY. Well I go ballistic, I mean I am seething mad, and just get totally invested in telling this jerkwad how far behind he was and peeled the sucker for a live one. Yeah, he had a premium hand and I was not in good shape pre-flop, but he had no idea what was going on. And then the rest of the table comes to his aid because I am being so harsh. In hindsight I can see the part where me calling him a hillbilly sister F***in Kentuckian could have been a touch personally offensive, but what do I care at that point. I go on to have another $13 losing day on the internet, which is becoming a perpetually common experience. How am I not broke yet? Well, I'll let you in on a little secret; there are people playing that are actually worse than I am. Only a few I admit. I know this post is weak and fruitless, and it was much better the first time I wrote it (cuss word for blogger eating my first copy). Oh, by the way, I am tired of hearing people say you want him to chase, you want stupid players at the tables, because if you have more than a couple, then one of the dunces are gonna get ya, and its not like you can "earn" a pot with all the retard stations. I guess you can wait for the nuts, but who has the time for that. Maybe it is time to move up in limits, get hammer slammed for more money, and then think up a new reason why I have been unfairly treated, of course as a way of justifying my rather poor play. OH, by the way, I am that guy at the table who will flat verbally gut you, and really not know what the hell is going on, so if you are unfortunate enough to receive a tongue lashing, let me go ahead and apologize in advance. And, you can thank me for why NoWayBob, MyBabyLakita, and Controdori (?) have money in their accounts to draw out on you. Yep, I keep the fish fed, it is my job. Now everyone together, TRUCKER CLOCK--who wants some? The game is not on, but I got respect for the way you handle your rig!!!

What About Bob
July 20th
Another losing internet session, will the suffering ever end? Continuing to really struggle with draw outs and stupidity, although that is what we want right? I am so F***ing tired of hearing that bs response from my card pals. This is what I now think. The 25 NL has so many retards that if one doesn't get ya, another one will. Couple that with the fact that I am my alter ego online (non-folding machine) and you have a prescription for madness and chip extraction. Oh yeah, I am that guy. I am the guy who rashly condemns the stupid play of others while handing my chips away like I am the sample man at Chic-Fil-A. Well lets be fair with me, here is exactly what happens yesterday. Playing 25 NL and up about 12 bucks. I make top pair best kicker and short stack (playing very poorly I might add) pushes and I insta-call. He has top pair, weak kicker and catches two pair on the river--OK, no biggie. Nothing said, I like the guy's poor play and will pick him off in due course. Then, NOWAYBOB and I get tangled up in a pot. Well, BOB played AK, a good hand no doubt, I had limped in in front of him with k5 suited(OK, make all your crappy comments here about my hand selection) unintentionally by misclicking (now your feeling pretty bad about those comments you made about my hand selection aren't you?), so I decide to call the raise to out play BOB. Of course at this time I do not know he has AK for all of you who are a bit slow on the uptake. But anyhow, I flop two pair (have you heard my ramblings about sticking two pair up my ass, and that two pair are the devil; I digress) and Bob has flopped top pair, top kicker. Bob, has let me take over betting, and has no idea how far behind he is in this hand, and why would he with my super sneaky k5 suited play. Long story short, the board pairs Queens on the river I get counterfeited and Bob types the following into the chat without knowing what I had. "TY". I was pissed and unleashed my verbal arsenal. The other jerk offs at the table think I am being rash, and finally I help the numb skulled idiots understand that I have completed anger management and that BoB had incited the entire incident by being dumber than a bag of hammers, and he was from Louisville KY which made him a hillbilly sister F***in Kentuckian to boot. So, that is pretty much how my session went, dropped another $13 to possibly the weakest group of players in the history of online poker. Oops, I guess that means I am even weaker-well this is what I have to say to that. You can not keep me beat down forever, I will overcome the mindless, senseless ignorance that I battle online. I am a stud, and I am not as terrible as they are, which makes me better and means I should beat them, eventually, possibly. Well, I was trying to get all fired up in a self celebratory motivational type of thing, but just lost my conviction. Next time you see my online just say thanks, I am the one keeping the fish from going broke on Poker Stars. My online game-is not exactly ON. FRodaddy10-Philanthropist
