Last Day

Well, I am going to to doctor this morning to get some blood work done. I have a gut feeling that my lab results could make for an excellent super fun game time. Yesterday was a bit of a disaster. I made it to the second round of the FTOPs PLO event, but my second table didn't pop up and I blinded off and then gambled away a lot of money in the cash games. Full Tilt was nice enough to send back my tournament buy in. Unfortunately that only recovered about 1% of my loses for the day.

Here is how every other day has gone these past two weeks:

Play golf with my friends and win 100 dollars in prop bets. My skills in comparison to my competitive peers:

Off the tee box: 3
Putting: 2

Chipping/Pitching: 5

Composure: 1

Clutch: 9

I make all my money on the last two holes.

Come home and play some poker and crush the cash games.

Play an FTOPs event and go out on a dumbass hand and go to bed slightly tilted.

Had a pair of drinks at a dance bar with Margaret Cho after going to a house party where I was the only white dude. Fun night.

Thought

Something that has really been annoying me lately in poker is when you ask for advice on a decision you made and people reply with, "I think that is profitable, but probably not optimal." The whole concept that a decision is profitable in a vacuum is pointless. To think of it at an extreme, if one was to open shove all in on the button for 200bb with AA it would surely be a profitably play, but everyone in the poker world knows that is a terrible play in almost any circumstance. If a play isn't optimal there should never be a positive adjective attached to it. If there is a way to play the hand that isn't how one would make the most money, who the hell wants to hear about it?

I played my worst golf of the season today, but thanks to a clutch 18th hole when the big skins mattered I pulled a profit of 200 in prop bets. I have been getting so lucky in everything I touch these days people should be paying me to poop in their toilet.

I got crushed on the golf course today, but I guess that isn't the worst problem to have. I went to the Braves game afterward and I was quite tempted to dip into my last two drinks for the month. I survived sober.

Had two beers at the hawks game and won 50 in prop bets. When it rains it pours.

I played golf today at Alfred Tup Holmes. Despite never having officially shot below 100 on a full round of 18, I shot a career low 89 today. Highlights include teeing off my driver on a par 4 267 yard hole and sticking it 6 feet from the pin (just missed the eagle putt). Was still good enough for a 30 dollar prop and 100 in props for the round.

I booked a two bedroom suite at the Palms Place for 3 weeks for this WSOP. Pretty excited about the company, the balling room and the limitless possibilities...

Great friends in town, awesome day on the lake with the ski boat, not too much difficulty skipping on the drinks.

I love omaha.

I dwell in the past too much. The future looks pretty good.

Fakebook

I got a friend request from a suspicious Joe Cada account, so I sent him a message:

Joel Patchell April 8 at 10:26am

who is this?

His reply was pretty convincing that it was the real Joe Cada:

Joe Cada April 14 at 7:57am Report
