1% if it's still available.

I'm ok with what you did in Columbus. Though most people don't swap as part of the package, Chris Tryba does it with people he deems to be skilled and trustworthy and I trust you would do the same. Regarding the low payout %, the ev does not change much with the % paid. It's obviously higher variance and you won't cash most of the time. But when you bink, you gain heaps.

You currently have .75% rolled over, if you'd like to purchase an additional 1% please send me $40.04 via paypal.

I'll sell an extra to you since you have been with me since WSOP.

Thanks.

Haven't checked-in for a while. I'm fine with you firing a second bullet in a 3% get paid tourney (I actually prefer high variance tournament plays in a stake that includes live cash) and am fine with the swap. Seems like you posted the swap ITT so we have no confusion.

From the beginning you've been honest about your mistakes and eager to learn and get better. I have been given no reason to doubt my faith in you.

If any current investor wants to sell 10% of this next package at 1.05 MU hit me up, I'll buy you out.

Keep grinding LG!

On the ride back to my condo I debate stopping at a whole foods store to pick up some health food/hipster type **** to make breakfast with but I decide I don't want to be a pussy like that and I opt to stop at a Bob Evans, slam some biscuits + gravy, and eat like a real man.

Even though I am still irate about the Bob Evan's powers that be taking the blue Kool-Aid off the menu, I decide to leave the waitress a $5.00 tip because she was a nice old lady and not one of those tatted up meth heads that serve you at a Waffle House.

So, I get home and a text from my friend Rex comes in that says, "Frying up fish here at MGM Detroit, you want me to save you a Chilean Sea Bass? I know that's your favorite Big Shooter."

"Sure," I reply. "Put me on the list. I'll bring this new marinade."

I take a quick shower and carefully select the most degenerate looking outfit I can assemble.

I figure a guy like this must be hated by his wife and kids and he assured me he was happily divorced.

The main feature of the table was two lesbians that had recently been married. One was a tall thin blonde that was obviously a shell of her former self but at one time had been very attractive.

Since Will is black I'm like, "You've gotta get on that man. Ruin the other girls life. I thought once they go black they never come back?"

Anyway, as the conversation continues a new man sits down at the table. This is the kind of guy that makes it rain on strippers and on my bankroll. So, he's fine with me.

Eventually, the two ladies arrive back from lunch and this is where the true gem of this story occurs....

The lady proudly smacks down her pocket aces.

The black man says, "No Good. King Four. Ship it!!!!"

As the lady is shaking her head in disgust she says, "You called me with King Four? King Four? You ****ing suck. Why would you do that?"

While the black man is calmly stacking his chips, he takes time to lower his sunglasses and make direct eye contact, then says, "Bitch. Because I can afford to...."

Tried my hardest to hold the laughter in.
LotGrinder, I just discovered this thread, and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Great stories. The October 10 post above is pure gold. Congrats on the tournament and cash game success. Sorry I just missed out on seeing you posted a package while I was reading earlier pages, and it sold out. I hope to make it to Choctaw or Detroit (I go to both) and say hello.

Best of luck.

Hollywood Columbus last week - clusterf**k. I love playing the good tournaments they often have at Toledo, though.

WHO TAKES THEIR DESKTOP COMPUTER ON ROAD TRIPS???? At least get a Nexus 7, dude. You can afford it.

Just discovered the thread as well. A++, looking forward to further updates.

OP, if you are taking your desktop solely because you like typing on a keyboard, you can always just buy a USB keyboard and plug it into a laptop to type on instead of using the laptop keyboard. Lugging around a desktop & monitor seems like it would be pretty irritating compared to a keyboard & laptop.

Bull, I must have reading comprehension skills because I did not see that my % rolled over. Thank you rounding up. Keep me at 0.75% please, we need to make sure that you get a nice big share when we bink this package!

Sorry for no update last night.

Had to cut session short 6 hours in due to migraine headache/start of a nasty head cold.

Good news is we did finish $260 up.

Funniest hand of the night was I raise QQ utg to $15. Folds around to a super nit otb who makes is $85 with only $115 back after.

I fold and he proudly shows aces.

Then he says, "Last time I only made it $50 with these and I got cracked. That won't happen again."

Ok...so...feeling terrible today and can't stop blowing my nose.

Going to take today off, guzzle some Robitussun DM Max, rent the silva vs weidman fight and relax on my couch.

Plan is to play a 8-10 hour NFL grind tomm to make up for not being able to play today.

Clocked into MGM 1/2 NLHE with a $250 buy at 3pm.

Feeling a lot better about my head cold, feeling pretty terrible for Anderson Silva breaking his leg in half last night.

Go us.

****e...didn't know any of you were in the "bubble."

In five hours of poker today we've won one pot for more than $30.

Down $100.

Good table, just poor starting hand selection while IP.

OP I am getting all the suited gappers or hands like J10o.

Will keep grinding.

Played until around 11:30, finished up $83.00.

Funniest hand of the day was....

We change tables because action had died at original table that was good but we couldn't get any cards.

We post $2 and it's a 6 way limped pot.

We hold Jh3h.

Flop is Ah Kh 6h.

We are utg2 and lead $10 into $12 pot.

Rec player fires all in for $165.

I just know he has a set or two pair.

No way he has Q high flush. I snap call.

He fills on river when another ace hits.

A/6.

That was only big pot we lost all day...unfortunately we didn't win any.

Overall really boring day and happy to scrape out that $80.00

I got one more hand ima post about tomm.

Hey guys, thought I owed a Friday 1/2 and Saturday 2/5 session.

I didn't play last night as I was with a girl. (Pics coming.)

Anyway, 2 hours into 1/2 session and we are up $140.

Grinding until 3-4am tonight.

Will be 8 hours+.

Was down $200 at one point, grinded back to +$116.

Ended up leaving after I called a nits $17 raise with 97s from the sb to play him heads up and then just check/fold the flop.

Was over 8 hours deep into the session and that's a sign of me trying to force something because I feel entitled to be winning more...clear sign I'm fading deep into my B game.

Tty all tomm!

How deep were stacks? What was your plan?
Rise of The Bull: The Quest For The People's Ring Quote

Nit only had $250, plan was to flop two pair, trips, flush or something that beat his overpair.

So, definitely a **** plan.

Ok backers...I was only able to play 5 hours of 2/5 today.

I finished up $480.

Let me know if you want that $480 win to close out cash game part of package or if you want me to put in an additional 4-5 hour 2/5 session.

The reason why I got to casino late is because today is my birthday.

Hey LG. Hope all is well homie. Looking forward to that monster update (hopefully complete with chick pics...)

Hey guys,

Departed MI two days ago during blizzard and due to road conditions I have only made it to St. Louis.

Currently just checked into Lumeire Place and will head out to Durant tomm in the AM.

I will not be able to make tomms tournament, so that $365 will be used for another event, an additional bullet to the $365 that has 4 flights, or refunded.

I thought by the time I got out of Ohio the road conditions would have been better...I was wrong..thus the delay...

I did manage to transport my desktop computer, so lots of stuff to post about when I get to Oklahoma.

Tty all soon, gonna go grind some 1/3 then eat some St. Louis ribs.
