THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT

this last week has been one of my biggest achievments since ive been here so you might want to buckle up. ill start with poker because i think pickup might be a little long


to keep it short i made 6k in a week. but to go into details about it i fucking came back from my 6k downswing and not only did i do that im now sitting 1200 up for the month baby! it started last sunday when i had a prety hot day and won 1700 and with a couple ok scores earlier in the month i had a possible chance of only being down like 1k or 2k for the month well the next 3 days i won a little over 300 each day and then hit another 1700 score. now i was close to breaking even for the month and i had about a week left to do it. the next day i hit a 1500 win and today i won 550 and now im sitting with a profit for the month and a smile on my face. the downswing lasted about 3 weeks and if you guys read one of my posts from a couple weeks ago i stated that it seemed like my swings last from 15-25 days so that was about right. also friday i played the biggest pot since ive started playing poker and ill go ahead and go over it

so the villian in this hand is utg. a little info on him is that hes a mid 20s white guy who likes to play big pots and run big bluffs ive played with him a few times before and ive studied his plays and had a pretty solid read on how he likes to play so in this hand i felt like i played the spot well. also he just came to the table about an orbit ago and had 2k in front of him, he recent lost about 500$ in the previous 3 pots and he showed signs of being a little steamed. side note i had a 1k starting stack and he had me covered

utg straddles for 20$, utg+1 calls 20, mp calls 20, button calls 20

now im in the BB with 10 10, and with him straddling and being steamed i had a really good feeling that he was going to raise when it got to him and try and take the dead money. so i was planning on just calling and after he raises than i can repop it and hopefully just take it down right there. if not i have a decent hand and ill be comftorable on most flops that dont have a q k or A. so i call 20$

villan raises to 120$, folds around to me, and i repop it to 400$. and villan calls.

at this point i know im way ahead of his range as he likes to play a lot of speculative hands that he shouldnt and with how every thing played out so far i had played it just how i wanted to.

pot: 900$
flop comes 10 9 7 rainbow

now i know he likes to bluff on a lot of boards especially if theres weakness. there wasnt that much i was affraid of and his range is so wide and weak that i felt if i bet here he would fold. so i checked, he checked

turn: 6 putting a possible flush draw out there.

although a lot of hands are in his range i wasnt affraid of him having an 8 because hes litterally the type of player who could have so many other possible hands besides that. i think if i check here than it will induce him to bluff and than i can shove. i check, he checks

river: 4 off suit

this time i felt like he deffinitley would bluff at it unless he had a lot of showdown value, especially with how passive i was in the hand. i check and he bets 500. since its the river i dont see him calling a raise unless he happend to make a smaller set or possiblly 2 pair so i didnt want to get snaped off by the straight just in case and just called the 500 and he showed 9 6 offsuit. and i scoop a 1900$ pot


a few things happend after that. he said he thaught i was on an over pair, which was a fair assumption but mainly i really should have bet the turn. that was the perfect spot for him to raise me and if i would have bet im pretty certain he would have and i could have got it all in. next was what one of the decent players at the table said to me. he said i was extremely lucky. i agree that i got lucky to flop a set but i read the play perfectly against that opponent and felt i played it well except for that missed bet. so thats my big pot story.

now for pickup which is just as exciting. so saturday i went to a mall and did a couple approaches, 1 ending pretty quikly and then the second one ended pretty decently. i saw the girl walking and i approached her and started a conversation. she ended up being in a hurry cause i guess it was her birthday and she was trying do buy an outfit before she was going out. i was only able to keep the conversation going for like 5 minutes before she really needed to go, so i was able to get her number. although i felt like she would flake because a 5 minute conversation doesnt usually provide that much results with phone numbers. anyway i texted her a few hours later and we got a conversation going. i applied some text techniques and it seemed like she was pretty interested. i told her i wasnt going to be able to text her again till monday and she seemed pretty eager to talk so i think this one might prove worthy. next i went to a mall a little farther away and ran game there for about 6 hours. i probablly did about 10 approaches and got a lot of "i have a boyfriend" which im running into a lot. i did have another short conversation with a girl and was able to get her number as well. i texted her a few hours later too and kept the convo real short. i tried to text her again today but she didnt reply so i think that one might have flaked. so the night time rolled around and i was ready to run some night game and head to this area of night life that i havent been to before. the kid i met when i first got here that would run night game with me hit me up and said he wanted to go out so we met up. we ended up going to a couple pubs just for drinks and didnt really see any opportunities, we than went to this club that weve been to before and finished the night there. so i was chilling at the bar about an hour before closing time and a girl comes up to me and starts talking to me. she was cute about a 7 but she was a little bit thicker but not really fat or anything. i got the vibe that she was basically looking for cock. so i took that vibe to the test and went in for the kiss like 5 minutes after talking to her and we kissed for a little bit. we than went to the dance floor where we got a little dirty and than i pulled her off the floor to talk to her a little more. we talked for about 30 more minutes before i told her that i was leaving. i told her that i had to get up early in the morning so we could either meet up another time or she could go with me to my truck and have some fun.. she went to find her friend to tell her she was leaving. so we headed to my truck and she directed me to a parking spot that over looked seattle and we talked for a bit more. after a while we ended up in the back seat and things started getting hot and heavy... then disaster struck.
we had our clothes off and i dont know what it was about the interaction but i could get hard... fuck. she took it upon herself to remedey the situation and started to give me oral and i quickly got hard. then i put on a condom and was ready to go and BAM! went soft :(
i can honestly say that was the first and only time i have never been able to get it up. i was comfotorable with the situation so it was either i wasnt really that horny. which looking back on it i kinda wasnt, maybe i wasnt as attracted to her as i thaught. which i kinda wasnt, or maybe it was the couple drinks i had, i highly doubt it. either way we were now sitting there in this awkward moment as we both got dressed. now anyone whos been in this situation or a guy that hasnt cummed when he has sex. it makes the girl feel horribly unattractive and i can tell thats exactly how she felt. not to mention how imbarassed i felt. luckily she only lived a few blocks aways from where we parked and it was only a couple minutes of awkward driving. i think this time i wont call this girl lol. so on sunday i actually had a pickup meeting with another guy. we met on the forums last week and he was really new to game and he wanted to come out so we decided on sunday. after waking up and noticing i had glitter on my dick, i took a shower and headed back to the mall. i met up with the guy and he actually turned out to be a pretty cool guy with a really fun personality. we got along well and i ended up doing about 5 approaches in a few hours and i got him to do one approach. we talked about game and other things and we had a pretty fun time. he seemd pretty legit and we decided to go out for some more daygame next weeknd. also this kid i could see myself acutally being friends with outside of pickup so it was pretty cool meeting him.

sooo all in all this week was filled with a lot of first times as well as big acomplishments and fun stories. im pretty excited to end the month on a good note and see what the next week has in store for me. so untill next time cosmonauts, stay tuned :)
