Not about Me
I have not played cards live since the 21st of March, wow, that might be the longest time I have gone in over three years. Work has just kept me too buys to even think about going to the casino. I am jonesing to play cards but it will have to wait a little longer as I am going on vacation next week and won't be back in town until the 23rd. I am not even going to a place that has live legal card rooms.
That said I told you Aaron left about a week ago to head to Vegas for tournament time. I think he has only played in three events so far, but has logged a lot of live action. He has been playing NL exclusively. Anywhere from $25/50 to 200/400 blind NL. He was an alternate on the GSN High Stakes TV game but did not make it in. They told him that they wanted more tournament players and he was a cash game player. The players did not really want him in the game, they wanted the tournament fishes that don't play cash that often and are uncomfortable at those limits. Makes sense to me, but bad beat for him. Aaron has been up and down. It sounds like he is stuck a bit right now on a few stupid beats he keeps taking in big pots, or just bad match ups of big hands or bad flops against better hands. He is mentioned in the Liz Lieu blog on her 10th update. She can't even spell his name right. She spelled it like a girl. She took him for a big pot in a set over set flop. He flopped a set of 22, she had 88's. Not a bad beat, and frankly I have no idea what he was doing in that pot in the first place, but hey if you are going to flop set over set you are going to go broke. And to top it off she took his money and went out and bought two new purses. OUCH.
Daniel just posted about him in the game with him as well. I think Aaron is the guy he flopped a straight on when Aaron caught the third 8 on the river and then DN looked at his cards and raised $20,000 and Aaron paid off. OUCH. The guy that owns the Cirque de Soleil also owns Aaron right now. He has hit two outers after the flop in two different sessions for pots of over $80,000 both times. Bad beats for tons of money. Tough luck there. You are not going to fade beats like that in those games and come out a winner.
Hope you make a comeback and good luck in the WPT final event. Talk to you in about a week or so. Hope you are all winning. At least I am not losing because I am not playing. That is a sad statement. SJ
