1. This might be true thanks, did feel like I would be right there at least half the time. 2. lol yea probably, I was still tilting and spewing every pot, that tourney was a lost cause =(4. I don't believe in rushes really, but I do think that there is a lot of momentum in the game. Sometimes when things go bad, they go really bad so I just figure to come back another day. Also while I might not blatantly tilt, there is definitely subtle tilt, especially live. Edit: LOL1) On the hand where you had 5-3, you seemed like you were upset that you made the "wrong" call. Results based thinking? Over half your stack was already in the center, and though I have watched you personally grind a short stack better than most internet MTT specialists, I don't think with a live structure (seeing so few hands) you would want to sit there at that point, considering his range.2) It seemed like you were playing with moderately competent opponents, I'd say the guy with the 55's full owned you pretty hard. How would you say the experience was there?3) What is your revelation regarding live poker tournaments?4) Why do you leave immediately after taking a huge loss? I have several friends who do this as well, and I always argue with them about the +/- EV of making such a move. I really don't tilt, so I'm guessing the -EV of you tilting negates the potential +EV of the game? -
I did not think there was a chance. I was wrong....but you did.
ThanksYes the cops are stupid, but you fucked up and it could've ended much worse. Consider it a lesson learned and move on. Good luck. -
It's not worth anything lol, if anything it questions your own manliness; or maybe your wife's for this matter. Also, I wasn't going to say anything else but I will make 2 more points, after this you can think whatever you want I don't care. 1. Maybe if I haven't smoked for a few months, or even a week, I would say my judgment may be impaired because I am high. But when I've been stayin' high for the last 2 weeks it would probably be more weird to be sober.2. I would absolutely never ever drive if I think that there is even the slightest chance of jeopardizing someone else's life. I really did not think it was even possible to doze off a little bit behind the wheel.Oh and I did play some poker, no thoughts on the hands guys?make that 1000xs -

BLAHI hate responding again...I know what happened to me was a huge combination of getting really lucky (no one hurt, getting arrested etc WHICH I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR) and getting really unlucky (didn't have to spin out first place, seatbelt ticket, pulled over 2nd time etc)Also let me make this perfectly clear, me being high and driving is safer then a sober person talking on the phone while driving, I can absolutely promise you this. ...and I wasn't in Alabama, pretty sure it was still Florida, and the deerhunter/deersniper thing was most likely bullshit, some ******* probably just saw me and called the cops. Oh and the mazda comment is kinda rude, my mazda is 100x cooler then your balloon!I think the thing I love most about this story is that in Alabama there are deer hunters right along the freeway. I really love Alabama, driven through it a few times.And had this thread been an obituary about The Stein crashing and killing himself, there would be a lot of: Don't drive loaded cause this is what happens. Maybe you should be thinking of how much you have to lose.And you drive a Mazda?Wanna know how I know you were stoned when you went car shopping? Man up dude. -
LOLI obviously expected some negative responses, probably deservingly so.No, I'm highly doubtful the fact that I was high had anything to do with it.The fact that I hadn't slept in over 24h and thought I could keep driving was really stupid, really didn't think I was as tired....And it was 100% alright for the cops to hold us for over 2 hours with pretty much no probably cause.I'm sure it was also alright to **** with me like that the 2nd time, pull me over for no tag light when I don't think that was the reason, and search me within the next 5 minutes. For those curious about the second time, I didn't have much, just pretty much a nug that I was trying to bring back n show my friend, crumbled it up and threw some in the air vent and spread the shit out did whatever I could. My car may have smelled a littleWe did not go back for it at the time... =)Thanks to the people that are glad I'm OK.Most of ya'll need to stop being so quick to judge, just take it for what its worth.oh yea, **** off jkalib

Not really my thing, but I haven't posted in a while and I figure this experience might be worth sharing for several reasons haha. About 40% Poker Content. The plan was to go to New Orleans last week for the WSOP circuit events probably monday morning. FYI there is a little hobby that I like to take with me when I play poker. So after another suicide sunday, at about 1-2am we decide to pack it up and start leaving. My buddy and I aren't sure if we are gonna make it there the same day or if we'll spend a night somewhere or whatever we just decide to start going (after being awake for 20h+) and see what happens. I live in south Florida. So I roll up my blunts get my shit and we are off. About 5 hours into it driving is starting to get a bit sloppy and my friend wants to pull over and spend the night. I rather just keep going, 'I'm in the zone'. At about 8 or so on I-10 close to Alabama, **** up, drift over too much, not realizing going 90mph, pulling back too fast, car loses control, not sure if we spun or what, but started at the left lane towards the median, ended up over the right lane, into the grass, slid sideways for probably about 300 ft before coming to a sudden stop from the dirt building up on the right side of the car, miss a tree by about 2 feet. We are in shock, but don't seem to be hurt. At this point I have no idea what shape the car is in, it could be totaled or maybe we can just drive out of it, I have no idea. Get out of the car, wave off the people pulling over to see if we are alright, I try to wave em out. My friend has to climb out through the backseat lol, shit everywhere, can't find out our phones etc. The tires look bent on the right side, and I just really want to get the **** out of there before there is a scene or something. We try to push there is no budging it and it won't start. So I take my bag of goodyness, just in case, run into the woods with it, bury it, hustle back. Sure enough a cop shows up, firefighter, ambulance like wtf?? I finally get Triple A on the phone, cop is taking my license, random dudes writing down an accident report, medics ask us if we need to go to the hospital lol, "Thanks, but kinda busy right now!" Trooper and another cop pulls up, AAA is on its way and and most people are clearing, my friend and I are still shaken up a bit. A little while passes and the cops are bunched up and call us over. I get a little sketched out at this point. They say some bs then they are like 'you know honesty is the best policy'. At this point I'm thinking wtfffff, and they ask me what I went and hid in the trees. I don't see anyway anyone could have seen me hide anything so I deny it right away. They pretty much say alright, put us in the back of the police car and go searching the forest. So now we are even more shocked, how could shit happen sooo fast. They come back about 30 min later, let us out of the car and separate us. Cop is talking all kinds of shit to me, talking about he has a deerhunter or deersniper or some shit that saw everything. "You don't believe me do you""Sir I believe you, I don't know what you want me to say""You don't believe I have a deerhunter(?), you want me to bring him over here? I will call the dogs, tell me where it is, lets not do it the hard way""I don't know what to tell you, I just went to take a piss officer, there is nothing"They talk some more shit to my friend, I'm sitting by my car by the woods where most of the cops are and now my friend is sitting by the trooper car closer to the highway. Meanwhile triple A gets here and he starts chatting it up with the police. So about 20 minutes later me and my friend start talking, we have basically said the same thing, he has just told them he doesn't know where I went, assumes to take a piss. Another 20 minutes go by and sure enough K9unit pulls up and out hops some stupid white dog. We are sitting by the triple A truck as the take the dog to bark at my car. Half the cops n tow truck guy still crackin jokes, the other guys go with the dog in the woods and we just start waiting it out. Maybe the only thing I did well was hide the shit, as I ran out there pretty quick and made sure I went far enough so if anyone was watching me I would get out of their view. I lifted a live branch from the ground and stuck it under there deep as I could. 30+ minutes later they come back with the dog and put him back in the car, we are definitely starting to feel relieved. No one has said anything to us in a while and I'm considering pushing them at this point to let us go. The cops seem to be starting to get pissed and once again, most of em go back into the woods again. I just get a sick feeling at this point like they are going to pull this out of nowhere now. 30 minutes later trooper comes back, hands me my license n shit, gives me case number, tells me he can't be held up any longer and the cops will probably let us go soon- thats up to them. Tow truck guy starts to pull my car out, the tires are pretty ****ed and he starts pulling it on its rims (ouch). The cops start walking off tell me "have a nice trip- err rest of trip" gerihteudfgerihuhwe "SURE! No hard feelings!!"Triple A tows us to the nearest town, luckily just had to get the tires fixed (and some minor body damage and mechanical damage my 2007 mazda suffered that I still have yet to take care of) and somehow we are back on the road... Finally get to New Orleans after what seems like forever in the evening, and of course get lost pretty quickly. Come off some highway towards an intersection which seems to be directed by 4 police officers. I'm happy to see em as we could really use some directions right now. My friend has his seatbelt on and starts yelling at me telling me to put mine on. I'm saying who gives a **** but I put it on and we pull up to the cop, who starts yelling at us to pull over. "YOUR PASSENGER NEEDS TO HAVE HIS SEATBELT ON AT ALL TIMES!!" yells the African American Police Officer at me. We just sit there stunned for a second, then we try to protest like what crack is he smoking?? Of course there is no way to dispute this, so somehow I get a ticket for my passenger not wearing a seatbelt. At least he gives us directions and we finally make to Harrahs. I played like 6 of the events and I'm somewhat disappointed with my performance in a couple of em. Other then that I played decent and think I gained more experience live wise then usual. I feel like I may have made a pretty significant revelation concerning live poker tournaments. Event 1- $500 buy in- This one I'm pretty pissed about. Didn't give myself a chance at all, played too fast, not sure if i even won a pot. Then called off my chips thinking, ehh more like hoping he was bluffing, and he had a boat and it was GG that one. Event 2-$500 buy in- pretty uneventfulEven 3- $300 buy in- I started off cold and sat this one back, then won a race to get me a decent stack and chipping up a bit more. This was the evening tourney so blinds were a bit faster. I got moved to somewhat of a loose table, won AK vs A10s shortstack as it was approaching the bubble. I think it was 400/800 or so and i minraised with 53 and middleaged guy called me from button, he was even newer to the table.We took it heads up and flop was 2 5 10, I bet somewhat small and he called. At this point we both had a little more then half our stack left. Turn came an 8 and I checked, he did a good job making his deliberate all in look weak but then he gave me a stare which made me think he was pretty strong so i almost folded. The hands that I could beat I was putting him on included a3/a4/a2 or any 2 face cards. I donkey talked myself into calling this one and his QQ held. GOOD ****ING GAME. Event 4-$1000- I don't remember any big hands from this tournament at all but I was chipping up and down pretty steadily, I think blinds were in level 4 or 5, 200/400/25 and i was close to 8k at this point. Had a guy raise K10 UTG, and I flat called AA (WHICH I DO EVERY TIME), and got it all in on a K 3 4 5 board, but river was a 10 to wrap this one up. Evemt5-$1000- Didn't last too long in this one, probably 2nd or 3rd level, I was playing close to 85% of the pots and some grumpy older people were getting tired of me so there was some back and forths. I had AK and minraised, and buddy re-popped it for like the 3rd time and I immediately stuck it in with AK and he immediately called with 1010 and I lost that one. No regrets. Event 6-$5000- This was the main and I really liked the structure, the others weren't bad either but this one was 10k starting chips with 90 minute levels. Before the antes I was playing over 80% of the hands being really active but things not going much my way. Getting a great feel for my opponents and setting up image and such. Got short early, probably down to 3-4k when blinds were 100/200. One mistake I did make was, I was in the hand with Q9 and the board ended up reading 9 5 2 2 Q and I got checkraised super small by some younger player who probably doesn't play much online on the flop (he was sb I was mp), I checked behind on the turn and picked up a wrong tell at this point. When I checked he made a gesture like he was upset I checked behind, which I read as fake, and he fired about 2500 in the dark and I paid off his 55 . Didn't lose AK vs AK , found a couple more spots to chip up. One hand I had J8s, limped, and a pretty bad older guy came along and flop came 764 with 2 spades and i led for 500 and he made it 1500 or 2000, which was really weird. I really needed to put him on a hand before. We each had about 7k to start the hand. I asked him if he had a set and he didn't feel too comfortable at this point so that was enough for me to call. The turn made it easy, I made the flush and checkraised him from 2500 to all in and he folded. Little later with an ante an older guy (who seems like somewhat of a passive calling station, however he did minraise out of BB with 73o after 2 limpers once (obv he flopped trips)). Button limps as well, SB has about 4500, new guy, thinks a little and ships it in. At this point the old guy who limped goes "ooh that smells like aces" I got QQ in the BB and about 11k total, I try to make my raise look as strong as possible, I thought there was a good chance old guy had AK and I did not want him calling . So it gets back to him and he starts talking like he has Kings, sure enough he ends up folding kings and i hold against 99. WHEWWWSome guy who got up to 20k+ early and is now back down to about 10k opens the pot for 700, he was a nice guy but def seemed a bit tilted, I called in cutoff with 66 to take it heads up. Flop comes 3 4 7 rainbow and he fires 1100, I make a somewhat hesitant call. Pretty certain I got best hand at this point. Turn comes a queen, we check it, river comes an ace he bets 1300 and i fold pretty quickly and he shows A9. Great. Still playing lots of pots but cutting down a little, same guy limps UTG+2, pretty standard for this guy to have 2 face cards or small pp here. I 3x it with AK (first 3x possibly), he calls. We check a flop of 10 3 6, turn comes K with also putting 3 spades out there. He checks, I bet 1700, he thinks and thinks and I'm starting to put him on QJ, he finally looks back at his cards to do the obvious spade check, then calls pretty quick. River comes an offsuit 9 and he bets 2000. BAAAH, I make a crying call, I believe I was playing way too many pots yet folding to enough river bets where I think I had to make this call. He clearly had QJ with the queen of spades. Now this is the last hand before the last break I think. UTG limps, another guy limps and button limps, anyone that could remotely have a hand here i figured was UTG. I have almost 10k with AKs in the SB and like a shovetard I stick it in. BB has Aces and thats that. I'm pretty upset about this shove, I'm obviously aware of how +EV this situation seems, however I really don't think it is, nor is this shove necessary. Oh well...There might be another event I forgot and surely a few key hands I can't remember.I don't usually play cash games as they usually really bore me and I don't play too well especially online, but I decided to log a couple sessions here.I was buying in short to the 10-25 game for a 1000. First time I played I doubled up without showdown after an hour, then i called a 75 raise with 4s and we took the flop 4-5 ways. Flop comes 10 6 4 with 2 clubs, some guy leads for about 200, I call, guy behind me overshoves for almost 1500 and I called, he angrily throws his cards towards the muck as the turn is a club and he happily grabs em and proudly shows em. EL OH EL. I left after this hand as I make sure to leave in cash games whenever I lose a big pot. Another night I sat into the 10-25 game 6 handed. It was a pretty passive table at this point, I got aces twice pretty early and picked up those pots to put me at about 2k. Then the hand got 4 handed, 2 guys in their 40-50s, some guy in his late 20s and I. We played for about an hour or two with a straddle which was fun, although there weren't any big pots, I lost one with TPTK to two pair and then I won one where I raised 53 and flop came 9 5 3, first to act led for about 250, 2nd to act called, and I thought forever before finally raising it to 850 with about 800 behind. Not sure how much I loved this line, they both folded and that was that. The table broke when I was at about 3000 and called it a night.I decided to play one more time before leaving, and was happy I did because the game was really live. A few people were clearly drunk and most others were somewhat tilting. I limped into like the 4th hand with KQ and the flop was 5 ways. Some guy randomly led out for 200 on a k 9 2 flop, I was the only caller. He was clearly the most active at the table, turn came an 8, at this point he realized I was short and finally checked. I tried to act as weak as I could and checked behind. River came Q completing backdoor flushdraw, he checked, I bet 450, and he went all in for the rest BLAAAH i called and he had the 56h for the flush. I decided to be done with NO at this point and go home...Oh yea, I dropped my friend off at the airport before the main event cause he had to go back to work so I was doing the drive back on my own. So wednesday afternoon I start heading back, planning to spend a night in gainesville or orlando with some friends, I'll see as I get closer. About 4-5 hours into I got a roach left and just had a nug with me to begin with. I'm approaching Gville and should get there at about 9 or so. Call up my friend to sign me up for the tournaments as I am less then an hour away. Driving on a 4 lane highway, 3 police cars pretty blatantly are posted on the median trying to catch speeders and whatnot. I'm in the 2nd lane driving speed limit, pass them, all good but obviously keep an eye on them. One pulls out as he almost gets out of my view and he slowly speeds up. I don't think anything of it yet, but he comes over one lane and keeps getting closer. I'm not even 100% if its the cop, but I start to do the best I can with the stuff I got in the car and about 30 seconds later he pulls me over I'm just thinking wtffff for, but should be OK. He comes over to my right, asks for my stuff, gives me a weird look and says i got a broken tag light. My friend calls me cause he is starting to expect me, tell him I'll call him by in a minute. I swear not even 4 minutes go by and 2 more cop cars are making a U turn to pull behind me and I can hear the dog barking in the back of one of them. Before I know it, I'm in the back of the police car again, talking about "random drug trafficking' and the dog n cops are searching my car. So I'm just sitting there, still shocked that this is even happening, and just wait em out. Once again they got all pissed off, lets me out of the car, starts searching his own car where I was just sitting (haha good one), they talk some more bullshit and finally let me gooooo. WHHEWWWMake it to gville about 6 hours later to take down the Wednesday Nightly to put a nice spin on an absolutely ridiculous trip. Left a couple days later and have now finally made it back home, wasn't sure if I was going to lol. Ahhh home sweet home.

Thanks for the rail and all the support guys.I think I like sundays again lolAnd that was a huge heater I got on at the ft of the 200r, I was so out of sync in it all of a sudden, it was great getting cards.
-
Thanks for the rail guysThe chop clearly wasn't the best, but its kind of a big difference between 1st and 2nd, and I felt like I can win hu anyways so at worst I'm losing almost 1k.At this stage HU anything can happen (even when your opp is weak) and I felt like taking less then 15k woulda sucked. I had some cards/luck and made a couple plays at some crucial times and luckily it all worked out.
