You must visit.Sox Lover's blog and tell him how great his new banner looks..lol..Thanks Sox..looks terrific!!! Please tease him endlessly on my account! Thanks..
I beat him in a 2 out of 3 Head's Up match today. In fairness to Sox, I was getting wonderful cards in my first match against him. He had me down to less than 500 in chips and I had to really work it to recover. Then the sweetness began. I get QQ. On the flop I make my set. I slow play and check. In the meantime, Sox has made a straight and bets into me. Pure loveliness. Then the golden card hits. Another Q, oh WOW. I am dilerious. And to my surprise, he is still betting into me. I can't stop laughing. When he finally sees what he got himself into it was too late. Now I have the advantage big time. I end up with a flush to take him out.
This was my first match in a 4 person HU battle. In the meantime, BigChief beat WeakPlayer. So now I get to battle BigChief for the first time. He wins. All Hail the Chief..lol..Congrats Chief on your victory!
I also play WeakPlayer a Heads Up match and finally finally win. I was 0 for 5 with him and feeling totally owned. Just not acceptable!!!!
Then I play Jordan finally, who beats me too. And now has a tie record with me. I think it was fate. My own fault of course. We had been discussing bounties for future HU matches and I knew that Jordan wanted a dealer button. So last week when I went to buy a bounty for TramaPoker, I picked up a dealer button, just in case. So last night when Jordan came on, I tell him that I have a dealer button for him if he wins....doh..I don't remember how I busted, I just remember that I had the lead and blew it. Congrats Jordan! Now we are even which is not satisfactory for you I am sure, so we will be meeting again.
So much for my Heads Up lead against bloggers. I am now officially a loooooooooosssser. Ah well. Still great fun. Stats are now up-to-date for your reference. Don't tease me too much.
As for my Sit n Go challenge on Party..losing..losing...I placed in the money 3 time out of 8 games so far but only 3rd place..and bubble a couple of time. I better hit soon or I will wipeout my bank again!!!
The guys had also been playing some MTTs on Stars. Sirfwalgman, Chief, Sox, and WeakPlayer entered a $10 MTT and aggreed to split a percentage if any of them hit. They actually won $4 bucks thanks to Sox who finished 28th out of 1308. Excellent playing Sox.
And the evening ended on another good note when WeakPlayer finished 4th in a the $20 - 180 player MTT on Stars to make a nice $288. Very sweet Weak!!
Wish me good luck guys cause I sure need it and thanks for visiting.
Hasta Luego y Bueno Suerte para usted!

Love Comes and Love Goes
Well the FIRST LOVE welcome Veneno back to Party is over. I have been on up and down swings over the last couple of days, but no more 1st place victories in the $20 SnGs. I have been playing a few more had a couple of 2nd places, a couple of bubbles, and many losses.
I had a great run on Thanksgiving at the bad beat tables. My bankroll was at $160 and what do I do? I played $2/4 limit..and WON!!! A $100 dollars...woo hoo...of course, I think that I have tequilla to thank...hmmm...perhaps I should add this more often..who knows..all I can say is...I was tight..aggressive..and fearless..a very Poisonous combination..lol.
Since then, I have managed to lose most of that and my roll is down to just over $100.
On Poker Stars, I made an attempt to strike by playing in the 180 for $20/2. But as fate would have it, some donkey managed to suckout on me. I was 7th in chips when I got pocket jacks. I raised preflop about 3x, the board was all unders so I bet, then hit my set on the turn. I made a strong raise. Ended up all in with a player who went all in on a flush chase..and he hit..Veneno finishes 27th..grrrrrrrrrr! Only cool thing was meeting Tomfather7, who made the final table..Congrats Tom!
After that, I tried a couple of 4 person Heads Up Sit n Goes...again suckouts..one I had pocket Kings..and the player calls with A rag..not suited..for all in?
Then I finally get the opportunity to play in the Heads Up Tournament with a few hundred players..busted out on the first match.
So with my last $3 and change I play .02/.04 Omaha limit hi/lo figuring that if I can get it up to $5.50, I would play one last 4 person HU Sit n Go. On this table, I was hot..figures..I am hot at the penny tables..haha..anyway..Trauma shows up and ask what I am playing. He wants to know if I wanna play any HU. So I tell him my plan and say, yeah as soon as I hit $5.50 I will join you on a 4 ppl HU game. Rather than wait for that to happen, he transfers me $1.10..lol..woo hoo..Ready for one more round, so we are off to play. I didn't get matched up with him for round one. So second hand, my opponent pushes preflop, I look at my hand, AKo,hmmm, I figure its a race, I am thinking he has low pair or something, I ask my pals on IM, what they think, Trauma answers, he would do it cause he likes to gamble, so I make the call. He in fact does have small pair, 33 to be exact, thats it, the end, all money gone on Stars.
Now for the most humiliating of my poker adventures this weekend. I meet a new person on IM in one of my chats with blogger pals. Weak Player. He is interested in playing HU with me. So over the last few days, we play 5 matches. I lost ALL of these matches. Every single freaking one. Okay, I feel soooo owned. At least he is pretty cool about it. He keeps telling me that it is not enough games to make an evaluation...haha..I think he just wants more of me..lol..In any case, he played all games very well..only one bad beat game. He has just started a new blog. So the least I can do is pimp his blog. You should check it out. I think he will be one to watch. I predict awesome things from this guy. Both in poker and in blogging. Seems to take it all quite seriously. Congrats Weak!
Had lots of fun chatting with the usual cool and entertain bloggers Kipper, Sirfwalgman, GaryC, Davee, ChiefBigToke, TraumaPoker, Fluxer, TrumpJosh, Drizz and newest IM pal Collin.
And in a category of his own, I got to chat with the infamous Doubleas. I enjoyed this very much. While we chatted, I watched him in his $100 Sit n Go on Party. He finished 1st. Made it look quite easy. So he asked if I had taken the Sit n Go challenge. I didn't know what it was so he explained that you play 20 $5 Sit n Goes and see how you end up. I mentioned that I seem to attract suckouts in the $5 games and do better in the higher games. So we modified this plan to be $10 games. So far I bubbled on game #1. But I like this plan for my remaining roll on Party.
I had an excellent Thanksgiving with family. And I appreciate all of the warm wishes and comments from you guys!!! Feeling the love for sure.
Links to blogs are on my blog list. Also..I know, I know..need to update the HU stats..bear with me..sooon Trump..just wait!

Party Loves Me Too
I am sooo happy to be back on Party. Not only do I love the environment, but I am winning again. Which feels really really goooooooooooood! It has been a long dry spell for me. With minor hits here and there but no real progress...and wipeouts of $$ on 3 poker sites.
Inspired by TripJax plan to create your own freeroll into the 40k. I decided to play Sit N Goes on Party again to sponser my MTT play. The only difference being that I started with a $20 SnG yesterday and came in 1st. SWEET!!! $100 payout for a nice $78 dollar profit...so I tried another..and 1st again..woo hoo..that is just what I needed. I did play the 40k, but took a hit early and busted out before the first break. So all in all, I ended with a $136 for the night.
Since that worked out so well, I decided to try it again tonight. I came in 5th on the first try..but the next $20 SnG..1st again..excellent. So another $56 up for today.
Good luck all...

Acorn takes the victory - representing the ROW team
In the 3rd USA vs ROW (Rest of the World) Blogger Event held today, it was Little Acorn who took the victory. This time we played a regular Multi Table Sit N Go, so there were non-bloggers in the mix. Below are the final results of bloggers only:
#2 - Zagga (ROW - LittleAcorn from United Kingdom)
#3 - Yosoyveneno (USA - Veneno from Los Angeles )
#5 - GCox25 (USA - Gary from Oklahoma)

#8 - TripJax (USA - Jason from North Carolina)
#10- Grupper (USA - mystery blogger)
#11- PokerDwarf (USA - Chipper from Colorado)
#12- DeadMeek (USA)
Acorn deserved this victory with his excellent play. Below is the move where he outplayed me and took a big chunk of my chips.

Not sure I would have done anything different here. Was hard to call with the flush and paired board. If I bet more on the flop the result would most like have been the same. Acorn made an excellent move by pushing and I laid down the hand that could have split the pot. Dang!! Nice play Acorn.
Then later he took me out in a race with my AK sooted vs his QQ. See shot below:
This is really sad guys...we are 0 for 3 now!!!! This undefeated status cannot continue.

Craps Here I Come
Lots to write..but no time..
I am off to Las Vegas to play on of my favorite games..CRAPS! I will most likely play some cards too, but that I can do in California.
Online poker update..losing, losing, losing..oh yeah..I been just awful..even my HU play is no good..busted out of Titan, UB, and Stars..so I decided to go back to my true love..PARTY!
Had great fun last night playing with Jordan, GaryC, and Davee. But the best was a SNG with GaryC and Davee on Party. GaryC finished 1st, me 2nd, and Davee 3rd. We sang a little Desperado duet which was very nice.
Lost another HU match a couple of days ago to Davee, and TrumpJosh, went 1 and 1 with Sirf to maintain my lead.
Anyway...Good luck all..laters

Rewards are Sweet
I am just loving my rewards for winning Heads Up Matches against bloggers.
Yesterday when I got home a nice package from TripJax was waiting for me. My girls were excited too helping me open it. I love suprises and while I knew that a reward was coming, I didn't know what was going to be inside. It was perfect. A glass card shaped coaster/card protector with the Queen of Hearts! I love it. And to make it even better, Trip sent a thoughful hand written note. Thanks Trip..you made my day!
I have been checking daily for a Veneno Tribute from Twitch that was due. This morning, I was delighted to see a poem written in my honor on his blog. Be sure to check it out. I really enjoyed it! Thanks Twitch..well worth the victory.
Soon to come..CD from Gary and poker gift from Jordan. Loving it!!!

New Love
As you may know, I have a real fondness for Heads Up games. My newest love is a variation on this game. Poker Stars has a Sit n Go Heads Up format for 4 players. It is available anytime. You play one player if you win then you play another. Beat these 2 and you win. I have been playing the $5.25 which pays $20. Yesterday, I won 3 of these and lost 2, which resulted in a $ profit.
So check this out. If you play 4, below is your profit/loss opportunity:
Win 0/4 = $ -21.00
Win 1/4 = $ -1.00
Win 2/4 = $ 19.00
Win 3/4 = $ 39.00
Win 4/4 = $ 59.00
I think this is a much better value than playing Heads Up straight matches. Playing 4 HU matches straight up for $5.25 would only give you a $19.00 profit compared to the $59.00 profit with this format. And given my track record for HU matches at winning slightly over 50% of the time. This seems like an excellent opportunity for yours truly.
So check it out and let me know how it turns out.
Now for the bad news, I took a blow from TraumaPoker (aka 100-2-Infinity) yesterday. He beat me in two Heads Up matches yesterday. Both excellent games. I am not great on details when I am the losing party..lol..unless it is a suckout or lucky sucker..which is not the case with Trauma. He play solid in both games. I also need to reward him with a poker bounty. Congrats Trauma! Good luck in the last round of the HUC2.
I have added my Heads Up stats to date on the sidebar for your reference.

Next...
My only inkling of success lately has been playing Heads Up. I played Jordan again..and guess who is in the lead at 5 to 4 with him. I have a great time playing with Jordan. I did get lucky with one hand as you can read on his post..but later..the sweetest..was when I made a stone bluff reraise and got him to fold...then showed my hand..lol..I may still be like a kid..but I really enjoy pulling that stuff off.
When I get a chance I can share the whole Veneno vs blogger HU stats. I also beat Twitch 2 out of 3 which was very necessary. That 2 / 0 loss in the HUC has been haunting me for a while. Be watching his blog for a Veneno Tribute. Previously, he was the only blogger who had me OWNED. So it felt gooooood.
But the absolute best part of playing bloggers has been the extra bounty rewards. Gary has finished the CD...I can't wait..and by the way..everyone can send thanks to me because some of you are gonna get this one too...How did that happen? I have to beat him HU for a CD..and you guys just get it for nothing..lol..Jordan has a Card Protector for me..way cool..that will be awesome. TripJax has something..a surprise..but I hear that I am sure to like it. So this has worked out quite nicely.
Tonight I had a new discovery. Sirfwalfman told me that he found a tournament meant just for the Veneno. A $20 HU Tournament on Poker Stars...I missed the events tonight..but..wow..that does sound like a perfect match.
Then Jordan mentioned he was playing a 4 person HU tournament. Interesting I thought. So I tried it out. Didn't quite work out..but I really loved it.
For $5.25 you play your first match..if you win..you play another player..if you win..you get $20. Pretty cool. The first one I played..I beat the first player..piece of cake..the second beat me after 110 hands..(I pushed with the best hand by the way..and lost).
The second match, I won.
The third, I decided to move up to $10 range. I lost...bummer...
So I tried one more in the $10 range, beat player 1, then lost my patience with the second player and busted after 135 hands...ouch!!!!
Still enjoying my matches with bloggers..So if you are looking for a good battle..just look me up!
Lastly, I had a great chat with LittleAcorn the other day and got to see pictures of him, the Mrs, and little Acorn. Too sweet! Thanks again.
All the links for bloggers mentioned are on my list..I am just too lazy tonight to do the nice hyperlink....

I have to beat him HU for a CD..and you guys just get it for nothing..lol..Jordan has a Card Protector for me..way cool..that will be awesome. TripJax has something..a surprise..but I hear that I am sure to like it. So this has worked out quite nicely.
Tonight I had a new discovery. Sirfwalfman told me that he found a tournament meant just for the Veneno. A $20 HU Tournament on Poker Stars...I missed the events tonight..but..wow..that does sound like a perfect match.
Then Jordan mentioned he was playing a 4 person HU tournament. Interesting I thought. So I tried it out. Didn't quite work out..but I really loved it.
For $5.25 you play your first match..if you win..you play another player..if you win..you get $20. Pretty cool. The first one I played..I beat the first player..piece of cake..the second beat me after 110 hands..(I pushed with the best hand by the way..and lost).
The second match, I won.
The third, I decided to move up to $10 range. I lost...bummer...
So I tried one more in the $10 range, beat player 1, then lost my patience with the second player and busted after 135 hands...ouch!!!!
Still enjoying my matches with bloggers..So if you are looking for a good battle..just look me up!
Lastly, I had a great chat with LittleAcorn the other day and got to see pictures of him, the Mrs, and little Acorn. Too sweet! Thanks again.
All the links for bloggers mentioned are on my list..I am just too lazy tonight to do the nice hyperlink....
Good luck all...

TrumpJosh has the Antedote
One of the bloggers that I enjoy taunting is TrumpJosh. I like to give him a hard time and he handles this well. He has the habit of lecturing me on my play. And I like to ignore everything he says..well..sometimes I take his advise. But I rather enjoy ignoring him on purpose because he loves to be right.
I was enjoying the chat on IM with him and Gary, who was playing a Shootout on Party. Gary was having a good run for a while and made it into round 3 opening with pocket AA. He ended up with some profit for his efforts.
While chatting, I started laying the ground work to entice him into a HU match. I made a point of letting Josh know that neither of his 2 HU victories were included in my stats. And specifically that he was the only person whose games didn't count based on Veneno rules. Because his games were limit and a regular cash game..lol..I knew this was gonna make him want to play me HU. And of course that was exactly my intention.
So after a while, Josh asked if I wanted to play Heads Up on UB. I chuckled to myself because this all worked out according to my plan.
Unfortunetly, the plan completely backfired. I lost 3 of the 4 matches. Ouch!!!! Thank goodness no bounties were involved.
It seems that my hot streak for Heads Up is dwindling...
Good luck all...
