What's up kids?
Thought i would throw a post out there after binking a nice $12.2k score in the FT 75k GTD. FT had some decent players and I ended up taking a K up the ass on the river to bust 3rd with AT<KT. Guy who won is really good, Jburleson, but he ran like a combination of every God possible at the FT. Kid is up 2 mill online though, so i can't say much. Anyway it is a big score and I am happy about it. Playing more on FT and Stars cause i can't figure out getting money off merge, if someone wants to help me with that please contact me on skype, would be much appreciated.
That's all for now

Stuff Happened
So basically I went deep in a few tournaments on Tilt the last 3 nights. I haven't cashed a tournament on stars in months so don't even ask me about it. First i spewed like a monkey from 2/12 in the 109 6-max to out in 11th. Got 5th in the turbo Fiddy which was cool I guess, I think I lost a flip but I don't really remember. Then today I went deep in the $216 FTOPs. I was losing and winning flips like nobody's business, and basically it looked like I was going to win a freaking huge flip for a 600k+ stack with QQ v. AK till a K came on the river, so I busted 50th for something that wasn't 250k. Im over it though and ready to ship lots of tournaments. I haven't been playing on Merge since I won the 10k prop bet earlier this week because I am still trying to figure out how to cash stuff out.
It looks like I am going to vegas this summer to grind online basically and buy pieces of my friends as I am only 20 :( but I am def looking forward to it. I am also really pumped about MTTs. Don't really know why, but I just want to load tons of sessions and win lots of money. This actually may be because I recently took a backing deal for my stars and tilt action which I am happy about. Get lots of freedom, so I can just load up tons of good stuff and go nuts for a few hours.
What else? Well it was kinda warm today, which means golf should be starting up soon. Basically that's it.
Peace

Tilt
There is only one thing that puts me on real tilt these days. Yep, internet problems. I was at the FT of a $16 FO on Carbon, and deep in the 70k nightly on Stars, + a few other tournaments. I was 2/7 at the FT and I was just running it over. Anyway, it all crashes. I go into panic mode. Clicking frantically, plugging into the ethernet cable, nothing is working. A wild search for my AT&T card ends 30 minutes after the internet initially crashed, and I plug it in. I find that busted the FT in 4th, and am down to 50k in chips in the 70k. In total it was like around $800 in equity in 30 minutes. I lost every pot in the 70k until I went bust and that was it. I don't mind losing $800 because that is just part of the swings of poker. I mind when something that is supposed to work costs me $800 though because that is something someone can control. My internet company should be on top of that, and I should have my wireless card somewhere I can find it, so the blame is split. I also busted the Razz FTOPs very quickly, and misclicked for a stack after the rebuy period in a $75r so this was probably the most tilting evening of MTTs I have had in a long time.

First Post
Sup Kids,
This is my first blog post. I will answer a few question I know you are asking in your minds. Why are you writing a blog? The answer to that is simple, to become a site pro on some poker network where they will pay me money to play on their site. Next question. Why is it called Something Decent? Because that is the answer you are supposed to give when someone asks you what you have in poker. Example. 5/10 NL. UTG raises to $30, hero is UTG+1 and flats w/ 73hh. His friend is watching and asks, "what do you have?" What does the hero say?
Answer: Hero should say "Something Decent" here between 90% and 95% of the time. The other times he should say, "Dawg this is live, quit asking me that shit." (Can you swear on blogs?)
Question #3 is probably who are you?
Okay so I am a college student/poker player from New Canaan, CT. I go to Trinity College and play on the golf and squash teams. That is basically it. Pokerwise, I play 200nl and MTTs and coach/back for MTTs only. I really haven't figured out what I want to play more, so i just play cash and MTTs at the same time.
Now for some current events:
I am currently involved in 2 prop bets w/ my friend Ben. First is 25k hands of cash this month or i can kiss $1k goodbye. (Ben only has to play 20k cause he is soft, and the other kid in on it, Drew has to play 35k). I consider myself a favorite in this bet, as I have already hit 12k hands of cash, but the bad part is I am stuck a decent chunk of change (~1.4k).
The other is just between Ben and myself. First person to hit 10k in tournament profits on Merge gets $500 from the other. I consider myself an underdog in this as I am not a sicko, and Ben is, but I think I will grind harder, so hopefully that makes up for it.
I can't really think of anything else to write, and the nyquil is kicking in, so I am out for now.
