Well its been a few months now since I've been in Shreveport/bossier city. Me and the wife got a house on Barksdale AFB. I purchased the app run good to keep track of my poker profits/losses and have been enjoying the features. I will be keeping track of all my poker from the time I have gotten to Louisiana and will continue.
I took a trip home to Mississippi to play in one of the WSOP circuit events, and play some cash. Thanks to my Aunt I got a free 2 nights in the IP casino (Thursday and Friday). My cousin came and met me at the casino as well as aunt and uncle (haven't seen them in 3 years). We played blackjack and drink the free drinks all night. My cousin hit the bonus for 1300 dollars which was an awesome time.
I made it to the poker table at 11:56 Thursday night after the family left. I played until 3:35 AM getting way to drunk, but having a good time. Won 563 profit playing 1/3 no limit hold em. Next day without enough sleep I played in the 365 buy in 200k guarantee that started at 11:00. I was knocked out before the first break, I had AKss under the gun and check raised ug+1 to 4500 with an 18000 dollar stack, he had me covered. Blinds were 200 and 400. flop was JsQs9h. I bet out 9000 and he went all in, I called. He flipped over JJ and I missed everything on turn and river. My biggest problem with tournaments is I need more patience (sleep wouldn't hurt either). So I went to the pool for a couple of hours had some pina-coladas and then went up to the room for a nap. Woke up and started playing poker at 5:03PM and played till 4:03 am winning a profit of 275. Spent the next day with Parents and sister before heading back to Barksdale.
Will update how poker has been going here in Shreveport/bossier in the next blog. I will ty to continue to post more now that I am getting settled in.

free money in California desert
As I am getting ready for the move to Shreveport, I am trying to get some play time in while I am still in Rosamond, Ca. I was able to get a 3 1/2 hour session in last night. While getting put on the 1-2 list I sat at a 4-8 Omaha 8 high table. I don't generally play Omaha, but will if there is a seat open while I wait for my holdem seat. Lost $22 before moving to 1-2. When I got to 1-2 there were some decent stacks and the table seemed to be having good. I sat to the left of one of the regulars that loves to call anything Pre and continue even if he only hits bottom pair. Everyone else at the table seems like the normal loose calling stations.
1-2 buy in 40-100
First big hand I play is after sitting for about 5 hands. I am in the small blind with a 106 stack. The pot is straddled and 2 MP calls, button calls. I raise to 25 with AhKd. The straddle a loose player and the button that I already mentioned about calling anything and continuing with any pair.
Pot (80) Flop AdJc3d and I lead out with 45 dollars.( Should I have just shoved. I really wanted them to call knowing they couldn't fold the river for the remaining of my stack.) Straddle folds button calls.
Pot (170) Turn Js (and I am thinking that this is definitely Villians card but if he bets I am not folding. There are a lot of hands he could have that doesn't have a J that he is not folding.) So I put my last 36 into the middle and he calls. River is 7c
Villian tables Jh5h and I rebuy for $100 thinking to myself this will be a good night if I can catch some cards.
Very next hand still a little steaming. I have 100 and V has 500
The $4 straddle is on again. UG limps with 4 others. I look down at AKo on the button and raise it up to $30 UG calls everyone else folds. Pot (80) Flop 79Tr and UG donk bets $25. ( I take this as a weak blocking bet and still steaming I am not sure what he could possibly have, but I know I probably have outs even if he hit the Ten.) I shove the rest of my stack in and he folds.
Very next had In the cut off
HiJack limps for 2 and I raise to 9. SB and HJ call Pot (27) Flop 8d7d7h checks to me and I bet 13 and SB calls. Turn (53) 4h SB checks and I bet 15 and get called. River (83) Ac and I bet 20 SB folds
The last hand I want to mention came up later that night and Just make me think these players are playing awful with there short stacks. Stacks: straddle(120) MP(85)B(350)Hero(190)
$4 straddle is on and 4 limps to me in the SB. I look down at KcKs (and think finally my chance) I raise to 31 and get called by Straddle, MP, and B Pot (125) Flop 6s7s3c I move all in for 159 and Straddle insta shoves for his last $89. Button thinks for ever, remember I told you he hates folding any pair. He shows me Q7 and is literally thinking of calling. He finally folds. Turn Jd River 5s (I am thinking wow that 5s completed all the straddles draws, but he says I didn't get there) My KK takes down the pot.
Well made 220 on the night and feeling a little better since I was told by the mechanic it would be 1800 dollars to get my trucks AC and instrument cluster fixed. I am only getting it done, since I will be going across country with the wife and cats. Hopefully I get to study and then go play again next weekend. Not sure I will have time seeing that we are moving first week of August. I can't wait to play poker in Shreveport, and I hope the buy ins are bigger, even though I am not use to that play.

Who I am
I am a military member who loves to play poker. I have decided that I would write about my adventures in life and poker. I will be blogging my poker bankroll and when I win or lose. Right now I live in California, but am PCSing to Shreveport. In Shreveport I plan to build my bankroll to 20,000 dollars over the next 3 years. I do not get to play poker all the time but, I am serious when I play. My bankroll right now is 4,000 dollars. I will continue to play in Cali until I leave.
This is my first writing and not sure on what to say, but we will see how it goes. I will post bankroll and hand history here when I play and when I can. So follow and let me know if you like or do not like my blog. Throw ideas out about what you would to hear about. I am excited about the move and should be there sometime in august. I am a 1-2 player and would like it if anyone has any info on how the games are out in Shreveport.
