FNZ

After a few bad days where I couldnt even crack the money in the 5.50 sit n gos, I came back today. Played all day, hopefully I'll get some sleep at work tonight. Cashed in 5 of 7 sng's with only one first. Took a flyer and played in the 36 + 3 sattelite to the Big sunday tourney which I crapped out in 30th (seats to the top 9). Then decided to end the day with a 4.40 180 man, since I didn't have the time for a big field MTT. Played pretty well, but got handicapped with about 50 to go when I had q2 in the BB, saw the flop for free, hit top pair (not thriled with my kicker), checked around and tripped up on the turn. Thought I'd throw a value bet on the river but like an idiot didn't factor in that with a board of jq8qT that the other guy in the pot might have limped in middle position with AK. Sure enough he did and I lost a lot of chips. Could have went broke, but the guy was nice and didn't raise me on the river. Anywho, treaded water until about 30 left and decided I'd chuck 'em in with a6, got lucky and drew out on AT. Very next hand against the same guy I got AKc and shoved on his mini raise (QQ) tripped up the aces and I was off. Ended up going out third when my AT bumped against the chip leaders KJ. Hit my ace, he turned a straight, gg me. Good day overall, and it feels good to be back.
Heres a couple tourneys that I thought I played well in for your enjoyment including the 180 3rd place today.

We've been away for awhile, but that doesn't mean we're on "pokering". It's been a good month. I'll get the months stats together and post 'em. Zapper took the biggest hit of the month, but I'll let him explain. More to come.

I started poker the second I walked in the door after work yesterday. Played in a few tourneys and didn't do so bad.
Started off with the 180 man 4.00 + .40 SNG and crapped out in 32 when douchebag sucked out on me on the river. Really steamed about this one.

Then finished in the money (a whole buck) in the 1458 man 2.00 +.20 busting out 243 with qq to kq
Ran it right back and played another where I busted out 182 of 927 squarely on the bubble.
Started today off with another run at the 4.40 sng and another Final table and eventual 2nd place finish for a cash of $144.00
I'm gonna hit another up and finish off the day with the 1$ and 2$ MTT's tonight

This guy is the biggest Jerkoff cocksucker in the history of jerkoff cocksuckers. Granted it was in a $1.00 + .50 tourney, but still... what a jackoff. I played in two mtt's today. Went out 542 of 2100 in the 3.00, then played down to the 40's in the $1.00 when this happened (it didn't put me out, but crippled me). Still in the money (enough to buy a pack of smokes) but it almost cost me a laptop, cuz I almost chucked it across the room.

Just finished up with a cash in a 5+.50 45 man SnG
Picked up 28 bucks for 4th. Went into the final table as chip leader, but lost a bit early on when I tripped 10's on the flop bet, got raised, pushed the rest of the short stack, he called and of course, drew out the straight a-10. Then when I was short stack, pushed with those piece of shit 10's again on the button.. Called by the big stacks j4, J on the turn no ten naturally... gg fuzz

Not a good start in the race to a million. Was playing pretty well in this one too for a while. 3500 after first break. Finally picked up KK, which I overplayed a bit, but I think I was influenced by Zapper a bit. He just won a biggun across the way with KK seconds before I picked em up, so I went with the kings must be bulletproof theory.... not so much. Here's the little dove that put me out.

For years Fuzz and Zapper have been playing cards. From the nickel dime quarter days, to the Germany and “the crew” era (shout out to Tommy boy, Nellie, Joe, Zeus, Nate, Snotnose Josh, and ErOk), to now ,where it has become a big part of their everyday life. Through all levels, there have been some big wins , some big losses and everything in between . But there has never been anything that can distinguish who is better between Fuzz and Zapper. it is clear that FNZ are the cream of the crop in the various groups that they play in, but who is better between the two ? Now we get the chance to see. They are starting a quest to see, with similar bankrolls and opportunity, who indeed is the better player. they will track online Multi-Table Tournaments and see who can win a 1000+ man tournament. Also they will see whose bankroll climbs the fastest. Plenty of trash talk, hand histories, bad beats (and bad play I’m sure) along the way should make this a fun blog to follow. Come along for the ride. Comments are welcome.

I have no idea why this is so goddamn funny, but I almost pissed myself the first 10 times I watched it. Arrington had me fucking crying!
