clarkatroid is not folding

off golfing tomorrow in spain. signing out

from the middle of this month

Unfortunately this aint the post about how to spend 1.7 million.

I went out shortly after my last post. TBH i thought i was going to enjoy wcoop, but i didnt, not in the slightest. The tourney and payout structures meant it was actually -ev for me to play in them. IE  im earning $250 an hour playing cash 2008 year to date. I sepnt countless time and money playing steps satellites to get into the wcoop games in august, then ridiculous hours playing then. They started at 7pm and 930pm, and ran on until around2pm the next day. I went deep in several events, cashed in several, which meant staying up until an average of 8 am during the 1st 3 weeks of this month. it was totally draining doing this night after night, and i simply lost enthusiasm to play any cash.

i was knackered basically. Last month i put in 80k hands, and set a target of 70k hands this month, but i have no chance of achieving this, and in hindsight, this is a mistake. in the last couple days ive got back on track. Im seriously thinking of not playing anymore mtts period, not even the sunday games. i simply dont enjoy them anymore.

ive run brilliant this month when playing cash, and played really well as well. if it wasnt for wcoop, this would probably have been a record month. I reckon wcoop has cost me 20k in time away from the tables

wcoop= break even

cash +$44900 +rake

hands played, a paltry 35k, hours worked on cash =66

Ivealso backed my m8 allinstevie  devs for 10% of the london ept next, hes due a pull, so cmon ireland!!

Current time 2.53 am

tourney - the biggest one i ever been in with a top prize of 1.8 million dorrars

Im 166th /from 800 left. Im posting this for motivational purposes

My next post is about how im going to spend said millions. cmon arrggggghhhhhhh

rather than me prattling on, these were done on monday

part 1



part 2

Sunday night was the wcoop 1KNL with a cheeky top prize of a cool 500k. It started  at 930pm, with 3500 runners breaks at 930 am the next day, and the remaining hopefuls resume battle later on that night. Its a huge comp, im desperate to well in one of these thingys, so im very excited to find myself in the endgame at 9am, sitting with 220k in chips.

Im starting to think that maybe, just maybe, this is the tourney that i might win a life changing lump of moolah.

Dads just got out of bed and is watching, then "eddie the cooler" logs in to take a peep on his way to work. Less than 1 minute later, eddie does what he does best..........cools shit, exactly the same way that William H Macy does in the movie "the cooler".

regardezvous.......

Apologies to mum n dad for the swearing

"Disaster for Adam Clark who really doesn't seem to run particularly well in these events. His final encounter of the night saw him get it all in with  KK versus the of  AA of Victor Kaye on a board K 8 2 4. However, the Poker Gods work in mysterious ways and dealt Adam the cruelest of blows by ordering a third ace to hit the river. Whilst Victor was understandably elated in victory, Adam was stoic as he departed and may be getting home in record time.!"



No shit, 30 mins it took for a journey home that should have been 45. The most boring thing in the world is a poker player bemoaning luck and banging on about bad beats, but fuck it . Im fucking sick of the GUKPTS. Thats the news

im sick of driving all over the country, watching the deck smack every other tom dick n harry in the face , and im still struggling with my crappy starting stack, down to 10bbs, push botting, 10 hours later. Then go out on my first exposed gamble as a massive favorate. The only time i got anywhere near a final table was in newcastle when i made a great call with JJ v pete Lintons A8 off pre flop for the runaway chip lead and i got barmfed by the poker gods.

I wouldnt mind if i got 1 stack, just once, to have a bit of fun, maybe get a little value for my grand, but i havent been over the starting stack in 7 out of 8 ive played this year, so fuck it, im not playing anymore. Ive qualified for blackpool, but no fucking way am i travelling 7 hours to thanet for more of this crap. Its a shame because these tournies are massively +ev but whatever. maybe its my fault, maybe i just suck a fat one at adapting to these this but fuck it.

fuck it. end of rant

i think whilst its unfair to generalise/categorise a particular group of people, ill make an exception with doormen. Characteristics are, in no particular order -

thick - very very thick almost with out exception. 1 brain cell per team
uneducated - 100% likelyhood they were bottom of the class at school
aggressive - Really really enjoy hitting other humans. Wannabe school bully, add 10 years and steroids
poor - they get paid approx the same as mcdonalds staff but never manage to get a 40 hr week in
have a criminal record - of some descrption
own a pitbull terrier - or staffordshire terrier. would certainly dogfight them if they had the brains to organise

apologies to the .001 percent of doormen that dont fit into the above category

As previously posted, i had an exchange with one of these nice chaps  4 weeks ago with predictable results, i ended up in the vic hospital. Today however i had another exchange, on my turf, and yeah i suppose i got a chip on my shoulder, but who wouldnt, whatever.

Now this is petty, but i enjoyed this, its made my day......................

I dont normally chat in chat box, but this particular player caught my eye and previous to the hand the chat went like this

clarkatroid : hey doorman007, you really a doorman?
DOORMAN007 : YEAH
clarkatroid : cool, just wanted to know where the dead money is at
DOORMAN007 : OK TOUGH GUY
clarkatroid : i mean, theres a good chance you aint got the brains to play this game, no offence
(trying to offend obviously)

And guess what, hes limping and calling, and predictably donking around . Now only a doorman, would actually put his profession as his screenname, which i find hilarious, not only this, he tagged 007 on the back of it, and its all in CAPSLOCK , and even better he types everything in in caps lock. So what we got here is a dumb fxxking doorman who fancies himself as james bond splashing around, out of his depth, and victim of a door assault, looking for revenge........

i stop the verbal berating there as i didnt want to exhibit any less class than i had already shown.

Playing kk like this is a doormans way of attempting to be clever methinks, but with retarded hand reading skills he got himself into shit creek without a paddle. Hes lucky he didnt have to count the dots on the cards to figure out his actual holding

What sweet irony, real nice that doormen are contributing  to my compensation claim.

much appreciated
