whoa 1st post

i know i may not have any readers but why not. something to write down some thoughts and ideas and my experiences.

my name is austin van, i am 22 years old and am going to graduate from VCU in a few months. i am 6 feet tall and vietnamese. i love playing basketball, gambling, and just hanging out in general. my life currently revolves around poker, school and the search for the dough.

to start things off i will write about my weekend. my friends derek and alex wanted to go to atlantic city, being the broke joke i am, i obviously asked to borrow money and play. worked out real well in the beginning as i lost $200 in about 15 minutes when my A2 got snapped by 67 on a 345 board. after that played some 3 card poker for about 5 hours. highlight of the night would be getting drunk, meeting orlando and pip playing craps and placing fourth in a tournament. fun times i must say, apart from losing.

one thing did happen at the poker tables that pissed me off, copy and pasted from a forum im on alot.

"
borgata fucked me over a 400bb pot at 2/5 nlhe (friend gave me $500 fwiw)

i had AsKs in CO, UTG raises to 40, i reraise to 250, button calls and he calls, flop is KxTs4s, UTG checks, i bet 400, button calls, UTG calls, turn brings a Qs, UTG shoves for like 250, i call, button folds, but throws his cards on top of mine, and the dealer mucks my cards by accident, the table immediately erupts and the cash game director is called. UTG states that the hand is mucked is he should be awarded the pot because i didn't "protect my hand" everyone at the table calls him a huge dick, douche, etc. but cash game director rules in his favor even though it was the fucking dealers fault "

for those of you reading who dont understand ill give a quick cliffs, i lost alot of money because some idiot threw his cards on top of mine and the dealer put them back in the deck, the guy who i was playing with didnt let me take my bet back and pretty much got free money.


fuck that shit yo. anyways, something else i want to add, when my roommate daniel and i meet with our friend mary jane, i gain this uncanny ability to freestyle, and i do it well, its great, maybe one day i can hop and show you guys what im all about.

going to end my first blog post about working over winter break. when i was 16 years old i started to work for fairfax county park authority working as a front desk guy, 4-5 years later im at the government center working answering phones and shit. because i needed a job, i am now currently working front desk at providence rec center, sucks going from a front desk => manager => headquarters rep => back to front desk, but hey, a nigga needs money amirite. my boy derek is my supervisor and i just found out today not everyone is fond of him, sucks, i should probably tell him this. oh well

quick shout out to my nigga arash for coming up with the blog title, stephen cause im making a blog too and jeanine because she always talks to me about her xanga yet i don't read it :O

until tomorrow, holla back at me
