50k tourney

so Absolute is running a new tourney today, it is the $162/50k guaranteed and i satellited in for $24 in a $6 rebuy so i hope i can make a pretty good run. Also i played the $30/5k today and was down to 300 chips when the blinds were 60/120 after my QQ lost to 34 when he flopped a straight. Anyways i ade the comeback of my life when i just kept doubleing up and eventually was in 20th place for a while. When it got down to 30 pp whith 27 paying i shoved 77 and got called by AK and ended up bubbleing so i was really pissed about that.

Running Bad

So after i moved up to the $44 sngs i just started running so bad. I know most ppl probable think " oh man your just getting out played" but thats not the case. I would be the first to admit it if i was not good enough for that level. The thing is, im running terrible at every level sng, mtt and cash game. I have run KK into AA at least 4 times in the $44 after being CL the whole time and end up getting 4th, when i get AA i lose to A5 on the bubble, as for the tourneys it really hard for me to understand how some of these people even have $50 in their accounts with the plays i have seen in the nightly $50/10k guaranteed tourney. In 1 day i lost in the first 7 hands of the $50 double stacked, $25/6k guaranteed and $50/10k guaranteed. In the two $50 tourneys im dead serious i lost one AA to 57 all in after the flop of A69 turn was an 8 and the other one i lost AA to Q9 on an flop of A58, i bet pot he calls turn is a 10 ibet pot again he calls river is a J.lol it is unbelievable some of the plays i have been seeing. I dropped $500 in less then 4hrs in sngs and tourneys the other day but luckily i got some back after winning a $71 sng for $298. I also ft the $50/10k tourney after being CL the whole way but ran AK into AQ all in pre flop and he hit the Q so i was ss and busted 9th.
on a side note i found a new spreadsheet to track results so i will post a some pics soon.

100k tourney

so i know that i said i was gonna post hourly but i decided not too. It seems like every time i post while in a tourney i end up busting within the next 5 hands. Anyways i did really good in it, it had 602 ppl in it and i got 13th for $1325 which isnt a bad return on my $3.30 investment. I have been playing alot today but mostly sngs. I have played 6 $44 sngs and i have gotten 1 first 1 second and 1 third and 3 fourths ( always to bad beats too). I think im gonna stay playing these and every once in a while move limits. I play 2 $44 sngs at a time but if i feel like doing more i will drop to $22s because i can play 4 of those and because the $33s never fill. Also if i decide to play $71 sngs then i will only play 1 table at a time.

Bankroll
Absolute- $1709( sent my roommate $200)
Bodog- $60 cash/ $17T$

1k to 200k in 60 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So i think im going to try and do this, who thinks it possible???lol J/K
I just found a link to another blog by some guy who plays 10/20-25/50 and he is going to try and do this based on SBRugby aka ABA20 (Brian Townseads) BR managment theory if he had to do this. Pretty much he is starting w 1k and going to play until he has 9 buyins for the next level starting at 100nl and then move up and if he drops down to 8 buyins for the lower level then he will drop back limits ie. 100nl until $1800br then 200nl but if he drops back town to an $800br then he will go back to 100nl. It seems like it could possibly be done but im not sure. He seems like a pretty solid played just from looking at his PT stats and it should be really fun to watch. Anyways I added his link so check it out.

Some live play and a FT

i played some 1/2 at the same place i played at the other day and ended up making like 50 bucks which wasn't bad considering i was stuck like 160 after the first hr. When i got there i don't know why but i just didn't feel comfortable at the table and ended up getting it all in w KK vs AA after the all rag flop. Actually i had $14 left and pushed the next hand w KQs and got 3 callers, the flop came xx6KQ so i was thinking i was good but one guy had pocket 6s. I got $15 from my roommates stack and bought in for another $40 and i was soooo card dead that i just folded down to about $35...the whole time we were playing 10handed which i hate by the way and finally there was enough people to get two tables running. I immediately sat at the other table because even w only having like 15bb i new i was the best one there and it would def be +EV to sit there. I ended up doubling on the first orbit and then i just started picking up blinds and stealing pots and it felt good because i was back in my comfort zone.
I ended up leaving because my roommate went bust again, I have never seen someone on the ass end of variance for so long. I mean I'm not being biased because we are friends, he is pretty good actually but tonight he got AA 5 times and won only twice and the final hand was all in preflop and he was called by 3c8c and flopped and turned an A for trips but ended up losing to running clubs.
I played in the 2:30 tourney on absolute that had 122 ppl in it and i busted 4th for $44 after i pushed on a club draw and ran into AJ after the A high flop. I think i am going to start playing the $20 sngs seeing that im rolled for them now. I played in one today that was just ridiculous.... we were in the money after just 14 hands. I was the only one that didn't even see a flop and i cashed so it was pretty cool. I had 1440 in chips and the other guys had like 3k and 8.5k, I ended up taking first after having some good reads and some hands hold after just 27 hands.

Bankroll
Absolute: $619
Bodog: $57



Also if anyone wants to trade me $475 on Stars or FT i will give you $500 on Absolute or something along the lines of that.

Ups Downs and Slowrolls

So today was on OK day i guess. I didn't make to much money, actually i think i only made $19 after going up and down but it feels good to actually have profit after the day I've had. I did something i didn't think i was going to do again for a long time actually, i put money on Bodog. Actually i wanted to play the Sunday million on Stars this past weekend so i bought a Visa Gift2Go card and it didn't work even after a countless number of people on pocketfives said that they do.
I had downloaded Bodog a long time ago and played there for a while but i didn't really like the interface so left but now that they have some really good tourneys and some really easy satellites i figured id give it a shot. I decided thought that i was going to start from scratch pretty much and do what i used to do when i deposited before i really got the whole concept of the game. I only put on $25 and was going to play the cheap-seats tourney in to the 6 handed satellite for the Sunday 100k guaranteed. Well i saw that they now have $3.50 tournament dollar SnGs so i decided to play those and see what i could do. These are rather fun to play actually since its a 10 person table and it pays 1st: $27 tourney dollars and 2nd/3rd both get their buy ins back. I played 3 at a time to start of and i won the first two and got 2nd in the last one so i was doing pretty good. Then the bug got me and i decided that since Bodog is notorious for soft cash games i decided to play and sit with the rest of my money at 25nl. WELL............... After about 20 min of play i think that i had around $38 and then i got all in preflop with AA to J9soooooooooted and lost to trip jacks which is always good for the last bit of cash i was gonna deposit. I still had $54 in tourney dollars so i was going to play some sngs but realised that that you cant use them for sngs so i am going to have to wait until there is a good tourney tomorrow night.
Now for Absolute.... i had $505.68 to start the day( i remember the change because i hate going below whole #s and had just enough to play a $5.25 HU) and i won the HU sng and then i played a $10 HU sng and lost that. So i was at an even $500 and sat w half a buy in at 100nl and got it up to almost a full buy in after about 45 min...but what kind of blog entry would this be without my daily bad beat for a large sum of money??? I got AA(yes the same hand i busted on Bodog with) in the BB and the guy utg raised to $4 and there was 3 callers and the button re raised to $10, it gets to me and i figure that i need to make it a big raise to make the trash hands fold so i make it $27 to go and it folds to the button. He thinks for a while and then shoves the rest of his/ my stack and i insta call. He flips QQ and i know already that I'm gonna lose because every time i get AA cracked on this site it is always by QQ( remember the hole in my wall) well it bricks all the way to the river and then there it was, a beautiful Q to end my good run at 100nl for the day. It would have been nice to sit with half a buy in and leave with two full buy ins but oh well. I have really been trying to work on my tilt control and know that i am always going to take bad beats and not let them affect me and today was no different. I just closed the table and sat there for a while. Now my roommate on the other hand is/ has been on the ass end of variance for a while now and has already gone through about 4 mice since we first moved in.lol
After the suck out in the cash game i played in a $40 sng and played pretty well for the first couple of rounds. I think when it was 75/150 i made a play at a pot and got called down on it and left myself with 300 chips but i ended up coming in second for $108 so it evened out my day. The guy that i played when it was HU was pretty terrible IMO and was playing pretty much ATC so it was tough to put him on a hand. For example i raised from the button with 1010 and he called me w 24s and flopped trips and rivered a boat but i got away from it cheap because there was a Q on the flop. He ended up beating me when i got it all in on the turn with a set of 6s and he slow rolls me with a straight, keep in mind that i raised preflop 5xBB and C raised the flop and he hit a straight on the turn with 47o.

FT coolers and new "style" for cash games

so i played in the $5 $1k guaranteed tourney and made it to the final table which is pretty good BUT..... AQ is usually second best to AK on an A47flop and i busted 6th for $65. What pisses me of most about busting deep in tourneys is that it is always to someone who should have been out along time ago. There were three people who would just not bust it was ridiculous. The guy who busted me folded his bb when they were 1k/2k and he only had 4k left then pushes 74o from his sb and obv flop of 74x to double and then he doubles a couple of more times when finally he has the CL with 13 to go. The guy who was CL at the time had 150k in chips and second had 98k, well the ss miracle guy (his name was icky734) doubled through him every time and then finally he busted him out in 11th when icky called big stacks all in w A3diamonds and big stack had AA, well AA is never good to running straight flush cards lol. It was icky and some person, im assuming it was a girl because they had a pic of the guy from greys anatomy on it was making horrible plays but obv gave someone a bj to stay in it also. She was giving bad beats worse then the guy at my table and when i busted they were both CLs. Oh well, at least im making it deep consistently and im sure a big win isn't to far from now.
Also i played some .50/1 and i have been trying a new "style" i guess you can call it. I normally love set mining in cash games and limping to trap w strong hands but today i sat w 50 and ended up leaving w $147. The only thing i did different was not limping, if i wanted to play a hand i was raising it 3x-5x depending on my position. I figured that if my hand wasn't good enough to raise with i wasn't going to play it which seemed to work pretty well. Also i gave my roommate $50 more today and he actually didn't lose it all in one session...he is down to $18 but what can i do???lol

Can think of a title

So i dropped a few buy ins at 25nl after the shitty $3r tourney, and quit for a while. I played the $25 $6500 guaranteed tourney a little while ago and i busted 33rd out of 356 and i was really excited because i didn't bubble. I made a kind of dumb play when it got down to 39 and it only payed to 36, I raised from the hijack seat w A9 for about 4bb and had 6bb left and a guy who i had not seen show down to many hands but the ones he was showing were really strong shoved over me. I just couldn't shake the feeling that he had a really strong hand so i had to lay it down, and i was in push fold mode right after because i wasn't paying attention and the blinds went up to 800/1600 the very next hand. I ended up pushing AQs and couldn't hit against a pair of 4s.
Over all for this month so far i am down $35 in tourneys so that doesn't make me to happy especially since when ever i get close to a big score i either screw up or take a bad beat...ie last post. So I'm sitting @200 right now and might multitable cash games right now but I'm not sure.

Doing pretty good

So i played in a live cash game and did pretty well, most people bought in for 100 but i had to lend my roommate some money once we got there so i only bought in for $80. I ended up playing for about 4 hours and made $240. Also when i got home i played in a $20 sng and won it so i was up to about $245 online. I sent my roommate $20 more and and when he lost that i "sold" him $30 online for $20 cash. I played for a while last night and ended @ $240 after bubbleing a $11 sng and a $5 tourney.

Starting over

So i busted in 14th place in the re buy tourney and had i gotten at least 13th i would have at least made $9 but why would KK hold to AQo after a flop of 7102rainbow flop.I raised 4.5x then BB preflop from utg and the SB calls. I shove the flop and get instacalled by AQo and the obv river A sends me to the rail. So i was @ $335 and sent my roommate $20 lost the other $15 and cashed out $200. I left myself w $100 because it is a little more cushion then $50 and if i go on a bad run it i wont go broke. I think I'm going to set aside $48 for .25/.50and only buyin for $24 each time, also set aside $22 for a few sngs and save the other $30 for .10/.25. Hopefully my strategy works lol.
Also i have found some pretty good live games through pokerpal.org. I'm going to play in a 1/2 nl game tonight and it has a lot better rake% then my last regular game plus they are making BBQ so it should be good, also the guy emphasised "fun" so I'm thinking the game should be pretty soft. I also found a pretty good tourney, it is a $25 buy in w $15 re buys for the first hour. Then to make it really fun the blind levels are are 90 min. long so it seems like a good structure since there is usually 45-65ppl I'm told.

Really shitty day so far

I got up to $395 this morning and am currently at $317after winning a $11 sng. I tilted cash games so hard before work and lost about $60 then i bubbled a $20 sng AK to 10 6s. I lost a little more when i got off work too but now im sitting 8/55 in a $5rebuy so hopefully i can FT this...or at least cash because im in for 20 and 18th pays but only $21.43 but hey $1.43 is still profit right.

Day 3

Not a very eventfull day. I played 1 HU sng and got first then i played two 9man $11 sngs, I busted out 4th in the first won and got second in the next won after being CL by a ton and falling asleep w 5 ppl left. I also let my roommate play in two $2.40 sngs and he got a 3rd and a 1st.
Oh and i also played a $2.20 sattelite to the 1.5k guarunteed PLO8 tourney, it had 76 ppl and payed 7 spots...i got 9th which is actually alot better then what i thought i was going to do

Cash Games

So i sat down at .25/.50 and i lost two buyins in about 25 min., well they werent full buyins i only bought in for $20 each time. First one was on the first hand i play im BB w 8 10dd and its checked around flop comes 4h8h10d i check call a $4 bet and the river is a blanks so i lead out for $8, one guy calls other guy shoves and i call after thinking for a while and the first guy calls also. River is a 4s first guy has a busted flush draw and second guy had 84 and hits his boat. I buy in again and about 10 hands later i get AQcc on the button w 4 limpers in front so i make it $3.50 and get two callers flop is A106 i bet, fold call turn 6 i bet he shoves and i call...he has A10.
By now i am really mad an want to just sit at a $2/$4 nl game but decide to sit w $60 at a $100nl table and i accidently hit the post BB button from utg and im dealt AA and make it $4 guy to my left makes it $9 so i reraise again to $24 he shoves andi call. He flips QQ and my AA hold for a nice double. Guy starts talking shit about how the site is rigged and that he was gonna get the money back from me anyways so i gave him the rounders " young man in for a quickie" line and left the table. I was sorta mad though because i wanted to sit w a full buyin and my roommate talked me out of it, had i done that then i would have now had a $400 roll sinc ethe guy still had $40 left behind

Day 2

So i didnt get much playing in tonight. I played 4 full table SnGs and i busted early in the first two, won the third and pushed 39o in the fourth w/ 7 left because my roommate was gonna buy subway. I also played a $5.50 HU and won, oh yeah i sat at a .50/1.00 limit table and played 2 hands. I bought in for for 26 and got AA on the second and won a $13 pot. Over all im only a little bit off pace to reach my goal but im pretty sure it will be fine.

To the person who left the comment on my Day 1 post

Please explain what you mean by regular spelling. Do you mean dont abbreviate words ie. Sng(sit an go) obv(obviously) UTG( under the gun) or do you mean change the color of my text and background. Thanks

Slowrolled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a FT bubble

God damn it pisses me off when someone slow rolls. I was playing in the $5 tourney on Absolute and its down to 14, I'm in 7th and get AJhh in the BB and button raises and i re raise flop comes A10J rainbow so i lead out and he calls turn is a blank so i bet again and he calls river is a 10 and i go all in and he uses all of his time bank and then flips A10.lkjdsfnvsdj;kofjdviojfksdnvc svfsdg
I'm down to 175 in chips and blinds are at 400/800 and I'm allin in SB and double, then i push again next hand and triple, 2 ppl go out at the other table and I'm wondering if I'm about to make the best comeback in history. Blinds raise to 500/1000 and i push again i double once more w 77 and i do this for the next two hand also but ppl fold instead. So i am sitting w @5k and blinds still the same and there is 10 left i get AQ on the button and utg raises min so i push and then i get min raised by SB, utg calls and they check the Ahigh flop to the river 8 when SB bet pot and I'm thinking if he doesn't have AK I'm back in 5th place but instead he turns over 88 for trips on the river and i want to break my fucking computer so bad I'm out in 10, oh yeah not to mention that when i was allin the SS of the tourney pushed on the other table w K10 and gets called by KK......what do you think the flop was **DING DING DING* your prob right AQJ for the nuts. So technically i take two bad beats and one of them I'm not even in the hand for one of them

Day1

So i was pretty much recovering today from the losses i had right after my last post. I had won 13 of 17 $5.50 HU sngs so i decided to move up to the $11 level and it seem slike noone there has any regard for money. I played 7 and lost every one of them to some sort of bad beat. I think of the 7 i played 4 went all in the first hand and the 5th went all in the 3rd hand after calling the bb and i checked w J4 flop came J48 he pushed w/ QQ and obv running 3s to give him higher two pair. I dont know if im not playing agressive enough or what but im playing about as good as i was at the $5.50s. I had some catching up to do so i played in an $11 27 person and $7 18 person SnG and didnt cash in either, but i did pretty well in the $11 9 man SnGs. I played 4 and had 1 win 2 seconds and a 3rd so i made $117 but only $22 was profit but oh well atleast im not in the red.

Today: $22
Bankroll: $322.21

New Challenge

I think that im going to start a challenge today, I am going to try and make $175 by next Sunday which breaks down to $25 a day and seems pretty modest but very attainable so i think it should be easy.

HU and cash games

I have been playing alot of HU sngs today and think i am going to move up to the $10 sngs from now on. I have played 15 today and won 12 but those were still at the $5 level. Also i played some cash today and did pretty well and also cleard a $10 bonus.

Bankroll: $300

well that was quick

not two seconds after i hit the publish button for that last post i had AhKs utg+1, blinds are 1000/2000 and UTG makes it 8k I'm thinking that since he just moved to our table and is in 1st place w/ 124k chips it was just to gain table dominance. I flat call and so does guy on my left, flop: Q58 all spades. UTG checks i raise it to 6k both call, turn is an Ax i have this strong feeling that I'm beat by AQ but i still have the Ks which gives me a possible 9 outs not including a King so i bet 8k and get min raised, if i just call here i only have 13k left so i just push because i cant get away from it and the guy flips rockets w/ the As so i was drawing dead no matter what. Of course though i didn't even realize he had a spade until the 10s came on the river and i jumped only to see the pot move towards him. well atleast its not a bubble but i almost would have rather come 64/63 then 59/63
SMD setup hands

$1 rebuys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So i decided to play in the $1 re buy tourney on Absolute and i had about 9k in chips after getting AA first hand and half the table went all in. I played really good and was around 20th the whole time, then misclicked and called a raise, re-raise and all in w 64o and that was it for my big stack. I then proceeded to re buy and dump the next 5 hand in a row. I ended up being in it for 10 and i had 8000 after the re buys and add ons at the break...CL 80k chips. Well I'm still in the tourney and am sitting 27/ 60. wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday and today

So i didn't play much yesterday i think maybe 30 min cash and i think 5 HU Sngs. I was up like $3 at cash and i think i went 3/2 in my Sngs.
Today i was pretty happy because i rivered a $40 pot w 57s when i limped on the button and the BB raised it to $1.25 and there was 7 callers so i figured what the hell. Flop came 9sKx2s guy bets3 and this time there was only 3 callers so a lot of dead money in the pot i make a very loose call and turn comes a 6H guy bets 4 and there was around 26 in the pot at the time so i figured : 4 to win 26...seems pretty good, then river comes a As which makes me happy knowing that someone wasn't at least calling down also w AsXs and i think any other suited hand would be i the muck already. Guy raises to X amount and i push for 11 more and he starts typing all this shit how he knows i was calling him down w the Ks and some trash, he is saying shit the whole time until his time is up and i show him the 7high flush and proceed with the usual needling when someone talks shit. After that i played some HU Sngs and won 4/5. I think that is all i played since i found a link to a free card runners video by BoostedJ( high stakes cash player on full tilt) and fell asleep watching it around 12:30 and just woke up and its still on.



PS. I love you Laurie.............Happy?
