It's been a while since Ive updated. Been kinda busy just doing things...got a new xbox360 and a set of bongos. Before today I only played 3 or so games and didnt have any luck. I played about 8 or so today, took 3rd in a 9man and a 1st in a 18 man. Also played a $3 turbo sat 6 max triple shootout to the sunday million. top 2 paid...ended up taking it down for $215 in T$. So I'm sitting decent right now.
I'm in Ohio for the weekend for the Cavs game so I probably wont play til tomorrow night sometime. My betting bankroll is down to $6.50 or something....waste of $150 but it happens.
I'm just going to include all T$ into the bankroll.
Bankroll: $517.43

It's a new day...
CBB Record: 6-10
down about $60 bucks in 2 days. Just TERRIBLE. I can't get a win if I bought enough points. Not sure whats going on but we might just auto fade my picks and pick the opposite. 10-6 looks better than 6-10.
I lost the $37 free play which blows ass but whatever. My first bet of the day is for the NIT tournament.
Baylor +4 (vs Virginia Tech) $22 to win $20
Got a strong feeling about this one thats why I bet over 20% of my bankroll. I'm looking over the games today/tonight. Hopefully get a solid 4-6 games or so and sweep the board into the sunday.
1130AM UPDATE
heres the update......online blackjack and craps are rigged. I had 90 something this morning, put that bet down, had 71 and change. I now have .16 i think. DOH. So I need Baylor to win..(currenlty 26-10 baylor..6 mins left in first half) Then I need to double up again and again. I hate online casinos, they always get me to play them...bastards. So yea thats where I'm at. Riding on 1 bet. If baylor loses I'm done. If they win i got $42 to work with. SHIT. oh well....
Also, hopefully I'll get to grind some games out today in poker, havent played in a while.
1:04PM UPDATE
Baylor hit! so im back to 42 bucks
Locked all these in for $8.25 to win $7.50 each since Im an idiot and lost 70 at BJ.
Purdue +1
Oklahoma -7
UConn -10.5
Nova -2
Maryland +10

March Madness
March Madness starts today! woo, finally. It's my B-day too, great day. I havent bet on Basketball for atleast 1-2 months. Been laying low and wating for madness to start. I hope I can get on a hot streak to add to the bankroll. I'm such an idiot...I should have requested today and tomorrow off and I would of been able to watch the games and just relax.
Had a weird night last night. Went out and we all ended up meeting some random 50 year old lady. Started BSing and then somehow we got on the subject of cutting her hair for a carton of smokes. She had a pony tail atleast down to the middle of her back. We got the smoke and cut the hair....real weird!!! It's all on video too. Just strange.
anyways back to business, I'm looking at the 12 o'clock games now and like one already.

BYU -3 (playing Texas A&M) (72-66 final)
I'm also looking at Butler +2 vs LSU. But not sure if I want to pull it. The numbers are close on that one, i show butler winning 63-60. So im getting +5 on it. Now sure yet. There are so many games I think I can still make a nice profit if i stay away. I'll probably bet it though
I'm only starting with $150.16 for betting. so i'll track it here.
BYU -3 $16.50 to win $15 (i'm using aggressive money management)
11:32 update
Ok so I got a Free play worth 25% of my deposit, so i have a $37 freeplay to use.
So my bankroll is actually $187
here are my early bets.
BYU -3 (vs TexAM) $16.50 to win $15.00
Butler +1.5 (vs LSU) $16.50 to win $15.00
Memphis/Northridge UNDER 131.5 $11 to win $10
Ok so i might get burned for it but the line moved .5 in Butlers direction. Not sure if thats sharp money or not...I took it hook line and sinker, so lets hope its the sharps. Also butler is like 14-1 as and underdog. so maybe we get a win?
Memphis games have been under last 12 of 13 or something crazy like that, so i'll jump on the wagon with it.
We'll see what happens, If i can find 1 BIG BET a day i'll be able to clear my 5x's on the free play. So i'll just keep doubling it up maybe.
2:32 PM UPDATE
lol, wow perfect 0-3 on the day. so sick.
taking
Northern Iowa +8.5 (vs Purdue) $16.50 to win $15
Got a lot of games left, but i was hoping to not start out 0-3!
4:39pm UPDATE
finally!!! woo.
1-3 record so far today. Got a lot of games tonight, going to start looking at them.
currenlt bankroll is at
$121 +$37 free play..... $158 down $29 hopefully get on a streak tonight to get out of the red.

Slackin
Been slackin the last few days, been busy I guess doing some things. I've been working on getting pokertracker up so I can keep track easier to track instead of by hand. I'm using the free Tourney Manager and it only tracks first 50 SNGs before you have to buy it for $40. Its good but not worth $40. I just have to delete some stuff out and get PT up and I'll be golden.
I really need to get some SNGs done this month, I want to try to be done with the $6.50 level by the end of March. Which is about 360 or so SNGs left in 12 days or whatever is left this month. Thats about 30 SNGs a day. Tonight I'm going to start back up with some 9 man turbos and see how I do. I've been running like crap in them lately. I've been reading some other things online, and I might switcth to 18 and 45-man and put them in the mix. Higher variance but might be more profitable. Maybe just stick to the 18 and 9 man, thats how I managed to get 7th in the leaderboard. So if I go on a heater maybe I can take it down soon.
Nothing else going on, I still have the mullet....need to hold it off till friday for the 2 cartons of smokes. Birthday is tomorrow, should be getting some good stuff. I'll update later tonight after my session, I gotta get stuff organized for March Madness, got a few polls to enter and get some money to the sportsbook. I figure if I can double or triple that during the tournament I will use the money and add it to my current Bankroll. We'll see.

Funny Sunday
So Sunday started out with me going to get a mullet. On Friday a bet was made that if I get a mullet and keep it for 5 days I will get 2 cartons of cigarettes. One from Buck and one from Stan. I'll have pictures posted soon.
At the tables was a bad day. I played 24 SNGs and cashed in only 6. I lost every single game in my first set of 8. A lot of hands that I got sucked out on, and some that I played bad. I'm not too worried. I think if I have another big loss and I'm hovering around 40 or so buy ins I might try to kick it back to 4-6 tables. Also I think tonight I might incorporate 18 man turbos.
$6.50 9 man turbos
Games play: 40
ITM Finishes: 13
Profit: -$39.00
Bankroll: $322.04
Also I made a mistake on the first post....I made $31 even and cashed in 7. I might by tournament manager to keep track of all this.

Starting it up..
Started Day 1 today and only played 16 games. 2 sets of 8 games. Lost a bunch of races and had AA cracked a few time all in preflop. Standard stuff so I'm not too worried about it. The first 8 games I placed in 3 of them. 1st,2nd,3rd, so I profited like $2. Second set I also only placed in 3 with 1 bubble too. 1st, 1st, 2nd. So it wasn't too bad. My SNG game is a little rusty and I know I have made some bad calls and pushes when I shouldnt be. I'll have to review and see where the leaks are and hopefully Monty can help me out too. Got stuff going on today so this will probably be the only games I play today. Can I make $50k in 5k games...I don't think so, but we're sure going to try. I might throw in some 18-man SNGs also, I have been doing decent in those at the $6.50 level.
$6.50-9-man Turbo
Games Played: 16
ITM Finishes: 6
Profit: +$31.64

Goals for 2009
I decided to start this to keep track of my progress. I have set a few goals for 2009 even though its March. I posted this on March 4th on PXF forum.
1) Place top 10 in SNG weekly leaderboard (currenlty top 10 now)
2) Win a SNG weekly leaderboard
3) Final table the 50k TS for SNG leaderboard
4) Build to $5k roll. - I want to get to 10k but I think right now 5k is good. I will re-evauluate later.
5) Play atleast 5 Majors and obviously place in as many as I can.
6) Win atleast 3 Omaha H/L tournaments
7) Win a NL MTT - havent got a chance to do this yet and really hope I can this year.
8) Win PFX monthly SNG league.
I took 7th in the SNG leaderboard on PokerStars last week and will be entered into the monthly $50k Shootout. I think I'll be out of town that weekend so I probably wont play until April.
I want to add another one to the list. I'm taking this off of Monty on PFX. He's going to be playing SNGs and try to make a $100k in a year. I think its very possible and was pretty pumped to start my own thing like this. I think you need to run extremley well to hit 100k in around 5k games. So I'm going to set my goal at $50k in about 5k SNGs. I'm running dual monitors now and can 8 table for the time being. Hopefully get to 10-12 tables. 5k is a low size if I can 10-12 table so hopefully in a years time I can play more than 5k in year. I'm going to be using his guidelines to begin with and maybe change it as it goes on.
This is based on an average of 15% ROI for "lower" buy ins , 10% ROI at mid stakes, and 5-6% at higher stakes.
$6.50T $200 roll 458 games to move up
$16T $640 roll 183 games to move up
$27T $1080 roll 109 games to move up
$38T $1520 roll 154 games to move up
$60T $2400 roll 493 games to move up
$114 $6840 roll 584 games to move up
$225 $13500 roll 293 games to move up
$335 $20100 roll 1057 games to move up
$555 $55500 roll 1637 games to move up
$1100 $110,000 roll Total: 4968 games
this is pretty much 40 buy ins per level. Like I said I'm going for $50k so if I make it to $100k it will be a bonus. With the ROI it is possible to hit these numbers in 5k games but I still think it will be tough because of the variance in these games. Not sure when I'll move down limits but I'll figure it out. Obviously if I have 40 buys in for $27 level and im at the $38 level I will have to move down to the $27. Lets hope that doesnt happen but we'll see. If you average a buy in for $200 and play 5k games and have an ROI of 10% thats $100k. Sounds easy? right.
Right now I have $360.xx not sure what the change is but it doesnt matter. We'll be playing $6.50 turbos. 9 person and 18 person games. I'll also being trying to qualify to bigger tournaments and playing small buy in tournaments trying to follow correct Bankroll management.
