Alright heres whats going on in my world. I have $35.74 of my starting bankroll. I have applied for a very good stake at parttimepoker.com the terms are below
$540 stake for $12 9-man turbos(FTP) and $16 9-man turbos (Pokerstars). Thats pretty much it. I'm to run these sngs only for the time being and try to get the bankroll up and consult to move up to higher levels. This will keep me from being a dumbass! I'm really looking forward to this and hope it works out for my staker and I. I will keep everything updated in the blog and on the rail at the site. http://forum.parttimepoker.com/showthread.php?p=6451042&posted=1#post6451042
I have cut a deal with my staker to include 100% rakeback on FTP and add it to the running tally in hopes to run this thing up quicker and then we will split it with the terms agreed. Goodluck me!
Bankroll
FTP: $150
Stars: $150
Reserve: $240
Rackback: $0
Total: $540

quick update
its been a few weeks since i've updated. miniFTOPS has come and gone and i didnt do so well.... i just wanted to shoot an update for anybody that actually reads this...maybe 5 people total. I got some things im working on right now that are going to be great. the bad news is I am almost broke due to poor poor descison making. yes, 1014 to roughly 40 bucks in 2-3 weeks. BLAH! nontheless i have something in the works that should be done today/tomorrow. great news for me to keep me going and keep my stupid ass from going broke again. i'll have details later.
ps i also shipped the 2.20 6max on FTP last week for $149. this keep me hoovering around a decent BR but sunday i fucked up and really lost a bunch of it playing dumb.

With hopes of starting over......
I dont know what really to say. Just want to update whats been going on this month. Last posted was September 1st and its now September 9th. I decided to play some sat's to the WCOOP and got my ass kicked. I made some very bad plays and also had some suck outs that cost me a few seats. I have no one to blame but myself but it still seems my downswing continues. I also played 43 sngs, 35 45 mans and 10 18 mans. I lost a total of $223 in 45 games. GG me.
I had a bankroll of $1041 when I started the month and I have lost over half playing sat's, crapping out in MTTs and getting fucked in SNGs. I'm bascially back to sqaure one and extremley behind. The only thing I'm worried about now is maximizing my profits per month and try to build a nice roll each and every day. In order to do this I have made the executive decsion to move all my funds ($500) to Full Tilt. I get 27% rake back and have had some decent success in the past on the site .
What this means is the 45 man SNGs are going to be pretty low volume from here on out. FTP doesnt offer a bunch of these in the turbo format. I'll be focusing back on when I first started this blog...9-man Turbos SNGs. I'll mix in any and everything within my bankroll and try to get as much volume as possible to get my rake back up.
From now until Sept 20th I will be focusing on satellites to the miniFTOPS. Most of the sattys are within my bankroll so I'll be focusing on them and trying to win as much as possible. Not only to pay for my FTOPS but also pad my bankroll because I can use the T$ for mtt and sngs.
Here is a list of events I plan on playing in the miniFTOPS.
9/12-Saturday
Event 6- 13:00- $55 PLO 6-max --$75k Guarantee
Event 7- 15:00- $11-rebuy NLHE-- $150k Guarantee
9/13- Sunday
Event 8- 13:00- $26 NLHE Knockout 6-max--$100k Guarantee
Event 9- 15:00- $55 NLHE Heads up Shootout--$75k Guarantee
9/15-Tuesday
Event 14- 21:00- $55 HORSE -- $50k Guarantee
Event 15- 21:00- $22 NLHE 6-max Turbo-- $100k Guarantee
9/18- Friday
Event 21- 21:00- $33 Razz -- $25k Guarantee
9/19 Saturday
Event 22- 13:00- $266 NLHE 2-day event--$400k Guarantee **
Event 23- 15:00- $11-rebuy PLO --$50k Guarantee
9/20 Sunday
Event 24- 13:00- $13 Knockout NLHE--$100k Guarantee
Main Event- 17:00- $55 NLHE --$500k Guarantee **
** Events I'm an unsure of playing. Need to have enough monday from qualifers to play
As you can see this is a pretty big schedule with buy-ins that I am not rolled for which is why I need to make some money in the qualifers. I need around $380-$390 and around $680-$700 including the 2 day and main event.
From now until September 20th I'll be focusing on my MTT game. I played a $2 rebuy 6-max on FTP the other day and finished out of the money but I think I still played well. I had a very aggressive image after 1st hour and was playing solid LAG and getting a lot of pots without a showdown.
Bust out hand:
i had about 8.5k and blinds were 300/600 w/ante(cant remember ante). I was on the button with AQo and it was folded to me so I raised about 2.5x to about 1500. The SB repopped it for roughly 2-3k. I knew what my image was at the table because the players had complained about how aggressive I was and someone was goign to bust me because I was an idiot. I think my only option was to fold or 3-bet shove. Calling would have put almost half my chips in and then fold to a shit flop. I figured his range was a small PP maybe 66-77+, AT+ and obv ATs+. I was dominated obviously by AK, AA, KK, QQ. With my image I think reshoving was the best option and try to take a flip because I dont see me getting away from AQ 5 handed(1 guy was sitting out so we were ess. 5 handed). Anyways he called my 3-bet shove with 55. He had about 2k left over and he spiked a 5 on the flop and I was sent to the rail. I think without being results orieneted I played it right and would play it everytime like that. I might post it on some forums and see what the consensous was, I could be a donk!
Anyways, I'm going to prepare for the miniFTOPS by watching some vids and hopefully I can bink a big score. I have a variety of games I'm playing that I think I'm strong in, just need luck on my side.
I'll include my rakeback in the bottom line once I recieve it in my account, which is every week.
Bonus: $98
RakeBack: $0.00

This to shall pass....
Or at least we hope so. August is in the books and it has been frustrating. I'm still currently on a barely break even stretch after 583 games this month. I've seen more idiots try to give me their money than I have ever before. I could list a few dozen hands where I was at least 3-4 to 1 to win hands all in pre flop but they either out flop me or hit runner runner. I think almost every time I would start a session, within the first 5 hands I would get AA or KK and have it cracked by K4 or A8....these people should just transfer money into my account when they play because its disgusting. It's frustrating when you're playing your best but these idiots keep sucking out. I know in the long run who will be on top so fuggit. Heres my stats and graph so you can see how sick of a month it was.
Ah yes! Look at that bull shit. Currently on another $150+ downswing as we speak. I guess this is my first real month I've experienced a lot of variance with the volume I'm putting in and the games I'm playing. This month has taught me a lot about how important it is to have bankroll management. I was playing $6.50/45s and $12/45s and after a few big downswings I moved down to just $6.50/45s and 18s to build back up. So I'm definaatley happy that I havent been on tilt like in the past and blow it all on the cash table or playing limits above my head right now.
I'm starting fresh in September so lets hope we can have a straight line with minimal dips in it this month.
Goals for September
1. $2000 profit
2. Final Table a miniFTOPS event
3. Make Gold Star VIP
Thats about it for that month. I've decided to play miniFTOPS instead of WCOOP events this year. Obviously back in the middle of july I wanted to have a 2k roll to try and qualify but that didnt happen. I'll post a list of def events I'm playing in the next few days. I have about 6-7 I think.
Current Bankroll: $993.26
Bonus: $50
