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.

** 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
Current bankroll: $500
