April finished

Pretty wild first week....had some decent scores but slowly followed by running like complete taco bell asshole again. fuck. gay. Building nice stacks and losing a nice pot to some BS call that hits on the river. not that im complaining because i've ran hot this month its just annoying.

I've had some decent success lately in the super turbo KO tournaments on FTP. I finished 11th in the $15 5k gtd....A4s with about 9bbs into AK. and a 9th in the 6.50 super, ran QJ into AQ. just annnnoying. 4.4k for the $15 for 1st , so close.

Also had a nice finish in the new RUSH tournaments....down to 3 I get JJ on the button, boom right into KK gg. I've had a bunch of other semi deep finishes but nothing is materializing. I've been playing both $5 rebuys on stars and ftp and pretty sure I need to settle down. I'm putting $50+ in each almost every other night. maybe i shouldnt be opening shoving AQ during rebuy hour? just need some more control i find myself tilting and just shoving with bullshit to try and double up and usually in for 6 buy ins and then bust half way thru the 2nd hour.

had a nice run in the $22 6-max on stars...we had about 20 or left and i was sitting 3rd in chips with about 90k. Lost a big pot when some douchebag called a 12bb 3 bet with A3 and I had AK...flop AA3. doubled up. lost chips. had KQs on the button, raise...weak 3 bet from BB, i re shove he calls with 78o..hits 8....i ended up getting some chips back but that was about 125k in chips that 2 fucking idiots had. i got to the final table and was a little short....dude raised, i 3 bet my 27bb stack with 55 and he shoved over top....called...aj....a on flop gg 6th place. choke city.





Also i played an FTOPS last night, the $109 Stud Hi/Lo. very weak field and i'm kinda pissed i didnt do better. i built a nice stack the first 3.5 hours and then donked away on a draw...112 paid i was out 153. i was short but had enough chips to get away from the hand when he paired his K with another K. blahhh pissed me off.

the team comp is going alright...up and down from 2nd to 6th and in between. still waiting on the updated info because some of my scores havent been added. SCOOP starts sunday so hopefully we ship one of them? one time?


April was pretty solid. My best my by far. Had some nice cashes and even won a tournament. oh oh been getting pretty decent at heads up too. I've made the final 2 tables a couple times but just havent ran too good and have my hand hold up. Going to watch some more videos to get my middle/end game sharp, seems to be slacking, building sicko deep stacks and spewing them all over the fucking place, somethign isnt right. Maybe unlucky but that can only take you so far. always need to improve.

anyways...from what sharkscope is saying..witout sattys...i played 374 MTTs and and 112 SNGs(losing about $120 on sngs)



April goal was for 150 mtts and 300 sng/mtts. looks like we reversed it....i cant get enough of these MTTs anymore so my whole focus has been on them. esp with this competition my motivation factor is pretty high right now. now if i can ship me a scoop or miniftops that would be great.

Event 1 and 2 for SCOOP start sunday..$22 6max and $22 2-day event. GL.

1st weekend complete

Pretty solid weekend for the 1st few days of the competition. I played 1/2 day on Friday and pretty full 2 days Saturday/Sunday. Played a total of 77 for a profit of $1050.

Sunday was pretty decent in the beginning, I made a pretty deep run in the $8.80 rebuy....$10k first place....sooooo sick...I was top in chips for a while with about 50ish left. Def still a little spewy in spots ended up busting out K9 in the SB ...3 bet shoved a pretty solid player who min raised UTG for about the 3rd time...obv had AK gg me in 24th. Got whipped in the $26s on FTP....was in the money in the one with about 50 something left....had 12-13bbs...JJ all in vs A7...gg me. woudl have put me in good shape with a workable stack and a pretty soft table. had a nice stack in the $3 rebuy on FTP too but kinda just took a shit with 19ish left...cant even remember the hand but nothing really there...$3.4k for first there blahhhh. I spewed a few stacks and got unlucky in some spots, not the greatest sunday...but profit for the weekend over is good. Still cant get over the 3kish mark for the bankroll....soooooon though. big score coming up..scoop and miniftops soon.

heres the updated standings as of this morning. still realllllly early.




Team Fly44 is us...currently sitting in 11th..not sure if the results from last nights late mtts are in there but i know Illini just shipped with $150 rebuy on tilt and some other high stakes regs had some sick scores so we'll see. Our team has some solid runs so far too.

this is the low tier standings...pretty solid low tier people, johnny is killin the Rush poker tournaments right now and getting a lot of points. might have to try more of them.



heres my qualifying points



and finally, total weekend tally..runnin hot? yaaa



Probably play a bit tonight...most of the regular stuff on tilt and probably some turbos and other tournys on stars..hopefully final table some shit.

MTT Competition startin

The competition started on Friday. I got a pretty solid team

High Stakes:
szusza84
7Delux

Med Stakes:
fly44
dapretzel

then me for Low Stakes. Had a decent day friday..took 4th in $11 heads up tournament for $77. And final tabled the $2 turbo rebuy but ended up busting out 9th.

I played a pretty full schedule today and had a lot of chips in a lot of tournaments. I final tabled the $2 rebuy 6max and ended up taking 2nd for $330ish.




I had a few semi decent runs in the $26s but nothing was holdin that well. Min cashed in a few other things. I played some on poker stars too and finally ran pretty good. I got screwed for a big pot in the $5 2r1A...in the BB had 54 and 2 limpers....flop came k45 and i led out and this idiot who was all over the place raised, so i shipped it...he had KJ ...turn K river J. gg ...150k pot which would have put me around 60-70BBs and we were about 300ish left. So gay....i was also semi deep in the 5.50 6max but min cashed in that. the last tournament i had up was 8.80 12k gtd on stars. and finally stars loved me for a little bit. I was at the final table 2/8 with decent stack. It was a pretty shallow final table with no real huge stacks as it went on. I lost some decent sized pots with some coin flips and such but ended up getting it in with jj to kk..out in 4th. still a nice run. 3 final tables in 2 days not bad...now i need to run deep in some other big ones and get some points.





www.bluffcatch.com does the scoring its updated on there not sure how often but its pretty current. Still only 2 days in and there are some nice scores for some teams.

Started up a little session last night to plug some leaks for the Team Comp that is coming up. Didn't end up working out to well. I ran open a few 8.80s and had 0 luck. Ran my AQ into AQ...ran my AA into KK and TT..K on flop..gg. Can't seem to run too deep in them anymore but they are terribly weak so it'll come.

I played the $75 40k also and had the biggest fish at the table just wanting to give me chips. I got out played with trip kings to a boat and was down to about 2k semi early. I latered doubled up off the said donkey with KK and was up to 4k. I got Aces on the CO and raise(donk was in the SB) he called...flop was 887. The shit he was showing down I was certainly going broke at the table with AA....he checked and I bet and he min raised so I called. The turn was a 6, I cant remember if he bet or checked but we got it all in on the turn for about 6k pot total....he flipped 67s for lower 2 pair....BINK 6 on the river...back down to 1700ish. Don't even remember the bust out hand I think AQ into QQ gg me.

I played some rush tournaments sngs and got semi deep...they start with 135 people and pay top 15...I think I busted around 30th in 2 of them and just tanked the rest. So i had the $5.50 6-max $12k gtd rebuy up with a pretty decent stack in the money.

My table was extremley weak and I waited around for the donk to give me his 40k in chips....he did so when I raised QQ into his BB and he reshipped with 55....put me up nicely. We entered the money and there were about 45ish left or so and i had a 90k or so stack. Only about 2 of the 5 other players were decent.

The one stack to my left had semi good stats and was playing fairly well. He was raising a lot when I was in the BB and I decided after the 3rd time to 3 bet him OOP with Q9o...he over shipped and I folded. I took a few more pots from some other donks and then go involved in this hand.

Not sure why it wont embed, kinda gay but anyways.....this is terrible from the start and why we review hands!


Like I said before this is probably the only guy at the table that has been semi active other than me and probably has any idea of how to play pretty good. So after getting crushed to his 4 bet all in previously I decided to take the pussy approach out of postiion with AJo. 45bbs and I dont 3 bet OOP??????

So lets take this into account.....I 3 bet and he 4 bets...what do you do? I think its safe to fold...yes it might be tight but I've been trying to not play out of position a lot lately just because I blow stacks like crazy because my post flop skillz SUCK.

Lets take a look at the lines we could have taken preflop here.....his stando raise was right around this area....I've seen him min raise with ATs UTG and have seen him pop it up about 2.2-2.4x when coming in for a raise.

Option A) Flat call, re evaulate the flop. When the flop came out and Ace showed, I should have taken the first line and bet into him...and heres why. i dont have the hand history but I believe it was a 3 way pot with villian and the other guy who had 1 decent run in the double deuece. I called with SB with a hand and played post....I led out and they both folded. I think if I led out here a 2nd time he can re pop me with some draws or on just air. I'm not sure he's capable player of doing this with air, but if he would have re popped me I would have shoved in his face and hopped he showed me AT/9 etc etc...if he had AK then gg me...sorry about my luck.

Option B) This is the line i take almost 93382834% of the time....its called 3-betting and taking the aggressive approach pre flop...yes out of position but like I said before I have no problem getting rid of AJo oop with 45 bbs to start the hand..I can def use my position later in the tournament and kill these people.

I've been perplexed on how to 3-bet out of position without over bloating the pot...being that we were both pretty deep 3-betting may have been out just because...why play a bloated pot and lose 15-20bbs when you dont hit and are first to act? ehhh i dunnoo.....anyways what i SHOULD have done was 3-bet 7.5-8bbs....somewhere around 14-15k....I think he folds here more often than not...if i had around 30bb stack then I am def getting this bloated to about 9-11bbs pre and shoving any flop if he calls pre. Thats just how I'm playing this hand.


So we took the lesser line and obv just called....flop comes down PERFECT...should be doing fist pumps and all the like but nooooo.....the problem with this hand is I wasnt thinking. I was thinking at all what my plan of attack was when the flop came down. If I have top pair do, should I check call? should I check raise and take the pot right there? ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN.

Dude bets half the pot...6k into just over 12.. sldkjfl;askfjaskljflaskf omg easy???? give me the pot???? whats he betting half the pot on an AKx 2 suite board besides some kind of DRAW? wow bad read me......this is where I needed to have a plan and check raise it to about 20k or so....if he's value betting a set or AK here then again I guess I'm going broke? 6 handed table...coolered if so..whatever , thats how I'd play it. But elect to pussy call...and boom T spikes....he bets 16.5k and I re ship 85k!?!?!?!!? what the hell? I sat there and said this has to be some kind of draw and it hits and I do that?! obviously he has QJ and spiked his 11 to 1 and got this donkey to stack off 45bbs with top pair. blahhhhh.

Just a 3 bet pre or a lead on the flop could have avoided this and we could have had over 100k stack with about 45ish left or so and $2400 up for grabs. Live and learn though....gotta remember to have a plan for each betting round and each hand your in. Don't be scared to change your plan either...when someone bets half the pot like that and its uncharacteristic stick with your READ....bump it up and get him to fold that weak weak weak play.


Today is 4/20 woo woo.....pens plays tonight and I'll probably fire up some more MTTs. I'm getting absolutley destroyed on PokerStars still...I hope this doesnt continue once the SCOOP starts...need to run hot hot hot for the competition....the draft for that is tomorrow so we'll see whos on my team. If I can stop blowing nice chip stakes I might have a shot at a nice time and a nice win here and there. Hopefully we'll ship something tonight....talk to ya.

Long sesh....breakeven :(

FTP introduced the Rush poker tournaments which are pretty sweet. Still trying to figure out a good strat for them. Lot of players..they go quick and its like $2-3k for first in the tournaments $11 and up...pretty sick. Just need to run sicker. So my teeth werent hurtin too bad so I woke up around Nooner on Saturday and go grinding.

I was running TERRIBLE the whole day. I played mostly on FTP and a bit on Stars and just couldnt get anything going. Had a nice few runs later in the day. I was gonna stop aroudn 6-7pm but for some reason I couldnt. I knew if I kept playing how I was it was time to bink something or just play this stupid variance out and hopefully have a better week. So I took a 15 min break around 8:45 and decided to start a nice session at 9pm. Also the 11pm $26 6max KO was coming up which is one of my favorite tournaments right now. So I think I did a solid reg from 12 noon to about 1am in the morning. The last tournament being the $26 18k GTD.

I was down to my last 2 tournaments an $8.80 180 and the 18k gtd....ended up busting out of the 8.80 in 21st place, couldnt really remember what happened.

The 18k fell short of meeting the GTD which was decent. I was in the zone really paying attention to spots that I could pick up some chips. I had a stack around 14-25bbs when we were down to about 3-4 tables. I picked some good spots...one some key flips....ATs into 88...hit runner runner flush (ty about time). Ended up getting to the final table I think 2/9 or something. A lot of players were decent players but losing overall. I was only worried about 1 guy and obivously he was seated directly to my left with around the same stack as me. I let the donks kill each other and we were down to 6th and I was still in 2nd with about 425k, CL has about 500-600k or so.

Heres how you DO NOT play at the final table with big stacks...which for some reason I LOVE to tango with them and they bust me 99.9% of the time.


Set up:

blinds 8k/16k + antes.....6th stack has 40k....yes 40k....2BBS!!!!!!!!!! wtffff.....anyways...im on the button....good guy is in SB chip leader in BB...i get 66...raise it up about 2.4 to about 36-38k or something....BB 3 bets to about 74k...ding ding ding ding...he's not so good and raising good hands here...even if he wasnt this is call/fold on flop...or just fold it right there. I've played 3349320343 sngs and know ICM pretty well..and what do i do....RESHIP! 66 right into KK...dohhhh...busted 6th for $810. 1st pays $4320 :(

19.5 hour day at breakeven...dammit. Pretty much longest session I've pulled so far. This is going to be the norm I think once the competetion starts on P5's... I only have 23 days to ship as many tournaments as possible. So volume is going to be key because the big boys are going to be killing it so hopefully I can have some kind of edge against the Low Tier grinders. I think right now there is about 50-60 people signed up for all 3 tiers. Draft starts Wednesday so we'll see who I get on my team.

Going to try to play almost everyday this week with 1 or 2 days break and then hit it hard on the weekends. Decent April so far....my best month since I've started this blog and since I've started poker...so either A) I'm getting lucky or B) I just might be getting a little better?!




this SS makes me want to cry. Final Table NOOOOB. No worries.


Besides destorying SCOOP and MiniFTOPS 1 of my main goals during the week is to final table the $75 40k that runs at nightly at 6 or 630pm. Not only final table but also ship it. So yes I'm calling my shot, but April 30th I will be the winner of the 40k GTD. :)


Bankroll is around 2700-2800 plus an additonal $250 coming from some stupid fucker from Norway who rolled me about 1-2 months ago....I'm recieving that money back via Part Time Poker Mods because they run a great site. Thanks for that too guys.



I made a dummy schedule for miniftops too so i'll be posting that ..its gonna be a crazy may!

Weekend Lessons

Well I got my wisdom teeth out Friday and was pretty out of it til around 4-5pm. Came home and play some cards while watching the pens do some work against the Sens. Had some real sweet ass min cashes. Still running like compelete asshole and getting pretty sick about it. Had about 24 left in the $75 40k gtd and oh hey AA on the button. EP raises bumps it up to 2.5x, guy behind him smooth calls and its folded to me. I decided to go ahead and re raise it and make it look like a stando squeeze which turns out to be what mr #2 caller wanted and he shoved...he had QQ. so about 3820% to ship this for a sick stack with 24 to go and $10k first place monies but oh wait its the double deuce all over again...Q! on the river. weeeeeeeeeeee..ended up busting later running AT into AK obv for 21st. The night before I also had another deep run in it but couldnt tell you what happened. Been some many crazy suck outs I cant keep track.

Today I started around nooner....still going strong, got about 4 left. had a few semi deep runs that ended in bad beats or stupid fucking plays because im pissed off. I havent had a cig since thrusday night! fuckkkkkk it blows!!!

But all this play today leads me to what I want to talk about...STOP SPEWING CHIPS WITH 20-25BBs+ YOU FUCKING IDIOT. Just know in the 28k gtd i had about 15k at 300/600 plus antes. about 30 from the money sitting right in the middle of the pack with about 160ish left (135 paid) Been pretty active stealing some blinds and so forth and I get QJs utg+1. Did the ole min raise to 1200 and BB re popped to 3900. Now like any good player would they would fold...no i re ship he has AA gg me. Lesson learned 1.

Lesson 2: Just because 83 people limp doesnt mean you should push 18-25BBs with a not so cool hand...esp semi deep! dont have to explain much there just stop being a fucking idiot.

When you want to play LAG you have to have some kind of control...yes its nice to win every pot...or its nice to TRY and win every pot but its not going to happen. The edge you have against these pussy as opponents is so much greater than to try and win every pot when you KNOW he isnt folding middle pair. I'm stuck about $1200 this week if not more which I guess I cant really complain having 2 good sundays in a row for $3500. It just hurts when youre deep for a lot of money and an 80% fav but you lose on the river. As its always said, the good players are the ones who can play their best while they are losing. I've been about 70-75% accurate on that. More patients when deep, when its in good dont fucking cry about it like a baby because you lost...you WANT them to do that! thats what makes you money. I'm rambling right now so I'll stop.


Here is what I have left to close the night

FTP:
$26 18k GTD NHLE: 6.6k 12/691 (just started at 1am)
$8.80 180-man: 5.5k 5/121 (started at 12:49am)
$15 5k GTD Super Turbo KO (starts at 1:35am)

Pokerstars:
$33 1.5k GTD HORSE: 1/58 (started at 12:45am)


That's it right now, hopefully recover some of my loses...I wont be able to play much tomorrow...maybe a small nightly schedule but the Pens play at 630 so maybe 5 or so tournaments, we'll see.

Not sure if any of this made sense but this is just stupid shit that I'm doing and its not helping with running bad...makes me run worse. So hopefully I can close out strong and get a final table or 2 or 4. glglglglglglglgl

oh hi derrrr

So last week was absolute shit. Was down about $800ish on the week after my Sunday win, I played well but just wasnt winning flips (still dont think i have won a coin flip since I swapped some money on stars) and making it deep in anything. I threw over about 5 hundo on stars....did shitty in the sngs..played a decent MTT schedule on Saturday and got crushhhhhed. I had about $27 left and decided to play the $5 PLOHL rebuy....busted for like $42 or something. Disappointing. That was the only tournament I played on Sunday at stars. everything else was on FTP.

Played about 12 MTTs on Stars for about 3 min cashes and 37 on FTP this week for about 5-6 cashes. Along with grinding some SNGs early in the week , raped on stars, so so on FTP.

I started late again on sunday around 2pm and started registering for some all the regular gtd shit and so forth....was getting semi deep but nothing crazy deep. I had a nice stack in the $26 33k gtd KO tournament...but was very spewy with my stack and eventually lost 77 to AK all in pre. Would have put me around 63k i think with decent time left.

I ran semi deep in the huge $1 rebuy 10k GTD....my stack was up and down and all around and it was a pretty easy tournament obvious....8k+ people and go down about 170ish and busted shortly around that area..i dont remember the hand though. All I had left at the time was the $22 200k Double Deuce and the $11 KO that I won last week.

I had a great 50bb stack in the double deuce pretty deep but went pretty card dead and couldnt really do anything with my awkward stack. I was blinded down to about 14-15bbs and had AQo UTG...shipped it all in and got called by SB with JJ....couldnt fade it and i was out for about $100. still a solid run but would have been nice to get to the final table after that QQ shit.

I ended up Final tabling the same $11 KO tournament from last week...entered it 1/9 after a nice pot right after the break....woke up with KK...222k stack pushed i reshoved, he had A8 and I held...had about 750k-800k at the start of the final table. The only thing i didnt like was everyone was around 8-20ish BBs so it was tough to kind of take control of the table. Really had to time everything to keep accumulating chips. I played this one more like I would a 45 man SNG final table...kinda kept tight and waited for everyone to busto. I made it down to heads up with the only guy at the table that was solid....he took a big pot3 handed and had about 2.6 mill to my 800kish....i shipped QTo with 15bbs heads up and he had A8..board ran out and I finished 2nd for $1257. still a sick run on another sunday...and it was the same tourney...crrazzy. So I guess I'm not running that bad right?





After being down about 1k-1.1kish for the week (including sunday buy-ins) This put me at about +300ish for the week. I'll take it considering how it started off. Going to have to get some more cash on stars to play the 18s/45s. Got about 3 weeks till the SCOOP starts and I"ll probably be joining a contest for end of april/all of may.

http://www.pocketfives.com/poker-forums/7/ftops-miniftops-scoop-team-plb-interest-list-5386993

I still have to decide if I want to do the Low Tier or the Med Tier. I'm going to be playing some things over $33 but does the extra $150 in buy in fee make it worth it? I dont play many over that level since right now I'm rolled for $26s solid and occasional shots at $55s and up. I still got a week or two to see whats up so I'll let the bankroll decided....I guess if I can be at about $4k+ by the time SCOOP stars I'll just join the Med Tier

Bascially this is a team comp so I get drafted and have the chance of being on a sick high stakes mtt grinder. I'm sure all the big boys will be out so we'll see how well i fare against the best of the best.



dont talk about it blog about it.....

April April April

So I was grinding some MTTs last night , few on stars, few on ftp...running like complete asshole though. so i ran some 45s too, played i think 5 and shipped 1 $12 to recover some of the loss. I'm just not running up to par but playing good so thats all that matters. I havent posted any goals in a while and I was going over a recent post on Part Time Poker forum I posted on March 31st for april:

-min of 150 MTTs ---Only got about 33 right now
-min of 300 MTTSNGS (18s/45s/90s/180s) ---91 of these combined...also I'm adding 90 mans
-win atleast 2 MTTs (any game)---1 down 1 to go!!!!!!
-dont want to be greedy so atleast 1-2 4 figure scores...and obv 1 5 figure would be nice---1 4 figure down 1 to go, 1 5 figure to go(this weekend???)
-work on my MTT game and keep plugging away
-atleast $1k profit for the month(set low aim high)-- def about that but we got a LONGGGGG month ahead


Thats pretty much its for now, we will see how it turns out for the rest of the month. Gonna be playing a full schedule this weekend and get as much as I can in...got mtts on Stars and FTP now so our options are def good.

Event2: $215 NLHE 6-max 2-day - $2 million GTD
Event 4: $162 NLHE Heads up - $250k GTD
Event 14: $530 Limit Omaha H/L - $150k GTD
Event 18: $22 Limit Holdem Turbo - $250k GTD (not sure on this one because its limit)
Event 20: $215 NLHE 2-Day - $2 million GTD
Event 33: $215 NLOHL - $100k GTD
Event 35: $270 NLHE Heads up 2-Day - $250k GTD
Event 35: $2600 NLHE Heads up 2-Day - $500k GTD (satellite only)
Event 37: $215 NLHE- $750k GTD

This is another $2k in buy ins(minus the $2600, 4kish with that). I'm going to try and satty into a lot of these and/or direct buy in to a few pending on my bankroll at the time. Really lookin at the $215 2 day events and the $530 omaha hi lo anddddd the $162 Heads up play. Pretty hefty schedule so hopefully get my first 5-figure or event 6-figure score?! one time? please?

FTOPS is coming up at the end of the month. I havent really looked at the schedule but I'll probaby try to satty into an event or two....then after that right when SCOOP stars the miniFTOPS will start...so 2 big tournament series that I can actually play going on at almost the same time, niceeeee.


Started grinding MTT/SNGs on FTP and stars....had a decent first day, took 2nd in a $26 90 man. But yesterday was shitty....I played $16 and $27 18-mans on Stars and dropped every single one of them. Only placed 2nd in a $12 45-man Turbo. Lost about $300 so roughly 20 buy in downswing...nothing major...really its expected. Thats all I got for now. I really need to get out of this shit hole place of work ASAP.

weeeeeeeeeeee

It's been quite a while since the last update. I missed the original goal of $10k by March 31. And it was by just a near miss. Little story....Sunday, March 28th, I'm grinding a full Sunday schedule...its about 11:30pm-midnightish and I'm down to the last tournament...$22 200k Gtd Double Deuce. Sitting nice in chips with about 2.6 mill..blinds at 5k/10k + ante. I'm in the SB with QQ, button had about 3.4 millish, around there anyways...he raises to about 241k..i debated on reshipping this all in pre but thought 26-27 blinds might be able to inflate the pot and ship any flop..the competition was pretty weak at this point (17 players left and i was abusing my table)...so I bump it up to like 983k or something crazy....pretty much commiting myself and giving away my hand strength...raiser 4 bets all in and has me covered...i was doing backflips and this point and couldnt hit call fast enough....he flips over a monster KQo!!!! alsjlasjdflaskfjlaskfjlaskfj...so QQ vs KQo roughly 68% to win pre....bunch of low shit comes out..giving me 80 some % to win...turn is an A so im now like 96% to win...but wait...oh fuck....K on the river! GG me...out in 17th...5.6 mill pot, would have been chip leader with pretty much 16 to go at the weakest tournament in the world and $35k up for grabs....but no..gg. fuckkkk..pretty disappointing.

that was pretty much my jan-march right there...either getting semi deep and running like shit or getting pretty effin deep and running like complete day after taco bell asshole. It was break even poker for 3 straight months with some nice final tables and chokin heads up.

Highlights of mid Feb-March:

$6 Early Double- B: 5th - $450
$5.50 PLOHL Rebuy: 2nd- $498 (chokechokechoke)
$8.80 NLHE: 1st- $389 (first tournament win of the year!!! March 21st)
$22 Double Deuce: 17th- $844 (blahhhhhhh 35k!!!!!!!!!!)






So yea theres those...I had to whipe my LaBtop clean so I lost the other screen shots. So after a disappointing finish deep in a Sunday Major (yea i count that as a sunday major for me) I followed it a week later with a shippppppppppppp. $11 KO forst $2149 plus 23 KOs for another $46. Crazy how good it feels to finally ship something, I ran good when I had to and everything went my way. There wasnt much resistance, I was chip leader with around 130 or so left and then feel back down to top 10...just keep the pressure and was chip leader from about 33 and never lost it after that. Besides the 180 man win...this is actually my first MTT win ever online...and my biggest cash to date! Hopefully I'll ship a major soon? mayyyyybe





So basically heres where I'm at...failed the $10k because of QQ

I'm going to try to get a few hundo over on Stars so I can run $16 and $27 18 man sngs. I just started learning a better strategy on 3/31. I'm mixing $6.50s and $12s right now, played about 53 total with a huge 38% and $101 profit. (unsustainable but still good!)

$6.50s
28 played
ROI 90% ....lol
Profit $164

$12s
25 played
ROI -21%
Profit -$62

12s are kinda crappy...havent won alot of showdowns or suck outs but still shitty sample size on both. We'll see how this continues, my plan is to have these as variance cutters during the week while I grind a few MTTs and a bunch of these mainly....and still have a full MTTs schedule for the weekends.



Thats about all I got....I'll try to keep this updated on a more regular basis.

shout out to KULP for a few sick runs recently....

5th Daily Double A - $530
7th $15k GTD KO- $396
2nd $28k GTD- $3941 --sickkkkkoooo

also multiple other FTs last few months....feeling something big coming up! glglglglgl

also GL to chrisp200 grinding the 18s, should be on the sharkscope leaderboard in a few months.


Bankroll: $3245
