Final Tables and stuff

Oh where to begin.  September....SOLID month.  I haven't updated in a while so here we go....this month I've final tabled 10 tournaments..with.....0 wins.  If I remember 3 of them are 2nd. and the rest spread out from 4th-9th.  I can't complain but leaving a lot of money on the table.  I've been playing probably by far the best poker I've ever thought about playing. Started the month off pretty sick with 2nd in the $3r $10.5k on FTP , then decided to go on a horrendous downswing throughout the middle of the month.  So last night I started late, around 9pm.  Registered for pretty much anything I could and was 18 tabling at one point.  I final table bubbled the $3r $10.5k last night after I was in the BB with AK.  I was 2/10. CL is on the button and has limped 60% hand, I pot and he call. flop K9T rainbow. Check, he bets 187k(pot size) and I ship my milly on him(pretty dumb reviewing HH now) and he insta calls with KT...blank.blank. gg 10th.  2/10 AVOID THE CHIP LEADER DUH. I dont know how many times I've read that in Kill Everyone but CMON MAN. dumb.

I followed that up with a small FT, $11 KO, first was $572. ended up getting my shortie stack KJs into JJ. GG in 5th for a few hundo.  Then the epicness started....sitting solid in the $26 $15k KO 6max and the $11 6k 6max on stars.  I entered the FT of the $11 stars 6/6 with 45bbs. Yes 45bb stack and in last....such a sick deep stack FT.  Few solid players, few donkeys....ended up getting KK in pre with about 35bbs, bb showed AK and binked A on the flop. GG.  I had 1 to go and I couldnt not win it.....I was wrecking it with 2 tables to go in the $26 on FTP, ended up having over 1 mill of the 2-2.5millish in play.  Finally ended up getting heads up with a guy who had about 550kish at 12k/24k +ante...me hoovering around 2milly after knocking out someone.  Few back and forth hands and I'm really playing heads up well, dwindling him down.  I'm on the button...min raise...he ships its, I call....A9s vs his A8o...flop A8K...blank blank.  one double up...no problem I thought. we are even in chips and he asks for a chop. if it was the guy i just knocked out who was pretty sick i would have taken it. but i knew i could beat him so i declined chopping and went for the win...Honestly I dont win al ot but my heads up game is sick so I wasnt pissed or concerned at all.  few hands later i min raise the button with KTs and he calls  flop T98. BINK....have to be good right?  he checks...i bet just over half the pot...he 3 bets me...hmmmm..ok if you have the straight or 2 pair or trips GG NH whatever...i ship it....he calls with....yes yes here it is Ac8c. (either the T or 9 was a club)..turn Club...river...no dont do it..cmon let me ship it please? one time?  CLUB. FUcK ME. he's got a gazillion chips and i'm down to 25 bbs...few hands back and forth, i get KQo in vs his A3o and he holds. gg. 2nd place $2562. 

Still can't complain I had a +$2900 night, ended my current stake(get to move on to bigger games) and get to profit some for me.

I wasn't able to get a SS from the Stars final table 6th but it was about $293 i think.


September so far:

2nd largest cash of the career and so far 2nd largest month. Couldnt come at a better time. Really sick swings and 2 nights straight where I lost every hand all in. I stuck with it, played my A game and really pumped out some volume.  Thats all it takes. Review HHs, watch videos and PLAY PLAY PLAY.  Until the next update....GL at the tables.


oh and shout out to KULP for shipping 2 tournaments in 2 days and chrisp200 for 3rd place finish last night in the $1r Rush Rebuy for $1500. nj guys....pittsburgh players ftw.

Good Sunday

Ended up playing another solid 12 hour sunday session and it went pretty well. I played 27 total games. Plus $215 WCOOP Event 3 $2 Million Gtd., which I totally bricked in.  I couldnt get anything going in it and when I would get a good hand I would be out flopped or sucked out.  Sick tournament , $335k for first place, would have been nice...maybe next time.

Since I binked a nice hit in the 3r I got another stake for a little bit higher levels...

pretty solid because this is what I was playing in April/May area which were the most profitable months for me this year. I final tabled the $22 $5k 6-max tournament yesterday, brining in the only FT of the day. I was playing pretty solid throughout the tournament and got unlucky when my K9o got out drawn by 79o on an all in on the flop 9 T 6 board....8 on river gg. still paid solid $700ish.  Also made a deep run in the later $3r $40k GTD on Stars....ended up going out 30th for about 90ish. I had Q8s and made a raise and got 3bet by the small blind. He was pretty active and so was I(folding to 3 bets a lot) so I decided to 4bet bluff him. he insta called with 99. I hit a Q on the flop and picked up a flush draw on the turn except it was his 9...bricked on the river. gg. 6.5k for first....damnnnn.Still made $378 on the Sunday so I cant complain. My month is off to a solid start so far.

Not sure if this includes rebuys or not but it has to be pretty close. obv not sustainable but hopefully we can keep up the pace and have a good month after such a bad beat month with getting fired and so forth.

Sheeep

Well pretty solid first 4 days of September.  I played a huge session yesterday. Started at Noon and registered until 9:40pm. After all said and done I put in 17 hours of work.  Pretty rough day though I didnt cash anything until about hour 7 or 8.  Ended up getting really deep again in the $16.50 Turbo $30k GTD. Had around 17BBs and I opend shoved KK into the buttons AA. GG me in 25th, $70 :(  first was $6.3k.  Also made a nice run in the $12 Double B ran JJ into AQ no flippy for me. gg.  Was down to one of the last tournaments of the day.  Reg'd at 8:30pm ...8 hours later I took 2nd. Went in with about 2 to 1 chip lead on this donk who had 67 total games played.  ended up doubling him up on a bad play...few hands later i button shove JJ with 15BBs and he called with 33....spikes 3 on the turn. GG.

So relieved to hit something like this finally after the last few days of getting close and getting zippo. I ended my "Yellow Belt" stake and prob will make it to the next level. We will see in a few days.

that about wraps it up so far....ran like butthole in august and hopefully turn that around in september.

Septemberrrr

August didnt go so hot, ended up down for the month. I'll have to get a Sharkscope Screenshot here in a bit.  I played good but just didnt run good at all.

The first 3 days of the stake are in the books and I have 3 final tables.  No wins :-/ . Up about $300 on the stake...I said in the first post about it , if i tripled it i would end..actualy I have to double it to $1200 and move on to the next stake.  I've been running a few $4.40 180s to fill screen and they are pretty soft. Might continue to do that.

Since I'm over $800 I'm allowed to add some games.

$22 freezeouts and below with field sizes of 91+.
$5 rebuys and below.
