I guess Ill stop posting here, lol so if your linked to my blog change it

Its xxjondxx.com that link was wrong and i suck @ making links

-1359 day exactly, new blog?

2008-03-19T05:38:00.002-04:00

Lets see, I stayed up until like 9am and went to sleep and woke up around 6pm. I decided to play the 1k and the 100 rebuy on poker stars. I got my money in vs k4dd on a 8j4, 2 diamond flop for a big stack but lost. I think im not even a favorite but who calls an utg raise with k4 lol. In the 100 rebuy I flipped 10-10 vs aq and lost. I then watched some family guy and the office on tv and fell asleep around 10-11 pm. I woke up at 2 am and here I am blogging.

I probably wont play all week because I have hockey games today and tomorrow and Friday I might do some stuff with friends plus I still need a phone and I need to get a haircut because of easter. I still suck at nhl 08 despite playing for like 3 hours total. The games pretty rigged imo. I haven't really been motivated to play because I mean I made more then the majority of people are going to make this year in 3 months and I pretty much completed every goal I set for myself. Also when I put in low volume every bad beat sucks and I can't get myself to get motivated to play a $55 donament or a $30 rebuy for such little money. Its dumb I know but thats just how I feel.

I also still haven't made an appointment with a cpa and I have no idea how this is gonna work because I have no idea how much I won/lost last year and the spread sheets the poker sites sent me are sketchy. I think I'm going to NJ for some halo 3 tournament in early april to be some coach for my friends team. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do but w/e Its something to do. Also I asked my friend to make me a website like 4 months ago but he just asked me today if I still wanted him to. I guess hes gonna link to his site or something but w/e, hes almost done I think and I don't think it will be much different. It would be xxjondxx.com.

Sigh, Sleeping is impossible!

2008-03-17T21:53:00.002-04:00

I wasn't going to play any mtts on Sunday because I had a hockey banquet but I woke up at like 5pm. So I jumped in a few majors and ftp had their monthly million so that was cool. I also played the ub 200k, 100 re, 215 hu matches, 2nd chance and mulligan. I was in for like a million bucks in the 100 rebuy and went out in like the 3rd hour or something. I made a deep run in the ftp million but got short stacked and shoved a6 into aq. I think I ended up down like 2k. Buchsbaumy asked if I wanted to buy 20% of him in the 200 rebuy, which I declined and he obv went to finish 3rd. Congrats to him :), grrr.

I might be on a 10k swing over the week which is funny because I didn't play much. I pretty much played the big tourneys over the week but I didn't cash for anything worth while. I haven't been into playing much and I think a lot of it is my sleep schedule. I am staying until like 7-9 am everyday therefore I wake up at like 5pm every day. When I wake up I feel pretty tired and never feel like playing.

Ran out of stuff to type.

O ya, I bought nhl 08 so I prob should become the best in the world before the hockey season ends.

sigh

2008-03-15T21:32:00.002-04:00

So many leaks

2008-03-14T09:16:00.002-04:00

I was thinking about how the hell I am a winning mtt player with so many leaks in my game. Also I was thinking about why my ftp stats were so bad. Duh, I have 0 post flop skills. Ftp has a much slower structure so instead of being 20 bbs deep your really like 40. When your deeper stacked you have so many more options. On stars or ap or ub(later in tourneys), your only move is gonna be to shove it in. Or shove a lot of flops or turns. If your deep you can't get your stack in the middle as easily. I like having a set range of hands that I can just shove without any thought but if I have to see a flop I don't know where I am a lot of the time. I tend to check call down way too much when I have no clue how to play when Im too deep to just shove. This is pretty much just me rambling but and I dont know where I can pick up some post flop skills but it makes sense.

Also another thing about post flop play, its as easy as fuck to play post flop with huge hands. I mean its hard to fuck it up when you cant lose the hand no matter what you do. In all the tourneys I have won or gone deep in I just get hit with the deck to build a huge stack. I either flop big hands or am dealt aces a million times. Im sure its not always like that but for the most part I think it is. Lucky for me everyone else sucks worse at poker then me and I can some how win a tournament every so often to make some money.

Doing nothing

2008-03-14T05:07:00.001-04:00

Haven't played much, i played mon-wed nights for the 1ks and stuff but I didn't cash in anything. I ran pretty bad and I think I'm playing ok. I probably will play Saturday but not Sunday. Kinda tired and not feeling good even though I'm not sick anymore. I have to call some tax guy and set up a meeting or w/e and I still need to go out and get a new phone. I'll also probably pick up nhl 2008 even though the seasons almost over.

First profitable Sunday ever

2008-03-10T03:11:00.002-04:00

Ran terrible for every tourney except my last 2. 200 rebuy which I took 2nd in for 32k and I also won a 12k seat to the wsop me which I obv cant go to because Im 18. hurray

ran bad

2008-03-09T05:13:00.003-04:00

So the past week Ive played terrible. Today I woke up around 4pm feeling well rested and feeling better(not as sick). I obv had to play and I did. I feel I played extremely well but ended down prob at least 2k. I ran so terrible it sucked. I managed to cash in a 50 fo on stars, a 100 fo on stars and the 100 1 rebuy 1 add on on ftp. Tomorrows Sunday so hopefully I will win a major. I will probably get like 0 hours of sleep because Its impossible for me to fall asleep.

:(

2008-03-06T18:08:00.001-05:00

Ok yesterday I signed up for the 2pm $100 rebuy but got really tired and went to sleep when I was kind of short stacked. Probably a waste of money but w/e. I wake up around 5pm with chills and stuff in a ton of pain. Obv have the flu. I couldn't play any Wednesday mtts because I felt terrible. I am feeling a lot better today but don't know if I want to put in a mtt session tonight. I might just play some Cod. I moved up 8 spots in the rankings which is funny because I don't really remember playing much all week and when I did play I played really bad and I know it.

Terrible day

2008-03-05T02:58:00.002-05:00

I woke up sick and I slept until 5 pm. I decided to play some mtts and I didnt cash in like the 8 I played. I played poorly at the end because I really felt like shit. I feel a little better but cant sleep despite taking some nyquil. Hopefully I will feel better for the night mtts because I obv need to defend my ap title.

Neg day

2008-03-04T03:15:00.002-05:00

Played 3 mtts, 100k, 100 re and ftp 1k.
Went deep in another 1k mtt but went out in the 40ths when I 3 bet a lp raise and called his shove with 10-10. He had JJ. O well that makes me cashing in my last 4 1k mtts, 1 on each site. I got like $1500 for my finish. So 1500-1050-509-162 = however much im down which isnt much.

Meh

2008-03-03T20:02:00.002-05:00

Ok I slept 16 hours yay, and I played some cod. Just signed onto ps for the night tourneys, prob only playing the 100 re, 100k and the ftp 1k tonight. Might throw in the 20 re but who knows. I didn't win the contest it was really close actually. Im just rambling right now though. The first hand I get in the 100 rebuy is aces.

Obv

2008-03-02T21:32:00.002-05:00

I only played a few mtts because I was so tired. I went deeep in the brawl but took 35th. I was running way too hot anyways so I probably shouldn't have made it that far. I think I am gonna win the Sunday contest so if I do I will be positive on the day.

Sleepy Sunday

2008-03-02T10:25:00.003-05:00

I'm so tired. I hope I win a mtt today like the Sunday Million. Schedule hmmm will probably change depending on how tired I am. I did get 1 hour of sleep before my hockey game and I feel pretty awake now but it's still 2 more hours before the first tourney starts.

Schedule will look similar to this though

Can't sleep

2008-03-02T03:44:00.002-05:00

3:44 am I have to wake up in 3 hours for a hockey game so I probably won't sleep. I'll just have to load up on caffeine. I guess I'll probably have to go to the store and buy like 50 red bulls for the Sunday majors tomorrow. Last day of high volume I think. In the big ones obv, and Ill do some of the ftp 163s and stars 100 fos I think. 200 rebuy starts late and Ill be running on no sleep so I am not sure about that one.

time off?

2008-02-29T23:51:00.002-05:00

naw, but i dont wanna put in any volume. I jsut played bad and stuff and get tired. Ill play sunday then maybe just play the big tourneys on m-w. take thurs+ friday off but i dunno. dont feel like typing nrmal either.l

Lol

2008-02-29T18:52:00.001-05:00

Ok I quit playing last night because I got tired after eating dinner. I only cashed in the 20 rebuy and probably was down at least 1k. I think I will play a bunch tonight but it depends how I feel. I'm probably one of the biggest stations so I think I will try to focus on not check/calling down every time I flop a pair lol. Maby if I win a mtt my team can win the February plb challenge. I think we are in 2nd place now but we are down by a few hundred points.

High Volume Night

2008-02-28T18:52:00.002-05:00

I'll probably play like a million mtts tonight so hopefully I will win something :)

Schedule will look something like this

Stars-
25k, 25k, 100 re, 100k, 20 re, 50-50, 10 re, 20k
ftp-
25k, 55k, 30 re, 50-50, both daily doubles, 30k, 10 re, 50 re

2008-02-27T19:43:00.001-05:00

OK Wednesday

2008-02-27T01:34:00.003-05:00

Rankings update right? I dunno maybe if I'm ranked I'll run good.

I might have to work. I wish I would just get fired or something because I hate having to go but I can't quit because it would just piss off my mom. I guess shes right because I probably would almost never get out of the house. Hockey seasons over and all my friends are college so not much to do during the day but play some poker.

Even if I have to work I will still be able to play pretty much the standard night schedule. I feel I am playing OK. I just am having a hard time staying disciplined when I'm like 1 tabling or something. I wish I would have just won the 1k today or shipped like 40 or 50k. The more money I have the more secure I feel and it just backs up my choice to drop out of college. Especially if I have to shell out 20k for taxes, thats a pretty big hit. It almost feels like I'm forced to play which is not what I want for it to feel like.

honestly fuck this

2008-02-27T01:14:00.001-05:00

final 2 tables of both the 100 re and the 1k.

Interesting hands lol

2008-02-26T20:21:00.005-05:00

Meh too lazy to keep doing this as I play. Basically just grinding my stack up through resteals and stuff like that. Not getting many hands or anything and playing very solid in both the 100 re and the 1k. In the 100k I ran qq into aa and then aq into aa.

Only have 3 tables running so ill post them as they come up.

stars 1k like the 5th hand.
I make a standard iso raise and get 2 callers which I dont really like, get a pretty good flop but the min raise really concerns me. Obv plan on just tryign to get to a cheap showdown. Then he ends up showing down a pretty hilarious hand, im guessing he won a sat in lol.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2173554

meh, maby im supposed to fold on the turn. I might flat a standard raise but its a min raise. Didnt want to play a giant pot so I check the flop looking to draw cheap. I guess if I bet the flop theres a good shot I take it down. Wonder what the guy behind me had, prob like ak or aq or some mid pair.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2173606

Don't want to squeeze pre, and I didnt like the guys flop lead. I decide to just call. The king on the turn is pretty meaningless. I really didnt want to play a huge pot and if I raise and he shoves I have to fold I think. I was happy to check it down on the river and yay I won :)
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2173662

100 rebuy, I hit a nice 2 outter lol. W/e i felt like gambling and I hit.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2173569

I wanna play...

2008-02-26T04:43:00.001-05:00

But its 4:43 am. I remotivated myself sorta by watching some cardrunners and pxf and cant wait to play tomorrow. I always wanna try out the new stuff I watch though. Hopefully I feel the same way when I wake up.

Worst mtt day in a while

2008-02-26T00:54:00.002-05:00

Pretty much ran terrible. Not much else to say. Not sure how much I will play tomorrow but Ill most likely put in a night session in the very least because of the super tuesday.

grr Sundays and still not ranked!!!

2008-02-25T15:44:00.003-05:00

-3946.75 day for Sunday. I only cashed in the first 100 rebuy even though I was cl for like a really long time with 150 people left I finished in the 50s for $700 something. I also cashed in the 200k gtd on ub for $400.

Also I'm not ranked atm which is ghey :(. I am 97th in the propoll now and 71s in the sliding so I am unofficially ranked 89th. I have no idea when the next update is but I hope its soon because I want that pointless number in the top of my p5s profile!!!

Edit: O NO!!! Im still 113 in the propoll, im 97th in the fan poll :(

I'll probably play the 1k on ftp but not sure what else I will want to play tonight.

It finally uploaded lol, my 1k ft where I took 4th for 30k

2008-02-24T01:52:00.001-05:00

1k mtt where i finished 4th, i think I played the ft weird and made some very nitty folds
http://www.pokerxfactor.com/servlet/pxf?t=myhand2&a=mv&handid=115280

heres my 50 rebuy ft
http://www.pokerxfactor.com/servlet/pxf?a=mv&t=myhand2&handid=116228&filename=50%20re%203rd.txt

pretty meh day

2008-02-23T23:11:00.002-05:00

Fted the 50 rebuy on ps but took 3rd, fted the 100 rebuy on ftp but took 8th. Went deep in the ub 1k but finished like 15 or 16th. Im in some $109 deep stack mtt that is taking forever and Im kind of bored, and it doesnt pay much for first.

After Sunday I should pretty much explode into the rankings. Currently I think I would be ranked 92nd. And I put up some big scores today. Its really the pro poll that hurts me considering I would basically be 64th or better in the sliding but 113th in the pro poll :(.

Changed up my game a bit and I like it....

2008-02-23T04:01:00.003-05:00

but the poker sites dont. I had 3 bubbles out of the 7? mtts I played. I had 1 cash in the ftp 20 rebuy but lost kk vs aq for a top 3 stack. I had a good stack in the 50 re on ftp that I fted last night but lost 9-10 hh vs 3-5 dd on a 9 K X 2 diamond board where I raised from the co, the dude called in the bb with 3-5 diamonds for like 3k of his 17k stack and 2x pot shoved it with a flush draw. I call and he hits the flush on the river. Im gonna keep this playing style over the weekend and see how it fares in the majors and such. Its pretty much my old game, I guess Im more fundamentally sound now then I used to be and Im slightly more aggro. Not gonna say exactly what Im doing though.

couple fts :(

2008-02-22T13:48:00.002-05:00

Took 9th in a 100 re 2 days ago. I also fted the 50 re on ftp last night but finished 4th. Probably breakevenish or maby +1k or something over the past 2 days.

More poker today

2008-02-20T11:43:00.002-05:00

Wednesday is a good tourney day again. After I take my sister to the fucking Library which I am super pissed about considering I was woken up like 5 hours before I wanted to wake up because of her I will put in some high volume I guess. Big tourneys on tonights schedule include the ap 1k, the stars $320 and the ftp $100 rebuy.

I had a decent day yesterday winning the $200 turbo on stars. I also had cashes in a $100 rebuy but made 1 retarded call and finished 14th. I also had cashes in the $50 1 re 1ao, 55k on ftp, prob some other random mtt, and I know I won a few seats to the Super Tuesday.

200 turbo win on ... FTP omg wtf impossible?

2008-02-19T20:38:00.002-05:00

Ship, also had a 14th in a 100 rebuy :(

Interesting Day

2008-02-19T03:53:00.003-05:00

I started playing around 1:30 pm and did a few 60 turbos and the $100 rebuy, Daily 50k, $50 re and the $10 rebuy. By the time the 50 rebuy started I was tired and wanted to quit for the day so I called an all in with 6-2 with the intent of going back to sleep. One problem I won and was the cl and ended the rebuy hour in 9th. I did quit the 10 rebuy in the first hour though. I did manage to win a 60 45 man turbo and I finished 2nd in a 114 45 man turbo that I didnt realize I registered for. I didnt cash in the 50 rebuy despite playing decent imo but ended my afternoon session up like $20, maby more.

Then around 7pm I get a msg from my friend Buchsbaumy asking if I wanted to swap some action in some night mtts. I decide to play and buy into the 1k on ftp, the 55k, the ps 100k, ps 20 re, ps 100 re ub 30 re and ap 30 re. I declined swapping action in both 30 rebuys because the prize pools are just too small imo. We swapped like 20% in the 100k and the 55k though. I took the most retarded beats to be eliminated from both. I couldnt get anything goin in any of the other mtts either and failed to cash in every single one. I then get a message saying that Paul is the cl of the 55k. I obv go rail and he ends up taking it down for 22k, his 1st 5 figure cash ever. Hes more of a small field rebuy guy and most of his cashes are ussually around 2k. It couldnt happen to a nicer guy, obv it was nice I got like 4.5k of that putting me +2k on the day :) and robustoing my ftp account from $86. On another note he pretty much killed in all his mtts cashing in 4 30 rebuys and fting the ap 30 rebuy but getting knocked out 3rd. I think if he put in some serious volume he could make a lot of money.

Tomorrow should be fun. Well sorta, my parents and my sister are going to some college to check it out and Ill have the house to myself. It gets annoying with a lot of people around and because the Super Tuesday is tomorrow I plan on putting in a full schedule. I already signed up for all my ftp mtts and I decided this will be my last shot at ftp. I have 4k left on the site and until my epass thing gets unfrozen I will make no effort to replenish that $$ that I have there. I mean I have 70k profit in mtts on stars but I am a whopping -20k on ftp. Thats just sick and I dont know why. Im pretty motivated to play and I will put in high volume so hopefully I can get a couple final tables and a super tuesday win? lol!

Out of anything that matters :(

Cant sleep so here Sundays Schedule

2008-02-17T02:19:00.003-05:00

Still only 14 mtts, I might throw in a 10 re, or a $55 fo. I guess I might eliminate the $109 fos and play less then I have listed. It really depends how I feel.

Lol so I didnt have to "work"

2008-02-16T18:52:00.003-05:00

And I played 3 mtts an 1 sng. I played stars 50 re, ap 150k, ftops 100 re plo. I was in for 1200 with a min stack but doubled at the end of 2nd hour i think. Then this happened. I dont have much plo mtt experience but I think I played this correctly.

Just got itm in the 50 re. I have a head ache so I prob wont play tonight.

Sigh fted 20k again

2008-02-16T01:42:00.002-05:00

had 1/3 the chips in play 10 handed lol, proceeded to lose jj to aj, 55 to j9, and qq to 78. 4 handed I ran a huge bluff into the nuts and pretty much lost there. Other then that I played the 100re, 55k, 30re, 25k 109 fo on stars, 25k 75 on ftp, and a bunch of 60 45 man sngs. I had 2 seconds in like 5 or 6 of them. I probably finished positive on the day by like 1k or something like that I think I won 1400 or 1700 for 4th in the ub 20k.

Tonights Schedule

2008-02-15T18:40:00.002-05:00

In a couple turbo 45 man sng mtts now. I will prob play most of the bigger mtts including the Stud Hi ftops event. I prob wont play any mtts on Saturday because I have to work lol.

Sunday should be fun though. 2 ftops, 2 2 million guaranteed tourneys, obv the Sunday mil. Pretty exciting. Prob play 20 or so mtts on Sunday.

So according the the sliding plb on pocket 5s which is half of the rankings I am in 85th right now. Unfortunately my pro poll rank is 123 which isnt high enough to move me into the top 100 in rankings. Hopefully when they update all the crap on Sunday? I will have a high enough pro poll to be ranked. I think its dumb that half of the rankings is really just popularity.

:(

2008-02-14T00:36:00.002-05:00

-320,-1220,-509,-1050,-163,-709, +300??

-3671

2008 goals lol

2008-02-13T12:51:00.001-05:00

I laid out 7 really only 6 because super nova elite would be impossible now. I won a 100 rebuy, I fted 2 1k mtts(goal was to ft 1), I am probably ranked. All thats left is triple crow, 300k in earnings and ft a major.

4th in 1k

2008-02-13T04:05:00.002-05:00

won 30k shoulda won imo but w/e, prob will take a break because im pretty devastated. edit: I guess Ill prob be ranked now too depending on where I am in peoples pro polls.

Sigh bubbled 100 rebuy

2008-02-11T23:57:00.000-05:00

finished 38th top 36 pay. Cre8ive who I think is pretty aggro made it 7.5k and I shoved 45k with 68 clubs. I did this because hes supposed to be aggro, its the bubble, and its blind v blind so I think he has a huge range. He calls with ak and I get the sickest flop ever j79 2 clubs. I miss 23 outs twice and I lose a huge pot for top 10 in chips.

Edit: went deep in 100k, finished 45? or 44th outta 1k+ for nothing. Pretty shitty day. Dropped a few thousand and I didn't play much. Not sure how much I will play tomorrow.

Ill attempt to have a low volume night

2008-02-11T19:25:00.000-05:00

I just got so tired earlier so I stopped adding tables. I might have cashed in 1 60 turbo out of like a million. I will play the $100 re, 1k, 55k, and 100k at least tonight. I might play more but I might give this whole low volume thing a try.

High Volume day tomorrow + Yesterday's recap

2008-02-10T23:14:00.000-05:00

I didn't plan on playing but I got home from lol work lol early. So I fired up like a billion tables and played some mtts on stars, ftp, ub and the ap dream package. I won another 45 man $60 turbo, and had some random cashes. I got tired and I started playing kind of reckless. When I got deep in the $10 rebuy, 20 rebuy and ub 30 rebuy I started to focus more but didnt ft anything. I had a ton of chips in the ub 30 re but I ran aq into aces.

I played half a mtt today because I opened stars and I didnt realize it but I was in the top 1k in tlb points for January so I was in a freeroll that I forgot about. I didnt realize it started until like half way through and I didnt cash.

Tomorrow I will prob put in a ton of volume. I may try to just stay on one site until the ftops because its like 100 times easier to organize my tables. Theres the 1k 1 mil gtd ftops and I think its 6 max so it would be nice to win lol. Depending on when I wake up I will prob play like 50 mtts if you include the 60 45 man turbos.

Meh :(

2008-02-08T13:22:00.001-05:00

Yesterday kinda sucked. I couldnt decide how much volume I wanted to put in so I really only played 20 or so mtts. I had a cash in the early 10 rebuy on stars, a $129 Ko on Ftp and I final tabled bubbled the $200 turbo on Ftp again. Last week I finished 10th in that same tournament. Yesterday it was a 6 max so I obviously finished 7th. Prob wont play much from Friday-Sunday and will miss all of the Ftops :(

Won 50 re again

2008-02-07T00:59:00.001-05:00

Epassporte can smd

2008-02-06T11:03:00.000-05:00

Account is frozen because I guess I went over 5k. Lol my account has never been over 5k I dont think. Maybe like 2 months ago. Anyways sent in my id and bank statement and crap, I hear this takes a long time which isnt good. My ap account has like nothing in it, and with the Ftops coming up I better not run bad or something and get no cashes or else I will have like no way to get money back on.

Yesterdays Mtts

Good Mtt day

2008-02-05T01:31:00.000-05:00

Ill post the results tomorrow when they are all on opr but I played a lot of mtts. I started off with the ap 20 rebuy which I fted but finished 3rd for $700-$800. I played the ub $109 8k, $129 20k and $162 20k. I played a ton of ftp and stars tourneys. I sattyed into the 1k on ftp but it was for like $900+ so it wasnt really worth much. I also played a ton of mtts on stars. I fted a 50 1 re 1 ao and finished 5th for 1k and I fted the 45k 10 rebuy but finished 5th for 2900. I also made a small cash in the nightly 100k but only for $400 or so. I had epic bubbles in the ftp 30 re, and $75 25k. If I had won the flips and one of them was a crazy suckout I would have been very close to the chip lead. The last mtt I cashed in was the ftp 1k monday. I went out 22nd for a little over 2k for another nice cash.

I pretty much woke up at 6 am and played from 1pm to 1 am so Im pretty tired. I will prob wake up sat into the 1k on stars and just do some late night mtts. Hopefully today knocked out the losses from yesterday.

2008-02-04T06:20:00.000-05:00

So only a few days into February and I'm already down a few thousand. I think what I need to do in February is to make a conscience effort to play when I'm not dead tired. Like right now I'm awake and fine but its 6:22 am. In a few hours I will be tired and have to go to bed. It's really because I get woken up every morning around 5-7 am and recently have been going to bed around 1-2am(which is better then 5-9am). I tried to put in a ton of volume last month and some may say I did but really I didn't play that much and when I did I was super tired.

Another thing I probably should stop playing $200 rebuys lol. I guess I've been lucky to be in for very little the past few times I've played. My br management always gets worse after I have a big win.

I think theres some holes in my mtt game that are fairly obvious. I mean I know what they are and it really boils down to discipline. I seem to just say fuck it a lot of the time and just make a retarded call with 1 pair, sometimes I'm right, usually I'm wrong. Also I probably play too nitty and need to open up my game when I get a bigger stack. When I have a lot of tables going at once I really have been just sitting back and waiting for hands. I guess it's great when you get the hands but when you don't you really give yourself little opportunity to win. Maybe that means that I need to cut down on some volume but hopefully I can add some aggression back to my game. Some things I need to add to my game is slow playing. I think about it and my c/r frequency is like super low. I have taken basically identical lines with every hand for the past month. I have just been playing really fast all the time and really never changing gears. I have this abnormal fear of being played back at and afraid to leave my poker "comfort zone." I hate not knowing what to do in a spot, so I take the easiest line to simplify all my decisions. It may not be a big mistake but it may lead me away from playing optimally.

Thats it for now, might elaborate a little bit on some more stuff later.

Official Sunday Update Post

2008-02-03T12:26:00.001-05:00

Instead of making 1000 threads I will edit this one I think.

Ima just copy/paste my opr stuff tomorrow, so far I finished 18th in a 100 rebuy for 2k was in for 300 and I finished somewhere in the 215 hu matches for 500 or w/e it was.

Meh I had big stacks in the 100 and 200 rebuys but didnt cash. I think I ended down around 2.1k which is just an estimate.

pstars results, In for $300,$500 and $600 in the 100 rebuys and the 200 rebuy. I was in for $200 prob in the $10 rebuy but quit.

Sunday again..

2008-02-02T22:14:00.000-05:00

Last night I finished up some more mtts. I cashed in the 100k again but finished like 118th or something really bad when I flipped qq vs ak for probably the chip lead(I was 10th in chips at the time). I also fted the ub 20k and went out 4th for $1700. I guess I was positive on the day. I didnt play any mtts today mostly because I had a hockey game, my team won. I did do some cash really early in the morning for -$300 or so.

Sundays tomorrow so that means big mtts. Its also Super Bowl Sunday so I will be watching the game. I have no idea if this makes the mtts more +ev because less people play or maybe they will be drunk or something. Lets see here, my schedule will be something like this.
12:45 Sunday Warmup
13:00 $109 Fo
14:00 $100 rebuy, Ftp brawl
16:30 Sunday Million
17:00 Ub 200k
17:15 $215 Hu Matches
18:00 Ftp 500k
18:30 Stars Second Chance
19:00 $109 Fo
19:05 Ftp Mulligan
19:30 $100 rebuy
20:00 Ftp 55k, Ap 75k
20:30 Ub 75k
21:00 $200 rebuy

I might throw in some of the smaller mtts because thats only 16 mtts which doesn't seem like a lot. Still thats like $4602 in buy ins if I average 1k in the 200 rebuy and 500 in the 100 rebuys.

Not again :(

2008-02-01T21:02:00.000-05:00

Im so tired. I got to bed around 1 am and got woken up again at like 7 am by my sister. Then I took a nap from like noon to 3 pm and picked my sister up from school and started mtts around 4:45 after I took her to work. Im in a bunch of mtts now but I am so tired. I cashed in a 50 rebuy, bubbled a few other ones. No more updates gotta get back to playing. I think I will stop adding mtts so I can get to bed sometime soon.

Jan recap, feb goals?

2008-02-01T17:55:00.000-05:00

Meh, pretty shitty month imo. I won the 100 rebuy on the first day and it pretty much went down hill from there. A few of the highlights from the month are me winning the ub 20k again and a 1k ft on ftp. Some shitty stuff is me losing like 13-15k in plo, lol. I pretty much destroyed sngs when I played but I only played 487 for 4k in profit. Maybe I will play a few more this month. I did 30 this morning for -$500 or something like that. If I played every day 2k might not be unreasonable.

February is a big month for mtts mostly because of the FTOPS. I plan on playing most of them. Im also in another small plb competition on p5s. 12 teams of 3 $100 buy in winner take all. 10 scores from each player for 30 total per team.

less sleepy now

2008-01-29T20:07:00.000-05:00

I busted the 100 rebuy so I took a nap and sat out of the $55 mtt and the $55 rebuy and unregged for the super tuesday. Lol I woke up at 7:58 just missing the start of the tourney but hopped in the $100 rebuy. Prob play a few other ones tonight I guess.

update: was in the $100 re for $500 and had a bunch of chips but got priced in when I 3 bet a co raise with aqs and pearljammer shoved in the bb. I knew he had me crushed but I was getting 3.3-1 and the only time I can fold is if I know hes shoving exclusively AA. KK+ is a call. He had AK and I didn't improve. I was in for like $300 in the ftp 30 re but just quit in rebuy hour because it was retarded. Prob won't play mtts tomorrow.

sleepy again

2008-01-29T09:35:00.000-05:00

Dropped like a thousand or 2 yesterday. I played a bunch and cashed in 2? tourneys. Both were $24 donkaments lol. I still haven't slept but I'm determined to play mtts today and not sleep until night time. Last time I didn't sleep I won a 100 rebuy. Ill just chug caffeinated beverages for a few hours I guess. Ill play a few thousand sats to the 1k on stars tonight lets just hope I get in for less then 5k hell I might even shoot to get in for 2k.

Update: played 3 225 sats and won a seat on my first one. I guess I will quit while Im ahead and take my $675 seat.

Sunday

2008-01-28T00:47:00.000-05:00

Got home in time for 3 mtts, the $200 rebuy, $530 75k on ub and the ap 75k. I finished 30th or something in the 200 rebuy for 1400 or so. I was in for $1000 so I ended up down a few hundred on the day.

4th in 109

2008-01-27T04:08:00.000-05:00

meh i shouldnt complain because I got extremely lucky like 2000 times but Im still pissed I finished 4th. Got like 3k sigh

Mtts went meh

2008-01-27T02:25:00.000-05:00

I played like 15 and cashed in 3. I went deep in the 100k again but finished 12th for nothing. I wish stars had a better late game structure. Its so retarded. Add a few levels at the end so i can actually open raise w/o being committed. I ended up shoving when utg and utg+1 limped in 6 or 7 handed. I had k7 in the sb and shoved for maybe 11 bbs hoping to pick up the dead money. The bb tanked and called with aq and I lost.

I cashed in the 20 rebuy too for some other meaningless amount. I am still in the 1pm $109 fo so maby I can win that. 22/26 right now and first is a little over 10k. 1 double up and Im top 9 stacks so its really shallow.

more mtts

2008-01-26T22:29:00.000-05:00

I might as well put in some volume tonight. Pretty much playing every mtt I guess. I have a new table setup that I like. I will probably never have a read again because its like 100% overlap but I don't mind. I can surf the net and have 20 tables going w/o a problem(slight exaggeration more like 15 tables).

Hockey team lost again. I did get like 5 hours of sleep and wasn't really tired for my game. I have another game tomorrow at 6:10pm so I miss every major again. I might make it back in time for the ub 75k and the $200 rebuy that I probably shouldn't play. Maby I can get someone to buy half my action for it which would make it like a 100 rebuy? lol.

Back to the mtt grind

Few cashes, I might have broken even

2008-01-26T08:56:00.001-05:00

I played a bunch of mtts too tired to remember which ones. I finished 10th in the $200 turbo on ftp which was gay. I was 3rd in chips when I went out too. 99 loses to 10-10. I fted the $50 1 re 1 ao on stars but finished 6th for like 1.5k? I also had cashes in a 10 rebuy on stars and a $109 6 max on ftp. I prob played over 20 mtts though so its not really that much.

Its 9 am and I havent slept yet. I have a hockey game at 6:50 pm so I might try to stay up. I will prob be dead for my game though, but I don't want to take a nap and wake up right before my game like last time.Last time I didn't eat or anything woke up at like 6pm and left for my game and was completely dead. I felt really sick.

On another note Ap forum poster and Ap 20 rebuy legend, Buchsbaumy, is in the hospital and its not looking good. If you know him or don't even know him I would ask that you pray for him. According to a post he made he has a tumor about the size of a softball on his right lung and it is growing around a major artery and is most likely cancer. Hes a pretty cool guy and has definitely supported me since I was just a low limit mtt donk.

New tournament day

2008-01-25T17:15:00.000-05:00

Prob play a bunch of mtts tonight. Im gonna try to play solid throughout instead of spewing in some of the donkaments

6th in 150k

2008-01-24T05:09:00.000-05:00

for like 9.7k. Extremely disapointing(idc if its spelled wrong) I was completely card dead. I sucked out jj vs qq aipf at ft when i flopped quads. I then lost a huge flip 10s vs kq aipf. Maby if any player left at the final table had any idea how to play I would feel better but that is not the case. Still I booked a winning day.

New day

2008-01-23T07:31:00.001-05:00

Great day for tournaments. Theres the $300 on stars and the 1k on ap. Also I think ftp has a $100 re 6 max that I might play. Yesterday I woke up at 7pm and went to bed around midnight. Unfortunately I woke up at 5 am so I am probably going to be tired for the late night tourneys. Hopefully though if I manage not to take a nap I will have a normal sleep schedule. I played about 400 hands of nl cash this morning at 1/2 nl stakes. I was 2 tabling and ended up being a $400 winner. It was over 1k but I played a huge $700 pot where I flopped the open ender and flush draw(and 2 overs) when the guy flopped a set. He filled up on the turn :(.

Im in a random $100 team midstakes plb challenge thing right now and am doing the worst. I guess I was the captain somehow, but all my scores this month have really been in the bigger mtts. I might put in some volume in some lower stakes mtts today to help my team out.

EDIT: Uhh, Seeing as I got no sleep I'm dead tired and will probably take a nap around 3:15pm. If I wake up in time I'll play the tourneys but if I don't, I prob can't play until Friday.

Day off

2008-01-22T10:05:00.000-05:00

I dont plan on playing. Missing the super tuesday :(

Tonights Schedule

2008-01-21T21:07:00.000-05:00

Just in 4 mtts. If I bust out I might add more. I ended up paying $1300+ for my $1050 Monday seat lol. I'm also in the $100 rebuy(for $300), the ftp $30 re, and the pokerstars Nightly 100k.

Updates, I started the 2nd hour of 100 rebuy with 5k chips and now I have over 30k. I went on a huge rush the last 2 orbits before the break.

first hand, standard, he should be shoving almost any 2 if not any 2.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1975622
2 hands later, the guy in the sb had been doing spewy stuff like that, even if he hadnt still very easy call obv
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1975627
2 hands later, I make a lil weak raise in mp and I think I get 3 bet pretty wide there so I shove and he insta folds
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1975636
and 5 hands later, I could 3 bet pre but Im deep enough to just call. I lead into him with my set because the board is so drawy and was glad I got raised.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1975649

Out of ftp 1k, guy makes a raise in mp i shove with 44 for a lil over 20 bbs and he has aq and wins. In the 100k I shove 3s when Im short and guy has kings gg me. Im cl of 100 rebuy. I 3 bet some dude with ak and someone behind 4 bets with a10 w/ no fe and I hold.Then later I 3 bet and utg raise with aa but I made it kind of small to try to induce a 4 bet. Well someone behind 4 bets like half his stack and I shove and he folds lol. I have 89k @ 500/1k and the itm average is only going to be 55k. like 40 people to go til money.

Out of everything except for the 100 rebuy. 20/21 I lost a big pot q10 vs aq on a queen high board where I payed off a river bet. I have 45k, blinds will be 2.5/5k when break is over. 1 double up puts me in top 10 stacks again. Most people are pretty shallow.

Just watched a movie and Im confused

2008-01-21T06:18:00.000-05:00

I watched "No Country for Old Men" and I have no idea what the point of the movie is. I guess I can see what it was about but, I really don't like movies like that.

thats about it lol

Worst mtt day ever...

2008-01-21T03:42:00.000-05:00

0/21 in mtts lol. Thats just redic. I put myself in really good spots to get a big cl a few times and in a few I did have a lot of chips but just couldnt keep any momentum going. Overall I ended up down $5246 in mtts. I then did a lil 3 hour sng session on stars. 60+114 turbs 16 tabling and made back $1482 which was nice I guess. I completely crushed the 100s that ran. My stats for that sng session are...

59 sngs played total, avg stake:$77, 22% roi for $1482
I played 33 $60 turbo sngs for a 5% roi and $99 profit
I played 26 $114 turbo sngs for a 47% roi and $1383 profit

The 1k ftp monday is tomorrow so Ill prob play some sats and hopefully get in. I went deep the past 2 times in it so a ft would be nice. Actually any cash in any mtt would be nice.

out of 100 re

2008-01-20T17:38:00.000-05:00

donk limps, some dude makes it 6400 from mp @ 800/1600. I make it 20k with 40k behind with qq on the button. He shoves for my stack I call. He has KK. sigh :(. Also tilt shoved a9 on a 555 board for 1.5x pot size and hit to double in 10 rebuy but Im still a little tilted. Only in the sun mil and 10 re now but sitting out of 10 rebuy. I need to focus and win something I guess.

out of million, out of 10 re, lost half my stack in ftp 1 million, guy makes it 165 utg @ 30/60, I make it 420 from the co. The flop comes 9-4-2 2 diamonds. checked to me I bet 625 into around 900. He makes it 1400. I shove he has 99. Turn is diamond but I miss on river.

Huge stack in the 7pm 109 fo. 4th/500 or so. I have a decent stack in 100 re and prob will be in for minimum again. I rebuilt in the ftp million and have a pretty good stack going into the 3rd hour.

Building the big stack

2008-01-20T16:23:00.000-05:00

Top 20 stacks in the 100 re. I have a 30k stack and the itm average is only going to be 50k so I'm looking pretty good right now. In the brawl I rebuilt a little but I'm still pretty short.

Out of ub 200k like the 2nd hand. aa<38 I guess. Still in 100 re w/ good stack. 45k @ 6/12 basically just making good steals in the right spots vs the right people. I don't think I've had to showdown a hand in a while.

fuck that

Sunday again! yay?

2008-01-20T15:35:00.000-05:00

Got like 4 hours of sleep and woke up for the Sunday Warmup. Busted from that and the 109 fo at 1pm. In the warm up I reshipped pf w/99 and lost the flip to ak. In the 109 fo I got it in with queens pf but the other guy had kings. Nothing I really can do. I am in for $300 in the 100 rebuy and I doubled my stack in the rebuy hour. In the ftp brawl I have a short stack after losing a big pot aipf 99 vs 66. He flopped a 6. I'm really bored because I'm only 2 tabling so I will probably post updates.

On a side note I like capitalize words at random and don't understand where apostrophes go. Yay I just won a flip in the 100 rebuy for a 12k pot. I also dislike that rebuy is not a word and this blogging thing underlines it every time I type it.

hhs from my ub plo session

2008-01-19T21:51:00.000-05:00

I guess this is a cooler. Im flipping with a lot of draws and Im ahead of a lot of 2 pairs.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1965124
60/40 pre, this guy was playing terrible. I mean calling with a shit hand oop but w/e he was the main reason I kept playing. When I got the money In I was a 51-49 favorite.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1965134
Prob supposed to fold turn, 60 fav pre, we chop 12%, 70 fav on flop and 30-65 with a 5% chop on turn when a lot of money went in.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1965157
Really the only big hand I won, perfect flop, I weak lead the turn hoping to get raised and it works. He gets it in drawing dead.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1965179

People who say I don't know how to play plo are wrong. The majority of big pots I play I am the favorite when the money goes in. The thing is I'm really like 70 or 60% favorites a lot of the time and those are spots you need to take. So the swings should be pretty big. But I probably won't be playing much plo for a while. I might try to get back on track for sne.

I am in 2 mtts tonight the 20 re and 100k on stars. Tomorrow I will probably play a full schedule of mtts. I have to go to a mass at 11am for my grandpas birthday who passed away a few months ago, but will be back for the Sunday Warmup on stars. I may or may not decide to do the 100 rebuys, but will be playing Both Sunday Millions, Warmup, 2nd chance, Mulligan, ub 200k, ub 75k, possibly the cake major and maby a few of the $100 fos because the fields are so big.

Might be positive who knows?

I then did a sng session. I started off just doing 60s but started adding the few $114s that were running. I pretty much crushed em. I was only 16 tabling this time because any more I feel rushed on my decisions. In total I played 80 making $992.

I played 66 $60s for $792 and had a 20% roi
I played 14 $114s for $200 and had a 13% roi

Another Negative day

2008-01-18T07:06:00.000-05:00

Its all PLOs fault. I dropped another 2 or 3k in plo. This time on UB. I did have an ok day on ap. I played 7 sngs before getting bored and the 9k $100 mtt. I only cashed in 2 of the sngs but both were wins and both were $215s. I played 1 other 215 and 4 $109s. I finished 2nd in the 9k tourney even though I should have won. 4 handed I had 50% of the chips in play and I'm pretty sure I was easily the best player there. I ran crazy good on ap because they love me. In one of the sngs I won I won 2 70-30s where Im the underdog and i won with underpairs aipf twice including the final hand where it was a 3 way aipf where my 9s? beat kings and A2. In the 9k mtt, my aj beat aq aipf even though the flop was Qxx. I backed doored running jacks. I also won 2 or 3 flips for my stack and I may have cracked a bigger pair but I forget. For 2nd I won $1800. Overall on the day I wasnt dont more then $500 I don't think but if it wasn't for plo Ide be up a few thousand. I might just drop in stakes or drop it all together. Its a swingy game and I want to play stakes over my br. Im down about 16k over the past week and 11k of that is from plo cash(i think its more like 13k but my last hand on ftp didnt import).

OMG WTF

2008-01-17T22:24:00.000-05:00

Ok in the middle of watching Juno and its broken down into like 10 parts. Im on part 9 and the movie is pulled for rule infringement. F that.

watch movies + 2 table

2008-01-17T21:40:00.001-05:00

Its better then 20 tabling I guess. This keeps me not bored but w/o having to rush to make 100 decisions a minute.

Still running bad at plo lol

2008-01-17T05:09:00.000-05:00

70% equity again sigh
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1952145
57-43 dog pre, 66 fav on flop
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1952180

dropped another 2k when I got my 2 pair in vs top set and nut flush draw.

I just added all my stuff up and Im down 16k since I won the 100 rebuy on January 1st. Still +10k for the year but thats just too sick. If only I could have won the stupid 150k tonight.

sigh fuck poker etc

2008-01-17T04:38:00.000-05:00

10th in the wednesday 150k. for pointless money AGAIN. Play perfect, Internet drops in the final 2 tables and I come back 6/10. The other table doesnt call all ins because they suck even though they get crazy odds and finish ahead of me. I pick up a hand in the sb and shove my k5 suited obv the bb has ak. Playing for the win sucks. It sucks that Im complaining on my first positive day in a while but seriously it sucks getting that far and winning relatively nothing. I close like a champ too, I just looked @ my p5s profiles and Ive won 8/29 of my fts. And Ive won 8/13 when I get top 3. Im just feeling sorry for myself but after being down so much and coming very close to breaking even for the past week. Also Im on the road to bustoing my stars roll. I have like 6k on there and I can spend like 1-2k in buy ins in a day so that wont last me long. I have like a billion dollars on stars so hopefully someone will want money on there for the ftops coming up.

Yay

2008-01-17T01:11:00.000-05:00

I just won the ub 20k bounty for 5800. The last time I won this tourney was December 4th. I also fted a $20 180 man on stars but got like $0 for 8th. I have a big stack in the stars $300 with 75 to go, first is like 48k.

Ship the 2007 stats

2008-01-16T06:38:00.000-05:00

I cant believe it but ap shipped me all of my 2007 stats. At the beginning of 2007 I had $352.04 and now I have more yay :). I heard things that ap didnt have records going back that far but maby those are just hand histories. Just emailed ub today and if they send me a spreadsheet I think taxes will be easy. Not that I know anything about doing taxes but it has to be easier then trying to recreate my 2007 history from memory. Wednesday is huge for mtts, Hopefully I won't be dead tired for the stars $300 and ap 1k. I will put in a full schedule unless if I fall asleep. I'm still awake and its 6:46 am and I have no idea if I plan on sleeping.

Meh

2008-01-15T23:51:00.001-05:00

-2k or so on the day didnt cash in the 1k.

Big chip stack in Stars 1k

2008-01-15T21:29:00.000-05:00

5/200 right now lemme ship it 1 time

Fted the ftp 30 rebuy but went out 9th netting me a $30 profit

In the ftp night 30 re and stars 50-50. I might do the night 50 re on ftp but unsure. Since I only am 3 tabling I will probably get bored and post more updates. I think I will just start to consolidate all my entries into 1 post and keep editing it, because I will end up having like 50 posts a day.

Like I said Im bored so here are some hands of significance in the first 2 hours of the stars 1k

This hand the first limper was playing so horrible and spewing a ton of chips I wanted to play a hand with him. Now that I think about it I probably should have isoed pre?
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1946134

Not really a big hand but w/e
The guy who opens is spewing chips too and was playing super straight forward but was being a huge station. He has called people down with like nothing but is only betting when he has something.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1946149

Pretty standard I can't believe I actually held it was a miracle
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1946158

Always nice to get lucky, he had opened a lot of pots from the button and co but I prob should have just folded because I doubt I had any fold equity. Thats usually a pretty strong raise. Obv because I won this hand it means I'm destined to win
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1946163

Omg Miracle

2008-01-15T18:54:00.000-05:00

I win 2 more seats making it 5 in total. But I played like 22 of em so I ended up getting the seat for 700 or so bucks. I should have won like 5 other seats but I run bad. I had like 2 or 3 minor suckouts(getting it in w/ 30% equity) But I def ran way worse then that. Aces cracked by 5s aipf, 10s cracked by 9s aipf, People deciding to call 10 bb shoves with 10-7. like wtf were the people thinking? Thats the number 1 reason I played so many is because the people are so bad. A lot of them are mtt players who dont play sngs so I really think I have a big edge over them.

<====
Theres the sharkscope graph from the day. Everyone likes pics so there it is

Won seat #1

2008-01-15T17:27:00.000-05:00

yay, just need to win like 5 more to break even :)

So I wake up and...

2008-01-15T17:13:00.000-05:00

decide to play every 225 sat to the 1k tonight. the 2 ive played I finished 4th in both. Lost a flip in 1 obv brutal because I flop top 2 and he hits a flush. Then in the other one some retard shoves 10-8 on a 776 board. I had j6 and insta call because of how he had been playing and obv the 10 hits on the river. Just shoved 66 in 1 and lost to qq. If I dont at least break even and I win a seat I think Ill have to take the $t. I mean I might end up spending 2k on a 1k seat at this rate.

Sigh running bad in plo too.

2008-01-15T05:25:00.000-05:00

In 209 hands Im down about 1300 at 5/10 capped plo. Heres some hands.

Get it in with 65% equity

Like the 1 hand I win
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1942613

Im still playing because the players are terrible so maby i can break even before I go to bed

edit: new hand I run good? Prob could pitch it pre but w/e. On the flop I was actually the favorite.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1942662

16th in the ftp 1k

2008-01-15T02:03:00.000-05:00

sigh made a pretty marginal shove with no fe with pocket 6s and lost the flip to JK. I really think It was pretty close and if I knew 15th got 1k more I probably would have folded. So close to being ranked lol I'm probably going to be like 100 points short when they add in my old ap scores. So if any ranked pros read this(doubtful) move me up your pro polls.

I think that score might have at least broken me even for the day. I'll add that stuff up right now I think. I still think I may take the rest of the week off. I might come on to do the stars 1k but who knows?

edit: estimating rebuy costs I think I ended up around $100 probably a lil more then that.

omg Im famous and I sucked out

2008-01-15T00:48:00.000-05:00

I beat ak w/ my aq aipf in the ftp 1k ship. Still short nearing the money bubble.

Then I look @ my ps 10 re chat and someone says im good so it must be true. No idea who it is but yay.

Im just running so terrible

2008-01-15T00:01:00.001-05:00

I win pointless coinflips but cant win em when they matter. I shove over a guy knowing he has any 2 on the bubble and people wake up with huge hands behind me. It has happened in almost every tourney today. I did cash in a 109 fo but for nothing. Still in 10 re, ftp 1k, ps 20 re, ub 30 re and a 109 fo. after these I think I will take a break until Sunday just to chill or w/e because I don't wanna burn out this early into the year. This was prob 1 of the only posts ive made where I complain I dunno when you play 20-30 mtts in a day you would think you would run at least normal for the entire tourney.

sigh running so bad

2008-01-14T21:26:00.000-05:00

I can't put anything together. I have only 2 cashes today for nothing in the 10 and 5 rebuys on stars. Still I'm about half way done with my tourney schedule and 1 final 3 could put me positive.

Just random info

2008-01-14T03:34:00.000-05:00

Its 3:34 am and I really have nothing else to do but post in my blog so I think I could very possibly end up being ranked by the end of February. I pmed Sandy on p5s who does the scores saying that my old ap scores were missing from my profile. I should have my 2nd in the 150k, a 30 rebuy win, a 20 rebuy win, along with other final tables there. This could potentially bring my plb score over 4k. So really It's 1 or 2 deep finishes in the 100k and I could be ranked. It shouldn't matter but it does to me because this was a goal of mine this year.

There may or may not be an sng challenge coming up hosted by someone on pocket 5s. I've really never committed to playing a lot of sngs at any point in my life. Even though I feel that I was one of the best sng players on ap(all the players are terrible) I still probably have played less then 1k sngs there. On poker stars my sharkscope graphs suck and I'm a losing player over like 100 sngs on ftp. The competition would be the most profit in a month in a given level of sngs. So I would probably do the 45-75 sng section or whichever one the 60 turbos fall under. I have only played 600 of those the past year but have done fairly well with a 5-6% roi. If I actually got motivated to play I probably could do 2.5-3k of those in a month while still playing the mtts I want.

It's kind of cool to think about it that all my friends are going back to college starting tomorrow while I'm sleeping. I really hope poker works out because I really don't feel like having to do any work. I prob should would on shipping a major or something so I can just chill for a while lol.

I think I could possibly be down around 10k the past week but I am still prob up over 20k this year. I really need to either do this sng competition to get some pretty easy money(from the sngs not the competition) or stop playing the 100 rebuys. It may have actually been a bad thing to have won the 100 rebuy early in the year because now I want to play it every day which may or may not be + or -ev. Even if It is +ev to play I probably don't have a huge edge so the swings should be that much bigger. I honestly haven't felt like playing too many mtts but I really need to start doing so because I really don't want to let my team down in the midstakes plb challenge. its pretty pathetic that I should be doing the best but have the lowest score on my team.

Tomorrow I will probably won't be waking up until around 3 or 4 pm so I think I will play a full schedule of mtts and hopefully sat in and win the 1k on ftp lol. If I dont win a sat in I don't think I will buy in even though I have like 20k more on ftp then I want. Luckily the FTOPs is coming up in half a month so maby people will want their ftp cash back.

Well Sunday Sucked

2008-01-14T03:17:00.000-05:00

Lol if anyone reads whats below but its really just recapping my downfall in the 200 rebuy. I just wanted to put it down and it should be pretty unreadable. The important thing that you guys should know is that I ended down $2915 in mtts. Im in a 5/10 plo game on ftp right now and am up $500 so maby I can get lucky and break even. Ok I ended up +200 because of a gay last hand. Some retard makes a $10 block bet on the river into a $300 pot. I have the nut straight but its on a paired board but I'm like theres no way he can possibly have a full house so I raise and he obv does have the full house. Maby I'm more retarded for raising, who knows? Also my hand histories werent saved for some reason from that session sooo I can't really put it in my plo pt. So for this Sunday I end down $2715.

After all my mtts I added up all my losses and I ended up down $2915. I guess it could have been worse considering I played both 100 rebuys and a 200 rebuy. In the 200 rebuy I got like 8 or 9bbs short and I shoved the button with 10-6 maby and was called by djk123. I obv beat out his AJ or w/e it was and doubled. The very next hand someone shoved mp w/ 5bbs and I isoed w/ A10 and won a flip vs pckt 9s. this gave me a pretty good stack. I really went card dead after that and I ended up raising from my sb w/ 34dd vs the bb who was only 10 bbs deep. I guess I could have shoved and I obviously could have folded but, I just didn't feel like walking him every round. He ended up shoving with k6 and I had to call I think. I lost and the very next hand I got KK aipf vs a shortys Q10ss. He hit his flush. I shoved 3 hands later with j9 got called with 10-10 I hit a jack. I get pckt kings like 20 times and everyone folds to my raises. Someone raised the button and I made a pretty small 3 bet trying to get him to shove over me but he didnt and called but c/f the flop. I ended up shoving Q10hh for 9bbs utg 8 handed which is probably a big spew w/ 30 or so left with 27 getting paid but I really wasn't getting any spots to shove considering people were raising every hand.

Out of the warmup and won like $500. I played the $215 or $216 hu matches and was against thorladen. I thought I was in control of the match the whole time but lost 2 flips which would have won it for me. I got my A8 in vs his 55? might have been 66 but lost. Then later I had Ak vs his JJ and lost. Then this was the final hand of the match.

Sunday again

2008-01-13T12:42:00.000-05:00

Well it's Sunday again and I'm well rested after sleeping through my alarm and thereby missing my hockey game. My past 2 Sundays I have gotten raped hardcore so hopefully I can win a major?
I am going to make a conscious effort to play every 5,400 fpp 10 man sat to the Sunday million that runs between now and the Sunday million. They are super weak and I think the fpps are betters used through these then purchasing bonuses. I have 48k fpps so I should be able to play a bunch of them. I am really hoping that I can freeroll my day through these or at least freeroll my day through the pokerstars tourneys.

I have been taking a beating through the 100 rebuys and have been spewing a bit in the rebuy hour so I think I will tighten up my game a little bit and decide to open raise instead of open shove lol. Also I've traded around 15k of my pstars roll to other people on other sites so I really am running short. Well not short short but 1 bad day could really hurt me there.

I was going to give up on trying to join cardrunners because they only take credit cards instead of paypal or poker account transfers but I decided to try my epassporte virtual card thing and amazingly it worked. Thats the 2nd time its worked for me. The other time was on duplicate poker which sucks. I watched some old ActionJeff mtt vids and some cts nl cash vids and I loved their thought processes and how they did their videos. Hopefully this means I won't be a cash donk forever.

My schedule will include most majors on stars,ftp,ub,ap, and I might do the $162 cake 100k. I probably will do the 100 rebuys again and depending on how I do in the fpp sats or early tourneys I might decide to do the 200 rebuy, but make an effort not to spend 2k in it lol. Tourneys are already starting wish me luck.

-3200 day :(

2008-01-12T06:01:00.000-05:00

Made about 600 in sngs but dropped 3800 in 5/10 -10/20 plo

I played poorly and I missed a lot of flops

Biggest pot of the day

I prob should just fold pre and I prob didnt have to stack off but I was a lil tilted at this point I ran the numbers and when the money went in I was a 42-58 dog. Pf it was literally 50-50.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1928826

2nd biggest loss in the 10/20 plo game

This guy had been playing pretty aggro post flop and I honestly thought he had nothing, maby I was just tilting but I really thought I had the best hand and I probably would fold vs most people.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1928824

I actually won a hand

I'm not sure if 4 betting pre is the best line because I think it really turns my hand face up. Luckily it seems a lot of people still call off w/ worse hands.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1928821

1 more big loss

Once again I might have misplayed this. Maby I'm supposed to check the turn here but I'm not sure.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1928815

Losing money :(

2008-01-11T18:26:00.000-05:00

Im probably down a few thousand the past few days which isnt really that bad. 100 rebuys are expensive especially when you can't win a flip. Anywho I'm prob up over 20k this year from my 100 re win which is nice. I haven't been putting in any volume lately. There is almost no chance I will get super nova elite unless if I start playing again. I probably could 20 table easily on my new computer but I just don't feel motivated to do that. I might take off until Sunday but I will probably put in a few sessions of cash or w/e. Last night I did a pretty full schedule starting at 9 pm.

I also played the ap and ub 30 rebuys. I did cash in the ap 30 rebuy but didn't win any money after being cl with 50 or so left.

I also reinstalled Poker tracker and got pt Omaha too. I put in a few hundred hands in 1/2 nl cash last night and a 60 or so hands of 2/4 nl today. Overall I got raped in the 2/4 game and pwned and luck sacked my way into some money in the 1/2 nl game.

I guess I will post some hands because Im bored

Biggest loss in the 2/4 nl game
Prob a big spew calling his re raise but w/e, When he checked the flop I kinda thought he might have AK or AQ just because he didnt cbet . In reality he probably had aces or something. I cant see him checking with JJ,QQ or KK but because I dont play cash maby I'm just retarded for thinking that.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1926873

Biggest pot won in the 1/2 nl game
I thought it looked like I was obv squeezing when I 3 bet AK here after the raise and the call. So I really thought he could be 4 betting light and I thought I might have fe vs some pairs like jacks or 10s.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1926891

Second biggest hand in the 1/2 nl game
I lead the turn because I think c/r just looks too obvious. Then I bet about the pot on the river to make it look kind of like a bluff.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1926907

Also I watched I am legend and I thought it was a good movie even though a lot of people don't like it. It was sad when the dog died :(

NEW COMP!! screen shot w/ 20 tables open, think of the possibilities!!!!
