New Years Eve Shenanigans

Had a bit of a session tonight in the mtts

Played:
$11 Deep Stack $10k gaurenteed 733/1459 ;(
Daily $$ 701/3046 Lost a 40k pot aipf with KK v AK then had my 99 counterfeited on river to lose
Early Double A 344/1071
Early Double B 261/856

$3 rb $50k g on stars 2357/4236 APIF AK v AQ :(
$5 hu WTA - 17th - ill do a report on this

$4 $2k g on stars KK loses to AK again

then played 3x $2.20 turbos
150/180 AA loses aipf to 56
150/180 (spooky) AQ loses to 66
3/180 for $42 and change!!

Heads Up Winner TAKES all

i only lasted 2 rounds but noticed how soft this really is

Round 1

the first player last 56 hands, and altho running hot with AQ, AJ, JJ, JJ consecutive hands i had already chipped away at him and managed to close the deal. Found aggression was the best way forward in this so i continued that into.....

Round 2

played a guy called RedFishButt who was nothing short of awful!
managed to chip him down to 900 chips only to get it on with j6 on a j68 board, he had j8 and crippled me
i then woke up with AK aipf vs his JT. board ran out xQxAK, so runner runner sent me to the rail. :( :( :(


180man turbos

after running pretty poor in these i got another FT which i took 3rd, my ROI is now breakeven at this level and i can start to look forward to some serious monies.
3 handed i jumped from Cl to 3rd and back, withthe blinds soo high its a case of raising and bettin flops, hoping they havent connected with your opponanat,
sadly the guy that knocked me out was just open shoving EVERY hand since he was CL after the 5th time i called with QJ, and he had A9. no help for either of us.
really gutted as my ROI woulda been huge if i had taken 1st or 2nd, but at least now i can concentrate on volume and the odd top 3 finishes will make up the shortfall.
I now realise that your aim in these is to merely breakeven and then the odd top3/4 finishes will be where the profit is seen. Knowing this is fine as i have maged to do so with the worst cold deck ive seen in months, maybe years for me. Hopefully that has gone.

Lastly i wanted to treat myself to the Stars Asia Poker Tour/Ept zippie which can now only be brought in the fpp store for 8700fpps in an ept goodie bag. since i only had 3k in fpps i have decided to invest them in the 6 man 280fpps 500 chip tubos.

These are great bankroll boosters and although i only have 30 fpps left my results are the following:

6 handed 280fpp sngs (sat into the sunday $11)
1st = entry
2nd = entry
3rd = 280 fpp

played 9
won 5 seats ($55 tournament dollars)
3rd - 1
4-6th -3

so basically added $55 to my roll

obv atm i am a bronze star so earn them as slow as houses especially only playin small stakes atm but with the new scheme in 2010 and the volume i will be puttin in, i think i will probably use these.

But i will save up 8700fpps for that goodie bag!

How am i not tilting?!

played a cheeky session of 5 more tonight and got deepish in all
finished:
78/180 - K6 v 73hh, all in on a flop of 966 (2 hearts) he hit
48/180 - KK v AK aipf Ace on turn
29/180 - AA v QQ aipf Queen on river
19/180 - QQ v A9 aipf - Ace on flop, then JJ v A3o , makes low straight (aipf) BUBBLE
16/180 - AQ v AJ aipf - jack on turn

Man when my shit as luck disappears i will be cruising these, and i think thats why im not tilting as i see myself edge closer to the $100 starter mark. I honestly can see a string of FT's once this curse is lifted.

All i gotta do is make sure i sont abuse it and play worse, as my spots that im picking are good, and im just losing 80/20's like there 20/80's

Just tralled through PT and seen that:

won 37% of coinflips
won 62% of overpairs vs underpairs

now that is running:
-11% on races and
-18% on overs v unders

imagine how many more cashes and huge chipstacks i woulda had!?

hope it settles down and i see that extra almost 30% of varience go my way, well tech 60%!!!

$$$$$$$$$$$$

Lil Update

About 8 buyins down on the $2.20 180 mans atm, which sucks but i cant complain too much as not once on the last 20 games have i put my money in behind, just had 2 and 3 outers hit against me time and time again. When varience catches back up with me i should run uber hot.

can definatly see an ROI of 20% being acheivable once i stop running like poo.

ROI means nothing until i start uping my volume as all i need is 2 fts and itll sore!
if i win the next one my ROI goes form like -17% to + 137% lol

back a couple of top 3 finsihes and fml ill be screaming,

really confident these will help my cause.

Gonna play the following till end of jan:

200 180 man $2.20 sngs - aiming for 20% ROI = $88 profit
100 90 man $3.25 sngs - 20% ROI = $65 profit
100 45 man $3.25 sngs - 20% ROI = $65 profit
50 18 man $3.40 sngs - 10 ROI = $17 profit
50 9 man $3.40 sngs - 10% ROI = $17 profit

total of 500 games and hopefully about $250 profit in total

In order to acheive this i have to be strict with myself and play o the following guideline,

Midnight Sunday 3rd Jan - completed 75 x 180 mans
Midnight Sunday 10th Jan - completed 150 x 180 mans
Midnight Sunday 17th Jan - completed 100 x 90 mans
Midnight Sunday 24th Jan - completed 100 x 45 mans and 20 x 180mans
Midnight Sunday 31st Jan - completed 50 x 18 man and 50 x 9 man and 30 x 180 mans

180s

played a session of 10 this morning, still left in 1 but the other 9 have been painful

here are my exit hands

KK V A5
KK v QJo
JJ V A6
QQ V 88
AK V 33
89s v 44
AK v A8
AA v K3o
AK v 77

all in all ive put myself in 2 races and lost, plus the other 7 i have been huge fav and not won one!!!

this is gonna be very swingy, but if i dont cash in this last one that means ill actually have a negativge ROI lol

i know a 20 game sample is nothing and i will plough on as vairence soon is gonna kiss me nice, as im generally putting myself in at 65/35 minumum - soon i SHOULD see the benefits and have a hot ass streak!!!

yes please

180 man sngs on Stars - Step 1 - $2 danger

played 10 of these tonight in 2 blocks of 5 and quickly learn you need to get used to bad beats lol

exit hands included
AK V AJ
AK V KT
66 V 55
AQ V Q3

lolaments!

deffo think these will be a decent little earner for the challenge

Cureently i have played 10, cashed in 2, both FT finishes (4th and 7th)

and have a ROI of 88% lol, now obviously thats not sustainable but i think a 20% roi is probably achiveable.

20% would mean i would need to earn on ave $4 every session of 10 games, which is cash in 1/10 games pretty much

if i can maintain 20% ill be chuffed and means i can move up tp the $7 180's in approx 1500 games lol

need to be playing a minimum of 100 a week, as thatll take me to late march, leaving only 9 months left in challenge! Just have to hope i can hold a 20% roi in the $7 dollar ones as well.

Being brutally honest, the $2 require no real thought as its push or fold, for the majority.

Im looking into treating myself to a 19-22" 2nd moniter, so i can multitable more tables, as volume in this challenge is really key - and concentrating not really required espec at $2 level.

i could quite easily 12 table then whereas at the mo im 5 tabling on one moniter.

Things are looking a little more structured now, in stead of just regging for whatever and trying to score big,

I know my big mtt cashes are coming as i am always hanging around the bubble, one time ill run a hot deck, one time.

Really confident now

MrSparkle (Dann)

Gl Stato_1

Just a quickie to say gl to Stato_1 who is currently 7/24/2491 in the $33k gaurenteed FullTilt KO tourny (1st is $10+)
and
2/23/630 in the Stars $50k gaurenteed, with $17k for 1st

2 final tables please!

ill be up grinding these $2 180s and railing hopefully 2 FT's

Tonights Action

Played the Daily Dollar again on Full Tilt but never got going and eventually busted in the middle of the field.
Span my last $14 in $27 to play the $32k gaurenteed, $26 entry on tilt with the last of my roll. Silly i know but felt good.
Nursed a shortstack for a long time, 189 got paid with 1600+ runners
i got deep AGAIN and bust on a cold deck tbh
Exit hand was Q7 v A7 on A Q 7 board. i finished 326th so not far from monies again.

Also with the challenge have been speaking to a few good friends of mine, stato_1 and 147_star, reg what to play.

decided to play a set of 5x $2.20 180 man sngs on Stars.

they are basically shove or fold games but very soft and stato_1 reckons i could realistically jus tplay these and move up levels when rolled and make the $8k quick.

I do know there are leaderboards on sharkscope for these so i have now an aim. to get on that leaderboard for the micros atm

the 1st 3 i finished in last 50 players, but then made 2 FT's finishing 7th and 4th for a grand total of $41.40, so $30.40 profit., atm thats a huge roi!!!!

these are definatly worth a grind, and easy to multitable as there are no real decisions.

Sadly Tilt is empty but i have enjoyed the tournys there so will prob use Jans deposit to put a lil on there to play the Daily $ when i can.
Yes its full of idiots but 1st prize is always around the $1k mark and deffo +EV

Double Edged Sword


Finally got through a bubble, in the cashout tourny however actually won less than my buyin lol

won $9 and it cost me $11 to enter.

When the bubble burst i had a cashout value of about $40 and due to the challenge i was thinking about cashing out, leaving myself a miniaml amount of chips to gamble with.
Say cash out $37 worth and then play on with shortstack, worst senario is i get another $8 for cashing anyways.

As i thought this that BITCH with 41k in screen shot was a shortstack and shoved. i had AJdd and called. She had AQ.... :(

Then about 5 hands later i have Jacks in BB
She raises, i repop and she calls
Flop J88
All money goes in
She has 88!!!

So although i cash, my cold deck continues


Other updates, i did actually play the $24 HU $4K gaurenteed as there was an overlay!!!
Stupid i know
I lost 1st rd with 77 v AK - Board ran out 9 3 8 9 8 grrrrr sooooooooooooo SIICCCKKKKKK

BTW poker is definatly retarded and i have more swings than a peadophiles playground!!!

Fact

Another Bubble!


As title says - also if u look at bottom of names youll see my mate steve did too lol!

He is 8SL2

im currently in the Cashout and bubble is upon us..... wish me luck

Merry Fuckin Xmas Part 2

out of daily dollar with 77 v 88 on A78 flop!

also in tilt i have regged in the Daily Double A + B ($12) and the Cashout ($11) - wasting more of my roll.

If i dont cash in any of these it'll be my longest ever run without cashing (21), although all the tournies im playing atm have redic amount of runners

Realistically i need to stop worrying about running bad, and the challenge and keep my weekly goal on the cash table and play a share of micro mtts when permitting.

By end of Jan i want to have started a roll on PartyPoker as it seems Ubersoft.

From xmas to new year i AM gonna play:

NL10 Tilt - 2000 hands
NL10 Stars - 2000 hands

Play some 90 KO sngs on filt ($3.30) as you get monies for eliminations as well (0.50c)

ill still play the DaiLY $ and a llow $3 a pop at it, solely as a deep run would be $$$$$$$

Merry Fuckin Xmas

$5, $20k gaurenteed on Stars aipf AA v AQ flop QQx

$2 turbo $8k gaurenteed on Stars aipf AK v A6 - 6 on river obv

$4 stars tourny - KK v QQ xxxQx

In the Daily Dollar again on Tilt, for 3rd succesive day. Already bought in for $4 when my AQ walked into AK on a AKQ flop

hmmmmmmm

Roll on 2010

Challenge Update

Current Rolls

Stars - $179
Full Tilt - $90
Live - $48

Running Total = $317

took a chance last two days playing 10 mtts for ZERO return, d'oh!!
pissed away $60 which is a redic % of my roll. Honestly cant do this if i am to be succesful.
Then again if i had cashed a few or FT'd one then i would say it was a great risk.


Im disappointed as i promised myself id play 1000 NL10 hads both today and yesterday and i have played a grand total of............................................0

Really wanna be at $500 online by NYE.

MTT's FTL

Bubbles the Daily Dollar for the second night running
finished 590/4134 with 450 paid, yesterday i finsihed 502nd lol

Hadnt played a hand for an hour and 3 bet with KJss with my stack (13k @ 500/1000/100)

got called by AJo lol Good call!!!


MTT issue

Played about 10 mtts after a huge stint of cash and not cashed in one!!
However i have bubbled 4 of them (by bubble i mean in 5% before monies)

This always seems to be a problem of mine, and results in even when i do cash its not as uberdeep as it should be. I think i have realised why and have tried to fix the leak, but it still happens.

Obv 10 mtts isnt enough to go by as a sample but hopefully this will be fixed in near future

Fuck Stars IMO

out of $3 rb

had a 11k stack and then lost most aipf QQ V KK

then they move me table and get this back to back

Fuck My Luck

Well i just finished my sic horrible session a grand total of $130 down leaving my roll at $114

All the hard work for December gone, which sucks ass

as i am aiming high and wanna really get out of uber micro stakes asap i have the following setup

$100 - $250 = NL10 X 4
$250-$500 = NL10 X 2, NL25 X 2
$500-$750 = NL25 X 4
$750-$1000 = NL25 X 2 NL50 X 2

problem with tonights session is i started BADLY and tried to play catch up until i was right back to where i started!!!

Missus is going away for xmas on tuesday so will be hammering in the sessions in the evening

Aiming to get a shedload of hands in at NL10 (Again) with the following schedule.

Sunday night - 1000 hands minimum along side the FTOPS Main Event
Tuesday Night - 1000 hands 4 tabling NL10
Wednesday night - 1000 hands
xmas eve - the same
Xmas day - the same
Sunday 27th - 1000 hands minimum

so thats a projected 6k hands before end of the month so hopefully i can rectify my nightmare tonight.

Still aiming for $500 before 01.01.10 but its doubtful

Good Evening and Goodnight

what a session!!!! :(


What a night!!! Just look at the graph


Played a heap of NL25 and just ran bad, time and time again.

Missus came home and told me to give it up for the night and i just couldnt listen.

Back to the start for me!

:( :( :(

Mini FTOPS

Tomorrow night the Mini FTOPS Main Event takes place starting at 10pm UK time

I have decided that i will play it and am ready for a LONG NIGHT, ship it!!!

If your on check it out, user id is s4ooter

Mutha Clucker

Only i can flop a set, get called with middle pair ai on flop for rnner runner hearts to hit me in the face?

22 v k4h on 2h 4s 9d

Scrummy!

Quick Rant

WHY DO I NEVER GET ACTION WITH AA, KK or QQ

AND ON THE ODD OCCASION I DO IT GETS BUSTED WITH JUNK!!!


...............................RANT OVER!

Downswings!

In the middle of a cruel session atm

down $70 with a roll at approx $170

3 tables of NL25 and had AA JJ JJ all cracked at the same time lol, hence MASSIVE downswing!!!

just gonna finish this session, go for a fag, and then back down to NL10 again till roll is at $250 :(

Oh btw AA was busted by 76o, JJ by AQ - Queen on turn and JJ by 99

<<<<<<<<<<< rUnS LIke A PaRaPlegiC!!

What to do with January's $$$$$

As of payday, xmas eve, i can deposit another 50pounds somewhere to help with the task at hand, now cant decide on which to do.

Option 1 - Put it in the live account ad use it possibly for the softy local games over xmas and jan period

Option 2 - Put it on Full Tilt to play the Mini FTOPS Main event ($50+5) on Sunday night, yes i know its a bit earlier than payday, but have been offered a 50% split with a v v good friend.

Option 1 is more goal orientated, whereas option 2 is more big score orientated.

If i do take option 2 i do have to work the next day which SUX, but i have got about 20 cans of Red Bull and lots of Coffee for the long night ahead.



As for the challenge, currently on $266 so not too bad with a week and a bit left for the month.
Pretty confident i can squezze up to $300 by end of year

Just looking forward to playin no more NL10 and have enough to happily take varience at NL25.

REGRETS - not playing many MTT's at all, just find the play sooo poor at baby stakes and it tilts me when u get it in sooooooo good, and lose soooo horribly!

Xmas List

My Xmas list this year is very very easy

Vicky Corens new book
Mike Matasows book
Betfair for dummies
Kill em all SNG strategy book

Thats all

Thank you!

Thats the way - Aha Aha - I like it

Played some NL25 as well as the NL10, only had time for an hours play after pool but after gettin AA busto by AJ aipf on NL10 table i started to run ok and ended up over a buy in up

Current Roll now $243.12

So starting to move in the right direction now, would be Super chuffed to reach $500 by 2010.

Gonna keep 4 tabling cash atm with 2xNL10 and 2xNL25 and play some HU $5 SNGS + MTTs up to $5

$5 double or nothings mayt come into play although not a big fan of these!

Happy Shipping

i spiked an A but river brought a K ;(

Dont mind this spot tho as the decent money is final table only!

Cash

Played 3tables of NL10 and was v naughty and played 1 table of NL100, shortstacking

What a pointless day!

SOOOOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!!!

Starting Balance $102

Closing Balance $102

NL10 - sucked today, lost a lot of flips and got my nuts cracked on more than one occasion!!!

NL100 - yea i got bored and shortstaked this a little, finished $20 down when my TT on T83 board got shoved on by J9 - river 7. Also had AA cracked by 66 aipf w00p

DoN - won 2 x $10 ones to get my roll back to where it started!!!

this challenge is gonna be harder than i thought, especially to get a decent roll started. Once $500 + it wil be easier!!!

at NL10 seem to loose BIG pots and win little ones!!!,

AND I NEVER GET ACTION WITH AA or KK, and when i do it gets cracked!

Swingy NL10

Up a buyin in nl10 in 100 hands and then this happens as a guy catchess a gutshot v my top set for a buyin on other table:

we start again ;(

Back on the Horse

Played the heap i mentioned on last post and struggled

played 4x $3 stts and didnt cash once! came 4/5/4/4 lol

but had a cash in a $3 mtt for a measly $8 and won a buyin on the NL10

all in all account balance is $112.

Waiting for my sofa to arrive today so will haveing a biggish session today, as will be playing from 12 until 6 uk time.
Gonna play a couple of mtts ($3/$2) but 4 table NL10 as im breaking that.

May try a couple of 180man $4 mtts once roll is at $200.

Sadly i dont get enough time to play as much as id like, but think atm NL10 will have to be my bread and butter until a decent win. Wanna move up to NL25 asap, when i have 15 buyins ill jump over probably.

Need really to play live as that'll build my roll up nicely. My 50 deposit will b used for live cash i thinks at t he end of december, gonna attempt to play a heap of 25p/50p at the Gala, as xmas pokerz is soft!!!!

Friday 4 December 2009

Need some stabilty!

Well over first few days i doubled roll by playin NL10 nad NL25 and running like god

Decided to grind cash and some micro mtts today and fell into doomswitch mode.

Bubbles the $3 6 max coming 243/2378 with 240 getting paid - aipf with ak va7

Then had AA cracked aipf 3x NL25 in 10 minutes by AKss, JJ and 44 - Lovely times

So roll is down to $108 now and back to square 1

I know NL25 was a silly sit but its soo beatable.

Gonna shoot up 10 x $3 sngs and some $5 HU sngs too as they are v soft, and try and play a few micro mtts tonight.

All the while runninf 3xNL10 cash tables in background

Onetime!

The Challenge is On

After speaking to a few friends about this blog (that i never update!) and my target goal of $4k, a few of my mates reckon that $4k is easy as its only really one MTT win away. lol

So they have bet me the following:

Turn $100 into $8k in 13 months

Now i HATE xmas, yes im a scrooge, but i hate it sooo much so the bet end date is Dec 20th 2010.
If i win, they each owe me 150pounds each (there is 3 of them), however if i lose they are allowed to a) decorate my house with xmassy crap inside and out
b) i have to cook them a xmas dinner, all the trimmings on boxing day next year.
c) i have to dress up as Santa, whether leaving the house or not, from the 20th Dec 2010 until 27th Dec 2010.

Now my missus is in on it so i cant just not do any of them, and as i hate xmas this should get me to maintain my focus.

Rules -

Starting Roll - $100
Depositing - i can deposit a maximum of 50pounds each month in my quest, however my finishing roll must be $8k profit, so these deposits must be deducted.
Sites - i can use any sites i want and roll is combined
Live Sattys - if i sat into a live event then this DOES count towards roll (ie i step up to UKIPT then the cost of package i win is included in my roll)
Any tournament $ i win DO NOT count and i must play them through.

Well update, as its day 3 of the challenge and the first time i loaded up Stars, and won 5 buyins at NL10 to get roll up to $150

Only $7850 to go!!!
