UPDATE

2007-02-02T08:50:00.000-08:00

So I haven't written anything in a while. encountered a little streak of bad luck at 200nl so I moved back down to 100nl for a while. Although I might move back up or something at some point.I had about 1.5k in neteller when they died so im not sure if I will be able to get my money. I really hope so obv since that is a substantial fraction of my bankroll. That would be a pretty bad beat to lose

6 max

2007-01-14T10:43:00.000-08:00

I played about 1300 hands of 100 6max today and a tiny bit of 200 6max. I finished down about 1 buyin at 100 because of two stupid hands. The first was a $600 pot at 200 nl where we got all in preflop when he called my 6bet with TT. Obviously I had AA and he wins. Like 80% of the times or whatev I would be up $500 now. bah. Then the other dumb hand was where I triple barrelled some fool but he

Level up!

2007-01-12T07:26:00.000-08:00

I was dominating 100nl so much that I decided to move up a level to 200 nl. So far I have been doing alright at that. I only have like 3-4k hands so it isnt very meaningful, but atleast I haven't lost so much that I would move back down. 200nl is starting to get into the range that I consider pretty high stakes. Not in the sense that it is actually high stakes, but in terms of the amount of money

new house=good luck

2007-01-05T01:17:00.000-08:00

Got back to cali an the first day of the year and moved to my new house. Clearly this year is going to be a good one as I have started out running at 11.5 ptBB/100 over the first 4.3k hands. Today was prolly my winningest day to date at $872. I was going for the 1k in a day plan after I started out well, but I got tired before I could grind all the way there.

crazy

2006-12-20T21:45:00.000-08:00

Session 1: Short session in the early afternoon. I stop early cuz I am down 2 buyins and dont feel like playing anymore. It was really weird cuz I didnt get stacked once. I also didnt win a significant pot the entire time. I just kept having to fold to people who obviously had me beat. There were 2 people i think who ran the under appreciated c/c the nuts on the river. It's really

Big Day

2006-12-18T19:25:00.000-08:00

I am up $511 today. I think this is a personal record. And I only played like 800 hands today. Just run good. I also had the largest pot of my life and actually won it (unlike by previous best which i split). That hand as not really that interesting, just the standard set>set> shorty with TPTK. I've been running so good that i think I am rolled for 200NL now. Howev, I don't think I will be

The Comeback

2006-12-17T07:55:00.000-08:00

I've been playing 100 nl full ring recently. I guess it was kind a weird thing to do since I had been running bad at 50nl. I guess it was kinda silly of me to be playing 50 with almost enough money to be playing 200. So far I've only played about 1200 hands at 100 for a profit of 600. My sleep schedule is screwed up so all my sessions have been played at some weird time like 6am. It's not the

HU for brolls

2006-12-14T05:36:00.000-08:00

I dum so i wasted time instead of starting a session when all the retards were online. Then I didn't feel like playing 7 tables of full ring against all the same TAGs so I fired up some 6max. Basically that was dumb and I ran super bad. My table selection was really good though. 5 tables filled to the brim with retarts. The problem with those tables is that you actually have to make hands to win

move up, run bad

2006-12-13T03:12:00.000-08:00

Tried to move up to 100 nl and failed. -$200. But in reality it was a lot worse than that. It felt like I was running super bad based on the showdowns even though I wasn't losing full stax for the most part. There was a quads<>chop it and pay full tilt $3 for that excellent deal. Then somehow I managed to get stacked 3 times on super rediculous things. Like a retard opens for 6 BB from CO. I 3bet

Winter Break Update

2006-12-12T02:55:00.000-08:00

We are already 2-3 days into xmas break and I have busted out about 3k hands. I am running really hot at the moment at about 14.35 ptBB/100. So from when I went back to full ring I have been winning at a rate of almost 7 ptBB/100 over ~11k hands. This is pretty solid considering I broke even for the first 5k hands. I'm not sure how much rakeback I will be receiving because the full tilt bonus

Loose passive cant be beat

2006-12-09T23:58:00.000-08:00

To sustain that high of a winrate, you must play more hands.

9 players= so crowded

2006-12-09T05:48:00.000-08:00

So after losing a lot trying to play 100 NL 6 macks on stars, I decided to move to full tilt. I don't really know what my reasoning was because OBViously full tilt is rigged. I think I lost a little bit playing 56max and then decided to move back to fulll ring. I think ive made the most at 50 full ring out of all the games and levels I have played so i thought it would be a good place to make

oops i suck

2006-12-03T16:59:00.000-08:00

So i tried to move up to 100 NL yesterday. It didn't go too hot. I was down about 9 buyins at first. Then I played a little bit more and was up ~4 buyins. But then i made a mega dumdum call on for like 2 buyins. Then blahblah ended up down 8 buyins.i don't really think this down swing was related to me getting sucked out on a lot. In most of the big pots from my first session I got my money in

so much poker

2006-12-01T22:08:00.000-08:00

I think i think i played poker for more hours today than i ever have in a single day. 1,909 hands=>+$326. I don't think this breaks my Hands in a day record, but it took forev since i play 4-6 tables of 6max at a time. My motivation was to finish off that pokerstars $200 bonus. This bonus was a lot of work to clear at 50nl btw. So i finished the bonus and have worked my stars balance up to ~2.9k

6max doesnt suck sometimes

2006-12-01T11:49:00.000-08:00

Since full ring is dum i moved back to max due to it being more fun. Anyways I was/am winning good there now. From the start of T-day break until now I have been winning at a rate of ~30ptBB/100. This good winrate makes up for the fact that i dont play that many hands and allows me to still make money.Running this good makes me worried because i think it means that it is possible to run as badly

full ring dum as well

2006-11-22T07:39:00.000-08:00

Bah the swings in full ring seem to be the same as in 6max. I made like $210 at first. Then lost $250. Then I found a 91/15 fellow with $250 at one table. Naturally I ended up back at even. Then I promptly lost another $200. And its so fast too. bah.

pwning n00bs + pros

2006-11-21T16:33:00.000-08:00

Since I dislike all that variance of playing 6-max, I've moved back to full ring. I think I'm up like $210 today which is pretty solid. This is prolly an indication that i will be losing $200 tamorow. There was one hand where I stacked 3 fools at once.I was also playing soem $10 HU SNGs while i was waiting for the local eatery to open and I lost 4 in a row on redic bolagna. Luckily I was able to

i hate poker

2006-11-20T12:47:00.000-08:00

yesterday or the day before i ran super hot and won like $280. i start taday by winning like $80. then i lose this $80 and an additional $250. basically poker is retarded. i was in such a good mood and now that is ruined. i could have just sat there and read wy stupid book and been content but nooo i had to go think "oh i won $$ the other day, i must be poker master and have the ability to

Title

2006-11-16T06:55:00.000-08:00

I played some hands of 50 NL 6-max. I am up like 1 buyin which is pretty good since it is better than being down many buyins like some people. The thing I don't like about NL is that I always seem to have this inclination to keep bluffing people after they have made it obvious that they have a big hand. I think i managed to only do this once today and luckily i did not lose that much in the

I am now a Lvl. 2 Limit Poker Player

2006-11-03T15:00:00.000-08:00

I have barely been playing poker recently. This is because I waste most of my time instead of doing anything interesting, fun, and/or productive. I finally levelled up at the limit hold them challange. It took a grande total of 2130 hands at a winrate of ~6.8 BB/100. I think I succeeded at the end mainly because I hit a bunch of unlikely draws. Now I'm up $22 at .5/1 too. I think i need to gain ~

2006-10-21T03:25:00.000-07:00

So now I've played about 1k hands of .25/.50 limit poker and won about $45. This is a winrate of 8.8 BB/100 which is prolly not sustainable at limit although im not really what a good winrate is. I still don't really know what I'm doing at it, but it seems like other people have an even worse idea what they are doing. It seems like the most common note i am making on people is that they are

Limit Hold Them Challenge

2006-10-18T00:39:00.000-07:00

Poker has been boring recently because i cannot win in any form of poker. This combined with the fact that i do not enjoy losing money, has caused me to dislike playing poker recently, and thus i have not played very much.Henceforth, I shall be devoting my poker playing time towards a Limit Hold Them Challenge. The rules of this LHTC are as follows:-Start at .25/.50 with 125 bets ($62.50)-Move up

2006-09-30T00:11:00.000-07:00

So i hear they passed that bill to stop gambling on the internets. They should name this law "The Bad Beat Law" cuz it is pretty much a bad beat in law form. Im not sure what it means or when it comes into effect, but its def bad news.I haven't been playing much since I came back. In fact I need to play a bit before midnight tomorrow to even make it to gold star. Basically I deposited some money

more losing

2006-09-19T11:33:00.000-07:00

I haven't really been playing a lot of focusing on one type of game. I've played a little bit of full ring, a little bit of 6max, a little bit of SNGing, and some HU SNGs. Basically I suck at all forms of poker. Atleast I felt like I was playing alright when I was playing full ring, even though I still lost $$.I watched a bunch of GreenPlastic vids on cardrunners to learn how to play HU good. I

6 max

2006-09-14T22:35:00.000-07:00

I played more 6max today. I am really impressed at how bad these people are. I'm pretty sure the average 6max player at 50nl is much worse than the average full ring player. Basically, I was able to sit exclusively at tables with average VPIPs>40%. Fish with 80%+ vpip were common. Players got quite a bit worse during the night, but were still bad during the day.Playing against these fish is

lol jk

2006-09-12T22:34:00.000-07:00

Since my last post I have discovered that I actually suck at poker. This is pretty disappointing. Since my internship ended last Friday, I have been getting in 1500+ hands per day. So basically I broke even for like 5k hands, then dropped a bunch in a quick bit. I attribute approx one half to me being retarded and the other half to retarded things occuring. I had my largest loss in a single day

1300 ptBB/100 sustainable?

2006-09-08T22:33:00.000-07:00

Today I played 5 hands. Profited $198. I am awesome.

three betting is nuts

2006-09-06T00:48:00.000-07:00

Lately I have been three betting a ton. Everyone seems to assume that I would only be doing this with QQ+ and yet they still seem to call a lot. Their logic seems to be that nobody could ever fold a big pair on the flop so they just need to flop something big and they can bust me. In reality they rarely flop anything and just end up c/f'ing almost all flops. Plus when they actually do flop

Reached My Summer Goal

2006-08-31T20:24:00.000-07:00

I reached my summer goal of making as much at poker as I did at my summer internship. And yes, this was a paid internship. Hooray Money!All in all today I finished up $290 in a little over 800 hand of 100 NL. Yes, I realize that is still very few hands, but I am very lazy and stopped after I met my summer goal. I prolly should have kept playing as I had excellent position on this uber-60/5-donk

Motivation Shortage

2006-08-30T21:09:00.000-07:00

I made a little over 1 buy in at 100 NL the other day in only a couple hundred hands. Then I quit cuz I was content with the amount I made. This is kinda a problem. I would like to get mucho hands of 100 NL in to see where I stand and hopefully make some $$, but I keep wanting to stop once I win a little bit. I don't think the problem is that I consider $100 a lot and $50 a little. I think the

Poker Party at PartyPoker

2006-08-25T23:53:00.000-07:00

I've been playing a lot of 50 NL full ring recently and running pretty good I guess. Party had a $100 reload bonus that I busted out in a single session. I ran alright at 7.5ish BB/100 for a profit of about $100. I also had a 500 hand session on stars where i made a little bit. I made one mega stupid blunder. Dumbo open pushes flop for 5x pot on a dry board in a reraised pot. Initially I am quite

I Levelled Up

2006-08-23T21:14:00.000-07:00

I have finally achieved Silver Star.Today I started out with some SNGs. I won a little bit in my first set of seven at work, but then during my second session I got hit in the face with a big hunka bad luck. Or maybe I suck. Basically I could not win a race at all. KK vs KQ, KK vs QQ, AQo vs 63o???? Obviously these are bound to happen in SNGs when I play enough of them, but I'm pretty sure the

I am chilly.

2006-08-20T22:18:00.000-07:00

I've been playing cash games for a bit now. However, I now realize how foolish that was as they are impossible to beat. Basically I have spent the last couple days snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Some of the highlights have been getting all in on the flop with KTo on a flop of AQJr against J6o. Obv I lost but it was worth it because the expert opponent provided me with some valuable

Interpoker

2006-08-14T18:57:00.000-07:00

I'm clearing an Interpoker 100% up to $100. It is going a little slow because their software is pretty bad and it makes it hard for me to multitable. That and there are not really enough people to have that many tables. So far I am up $150 + $13.5 rakeback + $24 of the bonus. I think I have been running pretty hot at it, but it could also be the fact that the players are really bad.I think I

6max is good, party is not

2006-08-13T03:42:00.001-07:00

I've been playing more 6max lately than full ring. Mainly because it is more exciting since I can raise with bad hands a lot. I can def see why a lot of people like it over full ring. I think it is def a more efficient way to drain a donkey of his money too. After about 6k hands at 25 NL i am winning at a rate of 13.5 ptBB/100 which is prolly still too high. It would def be much harder to 8+

6max is good, party is not

2006-08-09T14:44:00.000-07:00

I've been playing a lot of 25 NL on Stars to get enough $$ to move back up to 50. The problem is basically that I am playing a lot of hands and not bringing in very much $$. I think I may be in the negatives for stupid 25 NL. I dunno how this is happening as I used to dominate this rubbish at like 10 BB/100.I think one problem may be that I am too willing to get all in with overs. I have been

bah stupid poker

2006-08-08T10:57:00.000-07:00

So I started out pretty good in the 16s, but then I started to have these weird swings where i would go 5 OOTM, and then dominate some to make back the money. It was way bigger swings than I had experianced in the 6.5's so it worried me a little bit. So I went back to the 6.5's for a bit. This time though I figured I'd try to play a bunch of tables like 13 or so. I didn't start them all at once

back to SNGs

2006-08-03T23:35:00.000-07:00

Just like a lot of times in the past when I ran bad, I have fled to the land of SNGs where I hopefully can't lose money as fast. I think I've played about 100 of these Stars SNGs and done pretty well. The Stars structure is pretty different than the Party structure and I think it seems to work out much better for me. It seems to take quite a bit longer before you get to the point where the BB is

Stars is rigged

2006-07-30T21:50:00.000-07:00

I can't stop losing on Stars now. Must be rigged. I was able to predict my bad beats before they even happened. Things like straight over striaght, KK vs AA pf, top 2 vs set, losing 3:1's oh ya know the usual.I was up like 150 from the initial 500 I put in, but now I am down to 495. bahbahbah. I don't really wanna bother dabbling in 25 NL. I wanna hurry up and get enough money to start

goodbye Party, hello Stars

2006-07-29T22:20:00.000-07:00

I haven't been playing SNGs much anymore as I am still uncertain as to whether I am winning or losing in them and either way I am not making a ton. Mostly I have been back to cash games. I was going to move up to 100 NL, but Party decided to wreck those stakes with its MONTROUS RAKES. This prompted me to switch 500 from my account into stars. Hopefully I will build my stars roll up to enough that

Party is re-TAH-did

2006-07-25T22:04:00.000-07:00

1)First this monster thing is stupid. These foolish promotions are a waste of time and they are an inconvenience to me if i wanted to play some cash games. I would much rather they just add more reload bonuses.2) They renamed all the speed SNGs "Speed" rather than like "Speed table 24563543". This is really dumb because it messes up poker tracker and SNGPT can't find the hands I want to review. I

I am warming up to SNGs

2006-07-22T20:40:00.000-07:00

So far this weekend I have made $157 at SNGs for an ROI of ~+33%. This is a very small sample so it may be that I am just on a super roll and my true ROI is still crappy, but I hope not. I have changed my strategy slightly so hopefully this is the cause of my success. Basically I am making a couple more steals earlier, altering my play slightly to accumulate more chips with 5 left, playing a

50 NL Domination

2006-07-19T21:23:00.000-07:00

I've gotten kinda tired of playing things where I don't really know what I am doing recently so I taken a trip back good ole 50 NL full ring. One thing I learned from my hours of browsing 2+2 at work is that they all seem to say table selection is really important. Up until now I have pretty much ignored this due to laziness. My reasoning was that I wanted to get good enough that I could sit down

poker at work

2006-07-18T06:33:00.000-07:00

So I went back and tried to play more SNGs. They are dumb though. I think I have just given away more money at them. They are impossible to beat.I finally figured out how to register my laptop on the wireless network at work. I thought I might have to actually provide a reason for wanting to use it, but I didn't even have to interact with another human being. Anyways it all worx now so I can

omg i quit SNGs

2006-07-12T03:43:00.000-07:00

I am fed up with stupid SNGs. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong at all. SNGPT says the things I am doing are correct almost every single time and yet i am still running at -6 ROI over 205 stupid things. UGGGG.Plus I dislike the infinite bad beats that seem to occur in SNGs compared with cash games. Btw, AQs is the worst hand evarrrrr. If it is dealt to you, it automatically means that the

still figuring out SNGs

2006-07-09T04:00:00.000-07:00

I'm still not doing so hot in SNGs. I had a goal to play 150 of them this weekend, but I don't think that is reasonable now as it is already Sunday and I've only done like 75. So far in 175 SNGs I have lost $75. This is not a very good winrate. However, I do think it is sustainable.I got SNGPT to learn about this bubble stuff. I think I started losing right after I got it because people in 10+1's

i suck at SNGs

2006-07-07T03:25:00.000-07:00

I lost a bunch of SNGs in a row yesterday so I was thinking of buying SNGPT to help me suck less. I told myself if I won the next one then I would get it. So i won and bought it. It's kind of interesting the stuff it says. I think people in 10+1's seem to be pretty loose in their calling standards so I need to push a lot less when there are a lot of people to act after me. It also helped me

back to SNGs for a bit.

2006-07-04T03:13:00.000-07:00

I screwed up two times kinda bad at 50 NL and got stacked both times where I should have avoided it. This made me want to play SNGs for a bit since I can only lose $11 per bad beat there. Well maybe if you count beats that take you from 1st the 2nd would be a $30 one, but still less than $50.This time I decided to play speeds instead of the regulars so I could get more in. I played 42 of them and

Revenge is sweeter than life itself.

2006-07-03T03:49:00.000-07:00

Two days ago I went on a super hot streak and made like 4 buyins in under 350 hands. Then in my session this morning I was ahead a little after about 500 hands. Within 100 hands I was down like 2.5 buyins. UGgg. To all sorts of rediculous stuff like 3 outters, quads, all the good stuff.Anyways this one d00d does something stupid and end up sucking out and I get really mad at him. This is pretty

OMG BIG CHEATS

2006-06-30T02:50:00.000-07:00

There was this fool who was cheating maaaaaaaaaad. He kept disconnecting with some marginal hand when there was a bet to him. Ex. I flop top set and bet into him, he disconnects with a gutshot and takes two free cards. Don't play with Bobbis222 evarr. Luckily for the rest of the pokurr community, I alerted Party that he was running the big cheats, so hopefully he will get The Boot.Today I won

6max can be frustrating

2006-06-27T22:17:00.000-07:00

Ugg I keep having session of 6max where I quickly stack a couple people and then grind my way up a lot with tons of cbets and 2nd barrels etc. I barely ever reach a showdown cuz at an average table of 6max there are more weeks than a calender month. (harhar play on words cuz weeks sounds like weaks) Usually I am up like 3-4 buyins and then I start getting stacked on stupid things like 3-outters.

IRL pokurr

2006-06-26T02:42:00.000-07:00

OMG so funny. So i went over to play pokurr at my friend's house with people in real life. There was actually one kid i meet there who was pretty good. He plays online etc. prolly similar to me in earnings but i think I know more than him cuz i see things he does wrong. However, he is pretty good at reading people.Anyways, the point is that it was hilarious. In one hand it is checked to a d00d on

6 max

2006-06-25T01:53:00.000-07:00

I watched a video from 2+2 of this guy playing 6 max and it was really useful. I think it helps show what to do in a lot of these little situations that often come up but people rarely discuss. Anyways, this inspired me to try some 6max again even though past attempts have gone poorly. This time I felt like I had a much better idea of what I was supposed to be doing.I was on a bit of a roll today

um hi

2006-06-24T14:16:00.000-07:00

Cash games have been going alright. I think that I am playing pretty consistently now at 50 NL and the way I play seems to be winning. However, I suspect the way that I play is still really bad and I'm not sure how to go about correcting it. Like there are a lot of little decisions that should be really easy that I am not sure about. If I bothered to write them up on 2+2 people would be prolly be

ups and downs

2006-06-22T01:07:00.000-07:00

I was doing pretty good at cash games for a bit. I seemed to be winning almost all of the times i was all in. I think I was up like 400. I also got to the 2nd to last table in an MTT, but this is worthless.Today I think I was playing pretty good in the cash games, but I am down about 100. I think I made some good lay downs like one where I laid down my JJ on some raggedy flop where normally I

No more SNGs

2006-06-18T21:00:00.000-07:00

I've been playing a bunch of SNGs recently. Well not really a bunch, but some atleast. I was doing alright with an ROI of like 15% ish at the $11 ones. Then today I lost a bunch in a row cuz of a variety of things. I decided to give up on these things for a little bit and go back to cash games.I think I was playing the end parts of SNGs more acceptably now. Although it prolly wasn't good, I

mixin it up

I was playing a lot of cash games before and I randomly decided to mix it up and play some SNGs and MTTs.I suppose the main reason I want to play MTTs is that I already read TJs book and HOH so I wanna try those ideas out. I almost made the final table of one of them, but I died on a coin flip 13th. I think I might have finished in the money some other times but nothing noteworthy. When I am

I had too much money anyways

I tried to move up to 100 and failed miserably. I think I lost about 450. Apparently I am not capable of winning a hand in stupid 100. I lost big hands when my straight lost to another straight, my flush lost to another flush, my boat lost to another boat, my AK lost to KQ on a board of K33, and my boat lost to flopped QUADS. bahbahbahOther than being incapable of winning of a single hand, I

I played a bunch more 50 NL and got my way up to 1500. Hooray!I think I have been doing well enough at 50 NL that I should try to move up to 100. I've been winning at a rate of ~4.8 BB/100 for 20k hands. I'm not sure if that is good or bad, but I'm pretty sure it shows that I am consistently winning. I have more buyins for 100 than I did when I tried to move up to 50 NL, so I should be good

more cash games

2006-05-26T05:28:00.000-07:00

So I went on a little bad streak for a bit and my bankroll dropped from ~1300 to ~1000. I think I got frustrated at some point and started playing worse. Luckily today I went on a roll and made it back up to 1250. I was all the way at 1350 going into the final orbits, but those stupid things always kill me. Somehow I get bad beat on those stupid hands more than any other time. This time I lost on

My gawd how the money rolls in.

I've been running pretty well at cash games. Over the last 4k hands i have been winning at a rate of ~14.5 BB/100. I seem to keep getting lucky on things. Like tons of AA and people hitting their A-high flush right when i build my boat. My roll is at 1220 now after I take out the 500 i put in there for the deposit thing. Apparently I gotta wait a week to get some party points off it too. Tonight

Deposit Bonus thing

So I finally went through that whole process of verifying my bank acct to the party thingy. People working at my bank are really dumb, which makes me glad that i trust them with all my monies. I called the d00d and he is trying to ask me security questions to verify that I am the owner of the acct. The first thing i say is "Hi, I need to know the amounts of the last two small deposits made." He

I made it to one kilodollar. hooray!!! Yeah I'm on such a roll. I keep getting A's, K's and Q's and then get paid off by slightly crappier hands. Or someone will push against me when i have quads.I keep quitting when I win a bunch of money. That Caro fellow says it is dumb to do that because when you win lots of money it is usually an indication that the game is more favorable and that you

So i played a 500 hand session of 50 NL where I made an astounding profit of $10. It was a really boring session. There was pretty much only one exciting hand where I flopped top 2 pair with KJ and stacked a tiny stack who had TPTK. I was up like 50 until the end where a couple weird things happened where i had to fold good hands. ugg. I think I play worse when there is a lot of money in the pot.

MTT Madness

2006-05-07T21:03:00.000-07:00

So I played in 7 more of these $11 MTTs. I finished ITM in 2 of them making a profit of about $20 I think. One of the other ones I was pretty close to making it ITM. There was about 20% of the field left and my stack was about 1.7x ave. Then in 3 big hands I died. First I doubled up some d00d with a set over set. Then I doubled up another d00d when he pushed his flush draw and I had a set. Then

Maaaaaad Cash Games

2006-05-06T01:24:00.000-07:00

So Jason told me that cash games are generally easier on Friday nights cuz of mad drunk peoples. So I decided to venture back into 50 NL for a bit again. I dunno if it was the masses of drunken people or just good luck, but I was on a roll today. In <650 hands I got AA seven times and KK four times. Overall I made about $146. Hopefully there will be masses of drunk people tomorrow too!

2006-05-05T19:20:00.000-07:00

I played three $11 MTTs today. In the first one I died really early. AKo does not seem to work that well for me in these things for some reason. Anytime i get that hand my first thought is "oh man Im about to die." Anyways this dude called my raise with JTo, flopped a stright draw and called a bet of like 3/4th pot, then hit his straight and then BAM i have no more chips.In the second one I sat

More SNGs

2006-05-03T20:53:00.000-07:00

I played more SNGs today. About another 20 or so. I think I am down a bit on them. I got 4th in 4 of them ugggggg. This last one i had a mucho grande stack when it got down to 4 players cuz I started out the tournament by BUSTing 3 fools on one hand. AA vs KK vs Q6o?? vs A9o??. So i was doing pretty good at stealing a bunch of blinds from these people, but then in two quick hands two of the

SNGs

2006-05-01T13:59:00.000-07:00

Since I recently lost a bunch of my dollar collection playing stupid 50 NL, I decided to switch it up for a bit and play a bunch of SNGs. I kinda like SNGs because they are more exciting than cash games. Like in cash games I am never excited that one of the other players went busto, but in SNGs I can just sit back and let the other players bust each other. Anyways I played 20 of these $11 thangs

2006-04-30T04:00:00.000-07:00

So I played in an $11 MTT and died 14th out of 751. I guess that is alright since I still make like 70ish on it, but it was really close to all the really big monies. I don't really remember losing a ton at once on any particular hand. It was more like over a long stretch my stack didn't keep up with the blinds and stuff and eventually i had a small stack. Then I ended up in this situation

heyheyhey. I'm Bruce and i play pokurr. Occasionally i do the whole classwork thing for college too. I started a couple months ago. I plopped about 100 into Party and started out by some SNGs. Then i found out that apparently those are bad or something so I switched to full ring 25 NL. So I worked my roll up to about 500 at that. Then I tried to move up to 50 NL. My first try didnt go so hot cuz
