I won my first $4.40 180-man last night!!!

I've probably only played about 50 of them but I always run like shit and got to hating them. I know a lot of people that crush them and I know they are full of dead money but I just kind of avoided them. Well last night I_BLADE_U and JRoth15 were talking about playing one as we were railing an OT tourney. I said "f it" and signed up. Got off to a bad start and lost half my stack on the 4th hand. I was shortstacked the whole first 2 hours of the thing and was the shortstack when we were down to 8. Long story short, I took it down. I really think it was one of, if not the, best tourney I've played start to finish. I had a buddy upload it to PokerXFactor.

Check it out if you like. I think I played pretty damn solid. Might be good for some people who don't play many of them.

Found a nice little soft game

I've been playing the $3.25 six-handed SNG's on Poker Stars lately. They are rediculously soft. It's seriously a joke how easy they are. My results show that too. I've played 13 of them, won 6 of them and got 2nd place 3 times. 9/13 cashing, LOL. $42.25 in buy-ins, $89.10 in cashes for a profit of $46.85. That's like 110% ROI. WTF. Might not be substainable but I'm sure somewhere around 60-75% might be in these things, the play is that bad.



In other news, my company is doing catering and concessions in the plaza outside of the Super Bowl. I'm leaving Thursday morning to go out there and I'll be coming home Monday. I doubt I'll get to go inside the stadium or anything but we are gonna be catering to people in the hospitality tents and shit right outside. Should be fun.

Just a month ago I was sitting at #12. It's been a decent December and beginning of January for me. I'm starting to see some positive results from all the work I've been putting in. Shout out to threeven, sandler1860 and pokerjamers for helping me out with hand discussions and different things. My goal, although a little lofty, is to be #1 by the end of the year and crack the top 100 in the state of California. I feel like my early stage play and my shorthanded/end-game is solid but I really need to work on my middle stage play (bubble play up until the final table).

Doubled up my Poker Stars bankroll tonight!!!!!!

I've had between $100 and $200 on Poker Stars for a couple months now and had some good cashes on Bodog. I originally deposited $150 on Bodog during the summer, didn't play there much but ran it up to $1,000. I cashed it out with the intent to deposit it on Poker Stars. Well yesterday I deposited $100 of it (max amount for 1st time e-check users) and that put my Stars BR at $230. I played 5 tournies today and cashed in two of them for a total of $282. One of them being a 2nd place in the $4.40 [$1,000 guarantee] Limit hold 'em.

Goodnight

I told you that was all. GTFO.

Got my 2nd biggest online cash Monday night

I played 13 tournaments on Monday 12/4/07. 11 on Poker Stars and 2 on Bodog. I only cashed in one of the first 9 and was still in 2 when I signed up for the 9pm $5 on Stars and the $11 5k guarantee on Bodog. I cashed in both of these getting 148th of 1737 in the $5 on Stars for $11.29, and at the time I busted from that I had a really nice stack in the 5k guarantee on Bodog. Well, I ended up getting 2nd place in a field of 459 for $770! I was really bummed that I didn't win it because I had the guys number heads up. It was a really sick heads up match that lasted about 30 minutes with between 20 and 30 BB's total on the table. I had almost a 2 to 1 chip lead when we started. I chopped him down a little and then I got him all-in with 7-7 against his A-9. He hit 2 aces and took a small chiplead over me. I got the chiplead back after a few small pots and built it up agin to almost a 2 to 1 lead. I got him all-in this time with A-J against his K-Q and he hit the K to take the chiplead back. He took another good pot when I had A-A and he had J-5. Flopped a 5 and rivered another 5 and I paid him off a small river bet. When I was down about 4-1 and only had 6 BB's, I shoved with Q-10s and he called with K-9 and held. GG me. I was happy and sad at the same time. Happy I got my 2nd biggest online cash, but sad and deflated that I was a coin flip away from winning the tourney and $1,250.

Oh well, there's always more.

Yes, that's right. I said it. f beanie.
