SNG's

I played about 30 SNG's over the weekend and just made a little money. I played in about 10 Mtts and broke about dead even. Pretty even weekend. I am getting close to having my computer completed.

8th

I came close. A decent finish. It is hard to keep winning HU matches. I think I won 5 in a row. Came close, two more wins and I would have got 1st.



____________

I don't know If I will ever play a 1,2,3 dollar tourny again. I played for 4 hours and only made a 6 dollar profit. I played basically perfect poker the whole tourny and took two beats in a row to send me to the rail. had 90K in chips AQs vs K10 all in preflop for 50k each flop comes two Ks. A couple hands later I get AA push the last 50K of my chips and get called by 55 and 77. flop comes 2 2 5 and I am out. I am disappointed that hand couldn't hold. That would have made me chip leader down to 30 people.

First 100 $6.5 Turbo's



These are from 4 tableing. I played 13 today and got 5 thirds. I hate getting third!

Bluff Poker Tour

The Bluff Poker Tour is starting this Thursday. Make sure you are signed up. This looks like a good third season.

My computer stuff is making its way in. I got one of my monitors today. I have completed 75 $6.5 turbo's and am just slaughtering them at a 50% ITM and 45% ROI. I will post my stats after each 100 I complete. I have been 4-tabling, soon I will be able to 8-table and hope I can maintain the same ROI. I will play 1000 before I move up. I need to start practicing alot better bankroll management. The next level is a $16 Turbo on Pokerstars.

As wierd as it may sound I am saving up my Pokerstars FPP for a 50" plazma TV. I need like 160K FPP's to get it. It will take me a long time but it is something to work toward. I think I have 5K FPPs now. Eight tabling the $16's and 27's (if I make it that far) would produce a significant amount of FPP's

I am really looking forward to the start of the Bluff and Blogger Poker tours this week. And yes I will win both. :)

Good luck.

Update

I have been playing a decent amount of poker the last couple of days. I have been four tabling 6.5 turbo's and winning at a really good rate. I find it very simple to 4 table, I shouldn't have a problem 8 tabling once my new setup is here. I hope I can continue to tear these 6.5's up. Hopefully I will be back to my normal grind pretty soon and start to make some serious headway with my bankroll. Until then gooooood luck.

New Computer

I am cashing out a large chunk of my $ to build a new computer. It will be pimp, I will post pictures when I get it complete. It will basically be a:

  • ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD (Motherboard)
  • Seagate Barracuda (Perpendicular Recording) 320GB 7200 RPM (Hard Drive)
  • 2GB (Memory) - haven't decided what brand
  • (2) BenQ FP93GX Black 19" 2ms LCD (Monitor)
  • AMD Athlon X2 4200 2.2GHz (Processor)
  • VGA e-GeForce 6800 XT (Dual Monitor Video Card)
  • 16X/4X Double Layer DVD+/-RW (DVD Burner)
  • Wireless Keyboard & Mouse
  • Ultra Wizard case


I don't know how much money I am going to have left after I buy all of this. Once this is built I should be able to play 8-tables at once. I will probably 8 table SNG's for a while. I just cant handle playing on my "4yr old, 15 inch monitor, e-machine" anymore.

I am really pissed I missed out on the mansion bet knowing the steelers won!!!!

I will still post, it will just be a couple days to get $ straightend out.

Stop Loss Set:

It is a shame that I have to wait until I lose alot to actually set this. My stop loss is set at $400. If I lose $400 in one day I will get up and walk away for the day. If you you see a post with more than a $400 loss please place a comment and rip me a new ass for not following my own rules from here on out.

Thanks

I am also going to stick to .5/1 and 1/2 until my roll gets back up to 2k.

Well it was bound to happen. I had a bad day and boy was it bad. I was already overplaying my roll but I went to the extreme today. I took a couple ugly beats at the 1/2NL tables droping $300. I was chasing my losses and was on tilt. There were no 2/4NL tables open so I sat at the 5/10NL table with a full buy in. That was a mistake. I blew through that in about an hour. I must admit I am a retard and blew half my bankroll taking a shot. The funny thing is there is hope, the 5/10 level was full of idiots also. I took my losses and turned the computer off of the day. It is rebuild time, and I need to set a stop-loss for the day so these things don't happen again. I am confident I can make this money back plus some very shortly.

Cash Games: -$1158.93
Note to self: don't play 5/10NL with a 2K roll. Although I do fell I have the balls to play those limits. I don't seem intimidated by players or the amount a person bets. I think I played my hands correctly, I was just unlucky.

MTT: $0
None

HU SNG: $0
None

Thoughts:
Yes I am retarded.
