Deadline Suspended

Well, it turns out that putting a deadline on my goal really made things hard on me, as I was concentrating more on getting chips fast than playing good poker and having a steady rise. Glad I made this mistake on the play money tables instead of the real money though. I'm not going to put another deadline on this, as it messes up my play, but I would like to have it finished sometime by next weekend, so I can play the CardsChat team event that is going on right now. My roll has been going back and forth between 5.5m and 6.3m the past 2 nights, and its all because I'm playing one sng after another. I'm just going to slow down, and take it easy for a little bit. If I dont have the chips cashed in by this weekend and dont get to play the first round of the team event, so be it. I just want to get this goal of 10m accomplished so I can begin to turn a real profit on the tables. Thats all for now, be sure to check back later!

The Deadline Is Not Looking Good

Well, after I cracked the 5m mark, I set a goal of having all the chips in my account by around 8pm Sunday. Its 2:31am on Saturday morning, and I only have around 5.5m. I hit the 6m mark in what was close to an all night session yesterday, but have had a downswing today, dropping as low as 5.1m. I would like to be somewhere near over the 7m by the time I am ready to go to sleep. All hope is not lost on the deadline though. I still have all day and night today and all day tomorrow. If I do not meet the deadline, I will probably put in another all night session Sunday. I do want to be grinding $5NL sometime this week, because I am flat out sick of play money. Any of you out there reading this that might think it is easy to gain all these chips, I challenge you to try it yourself. You will find that reaching 10m is definately an accomplishment, as it takes a lot of hours, hands, and tourneys played. I've been at this for about 3 weeks now, and I'm still just over half way. Well I'm done for now, my next entry will probably tell all of you if I made the deadline or not. Lets hope I do so I can be playing real money and giving real bankroll updates in the near future. If I do not reach the deadline, I will just continue my grind, and set a new deadline of Thursday. Well to all my loyal readers, this is Inscore, over and out

Half Way to 10m, Making Another Goal

Well last night while playing the play money sng's, I finally cracked the 5 million chip mark, which puts me half way to my goal! With that said, I'm setting a new goal to get this done. I want to have the 10 million chips in my account by Sunday before WrestleMania starts. Its a really big task, but I want to get this finished. If I can continue the run I have been having lately, it can be done though. Last night, I racked up over 1.3 million, and that was just from playing a few before I went to bed. I'm planning on putting in some long sessions today, Friday, and all through the weekend. If all goes well, I will be giving real money reports on Monday. Wish me luck on this everybody, I'm gonna need a little of it!

Back to Play Money

Well, after posting some hand histories on CardsChat, I have discovered I have several leaks in my game, none of which I will be posting here lol :P I'm heading back to the play money tables to work on these problems, and also to continue the climb to 10 million play chips. I'm not going to be playing anymore real money, except for maybe the CC game, until I have reached my goal of 10m and have a good bankroll. The reason for this is that I simply do not feel comfortable putting money on the line with all the problems I have discovered in my game. I'm going to work on all the points that have been given to me, and hopefully in the end it will all pay off. I just wanted to give a quick update, see you all later!

CardsChat Buy-in, 3-24-08

Well like I said in my last entry, I started the day with a little over 20 cents in my Stars account. I will probably end my day with $16 in my account! I placed 4th in the $1.10 CardsChat buy-in event today for $15.30. 53 people entered, and it was a really good and challenging game. The final table was full of regulars and a pro, so I think I did fairly well. It finally came down to me needing to push the first decent hand I got, and that came with 8 9 suited. Dj called me with A 4, and caught trip aces. I'm out, but if I was going to lose to anybody I would prefer it to be Dj. He went on to win the entire tournament as well. Well just because I have a bankroll with money in it now, it does not mean that I am going to stop playing play chip games and get to 10 million. I've gone too far on that project to just give up on it now, so the quest continues! I'll probably play one of the late night tournaments tonight, so there might be one more tourney report before the day is over. So until we meet again, take it easy!

Working With a Little Change

Well, I realized that I had a little over 20 cents in my Stars account, so I hit the .02/.04 fixed limit holdem tables today. About 15 minutes later, I had $1.45, so I registered for the $1.10 Pot Limit 6 max hold'em event. I did manage to make the money, but then my queens lost to pocket 8's when he rivered a straight, so I lost almost all of my stack. I was all in the next hand and eliminated. The cash was good though, I now have $1.95 in my account, $1.10 of which is going right back into the CardsChat buy-in event today. I cant wait for this tournament, it has $100 added to the prize pool and only a field of around 40-45, which I do extremely well in. For now though, I'll probably enter a few more play money games and work on that some more. As of right now, I have 4 million play chips in my account, over 40% of the way to my goal. Well thats all for now, I'll probably give an update after the CardsChat tournament. Be sure to check back later everybody!

Sunday 100k, 3-23-08

First off, the admin sent all the players this message:

Administrator: Welcome, everyone! You are now playing in the largest tournament (in terms of field size) in poker history, online or offline! Best of luck to each of you!

It's pretty cool knowing you are part of poker history, weather you cash or not lol. I'm just going to write this entry as I play, so just keep checking back every now and then. I will probably write on my breaks. As of right now, I am just a little above my starting stack of 3k after about 40 minutes of play. Not a lot going on right now

First break: Only one big hand during the first hour, I was getting short stacked and I reraised a loose player for all my chips with AJ, and he turns over kings. Luckily, an ace comes on the flop and he doesnt improve. Thats really all thats going on up til the first break, and right now I'm sitting at about 4.3k chips

No farther than half way through the second hour. It was pretty much the same as the first, absolutely no cards. The only difference was MUCH higher blinds, which did a lot of damage to my stack. I finally found myself with pocket 7's, the best cards I had seen since my first double up. So I pushed my last 3k, only to be called by 9's. Game over. It was fun, definately a tournament I wouldnt mind playing regularly once I have a bankroll. Thanks for reading everybody!

Won a seat in the Sunday 100k

Well, I dont really know what it is, but for some strange reason I wanted to play this today. So I entered an FPP satelite, and I won my seat! I'm really excited about getting off the play money tables and having a chance at winning some huge cash. I hope there is a reason for me having the urge to play this today, it might just be my day to win! Anyways, I will give a tournament report after I finish playing it, so check back later!

Down at the Play Money Tables

As the title says, I have taken a beating at the play money tables today. Down from 3.5m to 2.8m today. This is the worst day I have had since begining the race to 10m, losing over 700k. It seems that every time I had a strong hand, and thought I was getting in with the best of it, I was wrong and lost. I know however that this is a normal part of the game, and can even happen to decent players at the play money tables. Variance can suck! It could have been a lot worse however, I could had lost a lot more than I did if I did not quit when I did. Oh well, guess its back to the grind tomorrow, hope I can pick up my losses and get back on path to 10m. Until next time, take care!

Another Long and Tired Day

Today was not much better than yesterday, if fact I was even more worn out today. The rest of the week should flow fairly smoothly though, as it always does after I get to bed early on Tuesday. Added a little over 150k to my play chip account, not a good day by any means, especially compared to yesterday's 1 mil. But I guess that's play money variance, I can only win 90% of the time lol. I know I just wasted all of your time by having you read this, but I just don't have a lot to write about today. Actually, the only reason I am writing is because I am making it a point to keep my blog updated regularly. Well until your eyes find my page again, I bid you farewell

A Blah Kind of Day

Yep, it's just one of those days where you dont feel like doing anything. I was worn out all day, I guess my own fault for staying up too late last night. I made it through the day and immediatly came home for a nap. I watched a little tv after that, and then hopped on Stars to continue building my play money roll. I only played two 80k sng's today, one a 9 player, the other a 27 player. I won the 9 player for 360k, and finished 2nd in the 27 player for about 600k, so about a million chips won from the only two tourneys I played today. All in all, not bad for the hour of work I put into it. This boosts my total play money roll to about 3.2 million, so I'm a little bit ahead of the plans I had on how long it would take to reach the 10 mil. Hopefully very soon, I will be back in the real money sng and mtt grind, and making good money while I'm doing it. Thats pretty much my day, after the poker tourneys I watched wrestling, checked CardsChat, and then I'm here writing before I go to sleep. Well to all my fans out there(lol, jk), I will wish you all a good night and a good day tomorrow, take care!

10 Million Play Chip Race

Alright, so a person who takes the time to make a blog about his poker play is playing in games for play money, whats up with that? Actually, in the past I have had an awful time following bankroll management guidelines, and have gone broke fairly quickly. It seemed like I did not value the money like I should have. So one day on CardsChat.com, I was reading a thread about selling play chips for money. At first, like many others, I did not believe it. Then I did some research(me doing research, go figure), and it turned out to be legit. Turns out, I can get anywhere from $100-$120 for 10 million play chips. I am choosing to go this route for two reasons:

1. I don't have the money to deposit right now, and I want to play some real poker

2.So I have a better appreciation of my money, and actually manage it properly.

I feel that after the hard work it will take to get to 10 million, I will manage it so strictly that it will take a horrendous down swing to make me go broke again. And being broke again is a feeling that I do not want to have ever again.

I am currently sitting at 2.3 million play chips, about a quarter of the way to my goal, I will keep everybody posted on my progress!

Whats up?

Hey, whats good everybody? My name is Aaron Inscore, and this is my poker blog! Welcome! About me, well its not really difficult. First off I'm 19 years old, and live in a small town in the eastern corner of Tennessee called Greeneville. I have a beautiful girlfriend that I have been with for about 2 years, she is amazing. I am the biggest Georgia Bulldog fan you will ever meet. Football, basketball, and any other sport they televise, if UGA is playing, I am watching. Same goes for the Tennessee Titans. I am also a huge wrestling fan, and can talk about it for hours at a time. I love to play poker, which is the reason I have the blog. I'm not the best in the world at it, even though sometimes I think I am, but who hasnt had that feeling? But I do try, and feel that the way I am going I will have a nice online bankroll one of these days. If you want to play with me, here are my screen names:
