Running like God

The title of this entry cant explain it any better. Since yesterday, I'm up close to $40, by just playing $2nl and a little $5nl on 20 tables. I also won this total amount in maybe 3-4 hours. I'm hoping it's not just a heater that I'm on, and I'm just really good at full ring, but chances are heater lol. Either way, I'll definately take it for such a short amount of time at the lowest stakes on Stars.

I also decided to not go through with my break, as I do not have a lot to do for the time being. I'm still waiting to start my new job, so I'll be taking my break after I get it. So until then, I'll be grinding full ring games on 20 tables just hoping to continue this good run I am on :)

Working on my cash game

Lately I've found myself multi-tabling full ring cash games. I'm running 12-16 tables at a given time. Since I dont have a large roll right now, I'm only playing $2nl, buying in for $3, which gives me plenty of money to play this many tables. I am hoping to move up the limits to higher stakes cash games, but I do need a lot of practice. This morning I played around a 30 minute session on 16 tables and was up over $12, so I think I can make something here. I'm done with sng's for a while, they have become too much of a pain to me(except the 180 player sng's)

I'm also going to be taking about a week off from poker, because I need a break and am getting a new job so I'll need to get settled into my new schedule. While I'm on my break, I'll be studying cash games on CardsChat, reading hand histories, and all in all just getting a general feel for the game. A lot of the members at CC have moved to ring full time, and make quite a bit of money off it, so I'm hoping to do the same, moving from the bottom to the top!

Another rebuy

I actually ran pretty deep in this one though. After the rebuy/addon period I had a 16k stack, which put me in the top 200 for the hour. Second hour was fairly blan, adding only 5k more to my stack to be at 21k. After the second break is when things really picked up for me. I moved from 21k to over 80k at one point. I would like to go into detail of some of the hands I played, but the biggest was probably me having AK and hitting the A against a person with JT who had hit nothing...ya stupid play by him I know lol. Anyways that took me to around 60k, and I ground the rest of the stack. I wish things would have kept going this good for me after the next break, as I went completely card dead, and I wasnt even able to complete a successul steal in posistion. I dwindled down to around 55k-60k(dont remember exactly), which at the time it happened I was pretty well behind average. I caught AQs in the BB, raised to 15k and got one caller. Flop brought my A, and since the pot was so large compared to my stack, I decided to push. Villian called with 33, and a set :( My tourney was over. I finished 262 and got paid $31 and some change for my efforts, so not a complete loss

Moving on to other things, I will not be playing the Sunday 100k, either rebuy, or any other tourney until around 12am as I will be out doing things for most of the day. I also probably will not be playing the rebuy again for a few days, just because I've played it for three days in a row and want a break from it. Well thats it for now, be sure to check back

What a bad day

I'm not sure of the exact number of tournaments and sng's I played, but what I am sure of is that I cashed none of them. I havent had a day like this in a while. It seems like nothing was working for me, no matter what I did. I even chip lead one sng from about 16 people left til the bubble. Guess who was the bubble boy? Yeah, me. I hope to get things turned around for next weeks tourneys, I'm going for two divisions on the sng leaderboard and I want a couple more deep runs in mtt's. Well, thats enough whining for now, I'm out

Good couple days

Havent been blogging lately, but honestly, I havent had a lot to write about. I cashed out another $200, so I'm working with around a $200 roll for the time being. I've been cashing several tourneys the past couple days as well. I've cashed 4 NLHE tourneys, and a HORSE tourney. I finished deep in 3/5 cashes, but still looking for another final table. The way I've been playing the past couple days, I am expecting to make one very soon!

I will be keeping this blog more up to date(hopefully lol) from here on. I feel like the very few of you that do read this blog have been cheated, and I'm going to begin making more entries again.

Man how I missed the micros....not

God, I forgot how TERRIBLE the play is at these limits. I've been sucked out on so many times already by hands that shouldnt have even been played. K8 beating my KK, J3 beating QQ, so on and so forth. It's been a bad expierience so far, the only thing that makes me happy about it is my PS3 comes in tomorrow :D

I'll eventually get back in the groove of the micro stakes, and grind back up, but man it sucks being back here

Taking a drop in stakes

But not because of a downswing or anything of that nature. I cashed out a fairly large sum of money today to buy some stuff I wanted/needed. First my want, I bought a PS3 today, which will arrive on Monday! I'm really excited about getting it, however I'm going to be renting games for it for a little while lol. Next, I bought a wireless router for my laptop. I have been using a mobile thing from the cell phone company, but it's too expensive and too unreliable for the price. My router will be here Tuesday. Finally, the last thing I bought was a desperate need, as my PC has a major virus on it and has not been running good at all. So I bought an antivirus program, because none of the free stuff or stuff on my PC was taking care of it. It's a lot of money out of my roll, but it's all for good stuff lol

I'm going to have a $140 roll left to work with, which is plenty of money to start over. I plan on grinding $1 sng's and mtt's again as I did before. The thing I'm not sure of however is if I want to have my money on Stars or Tilt, I'll be making that decision soon though. All in all, I'm very happy I was able to spend some of my poker money on this stuff, especially considering I never made a deposit and the real money came from all the play money I sold. I'm basicly getting all this stuff for free lol

Man I'm Lazy

I havent updated in we'll just say, forever lol. I've just had so much other stuff going on that I have not had time to. To sum things up since my last blog entry, I made a lot of money and lost a lot of money, but still have a great bankroll to work with, especially considering it was at $60 from selling play chips a month and a half ago. I have made a full transistion of my roll from Stars to Full Tilt, just because I needed a change for a while. It will not be permanent, I will still be playing on both sites, but the majority of my play will be on Tilt, especially with the Mini Series of Poker starting. Thats about it for now, I'm going to start giving my blog more attention from now on!
