Damn Comcast

I seriously hate the assholes, my bill is past due and they only cut the internet off. Why, I have no clue. I would much rather have the cable and movie channels cut off, but they take the net. Just makes no sense, especially since I was going to pay the damn bill by using the internet. Oh well, it's back on, and I am ready to play some poker. My only goal for this week is to not lose any money lol, I'll start making goals again in May, but my goal of $75 for April was easily met as I have around $130 right now. Feels good to be blogging again lol

Found a New Game

Well, sort of atleast lol. I put in my first cash game session since I sold my play chips, and did fairly well doing so. I was 5 tabling .02/.05 6-max for about 400 hands and am now up $12, with my total bankroll at $117. I know that this is probably a little upswing, but I did discover cash is really not boring when you multi table. This is definately going to become a bigger part of my tourney play, but by no means am I giving up on my tourneys. This is probably the last blog entry until my end of week report, unless something big happens between now and then lol. Later everybody!

Sunday 100k 4-20-08

Today's 100k went fairly well for me, I was actually able to make the money this week! The whole tournament was a complete roller coaster for me however, which does not suit my style of play at all. It seems like I would get up, take a hit, and then double up. That process repeated a few times. Every time I was dominating a hand, I lost. Likewise, everytime I was the underdog, I won. Just one of those days I guess lol. It finally settled down near the bubble, but I was very short stacked at this time. I decided to only play premium hands until after the bubble, and it paid off for me. Shortly after the bubble, I moved in with Q7s when I had 2 BB's left. I hit top pair, but lost to a straight. It was a fun tourney overall, and gave me a sense of accomplishment by making it through that many people to cash. I won $22.50, which is $20 profit for me because I was in off of a $2 satelite. This boosts my roll back over $100, so I did meet one goal I had for the week lol. Well I'm out, take care everybody!

End of the week summary

Well, I did not meet either goal I set at the begining of the week, but I am still doing good on my original goal of the month, which is maintaining a $75 dollar bankroll. I have $86 dollars in my account right now, so I'm ahead of where I set my goal for now. My other goal was to place high in the sng leaderboard again, but that did not happen either. I had a pretty crappy week of tourneys, and all around play for that matter. Things did pick up near the end of the week however, as I won a couple 18 player sng's and cashed a few others. No goals for the coming week, except to do well in the 100k tourney on Stars tomorrow afternoon. I'll be giving a tourney report on it after it's over, so be sure to check back if you want to know how everything is going!

From Good to Bad

Bit of a downswing the past couple days, I'm not sure how much I have lost, but I assure you it is nothing totally major. Just frustrated I can't seem to win these past couple days, but it will change, just ugly ol' variance. Did very well in the CardsChat buy-in tourney today, barely missed the final table, and definitely my own fault for not making it. Played some stupid hands, and got exactly what I deserved for doing it. Well, I'm taking Tues. off and starting fresh on Wed, I'm going to finish the current sng leaderboard block I am on, and immediately start a new one because this one is flat out horrible lol. Well I'm out everybody, good luck on your tables!

Goals for this week

I thought I would write about my goals for the coming week. This week, I finished 38th on the sng low orbit leaderboard, which pays $10. This coming week, I want a top 30 finish, which pays $20, or better yet a to 10 finish, or even a win, which pays $150. I'm gonna try my best to get the top score, I honestly should have had it this week, I just made one too many mistakes in my play. Another goal of mine is simply to keep my bankroll above $100, and continue to follow my bankroll management guidelines. I'm going to try to satelite into the 100k tomorrow, and an in the money finish would be cool in that event. Wish me luck on my goals for this week, I'm confident I can meet them!

Deepstack and sng reports

Well, I made it 4 hours into the deepstack tourney, only to finish 300 and something, and win no money at all. My sng's went ok, I wanted to do better so I could win more money from my leaderboard finish, which right now looks like I'm gonna be around 40th place, winning another $10. I also cleared my $20 bonus, so after today my bankroll will be right at $100. Not much else to say, I'm taking the rest of the day off, and I might try to satelite into the 100k tomorrow.
