Thurs Night

Session started off like most nights, pretty shitty. Played a total of 10 tournaments.
Ran kinda shitty but at the same time, I didn't play all that well either...
Fired up the first few a little after 8 p.m and I just busted in my last one about 15mins ago.
I only cashed in 2. I got 18/170 in that $5.50 6max Turbo that I busted in 12th a few days ago.

heres some of the hits I took tonight

Wed Night

I'm not off to a good start, played a 135man rush sng. That didn't end well, got 40th i think.

Played a 6max Turbo and the Midnight Madness, for the first time in a long time.

Now I remember why I no longer play it.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5770069

I'm in a  knock out right now and theres a 6max Turbo coming up in about 15 mins.

After I bust or win them, gonna call it a night.

Gonna be a early night, out of the KO already...

1:40 am

Out of my 6max Turbo...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5770180

busted my next BB. 66/272

Tuesday Morning

Never feeling satisfied, had to play a few more. I played 4 more tournaments.
I bricked two, the 90man KO and a 6max.

hand that led to my demise in the 90man
http://www.pokerhand.org/?5766699

I min cashed in the other two. 18/458 and 17/231 6max
I was cruising along nicely until I picked up QQ in early position.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?5766855

doubled up with TT vs A9clubs and scraped the blinds a few times to get back in it for a little while.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5766949

Not the worst shove I've made at 20x, but still not proud of it. Just gonna call it a night/day
and get some rest, I've been playing since around 7pm last night (minus an hour or 2 break around 3-4 am). Its a little after 10 now. Definitely a profitable session, missed out on some money but nothing to cry about.

Monday Night

Only played in 2 tournaments tonight.I got 12/162 in a $5.50 6max Turbo.
I made a Final Table in the $3.30 6max double stack. I ended up getting 2/434

1st place paid $288.47
2nd place paid $188.79


Made a pretty bad call with 44 and stacked him preflop.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5766468

Started heads up play as a 10:1 dog, but I doubled up with these 2 hands

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5766488

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5766489

Should have definitely waited for a better spot. That guy was a complete jackass,
and I handed him first place.

Sunday's session

I wanted to put in a good grind session on Sunday, but I got drunk and stayed up playing Saturday night/Sunday morning. I should have gone to bed. I think I played about 7 tournaments, bricking them all. Anyway, I was pretty tired Sunday and ended up falling asleep watching football.When I did wake back up, I registered for the 11$ super stack 15k guaranteed prize pool at 7 p.m. I made a good run at it, but came up short in the end. I busted in  66th place (around 3:30 am) out of 2,574 people, missing out on a good chance to make some real money. I also played the $6.40 super turbo knock out. I didn't cash in it, but I did get 8 knock outs, so I actually made $1.60 profit. After I busted in the super stack, I was a bit demoralized for grinding over 8 hours and cashing basically nothing. I took a little break, then played a 6max and a 90man. I bricked the 90 man, and bubbled the Final Table in the 6max. Yes, truly bubbling the Final Table....7th place. Even though I made profit in 3/4 of the tournaments I played, I'm still pretty pissed I didn't make a Final Table and take down a tournament.

Saturday Night

Tonight has been pretty bad. I played  4 or 5 tournaments tonight and just started another 6max.

Bubbled the last one I was in. (27/220) short stacked shoved, I tried to isolate and biggest idiot at the table
gets the same red aces he had 4 hands earlier.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5762381


gonna fire up a few 90mans and play this last 6max turbo, then I'm done for the night.

bricked the 6max and 90man sng.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5762420

I'm not technically out. I still have 5 chips and we're on break, but will be soon enough.

Wasn't Satisfied...

Even though I made some money, wasn't happy with just 5th and 3rd places tonight.

fired up a few 90man knockout sngs and some 6maxes as well. I think 5 total.

Should have just went to bed. Full Tilt raped me hard in 4/5. I did donk off in one of them :)

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5761057

and if that wasn't bad enough.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5761062

gonna take that as a sign to end the session.

one more run for the night

Came back and decided to play a few more tournaments to try and make some money.

First one I busted in 133/847 people. 90 places paid

I'm disappointed that I overplayed my hand.
It wasn't a turbo, so i could have waited for a better spot.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5760840


2nd one I made a Final Table, Finally, in a 6max Turbo....unfortunately, I ended up getting 3rd place.
After 30+ tournaments (since my last win a few days ago) I finally make a final table and this happens

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5760867

Could that donkey possibly ask for a better flop? He ended up winning the tournament too.


I guess it could be worse. I played 6 tournaments tonight, cashed in 3 and made 2 Final Tables (Well cashing in the 90man Sng is making the final table). Not too shabby of a session, definitely made up for yesterday's beating and put me into profit.

Friday's session

firing up some turbos while waiting for friends to get off work. so far I've played 4.
busted in the first 2.


http://www.pokerhand.org/?5760633
3rd tourney 21/320 6max Turbo

Im at the final table in the 90man SNG. was 2nd in chips when we made it.

bust/win hand to come

 http://www.pokerhand.org/?5760667
bust hand 5/90

Was 5 handed for a while, pretty even stacks. Got caught trying to steal blinds with JT otb. The sb tanked and called with AQ. He won and I was crippled, but tripled up the next hand with AK. Won a good pot with AQ vs AJ  and was right back in it. but I dumped half my stack right back with  KJ vs A5. doubling up the guy who had AJ a few hands before. It figures the 2 crucial hands I lose the tournament on, was my king high losing to Ace high, and yet my Ace high cant hold vs QK?? he has to flop 2 pair? really? funny how it works out like that. Personally, I prefer having the QK or QT suited over the AJ or A2. I seem to win those hands and lose when I have the Ace high and slightly favored... Oh well, I played 4 and cashed in 2 of them. needed to win that last 90man to break even for last night's session.

can i possibly just flat that turn card?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5759252
good read or drunken stubbornness??

session breakdown

in a 24hr period i played 10 tournaments, (most of them being 90man knockouts which i seem to at least make last 3 tables or bubble with ease.) cashing in only one (15/197 6max Turbo) and semi bubbling in 2 others.
the last one, i busted in 66/207. hands that did me in were these

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5758984


needless to say, it has been a shitty session and now i have a decision to make. sack up and play a few more or cry myself to sleep

this is why you dont limp big pairs

After getting shit on in the x number of tourneys I've played tonight, I crippled a moron who limped QQ in early position. AK limps behind and I'm looking at TT with just under 20 Big blinds in a turbo. I make it 600 at 60/120. QQ flats and AK 3bet shoves on top. I call, QQ calls. The  board runs out 3JJ8T and I cripple both of them and triple up. If QQ makes a standard 3x raise, hand is played differently and he most likely wins. AK will either call or raise. If he flats I probably do as well, and if AK shoves, I fold cause I'm just that bad.
