Bad Day Online

Final tally down 22 on the day. I won a 5 dollar 6 man, got 3rd in a 5 dollar 20 man for a total of 29 dollars now for the losses. 3 2 dollar 15 mans. -6 4 5 dollar HU 4 mans -21. I got killed there with some sick stuff. Two 5 dollar 15 mans. -11 Last one i was in good shape but 99 couldnt beat 52 ona 754 flop then ofcourse 2. Same guy A10 vs. A9 chop he busted when AK vs 55 and 55 made a set. In the other one who knows. Got coolered twice QQ on 2 dollar 15 man bubble only guy that can bust me and donk picks up KK. Then in a cash game KK of course AA beautiful. -8 in cash games by the way. And for the last 5 STT 5 dollar A9 guy calls big preflop raise with Q8 flops bottom 2 I bust out. I had a rough day, no more 5 dollars gotta go back to the 2 dollars, if I can win 2 15 mans Ill be at 145 so that would be a gain

Wish me luck for the grind

The Monthly home game

Today was my monthly home game 10 showed 10 buy-in 65 30 15 prize pool. We started with 1300 in chips and I quickly go to around when 2k when i made the nut str8 and 2 flushes with in 20 minutes. I then increased my stack when i made to full houses to 2600. I then got to 3500 when we had 10 20 blinds i had AQs i raised to 70 2 calls A96 rainbow i check kid bets 100 i reraise 200 more he pushs in like 500 more i instantly call im right he has A10 i hang on. Then i get to around 4500 when i raise 160 total with A8s 4 handed bb calls 100 more. 882 flop he bets 100 i reraise 200 more he goes all in i call he has 108 i hang on. Then we make final table,first hand 65 in sb i limp with 3 others bb checks 523 rainbow i check bb bets 150 me and my friend call he has about 2k behind him, turn 4 i check bb bets 75 my friend reraises to 225 i go over the top of both of them for 750 more bb folds, my friend takes awhile before pushing in 650 more. I was going to call, but I made a mistake, instead of saying call then counting the chips, I did it backwards, so when I call it seemed like a slowroll which in a sense it was, (sorry bro didn't mean t00 next time ill do it right) So anyway he has the A but with a flush draw that misses and i take a big chip lead. I get heads up with this kid u cant bluff i mean i bet pot the night before in a cash game on a JJ889 board the kid instantly called with Qhigh because he did't care. I didnt bluff him once and i got to like 9k-4k in chips when he raises the me the min. on the button with J10 200-400 blinds i reraise 1k more with KQs he calls Flop AcQh10c i flop second pair nut flush draw and a gut shot, I check he bet 500 i call. Turn Jc, I hit the royal flush!! I check he bets 1k i reraise 1300 more he calls leaving him like 800 river, perfect Kd i push in immediately he calls. To everyones astonishment I show the royal and win the tournament. I played really well today,multiple times i folded top pair in unraised pots and was right, i folded 77 preflop 4 handed when the kid had 88 called a kid down with bottom pair no kicker and was right. This was probably the best I played in this game ever.

Hope to repeat next time,

Matt

My Weekend

Well this was a crazy weekend. I won another 4 man 5 dollar Hu match and lost one too. I won a 5.50 6 man and made a cash in a 3.50 rebuy worth 22 dollars and the same tournament, this time a freezeout for 8.65. I also qualified for the 100k guranteed by winning my entry through a 6 dollar satelite. I made to the second hour, but got knocked out when my KK got cracked by 66. I also cracked AA 3 times and kings once. One time i had 75s raised to 3x bb then guy reraised to 450 more so i was getting about 5-1 on money called Flop went 998 two diamonds, my suit. I push it all in he calls with AA and Ad Turn Kd River 6d, i think Im out, but the chips come my way and I see Straight Flush!! Thats how i cashed in this tournament. So after the 60 dollars from my friend Im up 30 bucks on the weekend 130 in my account. Im probably going to play the 830 5+1 NL Freezeout about 100 will enter. I also got 2 live tournaments this week Wednesday where 32-40 are coming and Thursday 12-20 both 10 dollar buy in. Im very excited, but for some bad news my friend is in another bad run and is down about 1200 in a month. However he is currently doing very well in a 10+1 tourney where first is 1k, lets hope and pray for him.

See yall later

Good News Finally

Sorry guys I could of sworn I posted on Tuesday, but anyways I have some good news. My friend who no longer plays on royal vegas and had 360 bucks locked in his account there really helped me out. I was down to about 45 dollars, but then he said if I take the money out for him I get to keep 60!! So we did and now I have 100. I lost 10 dollars of that 60, but won it all back plus in a 4 man HU tourney. So now I have 107!! Also my baseball team is got its first win and finals are over. So some good news finally. Yankees Old Timers Game today I suggest watching it.

Peace

Strange Tournament

Twice i was below 1k and twice i got it back to over 2500 with a set. Then I got to 6800 at break with donks giving me this money especially one. Well in the 2nd break i get to 8k with this donk paying me off when i had 3 Qs. SO i have 8k this donk hs 4500 i have KQ this guy raise min. after the donk limped i call. FLop is K1010 rainbow. Donk bets out 600 100-200 blinds. Raiser calls, I know the raiser is weak and im pretty sure the donk is just tilting. So i raise to 1800 he moves all in fro 1200 more the other guy folds. Even if he has the 10 i have to call im getting 6-1, but i think he has a bad A, to my astonishment he doesn't even have that he has 22. Turn 6 im about to become chip leader with 13k River 2!!! WTF R U KIDDING ME!! This has been happening all week. Im left with 3k make bluff lose half my stack, I have to stick in with K6 and get slowed by AA who ends up making the nut flush. 120 entered i finished 31st, it was 6 buy in and now my account is at 72, but if i win this 15 man i can get it to 87 and be up 5 on the day. This is the second bad run in a row, excluding that phenominal last weekend. Well, I have to keep grinding.

Peace

What u Know About That

I won my biggest tourney ever!! It was the 830 am 6 NL freezeout. I double up early when my AQ hung up against K10. At the end of that break i had 4100 and 40 people were left and 10 pay. Off the bat i get up to 6500, but then i get dead and im done to 3300. The blinds were weird in this too. Instead of going from 150-300 to 200-400 they went to 250-500, and after that instead of 300-600, they went to 400-800 and so forth. However well with 25 people left i had my stack mentioned before. I have 66 raise the tighest player at the table reraises all in which would leave me 500 if i call and lose. I feel he has AQ or AK so i have to call indeed he had AK and i hung on. Few minutes later im all in again for 6600 with AK and got called by 1010 I made trips on a board of QJAA7. Then i picked up some pots and got to the final table with 17k. I got up to 26k when my A8 held up against my opponents Q8s. Then i knocked out 2 ss with 2s full of 7s and got 34k. With 4 left blind 2k-4k I have 99 and go all in for 32k total this guy with 40k calls with AQ. Flop came Q22 NO!! im done, NO! Turn9!!!!!! O baby i win that and get to 66k later the guy i beat their pushes all in for 14k I call with A2s and he has 88 however the flop comes A22 and we are 3 handed. I then proceed to win a 85k pot with 3 4s and i have a big chip lead. Then i knock that guy out with Ks and 5s. HU i had a 6-1 lead but went ot 3-1 when his AJ held up against my Q10. However i make a nice check raise which hurts him alot. So he has 24k i have 185k I put him all in, I have QQ he calls with K5 board comes A7982. I win it!! 215 smacks.Now i can take that money out and pay some people back. As of now though i have 320 in my account. I think im taking out 155, leaving me 165. This was a great weekend. I won 260 dollars in about 10 hours of play.

Stableized

I haven't play any poker since Sunday, but today i played some STTs. The first was a 2.75 10 man, I took home second and 7.50 I played real tight , but made moves when I needed to. The other was a 5.50 15 man with first 37.50. I got off to a good start and ha 2k in 10 minutes. I eventually made the final table with 4k. I got down to around 3200, but I cashed guranteeing myself 15 dollars. I got alot of hands at the final table, but no action. Finally with 3 left and that stack I have AQ 150-300 blinds. I raise to 900 the big stack with 8800, raises to 1500 i decided to go all in and he calls. I think im beat because he called so fast, but I can't fold here. To my amazement he has AJs and I win the pot giving me the chip lead! I knock the other guy out with A10 against his A6. So heads up i have 8200 to his 6800. The 5th hand I have KK and decide to limp, he raises to 600, I then reraise t0 1500 he reraises to 2700. I then put him all in he thinks awhile and Im praying for him to call, and he does with KJ, Im in great shape! Flop is A97 Turn 5 He is drawing dead and I win the tournament earning $37.50. This now has my account at a smooth 103.75. Know I have some freedom, and can play some rounders and some 5 dollar tourneys without really sweating. Im very likely done for today, but plan on playing the 930 tommorrow night after my first baseball game of this summer leauge Im in.

Ill keep you updated,
Matt

It's About Time

Last night i entered the 930 2.25 NL Freezeout and took home 3rd!! My first cash in 2 months and my first final table in 3. 220 entered and I got off to a fast start. when my AQ hung on against QJ. Then the next hand i have 66 and call a raise on a guy who i believe is tilting a bit. He has 2400 to my 3100. The flop came 248 two spades. He bets 300 and i raise to 900 he then goes all in for 1500 more. I feel I have the best hand so i call. Turn 6d and river 8h. Im up to 6k! But when we get to break im down to 3700. I stayed positive and felt good. The third hand after break I doubled up to 8k when my AJ held up against my opponents J10 on a board of J4283. I get up to 9600 but picking up pots, and I cash. Then with 18 left i have 7400 and 800 in the bb. This ss with 3k goes all in i call he has AA flop comes 324 Turn A river 5!! We chop and i have 8k. I pick up a pot and make the final table with 9200. On the third hand blinds are 800-1600. I push in with 77 a 5k stack calls and huge stack calls. Big stack has A3, but the ss has KK. Flop comes 8910, good flop i have 10 outs. Turn 3 River J!!!!I make the str8 and get up to 26k. With 7 left i double up against the chip leader when my QJ hung on against his Q9 on a board of Q8106K. I then i have to play tight since u cant raise these people at all. So somehow i crawl my way to 3 left. With the blinds at 1500-3k I push in on the button with A7 for 32k and bb with 80k calls with K6 flop is KQ4 Turn K and Im drawing dead finishing in 3rd worth 53 bucks. However I had to pay my friend back 16 since he loaned me the money which allowed me to play that tourney and I just lost to STTs, both times I got my money in with the best hand. So yesterday I started with 68, Got down to 38, ended the day with 95 and now have 74. Im down for awhile until 6 tonight I might play some STTs. I probably won't be playing as much in these next 3 weeks due to finals and my baseball league is starting. BTW my friend is putting together a 40 man live tourney with a first prize over 150 bucks!!

Peace

This Is Becoming Gay

i finished 55th ina 167 1 dollar rebuy tourney with a 155 first. I got up to 4100 when i won a huge pot with KK whci hung on against AK and a ss's hand. Then i got to 6k when my KJ hung on a J8 on a board of J72710. Then at break i rebought to 6700 and got up to 7400. Then with the high blinds i got down to 5100. Picked up a pot with 95 to 6700. Then 200-400 blinds i raise with AJ from ep to 1200 bb raises 800 more utg calls i call. I don't like the raise so i'm little scared. Flop comes Ah7cQh he goes all in for 3200 2/3 my stack utg calls. I think and fold. BB reraised with AJ, I don't like that at all and utg called with 55. If I stayed in i woulda had 7800 instead 4800. I think I had to fold there considering the reraise and the size of my stack. I hate that raise by him but i gotta take it. So a few hands later i get 1010 i raise to 1200 i get reraised 2400 more i then reraise my last 950, I don't think i can fold here, so i went all in he called with QQ. Of course he hangs on. Once again i get fairly deep, nothing to show. This is becoming very frustrating, since i can't do anything. My account is at 53. I guess I got to keep plucking away and hope for the best. I don't think I played bad at all in these tournies, it's just not breaking my way. I'm thinking of playing a little longer tonight.

See you later
