The END and conclussion.

2 days ago i played the $11 buyin with rebuy 45K guaranteed MTT on stars. to give it a last shot on the final day of the bet. with 29 player left i was second in chips. first price was about 12.5K and second was about 6K. there was a bubble for the 28th player. and i was using my stack and stealing here and there. until this hand came:
i was dealt AA UTG+1 i make my standard raise to 2.5BB. the chip leader flatcalled my raise on the button, sb and bb folded.
the flop was: As 2h 9c rainbow. i had the nuts!!
i bet half the size of the pot, and the chipleader on the button reraised me.
i reraised and he went all in. i called and he shows pocket 22. i was happy because i was sure to get to the final table with a huge chiplead to everyone.
turn was a blank and the river was another 2 giving him a quad. he hits a fucking one outer on me!!!. i was very very upset about that and i am still upset. this is maybe the million time i came so close and someone hits a miracle card on me.
so i ended 29th winning $180 only and i am very disapointed.


i expected to play a fullmonth of poker, unfort. i didnt expect that i will have other stuff to do. i didnt play everyday and when i played, i played for a few hrs only.
This means that i played almost the same amount i was playing even when i was studying, except this time i didnt cashout $400 or $300 and i played higher limits then i usualy play b/c i have a good bankroll for that, therfore i made a slighly more profit.

I lost the bet. but i am sure that if i had the time, i will reach 2000 very easy.
i will make another bet soon, when i really have the time for that.

Final result plus bonuses and rakeback is $971.32

Switching to Cash games

My ROI in SnG's is still high but i think i can make more money in cash games
so today i switched to cash games and will still play some SnG's.

tbh i still DID NOT PLAY A FULL DAY OF POKER.
its annoying but i have so much fun things to do since im off, and that is keeping me from playing poker.
im up about $350 now.

This sucks i have no time

I really didnt had any time to play 8 hrs a day yet im playing only one session a day and sometimes not even playing poker the whole day.

i just finished a $10 MTT and finished second winning $110, when we went heads up i had about 13000 chips and the leader about 60000 so i had to double up a few times to be back in the game, specially when the blinds are 1000/2000 i had to move all in with AT and i was calle by A8 and he spikes an 8 and win.

i am also playing the $10 SnG now and i dont think im going back to the $6.

played a cash session and lost $20 here are the sick hands i lost with:

i folded my TPTK since i was very deep and its not worth it for 200bb and im sure im beat.

Well i only managed to play 1 session of 4 Sng's

Today i didnt manage to play more then 1 session of 4 sng's (4 tabling)
i won 2 of them and finish second in the other one, the forth one i ended up in the bubble pushing all in with K3o.

here are the results so for.



as you can see i played 2 $10 sng's and didnt get anything. i had 2 bad beats i will not talk about the since im used to bad beats now since im play more and more.
i will give it another shot soon in the $10 but tbh i find the $6 buy-in much more easier and with the RIO i am getting i think im crushing them atm.

I didnt mention that i also have rakeback and some Bonuses that im clearing at the moment. Im up $100 now. with the rakeback i had from last month and to bonuses that i cleared so far since 1 nov.

hopfully tommorow i will be able to play 4 or 5 session of 4 tables. this means 20 or 16 or 20 sng's

Still not started

Today i had to go to my uni to get my grades, thus i am again not able to start playing 8hrs a day.

yesterday i played $1 dollar rebuy tournement, i ended 75 i think i won 5 dollars only, i was card dead all day, i stealed my way to finish in the money (which i dont normaly do, i play for the win or FT). i was very aggressief close to the bubble where i managed to chip up from 100 in chips to 50 at once, then a hand came and i tried to steal a shorty where he cold call my preflop raise, flop came J 2 7 rainbow, he checked to me, where i put him all in with my nothing hand, and he called me turning J7o, he said he called coz it was suited

after this hand i coudnt steal alot since i was a shorty my self. i pushed on the button with A8 and got called by JT and he won.
While playing that MTT i played 2 SnG's, i finsihed second in one of them.

i decided that i will not play $1 dollar tournement again, since its not worth it.

Good second warm up day

Today i played only 4 sng's and 2 very low buy-in MTT's

The first MTT went good until i got a cold deck my KK facing AA and i busted out
the second one started good, then i lost more then half my stack when someone hits a set on my AK (A on the flop) but i am happy i didnt lost my whole stack that hand. anyways i got deep in the tournement and finished 107th and ended in the money winning almost nothing since its very low buy in tourny

here are the results since 1 nov:





The freeroll that i played was $1000 garantied. it was only for the tournement leader board at Vegas 24/7 and i was invited since last month i was in the top 100 in the leader board. the same person hits a set on my twice, once when i had KK and the other when i had QQ.

The hr rate is almost $10/hr this is low since i didnt play 4 tables at once today. i played 1 MTT + 2 SnG at once and again 1 MTT + 2 SnG at once.

hopefully tommorow i will start playing fulltime.
