there wasn't enough time for another after the deep finish. did i mention i got 2nd? i had some stuff to finish up here so i could goof off the rest of the shift.if your style doesn't work for 180turbos, then neither does mine. i'm pretty sure we play it similarly tight to the vest until the blinds matter. i think of this phase as the "padding the tracker ©2008 qyayqi" phase. people who are (poorly?) running tracker software see the king of nit, so i get respek when i shove over top of the guy who frequently raised my microbb. in one hand i often get back everything i let them have earlier.i just happened to have the suckouts we've been posting not happen, AND got a couple of my own.that is a heckuva graph, ahi. glad to see you resurfaced after that dive in the deep end for hockey pucks. i was just about to pm you and say, "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THOSE BRUINS". too late. sorry.

My experience witth $12 180 man turbos is they are crazy variance.I won about the 5th one I played, broke even for a stretch of 30 or so, then didn't cash for 20 in a row.After that I decided to stop playing them.

Going to try to focus on 4.40s.. As I double up in 3 turbos simultaneously.. lol.. Check/Calling river is 10x scarier but sooo profitable in nlhe..Here's my 10 cent turbo tilt shove of the night (lol!)
playing specific sngs/mtts consistently certainly feels important. when i buckled down on the morning 5.50 mtt i final tabled it. i downplay any skills i may possess, but i'm sure being essentially a turbo specialist lately has to play some part in my success in the 45's and now the 180's tonight.and the 72... nicely done. but i rarely tilt shove unless there are like 3 people all in before me and i just want to quadruple up or get the hell out of dodge. or we're playing the shove once an orbit game. hmmm, haven't done that in months... 10 centers would definitely be the place to go MAD!

Just river checked 88 on an xxxx8 board by accident.Big $40 swing in 200 hands just now, the down and up kind of swing :)AKs > J7o has been the highlight so far. Dunno what that guy was thinking.nice with the 72I look to blowing off steam by shoving a lot in those 10c turbos.

2008-05-31-SharkScope.jpgthis makes 7 consecutive winning months. i'm a happy panda.
Well done, Q!Next month I'll get a decent non-turbo sample size and I'll hopefully get another streak going like I did late last year (when I actually played).I'm starting to think my opponents are OPRing me when they put me on ranges, and only viewing "Last 120 days". lol. I just want to know why every time I hold AQ in the big blind and flop Q84 rainbow, the idiot who min-raised from the button *always* has KK. It's uncanny.Now that we've established that I'm seeing roughly 50 bad beats a night, I'm only posting good hands. There a whole other section for the other ones. :club:

nice hand up there. and you are correct, it feels good to ride out bad swings & not have to worry about busting the br. my back to back swings to ss 'super tilt' didn't affect my overall success in may. that HAS to count for something. bankroll management for the opposite of failure!

You are super-nit. Put it this way: at the current amount of money I have online after withdrawl.. I have about 240 buy ins for the 2.20s, 120 buy ins for the 4.40s and 13 buy ins for $1/$2, and 6 buy ins for $2/$4. lol. Kids, don't try my cash game BR management. But I feel I'm correct on the others, because 120 is plenty for 4.40s, and 240 sounds right for turbos.The real secret is "Caring Enough". You enter a $33 tournament on a $250 bankroll you are going to *care*. If you enter a $1 tournament on a $800 br (something I used to excel at) you need some serious self motivation. It's like shock therapy. Your losses need to sting enough to keep you honest, but not deeply enough to cause you real pain.
That is excellent.
lol no kidding.. Nothing boosts the confidence more than one of the few hands I won last night, I was on the $#!tter for.... And my last 4 'cashes' were all 100k satty tickets, and for each of those I wasn't even present for the win (get an M of 10+ at the FT and go smoke a cig).. I'm starting to wonder if I'm getting in my way. lol
