HighwayStar 8 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 I can still remember roughly where I'm at so it's not the end of this thread.Tonight took 3rd in a $36 180 and so far bricked everything else. I feel like I played really well, just ran horribly. With the 180 score I'm guaranteed to be at least + $9.81 for the session.1 tabling SCOOP 8 - L with 25k at 350/700.

HighwayStar 8 Posted May 8, 2010 Author Share Posted May 8, 2010 For various reasons I've barely played this week. I haven't played nearly as many SCOOPS as I intended to and I've not really put in a proper session. So far SCOOP is not going well - I've managed 1 min cash in a low event.However starting tomorrow it's gonna be back to the grind and I am gonna play every SCOOP I intended to before the series as well as the miniftops events.

TrueAce13 18 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Played 3 mtts today. Got 2nd in the $22 12.5k for just a little under 3100. So cutting into my makeup, but I really felt I have been playing awesome recently and hopefully I can turn things around and have a good 2nd half of this challenge Link to post Share on other sites

HighwayStar 8 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 SCOOP kinda sucked. Lost 2.5k and about 4k in other tournaments. Had 1 deep run in the $100R turbo and lost a flip for aaround 5/80 with 120k for 1st IIRC. Tournaments have really sucked throughout this challenge. Only 1 score of note.For the last week I've been playing MTT SnGs and Turbo MTTs and I'm up around 4k in ~ 35 hours of play (way above expectation). Nice little confidence booster before the WSOP. Also puts me up around $1k for the last 9 weeks. I leave on Tuesday, earlier than planned due to an airline strike. I think there will be 4 tournaments I'll play with > 50k for 1st tomorrow, they are my last hopes of reaching this target.I think unless I win a huge amount of money at the WSOP (obviously a possibility) I will be taking a 3 month break from poker entirely starting July.

HighwayStar 8 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Went deep in 2 tournaments with 50k+ for 1st. 90th in the WU and 16th in the 2nd chance ...lost flips to bust both. Netted 2.6k between them. Link to post Share on other sites

TrueAce13 18 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Yeah, upadate on my goal: My first goal, was to get out of makeup. Finally have done that by winning about 11k in the past week and a half. I hope that I can get a decent score in the next 2 weeks before heading out to Vegas for a the month. Maybe I will just win the Caesars $340 on thursday and not worry too much about money after that Link to post Share on other sites

TrueAce13 18 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 sigh bricked caesars $340. Played horrible the first 2 hours. Had Dennis Phillips at my table. Was a nice guy. But finally when I decided to play good poker. I double 88>66 aipf after jamming my massive 9bbs. Busto hand was pretty standard where MP opened, button called. I'm in the SB with AQ and just jam my 19bbs in. MP folds, button tanks/calls. KQ. runner 4card flush. ggGonna tho make some money here in the next week to have for when I get back out here Link to post Share on other sites
qyayqi 11 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 lurbz, do you see much difference between the $6.50 and $12 45turbos? Link to post Share on other sites
JSpencer 0 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Really starting to lose confidence....Seem to keep getting really deep in big tournaments and suffering HORRIFIC bad beats right before cashing each time. The frequency of them and the way they are hitting seems almost unnatural. Beginning to think I am just cursed to lose every decisive hand. Link to post Share on other sites
