ChrisRichey 1 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 March goals:- FT four 180s I FT'd one today, made a questionable call and busted 8th- FT two ds sngs Lol, check. FT'd two yesterday. 9th and 3rd.- Be up around 150-200 bbs at .50/1 TD, with the occasional shot at 1/2 if the game is good.- Finish the month around 1.2kHaven't really played any triple draw lately, I will prob get in on a few games tomorrow because they are usually REALLY juicy on the weekend. I also won a $26 token sat on FT, then played a $75 token sat and took 3rd for $66. BR is about $630 right now. Let's see if I can keep this sick run up, it's been over three weeks now.

iggymcfly 0 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Tournaments are so disappointing. I was running pretty well on my trip, so I decided to play the $2,000 buy-in event today at the Wynn Poker Classic. First prize was $141,000. I made one bad calldown with two pair on the first level, but after that I was on my A+ game. Making good steals at the right times, but still being really patient and getting it in good whenever I played a big pot. Honestly, it was the best I've played in quite a while.With three tables left to go, I was the chip-leader with about 115,000 of the ~925,000 chips in play. So I call a push in the BB with 88 against SB's A7, lose 27K when he hits his ace, then lose another big pot where I isolated with QJs against 44 with quite a bit of dead money in the pot and blanked out. Also lose a couple more small to medium pots where I do nothing wrong but have to fold the flop and my stack's back at about 56,000. Then after about 9.5 hours total, I make my first real mistake since Round 1 as I try to come over the top of a SB "resteal" when I raise the button with 33. Against the range I had him on, it was +EV, but I think that range was a little too loose against the given player and at the very least, I should have spent more time studying him for some kind of physical tell. Anyway, he turns over AA, makes a straight on the turn and that's the end of it.I still got in the money, getting $4,735 for 16th, but it's so disappointing when you have a chance to make a big cash like that and then blow it. Especially with the chip stack I had going for a while, I really thought that this was going to be a big breakthrough and I was going to get my first six-figure or at least high five-figure cash.

CobaltBlue 662 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Two material goals that I should've put down...Get a new mouse as my old one "glitches" (like momentarily freezes). Did that last evening and I haven't done much playing yet, but I can tell that it was exacerbating any tendency to tilt.Additionally, I'd like to get a laptop this month.

jmkiser 0 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Get a new mouse as my old one "glitches" (like momentarily freezes).I just got a Logitech MX Revolution for Christmas and I love it although it's funny you mention the "glitches" as it tends to do that sometimes.Although, I do wonder if it is the computer sometimes...Anyway, I've never made "poker goals" before. And I'm sadly doing this as I just tried to bully someone who check called PF down to the river (villain had a draw on the flop, paired bottom pair on the turn, and missed the river... still called for his whole stack... no biggie, though )March Goals:- With my $67 br on AP, play .05-.10 nlhe up to the next level (.10/.25 I think) and erase as many recognizable leaks from my cash game.- Get a job at one of the card clubs around here as a dealer (I have experience, good with math and chips, fast with cards, and nice with people if you have a place in Central Indiana ) <--- how's that for a shameless plug?- Pick one of three directions to take my life now that I've turned 21 1 Stay here and go back to college in the fall to finish a degree 2 Work here and enjoy myself for awhile and then take a more serious direction/obligation 3 Take a one year long-distance relationship (yes, we've visited many times in person by travel) to the next step and actually move out to California to pursue my interests in the hotel/casino industry.

Abbaddabba 0 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 i was break even at 5/10 limit for about 35k hands.alongside which, i was 4BB/100 at 10/20 for 15k hands. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 my current goal is to get my neteller situation figured out. once i do that, hopefully use my new neteller to make accounts/deposit at several different sites in an effort to solidify my bankroll with bonuswhoring. probably will buy a second monitor and play 8-12 tables of 2/4 LHE or so.once i get those bonuses done in a month or two, switch to SHLHE full-time, and work on moving up limits.oh, and hopefully get in a ton of hands at BetSafe, and make a run at one of the top prizes in their MPP race, though i'll probably be starting way too far behind to get a WSOP package.

You're playing too passively IMO, probably calling down with combo draws too much rather than repotting. Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Don't know if this was obvious from my previous post, but I'm pretty much completely broke. Less than $1,000 to my name now. The vast majority of those losses have come from playing pit games and one disastrous live session where I was almost black-out drunk and lost ~$28K. Maybe $10-$12K total of my losses have come from playing poker when I was sober.Anyway, what I really want to do is just grind up small-to-mid-stakes games now with a real bankroll. I don't want to play underrolled any more, I don't need any more gamble, I just want to steadily win again. If anyone wanted to stake me for 10/20 LHE or maybe even 1/2 PLO on Bodog, I'd be glad to hear offers via PM. If there's nothing sizeable though, I'll probably just fill out some credit card applications and see what I can do. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 If I had the money, I'd be first in line, Iggy.Vegas gayed me too, from Pit games, and I'm down to a $1k BR myself. Link to post Share on other sites
