Poker Blog - NH GG FU

Woke up at 8pm and missed most of my regular tourneys so played the 3e rebuy (don’t laugh! 1st place pays up to 900 Euros and it’s the softest mtt i have ever played)… Final tabled it and got sucked out in 4th place gg me.

Next Mtt I played was the €20 Rebuy on boss (€3500 Euros Guaranteed). Obviously I crushed it and won about €1200 for my trouble in my second back to back final table. The guy I played hu folded 90% of hands hu so I kinda steamrolled him

One more FT 2morrow and I get into the boss network Final Table Freeroll (a 10 man SNG with €15k Prizepool - to enter you must Final Table 3 of the guaranteed Tournies on boss consecutively), so will have to pick a soft mtt such as a piddly small rebuy.

Shipppped.

I have been 6-8 tabling on cash tables on boss (with the daily mtts thrown in for good measure). Things have been quite swingy (I have been taking 1 to 2k swings), but cash is consistently easy money and the players are so bad on boss it’s unreal.

I checked my celeb poker rakeback (you can check via their website) and I have raked 1k Euros (about $1800) in 3 days or so.. so the plan is to do my daily stuff and grind 5-8 tables (3 full ring and 5 6 max) and i should be looking at maybe 7k (or $14,000 F*ckers!) in rakeback at the end of the month on top of my profits (or losses.. but that’s negative thinking!)

some hands from today

I boat up on river and get paid - this guy is pretty lag (having called a shove for a BI with 2nd pair and rivering a straight against me) and we have been at war. I liked my valuebet on river.. I tried to be slightly on the weak side as I don’t think he’s calling a shove here.

Next hand I get KK and RRAI over a raiser and a reraiser and they fold.

next hand after that I get Jacks again.. and with my stack its an easy shove, and somehow they hold against the shorty

Fullring is tasty as I just play super TAG and nitty, and play for stacks. of course it helps when you flop a set

more poker 2mor hopefully. CASH IS KINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg (with rakeback ! )

Finally after a long stint of fking up my Final table runs (eg. 7th last night in 10kEuros rebuy) I grinded up a monster 70bb stack in the 4k Euros Gteed and Managed to get Heads up and got busted…

Exit hand - If This had held I am confident I would have won the game as I was running over the table. Still 2nd is ok… and Cash is King.

The money jump was pretty extreme too with >400 euros in difference between 1st and Second…

MTTS:
7th in the 10k euros rebuy on boss for about 400e sigh. shoved 10bb with 94o, guy timebanks and calls with a3o and I brick. 1st paid 3k euros Grr.

moving on, had a monster stack in the 4k euros on boss.. squeezed with aqo cos i was running so damn good - guy calls with TT and I donk out like a muppet. GG me.

Cash

Long struggle - playing good, getting fked over in the pots that mattered..

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2770403 JJ NO GOOD - -£437.30
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2770632 I hit a flush for €341.00
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2770371 I suck with Aces -£675
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2770349 I finally win with aces

1 hand I had KK and there was a raise and reraise. I said to my buddy on msn that the guy prob has aces.. We get it all in and low and behold he has Aces.

Ended up about evens but have 10% of a horse on a FT at the mo and prob raked a few hundred.. hard day but breakeven is ok

my pokerhand reads like an obituary

I lose with KK in a 3 way pot. .to a 13%er.. (For CL and final domination sigh).. Can’t seem to get KK to hold when I am deep.

18th/900 in a 10$ Mtt on stars AK < KT thanks stars. I wish I could reclaim the hours Wasted.

Its hard to win a game when you can’t get jacks to hold versus 32o

Slept till 6 so missed all the sats to the big games on stars (fk paying)

came 3rd in the 3keuros 20e rebuy on boss for a few hundred.. got dealt AA x4.. that’s the only way to win on boss these days for me it seems..

Cash : this hand was tasty $897 Pot, and a boat for good measure (€569.00 pot)… I destroyed this guy and took his whole BR afaik.. His exit hand

shibbed.

played the sat for the 1k supertuesday on stars last night.. played ok and got to about 4th/10 with 7 packages to the event.. I turned my hand into a bluff and got looked up by a guy with 2nd pair and a flushdraw (a hand that pretty much played itself) and I busted sickeningly in 10th place haha!

I see celeb poker are running a tourney with a 20k euros buyin in a few months - the biggest Online Poker Tournament buyin ever apparently. They expect 1 million Euros at least in the prizepool.. Sats are runnning so I’ll give it a go… altho its ridic expensive and more of a PR vehicle imo.

min wsop on Fulltilt that is! haha.

I am running a little staking competition on a poker forum I frequent. Candidates must add a caption to a picture of me looking pretty rough (I had been up till 6am playing a cash game the night before the main event…) at the last GUKPT. I also happened to be rubbing my eyes and look like death..

If you wan’t to be staked (or have a laugh at my expense instead!), here’s the thread!

Here’s hoping one of my horses brings back the bacon baby.

can kiss my ass..

1st up the $215 Sunday warmup:

EP raises, and I minraise him to induce a shove - Good Game me.

Very next hand in the $109:

Kings are bound to be good preflop

2 outered x2 in two big-buyin tournies. Sick.

how good do i run?

Today I Played cash on stars (4 tabling 1/2 and 2/4), swung 700$ up to 1200$, got rivered x2 for 400 pots and started grinding it up again…

Quads on the board, but I scoop the pot

I shove a 3bet pot to put the pressure on with AK and TID (altho I got busted x2 today with the same move shoving overs or repped nuts into flopped nuts.. oops)

Donkey calls to river on AK board with 33!!! for stacks.

I never win with Aces.. esp $700 pots.

bottom line: +$450ish … would be a lot more if i could actually get 2pair or Aces to hold.

Also played a wsop rebuy sat. Lost with KK, QQ, JJ and AA in the 1st hour. riggggggggggged.

bottom line: +463

Got up at 10pm (eek), so just played the midnight 109$ on stars:

story of my life - Dunno why the guy jammed Q6o tbh.. he was limping k9o and q7s in late pos and calling 4x raises adn cbetting like a maniac.. he was never getting a fold from me.. or Anyone.

next hand I played was 66 < ATo, gg me.

edit: I played the $150+$12 100k Gteed on stars (753 entrants). Some hands:

I managed to get an early start with a dubious call
I lose half my stack after limping with queens.. I was hoping someone behind me would raise it sigh.
QQ holds V 88
Rossag hates life - and I love it cos I am on 40k at 500/1000
I make a nitty (and horrible in retrospect) laydown with Jacks I knew UTG had a big hand and the other guy’s non-isolating raise steered me towards a fold.. I felt he had KK AA or maybe AK. Half of me was saying shove it and fistpump. In retrospect I wish I had. Sidepot would have doubled me nicely as the 2nd guy was never folding after the raise. After being totally carddead for ages, I lose a few 10 and 20bb flips and stack bubbles down from 116k (peak) to about 10bb..[60k]

Game over- 18th for $734 meh. $20,895 for 1st would have been nice. What a waste of 5 hours!

Man I can’t win jack on boss. I chip up good, get my money in good, and get screwed. More poker later, just needed to vent my disgust. I am overdue a few big wins, so will keep plugging away.
