I pretty much never play on stars (preferring the lower variance of the smaller fields on bossmedia), and I never use BRM on stars since I seldom play there. Ft was full of solid regs with between 400k and 1,1 million in PROFIT on stars.. so no easy tbl to abuse)

Anyway, I recorded this game to A) stop me exploding like a muppet when deep, and B) to get some feedback if necessary.

I’m pretty sure I could have been more aggro late on, but I think i managed to play tightish well, maybe a bit rdcrsn’ish.. hmm. that’s how I was hoping to play it, given the opponents would likely be playing very well and 4bet bluffing the shit out of me quite often. anyway comments, criticism welcome please – even if it’s just to tell me how much of a fish I am

Thought I’d blog up my poker progress recently since it’s been quite a long time since I’ve had time to blog. Overall I’ve had a good month so far on my latest BossMedia Account (old one was retired due to Celeb moving to iPoker).

I’m playing good and patiently for the most part in late-game, closing a lot (inspired by hearing shaun fking deeb’s sick stat of winning >60% of games he final tables.)

Obv I’ve been running okay too – and crushing the nits on tables of boss media. I’m game selecting the best MTTs (€25rebuy €40 deepstack and the €50k) or playing everything (costs ~€300 in buyins for an evening of grinding like 14 mtts- so you just need to final table/win one to breakeven for the evening – but just forget doing anything else if you’re doing this on a laptop with touchpad hehehe. I usually just play 3 or 4..)

Since putting in some solid grind this month, I now have a decent 41% ROI on Boss. Obligatory sharkscope screenshot (Obviously had to take screengrab before i get a grimstarr graph )

My next goal (I guess) is 70% ROI, then it’s time to find a site with bigger buyins, maybe a backer – and a solid rakeback deal.

I had some decent scores this month – a $15,000, a €2.5k, €1k and some other assorted little ones.

I also binked a $15,000 win 2nd in a $109+r on a site which shall remain nameless. wiii.

Transactions on boss last 14 days – more out than in = winning. Not spewing it all at 400nl = also winning.

Although I am doing well again, I’m not tempted to play full-time again. What an antisocial grind that would be. I love life /work / ballin’ too much to be locked in from of a pc from 9am ’till 2am every night!

Tonight / this morning I won the $109 6max (1 rebuy 1 addon) on Full Tilt, and final tabled the $8k deepstack to lose with aces to quad 3′s or something ridic. Ran pretty hot in the $100cubed, so I don’t mind losing with the rockets too much.

the $100 cubed paid $9600 and 8th place or whatever in the other 1 paid like 450$ for a nice little $10k session. Thanks to my lucky railers Kennl and Amatay. <3.

Dear alexrossUKGF,
You finished the tournament in 1st place. A USD 7,339.00 award has been credited to your Real Money account.
You earned 465.51 tournament leader points in this tournament. For information about our tournament leader board, see our web site at bla bla bla..

So I just won the $50 1r/1a (aka $50 cubed). Sick tables at the end with breethe (who i beat headsup) and mement-mori as well as rdcrsn. anyway i run good and played well (or maybe it was my Lucky lolipop avatar). yay

I logged in to bossmedia after cashing out the other day (as I don’t play there much anymore since they fucked up the structures and payouts of every mtt). I had $100 rakeback as it was the start of the month, so rather than deposit, I ran it up to over €1500 by bumhunting low stakes while doing some other stuff.
It seemed logical to go out on the sauce on friday night and to sit down and €1000 nl cash tables while drunk for a little spin up.

Some fun hands (I’m not posting my screenname, as I don’t want people to google me and find out that I can actually play.. amazing how many people you can google and see how they play from their pokerhand account or weaktight etc.. silly people giving away EV imo..):

[hands][are][in][€,][not][$]
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4749063 – somehow I run-good and hit the nuts.over a G..
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4750333 – Villain spazzes out with tp ok kicker on a double flush board., ship the pot to me.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4750392 – again, I have 2p on a sick draw board but villain stacks off.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4750427 – I overbet river and get paid with the nuts for €2044
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4750454 – Somehow I hit my draw for €1700

and finally, this was a nice hand to end the night on, +€6500 in less than 24 hours, not bad for a predominantly tournament player.
