School is -EV

2007-09-11T20:04:00.000-07:00

I went back to school on the 5th for my junior year. I've been really busy with school and work so I was just able to play my first sng on the 10th, totally lame.

I played a $6.00 turbo sng and took it down. I'm getting back in the game and am even from my sport bets with luske and the cardplayer forum tournament, which I had a disappointing bubble Birch finish.

Hopefully I can find sometime to play tomorrow either after or before work, but probably not.

Ballin!!!

2007-08-29T21:49:00.000-07:00

played 4 SNG's today and for the most part did really well.

I got 1st in a $5, 2nd in a $5 and 3rd in a $5.

I did get a disappointing 7th in a $10 which I don't even know why I took a shot at it.

I'll be playing more tomorrow and am gonna give 'em hell!

Lots of poker

2007-08-27T19:19:00.000-07:00

I've been playing poker essentially all day and am exhausted.

I played like 3-4 SNG's and got 1st and 2nd in 2/4.

And I had a ton of fun playing in a $1 rebuy tourney, which loretta actually was at my table. I never understood why people said rebuy's were so much fun but now I know why. I didn't cash in the tourney but I did learn that online poker is rigged because my QQ cracked Loretta's 9-10 when we got it allin before the flop, it was a miracle I won ;)

Hopefully I'll run gooooooooooood and can cash in some more SNG's tomorrow.

Climbin the ladder

2007-08-21T14:28:00.000-07:00

After having my confidence shattered at the felt, I'm back in it and the bankroll is goin up again.

Thank god.

A disciplinary move

2007-08-06T12:12:00.000-07:00

I've decided to move back down to 10NL and to cash out my $60 profit I made. I feel like I don't have the bankroll to handle the variance and when the bad run of cards comes I'm gonna get owned.

I'm still keeping $200 on fulltilt and am gonna play 10NL(again) and $5 and $10 sng's.

Hooray for moving down!!

Breakin' Even

2007-08-05T20:52:00.001-07:00

Played a $6 turbo Sng, got 2nd in that for $10 profit.
Then I played 25NL for $25 profit.
Later in the day I got stacked in 25NL in a sick way.
And I lost $10 in the cp forum weekly, but had a lot of fun.

So I broke completly even today,but am upset, and I don't know why...probably just PMS or something.

I'm gonna get a good night of sleep and install pokertracker tomorrow and I'll be ready for the tables again.

18th place

2007-08-03T20:31:00.000-07:00

I got 18th in the MTT for a small cash of $15 total. Not bad for my first MTT I guess, I'll definently be playing more of these in the future though.

I am very excite!!!

2007-08-03T19:01:00.000-07:00

I'm playing in a $5 MTT on fulltilt. We're down to 78 and I'm in 22nd place. I was really low but then went on a sick run where i went from 2k in chips to 11k in chips in like 6 hands!!!!

More updates to come.....

A good and Bad day at 0.05-0.10

2007-08-02T21:18:00.000-07:00

Session 1: Awesome

I'm playing 5cent-10cent on fulltilt. I've been sitting around, about 100 hands and not hitting my hands. I've gotten AK 3 times but I wiffed each time and was forced to fold after some action.

Then this hand comes up.....

UTG+1 had 8 A (Ace King high) and LOST (-$9.90)

Hero had Q Q (three of a kind, Queens) and LOST (-$9.05)

That put me up $15 on the session, I then got AA and won the next hand, nothing interesting happened. Then I got JJ and lost a very small pot.

So I quit for the day, the fish with a lot of money left, and I decided I'd come back later to play.

Session 2: Not good
I sat down, and the hand before I watched a big stack open shoved for $37, so I knew this had to be a good game, and I added her to my buddy list immediately.
The fishes name is: Hottieinarizona.

Anyway, first hand i get AK, and basically, I just bluffed off half of my stack to the girl when she turned a straight. Here's the hand history, I'm definently looking forward to playing with her in the future ;).

Everyone else has a poker blog, so I figured, why not get one myself.
