$10,000 so close!

Author : davidlarsson, Posted on: 11.03.2009

Haha, I was pretty excited about this final table I was on just a few minutes ago, first price was $9,625 and I just said in the previous post that I would make $10,000 when I got home, unfortunately I went out as 5th for $2,800 which made it a good day anyway with profits for over $4,000. Damn though, would\’ve been so funny if I actually have made it to $10,000… Maybe tomorrow, who knows :)

Cya later, going to bed now after I\’ve taken a shower!

A new beginning

I just recieved money from Jesse, so I decided to reset the bankroll here to $12,000 so you guys can follow the action. It\’s going to be fun to be able to play the $150-$200 tourneys on Full Tilt, I think they\’re pretty weak compared to Pokerstars. Anyways, I won\’t play much untill next week but I\’ll keep you updated if I do…

Wish me luck :)

Finally!

I finally final tabled another 180 player $38 dollar SNG. The feeling was great and for the first time in a very long time I actually felt something while playing for money and the top 1-3 place was really tempting. Everything went very smooth untill I ran my KK into AQ and he obviously had to hit the A on the turn which crippled me badly but I managed to come back and I got all the way to heads up.

I think I played better than the guy I was facing heads up but he still managed to win when my ThJd didn\’t hold up against his Ks2s when the turn gave me the straight and he caught a flushdraw which lead to the obvious spade on the river. I don\’t think I could ever fold that river though when we had so much invested in the pot and the blinds were so high, oh well, I\’m quite happy with the overall result and I guess that\’s just poker!

By the way, the payout structure in these are kind of wicked, basically, you have to end up 1st to 3rd most of the time if you are going to play these tourneys profitably since;

1st pays $1,782.00

2nd pays $1,188.00

3rd pays $706.86

and after that every payout is under $475.20 bucks and with the swings in the 180 turbo SNGs you\’ve got to have atleast 200 buyins which won\’t allow you to ever go for anything except top 3. I mean, if you end up at 4th place you\’ll only get $475.20 which only translates into 13 buyins.

Enough with the boring stuff, the whole post is more or less pretty dull but I\’m very tired and I really need to go to bed now! I might post something \”interesting\” tomorrow!

Good night all!

PS.

Sorry for any inconvenience / headache while reading this text, once again I\’m very tired and to be honest my english ain\’t all that good from the start:)

Running bad?

Author : davidlarsson, Posted on: 25.02.2009

I feel like I\’m running like a crippled horse who has a thing for valium, but I still ended up with a profit today, which is kind of weird. I guess I shouldn\’t complain but what the heck…

Oh and by the way, I got a private message from one of the highest stakers online today, he said he would be interested in staking me for a long time which would allow me to basically play any stakes there is online, maybe not the $1,000 SNGs but everything under which is more than enough. We\’ll see how the deal evolves but it could potentially give me the chance to play for a living… Boooyaahh!

Good night everyone!

Up and down!

superfamous 16 -$42 $47 -85% -$676

Stopped playing today after only a few games since nothing really worked out for me, but I hope that by tomorrow it will turn around again!

Running hot hot hot!

Stats for this session:

superfamous 41 $124 $44 213% $5,064

Well, was out the whole weekend partying and when I woke up on sunday I felt the urgent need to play poker, registered for a couple of SNG MTTs and just ran hotter than ever. After only 1 hour I was up over +$1,700 which lead to a very confident play during the whole session.

I really do hope that this upswing will last for a couple of days, would be nice to hit $15,000-$20,000 before May atleast. Anyways, have to go to bed, getting up early which sucks since it drains all my powers, urgh, oh well, can\’t do much about it…

Good luck at the tables!

Sick swings!

Author : davidlarsson, Posted on: 20.02.2009

First update on my pblog and guess what, the swings on the $60 / 45s are just as sick as scaphism said they would be, first session I played 52 games with a whopping ROI of 63% which resulted in a profit of +$2,071. The next day I played 55 games, was down -$1,500 for a while but then it turned and I ended up with a +$401 profit. But as most poker players know, every upswing has a downswing waiting around the corner, 47 games played, down -$961, the day later I played 34 games and lost -$772.

I guess these swings are not that bad since I\’ve seen people with $5,000 swings at these levels, going to be fun and exciting to see how the graph evolves and hopefully I\’ll hit a $5,000 upswing rather than a downswing…

Good luck at the tables!
