[b]WCOOP[/b] I haven't written in my blog for a few weeks now and I felt like doing so today. I played a bunch of WCOOP events this year even though I hardly have any tournament experience. It was fun and thrilling to play them and I got pretty deep in a few of them. Unfortunately I didn't get to the big amounts so overall I lost money in the WCOOP. The WCOOP 320R PLO event cost me 2400$ because I ran pretty bad there. In the end I bubbled pretty close to the money while having a shortstack for the most part in the tourney. I had a chance to triple up when I got it in with aces preflop but I got sucked out having 42% equity in the pot 3way. In all the hold'em events the tourney I got deepest in was the 530$ WCOOP (event 6 I think). I even was 2nd in chips with 1200 players left but it all went downhill from there. Oh well, doesn't matter that much, I liked playing the tournaments and it was definitely a good experience. Overall I think I lost around 4k on the tournaments I played this month. [b]Cashgame[/b] Apart from trying those tournaments, I also tried playing some more 2kNL this month. I got totally butchered there as I ran obnoxiously bad there and I dropped 17k on 2kNL. I really have no idea how much I'm up or down because I've played some omaha at stars and I lost 4k in omaha at Propaganda. At least I know I'm up in NLHE though as those hands are saved. I also tried playing some more headsup on 400NL just to get a feel for the game. I played pretty good and ran pretty decently beating a few headsup regulars for a bunch of buyins. I think I have a really big edge against the HU regulars there. It also helps that they don't recognize my screenname, because when I tried playing 1kNL HU the regulars that I noticed from the 6-max games wouldn't play me. Because of the headsup wins I have a pretty sick winrate at 400NL this month. I also ran pretty well in the 600NL games so my winrate there is also really good. So this month is still decent considering I lost 17k on 2kNL. So all in all I think I'm around break-even this month which isn't all that bad. Just gotta grind more mid limits before taking shots at 2kNL again. [b]Stats and graph of the month[/b] [img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/269dd0a47fb41097f6175bd746dfc22f.jpg[/img] 2kNL shots at 18k and 25k hands obv ;). [img]http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictures/12ff1e125d06a211e1a95cf572c5ba51.jpg[/img] So this is missing the WCOOP losses, the PLO -4k on iPoker and the money I won at stars in PLO. All that added up and I'm about breakeven with rakeback etc. Hope to run better in October. That's what I love about new months anyway, a fresh start. No worries about that you were up a lot of money and lost it all in a big session or whatever, you're at 0$ again. Good luck everyone in october.

Pokerwise September hasn't been my month yet. I keep having these sessions where I play solid and just grind a profit but then everything goes into a shitstorm and I lose all my profit to a bunch of dumb beats. Today was such a day. I grinded up 3 buyins in 1500 hands, good for 5ptbb/100, only to lose it all by losing AQ against AJ on an A high flop, losing JJ against KQ on T high flop, stuff like that. I also made a few big bluffs that were pretty well excecuted in my opinion, but I ran into the nuts twice so that kind of sucks too. So far my September graph looks like this: [img]http://www.ballerpoker.com/upload/images/news/september.jpg[/img] So I haven't really lost anything yet so that's ok but given that I haven't been running well it does kind of suck that I haven't made profit yet in those 7000 hands. I'm happy that I played that amount of hands in 4 days though, because yesterday I didn't play at all. On other news my second video (50NL 4 table 6max) was released and I haven't really received a lot of feedback on that so it would be nice if you guys could give me pointers or just tell me that I did a good job ;).** On other news I had a friend over this evening to talk about moving into a place in Amsterdam or something surrounding Amsterdam. We went searching for some apartments and we'll probably want to move out somewhere between now and the next 3 months. I'm definitely looking forward to it. ** crossposted from ballerpoker.com - [b]what people might not now here is that the streaming version off the vids we have over there isn't working correctly [u]yet[/u], that's why you have to download the original. The link is under the streaming version. Just download that one and you can watch it.[/b]
