ME day 1C recap

I_run_godlike — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:06:11 +0000

my first table was very very tight, complete different dynamic than it was last year. but there's a semi-aggro monkey on my right who talks a lot and opens a lot of pot. Needless to say, he is one of the biggest contributors to my stack. Nothing interesting in the first 3 lvls except for couple of hands.. Hand 1: utg (pokerstar qualifier) limped, i limped behind w/ 77, btn limped, bl...

$5k 6max event recap

I_run_godlike — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 05:07:00 +0000

probably the worst run prelim event I've ever played. nothing spectacular within the first 2-3 hrs except for 2 hands. 1st hand: everyone folds to me otb with ATo at 75/150 with eff. stack of 16k. I opened to 500 cuz the bb is an old guy who defends his bb pretty wide and plays quite straightfoward. BB 3bets to 1600 and I flat with intention of using my postflop skill to take down the pot l...

WSOP Event 39 recap

I_run_godlike — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 18:11:28 +0000

Hate to say this but it's just another "play good but run bad" day. Nothing much happened during the lvl 1. Toward the end of level2, the very last hand: 50/100, utg limped, mp limped, co raised to 900 with 200 left, I picked up AKcc and reshoved all in. everyone folded and co calls with QThh and flopped Qx9x5h, turn 2nd heart, River Ah completing his flush. nh sir. lvl3, 7...

wsop event 28 recap.

I_run_godlike — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:08:16 +0000

Another $1500 donkfest. I am in all confidence to say that I played the best tournament poker in my entire poker career in this event, tho the result went the opposite. My stack went from 4500 to 1300 in the first orbit when my AK < QQ aipf; but that's not it! I made a sick come back just couple of hours later. first I had 79hh on 88998 board and this fish bet/fold the river (whi...

wsop event 13 update- barryG 2 to my right!

I_run_godlike — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 07:05:18 +0000

I ended up busting with BarryG at lvl 5 when he shoved a fish's limp w/ ATo and I reshipped w/ AJo for 4kish at 100/200/25 and the fish snapped w/ AQdd. Here are some remarkable hands that happened. There was an old rock, literally only plays QQ+ AK directly to my left. 50/100 mp limped, I had about 8k and looked down AKo from sb and pumped it up to 500, the old rock min 3bet to ...

come cheer for me.

never been this steaming and frustrated. $2500 6m

I_run_godlike — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 19:04:41 +0000

So I just got knocked out of the 6max tournament in lvl 2. I have no regrets on all my plays, to be honest, I think I played all my hands in an optimal manner. Table was really crazy, guy 2 to my right is opening at least 65% if not 80% of the hands preflop. Devil Fish is directly to my left who's playing like a spewtard as well. Seat 3 is terribad but not as spewy-tardish as seat 5 and sea...

5/28-6/1 Bellagio/Rio 5/10 NL cash game recaps

I_run_godlike — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 02:15:31 +0000

The cash game has been quite swingy for me as well. Lost 800 the first day at Rio's 2/5 6max, up about 2900 from 5/10 and then proceed to lose 2200 the night before I came back to LA. I don't know if I remember all of the big pot or interesting hands but I'll try my best. 5/29 Rio's 2/5 6max. Players were just incredibly horrible, just as any other live FR players who are loose/pass...

5/30 WSOP event 4, day 1A recap

I_run_godlike — Sun, 31 May 2009 06:12:33 +0000

Nothing much to say about the tournament except for I was the chip leader at the table with 6375 in chips at the first break (started with 3k and 25/25), but proceed to lose 3 coin flips in a row after the break and everyone else but me was literally short stacking and forced me to flip with them. Hand 1 (50/100) UTG (a monkey) with about 4500 in chips opens to 250 UTG1, short stack shove...

I can't wait for WSOP 2009

I_run_godlike — Thu, 28 May 2009 18:53:17 +0000

This is the first time I blog about myself, I thought this would be a good idea to update my WSOP status to my investors and to keep myself motivated in many other ways. I'm very thankful and grateful for those who purchased my action, I will do my best to play my A game and hopefully run like god for one time! Having a downswing for the past 3 months certainly didn't help with my bankro...
