Wee, finally strung together a few winnings sessions at nl50 after addressing some serious leaks I had.
I put in a 75 minute session this morning for a few bi (started pretty ul, but the cards evened out and I won a few big pots by the end of the session)
I'm starting to feel very comfortable at NL50 and expect/hope to be able to pull atleast 2bb/100+ (I play 16-24 tables mostly) there until I reach NL100
Ok, some tournament information, first off I'm allowing myself to play all MTT's again.
I'll be taking some precautions though, such as;
Say for instance, if I win $13,000, I'm not going to go into NL200, I'm going to continue to grind up the limits til im +20bi and have atleast 25,000 hand sample size on each limit before moving up, so I know I can beat the limit if need be anytime in the future
*just preparations and aspirations*
For my MTT days, I will be either devoting a whole day to them (up to 10% bankroll investment in entry fees monday-saturday : except sundays where I'm staked for and have a set amount to play MTT's on), or playing 1-4 bigger tournies later in the day. I'll be playing mtt's on Sundays and 1-2 days out of the week.
hrm, so im just about back in the green at The Fitty, inching closer to NL100 and hope to be there soon.
so im pretty stoned, gonna chill for a bit and play some more cash later or maybe a few mtt's
(btw this now revokes what i said that i would give $25 to any player who spots me playing mtt's months ago, theres no reason for me not to play mtt's and i've been learning a ton, and am 100% confident in my bankroll management now)
Great success, after 35/65 split I get $1110, and 50/50 stakes for now on instead of 35/65
today was a great day, back over 3k finally! (been gone a few days u know )
+450 in the sunday turbo takedown
+1400 in the warm up
+1691 in the million
i made a few mistakes late game in the mil, went over them with a tournament professional and have learned some lessons
So look forward to me splitting 4-5days a week at nl50 and 1-2 days a week playing MTT's
If I do score big in MTT's, I'm going to continue to play each limit up until I'm +20bi on each limit. I want to learn to beat every single limit on stars consistently (at least until 1/2)
I appreciated everyones support today, very ul in the warmup at the end, most lag crazy player at the table wakes up with AA when hes been opening 3/9 hands per orbit vs my JJ otb... oh well, thats how tournies go sometimes
Just smoked a nice J, gonna go watch some tv for a few and pass out
Tomorrow I might play some MTT's, but I'm craving some NL50 6max too. Maybe start the day off at NL50 6max and play some MTT's in the afternoon
Todays going to be a 1 day huge tournament day for me ;
Schedule at bottom
I was on vacation the last 4 days and didn't have enough FPP for the sunday turbo takedown, but no worries, I won my first fpp tourney for a seat (2000 FPP 10 man, just like the sunday mil ones)
I'll be playing $5 tournies to $216 tournies, one unlimited rebuy tourney (11r with $51 stop loss), but I will play tournaments with 1rebuy 1add-on, since they will be easy to track on OPR
hopefully todays my tourn and I can take one of these down :-)
wish me luck LP
I'm playing on a 1k sunday stake (my bankroll is $2137 for cash) at 35/65%, and will be playing in two of the sunday $216's, or 1 sunday 216 and 1 50 1r1a, i'll know soon when I go through the lobby and choose my MTT's for today
My tournament schedule today
$11 Deep stacks
$22 $32,000 gntd
$10+1 sunday two hundred grand [200k gntd]
$11 turbo 10k gntd
$215 sunday warm up [750k gntd]
$11r 70k gntd *** <-- * see at bottom - $51 max
$5.50r *** <-- * see bottom - $25.50 max
3r - $15.30 max
$11 10k gntd
$5.50 5k gntd
$109 50k gntd
$11 30k gntd
$22 1r1a = $62 tournament [small field and very winnable]
$55 Daily 80 grand (125k gntd)
1 Million Turbo Takedown - FPP victory
$215 Sunday Million
27.50 360 players max
16.50 360 players max
$16.50 [turbo]
$11 30k gntd
$5.50 6max
9.90 turbo [only final table pay so if I make it payouts are very big)
$11 1r1a --> $31 tournament
$27.50 40k gntd
8.80 turbo 10k gntd
2.20 turbo - 3k gntd
$1062.70 assuming I max rebuy in the 1r1a's and i spend $51 in the 11r and spend $25.50 in the 5r (rebuys will go in top right corner of monitor two so I can monitor them)
Assuming i need to double rebuy and lose the $11r, $1042.70 assuming I double rebuy and still bust before the first hour, and $1032.70 assuming I double rebuy and bust during the first hour
*I will only allow 1 double rebuy in the 11r/5r to make this tournament no more expensive than $10+20+10 / 5+10+5 = for a chance at the 70k and 50k prize pools)
There will be 0 cashgame hands played until late tonight (after midnight, or tomorrow morning) - if you see me play cashgames on this tourney day I will instaship you $25
To my understanding, whatever I win over the $1k investment I keep 35% of, and if I lose $1-1k then i will be reimbursed my loses up to $1,000 from todays starting bankroll of $2,137) and payback the difference in makeup whenever my bankroll is $26,000
I invested around $1060, $60 over which I don't mind to take a small hit on if I don't have a winning day, since this allows me to play all the MTT's I want to maximize my profitability
Well, 2 just started, wish me luck, if I make it deep in any tournies I'll be sure to keep LP posted
I've been on vacation for the last 4 days, I hadn't blogged a couple days before that cuz i had a 30bi ds and took a day off, then played the next day and won back 10bi and had to leave to go to my hometown for a couple days
Things were fun up there, its the coldest place in the usa somedays (literally)
On my drive to my hometown my windshield wipers were broken, so I buy some Rain-X to help the fix the matter which it did help, but I went blind in snowstorms multiple times, one time with a tractor trailer honking his horn at me cuz apparently my trunk was open, although I never noticed
Stopped at sheetz about 20 miles later and found out it was open, drove for like 60-80 miles like that lawl
My bankrolls $2137 right now, I haven't been doing to well at the fitty, but the mistakes I was making (3 major leaks) I have acknowledged and am in the process of fixing (main leak was, I was aiming for 5+bb/100 instead of around 2bb/100. 5bb/100+ is totally unrealistic playing over 16+ tables itlr, which I didn't understand since I was a blaster for the last 15 months, some other things I'd rather not post because NL50 players can read here)
My very good friend lostaccount (jlost88) helped me by teamviewering my pt3 and going through my stats with me (something i'm not the greatest at)
I'm actually down a few bi at nl50, but after my 4-5 days off I'm ready to come back with a bang
Oh, and an IRL friend has given me $1k to run in MTT's tomorrow (at 100% makeup) for 35/65, so I'll be running a lot of tournaments all day sunday and starting cashgame grind monday or tuesday ::edit - 30/70 to 35/65, thanks man)
Wish me luck in the MTT circuit tomorrow, I hope to god I take one down
Almost forgot about the turbo takedown, thought it was next weekend, i only have 3250 fpp right now,mf! ok, gonna have to run some fpp satellites tonight and win a seat into it
Ive been on a crazy breakeven stretch, down 5bi today, im cutting my tables down to 8 and massive notetaking and playing rather than nutpeddling 24 tables, when u run bad 24 tabling can fucking hurt
i honestly think i will make more 8 tabling with notes than 12-24 tabling anyways, so many weak playes to pick on
i guess thers no resaon to mass table until u have stats and notes on everyone at the current limit anyways
so now i'll be 8 tabling, and expecting a much higher winrate since i will be playing more skillbased and less cardbased poker again
anything to end this downswing y.y;;
i've learned a ton through every downswing and i think this is something i learned that i will need to stick with all the way up the limits to be as proitable as possible, since nl100+ will be harder and harder
well, down 5bi right now, time to make it back, or atleast some of it (although I just lost another bi AJ vs A9 allin pf (i raise co and button shoves and i snap cuz hes a lagtard maniac...
as previously stated whenever I am playing a MTT I must blog about it, or owe $25 to anyone who sees me in the tournament, so heres the blog, i'm taking today off mostly, but plan to play the 200k for shits n giggles, maybe a luckbox
we'll see how tonight goes, but i don't like to play cash after chasing 30k 1st places, so most likely i'll call it a night win or lose or w/e
Other than that, heres my plans for today
Hurricane bong - $600 - $1,000
With some music, shit, you might as well all get stoned to my page today :-)
Alright boys, GL on your sunday endevours, let LP take one down one time
Put in two sessions today, first session was really terrible, so many coolers it was unbelievable, and whenever it wasn't a cooler i was sucked out on.
no worries though, took 10 mins off, got stoned and relaxed, came back and won what i lost +10
I've revamped my 6max guide and its much more solid now imo, although I will still do alot of creative plays as I see them, I've changed around quite a few things (don't really want to post specifics since other NL50 regs can read here)
hrm, so i won my 1st 5400 fpp satellite last night, and now that im platinumstar i've almost made all the fpp back from that, so its like a free +215 :-)
I'm going to continue to play them when im sessioning, forgot to this morning, but plan on doing a couple today
well, my ds seems to be coming to an end, i've made many adjustments at nl50, spotted a few leaks and have toned my game down quite a bit
Going to go watch some TV, maybe some wii and come back to grind later
happy to be back at even after being down 9bi 2 hours ago
