My school schedule has pretty much killed all my MTT action from monday to thursday. If I wanna win the $27.50 [$25K gtd] at 7pm (my time), for example, I would be going to bed at around 3am with a class starting at 8:30am... That's why I am going to play full cash games for the next 6months and MTTs in the weekends.

I'm currently $1445 up at NL200 over 8750hands this month. Let's see how much I can make or lose by the end of January.

Yesterday I FT'ed the $22 [20k gtd] at Stars for $1660~ thanks to my 5th place finish.


I also played the Sunday Million and Warm-up and a few more $22 freezeouts at Titan but had no luck. Oh yeah, and I won the LP Weekly tourney for $120 and cashed at the Flipament So because of the sunday tourneys I lost a few hundred but ended up around $1300+ in the day.

I'm up this month around $4500 playing both cash games and tourneys. I hope that things don't change and keep on going the way they are now... on my side

I'm losing all my PP vs overcards races, losing all my overcards vs PP races (ironic) and losing vs 3outers like AKvsA3/AJvsAT.

The heater is over. Just kidding But I'm only $62 up at NL200 6max when at some point was +$1600. And nope, I'm not doomswitched this time, I'm playing very very very bad and the only responsible of the loses its me. I'm overplaying some hands and not folding a few pairs enough.

Other situations I'm having are:
I get KK/QQ utg and I get 4-5callers (LOL@6max) and I got to fold in monotone flops or very drawy boards or because of their beautiful sets.
I've had two AQvsAK on A-2-2 type of flops.
And some more shit.

I'm gonna play a few hands at NL100 then jump back at NL200.
I'm still $2700 this month because of my 1st place finish at a tourney a few days ago

Today after the Sunday tournaments were over, decided to take a shot at NL200. Everything went well and felt really good, like if I was playing NL2. Its ridiculously funny to know (because I didn't) how many fishes get their money in with horrible hands

I'm gonna stay at 6max if things keep going well. I said I was going to give FR another shot but I'm having second thoughts lol ;P

These are my 6max stats so far in January playing a very solid TAG style imo.



I must be in a heater. I don't think I'm going to be able to keep that bb/100 running that high for so long so lets enjoy the moment! :D

Here are a few hands:
(Green =I won the hand, Red=the opposite)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/354119 ---- AK vs KQ AIPF to win my biggest pot ever. $620 pot
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/354245 ---- flopped straight vs TPTK, $400 pot
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/354118 --- lucky fish sucks out on my AA with Q3s on a Q high flop. $160 pot
@ liquidpoker.net in spanish
http://www.tlpoker.la/h/302 ---- set vs TPTK. $400 pot
http://www.tlpoker.la/h/303 ---- 2p vs 2p. $340 pot
http://www.tlpoker.la/h/306 ---- 88 vs air. Trusted my read and induced a bluff on flop. $400 pot

Didn't post so many badbeats cause I don't want to see them again. I rather feel good watching at the hands I won and analize the beats later at PT.

I got home last night very tired and proceed to watch the Steelers vs Jaguars football game but I was getting a little bored during commercials so I started playing this $16.50 tourney. I was very sick, with a cold and some fever and just wanted to NFL game to end to go to bed but then I found myself going deep in the tourney. I didn't want to win it to be honest, I was falling sleep in the first two hours because I was sick and tired but then everything disappeared as I was taking everybody's chips.

Had a bunch of 2nd, 3rd and 4th place finishes but this is my first 1st place finish ever for $2670 and change.



Also, I played the Sunday Warm-up and Million today. Finished in 169th at the Warm up for $508 but lost at Million after two and a half hours of play.
So I kinda broke even.

Thanks to those who railed me last night and at today's Sunday Warm-up.

Five days have passed so far this year and I've already been in a rollercoaster. Picture needs no explanation.



I'm running and playing extremely bad at NL100 FR and my stats confirm it. 15/9... limping/calling a lot with suited cards and losing money in missed draws or getting my money in with very light hands like KQ. I have absolutely no confidence in playing FR for a while, but not going to give up. Going to wait a few days before playing again and fix those leaks.

I started playing NL50 6max with a solid TAG style. Worked out for me over a small sample. Moved to NL100 after playing a few NL50 6max hands but I'm playing more tight than usual... I think that is because I'm really not used to play 6max but I'll eventually loosen up and play more hands.

I also spent my FPPS in the 5400fpp sunday million 10-man SnGs with 4 seats guaranteed. Played 5 and won 3. Spent a few of those T$ and sold the rest to Ket

On a side note, I'm gonna try to clear Supernova in 4 or 5 months. 650~Fpps/day (for 5 months)seems very doable, its like 3hours of play every day. Although school starts on Jan 14th, so my ratio of playing may be lower than expected. Gotta re-evaluate that after I get on my rutine with school and other activities.

Gonna see some Cardrunners videos now. GL every1

-2007 Highlights
-Goals for this new year
-Cars I'd like to be able to buy by the end of this year

2007 Highlights

I started playing poker in February of this year. I have to say that most of my year was spent in learning the microstakes and constant reverse because of my leaks. I kinda have my improvements stopped by constant cash outs, but still, I don't think I had the need to move up the stakes very fast. I don't regret for that, because I want to keep a balance in poker, school and life.

I have 20buyins for NL600 ($12,000) but I'm still playing at NL100. I need to be able to beat NL100 before moving up to NL200, it doesn't matter if I'm rolled for it or not. Most of my money comes from tournament wins, I still need to improve my skills in order to move up at cash games.

I'm going to continue the formula cash games + tournaments, mixing them up. I don't want to become a full MTT or cash game player, I've tried them both and I have to say that I get bored from poker very fast.

Goals for this year

My goals for 2008 are to do well at school, get a girlfriend (lol) to help me with the freaking badbeats and have a nice time, and, of course the poker goal, win at least $50,000 and be able to buy a car with my own money at the very very beginning of 2009. I'm not going to set a limit or tournament buyin as a goal, cause things are going to come at its correct time and I don't wanna be in a rush.

One time yo?
(Suggestions of nice cars are always welcome, obv around $30K-$35K)

Peugeot 207cc. Price is around $27K atm.






One time LEE!!!

Best of luck to everyone
