PokerStars Tournament #65238053 'Sunday Hundred
Grand [$11 NLHE, 10m levels]'
Buy-In: $10.00/$1.00
18572 players
Total Prize Pool: $185,720.00

Tournament started - 2007/11/04 - 15:30:00 (ET)

Dear Beelzenef,

You finished the tournament in 386th place.
A $74.29 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

Congratulations!
Thank you for participating.

Needless to say, my first Sunday Hundred Grand went well. I also had a nice session yesterday that consisted of a ridiculous heater. I think I hit sets on a third of my pocket pairs, which was quite fun. I made $50 in 1200 hands (NL10), and then since the tables seemed fishy and I was running good I decided to play some more Sunday Hundred Grand sats. I spent $6.60 and won two seats to this week's tournament .

My bankroll is now a hair over $600, with maybe $150 of that coming from MTT and SNG play. I'm rolled for NL25 now, but I still haven't decided whether I'd rather move up or switch to a site with rakeback. Everyone says rakeback is very important at small stakes, but I can't really decide where to go. I also just read some stuff lately about FTP's rakeback being dealt rather than contributed, which makes it sound a lot better in comparison to Prima than I thought. Rednines is contributed rakeback, isn't it?

Maybe I'll just stay on Stars, since it's been working out for me so far and I'm a creature of habit. Is rake more painful on NL25 than NL10?

Edit: My HM stats, in case anyone cares:

So I played a bit during weekend and even though I ran pretty bad I still won some moniez.

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/5388/99647427be6.jpg

Geez.. I'm getting nittier and nittier..

Weekend was pretty boring. Didn't go out much, studied a bit, ate out with my dad a few times etc. He left Manchester btw and is now moving to Bath.

Yesterday I was planning on studying for my Spanish exam which is tommorow but I decided to just go for a pint with my flatmates to see some football match on tv. Obviously I didn't stop after 1 pint. Had like 6 or 7 more but half of them in Student's Union so ship teh £1 pints.

Now it's 10am here and I'm ultra tired but gotta start with teh Spanish. Gonna play a bit today as well. Oh yeah and watch new HSP, Prison Break and Heroes.

P.S. I wanna treat myself and buy something baller but I have no ideas. Since there are so many ballers on LP I'm looking for some awesome suggestions. I don't want to spend more than 1k ($) I guess.

So October started out with me running massively hot, and I played really well too, because thats what you do when you run hot, you can relax and play your game with confidence and with out making stupid "make up" spews.


http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/4384/octobergood200cu0.jpg

I stopped running hot at 200 nl and played terrible over 30k hands, not proud of this. But who cares I guess, best month ever:


http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/2006/octobertotalrf2.jpg


I also made 1k on cake poker, and then about $2400 worth in fpp bonuses from pstars so 14.6k + 1k + 2.4k = around 18k on the month.

Not bad for 85 hours of playing since i 10 table 1k hands an hour : ) .

This month is really getting me thinking of how I owe it to myself to take advantage of making this kind of money, I can make around $200 an hour of which I have concrete proof for over 4 months its my average. I feel like i should take a semester off of school or something and make like 100k boom boom shake the mo'fuckin room

Well after a while of losing myself and playing very donkishly, I've been finding my A game and playing much better.

Today I played around 1.5k hands to finish up 3.5 BI.

I'm playing on NL50 16-20 tabling, playing 12-15%.

I'm going to skip between tournies and NL50 FR throughout the weeks. Probably tournies 2 days a week, cash 4 a week, 1 day a week off.

Gonna go get blazed n relax,
Heres a good hand from today;

So I'm back from Prague, and I had a great weekend! It's nice to travel, and I haven't seen my dad since last christmas so it was alot fun seeing him and spending time with him again.
He was waiting at the airport for me, and a driver came and picked us up and drove us to the hotel. After dropping of our bags, we walked to the old town and stopped at a couple of bars (pubs) and had a few beers. The hotel (check my last blogpost to see the hotel since it's pretty cool. So the hotel had a booked a table at a restaurant down by the river. We arrived there pretty late, and had a really nice dinner, with some nice bottles of wines and good talk about life, work etc. The day after that we got up at 10-11 and went and checked the castle out, we took a walk down to town afterwards and had a nice lunch with another good bottle of wine (and some more czech beers). The driver took us back to airport, we sat in the lounge and had a cup of coffee before it was time to part ways, i left for stockholm and my dad left for munich.


So this part of the blogpost (if anyone actually reads since there are no pics) is going to be about me. So I was born in Stockholm 1985, my parents lived in Holland at the time in Den Haag so a week after I was born I got on a plane and moved to our house in Holland. I lived there for a year before moving to Munich, Germany with my parents and my sister. My parents got divorced when i was about 6. When I was about 9 I moved to Sweden (the south of sweden, malmö) for the first time with my mom and my sister. We lived in Sweden for 3 years. So when I was 12 I moved back to Munich to my dad and lived with him (my stepmother and my sister) for 4 years (oh and my little brother).

My sister graduated and moved to Brighton to study at Sussex, whilst I moved back to Sweden. I went to a school in Malmö for a year, after that year my parents asked me if I wanted to goto a boarding school, I said hell yeah since all of my buddies went to one. Although it wasnt the same one, but it was all good. So I did my last 2 years of highschool there. I graduated from Highschool 2004 and 10 days afterwards I did my military service in Sweden on an island called Gotland (ironic name huh?). So 10 months, and getting discharged as a Swedish sergeant I moved back home. I didnt really bother getting a job, but my friends dad who owned a pharmaceutical packaging company needed help, so I worked there for 3 weeks during the summer. I continued working there for like 2 more months with three other friends. So nov.05 a friend from my boarding school asked me if I wanted to move up to Stockholm and he said that he had a job waiting for us, so I said ship it and got into his car and drove up to Stockholm.

So I got us a 2 bedroom apartment on the upper east side of Stockholm and we started working with telemarketing. The hours were great and the pay sucked as hard as CrownRoyal. Since me and my roommate were out like 2-3 days per week partying something was bound to happen. So after a bag in box http://www.buyinportugal.com/store/images/terrasdexistoBB.jpg and a few beers later I was in an ambulance. What had happened was that I had got my ass kicked:

http://photos-c.ak.facebook.com/photo...7/502913359/n502913359_26138_9470.jpg

After a few stiches and a visit at the dentist I was good as new.

So I got a new job working as a Site Manager nov.2006, did that for 6 months and got a new jobboffer with the same company as a project manager for an e-commerce project and here we are

asgh;asdlkg;asjg

Police: Man Killed During Home Invasion in the Bronx NEW YORK (AP) -- A 44-year-old man died from a beating during a home invasion in the Bronx, police said. As many as eight men pushed their way into an apartment shortly after midnight Sunday, police said. An 18-year-old was tied up, and the 44-year-old was beaten.

Played probably 25-30 hours on fri/sat/sun @ canterbury

games were very nice

ended up making about 2k.

made a SICK call with K10
hand goes as follows;

Mitch [winning player, very good, but I feel like is very tricky as well]
opens with a raise in late position
I 3-bet in the CO with K10o
BB calls, Mitch calls

flop comes 799 rainbow
checked to me I bet out.
Call Call

turn bricks for a 5
again checked to me, I bet out.
BB folds, Mitch raises me.
I end up calling. His timing and everything just felt really weird for this.
river = Q

He fires out, I tank for a minute and go through his range at this time and what he has been playing like these past few orbits and decide to call.

He flips over J8o and says it's yours. I flip over my KT and send him on, if not now, on the verge of tilt.

End up catching a sick heater with 4 hands to go
KJ, AK, JJ, 33

KJ won
AK won
JJ lost on a 10 high board
33 lost with a set vs a runner runner no draw on the flop, picked up a gutshot on the turn and BOOM Broadway for the nutz on the river

Anyways, I dont know what I want to do atm... I kinda want to put money back online, but I need to watch myself with the # of tables, the new 24 max will be tempting xD

I just hope I can run good forever. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK

and for the WTF?

Work is beginning to really kill me... Hard to wake up to grind out 11/hr as a teller. I should win just 1 tourney, Sunday hundred grand, etc, something like that.

JUST 1

anyways good luck LP

<3

Hey all-

I have been recently informed from my bud PoorUser that Daut and Myth will be in our presence for the next couple of days. I feel this is a great opportunity for me to learn from them as well (PU you know you are always the Alpha Omega teacher ) and become a dozer like them.

Plans for their arrival are probably a bomb shelter full of beer and liquor and food from the finest restaurants in Fairfield, CT. I wish we had beds for these ballers but hopefully our foutons will be enough... (Sorry GUYS!) I have work tomorrow...yeah I work...bleh...Tax intern....accounting major....yadda yadda....sick life. I expect to still ball with my fellow LP idols and show them a good time.

As for poker, I sessioned a 4 table HU 50nl session. Up +$10 and CHANGE. Success! Maybe I may suggest a fun 20NL or 50NL live game tonight or tomorrow with the guest. We'll see. Or I could just walk a 3-handed 5/10 NO CAP game between Myth, Daut, and PU.

Anyhow, hope all is well to the LP crowd. Later.

I <3 Death Note.

im moving up to 100nl again this week with semi gay br of 4700 lol. with how tightly i play , i think thisll do for my 8 tabling game. ill just adhere to strict discipline with my game with a couple of bluffing spots here and there but nothing to fancy for sure. i want a decent winrate and rakeback for december coz im planning to get myself something nice. this time i think im not moving down anymore, ill just try to feel it out again first before loosening up my raising ranges c/o button. if i get hit with coolers and i hit 4200 i m moving down asap to 50nl no matter how gay this sounds. lol
