Well...its been a pretty rough week as far as SnG's go. I'm running pretty bad, and may have forseeably been leaking a little. I've done some analyzing mah game and decided I needed to tighten somethings up. One thing im doing is playing some 180 and 90 mans in there need to start tightening up...im playing way too loose...I say this as someone hits their gutshot on me for a big stack...hooray for baddies getting it in on the turn with gutshots...I don't feel like im playing bad though...Seems im losing ALOT of 60/40s I'm ahead in in really important spots. All in all i know there is money to be had, and i just need to stick with it....that being said I need to play at good times so i can hit some good tourneys up...I play well in them...they are full of fish...and i can bot them like SnGs Here is my graph for 45 mans:

For while all poker sites has been banned in estonia. Dunno how goverment though that stupid law here. But like 5 days ago pokerstars got licence in estonia but with few restrictions for players. First they have to use pokerstars.ee client, they have to vertify themselves with id card or passport id, no buddy transfers or tournament dollars transfers.

So i though yeah finally i can play with client what i like. Since they offering max 100$ deposite bonus. I transfered nearly 100$ to ps account. So then money arrived on account there was pokerstars.ee promotion tournaments going on 1k freeroll and 5$ +1k added. Last one was realy nice overlay since 153 players only bought in for total pricepool 1600 something. Both tournaments had same structure 1k chips in start 10/20 blinds in start. So i registred to both tournaments and Boom banked 1st place on 1k+ added after 4,5hours of play for 404$. This gave me really nice roll to play stakes where i used to grind alot. At first i had planned to play really solid bankroll managemnt and grind 5$ to 200 at least.

So i have played for now some 3k on 10nl and 2k hands on 25nl and i must admit its much toughter then it used to be. 10nl has much more fish while 25nl is though. Ppl 3betting light alot and often find in hard postion with 88 etc hands.
So far i have noticed 3 betting light myself is what makes money. Then i see like some aggro player raise 1$ and call after it, if hold decent holding what i would call with then i pop it up and so far it works good. Tho i have noticed i have big leaks holes since i havent played for long. So often i find myself in though spots.

Yesterday one hand kinda bugged me. Cand find that hand in HH. So i have 1$ raise on button and i hold AK on small blind and i pop it to 3,5$ on 250bb tables. Both had like 180bb stack. I get call and flop comes A23 one flushdraw. I bet like 4.5$ i get call. Turn 4.
Pot is 15$ both have like 35$ behind. I check and guy shoves 35$. I timebank and fold and guy shows AJ. Wut ever.

2nd hand where i found myself in really hard spot was also on 250 bb tables. We both had little over 200bb. Guy opens 3bb CO. I pop QQ sb to 12 bb 3$. Guy calls. Flop 877 with club flushdraw. i bet faily small 3.5$ looking if hes gonna raise me. He just calls. Turn T. Pot 13.25 i bet 7$. Guy just calls. River T .. so board is 77TT8 on flush on board. Pot 27$ i check. Guy bets 21.5$ and i tank forever. I beat really few hands but it didnt make sense to me why draw flush on paired board and why bet flush on fullhouse board so big. So finally called and he shows 56H straight draw. Hand link

So i have played like cash 2 days now and really not made real progress. Hope heater soon. At first i wanted to have 40 buyin bankroll managemnt, but atm lowered it to then i have above 500$ i play 25nl... if i go below i go back to 10$.

Gl to everyone

Today I registered for the BSOP (Brazilian Series of Poker) which is gonna happen next week. Will play the R$ 1.2k main event (= 710 usd), if I bust prob enter the R$ 3.4k (= 2k usd) and some juicy 25/25 live cash (= 15/15 usd), maybe the PLO event too. Should be fun.

Last 2 days:

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/3811/day35.png

From game 30 to 110 there, I ran as bad as one can possibly run. The last few games doesnt make up for it, that was just the fish who raped me from game 100 to 110 giving it back. If I had won any of these hands I wouldve pretty much doubled my winrate for these 123 sngs, fucking sngs man, anything below 10k is a small sample.

Real pleased obviously, sick to go from that valley and shoryuken back up. Finally puts me in the green this month. Had a couple of disappointingly close but no cigar runs in tournaments (Lamborghini grand final, WCOOP, 750k Guarantee) so it's nice to heater for sure.

http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q23/exaltedsky/shoryuken.jpg

Have been playing a lot of Super Street Fighter 4 on the Xbox. Have had 0 desire to play Starcraft 2 so SSF4 has become my latest gaming vice. I thought I would pick it up quickly having a fast WPM / piano fingers but solid execution is really difficult and there is a real steep learning curve. Doesn't help that I am in Asia and have to play tough Asian grinders (as opposed to American 10 y/o scrubs) otherwise it will lag. Of course it's great to play good players but it's majorly tilting to lose 10-11 matches in a row.

Also was happy with this purchase on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/T-CHINESE-Loyal-R...H_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5f558a00

Altogether, I have been putting a lot more volume (thanks to black card marketing) and really look forward to what will happen before year's end!

I've seriously started believing that you simply can't keep up a decent ROI at shorthanded super turbo sit and go's. The outcome is just too random, meaning that you can't have enough edge in the long run to beat both the rake and the players.

http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/6387/505stshunbeatable.jpg

http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/6387/505stshunbeatable.jpg

All people I play against are worse than me. That's for sure. They have so many leaks in their games. Regulars are OK but nothing compared to players at Stars or Full Tilt. I haven't seen any regs who have a higher ROI than at max 1-2%.

So, I need to change site, or something. Because there's not enough single table tournament action in any other games than these super turbo shorthanded ones.

I'm stuck at Entraction for the rest of the month, though. I have this bonus I need to finish and I'm also kind of committed to the leaderboard. If I just get in a lot of volume I should be able to get 5th spot for €400. That's €600 guaranteed with my €200 bonus if I just keep playing (plus the rake-back I'll get). And I can even do it at the €1.1 level if I want to. Making that easy money when I basically have no bankroll I believe can't be matched by what other sites can offer me.


Blah, this is just a rant post. I'm taking tomorrow off and coming back for some serious grind on Friday when I get this week's rakeback.

Hey guys, im a long time lurker who started posting in the low stakes poker section recently.
I started off with 10 dollars and have been playing 25nl after i hit 20bi's. I'm doing a move up at 20 bi move down at 15bi rule for all stakes.

anyways, i've started playing 25nl when i hit 500 and now im at 870 including rakeback. started off well then had a really bad run, and now im going back up and playing well imo. I've been trying to fix my redline by 3betting more in position and just betting more in general and it's been working.

SO I think i'm going to start blogging more for fun =]

this post is about my 3 hour session, the longest I've had in a long time. Started off with me value betting flop and turn only to have the river complete all draws a few times, then that made me start going all in with marginal hands. I buckled down and started winning it back after that.

http://i53.tinypic.com/x26urk.jpg

ended well =]
i would post hands but im lazy and ill do that next time

Finally got my roll to $500 so I took a NL25 shot. Went pretty well at the beginning, went up a few buyins but then I ran horrible. Told myself if I went to -2BI id drop back down to NL10 and grind it back up, cause I got rakeback coming on fri anyway and I can probably take another shot then. Gotta practice good bankroll management -.- My lines were pretty bad now that I look back but ugh these hands fucked me. try again tommorow

Spent this summer in LV, played in 2 WSOPS, 1st one $1,000 FR i show up 2 hrs late and bust 88 vs AA like first 20 minutes was retarded

Second one $1500 6max, I get a sick stack top 100 all the tourney. got moved to a new table. shark to my right has me covered rest are average to below average mtters.

I get 77 like 7 hands in.

300/600 i make it 1500. bb flats (FTP hoodie and gear, he was solid player)

7TJhh flop, he checks, i make it 3k, he minrr to 6k. obv hes 3betting TT/JJ oop, only hand im scared of is 98ss.

ALL-IN - Turn 4 - River 9 - he has Q8hh for a rivered straight

cool, was a pot for top 10 with 400 to go

Partied my ass off with Jlost88 (LostAccount) and PlayMoneyyyy, both LPers, Jlost is a sick hero, and one fun motherfucker.

John and I draged Playmoneyyy to some crazy clubs and had a sick goin away night when johnny boy was headin back to Canuckland, was an epic night to say the least...

Met Raszi and Frink down there, watched a Joe Cada celebration, he was a gracious winner, retarded hes quitting, i told him other day at table to just grind 25/50 live. hes obv still v solid @ online mtts from my limited experiences w/ him at the table. Met more ppl, forget, smoke to much, love dispenseries. =)

was staked for a while, hit mulligan, got off stake

won some dough, paid some debts, went nuts in vegas clubs.

hung with a lot of great ppl and roomied with Sharp.Info who was a standup guy and a very promising solid mtter.

Got Rhinowned a lot

Had good times

Car got impounded

Offered Car to anyone in house who wanted to pay to get it out and give me $200.

Sharp snapcalls

Cars only worth around 1500, was 500 to get out of impound, 500 gas, food, motels etc, woulda been atleast 1500 to get home.

cut the loss flew home *updated for byrnesam*

Had a nice lil 2 day streak won 5k

cashed it out and flew home

rooming with a great friend, chillin w/ everyone in my hometown n some insane hotties, haven't been here in 8 years, its pretty fuckin sweet.

epic house that would cost me a ton in LV, surrounded by good people.

Setting up my workstation tomorrow.

Had cashed pretty much everything out.

Bought a $1350 bed, paid rent, partying (oct 3 was bday), had fun

have like 285 left on my stars account

gonna run that up starting with $4 180 man SNG's and a few other small stakes games and progressively moving up. When I hit 600, I'll most likely grind NL25 for the hourly there (up 600 should be up 700 over 11k hands in the late summer whenever i played cash, thats where I mostly played) I'll be playing many mtts too, and $4 180s and $3r 180s and 11 non turbo 180s as well and grinding 55s and under

im going to grind $55 mtts and under for a good while. a lot of money to be made on the lower limit mtts and sng's. actually close to tlb like top 30-40, but haven't been grinding in about a month, have just played a lil here n a lil there cuz leavin vegas / moving / bday / life

Back to grind tomorrow, setting up desk, goin and getting chair, its on, donkey kong.

Plan to have 6k by 11/1/2010 on pokerstars

Don't wanna redeposit, been spending too much, but would if need be over a stake obviously

Cya at the tables,
GL LP,
Ryan
