Buffalo Poker Classic

Unlucky, just remember you are in a better spot than before this.

still a nice score, will you pay back your debts now? Oh, wait, it's Neilly, so for sure there is a reason not to do it, isn't it?

what tianyuan said. Nice score.

I paid this and next months rent. I have 2150.

Its like its fucking bad karma for saying I'd keep 2k or something WTF.

u gave ur dad some of the profits?

congrats

my dads going 50/50 with my $ on every mtt around for now on with that 2150 and im sure if something bad were to happen, he'd just stake me. I'll keep playing my best, tons of 109s and 215s and even 60s and 70s. Probably 10 MTT's a month here and Hero online, although you can't even do a Player Transfer there anyfuckingmore and can only cashout 2500 a month which is complete utter bullshit. - I'll aim for 3.6k a month there and cashout 2500 a month there.

I'll take my time and look to have maybe 10k with a good november.

I crashed my car last week. I should get my insurance payment this week.

Need to get a little car good on gas for cheap, maybe get an extra grand out of that.

probably get 1 debt paid off here.

so royal ya ur not fucking far off.

yay

pops is gonna split and buy 70% up to any 1k with me, finding tons of live mtt's, going to buffalo turbos every saturday $220 or w/e, 5-7k first, 85 ppl or so.

found a few other good mtt's, a good 300 deepstack, and 1k in pittsburgh.

Local live MTT casino has mtt's Sundays too, First Tuesday of the Month and First Wednesday of the month are here. Last Saturday of the month I think in Erie, not too sure what Les said..gotta check that out.

When I get my new ride I'll start going.

I'll continue to grind out pure cash games on hero since you can't cashout over 2500 a month, use my player points do run like 3r's and just watch a movie and own them for 600 etc here n there as well I assume.

MTT's live, maybe a few cheap easy mtt's on hero too, but no reason to risk shit when you can't cash out over 2500$. I think its a hard pill to swallow for tons of USA grinders that saw no reason to relocate or that are stateside.

ok well, im frustrated as fucking hell, I was a lil too deep to stack off in that situation I think, but I don't really see how I can play it differently, other than flatting to own his Tx/weak Ax hands post + prolly coulda just outplayed him post on alot of boards if I missed etc. Someone called in the cooler!

i learned a large lesson in this mtt. the payjumps were fucking huge.

12k, 17.5k, 28k, 45k.

Was a really good experience....the emotional rollercoaster was running at a high level, I was on swinging hard from 1.2 - 1.7k and sometimes to 900k, doing everything possible to get the win...

One tiny mistake that late is just unacceptable and not to be tolerated.

GG

Live....Learn....Hope the road is a smooth nice cruise.

Thousands of cashgame hands played lately, I'll play some 1/2 on days sometimes too most likely idk, bi @ 150 and stop loss 300, 10am - 7pm sounds about right, 8 hour sessions and lunch.

Panicy mind right now to say the least.

God im frustrated as shit.

I need to take a couple days off atleast most likely, find a hottie to give me a massage or something.

GL LP,

He payed for my buy-in and is a chairman, had me comped a suite etc.

i ran it by him, said 15% itm, 25% ft, 33% top 3, 40% 2nd, 50% 1st.

Was a lifechanging moment.

Really sucked.

Learned a ton, made some really good plays and reads..

Made some great friends and got reads on how these guys play around here, my first time on the live scene here in 2 years.

Hoping for the best, going to look to make my BR work for my benefit by selling 50-80% of my action to my father to keep the monies in the family and hopefully in my pocket.

Okie closing computer, ego loves to bitch.

'my dads going 50/50 with my $ on every mtt around for now on with that 2150 and im sure if something bad were to happen, he'd just stake me.'

I got a question. And I don't want this to come off as just a flame or something. Curiosity maybe. If you crashed and burned...eventually getting staked by your father and burning through his $$ on a bad tournament run (MTTs. Shit happens...even if you don't tilt), would you feel genuinely bad in a different way since you lost your father's money? Or simply be able to shrug it off with that whole 'oh well lesson learned, look to the future' vibe you got going on as bad tournament variance and explain it to him like you would to a normal backer, someone at least mildly competent in the poker world. On the same token, if you're in the midst of a bad run on your father's money, would you be able to play w/o that assumed extra mental stress effecting your play?

I am not entirely sure how after your millions of MTTs you didn't realize how big the pay jumps are at a FT and since those pay jumps are super important to your present needs, why you didn't realize that flipping when deep is a bad idea when they are going to spew in so many other ways.

Again, I have no idea how you didn't realize this, but anyways now at least you do?

is your dad rich or is he just down with the poker? my parents would probably disown me if they ever knew i played poker lol.

Is 12k your largest single tourney win so far? And I mean yeah, you got like 2k to your name now, thats all yours to keep. A bankroll to grind NL100 with. You need to spread your roll across several merge skins to avoid the $2500 limit, unless thats against the rules or something. At least try to play on as many sites as allowed for USA players so you can be cashing out $2500 from multiple sources at once. Have you given Bovada a chance yet? You seem to do well in the short hit n run type games, where nobody has any reads on you and have trouble adjusting to your loose style. Bovada doesnt allow HUD's so this could be to your advantage. I dont mean literally hit n run, but 1 hour sessions as an anonymous player are probably your strong points. If you think about it, your avg tourney nets you something like 150-200 hands right? Thats about 1 hour at a cash game table online, before you start to crumble.

12k is my 4th largest score I believe, maybe 3rd or 5th.

I'm going to continue grinding hero out 2500 a month and that will sustain my living expenses.

I have a couple grand that will actually act as 4-7k going 50/50 to 20/80 depending on bi's etc.

I'm just going to go around playing tons of tournaments and playing online cash on days theres nothing going on.

Idk its to early to tell, these are my genuine thoughts in order, i don't preview ore edit, i just type what i feel etc, i wish i flatted and just owned him post. i don't know why i 3bet that AT, i was 3betting a large range vs him and owning him all day, game was so stagnant for about 2 hours with very little happening, seemed right.......sucks when your wrong =[

its like 92% correct online and sucks when the 8% happens.

In the live arena, you can focus more on the singular hand and cut that 8% down.

w/e the real %'s are who cares, just sayin.

oh well fucking sucks.

i really wanted that win so bad, woulda really changed my life.

rent paid...lil bit of a bankroll, and my dad gambles a ton, he loves it, he knows i've been grinding over 9 years and have traveled the world, he doesn't mind going 50/50 or buying higher %'s. hes been gambling for over 30 years. I am from a family of gamblers on my mothers and fathers side.
