Even though the day has ended bittersweet, I think I can say it's been a good one. I've discovered my new love... FTP deep 6max tables! I swear I love those things, it really allows me to open up my game and make certain plays/reads I'm just unable to make at the 100bb PS tables. I think I'm going to spend a lot of time playing those deep tables from here on out.
It's bittersweet because I was up 1200 after about 2k hands, then went to play one final session and went all the way down to -5.40 : [
Sick life
I ended up getting overset, then running kings into aces twice, and some dude 5b bluff shoved 56s into my AK and made trip 5's. Then obv I tilted at least 1-1.5 buy ins after all that happened one right after another.
Either way, playing these deep tables is the closest I've been to returning to my old form back when I was crushing a little over a year ago. My reads were super sharp and my ability to induce bluffs and light call downs/stack offs was impressive IMO.
Anyways, my month has been going very well so far, but I still have a lot of work to do. I think I posted that my goal was to make 50 buy ins at 1/2 and 40 at 2/4 or something like that. Let's see how close I am ....
Looks like I've made 58 buy ins at 1/2, that's definitely eclipsed that goal, though I haven't seemed to be fairing very well in the 2/4 games unfortunately. It seems to me that since I need to make another 15k by the end of the month that I should just stick w/ these 1/2 games, probably just the deep tables, and try to earn the extra 2/4 buy ins I need that way. This would mean I'd need to make an additional 75 buy ins at 1/2. I think it would take a minor miracle to put up those kinds of numbers since I'm just about half way through April, it's been pretty epic already and I'm just not sure I can do much better than I'm doing now. I think if I could make another 50 buy ins at 1/2 through the rest of April I could call that a success. It's very important I reach this goal of ~15k as quickly as possible though as I will be starting a new program come May 1st and would like to have all of my debts paid off before it starts.
I'm pretty excited about this new program, basically the way it works is I will be getting staked, plus be given unlimited coaching by two very successful 10/20 players in return for somewhere between 50-60% of my earnings over the course of the stake. The money isn't really important to me at all, but what is important is the possibility of being able to learn from great players, and being able to play higher stakes against better competition without risk of ruin. Obviously the better the players are that I play against, the quicker I will become better myself, I always dreamed of being one of the toughest to play in any game at any stakes, so I expect to definitely get closer to this goal by way of this program.
Anyways, that's it I guess, GL.

nice to see you kicking ass once again, props for getting things straightened out. keep it going.
i always compare ftp tables to stars tables with the ptr table finder...ftp seems to be wayyyy way softer at both 100nl and 200nl, so i'm considering the switch (or maybe splitting my roll between the two). thoughts? |
