What the.....

Well I had an interesting day of play yesterday. Interesting as in very shitty.

Example, since ive managed to donk off most of my bankroll, ive dropped down to "playable" levels at least for me.

One of my favorable games are the $10+$1 sng's on stars, fuck the turbos - the 10 min ones are way more exploitable imo even if card dead. Choices are 18 seat, 27 seat, or the slower running 45 seat ones.

I love these, very weak opposition, you can mix it up too, catch some big monster flops and let the lagtards destroy themselves.

Anyways with a small bankroll like mine these are perfect, I decided to hit up the 27 seater.

Im doing ok, made a monster play with AA, checked the river when he checked, I just sensed strength from him, and of course he had caught runner-runner straight, lost the minimum.

Later ill try to remember this hand, im delt KK with the blinds at 75/150 and my stack a gruesome low at 1200, I just wasnt getting any love from the deck. UNTIL NOW!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEE I thought, this will be a double up.

Short stack moves in with Qs 10h for about 750 chips. Folds to me in late pos, I go all-in for my 1200.

Now, button moves all in too..... with JJ.

Im thinking, allll right, maybe if my hand holds im going to be facing a triple-up.

Flop: 8 J x Turn: x Riv: 9

So the Q10 guy ends up with the biggest fortune with his straight, wonderful. Sucks even more for the guy hitting his set and getting owned.


Dissapointing but hardly surprising. Given its 2 other players im a favorite but only marginal, I expected to win but not shocked when I didnt.

Soooo I manged to lose another 2 games and lost most of my small bankroll again. I dont really think Im going to keep playing until I can make a formidable deposit, perhaps on my birthday in june.

One thing I am trying though is the WSOP 200 seat giveaway, buyin is $350+$20. Prize pool is 2.5 million obviously from the 200 main event seats.

This will be loooooaded with donks and good players, if I play it properly I could wind up with a nice bankroll of $12,500. Ive told myself that if I can take this down and win a ME seat (the money) I will withdraw $6000 for personal use, and leave $6,500 on pokerstars so I can start playing what I love to play, cash games.

I greatly enjoy cash to tournament play, however I have found FR 1/2 on Stars to be tougher than say, cake poker's 1/2 FR cash.

If I had a bankroll of $6,500 to play with, I would most certainly play .50/1. It seems fishy, at least moreso than 1/2.... I can name off so many regs without even looking at PT.

65 buy-ins would be glorious, what a nice cushion! If I can beat that level after about 3-4 months of play ill perhaps move up to 1/2 but im getting ahead of myself.

First goal is to dominate that 200 ME seat tourney, I know its costly and a big tournament considering my dwindling bankroll, but I see no greater oppertunity than this. The main thing is I will not be playing with scared money, it will most likely be a birthday gift, so ill just play smart like I usually do? simple.
