MTT Madness

After listing a load of mtts (around $200 give or take each) sat night but not entering ne of them i tried the same technique 2nite and entered 6 of them at almost same time.

Bust 2 fairly early but went deep in other 4.

1st bubble come along in the one i had been 8-12bb whole time in and i bubbled 33rd pays 30. I didnt mind this too much as i won a $5500 pot on hi lo omaha at exactly the same time :)

Still in other 2 as per below update as i go or bust:

10/13 50euro rebuy 216 entrants
13/30 $50 rebuy 434 entrants

//////
arrrgh sick 450euros for finishing 10th in 1st one AA vs KK king on river for 113k pot at 4k bb level although would only have been 7/10 stack.
4/24 in other and trying not to tilt :(( arrrgh AK vs shortie 33 KQ10 flop turn 3 yuk. 12/22
.............

yuk jj vs QQ pot to go 4th , lost it and crippled 19/19
................

and out a6 vs QQ flop Q62 turn ace just to take piss bit more gg. $570


£3,200 up on day so nout to complain about, would been nice to have took 1 of those last 2 down for 7,500 euros or $14,200 but not to be.

Update Time

Since last post i climbed a bit more steadily in profit to around £4,500 over several days but i didnt play some of them. This week i seem to have got back into it a bit although i had a mare on Monday when i dropped £6,000 as quick as possible. I was on a 200/400$ hi lo limit game which the play was awful on but obv i know can hav high variance :(

Think it made me more determined to put the effort in though and got £3,000 each back Tues and Wed. Yesterday and today smaller profits and currently stand at +£6,600 for Nov. Out on the booze shortly and hope not to play drunk later on.

As Expected

In ftops hi lo mtt and pretty bored so thought i would post a quick update here. Hardly played at all this month. One day i played 1-2hrs and the rest of the month probably equated to the same in total. Still running as bad as i did at the end of last month and really havent felt like putting any volume in as a result. Game selection has been pretty dire too with the tables no where near as dead money as the first half of Oct. Only a small loss so far anyway cos ive played a bit lower and so little volume. Decided to stay at home Nov, havent ruled out a mid Dec vegas trip but hav to see how im running b4 that.

Oct Review

Incredibly poor last 7-10days resulting in a final profit for the month of £13,046. Now i can moan about that as i peaked at £38,500 but i would take it before the month started or 3 days in when i was £9,000 down. Im more concerned with how steep the variance and downswings were this month. Didnt particularly like playing the last week either as i know i played too much this month chasing a schrapnel bonus (could been bigger if lucky) after getting committed. Another couple of promising starts in live games resulted in no cashes again too.

Have taken the extreme measure of withdrawing nearly all my money from all sites for now. I dont want to be tempted to play when im not in the mood and im interested to see if i treat the games any different when im depositing in to play them. Gonna check my money situation shortly and see whether i can go for a week abroad mid Nov possibly Vegas. Not getting much out of blog at mo so dont be surprised if i dont update much this month too.

HU Over

Unsure what to write basically played crap for 30-60mins then played out of my skin and dominated for the next hour or so. Supposed to be on challenge at some point but i wasnt on a hole cam table so guess will only see allins and a few clips here and there, oh and mayb a cringy interview.

1st hand i lose 4000 2 pair vs nut straight
2nd hand i double up rivering a straight, he mucked after callin river but at least 2 pair
3rd hand i 4 bet 44 allin and he has AA and holds

so its 16k vs 24k after 3 hands with my 20% shot to win over.
like said above played crap for bit, low was about 6500 i think.
suck out K7 vs AK 7 on river er that took me back to 14 or 15k i think.
peaked at about 23k after playing small ball poker from there on as much as poss

then huge hand playing 22k i call a raise out of position with 34off then check raise his continuation bet to 5000 on a Kc8c4x board. he moves allin 300/600 level and not too much of it left its 11k to call and my instinct is he has flush draw at best but i really thought he had AJ AQ or even worse to be honest. After about 2 minutes i went with my instinct (sommat i regret not doing in my first match enough) and made the call. He showed 75cc for gutshot flush draw and overs so i guess i maybe was 50% but irrelevent anyway as flush immediately hit the turn.

left with 4200 i double through Q4std vs K10 before the strangest of exit hands.

he limps button and i chk 93off
flop QQ3 and i check raise his about 700 bet to about 1600
turn is Kd making 2 diamonds on board and ive got bout 6500 left
read on flop was he had nothing, maybe king or ace high so i bet 2400ish so i had option of getting away but lookin committed at same time (obv would go with instinct or read if he shoves)
he flat calls and i still believe im ahead at this point , river was a low diamond and i shove my 4000ish allin
he says call and i thought he said jack high but no he says jack high flush and shows J7dd WTF
says he thought i was at it on flop but WTF if thats the case shove the turn and have some fold equityor reraise the flop, hate his play on this hand but whatever. I wanted him in i guess and i played so well the last hour i wasnt angry just disappointed.

Would have been mad with myself if i bust the K7 vs AK i truly played shocking up to that point and it definitely was a match of 2 halves. Took more from this match than the 1st one and hopefully will make my experience count to grab a live title one day in the future.


Online ive stayed level since that huge loss other night but (if im not pushing my luck as still playing) im up a couple of £k tonight so far. Looking forward to the 1st week in Nov where i hope to ease right off and chill out ,unless im in a complete addict mode and the games are good of course ;)
