4th @ foxwoods $300 megastack

I woke up at a little after 8am last tuesday to a phonecall from my uncle. He tells me to go to foxwoods and play the megastack. I'm still in my pajamapants at the time and I tel him I have no desire to rush and make the 11am start time. He reminds me that I should go because I'm running good (cashed in some ftops/scoop events). I shrugged, bought my seat online and head down to the pokerroom. 38 hours later I finish in 4th place for $25k.

I then played the $560 the next day but got eliminated right before the dinner break. Since then I haven't been able to really play online at all because I also had to take care of the new dog all weekend. Tomorrow I should be back in the swing of things. I'm pretty sure i'm going to move up to the $16's permanately and I alo think ill be adding in some of the bigger online buy-in tournaments to my play schedule since i've been laying very well in them.

For tonight though, i'm just gonna watch my dog shit all over my house. O what joy is life

SERIOUS BUSINESS

Gonna try to play 100+ games today. I hope I don't choke

DAMN YOU DIRTY 4 FLUSH

Just got knocked out of SCOOP event 1-L. 200 people left(out of 27k) and I get AQs. I 2.5x it up, and the BB who has 3 times my stack 3 bets me. I 4-bet shove all in and he snap calls with AQ offsuit. Four clubs later and I'm on the rail.

I invested 22 and cashed out with $250ish after 9 hours so I'm not terribley mad. There were a couple spots where I played atrociously and got lucky so it all evened out in the end.

I did good ion the $6.50s as weell but didnt get the volume I wanted, too busy with the SCOOP tournament. I'll make them up this week

the interweb can die in a grease fire

I just typed out a fairly long post only to have it dissappear because i knocked the ethernet cord out of my laptop. GOOD JOB ME!

This past week I received some coaching from onlone player Glitlr(glitlr.blogspot.com), where I was educated on some fairly weak spots in my game. The first thing that I noticed was that i'm not as awesome as i think I am. 24 tables is not helping my roi, I clearly can not pay adequate attention while doing this. I have since dropped back down to 10 tables and have been doing well.

Another thing that was pointed out to me was that there are tons of spots i'm missing pushes from. When it is shorthanded and midgame there are lots of spots from middle position/button that I should be pushing from that I am completly blind to. Already I feel the coaching haspaid off and I look forward to the next month to see how I do. Ive set a goal to play 500 games a week in May. I do this not because of sheer volume but I need some sort of larger sample size to see where I am at. I think the goal that I set for yself is completely reasonable and I look forward to accoplish it.

For giggles, i registered for a $3 PLO rebuy tourney on full tilt. I rebought once and added on for a $9 investment. I ended up chopping it 3 ways at $240 a piece and knocked out a red name pro so I get the promotional tshirt. Not too shabby.

Time to go donk off some money in tournaments on full tilt,

til next time

-100.+30,-12,+15,-70,+40

Those are my last 5 sets of 24 tabling 6.50's on Pstars. Still getting used to so many tables but thank god for TableNinja. I think I'm pushing a bit loose in some spots but I feel like I am playing good so I'm going to keep at it. I used to play 8 or 10 in a set tiled across my two monitors, but I would find myself going tilty when I would get my money in +EV but get sucked out on. When I play 24, I stack them so i make the correct(hopefully) decision and dont get steamed at the results.

I finished the 500 sit and go challenge. Ended up +$1. Considering I was down close to $250 at one point I'm pretty happy. Not gonna win but at least I made a nice comeback. Hope I do it again next month.

The dog is coming in a couple weeks, not hawaiian bounty hunter but a brown labradoodle. I'm gonna need to clean the house. Not Fun.

To the 3 people reading this:

go to youtube;
search for drunk history;
watch them all.

They are writer/comedians who get drunk and retell moments in history. It is amazing.

Almost done with the 500 SNG challenge. Probably going ot end up in the green but not a winner. I'm just happy to digmyself out of the hole I put myself in early on.

I've been watching the masters all weekend, mickelson is one behind the lead going into the final day. Can't wait to see his epic choke this time around. If you don't believe me search for "mickelson, choke artist" and that will show you the proof.

thanks pstars for shutting down SNGs early this morning, you made me make $2800

I just took down a $24+2 tournament on full tilt for $2800 and change. Looks like sallie mae is gonna be a happy gal this month. I really liked my play in the tournament. Very laggy early on to build a stack and once I built it I never looked back. Only sucked out once in the tournament, got it in pre-flop with queens against someones kings and hit the Q on the flop. One hand that I particularly enjoyed was the last hand before the final table.

I was the button with 10-7o and it folded to me. I decided to min raise from the button to steal the blinds, but they both called. Then the flop came 6-8-9 and I giggled like a little girl. Especially when the small blind bet the pot and the big blind shoved over.

I got to heads up play with a massive chip lead. I had 1.2 mil and they has under 150k. I pushed any two cards and it took until he was down to 110k for him to call. I missed but kept pushing him in, however, he caught pocket tens the next hand and my chiplead was now 4.5-1. Since he was obnoxiously tight, I just min raised every blind and whenever he limped I 3x'd it. I widdled him down back to under 200k and won it all with k8 vs a3.

I'm eating less shit than before in the 500 SNG challenge but even if it's less shit, it is still shit. I was playing SNGs on FTP and I was smashing them. I guess the grass is greener on the other side. I got a hundred and something SNGs to complete to finish the challenge, I'm hoping ot break even. Time will tell.

my fourth first post

This might be the fourth-time i posted a first post in a blog I created. Chances are I will never post in this again because I only made an account to follow some other people, but you never know. I think this blog will at least reach 3 posts before I quit, any more than that I can't guarantee.

I've been playing online poker on pokerstars (username bopolis) for the past few months. I've done so so at the $16 turbos and ive eaten shit in cash games and lots of others. My sharkscope looks like shit but what else is new. I've studied the SNG videos on pokerVT and they have helped me understand alot (thanks derk and spacegravy), but what really made everything click was Glitlr's (glitlr.blogspot.com) videos on grinderschool.com. It's alot of the same info that the pokervt videos go over but the way he explained it made everything click. Highly reccomend it if anyone is interested in SNG grinding(like anyone is reading this to begin with).

I'm currently in a contest with some peoplke from pokerVT on who can do the best in 500 SNGs. I ate shit early on and went -$200 with 250 games played. Now I'm a little over 300 played and only -$94.

I'm out, take my money on pokerstars . Username is bopolis. I'm playing $6.50 turbos.

p.s.- Hey Guy who "got pissed I called him with A3 and hit and won the hand," yes I know I fucked up and misread the situation. Mistakes happen sometimes. However what you don't know is that I can read souls. I know when you think your hand won't hold up. When you cry about being a 3-1 favorite I drink your tears. Your tears(and children) nourish my soul reading ability and only make it stronger.
