Downswing

I have been on a downswing since my last update. I had a deep run in the FTOPS 6 max event last Friday busting out 22nd for around $2300, but was 96k to win! I've had some deep runs in some other tournaments also but not able to close them out. I feel really good about my game and I think it will turn around soon. I plan to play tonight but will be taking off Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Going to hopefully put in a big schedule on Sunday and hope to make a big score there. Don't really have anything else to talk about, so hopefully will have better news at the next update.

Grind Update

I have been on a heater since my last update. I'm up around 15k in my last 3 sessions. I won the Full Tilt 40k for $11k, got 3rd in the 22 rebuy on Stars for $4500, got 4th in the Full Tilt 22 rebuy yesterday for $5900, and I won the the Big Double A on Full Tilt last night for $2900. Hopefully it will continue into this week. I only plan on playing around 6-10 tournaments tonight. I want to keep it slow since I'm playing the $1060 FTOPS event and want to put my full concentration into that one. I plan on putting in a bigger session tomorrow and Wednesday. I also might play on Thursday night after golf league but will be most likely taking Friday and Saturday off and back at it again next Sunday.

Online Update

I have been putting in tons of volume over the past two weeks. I've managed to make a small profit over this period. Notable scores were taking 4th in the Full Tilt 163 for $8300 where I lost KK vs AQ all in preflop to be tied for chiplead. That tourney was $23k to win. I also took 4th in the 50 rebuy turbo on Full Tilt for $3400 or so. I've had some final table bubbles as well, taking 16th in the Full Tilt 163 this past Sunday which was $57k to win! sigh! Have had a few 10th's and 11th's also. I plan to put in a ton of volume over the next few weeks also.

The Southern Indiana WSOP Circuit was released and I plan to be playing every single event. It is October 2nd-12th and hopefully can win another ring.

Here is the schedule....
Oct 2nd- $350 NL
Oct 3rd- $550 NL
Oct 4th- $350 NL 6 Max
Oct 5th- $350 NL Shootout 12pm
Oct 5th- $350 Horse 3pm
Oct 6th- $350 1/2 PLH 1/2 PLO
Oct 7th- $350 NL
Oct 8th- $350 NL
Oct 9th- $550 NL
Oct 10th- $1600 NL Main Event

These are all listed as 2 day events, so not sure why they are having a $550 the day before the Main Event but it looks like I could be multi tabling if I'd happen to make day 2 of the $550 on the 9th. That about sums it up, hopefully I'll start updating this blog on more of a regular basis. Also, would be nice if it was with good results every time too! Lol

Home from Vegas

The trip was the worst of my poker career. I ended up cashing one tournament out of the eight that I played. It was a $1500 WSOP where I came into day 2 with a stack of 64.1k which was well above average. Early on in day 2 I ended up getting KK in vs AQo for around 80k and couldn't hold when he binked an A on the turn. That cash was good for $3063. Usually whenever I struggle live, I crush online. That wasn't the case this summer as I lost in all five of the online sessions I put in. Oh well, there is always next year!

The plan now is to take off until Monday. I plan to play a few days next week which will obviously have to be Monday through Wednesday. I play in golf league on Thursday, my brothers rehearsal dinner on Friday, his wedding on Saturday, and probably relaxing on Sunday. That about sums it up, hopefully with my next update it will be good news!

Update from Vegas

This trip hasn't been to kind to me as I'm 0-5 and haven't made a dinner break yet. The last few tournaments have been pretty sick in the spots I've been in but couldn't hold, got coolered, and whiffed a huge draw. Oh well, I got four tournaments left and I'm staying positive that something good will come out of one of the events. I got the next few days off and I'm looking forward to going out and having a good time with Angie who coming into town in the morning. My next event will be Wednesday which is a $1500 WSOP.

Congrats to Matt "Mattster24" Sterling who took 9th last night in the $2500 PLH/PLO WSOP for $20k. He lost a flip to bust and would of been decent shape if he could of prevailed in the hand. He was seated next to Ivey for quite sometime so that was pretty neat.

Take care

Ready for Vegas

I just got all packed up and ready to head out west tomorrow afternoon. I think my plane lands around 3pm Vegas time. I'll probably check in and register for the $1500 WSOP for Wednesday and head back to the room to start the online grind. I'm going to be giving updates at every break via twitter and here is the link to it http://twitter.com/K_Rock2525

You might have to copy and paste the link since I'm not sure how to make it linkable. I'll try to update my blog every night but I doubt that will happen so will try to do whenever possible. Time to run good!

Online Update and Summer Schedule

I haven't played that much online here lately and whenever I have it has produced bad results. I have played some MTT's here in the last week and have gotten deep in a few but couldn't win the key hands. I finally got my schedule figured out for the summer out in Vegas for the WSOP/Venetian Deep Stack Series. I'll be out there from June 15th through the 29th.

Here is a look at my schedule...

June 16th- $1500 NLH WSOP
June 17th- $2100 Venetian
June 18th- $550 Venetian
June 19th- $1000 NLH WSOP
June 20th- $340 Venetian
June 23rd- $1500 NLH WSOP
June 24th- $530 Venetian
June 25th- $1500 NLH WSOP
June 26th- $1000 NLH WSOP

Hopefully can come back with a big score in one of these. I'm hoping to put in some decent volume before I leave for Vegas but plan to play a lot of golf and have a few weddings to attend to. Take it easy
