Quick Update

I have played a couple of sessions since my last update but nothing good has come out of either. I have been spending time with Angie and some friends for the most part and trying to enjoy life. I probably won't play again until the beginning of next week at the earliest, since Thanksgiving is next week I doubt I play awhole lot. The Mid-American Poker Classic is right around the corner and I am looking forward to get on live front again. That about sums it up, talk to you later.

Oh yeah quick note, Congrats to Mattster24 for winning the 320 Stars last Wednesaday night, he chopped it heads up for 47k but went on to win after chopping. Much deserved as he has been playing really good as of late.

Some Online play from this week.

I put in some hours Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. On Saturday morning me and mattster24 decided to grind at 5 in the morning until college football kicked off. I final tabled the 5.50 rebuy on stars and finished 3rd for $1178.00. On Sunday night, I won the 50 single rebuy single addon on Pokerstars at 12:15am for around $2800 which I didn't play much on Sunday at all. On Monday night, I had a couple of deep runs, getting 11th in the 11rebuy on stars for around $700 and went deep in the 33 at 11pm and also got 6th in the 50 single rebuy single addon on Pokerstars. On Wednesday night I only played 2 tournaments the 320 on Stars and FTOPS Event #1 on Tilt. I bricked the 320 in the 2nd hour but made a deep run in FTOPS. I ended up building up a huge stack early on and was sitting really good at 92k at 800-1600 in the money. I than proceeded to run AQ into AK for 100k stack. That dropped me pretty low, but built back up to 75k without a showdown. I than ran AK into AA to a 40k stack at 1700-3400 to knock me back down to 35k. I ended up flatting a minraise with T9o from the BB and the flop rolling out T42 with 2 spades and got all in vs AQss and got it to hold somehow. That got me back up to around 75k or so. I than got another double with AQ vs 99 all in preflop to get me up to around 135k. At the 3k-6k level, I ended up running QQ into KK for around a 260k stack or so which would of been top 25, instead I was out at 144th. Paid around 500 profit or so, but I won a 20 person last longer at a $100 a person on pocketfives to profit $1900 from that. The next time I play with probably be Sunday night. Things are going really good for me right now in poker.

On the live front, The Mid-American Poker Classic is rolling around to the Horseshoe in New Albany, it will be here I think December 3rd-12th. I plan on playing every NLHE event down there. Also, I would like to break my non-cash streak in live, if I do that I like my chances. Seeing how I've cashed 3 live events this year and all 3 have led to final tables. Well that is about it, I'll talk at ya later.

Some online poker

I didn't expect to play til Sunday at the earliest as I stated in my last blog. I played a few times in between and had a couple of 5k scores. I took 2nd in the Stars 109 turbo last Wednesday night for $5500. I also took 3rd in the 7pm 109 Stars Saturday night for around $5200. I played 6 tournies on Sunday and only cashed one, which was the Tilt 750k and it wasn't for much losing a flip. I sattied into 3 of the other majors so wasn't in for much. I played tonight and built up some stacks but ran into some bad luck. I lost AA vs QQ allin preflop for 50k at 250-500 to a ranked p5's player, which I simply can't beat no matter how good I get in vs them. I also lost AA vs KJ on J63 rainbow in a 24 buyin on Tilt in the money for 80k at 800-1600. I really don't know when I'll play again as I'm wanting to take some time off and relax. Poker is really stressing me out as of late, I shouldn't get tore up over getting 2 and 3 outed as I should be used to it by now. I'm also on one of my biggest heaters in my poker career so I should be wanting to play. The Horseshoe in New Albany is having a circuit down there next week called the Golden Boy. I might slide down there and play an event, but there taking 20 percent out for charity. Yikes!!!!!!! I don't know I'll play it day by day and see where it takes me. I'm going to try to live each day to the fullest rather than looking in the future. If I wake up and want to play poker, I'll play, if I wake up and just feel like watching Tv, I'll watch Tv, if I feel like going and hanging out with my friends or Angie, I'll do that.

On a side note, I found out last Monday that my sister is pregnant. This will be her second child,she has a 3 year old boy named Skyler. I really enjoy spending time with him when I get the chance. That is all that I have to say. I don't know when I'll update again, depends when I play I suppose. See ya.

Biggest online score ever

It's been a super long time since I've posted so I need to update. Last week I played a couple of nights had a bunch of deep runs but the only significant one was me getting 4th in the 129 Bounty on Full Tilt for 3k. I lost 99 vs T4 for 40BB+ pot with 4 left in that. It was 8k to win. I played this past Saturday night last minute, and it paid off with my biggest score ever online in the Stars 162 for 19k. It was a great feeling and I ran pretty well throughout the whole tourney. I've played around 25 hours total the last few days and have had some deep runs but nothing special. Monday was absolutely brutal as I only cashed 2 of 30 tournaments on the day but today there was some progress. I'm taking off until at least Sunday, as I got some stuff going on the rest of the week. We'll I'll talk at ya later, Goodnight!

WSOP Indiana and Online

I bricked both the 550 and 1060 on Thursday and Friday to have 0 cashes at the circuit. So disappointing to know how soft those fields were and not come away with anything. I plan on playing a bunch online the next month or so. I had 3 final tables last Wednesday night but got 8th, 9th, and 9th. I wasn't too happy about it but made around 2k on the night. I plan on playing tomorrow night and all day Wednesday so I'll probably have an update sometime this week on those sessions. That about sums it up, I'll talk at ya later.

WSOP Indiana

Sorry for not posting on this subject sooner than what I have. I've just been really busy with alot of different things. My first event was last Thursday with the 300+40. I built up a pretty good stack to around 40k at 300-600 when I lost JJ vs QJ allin preflop for a 20k pot to knock me down to 30k. I just basically blinded down to around 18k when the blinds hit 600-1200 with a 200 ante. The button opened to 3100, who was an older aggresive player, I shipped in with Q7o and he obviously had QQ. The next event was on Friday a 500+50 event, in which I built an enormous stack and getting in very good about every time. I had around 120k at 1500-3k with around 48 players left and 36 paying. I had been very aggresive to this point trying to punish the bubble. I pick up KK in early position and make it 8100 to go and chipleader shoves over the top who had around 250k or so, I snap off and he obviously has AA to end my day. Sickest part of the hand is he is the only guy at the table who has me covered and I was probably top 5 or so at that point. I played the 1000+60 on Saturday in which I donked down hard and got all in with gutter vs set. I played the 300+40 on Monday which was a turbo event and busted after an hour and half or so with KQ vs AJ allin preflop. Tuesday was the 500+50 PLO event which I skipped. Today was the 300+40 event and I busted in the first hour. My AK was no good vs 77 on K7655 board and than I busted with KJdd on J979 board with 2 diamonds in which I was commited after the flop, I obviously got slowrolled by 77. I wasn't too happy and I let the guy know about it. Tomorrow is the 500+50 and Friday is the 1000+60 which I'll be playing both and hopefully winning one. I hope to play in the 5k Main on Sunday but it will take a win or satellite for me to play. I'm going to try to give you updates after each of these next two events. I plan on playing online tonight, I'll talk at ya later.
