Finally a good update....again

ok so I dropped BR down to about $800 AGAIN, I dont know what to say besides I just wasnt running good. I had a lot of top pairs lose to people calling all ins on 2nd and 3rd pairs and getting lucky, and these were not small shoves they represented at least 30% of their stacks or more. I cant understand how this is ever a good play to call 30% + on a hand you can be pretty sure is beat over 80% of the time. Guess thats what I get for actually thinking about a hand instead of just clicking call.

Anyway back to yesturday, I had a yard sale at my house and my mother was running it with my son and she wanted to hold my daughter so I was kinda there doing nothing. Well when im bored I play poker so thats what I did, I opened 2 tables of $4 180's and began to play. One I busted out pretty early dont remember how then while I was playing the 2nd one BOOM my power went out but came right back on....hmmmmm weird I knew my mom and stepdad were working downstairs so I assumed they were doing something. No problem right I can just relog on and play my tourney. Well my computer came back up but the internet wouldnt connect, hmmmm when I went downstairs I found out my mom and stepdad took the internet down. I was kinda pissed about this and it was down for the next 10 minutes, I have no clue why you would need the internet down im guessing they did it just to piss me off, IDK.

ok so my mom after 10 minutes yells up to me the internet was coming back up just for 10 minutes. To which I responded why even fucking bother brining it back up, remember I was pissed at the time. My step-dad said they needed to test it, ok so it comes back up and I log into stars and double up at my tourney with AA vs KK then the internet goes down again..... Ok so another 10 minutes goes by and it back up. At this point I decided that I would not charge these to my bap seeing as so far I have had to sit out 20 minutes of them. So I play pretty good the rest of the tourney and make the final table with 55k in chips and in 1st, the hand right before the FT I pick up QQ and raise from the button. I love picking up big hands on the button everyone always thinks your stealing, well I get 2 calls and flop comes down like Q94, BINGO and the BB shoves BINGO and I reshove and SB folds. BB shows 92 LOL and turn blanks and he is drawing dead. So I get to FT and 1st hand get AK and I raise and small stack shoves and I obv call and he shows AhQh, flop is two kings and 2 hearts and he fails to hit a heart. We get down to 5 or 6 people, I think 6 and internet goes out AGAIN.............FUCK, I yell god damnit very loud. Sorry for using your name in vain god but I'm sure you understand.

So again im down for 10 minutes and I lose about 6k or so in chips while im sitting out, I tell my mom that I owe my investors now $430 in equity for money I might of won by winning both tourney, of course this isnt true because I was using my money. But I was upset and wanted to express how upset I was, of course paying this amount would mean I cant go to Vegas in June. All that dosent matter because I won the 180 when I got back. I beat the table donk when I limped with 33 and he raised small enough to allow me to see the flop, flop came down Ax3 and he had AK. Then I made a great call with TT on a ace high board then I got HU with the other guy who came to final table with chip lead like me, he wasnt that good. I pretty much just waited him out and picked my spots I finally got it all in with my AsKs vs his Tc4c yes he called my shove preflop with that hand, flop was KTx but the 4 on river meant we were about even in chips. I chipped up on him till I got him down to about 60k vs my 180k again and I shoved 88 on him and he called K7, the flop came down 78x the K on turn scared me but river blanked to give me the win.

Two of my investors were watching and this brings my bap back to $1100.00 which is sweet, I dont plan on letting it drop below $1000.00 this time.

Larger Update

ok I have come time to update so I will, this whole BAP has been stressful as hell. I have run so bad these last 2 weeks, I keep getting it in over and over with the best just to see me get beat by someone thinking calling all ins on draws or middle and bottom pair is good play. I usually dont complain about running bad or bad beats but after 2 weeks it has really frustrated me. Last nights $8 tourney was one of the most frustrating I have had, I made a weak call with QJ in the blinds to a MP raiser. Flop came down Q high and I knew this guy would C-bet me which he did, so I reraised all in a good amount. In no way was this guy commited to call my shove it was like another 4k for him to call. He called with AT on a QTx flop and he rivered a Ace, then of course he said "sorry" which pisses me off even more, no your not sorry you called knowing you were behind and tried to suck out so no your not sorry sir.

I lost about $100 in my BAP last night, I have made about 4 final tables in last 3 days but I cant seem to finish deep enough to make up the loses. I have decided to cut out all my MTT's and just play 180's until my bankroll is about $1500. I will play the $11.00 180's as long as my bankroll stays about $750 and if it drops below the $750 I will be forced just to play the $4's but honestly I dont expect that to happen. If I was playing bad trust me I would be honest and say it but really when I say im getting it in good im being serious. Im leaving work here in about 15 minutes and when I get home I will play some 180's. I plan on limiting myself to 3 tables for right now, wish me luck.

Real bad couple of days

My horrid run continues, last 2 days have been horrible and im down about $200 give or take. My Bap is now at $922.00 which is only like $78 down but I still feel it should be much higher. For right now I have decided to just play the 180's for a couple of days to see how it goes.

finally a upswing

I played some really great poker last night, seems like my break from stars was enough to get me back into my rythem. Not to brag but last night I got my patience back, I joined the early doubles, two $11 180s and two $4 180s.

Early Doubles: I played very good in these and build up a 10k stack in one before the 1st break, in the other one had about 4k going into the 1st break. I got to the money in both pretty easy but then went really card dead and went out both shortly after the money. But the double cash bonus and money I won about $43 total.

$11 180's: didnt do too good in these, in one I overplayed JT on a ten high board and in other just went card dead and was forced to push.

$4 180's: took 2nd and a 6th in these for total of just under $200

verizon sucks

not much time to type this up, my wife told verizon to end our service end of this month and start it at begining of next monty. Guess what the genious's at verizon shut our service off yesturday and cant seem to get it back in. No cable, No phone, No internet.....NO PLAYING! They are just sooo smart, they are horrible!!!!

Im done trying to be perfect, I have realized there will be BAP's that I do not profit with. Last night I came to realize a couple things and I will list them here.


1. The $3 KO turbo 90mans are horrible, no really these tourneys suck and its like playing the lotto in them.

2. The 18 man $8 $26 chip tourneys are great, yes these are super. I have played 2 and have gotten two chips so for like $17 I have gained $52 in value.

My bap is currently down $200 which could all be erased by 1 big win, I plan on playing the satty chip 18 mans and the early doubles for the rest of this month to see how I do. If I dont profit in this I will be paying everyone cake in my next BAP. Until later good luck everyone.

Last night sucked

yep the title says it all, with my $24 chip I joined the KO. I did ok pretty early doubling up with QQ vs TT for 1 KO, then later on getting another KO. I had about 8k in chips and arond 60th out of 250 left, then I had some bad hands and dropped down to about 3,500 when my KK ran into AT. He caught his ace and I was out, I ended up making about $8 in KO's which meant the tourney only cost me .80 but I accidently marked a $1 profit in my rail but oh well its a dollar I will eat it.

Everything else I played I totally flammed out of but I did manage to win another $24 chip, I think what the new plan is to just get some chips and play the early doubles. Gotta go to work now look for a update later.

Other Forums

I have now officially been permanently banned from 2 forums, Cardschat and now BDF. I got banned from Cardschat for spamming my own forum which is understandable, but BDF just went overboard today. I dont go to BDF for the poker content because honestly their players are not that good, a lot of them are super weak tight and have no idea how to play deep in tourneys. Put it this way we ran a forum vs forum event a week ago, we had about 6 in the tourney they had like 18. My players made short work of their players and at final table we had 3 to their 6, we proceeded to knock their players out one by one till it was 3 of us and 1 of them. Unfortanty my 2 players went out next and the dude HU got lucky on me when he hit a flush on turn to beat my set of aces. Anyway they went hooting and yelling because they one not realizing that my players ran over them the entire tourney.

Anyway so I log onto BTD from work when im bored and have nothing better to do, they seem to run a lot of freerolls to attract memebers because they cant attract them any other way. I personally prefer to pick up users at final tables I make but seeing as final tables are not a regular thing for their users I can see why they have to resort to freerolls. Now im not saying cardreaper dosent run freerolls just not as much as they do. Ok so freerolls mean every bad player comes out of the woodwork trying to inflate their post count to get into the freeroll. These users piss me off and the posts they leave does more harm then good, like for instance one dude posted that he always loses with AA which is fine but someone commented that he folds AA preflop at FTP because it never wins. Yea great advice dude!

Anyway I kinda flammed some of the idiots and the admin got pissed he asked me to stop in his im the best and you are nothing attitude he has towards me, I dont know maybe he is pissed that I have people giving me thousands a month in stakes and he is stuck playing with the tiny revenue he gets from his site. I responded he needs to calm down and nothing mean was meant by my posts and I would stop posting. That should of been the end of it but he made a smart ass cocky comment in that thread towards me. I pretty much told him not to talk shit about me that I didnt about him so just chill, he deleted that post because I dont know maybe he dosent like being shown up by someone who can act cival unlike him. So anyway we go back and forth through PM's me acting cival and calm and him just bad mouthing me, its kinda funny how the nicer you are to someone the more pissed they get.

Anyway he deleted my account like a moron, see when you delete a account on a forum it still lets the username active, meaning I just signed up for new account same name. And I posted a intro telling him he needs to ban my IP adresses, pretty sad when I know more about someones forum then they do. Ok so I made a post in the intro area again saying sorry of how I acted even though I really didnt do anything too bad and told him like I already said how to ban IP's. Well at least he listened and banned the IP's this time. He says he is going to go to my forum and flame which is fine I dont mind, my admins will take care of him while im at work and if they dont I will when I get home, im not banning him though im a bigger person then him.

So now lets go to the good news, the actual good forums.

http://www.cardreaper.com this is my forum, has a great staking section, great staff, and bunch of great guys.

http://www.talkingpoker.com my 1st real forum I was memeber of, great admin, working on building back my REP there.

http://www.parttimepoker.com this is where I do my own staking, great site and well run.

those are 3 of the best on the net in my opinion.

FINALLY

ok I finally won something, ok it wasnt much but its a win. I took down the $3 6max last night for about $115, this is more for my confidence then anything. It also helps out my bap and shows my investors I can win, not going to go into real details but im happy.

I hate pokerstars

yes I hate them! The biggest online poker room on the net and im done with them. Last night was the last straw, losing with AA vs AKs all in preflop, and also AA vs TJ on a 9Qx flop. Thats it im sick of it, how can my hands lose this much? This is now six days in a row I have been shit on in tourneys, I had to end my 180's stake early and down and my bap is like down $250. I moved $400 of my current bankroll over to FTP and will be moving the rest as soon as I can find someone to move it for me. Because of that I had to cancel my $1700 bap which was very hard decision, I put up a 2k one on FTP but im afraid my investors might be pissed at me.

Last night I got a message from a investor I respect a lot, he told me I need to concentrate on current bap rather then trying to sell other ones. I agree with him and because of that im putting 100% effort into my current BAP. But seriously its not down because im playing bad, I keep going over and over my hands and I cant see how im playing them bad, Im just getting really unlucky to be honest. I decided just to play the early doubles every day this way Im not playing too much.

I havent been messing with my own bankroll too much because usually I just invest money, I think after the wsop I will start to concentrate on tourneys for me. If my 2k bap dosent sell out for some reason then im just going to play with my own bankroll.
