$6.50 SNG Turbo @ PS...in the profit!

noreply@blogger.com (Neil) — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 05:11:00 +0000

I've been playing about 2-6 sng's per night and I've been doing great. Trying to perfect my sng strategy. I can't wait until I move up limits once my bankroll has enough buy-ins.

$4.40 / 180 man SNG at PS

noreply@blogger.com (Neil) — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 22:15:00 +0000

Got 2nd in the 180 man SNG, made $144. I had the chip lead going heads up and lost somehow. He trapped me with KK vs J9, flop had a J and I got all my chips in the middle. Going to have to work on my heads up game.

No updates

Haven't been keeping up with updates. Getting back to SNG's. I seem to have an edge in non-turbo SNG's instead of the turbos. It's less of a push fest and more poker because the blinds don't go up so fast and there's lots of play.

Waiting for my poker book that I just recently bought. I'll review it once I receive it and finish reading it.

13th out of 222, Pot Limit Holdem $26 buy-in

noreply@blogger.com (Neil) — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 20:08:00 +0000

Had a real bad day on Thursday. Lost over $15 again in .25/.50 limit. Bad beat, one after another. I won't complain, it's part of the game. On the brighter side, I placed 13th out of 222 in a $26 tourney, won $53... It was pot limit, so the all-in preflop factor made it harder to steal in later rounds.

I got a 1st place in a $6 SNG Saturnday morning. I believe my tournament game is better than my cash game because I don't play scared. Since I don't have a huge bankroll, my emotions get the best of me when I have swings in my bankroll. With tournaments it's a different story. I can take more risk going for flushes and straights. I'll be deciding if I want to continue with the micro-limits because it seems that no matter what, the draws will raise and call all the way to the river and they seem to get there against me. Maybe I should specialize in limit tournaments. I'll be experimenting online...

Could not win a hand. Could not get a flush or straight to hit with 15 outs or more. Aces got cracked by sets, I was always 2nd best. What a horrible night.

Major tilt. Other people's bad play makes me play bad. They raise, reraise preflop, check raise the flop, bet and raise on the turn, then fold on the river... they build a big pot and I know I have the best hand up until the river where the calling station is just calling away and gets there.

When bad play gets rewarded time and time again, I go on tilt. Its ok, because in the long run, they're not a winning and player and will show no profit. Thank goodness for poker tracker, I know exactly how much money they lose. =)

350 hands: -$4.50

Took some grueling bad beats. JJ vs A7, flop was 555, he caught his Ace on the river with betting and raising up until the river.

KK vs 99 vs Q5. Capped $1 before flop, bet, raise, reraise on flop of 2 clubs with 8 being the highest card. K on the turn so I hit my set, with more betting and raising, club on the river, Q5 wins with a flush out of position calling 3 bets up until river. Some people will call no matter what you do, its part of micro limit.

Semi loose-aggressive. I've noticed that most players in micro-limits love to bluff raise so it's hard to tell whether they have a real hand or not. Play the player, not the cards.
