I should update this more

Mini-FTOPS

2009-12-21T00:51:00.001-08:00

I played in quite a few of the mini-FTOPS events and I feel I played really well in them. I got 271st out 17879 entrants in event #10 last Sunday. Today I was played in the mini-FTOPS main event and made it to 179th out of 15987 entrants before being busted. Makes for a decent cash but not quite the $120k payday I was shooting for. Maybe next time...

AA no good

2009-08-27T00:13:00.001-07:00

Ran like ass tonight on full tilt, I think I lost with AA 3-4 games in a row tonight. Just couldn't win when I finally get a hand to get it all in with and I get busted out.

So I go on pokerstars and ship a 180 man for $594 to get the good vibes goin again :)

Another deep run in the $17k gtd

2009-08-22T14:18:00.000-07:00

Well the $17k gtd starts at midnight so if I go deep I wont be done until 6:00 - 6:30 in the morning, but because of my past success in this tourney I feel like I have to play it. I think I've final tabled this one at least 5 times now. So anyways I go on another deep run and finish 3rd for $2500 and my 3rd major final table for this week. Again, I feel great about the way I played the whole tournament, same feeling I got with the other 2. Well, definetly got the money for my trip to vegas now! Hopefully I can keep this hot streak going, it's great!

Good week

2009-08-22T01:17:00.000-07:00

Have been having a great poker week:
- 5th in the $17k gtd on FT for $1350
- 1st in the $12.5k KO gtd on FT for $3229
- 1st $12 180 man on PS for $594
- countless other wins

Have been playing extremely well, but at the same time running like god. Hopefully both keep up so the family can take a much needed vacation

Long time no post

2009-05-01T09:17:00.000-07:00

I'm gonna try to update this more often, now. Not a whole lot happening, just finishing up the semester for school. I been running like ass online and havnt had any money on there in over a month. Yesterday I won a 2700 person freeroll, for $12 tournament dollars so hopefully I can make something happen this time.

Offline, I been killin the bar tavern poker league. Im ranked 1st at 2 different bars and 3rd in the region. Sitting at 66th in the nation. Just hoping I can get a free WSOP seat outta all this. Until next time....

More good good good

2008-12-17T02:03:00.000-08:00

So I have been playing low buyin turbo 6 handed tournaments and have been final tabling these like noone's business. Today I just got 2nd in a $5 one for $200. Shortly after that I got 15th in my nightly $26 tournament I play for $135. I played really well just ran into some tough beats. I feel like im really on top of my game all of the final tables I have been making recently and I just hope I can get a big win soon.

More Multitable Tournament Ownage

2008-11-20T02:42:00.000-08:00

Well tonight I won a $75 token got in a $75 Knockout tournament, scored 3 KO's for $15 each and took home 16th for $175.

But wait kids, that's not all. I was playing a $26 tournament at the same time just for kicks and got 12th place for $185.

I really got my MTT game going on now, and it feels so good to finally do well again.

5th place in $26 Tournament

2008-11-19T03:20:00.000-08:00

I just took 5th place in a $26 tournament on Full Tilt for $1115. Feels real great to finally hit something big again. Keep em coming!

Been busy

2008-11-18T17:19:00.000-08:00

Ive been really busy with work and kinda forgot about posting.
Poker-wise, the last couple weeks have been pretty break-even, nothing too big or anything. This week, however, has been pretty good to me. I took a sick beat in the daily double to get 12th place and $150, I also double cashed which is a good accomplishment. Ever since that win I have been playing higher stakes than I am used to playing ($11 Turbo 9 person sit n gos and $11 Turbo 18 person sit n gos) and have been just killing them. Have built my bankroll up to nearly $400 since Sunday. If I continue beating the $11 levels I may decide to move up to the $22 level. We will see though.

Almost FT daily double again

2008-09-11T23:09:00.000-07:00

I went on a mad crazy run in daily double A on full tilt, and ended up getting 10th place for $132 just missing the final table. It was a crazy hand, raise war preflop and he has AK vs my KK I hit my K and he hits 2 aces and I am done. Last night I got deep in it as well, I got it all in good but got unlucky and only made 36th. Hopefully this is a sign im gonna hit the big double final table soon.

Tomorrow, Sarah is taking me to eden prairie to stay in a suite for our anniversary. We get 2 free tickets to the rennaisance festival so we are gonna go see that and go to mall of america. I'm really excited, it should be fun.

More Turbo 6 handed madness

2008-09-09T22:15:00.001-07:00

Not a whole lot today, gay day at work and then went to the fill in station with Sarah to have pizza. And it was way bomb. Not just the regular bomb, but way bomb, my friend. Sarah definetly knows whats up. Leftovers chillin' in my fridge awaits me.

Then I did my daily doubles made it through the first hour and just lost some races. Got deep in another turbo 6 handed tournament for $5 (just won a $3 one on saturday), and I took 2nd for $182. I think i'm gonna have to start doing way more of these, they are filled with extremely weak players and the structure is great for my style. They are turbo and take a little over 2 hours til the last man is knocked out so they are not very time consuming either.

Just some after work hustlin

2008-09-08T19:20:00.000-07:00

After a gay day at work I got home, cooked a burger on the grill and made some mac and cheese. Then I got in 2 $14 satelites into the $55 Fifty-Fifty and made it in both. Decided to take the $110 and run. Then I got in my tourneys, the daily double , $12 each. I played horrible and was out of both before the first hour. After that I played a game of chess with jiffy and called it a day

New blog

2008-09-08T18:48:00.000-07:00

Well I just started this blog to tell the world about the crazy shit I do in life and in poker and to just post useless information. So let the fun begin!
