£1000/1month/double or quits - IT'S ALL OVER

edited October 2012 in Poker Chat
so with dev & garyQQQ near the end of their uber-grinds it's time for something a little different.

i've just deposited £1000 into my account.

I want to spin it up to £2000 in a month

I have tremendous leaks in my online game

1. i play when I am too tired
2. i play when I am too drunk
3. I play on my mobile phone when I can't really see the cards.

so, despite this, can I make some money?

i'm an mtt player by choice, but will play cash or anything else if I need/want to.

unlike rancid I'm not expecting this to improve my play, and I would recommend any cats in the neighborhood to make themselves scarce..

Wish me luck.......

    OK - so I'm not going to get wound up by the forum posts logging you out even when you are still playing and thereby losing your update.

    as I was saying, cards not too good for me tonight - just bubbled a tournament where my AK<QQ.

    Can't complain though as my KK held up at NL100 vs Qx with a Qyz flop.

    Finish the night on 979

    thks for your good wishes - let's see how it goes.

    Amusing that he said "unlike rancid I'm not expecting this to improve my play"...  I thought that was the last thing on your mind when you set up for Friday Night thread lol.

    thanks for the support

    played the mini/main & the bigger BH's between 8:00pm & 9:30pm. Shame I can only rarely play the sats for the £110bi event - and if I buy in direct too often this challenge won't last long. Bankroll mnmgt says don't play it - but this isn't really that type of challenge. And when your AK 4bet gets called by the utg limper with Arag - well you know the rest.

    anyway bounced around a bit in each but kept on running into the better hand - flush over flush etc - so I can't complain too much. Spotted a particular situation where I leak more chips than necessary - so hopefully I can put a stop to that. But as I said earlier this challenge isn't really about fixing poker play leaks - rather the behavioural leaks I mentioned in the op.

    Finished the night like yesterday with another bubble when my 1010 aipf was called by AJs which hit. Picked up a few bounties along the way but thanks to the £110 buyin I'm down to £846.

    funny thing is my play is great, just my patience and discipline that don't allow me to play my A game )

    CMON GELDY !

    op leak #1 - so last night I decide to have just one more game before bed - so enter a late reg BH, oh & a 15min timed while i'm at it. the latter I get my money back. the former I go out first hand! utg & +1 limps, I raise 5xBB with 1010, both call. Low paired flop, end up all in, both call. 37o with tpnk, 67o flops a FH and improves to 6666. Sure I'd have got off it earlier in the evening but no patience now.

    end of play £835

    op leak #2 - before leaving work I get a call that a good friend is having his leaving drinks. Good time was had and a few pints (or more) - then come home for a good night's poker!!! late reg into the mini & main, and play various other tournies including PLO8. At 10pm I note I am playing 7 tournaments. can't focus enough on what I have bet on each but at least I can see the cards and play accordingly.

    main no good. do better in the mini until rancid's 88>Apicture knocks me back, and then a while later he out draws me with his two live cards as we were nearing the bubble. (ps rancid it was a positive comment in the op, and I saw no signs of impatience in the mini, other than calling that last hand). 

    bubbled the PLO8, which I was happy with as I don't normally play it very well when multi-tabling NLH.

    won the sat into Thurs 12k SSBH

    won enough bounties in a couple of tournies to cover their entry fee.

    played a few mastercash tables in case they were shown on the show. Only one was and it only showed one hand I was in, where I folded preflop ("everyone played correctly so far" says Ryan - can't bring myself to say RyRy or whatever it is). But on the NLH100 my 1010>55 on a 234 flop to make the cash excursion profitable.

    left with a £5 NLH & a £22 BH where I cashed in both, the latter being the tourny I bubbled the previous night.

    meanwhile op leak #1 re-appears and I late reg for a £5 BH. play for a while before my JJ aipf for 13BB is called by 93o which turns 2p.

    So +£53 today to bring me back to £888. If only I had been sober.......

    urgh

    was bubble but one in the 4k BH semi - playing on my phone

    late reg into the main - but couldn't start playing for domestic reasons until 9:30pm - 1st hand I have AKs in the BB and watch it vanish before I can press the "I'm Back" button. Clawed my way back from 2500 chips (when avg was > 6000) to 4500 but that was the best of it. Not helped by having chip leader (>22000) Scotty77 sitting on my immediate left. Played some other BHs including a late reg for the £55 bi 4k 9pm and a velocity but nothing working. doubled up in a 15mins timed my only tournie cash.

    gave up MTTs & played some NL30 instead; regarded coming out a few quid up as a big success given the evening so far.

    balance £756

    from urgh to aahh

    MTTs were a wash. i'd satted into the main - nothing memorable.

    I played the mini - 25/584 = hardly anything in cash terms but a big plus in confidence after my performance the previous evening.

    decided only to play the £110bi Sky roller if I could sat into it. played 2 frenzies - one with 6 runners which I won, and the other with 17 where I came second. sorry IDCU, not nice to bubble I know but it was you or me! so cashed for more than the buyin so had to play. doing good until I overplayed a hand and ended up short stacked. went out calling a 3bet allin on the turn with bottom set vs two pairs that rivered their house.

    headed over to cash - played 2x NL50 & 1x NL100 - small loss on the NL50 - one quiet game with nothing happening and the other where I'd lose half my chips, reload & double up - and then lose them again with tptk vs an overpair. NL100 was kinder. won two big hands against the same oppo. First with A high, then with an overpair.

    Thanks BorinLoner. I was hoping to win a seat into next weeks open with my epic three verse limerick (on tonight's show thread), but then you come along with all your fancy words. I mean TK with cystitis - lol.

    Hoping this thread is keeping some of you amused, if not then I'm more than happy not to hang my dirty washing out in public.

    balance £924 (+£168) plus a couple of late reg-ed late night BH's I just decided to play - there goes op leak #1 again - don't expect to cash in either of them.

    you were the last person I wanted to knock out IDCU - maybe next time we'll have better luck

    meanwhile I ran deep in one of my late night BHs - 2/104

    so total for the day is now +£194 making my BR £1050

    and for the first time I'm ahead of my starting BR

    Shame I have to get up in less than 4 hours .....
