Re: Zero to ??? on Merge or Minted... Join Us!

These things are soul crushing. This is about my standard way of busting out of one.





    Merge, $10 Buy-in (50/100 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 4 Players
    Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

    BTN: 2,885 (28.9 bb)
    Hero (SB): 1,554 (15.5 bb)
    BB: 2,186 (21.9 bb)
    CO: 3,375 (33.8 bb)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with J A
    CO calls 100, BTN calls 100, Hero raises to 370, BB raises to 2,186 and is all-in, 2 folds, Hero calls 1,184 and is all-in

    Flop: (3,308) Q 2 K (2 players, 2 are all-in)
    Turn: (3,308) 4 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
    River: (3,308) 5 (2 players, 2 are all-in)

    Results: 3,308 pot
    Final Board: Q 2 K 4 5
    Hero showed J A and lost (-1,554 net)
    BB showed 2 A and won 3,308 (1,754 net)

    So standard for Merge unfortunately. ^^^^^

    No FT's today. Did well in the bounty tournaments. Scored a ton of knockouts along with cashing a couple times. Played well and ran ok overall. Grinded to 80's classics. Ya I'm kinda old.

    Remember to active the Double Point Fridays if you are on Carbon. Doesn't count towards VIP status however I believe it applies to all other rewards etc.

    Still on pace to make Wind this month. Have to push hard to clear 250 pts this week to make the 100 seats 10k freeroll Saturday.

    Have to grind a lot the next 3 days. I have a live NL100 game on Mondays and should leave for Vegas on Tuesday. Probably will stay for 2-3 weeks. Definitely been missing Chinatown and various other restaurants. There just isn't anywhere like Sin City for food.

    Chance-got snow here too. Just plain sucks. LOL My 1st winter after 8 years in the desert. Superbowl will be rockin-hope you get to be there!

    Probably play Steps 1,2, and 3 tomorrow also.
    BR $100.84

    See you at the tables tomorrow. GL all!

    Cleaned up on bounties and made a couple deep runs today. Nothing big unfortunately. Ran about even in cash games. Covered my entries though.

    BR: 102.58

    GL All!

    Ran pretty decent at 4nl today sitting at $49.51 right now.. Adjusted my cash game a bit cause I was struggling just breaking even for a bit, now things are turning around, hopefully it continues.

    Missed the HORSE freeroll, but the Dollar Dazzler in 9 min has a huge overlay at the moment.

    Wait: it's a rebuy. The overlay's not gonna hold up, is it.

    Those $2.20 10 player bounty SNGs are really fun. Made some mis-steps but managed to cash one for $4. BR $8.41, wish I was rolled just a little better to play them. Will have to redouble my efforts on the steps to scrape together more buyins.

    Took a nap, played one more $2.20, felted 5 opponents but still finished third for a $7 cash. BR up to $14.01. It freaks me out how bad the US players are in these.

    Merge is a network and you join sites that run skins on that network. I'm on a Mac and in the US so I play on Carbon Poker. There are lots more options if you don't have those constraints.
