Wow, there's some really nice scores in here. Congrats guys.

I was 2/2 in 1800fpp stt's today and won 2 $26 tokens on FTP.

Other than that, nada zip zippo lately.

I finally won one of those "impossible" $11+1 Turbo-180s on Stars this weekend.

Was quite a rollercoaster ride too, with a half-hour HU tug of war back-n-forth battle - victory is so sweet, especially to someone who basically only plays 10+ table MTT's and can count # of final tables on two hands (ok, maybe one LOL)...

Well finally earlier this year I had my first score (a FT finish higher than 7th)

1st / $8/ 2200ish for $2.8k

and then about a month ago:

2nd / $8 / 360 max for 500ish


Past that and my 4/180 success I don't have much to show around here
...and nothing recent

Note: All of said money is cashed out for life expenses and back down to minimal roll

I'll Play!


Wednesday night:

1st at AP's $5 midnight ~300 players won $375

3rd @ Stars $3 midnight. 1090 players won 228+change




Friday Night

2nd at Stars $20 for 1080+change























Then last night I literally got dealt KK back to back to back twice ran up against AA and another aipf against a/10 d on a *ddd* board.


Oh well poker givith, and poker taketh away. Its been a great week either way!

quick little evening of play after the kids went to bed (we're on vacation)...took 2nd in a 12 180 turbo for $396

ummm

call me a nit

but shouldn't this be merged with the SSMTT BBV thread?

iirc bbv = beats, brags, and variance

FIGHTING FRONT PAGE CLUTTER SINCE ... 2008

Beat: Finished 6th and 7th in 2 out of my last 3 $2 ds tourneys.... each had over 400... apparently I need to work on my end game OR just not run so bad when we are 14 handed.

April: Win an LAPT package off of one step 1 ticket (rollev over for next season)
May: 2:nd in a 36/180 for biggest cash score up to then
June: Won a 2r on Ongame for 1.2K (huge score att)
============================================
Chopped 3r for 6.6k last sunday
First in a PLO8 FO for $460 day or so after
Some random 12/180 12/45 27/45 wins and deepish runs in 50/50

Followed by 3-4 days of playing like an idiot way over bankroll naturally
Last night finally felt like I was back on track but got coolered nicely a couple of times.
All together up about 7K in August which I would have chuckled at if anyone told me in July (when I was down about 1.5K)....

I intend to quote this tomorrow and add another 5 figure win since I have a 4 day hiatus coming up starting after tonight.

Since I had been broke for the last couple of months this is like a nice brag for me:

Hadn't played any poker recently, when I receive a phonecall from a friend, because his Internet connection went down and he had to go to a friends house to continue his 11$ tournament. So he gives me his password and I manage to turn his 6k stack into 100k in the 20 minutes he's gone (sick heater ldo)

So I say, I want 1/3 of the winnings and he accepts... He finishes 9th for 243$ so I get my 81 bucks in this "freeroll".

I played a bit NL10 and **** with it, grinding it up to 100 bucks, when I decided yesterday to enter the 10k guarantee 11$ tourney.

Long story short: I finish 4th for 1150$ and will be able to blow the money in some bigger MTTs now

However pretty cool for a few hours of work and not one cent of my own money at risk

maybe so but the ssmttbbv is getting cluttered too and we were starting to see some pat pureselves on the back posts...like I said it seems like a positive thing to have a place to show off our results and people seem to be feeding off each othrs success

err.. i've been 7th in quite a few things recently, nothing major though.

Biggest being FT of the $50/50k for $1.4k, and im going through a really bad spell right now.

Bubbled the FT in a 11$ with a field of 1500 was cheap lead at like seven different stages of the tourney, and took like seven bad beats towards the end. My aces lost to queens for a HUGE pot and I flopped aset of jacks against a set of queens to lose an even bigger pot! Then with ten people left I pick up kings. I should have folded because I got reraised all in and we all know that AQ > KK

This is not a bad beat thread. Go to BBV to post this. This is a thread to encourage others with positive results, not to post about what could have been. Posting this for informational purposes, not to flame.

Ah you're on vacation ssnyc, shouldn't you be pleausring the wife once the kids go to bed IMO.

sigh...you young uns are funny

9th isnt that bad is it I was bragging. I just went into a little bit of detail, but hey thanks for the info dik.

7th in the 11 cubed last night for $700 and change, pretty frustrated that I couldn't ship another 4-figure score, it's been like 4 days now.

wtf Dunk you need to step your game up and stop slacking off.

+1

***** :P

Level I know, but it is kinda frustrating after a big win, to get descent cashes (at least thats how I feel). I just think "I was close again, and if I had been playing my A game it was mine!" Obv you can't win em all, but frustrating nonetheless.

Also makes it hard to go to work the next day. I just keep thinking, wow, I made 4k in 5 hours, and these assbags are paying me in peanuts.

True on both accounts. I don't know, I mean I got a couple crucial doubles late, but it just seemed like I was walking in mud or something, I couldn't quite get a roll going and get any real momentum. I'd win a nice pot, then end up raising and either just dumping on the flop or cbetting and getting blown off the hand, or 3bet a couple times, and bleed back down pretty quickly. Couldn't ever put those 2-3 big hands in a row together to get a big chip stack and really open my game up. Also, meh, I guess KQs 2nd to act 7-handed with 11 BBs is a shove, I just hate when I bust shoving from EP with somewhat marginal hands.

Anyway, I'm done hijacking, keep turning in those great results guys!

Don't mean to be an *******..

but we have a thread called SSMTT: Brag Beats Variance..

lol?

Hey guys, I'm pretty new around here, looking to improve my game. I play HL hold 'em and some PLO8 mostly MTT's and SNGs.

I've final tabled a bunch of $3 90 man KO's on Full Tilt, but I got my first big (for me) score in a $2 MTT with a field of 280 placing 1st for $150.

Look forward to posting more around here, and congratz everyone on the scores.
