Okkk, so more of a lurker than a poster ( as I'm sure you can tell by the post count) but, here I am, ready to blog my 2012 adventures.

I had a previous blog here, that had like 3 or 4 posts in it back in 2010, sigh failblog attempt. Time to make it happen though.

A little bit about me;

I've been playing poker on and off for the better part of 3 or 4 years now. I've pretty much attempted every form of NLHE; MTSNGs, MTTs, STT's, cash, etc etc. Predominately it's been MTSNG's and MTT's...however I'm on a path of attempting the Hyper-Turbo 6 max sngs on stars, I realize the rake is much higher at the 1.50s, but I want to make sure I'm beating them before I move to the 3.50s (read as learn when it's cheap).

I'll try to keep this updated frequently and oh yeah, I'm rather a food addict. I just LOVE good eats, so expect lots of rants about foods too.

Well I suppose that's it for now, here's a couple savers to make it worth the read!

Ran/played horrendous the first 40-60 games, managed to turn it around.

Hoping to get another 50-100 in tomorrow.


HTSTT's played:83
ROI:6.94
ITM 42%




Dinner was delish too, pork-chops marinated in mushroom soup, with a triple cheese pasta on the side!

Good luck, keep posting pics!

No poker yet today, but I did go out for lunch to get a poutine made out of home-fries. So good, stomach's rumbling now though, probably should have only ate one plate.

decent day, played like 75-80 of the hypers, and the 1.10r 6max, and 2.20 cubed...ended up coming like 15th or something in the 6max, for like 15$ lol

still a decent day i guess, hoping for 200+ tomorrow...

HTSTT's: 160
ROI:9.03

Pizzzzzaaaaaaaaaa

Glgl bro, crush up those hypers!

We'll have to try to do another sweat sometime in the near future, last one had too many connection problems

you taking on a pet project jdawg?

Lol OP is a poker friend of mine that I've known now for about 4 yrs, always got to give a little help to friends in need!

Might as well add the little information i have on $1.50 hypers, played them a few months ago. If your shoving 5bb-30bb from the button expect this calling range from the BB.



does that look about right to you jdawg?

scream 4 made me a Hayden fan, must be the hair

Yeah, that'd be sweet bro! Anytime you're down, hit me up!!


Seems about right, I'd add JQo QTo and the rest of the suited K's...obv not for everyone, but theres a bunch of people i have noted for doing it.

Heroes is where I first saw her...definitely a 10 in my books.

hows the challenge going anyways?

played like 100 games yesterday, ran like 7k under ev(chips) sigh

giraffe and more games later tonight.

also going out with the fams to burger king...inb4 i chow a poutine and a whopper!

Poutine=extra cheese, extra gravy, extra bacon...yes bacon.

Double whopper.

Commence gut rot...gogogo!

Took a small break from the hypers to have a few days of sng/mtt schedules, pretty much b/e from 'em, decided to run some hypers again tonight and ran at like 26% over a small sample...pretty solid...slowly gettin outta that initial downswing...officially feel like im learning to crush them.




The wife brought me home a hamburger from her nephew's birthday BBQ, clearly I had to add some shredded cheese and microwavable bacon on it. Not too sure why, but I've been on cereal kick lately....I think I must have eaten at least 3 bowls of cereal every day for the last 3-4 days....Fruit loops ftw.

Anyways, gonna drink my chomo and hop into dreamland!

Get it in, get it innnnn.


Edit:

Not a big deal, but PT hadn't fully updated, here's the real graph..

Oh yeaaah, gotta add that I bought a candle with fpps, god I spoil my wife.



/sarcasm

Well been some time since I updated this, so I guess I should write something. I stopped playing the hyper turbos, I just don't think it's worth it at the 1.50s. I've returned to my main games, being MTT/MTSNGs...I've been grinding pretty much every MTT .55-5$ range, and 2.50 90mans...I feel I'm playing the best I ever have, and it's really only a matter of time before I ship something sweet.

Really eager to move up ASAP. I feel I'm more than good enough to be beating the 5.5-22s, so my goal for April is to hit 1.5k profit. There are some Low SCOOP events that I'd like to run in May..So hopefully I can get on target.

April's stats thus far:

smitts_lgp 501 $0 $2 13% $129 - N/A PokerStars 4/1/2012 4/11/2012

April's 90mans

smitts_lgp 146 $1 $2 65% $214 - N/A PokerStars 4/1/2012 4/11/2012 E90-90 SNG Only

April's MTT's

151 $0 $3 -15% -$56 - N/A PokerStars 4/1/2012 4/11/2012 Sch. Only


This WILL be updated more frequently as of now. I never knew what to write when I was playing the hypers.... (played 300, broke even....) but I'm sure I can write something up each day about MTT's.

Anyways, thanks for reading...and as always...Get it innn!


Annnddd some savers!

Well, feel pretty tilted this afternoon. My aunt passed away yesterday which is about as run bad as it gets. She was such an amazing woman, was really hard to see her suffering, so I'm actually kind of relieved to see her go. RIP Aunt Betty..

Anyways, on to my rant about suck outs, oh I mean poker of course.

So played a couple games today, not much just a few MTT's and some 90/180s on the side. I won a flip with 17 left in the 2.20r 500cap, (I never, ever win flips late) and so I was rather ecstatic, obv the next hand I get AKhh, I open from LP, button flats, sb 3bets, I jam for like 35bb, button folds, sb tanks, and finally calls with AQcc, obv flops a Q and holds, yup, out in 17th for the chiplead pot. sigh.

Anyways, I'm really, really happy with how I'm playing. Just waiting for results.

On another note, I'm pretty excited for SCOOP this year. I think this is the first year I get to play a decent SCOOP schedule, perhaps my onetime can be used during a SCOOP event.

I've been pretty broke lately(read poor as funk), and so I've been pretty much living off of hotdogs with no condiments. As far as being a food addict, and having to live off of hotdogs, well it sucks! Legit can't wait to do some groceries... I swear, first bink, I'm gonna do an epic shopping list, you best believe .

Backer doubled the bankroll, moving up a bitttt.

Well that session was a bust, couldn't get anything going. Only played like 1/3 of what I posted, for a total of 36 mtt's. Ah well, still feel like I'm improving daily. Still feel like that bink is right around the corner. I'm going to be including more 180mans into my schedules, probably just the 4.50s as I prefer non-turbo.

It's getting late, and I plan on getting up to grind a few games in the morning. If I can get up for 9am, then tomorrow's schedule will look something like this.



08:45 2.20r 500cap

11:30 5.10 hyper 1k
11:45 5.50 1000cap

and a bunch of 90s/180s

Take something down man!!

Been trying, can't seem to win flips late. It'll come though, I'm sure of it.

Not sure if I'm gonna play today, but we'll see how it goes.

Good luck everyone.
