First time poster just tracking my progress on my MTT progress.

First started playing live like 2 years ago with Cash playing some $1/$1, boy that was brutal and I had no idea and it wasn't fun losing 2 buyins a week at $400 a week, so I looked for the different for of poker, tournaments.
For about $50 a live game that was much more managed in terms of losses and making friends with people who arn't trying to take all your $$$ is much easier at pub tournaments than pub cash.

Found a grey website (Ignition) and have been playing since.
Currently playing around $1-$7 tournaments and SNG's with some $10-$15 sprinkled in.

Would like to move to around $25 average eventually considering the hourly for what I'm currently at really really sucks ahah.

Things I want to work on.
- More bluffs! I basically never bluff rivers and I don't think I barrel turns enough.
- Incorporating a HUD? I currently don't use one, when I sometimes I look at replays people are seriously abusing me with the most absurd stats.
- Building enough of a bankroll to play more live tournaments.

Recap for 2/03

Actually had a live tournament ($150, 20000 GTD) so I didn't get the volume I wanted.

Bagged a stack of 122500 (starting stack 50k), lost a few pots and ended up busting to this...

80kish eff

Open Jc10c from +2 to 8k @ 2/4/4.

Called by BU, SB, BB.

Flop Jd 8s 6h

I bet 16k into the field to deny equity,

Bu raises to 40kish.

I'm confused by this, but at stack depth I can't really fold, I ship it, he snaps. Show 87o (?)

Qd, 7c.

Some highlights/lowlights.


Getting triple barrel by a player into 4 others with compete air to go runner runner two pair.

Binked a win in the $1.

I really should dodge the Sattelites.

Busted all the SNG's cept 1.

Busted everything :S.
Had a rough run in the last MTT of the night.
on the button
600/1200/120
UTG Limp
UTG+1 Raises 3x
Hijack flats
I jam AKo for 25bb,
+1 calls
Hijack calls.
AKo vs AKs vs AJo
7dQhQsJs6c.

Down to 13bb ish

Wake up with AQo next hand, jam it vs an UTG raise, snap jam from SB, run into AKo for the bustout KO.



Did a bit better in the SNGs, especially towards the end of the night/morning.

Made small profit via the $15 I cashed, was running deep in one of the smaller ones but I just ran into it and I'm just kinda tilted when these things happen.



Really needed to play more for volume.


Highlight of the day.

I'm 3rd in a triple up, 4th is literally afk been just folding to raises hoping he doesn't get a double up on his all in.
1st and 2nd get it on the flop and with top pair top kicker vs top pair no kicker, suckout turning two pair to get a KO.
Nice punt boys!
Imagine being afk and cashing!


ITM, What is this open size? Well I can't call here so I guess I'll jam and run with it.

Oh he's got Aces, ofc. I'm kinda more tilted because we're still getting it in if he opens normal I 3bet and he 4bet jams but when he spazzes off into the bottom of the top of my range I'm just kinda pissed that I donated my chips away. Basically a chip lead type pot :S.

Made FT in the micro, there was a guy afk in the final like 20, he was blinding out, watched another guy busted before him before FT.
Make it to FT, i'm waiting for the guy to bust, got a similar stack to other people.
Wake up with AKs, I don't wanna open and get jammed on so i open rip for like 25ish bigs (the guy afk literally has like 1.5 bigs), get snapped by KKs. :S.



Dunno what's with the $3 SNGs not doing so well.

2nd in the $1-200 for $26 and made ft in the $1000 for 5th.
A few deep finishes in the others, failling to really convert the $5 and above atm into good FT finishes. (I guess no one takes the micro's that serious even $1 vs $5)

Was pretty full with MTT's all day so I didn't get any SNG's in.

One of my most worst days yet

SNG's made up for it, got a bit more volume in.

Not doing so great in the MTT's still.
The two good finishes are actually Omaha games so they'll mess up my tracker results a bit.

SNG's doing ok though I had a tilty game where someone afk'd down to 2.2BB and I was just trying to rush through to get the KO but he came back shoved for his last 2.2bb, the defender (whos also chip leader with 20bb) folded then he proceeded to win 3 flips in a row, 2 vs me, as the underdog and I lost.
I was so annoyed even though it was just one SNG because I just couldn't believe what happened, like if the guy on my right didn't limp his small and raised it instead that could have been the difference maker ( I would have auto folded to a raise, instead we kept seeing 2-3 streets)

Pretty average day.

Did a bit better in SNG

Recap for this week (graph will show from 1st)


Not included in the MTT graph is some omaha games that I played, so my $$ didn't go down but my holdem was pretty much breakeven this week which isnt great.
High/lowlights.


I flop quads and get paid a bit.
Literally next hand.....


https://www.cardschat.com/replayer/?hand=3n6mtZLA

Open kings flop the 2nd nuts drawing dead on the flop, some fish decides to mess up the flow and I call off drawing dead to a guy flopping quads. (1st level of SNG xD)

Week 2 MTT graph

Week 2 SNG graph.
Been pretty fatigued so I havnt been able to keep up the daily posts.

Some low/highlights.

Sitting on 60bb close to late rego close, top 10 stack (Like 5 starting stacks)
https://www.cardschat.com/replayer/?hand=5n6mD7HX
Brutal cooler.
UTG limps KK,
+1 raises big, (basically clicks pot), I elect to play it safe and call with 10/10, UTG calls.
flop comes KJ10.
check to +1 who jams. I call to trap and hope that UTG over shoves/calls worse.
he calls.
turn is a blank.
I shove, snap call.
UTG has KK, +1 has AA, KK scoops a pot and vaults to no.1

Was really having a mega **** week till I binked a 3rd in a $15. I kinda stuffed up losing multiple pots/chips/bb to the chip leader/s who were like VPIP above 60% whilst I was 3rd I felt like I was in a bit of ICM hell having to wait out the short stacks blinding out/busting.


Torched my SNG losing 15 games in a row.


Actually ran below ev this week, I don't wanna blame this all on running below ev, but this is probably the only week I've ran below ev MTT or SNG, but there are definately certain spots which I need to play better.

I've never brought this up, but why the **** does the blind jump from 25/50 to 50/100? thats a 100% increase in blind jumps. Really messes up the flow. I assume a proper flow would be like 20/40 , 30/60 into 40/80 then 100/200
