Sunday deep run in a
tournament. Because I know how bad I am at MTT, I played a sunday MTT on a small site. (~400entries) Picked my spots, thought about my bet sizings, when to bet and so on. Also was able to get it in 9 out of 10 times with the best hand. the 10th time I won AQs vs QQ and was finding myself as the chipleader with nearly 20% of all chips @ 20 left
. Slow going to the FT and I think I doubled 4 or 5 opponents with like AK vs A8, TT vs AT, JJ vs 55, ... Nevertheless was always able to chip up und keep my chiplead. Until 5 left my AA ran into AK of the 2nd biggest stack preflop Allin and he somehow won with a straight
Couple hand later QTs vs BB 96s
and out in 5th place.
Happy to had a deep run but realizing the fact, that tournament poker is scary swingy. If you are out you are out - no rebuys,... Especially the AA vs AK hand showed me that it can end in an instance.
Im writing about my goals like I only want to qualify to live events for the fun, holiday,... but to be honest a mincash at the minimum should be possible. I havnt played any qualifiers this sunday, because after my bad live play last friday Im also thinking about going slower. Day1A for the event I qualified is starting at the end of this month. Will play the event, look for studying material and depending on the results rething my stretch goal.
I need to be honest to myself. A poker holiday without any successful experience isnt going to keep me happy. If I bust with AA vs AK ok so be it, but if I bluff in a spot where I cant explain what hand I represent and get called its on me.
cashgame:
lastly I suck at PLO and cant win a hand. Found myself a nemesis who is able to win every hand when he gets it in against me. Im running way below EV and missing a lot of hands on untracked sites.
Also the graph doesnt include my excursion into PLO 5 cards. HEM cant import the hands. Would love to see the graph for my PLO5 hands
Im ahead but the graph wouldnt look pretty - maybe something like an earthquake graph
bankroll ~$700 (exluding a 600$ cashout)
