Won the third tournament of the day, an 11$ 8game with 42 players for 172$, but aside of a seat to the 55$ PLO KOmania that i busted, i only made a few bounties.

Ended the grind early for minimal 13$ profit today, and only fire a few of my 2.20$ tickets to sunday 8 million in a splash rebuy now.


Bankroll = 4437$


Looking forward to playing the 75% KO madness tomorrow.

Oh damn... Im on insane monkey tilt.

Busted 109$ 8game and 44$ PLO8 KOmania.

Lost top two and sets to topset a dozen times, nutfulls to quads, and in 3.30 rebuy to 215$ PLO KOmania, i lost 14 preflop all ins in a row...

I ran like a turtle lieing on its back, from start to near end now.

I even audibly sweared for the first time this month - at home - and when i lost a 90%er to get into the 109$ PLO, i smashed my fist on the table...

Now i spazz everything above 4100$ to get into the sunday million tomorrow, and the sunday 8 million the next week, including eight 2$ Tickets i have left.... Wish me luck...

Im so ****ing mad,.....
Pulled the plug at 4120$, smoking a big fat doobey now, and head out to an eastern fire with a friend, not far away from home...

Will fire every freakin satellite under the sun tomorrow, and wont ever second guess anything or stop it, except when i drop down to 3.85k for 350 max buy-ins...

Drank a huge glass of single malt before heading out, and finshed my friends half a bottle of Jägermeister he had left with him, before we arrived at the fire...

Right after we got there, i met a 250 pounds bi-sexual girl, who has been digging on me before, gifting me half of a decent molly once, a few years ago, etc...

I couldnt help myself and said "would you maybe like to drink a nice wine with me"...

She smilingly said yes, and i instantly pulled out a bottle of wine out of my jacket right there at the fire - like a true bum - and she had to laugh, before i did...


Will stay slightly below 12 drinks today, and be able to perform well this sunday.
Mostly mixed games on sundays, but wouldnt hurt to get into a big PLO event, aside of that.

After scoring two of two 530$s this month, i'll ofc fire max bullets to the 530$ PLO sunday highroller again. As i said, no changes, if i dont drop below $3.850, aka 350 max bullets

Congrats on your latest results from a fellow German grinder
Stay disciplined in terms of bankroll/tilt because from what I was thinking initially this might be the harder part of the Challenge for you. If you can keep up the mental then you can be very successful IMO. Will keep following and best of luck for the coming Sessions

Thanks.... Ya, it is.

Tho, i feel pretty save with my frozen 11$ limits.
But it ofc feels bad, when you spazz some stacks after a bad day... regretting it later...

Honestly, my NLO8 strategy is basically just knowing when i have at least about 45% equity vs everything but AA2x, and shove that, if its a bounty, and thats just slightly exagerrated...

Would maybe make sense to skip most or al of of those turbos and hypers at the end of the day - allowing me more focus for the last one or two important games - but sometimes its tough to skip breakeven flipaments, when being down for the day.

Maybe i add some changes to my schedule, even if i keep winning, after i took a few days off next week.

Only thing being important is to not go on a big downswing before SCOOP, because firing about 65$ for big field satellites on nearly 30 days means about 2000$ in buy ins, where i could easily just min-cash two or three 55-215$ Events.

The whole day was terrible. No matter how good i got it in, the river delivered the suck outs.

Bubbled some satellites, and only got into 44$ 8game, where i was absolutely card dead.

Even day-savers we're bad, aside of 45$ in the NLO8 hu total ko, where i lost a huge pot for the big chiplead with 8 left, and 90% equity on the turn.

Only got 11$ NLO8 hyper KOmania left.


Bankroll = 3906$


Feel like taking tomorrow off atm, but maybe do a very short session, only regging for 2 hours...

With SCOOP only being a month away, and me playing nearly any variant that isnt holdem, i decided to start studying seriously, again.

My NLO8, and especially my PLO8 need some work, hence why i will watch at least one hour of final tables on YouTube every day, and go over at least 4 hands in detail by checking equities on each street, looking at bet sizings, evaluating how big of a factor icm is playing etc etc


Because i dropped to 3850$ (350x 11$) busting sunday 8 million satellites now, i decided to change my schedule for mondays till thursdays.
I will skip all the 5.50$ to 11$ satellites to PLO, PLO8 and NLO8 events that are 55 - 109$ during the week, but still fire one bullet in each of the three satellites to the 530$ PLO on tuesday and thursday, which is 16,30$ per playing day.

Instead of those satellites, i will play more 3.30$ to 11$ day savers, especially the PLO8 and NLO8 ones, as well as some 5card PLO tourneys.

On the weekends, i will still fire everything for PLO high, horse and 8game (but skip sats to PLO8/NLO8 events that are higher than 44$), except when i drop below 2750$.

If that happens, i'll likely also skip the sats to all 55-109s of omaha variants at the weekends, but still play the few 8game and horse satellites, plus 16,30$ to get into the 530$ PLO.

Thats the plan until SCOOP starts, to arrive at fifth of May being properly rolled, and in the groove of playing all the games frequently, not just 70% PLO high volume.

Managed to get into the 55$ 8game, where all 7 players had nearly even stacks at final table.

Made it to 3handed, but only had 6bb left vs 40 and 60bb when i typed "i'll win this, now running super hot", and 15 minutes later i was chipleader.
Then second in chips decided to raise and then call off all in with second nutflush vs my nutflush in PLO.
Heads up went really well, because my opponent had to play me at PLO and 2-7 TD where he had some serious leaks, while those are my two best heads up games.

Shipped it soon after, during LHE round, and got 294$ for first, plus 412$ bounties.

Great short session, made up for the bad weekend.


Bankroll = 4418$


Got quiet a bit of work to do tomorrow and intended to take that day off from poker, but after shipping one today, i might play some tomorrow, too.

Guess i'll again fire all satellites during the week, too, as long as im above 3850$.

Congratz! I'd love to read a bit more about 2-7 Triple Draw. What leaks did he have? Thx.

Thank you

I guess he was a bit too loose pre, calling any two low cards in bb, drawing three cards, instead of taking just 2 card combos that contain a deuce to defend.
IIRC, he showed down an 86543 after drawing three in big blind in one hand.
He also used to draw 2cards vs a bet on the third draw, even when i was standing pat, or when the pot was very small, because it was limped and/or there was a street without bets before the last draw.
And i havent shown anything worse than a 98 low at heads up showdowns before, which makes that even worse.

Heads up 2-7 triple draw is extremly swingy, and also 6max, its the limit game with the highest variance.
Great tournament game to push people around by snowing, which means staying pat as a bluff. That works well when you pair your lowcards, and there is some icm pressure for opponents.

Insanity today...

Made second in 11$ 8game for 101$, and got into 33$ to 530, 82$ to 530, as well as 55$ 8game and 55$ PLO KOmania, but...

Lost AAxxds vs AA99r in 82$ to 530 PLO as chipleader vs second for save ticket after i flopped flushdraw plus bdfd and gutter that was oesd ott, cause he hit one outter 9ball otr...

Right after that, i bubbled satellite to 55$ on badbeat, and next hand i repot JT98ds in 55$ KOmania, get 4bet, Flop grat draw, but bust again...

After that, i quickly calmed down, cause what can you do...gotta lose that money...

Only grind 22$ horse now, where i also got into...

Min-cashed horse after wild up and downswing on the exact bubble.
Also got in and quickly out of 55$ NLO8 hyper KOmania.
Slight loss today


Bankroll = 4301$


Not gonna play tomorrow, really need a break

Spazzed hard in some hypers, and shipped 11$ 40man NLO8 for 108$.

Bankroll = 4340$

Played a short session and nearly ran perfect in satellites, only stone bubbled the one to 109$ PLO.
Got into 22$ NLO8 turbo KOmania, 55$ 8game and 55$ NLO8 hyper KOmania...

And again didnt score any of the 3 events...

But i finally won a ticket to the 215$ sunday 8 million

It just sucks that its included in my table count. Means, until sunday i can now only play 3 tables. Will have to skip some day-savers, i guess.


Bankroll = 4222$ plus 215$ ticket


Tomorrow, i'll likely just play a few satellites until seven o'clock, and visit a friend afterwards, if i dont go deep in a big event. Skipping the Razz satellites, cause of the 3 table cap now.

Lost a hundo over short session, running good in satellites, and bad in 3 target events, again...


Bankroll = 4125$ plus 215$ ticket


Gonna play a long session tomorrow.
Friday is the day with the lowest variance, due to the weekend warriors already playing, but there being no 530$ PLO, or other events 2x bigger, or with 75% bounties, like on the actual weekend.

Hope to score smth that gets me above 4.5k...

Cant wait for the sunday 8 million. Will surely play like a solid Maniac, if i dont get two or more high-stakes crusher at my starting table again, like last year.

Back in the golden days, when i had a backer, i scored nearly 12k in the sunday 10 million 2016, where i busted 88th place, calling of 99 vs TT with 11bb...

Good luck in the Sunday Million. It's gonna be huge. And tons of fishes.

Thanks, mate.
Itll surely be the best MTT of the year,... At least for those going deep, hahaha.


^^
Until sunday, this wont count.

To get some practice in nlhe tournaments again, i will add 2 or 3 nlhe events today, and maybe also squeeze one in tomorrow, if i find space with my 3 table cap.

After sunday 8 million, itll be same as before / as i posted in that quote.

Im so sick off it... Run like dogcrap

Busted 109$ PLO KOmania vs complete drooler, getting it in limp repot with KKxxds, and lose to QQxxds, which suits i dominated.

Losing to every stupid nonsense hand, versus people who cant even spell poker.
The nlhe games, i simply lost every bigger ace vs smaller one...

**** this day, im done after last two games, already.


Bankroll = 3812$


Starting tomorrow later, and end earlier

After i calmed down, i got back online and shipped the crazy 11$+R PLO 4max turbo for 237$, but had to fire half a dozen bullets for it...


Bankroll = 3975$

Three ****ing two outter in the same 5,50$ satellite, twice lose top2 vs bottom set with small spr elsewhere, and then i raise AATx and get called by bb... We see 888 Flop, he donks, i raise, he shoves and has ATTx, and ofc the last ****ing ten hits the turn...
Not to mention the 22$ PLO KOmania with 75% bounties, where every pot was 3bet of unconnected offsuit crap hands, where i lost topset vs naked toppair that made nutfulls...

Gonna be a great day, as soon as they stop the ****ing hardcore doomswitch on me.

Maybe the good run will come in the Sunday Million. Keep the good play!

Maybe today will be better...

Just got into 215$ bountybuilder and 109$ fenomeno to practice for the big one

Edit: Zero hands in bb so far, but 15/95 in fenomeno...

Aaand lost JJ aipf vs JTs for 15bb... Still 36bb left

What a ****ing joke again...

Itm in fenomeno, made a pay-jump, call my last 11bb with AKs, villain has A6s, shoved from ep, flops flushdraw, but then just hits 6 on turn, aaand 6 on river...


Other Games all went bad, except 109$ win cause 109$ 8game didnt start... Very frustrating.


Bankroll = 3902$


Cant wait to play the big one in 17 hours.

Im in the 109$ PLO KOmania, the 215$ sunday 8 million, and just got into the 530$ PLO highroller... Lets fkn gooo
