#princeofbowlcomps - let's climb

hey guys
think this is my 3rd pg&c thread, the other ones failed so let's hope this is going to be more interesting.
after ending my backing deal with moertelmu around october I decided to play on my own for that time and it went pretty well. took some shots and had to cashout a substantial amount tho.
as I play a lot of weekend mornings / daytime I really wanted to include "higher" stuff which I couldn't afford on my own too. so long story short, I joined back with the #kingofbowlcomps at the end of march.
here's the graph since start of stake:
playing on 4 sites (stars, 888, ftp, party) mostly up to 11$r/33$FO. having a lot of fun with what is offered at my times of sessions (7 AM / 4-5PM CET) and honestly just loving poker right now.
as always, time is pretty limited and therefore my volume sucks. just trying to play as much as possible.
having a bunch of deep runs lately, chopped the Big 8.8$ 4 handed for 3.9k$ last month, got 5th in the 5$r 2xturbo yesterday losing a lolhand for all the chips and a lot of other bowlcompfinals etc. too.
not really sure what route this thread will go, I'll just start with goals for this month and see.
[] review at least 5 full hh's
[] participate in all the group reviews
[] get someone to review my commented hh from Big 8.8$
[] play every possible session
[] play 150+ scoop sats
[] finally get a table setup I'm 100% comfortable with
[] make $$$$
[] watch 5 videos
[] go to the gym at least 1x week

got up at 8AM to play a low variance session, didn't work out that well.
made 3 ft's of bowlcomps, semi-bubbled like 3 scoop seats, got 27th in the Big 16.5$ and managed to lose money today (rain)
it's a tad bit worse as those scoop sats can add up quickly.
have to say I'm really unsure how +EV I am in those, never really got into those sats and should def. study 5-15bb ranges.
they're obv still soft tho, just scared I burn too much money.
big day tomorrow, only get to play like 5-10 sundays a year probably so combined with the start of scoop I'm quite excited
not sure about plans, will go to the gym when I get up and if there's time I'll play a small session of sats while watching eptlive and start mtt's around the hotter 33$.
gonna play both lows and if I feel good / win some sats early I'll shotty the #2 medium + bigger 55$.
gl all with scoop!

no idea if anyone is reading these updates, I'll just keep going as I like to have it documented for myself and with time it's hopefully gonna be interesting
felt great today, went to the gym in the morning and then just chilled until like 15:30 when I started my session.
optimized my setup / settings over the last few days and can now comfortably 20table with minimal missklicks so that's a good start into sunday.
shipped a 215$ scoop ticket and final tabled a 26$ FO on ftp pretty early so I decided I'll give the scoop #2m a shot. went pretty ok, busted ~600 from the money getting crippled AQo<A9s of Laois Hammer and reshoving 12bb with 33 into 99. lost a 43k pot with AK<JJ at 250/500 too so nothing I could've done.
scores:
all in all a good day, won like 500$ despite taking some shots and had a lot of fun / deep runs today. can't moan about a winning sunday
probably back at it tomorrow, so I'll be able to cross off this goal: [] play every possible session
pretty low volume for a sunday, guess that's just because I started unregging while I was deep in a lot of spots and wanted to focus on those.
makeup almost erased, so that's good

ty abe, how are you doing these days?
thx boss, doing my boss to sustain your #liveprospew
crawled out of bed near dead around noon and started around 3PM.
finaltabled a 26$ FO on ftp once again (1.3k$ to first), lost ak<aj for the chiplead with 5 left tho. 11th 11$r on stars where I grinded my shortstack perfectly for a long time, then do this: http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-h...825_6C9CEE54B0
interested in opinions, think it's pretty borderline but seeing as we're 5handed and my table was pretty tight it should be ok.
stone bubbled a 215$ sat too, so pretty frustrating day but whatever just gotta keep on grinding

updating with very mixed feelings, had a load of deep runs including 2 ft's.
so these are the scores:
had a lot of other cashes in the top of my buyin range, so I guess I didn't run that bad overall. on the one hand leaves a bittersweet taste, on the other it seems like I'm doing a lot of things right and have good hopes for the future.
pretty happy I don't tilt as I used to. just doesn't really affect my game anymore, sure I'll semi-punt some micro turbos here and there still but it's getting a lot better and I don't feel like **** after a session like this anymore.
pretty pathetic graph for a session like this but wotevaaaaa. 24 games can't be right, guess not all have finished yet so it could be useless
gl all, especially fishingch621 in the scoop #8-M and moertelmu in the #8-H
so these are the scores:
- 16th Hot 33$
- 8th 4$r turbo 888
- 1 Scoop 215$ Ticket
- 4th 22$ deepstack 888

Thought about structuring this thread a bit better, just walls of text everywhere right now
Session
Started late today, around 7PM late regging the Big 22$. had a friend over watching the semifinals, didn't load too hard while watching Switzerland advancing to the finals beating the good old USA
Wasn't a great session, didn't reg enough sats and only played semi-well. That's the backside of having the goal to take every opportunity to grind. Didn't lose a lot tho so that's good, shipped one SCOOP seat to semi-save the session. Got 58th in the 3$r 20k gtd on Stars, not many other runs beside.
Sunday
So sundays are special for every mtt-player, I almost never get to play them. Pretty pumped to put in the 2nd sunday in a row tomorrow.
I'll go especially hard tomorrow, starting with the Kickoff and hopefully have the
to reg another ~9 hours or so.
Thanks moertelmu for having the confidence in me to shotty the Kickoff & SCOOP-22-M tomorrow
Gonna start going to offline-mode on skype during sessions and only update my backer when something important is going on, just really wanna focus 100% on playing.
Final tomorrow too, hopp Schwiz

Session
Sundays, oh sundays.
Started with the Kickoff and regged my last mtt like 10 hours later, that's pretty much the only good thing about yesterday
Shipped both a 215€ and a 215$ sat early on, couldn't get anything going in mtts tho. Busted SCOOP 22-M ~100 from the money reshoving 77 with 16bbs against bigstacks utg open. Not sure how happy I am about the jam, it's definetly close as he just got moved to the table.
Goals
On track with most of the goals, can already [x] this one off:
[x] finally get a table setup I'm 100% comfortable with
Have some things I've been thinking about which will lead to a fresh set of goals next month I suppose. Really need to work on my schedule and cut out some stupid stuff to get out of makeup asap.

Session
Started out playing pretty bad, need to compose myself for a few minutes pre sessions. Manage to get ready pretty well on weekends, weekdays is often just rush home and start regging which ends with going trough lobbys for too long.
Managed to make 4 ft's and won 2 mtts, ran hotter than the sun to ship the superstack and was 1st with 2x stack from like 21 left trough winning it. Pretty fun session overall obv, got out of makeup pretty quick
No poker until sunday morning, gonna be back fresh and ready for the low variance schedule.
Scores
- 1st ftp 11$ Super Stack - 1.4k$
- 1st ftp 11$ FO - ~500$
- 5th 6$r Party for some skittles

Playing pretty much everything up to 33$ FO, 11$r, 5$q, 8$c spread on 4 sites. Probably have to make a trip to the border soon and open a german bank account, can't miss out on .fr sites really.
Can take some shots when it's going well, so far played 2 SCOOP 215$s & Sunday Kickoff.
You're back in the micros on your own right? I'm still not sure what amount I'd need to go back on my own but had to cashout most of my profits so far as I was pretty tight on rl $ / had to pay a bunch of bills. Gonna start save up from now on tho, we'll see how that goes.

Played all of the last 3 days, wasn't able to put out my a-game tbh but managed to run pretty good on monday&tuesday. Could've been really big, should learn to close tho. Pretty upset with the low volume / slacking during sessions so there's still a lot of work to do mentally and setup wise.

Big Update coming, tl;dr
Summary May
Pretty crazy month, don't think I ever played as many scheduled games while still working in a month before. Only had a few days off of work, 2 mondays tho so big sunday volume is in there too. Really regret not playing more Sats during SCOOP, think I'll have to look into some strat soon to be geared up for the next big series!
Had a bunch of deep runs, close calls but that's just the nature of mtt's and as long as I make a semi-decent amount of money I'll be happy
Goals
[] review at least 5 full hh's fail, reviewed one and didn't even touch marked hands
[x] participate in all the group reviews success, there were only 2 but I participated in both
[x] get someone to review my commented hh from Big 8.8$ we're reviewing it in the group next tuesday and I think moertelmu already took a look at it
[x] play every possible session might have gone overboard on this and shouldn't have played once or twice tbh
[] play 150+ scoop sats
didn't, results are flawed obv because of rebuys. like I said, def. gotta make myself more comfortable with sats.
[x] finally get a table setup I'm 100% comfortable with I'll say this was a success, made some changes and thought about the optimal setup a lot. still not fully satisfied, but it's good up to 20 tables at least
[x] make $$$$
[x] watch 5 videos pretty sure it's >5, didn't count tho
[x] go to the gym at least 1x week too bad I don't have time to go to the gym before every session, gonna keep doing it on weekends as my mind is way sharper and I feel 100x better after session
Weekend Session
Planned to get in big volume this weekend and really focus on playing well again. Got up at 8AM on saturday and went straight to the gym. Regged for like 9-10 hours on saturday and ~6 today as I had to be finished by 12PM.
Made a bunch of deep runs, 10 finaltables and shipped 4 tourneys. Decided to do that in the smaller ones tho, so just about erased makeup.
Was pretty lucky to not end up breaking even today, missregged a 22$r to the Party 530$ Highroller and they ****ed up. So instead of awarding 4x 530$ Tickets they made a normal payout of 6 and I ended up shipping it

The last goal is pretty embarassing, not like I'm cursing at people but I still sometimes type out a "wtf" or "mbn" after an ugly bustout. shouldn't happen after playing all these tournies obv and is pretty stupid so I'll give out 5$ for every time I do it till end of June to the first to quote this.
