Quest for $15k profit in a year playing low-midstakes MTTs
06-16-2015
, 06:08 AM
Had a wild Monday night session filled with ups and downs the whole way, but more on that later.
Sunday went pretty crappy for me, however with low volume and me using tickets for my bigger BI games, it wasn't that big of a deal, just frustrating knowing I had chances to make runs and couldn't prevail.
Sunday Big Ticket ($215, Carbon)
I got off to a normal start, playing nitty, winning a few small pots here and there, and as the blinds rose up a bit, 2hrs in I eventually took off. I had a very nitty image which allowed me to take down pots pre/postflop uncontested, I build up stack to a peak of 34k. PKaiser showed up at my table around this time.....on my direct left lol. I was pretty excited to play with him, however very nervous at the same time. He's the #1 player in the world for online MTTs on Pocketfives for those who do not know.
I didn't battle with him though, I did however successfully cbet 86o on AK5 vs him BvB and got a fold
Fast forward a bit more, 3hrs into the tourney, I have around 32k and just got off break, pumped, and in 3 hands, everything went downhill.....
I had AQo UTG on ~22bb, I minraise, nitty button reships 5bb, I call, he has JJ, we blank.
Very next hand, I have KK in the BB, early mid position minraises, I elect to flat my BB on 16bb as it was folded to me. A decision I completely regretted later on, as this guy had been showing down a lot of JJ/AK/AQ type hands that would probably call a reship. The flop came T29 rainbow, I checked and was prepared to shove over a cbet, however villain checked..... Turn brings an 8, I leadout for 2/3rd pot, villain flats. River brings the almighty A
> my eyes light up for a second and I get jitters, I check, villain checks back and shows AJ to take the pot 
The VERY next hand, I get K7o on 10bb in the SB, it folds to me, I shove, BB snaps off ATo, ace flops, GG.
I had a shot at a deeprun in the Sunday Big $33 on Carbon, however 25 off ITM I made a really bad reshove with 17bb on the button with KQs vs a CO open who was never folding, especially being 25 off ITM, a flat here is best, guy snaps off AJs, I blank.
I satellited into the Bovada $55 30k gtd turbo 10k starting stack for $7.70 and elected to play it. I got off to a good start 3 balling JJ on AJxxK and getting called down by AJ. I then lost a decent sized flip 66<AJ, and then a few hands later JJ<AQ on the river, thus crippling me to 4bb. After a wild, wild ride on the shortstack, I built it back up to 11bb as the blinds arose and had 4s in the SB on 11bb, MP opens, I reship, MP calls off QJs, board runs ATxKx, GG.

I'll start off this post by saying I did indeed eclipse $15k profit on the year this past week and am at ~$16k profit on the year as of now on a huge heater in the month of June. I set a goal of $15k profit at the beginning of the year, and have happily eclipsed it in just 6 months time. As long as I don't hit a huge downer, it's a success!
Next Goal will be to hit $25k profit on the year, which won't be as easy as it looks, especially as around 25% of my profit this year came off a single score.
On to my Monday session.......it was a crazy one.
For whatever reason, I decided to fire a sh*tload of tourneys, including some reg speed ones I usually don't play. This is something I don't think I'm going to do again, as I had 15 tables up at one point and was timing out of some. 15-tabling on a 4 year old laptop across 3 different sites playing MTTs isn't optimal lol.
I didn't have any issue building stacks early in any of my tourneys, the problem is was actually hanging onto the stacks I built. I ended up getting sucked out on a ton when it mattered, and it was tilting.
On the bright side, the Blackhawks ended up winning the Stanley Cup in 6 games tonight! Very happy about this, especially as a lot of my friends were rooting for the Lightning just to piss me off...lol
Anyways, my session started declining, fast. I was stuck $300-$350 with few games left, and needed to make a run at something. I ended up FTing a $5.50 deep turbo on Carbon for $98 or so. I got it in AJ v KT aipf for the win and lost, leaving me with under an ante and I busted the next hand in 2nd.
Most of my $33s and $22s went to ****, so that didn't help, I also had some runs going in two $11 turbos, which unfortunately came to an end with min-cashes. I ended up going deep in a $22 super turbo on Bovada, and took 3rd for $244 to help stop some of the bleeding.
I was down to just a couple tables, one being the Bovada $11 10k/10min which drew just over 1,000 players. I ended up making the money with 4bb, and actually tank folded when we were 10 or so off ITM just trying to mincash. I eventually spun up those 4bbs and made a run, with just around 30 left, I was sitting in the top 10, and soon after, found myself at the final two tables with a 6th place stack and $1.9k to 1st!
I had a very, very weak table, everyone was nitty, which allowed me to take down a ton of pots preflop because I was raising wide and taking pot after pot down. I ended up getting to be 3/13 when there was a long stretch without anyone busting. We got down to 11 players when I won a small flip 33>KJ, and a few hands later, I made the final table, coming in 2nd in chips with 9 left and position on the big stack!
I was super confident going into the FT, and was in perfect position to win. We got down to 8, I'm sitting 2nd in chips with 27bb or so. All of the sudden, my television goes down, and then my internet goes down and I get disconnected from Bovada, ****.
This may have been the worst possible time for my internet to go down. The strange part is, my laptop said my internet connection was fine, but I still couldn't connect to the internet. I waited around, doing everything I could to try and get my internet back. 15-20mins later, I finally got my internet back, only to find 35% of my stack was blinded out and I was 6-handed with 10bbs. Two hands later, I got dealt 66 on the effective Hijack as one player was sitting out. There was one shorter stack with 1bb less than me, so ICM isn't that relevant in my situation. I shoved, the CO reships, and turns over JJ. Board runs 773Qx, and I'm history.
It is highly tilting considering how much equity I lost because I disconnected, especially at what was a very, very soft final table for an $11 MTT. This was my first final table in a 1k+ field since 2011 when I final tabled a freeroll on stars and got 8th for a whopping $2 lol. So that is something I am happy about.
Nonetheless, I'm happy to have ended the day in profit after a wild session. I can't complain about getting 6th either considering how pure I ran to get to the FT and barely made ITM.
Thanks for reading guys, have gotten tons of positive feedback on the thread.

Had a wacky Tuesday session and a breakeven Monday session. Will do a full update later today as I am too tired to post a full update atm.
Took down my first $33 MTT which I'm very happy about, was a daysaver as I went into the FT 8/9 and down $350 or so on the day, much needed!
Had a 6th in the Carbon $22 turbo for $100 aswell after KQ<JJ for the chiplead, K flops
J rivers..............................GG
Thanks for reading,

Thank you 
> had an even larger score tonight which I will update in the latter part of this post.
Thanks AJ, much appreciated. 2 months ago I pretty much had no motivation and was able to overcome it and come back and crush > Am hoping to hit the $25k mark and I am on pace to complete blow it out!
Thank you sir! Keep up your success aswell as I have seen you hitting some solid scores on Merge in the last 2 months.

Looks like I was pretty lazy with updating the past couple days so I will post a long update here.
Monday - Had a breakeven session, nothing really notable, ran pretty meh.
Wednesday - Played a small session, got destroyed on Bovada for the third straight day and had a 3rd in the Carbon $22 turbo for $287 and 7th in the Carbon $11 deep turbo after AK<AJ then JJ<AQ both for massive pots at the FT.
Tuesday - Ended with a great session after getting destroyed in the early part of my session. I had just two tourneys left and I was stuck $350 on the session after Bovada/BCP went awful, it not looking promising. I ended up crawling to the FT of the Carbon $33 deep, 8th in chips, while also being in the early stages of the Carbon $22 turbo.
I had 13bb going into the FT, and needed to double quick! Which I managed to after 2 people busted

Was very happy to take down the win, and also know I can beat $33s as I was afraid to move up to them earlier in fear of being outclassed. I wish I would have moved up to them sooner!
Thursday's update in the next post.

Took down my 2nd largest cash ever and 2nd $1k+ cash on Friday night
Going through a field of just under 1.3k and completely sunrunning until it got headsup, I managed a 2nd place finish in the Bovada $11 10k 10min $7.5k gtd for $1,591! Couldn't hit a flop headsup and got it in AA vs QT on 984Q to bust....J rivers. Would have put me down 3:2 in chips if I held. I was pretty annoyed after, however it didn't take me long to realize how much I had scored and I felt really pumped later on
I also had a 3rd in the Carbon $33 Night Owl turbo that night for $348, continuing my success in $33s, which are a big step up from the $11s, however I do not feel outclassed even with the amount of regs in $33s increasing from my usual lower buyins. This week puts me at $18k profit on the year, and $27k overrall since March of 2014 when I actually stated taking poker more seriously. I must say, it will be a failure in my pride if I do not profit $25k this year.

Keep it up Trent! Sometimes I rail your tables and watch (stalker mode) lol
I went on a tilt degen spree (mainly because of RL work) yesterday and lost two buyins at 10 NL. I recovered it all back today. Off days suck, but we gotta keep on pushing with a positive mindset!
Oh yeah grats on that $330 score in that one tournament. I forgot the entry fee and placing. Top 3 I think?

The cash you are referring to was a $348 cash in the Carbon $33 Night Owl for 3rd place last week.
I've gone on tilt degen sprees before lol, just have to learn how to avoid them and when it's time to stop. Glad you recovered it though
Pretty meh week, nothing notable except a small win this morning a $5.50 regular speed on Carbon for $110 and a 5th in the Carbon $22 deep yesterday after losing AJ<88 for the chiplead on a J47T9 runout.
Oh yes, and since this thread is probably the best place to biatch about runbad, here is what went down on the Stone Cold Steve Austin bubble of the Carbon $22 deep this morning........

The rest of the week went pretty solid I would say, I had some pretty nice runs although all ended up with low 3 figure cashes. I am playing in smaller fields so I can't really expect a ton of massive scores and just have to enjoy the small profits
I had a 1st for $462 in the Carbon $22 deep, 4th for $140 in the Bovada $7.70 10k 10min, 2nd for $156 in Bovada $11 SS, and a few other FTs for smaller scores over a three day span.
Yesterday I also ending up scoring a $162 $100k gtd ticket on Bovada via a $7.70+R satellite (only spent $14.70) and I can use the ticket anytime in the next three months. Hoping to make something out of it considering I've burned a ton of money trying to sat into higher BIs on Bovada.
In the coming weeks, I plan to take a shot or two at a $109 or $215 MTT on Carbon as I have a pretty deep roll there for the games I am playing and don't expect to see my next cashout until October at the earliest. Worst case scenario I can just makeup a failed shot in my lower stakes games. The WPN $540 $1M gtd has my eye aswell, and if I have time I will sell 50-60% of myself in it + some overlay likely sats at no markup. Will post a link ITT if I am playing/selling action.
Off to Venice Beach now so no grind for me today and going to enjoy the nice weather, the ocean, and the girls down there

Had a pretty meh Monday and Tuesday although running pretty poor. I ended up dropping a hundo or so between the days.
Wednesday I played a small session and ended up scoring huge in a $27.50 turbo on Bovada, coming back from 2bb twice at the FT and then coming back from 4bb 3-handed vs two 15bb+ stacks, eventually shipping it for $896!
Today (Thursday) went about as ****ty as possible. I ran like a 2-legged dog. It was tilting as ****. I built up a bunch of stacks only to end up getting coolered or sucked out on when it mattered. I couldn't hit a draw or win a flip to save my life. In addition, I effectively bubbled two $215 seats on Carbon, A6<A7 BvB 5bb shove in one, which I still got a consolation prize of $55, and AQ<KQ for the chip lead in another which would have put me 1/10 with 5 seats.
I did end up satelliting into the Carbon Nightly $109, only to get completely ****ed over in a hand by a spaz who ended up having the only hand that really beat me here, although I didn't necessarily give him T9 in his SB flatting range.

The sad part is he has so many worse 2pairs/combo draws/pair draws etc etc, and the only hands beating me on this flop other than T9 are 3betting pre.
I ended up having one non-satellite cash on the day, which was a 6th place finish in the Carbon $7.70 hyper, which I ended up busting AA<77 for the chiplead in, board runs Q6458 @#$%@#$%@#$%
All in all, I dropped around $350 on the day over the span of 40-45 or so games which feels ****ty. My next full session should be Saturday, where I'm planning to play a lower variance, lower volume schedule with more reg speed tourneys and less turbos.
Poker is truly amazing, I felt on top of the world yesterday after shipping the $27.50 turbo, and today, it's like that score or the $5k June I had never happened and I feel like a donk, lol. Hoping to comeback tomorrow or Saturday with a better mindset and a main focus on taking a lower variance approach to each situation.

Thanks krissss and TRETIAK
Have been kind of lazy with the updates.
My last week or so went pretty well despite having volume issues due to RL stuff and work.
I did however ship the Bovada $27.50 turbo again on Saturday for $793 plus a win in the Carbon $33 deep turbo for $713 after coming back from a 2.5:1 Chip deficit HU against a really good reg
I took four days off without any "real" volume and went hard on volume yesterday and despite an awful start where I was running like poo, I came back with a decent profit taking 1st in the Bovada $5.50 for $330, 2nd in the Carbon $15 deep turbo for $249, and a 4th in the Bovada $5.50+R turbo for $315 after a crazy run. I also managed a 3rd for $84 in a small $11 tourney on Black Chip.

Been lazy with updates. This past week went pretty crappy overall, mainly due to running bad and bricking every $33 and $22 I played other than two mincashes. -$600-700 this week. Along with building up decent stacks in the Carbon Nightly $109 and getting crippled twice with AA against people who shouldn't have even been in the damn hand! In additional I also finished 3 off ITM in a $44 satellite to the BCP $540 after a long arse effective bubble, (35-handed to 25-handed play took over an hour and 25 were paid) where I had to fight a short stack after losing KK<QQ aipf to a rivered Q.
The week before went pretty solid and I ran pretty decent. It's been a killer June and July so I can't really complain > I netted around $7-8k in those two months alone.
9 hours until the biggest tournament of my life thus far starts! I'm playing the BlackChip $540 $1M gtd which has $200k+ to the winner. I sold 65% of my action to play it and hope to get something going in it, which would even better after the week I had!
Thanks for reading.

A very good start to the week without any higher stakes games and playing games I have a big edge in.
I played a pretty big session on Tuesday (30+ games) and profited a few hundo after shipping the Carbon $11 deepstack KO tourney for $480~ + KOs. I also reached a new height as I was 17 tabling at one point.
Today I decided to fire up a few tourneys and ended up shipping the Carbon $33 deep turbo for $564 after steamrolling the FT and coming back from a 3to1 chip deficit after losing TT<Q5 aipf and then AA<T9 allin on Q9J, both for the win.
Shippaments
Monthly Goals:
$2.5k profit
Continue beating $33s
300 MTTs
25 FTs
3 Wins (Not incl the 2 above)
$1k score
Satellite into a $109, $162, $215, or $530 MTT and cash.
Take 2 days off per week.
Play 2 full sessions (25+ tourneys) each week.

The last 2 weeks have been alright. Somewhat swingy, however I am profiting some and I'm starting to get a knack for investing in people well. 
I have been pretty lazy with putting in volume however and feel like my game has declined a bit. I just got started with PT4 this week and hope this will help me make better in-game decisions, along with being able to review hands and such which I was unable to do before.
I'm going to set some long-term goals for the next year. Was going to make a new thread but figured I would keep updating ITT for the followers.
This will be my standards, and goals I feel I can achieve, but will of course be a challenge to, by August of 2016.
$30k profit (staking/coaching included)
Be beating $33 and $55 MTTs over a decent sample.
Be playing $109 MTTs.
Have a $5k+ score.
Have ten $1k+ scores.
Play 5,000 MTTs.
$15 ABI
Start reviewing more hands and regularly do hand reviews in PT4.
Expand my HUD #s so I can start going deeper into player's stats and gain more information on hands.
Be comfortable playing 20 tables.
Win a Sunday Major/Major Series event.
Start exercising more and eating healthier. (A complete Failure for me this year and I'm eating Burger King atm lmao)
Decrease turbo ratio and start playing more regspeed MTTs.
Get better at postflop play and stop spewing so much!
Pretty achieveable goals if I can put in the work. And hell, I didn't think I'd hit $15k profit this year so who knows what can happen lol
I won a satellite to the Carbon Sunday Big Ticket today for $11 so I will be playing that this week in hopes of a decent score and I would just reinvest that $ in HSMTTs to get the experience knowing Carbon is paying very slowly.
Cheers for reading,
