[Session results: A deep run with a tiny cash]

In this session, I wagered $32.25, and played 11 games, ranging from $1.10 to $7.50. I had a net loss of $26.75.

I managed to go very deep in the $1.10 Bounty builder, but the cash was disappointingly small. It was all a matter of winning the races late in the game, and luck was not on my side. Nevertheless, this was my best performance in the last few days, so I am a bit content.

[Session results: Finally some profit]

In this session, I wagered $28.50, and played 10 games, ranging from $1.10 to $7.50. I had a net profit of $41.54.

I made deep run in two tours, the $3.30 BB and the $5.50 SCOOP Big knockouts. All in all, a good session.

[Session results: Finally some profit]

In this session, I wagered $22.88, and played 7 games, ranging from $1.10 to $11. I had a net loss of $21.01.

I played the $11 Road to the Sunday Million, as it had a good payout ($10K guaranteed), and was low in players (a bit over 500). However, I was card dead all the way (a forced 16% VPIP) and so I didn't manage to make any chips at all. Eventually, I was left with 10xBB, and busted in a flop all-in with 76s vs AJs with bottom pair 6, when opponent hit a J on the river.

[News update: 2 poker courses coming my way!!]

I just bought 2 poker courses:

• Run It Once Knockout Tournament Mastery by Alex Theologis
• PokerNerve Bounty Hunter: A Progressive Knockout Tournament Course

I am so excited!!! I am still downloading them, so I will check them out as soon as I have them (It should be within the next few hours today).

[Session results: Almost breakeven]

In this session, I wagered $17.05, and played 4 games, ranging from $1.10 to $11. I had a net loss of $4.92.

I played the $4.40 and the $0.55 Bounty builders and min cashed in both. I also played the $11 Mini Thursday Thrill ($35k Gtd), made moves, but didn't manage to build a big stack at any point in the game. Eventually I was down to 12xBB, and went all-in with 99 to lose from a 56s in position 1082/4041!

[Session results: A short one]

This session lasted only about 2 hours. In this session, I wagered $21.45, and played 6 games, ranging from $1.10 to $11. I had a net loss of $24.48.

I played the $11 Bounty builder. I tried to make moves to make a big stack early but they didn't work (I just bled chips), until I over-called an all-in with AK (opponents had 44 and QQ), and didn't win. Also, I lost very quickly in the $4.40 and in the $0.55 Bounty builders chasing a flush draw, but I didn't feel like rebuying.

All in all, a bad session - I wasn't very much into playing, and I am mostly interested in watching my new poker courses.

[Study update: First impressions from my poker courses]

I had a look at the RIO Tournament Mastery course, and also started watching the Pokernerve Bounty Hunter course. What's common in both is, they utilize GTO play. I don't understand why they are trying to play GTO. I want to learn exploitative poker, not GTO.

Also, they are basically showing how to use solvers, like Holdem Resources Calculator and PIO Solver, which, also, I don't own. I don't understand why I should look at the solver GTO solution!?!

All in all, I am pissed with these videos. They are exactly what I didn't want to get!! I am hoping that at least the Hand History reviews they contain will be useful for me.

[Session results: A total loss]

In this session, I wagered $42.38, and played 19 games, ranging from $0.01 to $11. I had a net loss of $40.47.

All in all, a very bad session. I played very spewily, and didn't do well in a single tour!

- I played the $11 Bounty builder like a donk. I had my KK busted by QQ in a QJT flop all-in, where opponent obviously had me beat but I still called.
- In the SCOOP Afterparty 03 I got crippled calling an all-in in a multiway with QQ vs AJ and AK, when 2 Jacks came on the board, and finally lost with AQ vs 33 in a preflop all-in.
- In the Sunday Storm $0.11+R I lost as the final table bubble boy, one before getting the ticket, 6th out of 143! That was my last hope at winning something good, and so annoying!!

isn't charlie carol all about exploitative play? And maybe doug polk? Might be worth taking a look at their youtube vids.

Hey amatola You are right, both play exploitatively. I will have a look, and also whether I can get any of their courses. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Session results: A bit of study, and a small loss]

- Study notes:

Before the gaming session, I studied for 1 hour the RIO Knockout Mastery, and specifically the Hand History review from the early stages of a Mid stakes tournament win by OneH1tWonder. There's a lot of new points for me which I am going to try in my game.

- Session notes:

In this session, I wagered $11.61, and played 3 games, ranging from $0.55 to $7.50. I had a net loss of $8.15.

In the $5.50 SCOOP Afterparty 09-L, I got wrecked early on by a preflop all in where I was holding AQs vs A4s, when opponent hit a 4 on the flop. I got busted by the same player when I went all in from SB with 66 vs AJo, where opponent hit a flop straight. I rebought for 50xBB. I ended up running low on chips and called an all in KJo vs TT, where opponent made a set.

I played the $7.50 Bounty builder. I got a big stack early on. I made a call in an all-in from a tiny stack along with an all-in from a mid stack with A9s vs AQo and almost got crippled. However, I managed to survive and bust a lot of players from there on, and make some cash. I lost in a stupid way, when an opponent check-raised a QQT flop and I went all-in with ATo. I thought that he wouldn't raise trips there. It was his misplay that made me go all-in, to find out he had AQo and bust out.

Live to fight another day.

[Session results]

In this session, I wagered $21.78, and played 8 games, ranging from $2.20 to $5.50. I had a net loss of $7.35.

All in all, a usual session.

[Session results: A final table]

In this session, I wagered $51.70, and played 15 games, ranging from $0.55 to $11. I had a net loss of $9.75.

I managed to final table the $0.55. I was first for a while while down to the last few tables, but I got a huge cooler when opponent made a full house vs my trips, and I almost busted out. Hopefully I survived and busted out in 8th position.
