Assuming you busted the $100k?

Had been grinding SNGs on merge for the most part on and off the last few months. Saturday decided to fire up some MTTs instead, managed to satty my way into the $109 and made a couple small cashes. Busted the $109 pretty early today AA<72o in a 4 bet pot pre wherehe snap called my shove on a KJ7 flop (I lol'd hard). Busting final tables like mad though. Been following your thread since the start but hadn't chimed in yet. Keep up the good work!

Damn sick pics, really Fin cool

Thanks man.. And yeah, you assumed right. I busted out in 250th place. Was getting real short stack and pushed KQ diamonds in the small blind into JJ and didn't hit. Keep at those mtts, you'll bink one soon enough

I ended up playing like 5 more games after busting the 100k and I started to get so unlucky. JJ<88, AA<Q10, KK<10 8 (all in preflop too, I couldn't believe it. Just lots of really angering games. Buuuut it's all good. The 497 win and the 109 ticket put me far enough into profit to keep me happy.

Gonna play the 2.20 rebuy and the 16.50. I'm also trying the $750 guaranteed. It must be new since, hell yeah! Another one I can throw into my pathetic morning sesh. gl everyone

Thank you thank you dawg. Good luck with the upcoming move! The places you've posted so far look amazing. I'm jelly

Hey hey hey everybody!

So yesterday I ended up playing much more than anticipated. I wish I wouldn't of though. I couldn't win a flip to save my life and it was actually starting to tilt me pretty bad. I usually don't get tilted and can keep my head on straight but yesterday it was slowly getting to me. Didn't do anything too degen, just quit playing my A game and also regged in a few tournys that are a little higher buy ins that I should of. I did manage to get 2nd in a $10 knockout mtt, so that helped overall so I only was down about $130 for the day. I really wish I knew how to put hand historys up cuz I have a few from yesterday that would make your head spin lol.

Gonna head to my sister's today and clean her car up real nice and fix a few things on it and put it for sale on Craigslist for her ((since her boyfriend IS THE LAZIEST MOTHER ****ER **** SUCKING DUMB **** in the entire world))
Hope to get in a game or two later today.

One thing that I want to try to do is STOP multi tabling. I need to get myself to play no more than 2 games at a time. I have way better results and I enjoy it more..maybe move up eventually but for now no more than 2 so I can really work on my game.

Got time to play a couple today. Couldn't cash in any though
The bad luck continues, but I'm not gonna complain, I'll get it turned around eventually if I stay at 'er. Gonna milk cows tonight now, maybe play one or two more later tonight afterwards. Here is graph as of today, little embarrassed by the last dozen games or so

The downswing continues I did manage to win another $109 ticket though. So I've two of those. Not sure if I'll get to play 'em this Sunday though...I think I'm making a run to the cities with the wife to buy a sleep number bed
Done playing for the day I think, unless I get in one or two more this evening but I don't think so since the ultimate fighter will be on. Gotta love Wednesday nights!
If anyone wants to see a sick graph from someone on Merge sharkscope Charlie325, that guy is a beast! Anyone know if he's on 2p2?
If you know of a sicker sharkscope graph from Merge in scheduled tournaments alone let me know, I love drooling over sick graphs

Damn. I would be worried about that snake eating that little kid. OMG. Pretty sick though.

Still no good. Might change the title from Conquering Merge to Merge Kicking my ass. Gonna stay positive though! I'll get it turned around, not playing bad, just getting very unlucky. I guess it may be this so called "variance" people speak of

And thanks Rizzo

mtt variance is ridic, just keep on grinding and youll get through it

Right on Jdawg. I'm 6/17 left in 4k guaranteed and 14/30 in the 2.5k freezeout. Let's do this boys. My ego needs a boost! C'moooooon!

glglgl!

On break. Got 14th in the 2.5k for 36 bucks lol.
7 left in the 4k. I'm in 6th. Made a horrible call earlier with JQ and ran into AA. F I am dumb sometimes, there went my chip lead.

Whew. That was an absolute crazy final table! God damn I needed that. The $900 for first really would of been a nice boost, but I'll take 2nd anyday of the week I played waaaay too freakin loose at that ft though, I REALLY need to work on my ft game

Got another FT this morning in the $750 freezeout. 5th place for a lousy $70. I'll take it though, got all the chips in with AQ preflop against real loose player who called with A7 and of course rivered a 7. That's all she wrote folks.
The wife is gone til late tonight and theres no farm work or normal work for me so I will prolly play another couple games in a few hours

This is one of the many reasons I'm giving up online poker for 100 days, if not for life.

Yeah man I hear ya. It's pretty frustrating when you waste an entire day and have nothing to show for it. Just got to find the right mixture of poker and real life stuff and you're golden

Just got 4th in the $3,250 for $250.
Still alive in the $3k rebuy/add on with 26 people to go. Sitting in 16th place.
It's looking like a good night after all!

Damn. Got 7th for $110. Chip leader was just walking over everyone, making insane bluffs but had everyone covered by 200k chips. He raised, I pushed with JJ feeling real good about it. But of course he woke up with KK that hand. lol. Good game though. Off to bed so I'm well rested for work tomorrow and the UFC fights tomorrow night!
See ya everyone

holy **** that's a big snake

grats! What do you need to work on? SH game?

Thanks a lot Khanrava! Yeah, once it gets down to about 4 handed I usually F it up..I get too impatient and try to make things happen too fast, betting too much and in the wrong spots and committing myself to mediocre hands. IDK, I just need a little more practice I guess.

Sounds like you know it, but taking smaller stabs should help. Not trying to run over people when you have a bad image and they're calling lighter.

Smaller as in less barrels on later streets, smaller cb sizing etc

gl!

Played a few games tonight. Got three final tables but no real big wins. Took down the $3 shorthand tournament for $89. Not sure if I'll be playing much tomorrow, I would love to take another stab at the 100k especially since I've got two tickets, but not sure if I will be this time around.
Here's the graph as of tonight, the latest one I got $70 for isn't on there yet I don't believe.

Purty lookin graph, keep it up
