sadly no good news....

got on the ft of 5 bucker on 888 with 300+ up top, 30bb, in the middle of the pack, one shortie
- with about 25bb in the sb, shortie in the big sits out, bigstack mp3 raises, bigstack cutoff flats, I have a slamdunk sqeezeshove with 10s, mp3 snapreshoves, shows jj and holds - out for 35 rid. bucks

finally some good news

3rd in the 5,5 10k big fish on 888 for 950.-

..... lifts my br well over the 1k mark again and gives me headroom for more interesting shots

gn8, ok good morning all

wahaha - I even suffer multiple suckouts when not in the hand

huge 50.- bubble in a 16,5 on 888 (overlay as so often)
- I am shortie on the nutbubble, with 10bb (punted most of my stack by shoving light in the sb on a shortie with almost 15bb .... Im an idiot, cause 888 regs disgregards icm and call off awfully light in these spots, DONT DO IT without A or good K blockers, pairs 5+ and 109s+)
- one player sucks out with kqs vs ak
- next player sucks out with 10s vs aa
..... at least I made the money with like 2bb

for a - fresh - change, no bad beat story in my by far highest buy in for some time (got in the 109,- megadeep, the by far softest 3 digit mtt imo, via a 12.- sat ), but A HUGE PUNT :P

..... I like my play vs a reg (also for future balancing of my value range), did not have any stats on the villain, but his 3 bet sizing that deep / early in the mtt should have let all my bells ring :/
...... still many recs. fear the flush more than nothing, but probl. he thought he is smart holding the k flush blocker, (imho completely irrelevant on this texture), but how he snapped it, I am sure he is just a donk that cant fold kk

7/14 in the 109.- megadeep on 888 (satied in for 12.-), 400.- fix, first would be 4,3k

even lucked out 2 times, carddead the whole mtt, won with 5bb a4 vs jj, one flip a10 vs 99, one ak vs a6s (on the bubble!!!) and itm a8 vs aj with 12bb

the one time I had aces I was disconnected as 888 had shortly some problems again

the rest was chippin up with max kq

got 4th in the megadeep for 1.650.-
not too bad for a 12.- sat

wouldnt be me if id not cry a bit, lost chiplead pot on the ft aq<a7

.... but cant complain, won also some 3 outers in this mtt

time for a new 888 chart

could become a great day on 888

- 3/11 itm in the 55 monsoon, 2,4k for first
- 2/47 itm in the 16,5 arena pko, around 4k for first

3rd in the monsoon for 1,3k

the arena did not go so well, ran into aa final two tables

up 1,6k today

.... not too bad after my abi dropped way under 5 last week

huge chiplead and biggest bootie itm in the 16,5 pko arena on 888

bout 4k for first

17 ko already

meh - carddead af the last tables - 13th place for 250.- with booties :/

lol - chipleading the 16,5 pko arena 20k on 888 on the bubble the third day in a row

ppl on 888 (at least at low stakes) have no idea how to play pkos - I am running over the tables, and run hot like hell - playing any suited cards and hitting flushes left and right, ppl are facing my shoves on the flop or turn every other hand I play

.... also easy to bluff, a huge bet on the flop or turn with any kind of equity mostly does the trick as ppl fear my shove on turn or river

the rest of the day is strange, won the 22.- early starfish for 450.-, but bubbled or softbubbled min. 5 bigger buy in mtts and 5 big satties (mostly 12 to 109.- ) with the sickest bad beats :/

.... so kinda even for now.....

one hand that is a good example

calling an utg raise with suited rags in the sb, floating the flop 3-way with only backdoors, flushdraw comes in and pairs a low board, I donkbet representing the paired 8, both fold as the 8 hits my rag range hard, and if I have a flushdraw I will likely shove the river anyway representing the 8
(probably they had marginal hands, but still so often hands go down in a similar way)

btw........ I guess the 55.- MILLION GUARANTIEE tomorrow will be as soft as well, as half the field got in via freerolls!!!!

this time I ****ed it quite hard :/

chipleader for some time after the bubble, but gettin carddead in this phase in pkos with minimal payjumps deep into the final table you quite depend on good cards even as bigstack......

.... lost 2-3 bootyhunts with 40ish perc and down to 40bb

.... tight 35bb stack with a huge 160.- booty opens latish, I get unpatient and greedy and just rip my 33 from the bigblind and run into aa - crippled and hunted by the whole table with my huge booty I bust on 22nd with kj in the bb < 65off middle open

cashed under 200.- with booties

holy fak - nutbubbled the 215.- megadeep sattie, a couple of others and again softbubbled a bunch of higher mtts

..... a soon as I can afford it, I will invest in a good coach to address the bubble issue specifically

pah - the bounty run good god turned his back on me

2x I had two shorties double dominated and every time they both 3 outerd me

and then ran into aa 2x and jj one time

such a soft turney, but with a quite fast structure you need hella luck, however soft it is

got some nice stacks still though

one is 28/43 in the 109 30k sunday challenge (6k for first) 7 of itm ..... PLEASEEE dont let me bubble my next big mtt!!!!

hmm

out in the 109.- on last two tables for 320.-, made an ill advised call with a10 - who shoves almost 20bb with jj late when there is still now real icm pressure.......

couple of other deep runs in smaller mtts, obligate bustout on the ft of the 8,8 4k for infinite chiplead kk<ak ............ this is getting ridiculous

.... still up for a couple of hundred on the day

had a short cashgame session on 888 (no time to fire mtts), nl50 snap (zoom), seems very very soft , light 3, 4, cold 4 betting without resistance and getting paid off bigly on rivers.....

up 5 buy-ins / 250.- in a couple of hours / 700+ hands

4th in the 33.- bigfish for 1.4k

... for once got really lucky in a couple of important spots, a 3 outer on the ft!!

last couple of days were rather rotten - down bout 500.-

one extremly fun hand from the new 55.- pko on 888 I have for you

covering most stacks and a 4 bb stack in the bigblind I open k8s early, tight button 3 bets big, shorty calls and is all inn, so I also call (wont call a big 3 bet with this hand if I dont cover at least one stack for the booty)

flop is Axx with the k high flushdraw for me, I check to the 3 better, he checks back

I am willing to check down to realise my equity, but to checkraise shove if he starts betting as his range is extremely capped (in this spot he would almost always bet the flop to iso the bounty with any kind of strong hand)

he bets turn, I snap-checkshove, he folds and I take down pot and booty with k high

then he told me that he folded qq

=> in pkos I often float pots where a bounty is all inn to see if the better shows a capped range and if so, take down the pot with a huge bluff on the river and often push out a better hand, collect lots of dead money and sometimes take down the booty with a marginal hand

shipped the 5,5 big fish for 1,4k and the 22.- nlo8 pko for 600.- today!

... had lots of buy ins, so up 1k the last couple of days

just shipped the 22.- nlo8 pko on 888 the second day in a row for almost 700.-

softness in no way comparable to ps midstake nlo8

GL, fellow neighbour!
