Thank you! Feels like it's been ages since that score and unfortunately I lost motivation to grind after it. I can see why they say a large score early in your poker career can be a bad thing. It took me 2-3 weeks just to have the drive to put in a full session, which I finally accomplished this week.

Cheers mate. I don't have much of a BRM at the moment, as I'm way overrolled for the games I'm playing, nor am I progressively moving up in stakes should my roll allow it. I can also redeposit if needed. Are you in the US or RoW? In the past when I was just grinding up a roll, I often used a 50BI rule for small field MTTs. If you're outside the US and playing on stars etc in large field MTTs, 100BI is a must for those as the variance is insane in 1k+ fields. 10% of your roll for each session is a lot IMO, as it only takes a few days of bad runs and your roll is damaged. I'm not much of an expert, however I would reccommend only spending 5-7% of your roll on sessions. If you're playing 30 tourneys/day, using 10% of your roll for each session is meh, it all depends on what field sizes your playing in, as in small fields you will be more consistent, thus needing less buyins and it is less risky and probably fine to use 10% of your roll for a session.

Got destroyed yesterday and cut my session short, was running pretty awful. Not much motivation to grind this morning, may throw in a small session later. My Black Chip Poker roll is up to $298 after some $5.50 MTTs/On Demands went pretty well and I got $20 or so from the Sit n Crush leaderboard. Been quite fun running up from $17. Going to review some HHs/spots with a friend and put in some poker study today.

Trent I see you've been killing those hyper turbos on Carbon.

Also nice pics! haha

Hey thanks man I've just been messing around in the Carbon 6max hypers when I don't have time to run MTTs. Around the same time last year I was actually grinding the $1.10 and $2.20 hypers on Carbon and then switched over to MTTs fully once Carbon removed their SNG leaderboard

Still waiting on my cashout from Carbon and it's getting annoying, I requested a W/D on Feb 26th and still nothing, a few other people I'm in contact with are in the same boat only with a lot more money locked up. I'm slowly starting to believe the money in my account is worthless. I also have a friend who owes me $600 after a stake we went did well, unfortunately if he doesn't receive his check I'm screwed there aswell.

Grinded hard Monday and Tuesday with one good session and one awful one. My workload was pretty hefty the last 3 days so I played a few 2-3hr sessions as that's all I had time for. Hopefully I can get back on the night grind shortly. I pretty much broke even on all sites this week.

If I'm feeling up for it, I have a Sunday Big Ticket entry coupon that I may use this Sunday and at least get some experience playing in a tougher field than I usually do. I've played it three times before cashing once!

Played short morning session and a long night session today as I actually had time and ran disgustingly bad. Lost a couple hundred or so. Not going to go on a rant about how many times I got 2/3 outered blah blah blah since that's out of my control and no one wants to hear that.

I spewed in a lot of spots today and took the high variance route in a lot of spots today and later realize I still made a sh*tload of mistakes today. I mass Grinded at night and had as many as 13 tables up, of which I busted just around half within 30mins.

8 tabling and under is where my table count needs to be as that's when I am most profitable and don't play like a robot because I have to in order to keep up.

Playing <8 tables also allows you to think about taking a lower variance approach to each situation rather than ripping 22 from the button for 20bb over a raise and other spots like that.

$215 Sunday Big Ticket tomorrow if I'm up for it along with a few other Bovada and BCP tourneys. Discipline and taking a lower variance approach to each spot will definitely be things on my mind tomorrow.

So April was a pretty interesting month for me, on and off the tables. I didn't get to grind as much as I did in previous months due to work and other IRL things. Things like that are always put ahead of poker, although it's upsetting when I don't get in decent volume.

I recorded my first losing month since I busted my roll back in December 2013/January 2014. As I began to think about April and the period of time when I went busto, there were a lot of common traits among both of those months. I got lazy, regged games I shouldn't have been in, and all in all just lit money on fire. I also forced in a few sessions during the month of April that (expectedly) went pretty awful. A week ago, I also noticed I turned into a mental fish, and was thinking like a losing player. I admit, in a lot of spots, I just went into a straight results-oriented mindset. The exact same mindset I had when I struggled at micros, lol.

I wanted to slap myself across the face, I later realized if that mindset continued, my same poor results would continue. I talked with a really solid Merge reg and he helped give me some pointers on how to recover from a losing month and how to get back on track and get the motivation to grind and improve again. For the month of May, I'm going to be focused on getting back on track, not forcing sessions or playing when I'm exhausted, and grinding when I feel ready and that I will perform well in that session.

The main reason I feel I had a bad April is because of the $4.2k score I had in late March for 2nd in the Bovada $55 $30k. I've always heard about how a large score early on in a person's poker career can be a bad thing, you never know until you experience it, though. You just lose all motivation to grind the stakes you were at and keep fighting for that large score. Even worse, some players will shoot right up in stakes and think they can beat Mid/HSMTTs because they had one large score in it before, which often leads to players going broke. Thankfully, I don't have that mindset

Going to set some goals for May and hopefully stay motivated to keep up with them.

***May Goals***

Play at least 3 full (5-6hr+) sessions per week.

Take 2 days off each week where I either don't play or have limited volume.

Don't mass register games and play more tables than I can really handle. So far, I'm comfortable with 8 tables, and can do up to 10, however I shouldn't be playing more than 10 tables at a time.

Exercise more, something I haven't done much of in recent. It's been 2+ years since I last played any competitive sports, and back then I was really, really fit. Now I'm just out of shape and can barely run a mile.

Eat healthier. Something I completely fail at, eating way too much fast food. I'd like to get some more vegetables and fruits in my diet, along with replacing Soda with Water & Mio (water enhancer)

Study and review my own hands daily, either by myself or with a friend. I failed to do this and April and well....lol

Play 200 MTTs.

At least break even. Not going for any profit goals as this is a "recovery month" for me.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Going back on the night grind for now, where the majority of the games are turbos which I feel benefit my game and also allow me to not have to play super long sessions daily. I will play reg speeds on some days.

The past 2 days for me went alright I would say, I got quite a few deepruns, however couldn't get anything going at the final table mainly due to not winning flips or 55/45 spots, which is going to happen in turbos where variance is insane! The important thing is, I was playing well, making standard plays late, and planning out sessions/games I would play beforehand instead of forcing in sessions.

8th - Bovada $11 SKO turbo A6<AT 9bb BU shove

6th - Bovada $11 turbo 33<AJ I shoved 11bb from the CO, was for the chiplead

8th - Carbon $33 deep turbo QJ<A6 in a pretty standard call from the BB over a 4bb BU shove

8th - Bovada $5.50+R turbo 22 v A3 vs AK aipf with 10 left for a 3rd place stack, I jammed 5bb from the BU, both blinds called, board ran 2A54K I won a 3bb side pot. First hand of the FT, 8-handed dealt in the BB on 3bb with JTo, SB shoves A4, I call, flop 244, GG.

Just need to win that one flip or 55/45 60/40 spot late and I'll be back on track.

Sorry for the book I wrote

Trent

So this week was well, swingy. I have been on the night grind which is pretty much all turbos other than 1-2 reg speeds I may add in. I am very comfortable in the turbo/hyper structures, however the variance is starting to tilt the **** out of me.

On the bright, side, I feel I'm back on track this month with focus and drive, and am playing a lot more disciplined. I also took 2 todays off this week where I didn't open up a single poker client or play a single hand of poker. I have been focusing on exercise, and have gotten in my daily hour of exercise each day this week, even kicking a soccer ball around helps!

First off, I've eliminated all micros from my nightly schedule, which is a step in the right direction and something I definitely should be doing. Unforunately, I'm running pretty piss poor in 22/33s, however I don't feel outclassed and that the play quality is not very good, and only a bit better than an 11.

I am starting to learn/handle the swings of firing a lot of low/midstakes MTTs in a session, along with playing 8-12 tables at once. The costs for each session add up when putting in heavy volume.

To all "serious" players reading this, this is why bankroll management is so important in MTTs and why progressively moving up in stakes should your roll allow it is a huge mistake. A few bad sessions of heavy volume with <100BI in your roll can nearly destroy your bankroll, especially if you don't have an edge on the competition. Anyone, no matter how skilled you are, can fall a victim to variance.

I ended up profiting just around $500 on Bovada this week, ~$60 on Black Chip, while dropping $300 or so on Carbon. Losing money on Carbon isn't that big of a deal for now, as they aren't paying out. I'm also playing a small schedule there as part of my grinds, usually 3-4 MTTs while also running pretty poor

On my Saturday Night session today, which was a pretty sick one. I felt I played pretty mistake-free other than a few spots where I have no one but myself to blame in for ****ing up.

28th - BCP $11 turbo mega stack
9th - Bovada $16.50 10k/6min turbo
20th - Bovada $22 turbo
10th - Bovada $11 turbo deep
9th - Bovada $7.70 super turbo
4th - Bovada $16.50 turbo KO

In the BCP $11 turbo, I was actually 1/38 at one point, and then screwed up a hand pretty badly shoving 4s for 22 big blinds in the BB over a button 3x open, usually this will be correct, however I knew this guy was pretty much nutted in this spot, I shoved and he snapped KK.

I barely made the FT of the Bovada $16.50 10k chips turbo before jamming Q8s BvB for 12bb into KJ, facepalm.

I was actually 2/21 in the Bovada $22 turbo looking like a lock for a FT, then I shoved AJ from BU-3 and lost half my stack getting called my TT and losing. The very next hand I jammed 9bb from the HJ with A6 and ran into AA.

I made an ICM suicide shove on 3.5bb w/ A8 on the button on the FT bubble of the $11 turbo deep, there were two 1bb stacks and I could have easily ICM folded to try and ladder a bit, instead I jammed and the big stack BB woke up with AJ.

Not much to say about my 9th place in the $7.70 ST, the blinds caught up to me and I ripped my last 3bb sitting 9/9 at the FT with A8 from the HJ, and unforunately ran into QQ.

The $16.50 turbo KO FT was a crazy one, I came in 3/9 and ended up getting TT the first hand, I shoved 11bb eff on a 19bb or so stack and got called by 66 and JJ leaving me down to 8bb. The next hand I shoved ATs UTG for 8bb and held vs KQ. I laddered up a bit, and was sitting 4/4. I doubled AT>QT putting me 3/4 with just around 13bb.

I got dealt AJ in the BB on 13bb, the button opened 2x on an 11bb stack, I reshoved and got snapped by A6, surprisingly. The guy proceeded to runner a flush on me and leave me crippled. Play bad, win, such and easy game lol.

No 2bb comeback for me as I busted a few hands later in 4th.

Pretty crazy night overrall, plenty of other sick hands/bad beats/bad beats I gave that I won't mention since this post is long enough lol.

I feel I'm back on track and hope to continue to get deep and eventually bink something nice again, it's just frustrating going deep in tournaments and then finishing in the bottom of the FT or in the F2Ts. As long as I'm playing well, there's nothing I can do, I just need to keep doing everything correctly that is in my control!

Trent

Hi Trent

Nice thread, enjoyable read. Nice results/grind mentality, something I need to work on. Your post concerning br management was spot on, I've had several 50bi+ downswings in MTTs and it's easy to move up to "chase losses" or move up after a nice score even though you aren't mentally ready or your bankroll can't sustain playing higher stakes, you just end up burning through your win.

MTTs can be brutal making deep runs that fizzle out and taking multiple bad beats per tourney, or losing to plays that leave you scratching your head. It's great and inspirational to see that you have such a great mindset and know it's important to focus on the big picture and that results will come if you keep doing the right things.

You mentioned taking a lower variance approach in some spots in an earlier post, I have also been working on this. You see a lot of the same guys in high stakes make ft after ft and it's not because they are taking flips and 55/45,60/40, preflop spots and winning. They are great postflop players and win the maximum while minimalizing risk. It's so hard to survive MTTs when u put your stack at risk time and time again, even when you are constantly getting it in good.

On another note, what do you think of bovada vs carbon? I just started on bovada recently after playing carbon 4 years and the software has taken some getting used to. I seem to time out a ton when I have a lot of tables up bc they dont always pop up or others pop up while still acting on others. Any suggestions other than play less tables? Also, I've seen some of the most horrendous play in 6yrs playing online poker on bovada, but overall skill level is about the same for both sites, just that the bad players on bovada are REALLY bad. As for tournament payout structure, do you prefer the top heavy, less % of the field paid out bovada structure, or the carbon structure which is more flat with greater % of field paid. I think carbon's is better for reducing variance, but I like the extra ft $ on bovada. I think if a min cash was higher on bovada it would be perfect but the xtra $ goes mostly up top.

Anyway sorry for the wall of text and I wish u best of luck on the tables.

Good luck bud... Just remember every bustout hand isn't necessarily a mistake.. As long as you have a plan and a reason for doing it you can live with it... (Coming from me who shoved q8o for 12 bbs to go out 19th in the big ticket last week)

Cheers AJ, and I definitely agree there, the majority of bustout hands often won't be from a mistake, especially in turbo/hyper-turbo formats. I used to be a complete mental fish with a results-oriented mindset and would think every bustout hand was a mistake and I should have played the hand differently because I lost lol, glad those days are behind me though.

Thanks man, appreciate the support

I've had plenty of problems with BRM in the past, back when I was grinding micros, and it eventually cost me two BRs I worked really hard to get. Chasing losses used to be a BIG problem of mine in the past, and I have a friend who has went busto over and over again because of it. I remember I would chase losses in anyway I could, mainly the degen way of registering $11 hyper turbos pretty much clueless to proper strategy in them back then and would end up blowing even more of my roll, when at the time, I was grinding $1/$2 MTTs.

Because of those experiences, it really set me straight and made me a lot more disciplined, which in the proccess, allowed me to learn from my mistakes and start improving and building up a roll the right way. Now I am a pure bankroll nit!

I completely agree with you about the lower variance approach to spots, when looking on how to find edges in tournaments at higher stakes, taking a lower variance approach gives a lot of those guys the edge and frankly something that is actually in the players control. In early/midstage MTT play I started using it and now am developing how to take lower variance routes in the latter stages and more importantly, when to. It's easy to 4bet shove AK/TT/JJ early on with 75bb after opening and getting 3bet, however flatting is something over time you figure out is correct and will minimize the variance/risk in each spot.

As for Bovada vs Carbon atm, I would have to say Bovada is the best as of now based on their cashout times and tournament schedule, with Carbon taking 9-10 weeks with even processing people's checks (including mine) > it's practically a play money site and is looking like it's going down soon. I cashed out of Bovada just over a month ago and recieved a check in the mail in 9 days, while I requested a check from Carbon on February 26th and it hasn't even been processed.

If Carbon starts paying again in their normal 2-4 week time frame, both sites are about equal and have equally good and bad things about them pretty much. Bovada has better tournaments/more variety/better gtds/no super long late reg/no re-entry/no auto-regging you when you win a satellite/quick cashout times. Of course, the software sucks, the tables only minimize to a certain length, and likewise you, I have had my experiences with timing out of Bovada tables because the timebank doesn't activate automatically, playing more than 4 tables on their is a bitch aswell.

I could go on and on about the pros and cons of each site however there's way too many lol. I would just strongly recommend Bovada at this time since their cashouts are reliable and their tournaments are heaps better than Carbon's, it just takes getting used to the anonymous aspect and the poo software.

Had a pretty solid week for the most part. I took a few days off where I didn't play any poker at all, and it is helping my game a lot. I'm less stressed going into each session and don't get burned out as easily, and this month I feel my game has already developed and I am playing very mistake-free.

I played 3 sessions this week and all were profitable, the only frustrating thing that has been happening is my inability to make the final 3 at any of the FTs I make. It gets frustrating grinding out 9th-5th place finishing and going pretty much card dead at FTs, then having to force spots because it's slightly +EV and I can't pass up on it. I understand variance, and know I will go on stretches like this and just have to grind through, knowing there will be plenty of deep runs where I'm in a great position to win.

I usually play 10-12 tables at a time, my peak was 14 this week. I feel very comfortable and can also handle <10 tables very easily and I don't feel rushed either. My volume has been pretty solid, on Thursday I managed to play 37 MTTs in just a 5.5 hour session and profited. Although I feel like I'm playing nitty, I'm not getting out of line and playing disciplined poker, which is what is key to winning at low and midstakes MTTs.

I did however hit a nice score today in a Carbon tournament. Gripsed runs a private Friday Freeroll each week, along with a $5.50+R 6max turbo private game on Saturdays, with $100 added to the prize pool and the winner of the game getting a $215 Sunday Big Ticket coupon in addition. I ended up crushing the tournament from 10 players left, and despite going from a massive chiplead to shortstack 3-handed, I still managed a comeback to win the tournament for $259 and a $215 Big Ticket entry coupon I plan on playing the Sunday Big Ticket with the coupon in a few weeks.



Although just a 38 player field, the value is insanely good, I also late regged after the rebuy period and just took the addon, so I was only in for $10.50!

I don't plan on playing a full session tomorrow, as I am most always busy on Sundays and Sundays tend to be my worst day in poker. I may run some turbos on Bovada and a few other random tournaments should I have time.

Thanks to all reading this thread, have had a lot of people give me positive feedback on the thread

Trent

Forgot to mention, I received my Carbon cashout this week after waiting 9 weeks for it! I deposited it in the bank earlier in the week, just have to hope the check clears. As of now, I will be putting in more volume on Carbon, however I will mostly be playing on Bovada and Black Chip as they pay out much quicker and are more reliable.

Finally came through, and made a run at FTs late in tournaments tonight, feels amazing as it's been nearly 2 months since I actually got a decent cash.

Decided to start up a session at around 5:30pm pacific time today, and only planned to play a few MTTs, then I began to start registering more and more games and next thing you know, I had 10 tables up lol.

The early part of my session was filled with runbad, building stacks, getting sucked out on for them later on, was highly tilting but I kept my composure.

I ended up getting deep in 2 tournaments on Bovada, the $22 turbo SS, and the $16.50 10k chips turbo. I barely made ITM and fought a shortstack in the $22 from 27 down, I ended up barely making ITM with 4bb. I got down to as low as 2bb at one point and still managed to get a few steals through, never being at risk. With 16 left, I got a critical triple up winning 88>AK,AQ. I crawled to the FT as the shortstack, barely making it with 8bb and being 8th in chips.

One person dropped, and then I got dealt AA in the BB on 7bb, a dream spot, the SB shoved a similar stack and flipped QT, flop came 266 rainbow and the SB was pretty much dead, we held

2 more dropped, and 6-handed, the HJ minraised a 20bb stack, the BU rejammed 7bb, I had QQ in the BB on 16bb and reshoved, the BU tank folded, SB showed JT and we held to move into 2/5.

We were 4-handed not to long after, and it took awhile, there wasn't a single allin and a call until I got dealt JJ in the BB on 10bb, UTG minraised a 17bb stack, the BU tanked, and then jammed 17bb eff, at this point, I barely had a chip advantage being 3rd in chips and had the shortstack covered by just 1bb. Because the BU tanked, I pretty much concluded he never has QQ+, and more likely AQ/AJ or a mid PP. I called, UTG folded, and got shown AQ. the flop rolled out Q99 and I facepalmed, the turn came an 8, hope!


......The river came an 8 I busted 4th for a $407 cash, sucks to know if I win that flip, I'm chipleader and without a doubt, make it HU.

Simultaneously, I was at the FT of the Bovada $16.50 10k chips turbo, I came into the FT 2/9, although stacks were very even. A few people dropped, and I got a few shoves through in the process.

7-handed, I got a spot dealt AKs in the SB on 9bb, the HJ open shoved 12bb, the BU overcalled 5bb, I tanked and sigh called knowing I didn't have much of a choice, the HJ showed KJdd and the BU pocket 5s, the flop rolled out K74dd for a sweat, the turn brough the 8c, I held my breath, to see a 9s river, and moved into 2nd in chips with 6 remaining! I fell behind a bit losing to the blinds and then losing 99<AK for 1/3rd my stack. 4-handed with 10bb on the button sitting 3/4, I elected to shove A3o on the button, a pretty standard GII spot, and the BB snapped off TT, ****! The flop came 995, and I had little hope, until the A spiked on the turn! > a 3 rivered and I was back in it. The next hand, karma prevailed, and I lost a small pot JJ<Q5, and then lost some more chips to the blinds.

4-handed went on for awhile likewise the $22 turbo, I became shorter and shorter stacked, and then someone went out Q8<A8, leaving me 3-handed with 10bbs against two 20bb stacks. The very next hand, I had 33 in the BB, the SB open shoved. I figured I'm going to be slightly ahead here most of the time, and ICM doesn't really affect me because I'm so short compared to the other two stacks, I called, and got shown J9 and held, whew!

3-handed went by fast, I had AQ in the SB, the BU jammed ~11bb, I reshoved and got shown K9, the board ran clean and I was HU with a 2:1 cl. HU lasted fairly shortly, with me breaking down my opponent and gaining a 3 to 1 chip advantage before getting QJ on the button, I open shoved 12bb eff and got snapped by 99. The flop rolled out K66 and I had little hope, a 10 hit the turn, giving me a lot more outs and hope, the river brought the magic 9 giving me a straight and the win!





Two much needed scores to get my confidence and motivation going in the right direction. Off day from poker tomorrow unless I reallyyyyy get an urge to play.

Trent

First of all goodluck with your 15k goal...Im sure you will get there.

FWIW, I agree with what you say about a big score early in your poker career. I spiked a 3rd for 70k on Stars and it was difficult to go back to grinding at low/mid stakes on stars and full tilt. Had I went and started playing high stakes I would of lost it all. There is a time and a place to move up but it should not be deicded neccessarly by $ won over a short period rather volume and $ won over a large sampling.

If I could offer any advice as a fellow player who has set goals like this before I would suggest the following:

1. Learn to play mix games well....If you can pick these up quick, you will almost certainly have an edge over a majority of players that play these. There have been years that i have made more playing mixed games than Holdem.

2. Don't analyze things too much...I can tell from your post you have a strong understanding of the game. Dont get discouraged when you do everything right and lose 60/40's all session long. As long as you have a plan and reason for every move you make IMO it is justifiable.

I just started on Carbon this year so most of my volume has been on Bovada/Carbon/America's so Im sure Ill see you at the tables...Good luck

Cheers for the advice and post TRETIAK, I believe we have played a bit on Merge, particularly in the latter night games.

In what tourney did you cash for 70k in pre BF? Those were the good ole days when you could actually play for large prize pools and in a wide selection of MTTs on stars and FTP. Nowadays the top prize in most tourneys on these US sites is 25-30k and those tourneys just run once a week Makes me wish I didn't suck in 2009-2010 lol.

I actually have a friend in Australia who plays mixed and draw games on stars/FTP and does really really well. I agree that they can be highly profitable and are up and coming in the poker world. It sucks that there's almost no action in mixed games on these US sites unforunately, and just a couple mixed and draw MTTs.

Have been playing in the morning in the past week, which unforunately means smaller field sizes and pretty much all regular speed MTTs. The variance in my schedule dropped completely compared to when I was firing 30+ MTTs in a session with all being turbos/hypers other than a few. The fields in the morning are soft as can be aswell, so I do not mind it. The only struggle being adjusting to playing a lot of regular speed MTTs, as my strength is short/rejams stack play along with ICM.

Not many notable results other than a couple $100-$150 cashes. I also have a $55 ticket on Bovada along with a $215 Big Ticket Coupon on Carbon which I will use in the coming weeks.

Very happy with my month after coming off a losing April, June will be the month I will focus on going harder with volume.

Thanks for reading!

Trent

Got lucky and spiked a 5th place or maybe it was 6th in a big $215 tourny....it was pre blackfri...back in 2010

Other than taking down a Sunday guarantee on bovadA I've had nothing else close to that online

Good luck with your challenge

Stay outta my morning games!

Pretty meh week for me. Nothing really notable other than a 2nd place finish in the Carbon $5.50 hyper yesterday and shipped it today for $230! I ran like pure **** in my Saturday session before taking down the hyper, it is amazing how 1 tourney can completely change up how your session went!

Back to the grind on Monday and may throw in a few tourneys tomorrow night. I feel like I am starting to get more undisciplined and spewy again, however that is something I am going to work on not doing and taking lower variance approaches to each situation.



Thank you for reading.

Trent

Played three $11 turbos and a $55 turbo with a ticket on Bovada today. Bricked all four and ran pretty ****ty. Can't really complain as the variance over four turbo MTTs with 400-1k player fields is pretty much the same as 6max hyper SNGs. Planning on playing a full session tomorrow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y74UPiaK7u0 <<< Good song and I was a fan of Madcon yearsssss ago.

Too tired to post a long update, so here it goes.

I got destroyed in the early-middle of my Monday session, running pretty bad, but wasn't playing bad, and didn't feel like I was. Was losing pretty much every important hand with people getting there left and right on me. I was down a couple hundred or so with just a few tables remaining.

I then, thankfully in two of my latter session tourneys, went deep and made the final table of both while undeniably running like GOD, a complete turnaround from the earlier stages of my session.

Took 3rd in the Black Chip $11 Mega Stack Turbo for $189 and 2nd in the Bovada $33 turbo for an $861 cash. I had a 6th place finish in the Carbon $5.50 deep turbo aswell, however just for a baby cash with the field being 99 players.

#Receipts





Thanks for reading,

Trent

Thats the beauty of this thing we are in....it only takes one good one to make the session worthwhile

Nice bink on the Bovada tourney

Thank you sir That is definitely something that can only happen when you play MTTs!

Congrats to you aswell on 2nd in the $109 turbo yesterday on Carbon.

Update:
****ty Sunday obv, midweek went really really solid though. Bricked the Carbon $215 and $33 despite having decent stacks in both and went 0/3 on flips en route to a brick in the Bovada $55 turbo aswell, didn't play very high volume and only had 1 mincash on the day in an $11 turbo. The good news is I spent a total of $11 to play the $33, $215, and $55 tournaments as I won sats to the 33/55 and got a free ticket to the $215 for winning a private game.

Will post a more detailed update tomorrow, it's 3:30am here and I'm exhausted!
