My New Plan

Well November turned out to be a pretty good month. One of my most exciting and stressful months of poker in a while. Massive swings, huge sessions and days I wanted to cry myself to sleep. Overall I'm up about 3.5k in everything this month, with most of my profits coming from HU PLO. I dropped about $600 buying shares of people for the month (not one person turned a profit for me) but also got my foot in the door getting staked myself. I have been able to play a lot of the bigger tourneys that I was under rolled for before by selling some of my action.

FTOPS was disappointing, not a single cash. But was able to get some semi deep runs in Sunday Majors this month, but nothing really worth noting on the tourney front.

I've been trying to figure out my plan for next month and have come up with an idea of what I want to be doing.

Here's my two option
1) Deticate all of my time to HU PLO
- Probably my most profitable game
- Very swingy and stressful
2) Split my time between HU PLO and MTTS
- MTTs have been BE for me as of late
- Being able to play MTTs will make some days less stressful and also I can get staked for some of my tourneys to decrease varience

I decided to go with option #2. I feel if I played strictly PLO I would have the ability to make much more money but with Mini FTOPS coming up and my growing ability to get staked for the majority of my tourneys I play I have decided that splitting my action for now will be best.

So I'm ready to go. Thankgiving was a nice break but I wanna get back to the pokers. I have a fun touney schedule picked out for this evening. So hopefully I can bink one off, sooner rather than later.

Weekend Pokers

Well I'm posting again from work so I don't have any graphs to put up but let me tell you it was one hell of a weekend. I'm pretty sure I'm down a good chunk of money but I haven't had the time to actually sit down and think about where I'm at bankroll wise. Let me just say that PLO HU Deep is a hell of a game.

I had my second 2k downswing in PLO this month. OMG its such an aggravating game. I guess I'm just not used to the swings but they are brutal. It's not so much me flipping bad its just getting into brutal spots or running terrible in 3bet/4bet pots. I feel like my game is pretty solid and I'll be able to work my way out of the hole once again.

I'm still up on the month but it just so annoying when you pull yourself back out of a downswing. Just breakeven, then dump in the next couple session.

Also I've been playing a lot of the weekend tourneys lately. Got a couple deep finishes this Sunday but they were basically just teasers barely breaking even on tourneys for the weekend. I'm just glad I was able to get my backers some money back after getting crushed in the first 4/5 tourneys I was backed for this weekend.

Here's by bust out hand in the 750k for 119th
Also busted AT v 22 for 100ish in the 150k ($163) on FTP

Also if anyone is interested I'm selling pieces of Mini FTOPS on 2p2. Check out this link if your interested or you can AIM me at SeanN042: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/135/staking/miniftops-15-event-package-640420/

Tourneys

After Playing a bunch of the FTOPS tourneys I got the urge to grind out MTTs for a little bit (or a least try to fit a couple into my schedule). I played the following little baby tourneys yesterday to so I could help get the feel for MTTs once again:

18:00 $26 NLHE 27,500gar
18:10 $44 Sat to 75k
18:15 $26 HA PLHE 5k gar
18:25 $26 sat to Sunday Brawl
18:30 $26 NLHE HU 4k gar
18:35 $5.5 NLHE Rebuy ($45 total with rebuys)
19:40 $26 Sat to the 750k
20:00 $26 NLHE 35k gar
21:00 $12 Daily Double A
21:02 $12 Daily Double B
21:15 $26 PLO 5k gar

Here's a couple cool hands/or busto hands from the tourneys:

Busto 5 Re - http://weaktight.com/1709571
- Good Call, Bad Result

I seriously accidently misclicked this one. It was so perfect (note, did not ship pot) http://weaktight.com/1709574

Hand against solid reg in the 35k. Leveled myself into calling the river http://weaktight.com/1709577]

I cashed both daily doubles for:
Daily Double B - 131 of 1200

Daily Double A - 25 of 1400+

Stayed up later than I wanted to and didn't make any money....fucking poker.

Blog Update

Hello everyone,

I haven't been able to update my blog at all lately just because of lack of time. I've been working a "free" internship 30-40 hours a week along while playing poker almost every day to pay my bills and maintain my lifestyle. Basically I will be graduating from college finally this December so I'm going to finally have that monkey of my chest and can move on to bigger and better things.

I've been playing a lot of poker later. I'll post a graph when I get home. Basically I've been running decent. I'm really not going to complain about anything. I've been playing a bit of everything CAP NLHE, 6 max NLHE, HU NLHE and most recently HE PLO. I'm up quite a bit but not really what I'm accustomed because i've been playing lower stakes and haven't been able to put in my usual volume.

I also got a couple stakes for the FTOPS recently which I blanked on :-( Just ran terrible. Busted out of all my tournies rather quickly and didn't come close to the money in anything. Although I did manage to eek out 2/3 FTOPS ME sat wins so that was nice.

So I guess that's that. I'll try to keep this blog updated once or twice a week.
