September... feeling good looking better

Hey guys,

I have had some very good results lately and am very impressed where my game is going. I have final table 3 MMT’s over the past month and have profited over $800 this month playing. This brings my total profit to over $2000 for the year with over $7,150 in prizes.

 I fell to some pretty bad beats one in 3^rd  on my fav $16.50 turbo MMT when I got in it with Q6 on a 6 5 3 board against my opponents 10 6 only for him to spike the 10 on the turn. I also came 5^th in a 6 max $8 for a nice pay day by was extremely disappointed when my KK was crushed by my opp’s A9 when we got it in pre-flop and he spiked the 3 outer. I believe that this game was probably my most strongest overall performance throughout the entire tournament, where I did not give my opponents an inch.

I had a loosing day on Friday which was unfortunate, and I played the BIG $55 only to turn the nut straight with 10♠ 8♠ when my opp called my all in for 4k with A 7, on a 9♣ A♠ 6♠ 7♣, board only to spike the only 7 in the deck that could help him, the 7♦ to fill up to knock me out, I would have been looking pretty as one of the chip leaders at that point.

 I have had a few SNG wins and final threes to go with these good results. I have also landed a deep run in a $3.30+ PLO tournament which I was pretty happy about as I would love to improve my game here as I find PLO becoming ever more popular with loose players. 

I have an ITM of 16% which I am still trying to push to 20% by the end of the year and I want to make a realist goal of clearing $5000 worth of profit by then too.

Here are my results for September thus far:

Looking forward to the monthly re-cap...

Let kick start this shit!

Whats up guys, 

Its been a long time between drinks/blogging. I had a bit of an up and down couple of months. No good results at the Sydney Champs which was pretty up setting but I’ve made a couple of final tables online. I’ve been playing in the standard daily $11, $16.5 turbo, $3+re-buy and have had some interesting results. My by far best result was a couple of days ago where I came 3^rd for $959. Copped a bad beat to get eliminated where I had a my opponent crushed 3 handed where we got it all in on 6 5 3 board, hold Q6>610. For a 10 to turn up on the turn to gg me out.

I also brinked out in a same tournament a week before in 8^th  with K♠Q♠ only  to be called by AJ, and the board to brick out.

I’m very happy with how I have been playing lately, since my coaching session with Watto my game has improved 10 fold. I played a lot yesterday but did not cash once, which was pretty disappointing. So for the year online I have made $1800 profit, not anything that I can retire on just yet but still it is some positive EV, which is good.

I’ll be looking to boost my ITM finishes from 15% to 20% over the 6months, and concentrating on some solid bankroll management. But this 900 is going to do me good, put some money on the loan and keep 400 in my bank and leave the rest on there, I slowly donked off around $80 yesterday with some unfortunate beats.

On the other side of things, I’ve finished Devilfish’s auto biography, and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Both were great reads that were slow to get starting but amazing from the middle onwards. I’ve also finished Game of Thrones season 1 and can’t wait for season two. But what I am really hoping for is Breaking Bad season 4 to finish so I can take a day off work and just watch the whole thing!

Good luck on the tables,

SS
