I loaded cash into Pokerstars. First time in 2+years. I guess their 100% deposit match campaign works.
I played a little 25maxNL, went up and then went down. Finished down $10 after 2 hours and had 8 frequent player points. Only 1,902 points to go. Broken down by hours at the 25max NL level, that should only be another 475 hours or 20 straight days of playing. Or since I only play about 10 hours a week, I should hit my bonus in April 2009. . . I guess I could step up a level or two to quicken my points. <---Is that proper English? Quicken? Oh well.
I didn't cash in anything I played last night. I had Toppairitis. You know: You raise with AQ and get one caller. Flop comes AJ4. You C-bet. Villian comes over you all in and you know he has to be on a draw. You call and he flips over AJ. I hate overplaying Top Pair, but then again, it sucks to try to control the pot size and then someone catches their river card on you and takes you out. I did that once last night with top pair. I let my opponent stay in by not betting enough and he hit his flush on the river with 36soooooted in his hand. PUKE!
Glad it's Friday. Playing live poker tomorrow night. It's a tournament I really should own. I know almost all the players and their playing style. But we shall see.
On the work front, I just completed my first full month with the new Branch. I am hiring two more people Monday and then another in a week. I will have 8 total people under me. The only relevance to why I am putting it down here is that I will have less time to post and read at work.
Hope the tables are treating you right.
Check out these websites. They run goot! Lucko - OhCaptain - Riggstad - Katiemother

It's the same 'ol story, same 'ol song and dance, my friend
Played in the MATH last night. This was my first blogger tournament since 2007. Wow! 2 1/2 months I took off. I take that back. I think I did play in one bodonkament of Smokkee's.
Anyway. I played very well, I thought. I did suck out at least once and I won my coin flips -which is critical to going deep in any of these blogger tournaments. I was reading when the table was tight and when it was loose and playing back at it accordingly. I even laid down AQ with a Q high flop that turned a J to a big raise from GCOX. Maybe I gave him too much credit, but he said he had trip Jacks (as I assumed he did). Some well timed aggression along with some luck and I managed to grab the chip lead with around 24 players left (of the original 70something). I had been playing aggressive and won a couple of coin flips when the next hand came and kicked the wind out of me.
Tripjax was sitting to my immediate right and had come to my table the chip leader. I don't remember exactly how, but he had lost about 3/4 of his stack (a good chunk to me). I was sitting around 20K in chips and he was around 12K. I had just won a coin flip and had been buying blinds aggressively. He raised my blind and I came over the top of him with QQ. Now, I didn't shove but I bet enough to make him uncomfortable to call with a bluff. Conversely, I bet little enough to look like I just might be on a re-steal. I wanted his call. He came over me all in.
Now I'm thinking for a second here. Did I just walk into AA or KK? I don't think so. Trip is the kind of player that does not like to be pushed around. Especially by someone trying to bully the table and someone who stung him for a nice sized pot earlier. I put him on A10, AJ, maybe even KQ. And I know if I call him here, it is another coin flip as surely he has an overcard to my Queens. I feel he is making a stand and I must push him down. And if I do, I take a very nice chip lead in the tournament.
I call his all in and he tables A8. Nice. Pretty much what I thought. Except he doesn't have the straight draws I thought might have been there. "Dodge an Ace. Dodge an Ace." And the flop comes: Axx. Sprinkle an 8 and another Ace on the river just for good measure and my Queens are rolled over and spanked by the full house. That was the turning point for me as I couldn't quite gain ground afterwards.
Here's where the same 'ol story comes in. I am sitting around 8th with 14 left and an M of about 13. So I am not super short stacked but starting to feel pressure. We are 4 from the bubble, again, the hardest part of my game to play in. An aggressive player raises my BB and I attempt a resteal semi bluff with Ace high. Busted! He calls and I go home 14th. My point here is that the 2 cards I had were irrelevant, the position I was in was. Getting close to the bubble, I tried to steal assuming everyone was going to be super tight.
I just said yesterday that I need to slow down near the bubble and get to the money. My aggressive style will take me to the top 20% of the field, but it is so hard to slow down when I get near the bubble. Of course, if I win that flip against Trip, it would be hard for me to imagine I don't final table this tournament.
Oh well. It was fun getting back into the blogger games. I plan to start playing Mondays and Wednesdays for the remainder of the BBT3. Hope to see you there.
Stay patient (especially near the bubble)...

More self evaluation
I really need to keep self evaluating. I've been trying to play more by position than by the cards. I'm also learning to throw away more hands. For example, I'm holding JJ on the button and EP player raises, MP re-raises all in, I fold. EP shows AJ and MP shows A9 and the AJhigh wins it. But I don't mind. A few hands later I'm in the cutoff with JJ and get two limpers ahead of me, I shove and get one caller with AQ. I believe this is what they call fold equity? I'm not really sure as I haven't studied that yet. My Jacks held up. But more importantly, I'm learning to play less hands out of position.
I've folded a lot of AQ and even some AK's lately. It's helped as I have come off the big slide I had (look at the graph below), but I still have a lot of work to do to get back to the positive. I've cashed in 4 of the last 8 tournaments played in, and that is definitely good.
I don't want to say that I've tightened up completely, but I have when in early and middle positions. That has definitely helped keep me out of hands where TPWK gets killed.
Anyway, here are my stats from Sharkscope:
There was a huge slide down from around +150$ to -200$ that was mostly due to me trying to get cute and play $20 and $30 buyins. And don't get me wrong, I was playing horrible poker too at all the levels.
I think I can get back to positive by staying with my "Position-Playing" and by staying with the $5 and under limits. Once I can get back into the positive, I will start moving up levels. Although I feel like I can crack the $10 KO tourneys, but haven't succeeded in that yet...
Oh, and don't forget about the BBT3. I should be settled in my house enough to get into it starting next week. You gotta be playing in these events, if you are not yet...
And if you are an animal lover or you just want to play poker with a bunch of the Full Tilt Pros, go to Riggstad's blog and check out how to play in Jen Harmon's Private tournament on Sunday night.
I hope you are doing well at the tables.
Stay patient...

Another final table in the Mookie
I final tabled the Mookie. It was my 6th final table in 16 tries but still no win. Gotta keep working to get the profile. I was doing pretty well last night when I ran AQ all in pre-flop to the mighty A10. The 10 beat me with a straight filling in on the river and I lost half my stack. No worries, though as the very next hand was QQ and my all in was called by AA. Those beeeetches have not been very nice to me lately. Better luck next time.
I felt I played a very solid game last night, without a single suckout. That's right, not one. I was ahead going in to every race. And they all held up, until the final two hands. I guess it was just my lucky night -until I went out. Oh well.
Congratulations to RecessRampage for taking it down! Only a few TOC spots left and he got one last night. Click on his name to check out how he did it.
I am meeting with a real estate agent tonight about putting my house up for sale. Hawkette set up the meeting with no regard to the Riverchasers tournament. ; ) Just kidding. She is so cool about my poker that I could tell her to deal with the agent on her own and let me play, and she would. But I will be attending that meeting, so GL to everyone tonight.

Thursday night riverchasers and some cash hands
First of all, Congratulations to everyone who made money in the Riverchasers last night. I donked out early on Top Pair with Flush Draw. Not a very intimidating hand, so it wasn't a surprise that my opponent took me out with two pair. I had a few beers and amazingly, my hands have higher winning percentages and thousands more outs when I'm drinking (at least in my mind they do). Check out Kajagugu and his 5th final table. Congrats! And congrats to XxMagiciaNxX. Thanks to him we now have 1 less player in the TOC since he won for the 2nd time. Woo Hoo.
