Where I've Been / Where I'm Going (in re: poker)

from jurollo. 18 September 2009, 12:12.

Hey guys,
Been a while since I've been on here so I thought I'd check in.  Really since the summer in Vegas I haven't been able to truly buckle down and grind like I should have and the fact that I haven't been playing well hasn't exactly helped the motivation to sit and grind out a high volume of tournaments.

Joe Udine is a Legend!

from jurollo. 11 August 2009, 11:11.

One of my good friends in poker, Hoodini10, took down the $1k FTOPS the other night for about $300k.  It's Joe's 2nd FTOPS win, he's basically a god.  Congrats!

The times I love having a blog

from jurollo. 6 August 2009, 17:17.

Are when I get sucked out on and can come here, post and whine.  Pity me readers.  PITY ME!  Haha.  For 30% of the chips in play 11 handed in the Stars afternoon rebuy.  Such is tournaments. Playing well lately though and I just cant help but feel like something big is going to happen soon for me.  I recorded the end of this 100r so the whole video will be up next week.  Overall the video just shows how to get AA and KK like 4x and have them hold every time but the biggest one.  Talk soon, when I have some good news, likely after I win an FTOPS this Sunday.

A free idea for online poker sites for an awesome new feature

from jurollo. 3 August 2009, 20:20.

So my consulting days are over for the most part over within the online poker industry so this is a freebie for any site that wants to make it happen.  It wouldn't be a life changing thing, but it would be a very cool feature that would lead to players spending countless hours making and deploying their own tournaments, while paying rake the entire time.

This is why tournaments are dumb

from jurollo. 20 July 2009, 18:18.

Assclowns like this can make a terrible play, get there and then you can never play in the same situation with them again...

WSOP ME: Day 2

from jurollo. 9 July 2009, 16:16.

I started day 2 with 36k in chips after spewing off half my 67k stack to end day 1 and moved to a new table really quickly into day 2. The average age was likely late 40s aside from Badbeatslyer from online who played extremely well but was shortstacked most of the day. Once I sat I instantly started raising and c-betting with a lot of success and built my stack up to around 55-60k with no problem. Then my 1st big hand of the day came.

UB $1k / Aruba

from jurollo. 2 July 2009, 13:13.

Ub loves me. I finally snapped out of my rut the last two days with a final table of the Stars $150 where I got 6th and a win in an Aruba sat on UB. These were just the appetizers though as I took down the UB 1k for the 2nd time since April for about $40k. Nice to get out of this downswing before the main event. I might have been pressing a bit lately and played more patiently the last few days, and ran well when it counted. In fact, I ran white hot for a small portion of the UB 1k and played extremely disciplined at the FT.

Vegas Update

from jurollo. 11 June 2009, 17:17.

So I am about a week and a half into my Vegas journey this summer and am somehow up money so far. I have 2 cashes so far in the series, 39th in the $1000 and 44th in the $2500. I will go over some hands later on as I just typed one out and hit the wrong button here. As you've noticed I havent been making videos while I've been here and will likely not be able to make much while in Vegas but I will try to get something out. I might play this Saturday but plan on going out in Vegas a few nights this weekend, however, next week should be fun with two $2000s.

Vegasssssss!

from jurollo. 28 May 2009, 20:20.

Heading out tomorrow morning for Vegas and will likely be playing in the $1k donkfest on Saturday. Really looking forward to this summer even though I am going in on a huge online downswing. I think I am ready for the grind that the WSOP is as well as having some fun with my summer friends, whom I've now lived with for 3 summers in a row. I expect some ridiculous nights out at clubs and casinos (although I have a 5k prop bet about not playing a table game this summer with my roommate Klod) and lots of high stakes beer pong / the introduction of high stakes cornhole.

Seems like the right time for one of these

from jurollo. 11 May 2009, 23:23.

If you read poker blogs I'm sure you've read about 100 of these posts, maybe even one by me before. But I'm at that point that all MTT players get to where I start re-evaluating my life in general due to a downswing I've gone on. I did just win the UB 1k not too too long ago so this isn't totally about always losing, because thats not the case but more so me trying to figure out if:

A) I still really love playing full time
B) I can continue to try to claw my way through MTTs full time
C) I'm just burned out and need some time off
