Started my night off playing absolutely terrible and was basically instantly out of almost all of my tournaments. I still had the 100k up from Stars so I tried to play seriously and well and ended up getting deep in it again. My stats in that tournament have been absolutely sick since February of '08 as I have cashed 9 times out of 21 and FT'd it twice, but those are a 9th and a 5th tonight. I recorded the last 2 hours or so live with commentary so those should go up soon. I ended up getting KO'd on this hand: PokerStars Game #16085934980: Tournament #80983920, $150+$12 Hold'em No Limit - Level XXIII (7500/15000) - 2008/03/19 - 03:13:01 (ET) I was "meh" about it to begin with as I played 2 hands at the whole FT before this (about 50 hands) and figured Beldar would give me a lot of credit on my open so I don't know about it. He was raising a ton so I guess its ok, just sucks to run into AA, even against KK I have some hope. Anyhoo, while I was playing the 100k I fired up a Step 5 for the WSOP, won it then fired up a Step 6 and got 3 handed when I lost JJ < KQs for like 20k with 27k in place, I likely go on to win seat #2 if I win that hand but thats variance, still profited a little on it. I will likely play some more steps here and there and see what happens with them. Not including the $800 or so profit from steps I played 14 tournaments and cashed 1 today, eeek. I was playing like absolute trash early so its ok. I still ended up +$4k with the 5th so its more positive movement for me. Since Sunday I am +$13,615 and change which takes a decent chunk out of the 40k or so downswing I was on. Still need to keep playing well and plucking away at this. As far as my game goes, I think I have plugged up a few leaks here and there and will be looking forward to seeing how my game feels tomorrow and Sunday. I am planning on actually setting aside 1.5 hours for narrating he FT of the Super Tuesday so I might end up pushing the admins to have a "Jurollo Avalanche" one day with the FT of Super Tuesday, part 3 of the 6max $100r and the 2 parts of tonight's 100k. Another thing I have been trying to focus on is only playing MTTs I think I have an edge in. After using Tourney Trax for the past couple weeks I was realizing that I am just not able to play Rebuys profitably for a few reasons so I am cutting them out of my schedule for the most part. I will play the 6max $100r on Wednesdays, and maybe a $100r or two on Sundays but thats about it. The reasons why they have become so bad for me are pretty diverse. The main reason is I don't slow down enough in the rebuy period, at any buyin level, I am so used to maniacing that its just become -EV for me to really play at all because I just do it without thinking. The 100r's most days of the week are tough enough anyway and the 22r I usually only play to fill screen space then just push allin till I bust when I am done with everything else so I am going to start just skipping it. But anyway. Thats all for now, I will be back with another update after tomorrow night, then taking 3 days off (I think) before Sunday. |
