MsuDU19's First Post

Well i have a lot to post about so this might be a long one. Started off with 1K bankroll about 3 weeks ago on AP. Ill recap about the older stuff but hopefully ill be posting daily blogs about tournies and hand histories and tourney recaps and stuff.

11.13.06
$1K guaranteed- 1st for $381.06
$5r - 1st for $522.06

11.17.06
$5r - 1st for $464.10

11.22.06
$9K guaranteed - 1st for $3057.60
Homeboy had a 3:1 chip lead on me when it got down to heads up...and well you see the results.

11.27.06
WSOP Main Event Qualifier - 4th for $528.00
This tourney was an up and down tourney where i had A 10 lose to A 8 deep in the tourney for a big pot. That pot put me to a short stack and ended up pushing a few marginal hands and ended up being dominated 3 times but was lucky for a suckout each time. I cant necessarily say i deserved the suckouts but i kinda felt they were justification for the 1st one. Anyways with 13 left i start pushing and pushign and chipping up from stealing blinds and end up the chip leader when we hit the Final Table. So we make it to 4 handed and im 2nd in chips and the kick in the dick happens. I pick up KK under the gun and make a 4x raise. The short stack big blind goes all in. Well obv. i call and he shows A 8 and wouldnt you know it flop comes A high and i lose 3/4 of my stack. Now i cant say that i deserved to win that pot after my big suckouts BUT it still feels like someone kicked me in the nuts as i would of been a huge chip leader with 3 left and quite possibly woulda came home with an $11K WSOP 2007 seat. Either way i came in 4th and chalk up my first bubble.

Anyways results as of today...any variances include cash game wins/losses and tourney buy ins.

Initial Bankroll: $1000.00
Bankroll as of today: $4927.23

Ok $5r is starting time to go...Good luck to me and pimp.

Downswing,Upswing and a Win

So on Thanksgiving i won the $ 3 rebuy for $ 630 once we got down to 5 handed at the final table i raised just about every other hand, these morons were waiting for premium hands while i just kep taking down the blinds, soon i had 800 k to the other 3 players 100k, needless to say soon i knocked 2 out in the same hand, then when we got heads up i doubled on guy up 2 times in a row when this hand happened, i raise with 2's in the sb he reraises all in, i put him on ak aq and at this point ill take a coinflip. indeed he had aq, flopped his q but i turned my 2 and Bam i win. Last night i came in 3rd in the 1.5k PL Omaha H/L and i came in 4th in the 6k guaranteed for $500. I hope that i continue to pay well, the thing is im only playing well 1 day a week, if i can increase it to 2-3 days a week my BR will continue to swell.

Current Bankroll:$2,800

4 Final Tables in One Night

Last night was the most amazing poker ive ever played, ive never made more than 2 final tables in one night. Last night i won the 10 dollar rebuy for 611 bucks, i got heads up in the 5 dollar rebuy and got suckedout on hardcore by some guys donkeyshot but still $400 i think maybe more. Then i made the final table in the 5 dollar rebuy for the 2nd time, this time i was several short stacked and tried stealing the BB from the SB with Q8 suited, BB woke up with QQ and GG me. Then for my finale i made the final table for the $25 5k guaranteed that AP has nightly, i was about 6th in chips entering the final table. Then when we got down to 3 i had a huge chip lead. The moron that had been playing so tight,won a coinflip on me and that was pretty much it for my tournament because once i lost that i pretty much tilted it away. So i came in 3rd for $580 which isnt that bad at all. For some reason poker game so easily last night, im going to try and maybe go more in depth about key hands i played.

Bankroll:$2,600
Bonus left to clear:$235

Some Progress

So playing 3/6 i worked myself into a 250 dollar hole already im playing well but its hard to dodge these morons most of the time sooo i might give up on 3/6 for a while till i can build my roll to where i can lose a couple buyins and it not effect me so much. So i started playing $ 20 sng's i won like 3 in a day so it helped get me back up but i was still 100 in the hole. So last night i played in the $ 3 rebuy and took some horrid beats and the funny things is i didnt get many hands worth playing. I realized that there may be more to position poker than i possibly thought i stole alot of pots with agression on the flop and raising on the button with marginal hands. Next thing i know im already in the money, from 18 players on a short stack ninja status my way to the Final Table , i played my ass off for 6 hours so there was no way i was going down without a fight. A couple people fell out and i was 7/7 in chips when i doubled up a couple times and shot up to 4th in chips. From there i waited till 2 more went out and i found AJ off in the BB the SB on a obv. steal insta pushed all in when it folded to him 5 handed i cant fold aj to his obv steal at worst its a coin flip, he has a3 and flops 335 so i get down to like 70k in chips the blinds are 30/60k next hand the utg and bb get into it and a guy goes out and makes me an extra $ 100 which was nice for the bankroll. I busted 4th for $ 420.

It Starts

Well hopefully K-Rod will post his some blog updates here, since i really dont feel like buying the domain name yet... but maybe he'll have time.Anyways both of us have started with limited bankrolls and are trying to build it up to a significant amount i'll use this blog to discuss big hands, final tables i've reached and how i'm building my bankroll from day to day.Hopefully he will join in on this too, cause it's always more fun when you have someone doing it with you.

Jason's Intial Bankroll:1,000
Pending Bonus Dollars to clear:285

the first was i plan on attacking and building my bankroll is playing 3/6 limit and clearing bonus, i know 1k isnt alot to be playing 3/6 it's roughly 9-10 buyins. But with prior experience at 3/6 i know it is attainable to think i can make signifcant progress in building my bankroll.Long term goal is to get to 2k by the end of November. I'll post everyday that i play.
