New car

Slightly off topic but thought i'd post as im a bit tired and dont want to play at the moment. I bought my first car today, its a Citroen Saxo VTR 1.6 injection. Not too bad for my first car and i will be doing it up a little bit, a new exhaust and a nice sound system i think will come first. I'll defintely post some pics on here once i take some.

So i spent today waking up at 9am after having about 3 hours of sleep, to have a look at the car which a guy brought around to my house, i loved it as soon as i saw it and snapped it up. I then proceeded to have my driving lesson @ 11:30, which is going fine by the way and im fairly confident i can pass when i have my main test, which is on the 21st April. After my driving lesson i washed and waxed the car as it was a little dirty, and furry inside, which is hoovered also, and it looks new, and it really does look nice.

On a poker note i've had a pretty bad run the last 2 days, seems i caught the variance master on a bad day and had some pretty horrible sessions, which i went down over a 1000$, but im happy to say i recovered that loss in a sick session tonight which feels good to sit here in profit for the week :)

Sooooo, new car pics incoming soon, and expect a March result post, including screenies/graphs of my march results.

500 $20+2's played.

Just thought i'd keep up the recent run of posts by just posting some random crap while im bored(eating and just finished a session)
I noticed i've played just over 500 games now at the 20s on ipoker, and thought i'd share the results and how they're going.

As you can see im running fairly well result wise, with a 23% ROI you cant complain. These are a mix of regular + turbo games, but mainly turbo games. Im steering away from the 20s unless i play late at night where the 50$+ games have low traffic where i'll load up a few 20s to keep the volume up.
anyway :] ill update again soon, with end of month results/profit etc, which hopefully i can keep dwindling up the profit ladder :)

Reaching the leaderboards.

Just thought i'd pop on to share with you that i've reached the top20 profit for 36-100$ 9-10 man SNG's leaderboard on www.sharkscope.com
I hope this is the start of something and not the peak, i hope i can continue all this success and keep improving my game and my profit :)

Beats and Brags

Hey, thought i'd post something as im waiting for my food, think i've played around 250 this week and i havent been here everyday so its not too bad. I've had my ups and downs, but im currently in about 1500$ profit since last week which isnt bad considering that i've not been running too well showdown wise. I'd like to share a hand which i thought was a little sick, but again, i took it pretty well and with it being a 100$ game i think i kept my cool which i really think im getting good at, im losing less when im losing, which is really adds profit if you can apply it to your game by playing your best even when you've lost 9 out of the last 10 KK vs underpair/undercard showdowns( im not whining.. ;) ), it was really fascinating to see that after a 3 hour session losing 6 pairs of kings all in preflop as a 4 to 1 favourite, and various other runner runners, that i finished 70$ up, which is really sick, if i had let it get to me early on, i've no doubt i would've been down at least 300-400$ that session, so im really pleased out how well im playing when im losing.
anyway heres the hand: 100$, 10 man, Level 3, as usual i have my standard table image and villains range should be TT+ here minimum.. ofc he is -40% roi over a decent sample on sharkscope, so i kinda put him on a bigger range, anyway:

iPoker Network No-Limit Tourney, Big Blind is t60.00 (9 handed)

Button (t1190.00)
SB (t2360.00)
BB (t1380.00)
UTG (t1690.00)
UTG+1 (t1400.00)
MP1 (t1180.00)
MP2 (t410.00)
MP3 (t3360.00)
Hero (t2030.00)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[club], Q[heart].
UTG calls t60, 3 folds, MP3 calls t60, Hero raises to t300, 3 folds, UTG folds, MP3 calls t240.

Flop:(t750) 3[diamond], Q[diamond], J[heart] (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero bets t540, MP3 calls t540.

Turn: (t1830) J[club] (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero bets t540, MP3 bets t2520 (All-In), Hero bets t1190 (All-In).

River: (t5540) J[spade] (2 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: t5540

Results:
MP3 has 4d Jd (four of a kind, jacks).
Hero has Qc Qh (full house, queens full of jacks).
Outcome: MP3 wins t5540.

ah well, least it will keep him playing ;)
Will post more soon, i might even post some graphs from sharkscope, not just the main ones but other interesting ones. byebye.

Mid March Update.

yoyo, so thought i'd post like i said i would during march about my progress now i've switched back to 10 mans. It is going well to be quite honest, and though personally i wouldn't say im running hot, showdown wise at least im having a fair share of bad beats, but im handling them very well and i think im almost near to not even sweating when losing QQ to K9o on a 200$ bubble, after taking that beat and just carrying on playing in harmony was good to know about myself.
So i've made about 6500$ profit in the last 2 weeks, but i havent played that much, ive had a virus which made me feel like shit so i was playing crappy 1-2 hour sessions. I've also been a bit busy with some live event(which didnt go so well after running QQ into KK) which hasnt helped with the volume, but ive promised myself i'll put in some heavy volume now towards the end of march.
Ive been playing 10-30$ turbo games to keep the games running and 50-100$ normals, and its working great. I'll be updating how well im doing within the next 2 weeks or so again, defintely towards the end of march, hopefully it will be good news:)

On a side note i just passed my driving theory test ( brag: got 50/50 on the questions :D )
and have my driving test booked for the 21st of April, and im confident i can pass, so i'll be looking for a car soon which will be fun, also being able to drive to the casino / events is a big +.
anyways chow guys.
