Tournament #7

Tournament Number: WHO CARES???

(I'm not gonna bother keeping the tournament number any more)

Notes:

I'm playing a 2nd in the same day because I played well even though I lost. Let's see what happens.

Hopefully I don't go on cumulative tilt.

supermagrao with the opening hand check raise

annabellerose calls my preflop raise with -- 9 8 off? Then keeps calling while Ace and others show on board...gut shot calls...

annabelle rose calling station out the door

3rd place @ 100

I have got to get out of the habit of randomly raising to "keep people on their toes." They're walking around on their toes with my chips.

I'm tied near the bottom but no need to panic we're all in a clump down here

az devils 444 will push in a heartbeat don't play him unless you're ready to push too

i cultivated a bs table image in order to rake in when i got some hands. then i never got any hands

i took az's play away from him -- pushed before he could he called me and i doubled up

cincykid on tilt pushes and finishes 4th I AM ITM

pushed with 7's, tj calls with k 8 (no reason not to) he pulls a straight on the river and I finish 3rd

Maybe pushing wasn't the play there, but I was really short stacked. Probably could have called I don't think tj would have raised.


Place: 3rd
(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #5

Tournament Number: 161082469

Notes: Feeling ok. A little cramped for time. Keep it slow.

Flyin15sec &ginohouben called twice pre

krebslein raised first time pre flop

both folded

redsox raised 2nd time

gino all in w/flush draw, redsox called with mid pair (pocket q's w/k on board)

mentor poker all in call w/flush draw (3 hearts on board, flyin had it)

whenman plays big w/high pair and loses

whenman not bad doubled up on pocket rockets

flyin pushes with 2 hearts on board, claims it wasn't a flush draw.

truth be told, I don't know what to make of most of these folks. I just play my hands, steal when I think I can, play it straight from the beginning and watch people fall.

whenman, ever in a hurry, pushes with kk and is dominated by krebslein's ka

massagem pushes with rags on the board after i raise him preflop

massagem calls my preflop raise, folds after i bet half my stack on flop. Guy just doesn't care about small bets i guess

remember that for when you have a hand

darkwizard seems to be a bit of a puss -- i will raise when he's in bb unless flyin limps

playing under phil gordon's rules seems to leave me not flying so high but doggone if i'm not doing badly at all. 4th out of 5 and stealing from wizard like a mf

durrrrrr...got into a pissing match with redsox who has like 3x my chips

got into short stack play and finally pushed when i shouldn't have -- didn't intend to call all in but wound up dominated. That was a definite tilt push. Even from short stack there was no reason to call that.

4th place
