FINALLY!!!

Well I want to start off saying I finally did it. I won a 180 man tournament. Although to most people it is not that big of a deal. The win in one of these has really been hard for me to come by. I think over the last year I have made 50 final tables in them only to be disappointed by placing first. Last night that all changed.

When I got home from work I started playing two mtts a $3 mtt and a $4 180 man. I was chip leader in the 180 man with 19 ppl left and in the top 10 out of the 780 starters with 33 left in the $3. Two very disaterous suckouts later I was out of the $3 in 30th. I blame Amatay as he just had to sleep instead of continuing his excellent railage. Obviously I am just kidding, but thanks for talking while I [played the two games mate.

With the decent showing last night I am not sitting at about $350 for my roll. So in 10 days I have turned $0 in to $350 playing only micro games. I am hoping to be able to grind it to 1k by the end of May.

Thats all for now. So Thank You for reading and maybe next week I will go for the Battle of the Planets leader board.

Well its a challenge...

Although it has not been easy trying to climb up from nothing... Starting with nothing more the a few thousand fpp's I am now sitting at $64.00 and 2 thousand fpp's. Although I could be following strict BR management I am playing the $3 lvl games. I have been playing the full spread of them. The 6, 9, 18, 45 man games...

I am playing whatever until I build up a $100, then I am planning a concentrated effort to place in the poker stars battle of the planets competition.

I am getting ready to take on the daunting task of updaittng my blogroll hopefully it does not tak eme long so I can get back to the virtual felt.

Well fuck me,,,

Lol...

What a weekend... Lets begin with the $250.00 buy in tournament I played live. I GOT KNOCKED OUT THIRD HAND!!! FFS! I flopped an open ended str8 flush draw and pushed in over the top over a raiser. Good Game me...

Then this happened...

I am sitting in the BB in a serious deeply stacked 2/5 game.

I check UTG bets $60

I raise to $180

FFS!

Then on Sunday I decide to put my money back on to Stars from epassporte.(I had taken it off for a much needed break from online poker.

FFS! they have turned off the ability to get money into poker sites. not only that but it looks like due to the fact that I live in Japan and my bank is in the states that it will be a bitch to get money out of epassporte at all...

So I started the long rebuilding session once again. mainly playing SnG's and Sunday Hundred Grand sats until I get a roll behind me.

getting deep trying to push through

Lately since my big win on full tilt I have been getting really deep and just barely missing pushing through...

so far this week I have three cashed nothing for anything big but I am consistently hitting top 50ish in each one out of 600... I think I have discover some leaks I may be having in my late game so we will see how it goes...

Also there is going to be a BIG buyin live game coming up here in Japan I am prepayed the $250 and it is restricted for 20 ppl first place wins 2750.00 have not really tried out my skills against the best of the best around here so I am really excited to see how it turns out.
