Another good result in Lucky dollar tournament (2nd out of 480) for $75. Was badly needed as was down below $100 before that. (Hadn't been doing well in online poker the last week).
Main hands were big slick - hit top pair with it and doubled up both times - amazing as I never do well with that hand.
Messed up Q9 on a Q99 board - two limpers I complete small blind with blinds 600-1200 I have about 30000 post flop UTG who has a stack of about 60000 fires out a 3000 bet - for some reason I think he is strong and a raise from me will look less suspicious than a smooth call so I reraise to 8000 - total spaz move as he folds. This is a problem I have to work on in my game - getting action and trapping when the hand is so strong it is unlikely to get outdrawn.
Final table I went in about 6th played tight - it went quicky people knocking each other out and I made it to heads up with 120k vs a girl with 440k. She'd been big stack for a while and loved to make huge preflop raises so I decided I was going to have to go with any Ace any decent King or any pair. It was over 1st hand tho - I got 77 she had 22 and we got it all in and she spiked a 2. Shame really as it would have been game on if the 7s held up but wasn't too upset tho happy enough with 2nd.
So back up to $165 - I need to try and conserve this and stop playing stupid in cash games - should maybe give up Omaha HiLo also - its too volatile and I gamble too much in it! I keep buying in 5% of bankroll into it and lasting about 10 mins. Today it really added up and had me below $100 at one point. I've worked out that only need to make 4% per day to reach 20k by 1 June so just need to keep chipping away.
Thanks for comment Krosta - great to hear from you. I wasn't sure if anyone read this! Tried to email u but didn't have a link to address. Are you doing the same thing with bankroll management - i.e. rules about no more than 5% etc?
I must have enjoyed the Casino last week more than I thought as I'm now desperate for a trip to Atlantic City or Vegas - I don't think I can wait until June or July. Maybe will go in March or April if I get some good results online.
This blog is meant to be about poker and my diet (Biggest Loser comp at work) - not much news on the diet - put on a couple of pounds while away in Canada last week but doing ok still and lost about 8lbs in January
Closing bankroll $165 - weight 204lbs.
