Nearly Busto ...

Permanent Linkby TheSalche on Wed Aug 08, 2007 10:32 am GMT

This weekend was interesting for me, I managed to run up from like $110 to $160, down to $90 and back up to $190. I played a bit more 25NL dropped down to $170 I believe then I did something really stupid ... I sat at a 50NL HU table. I played against an extremely aggressive opponent who was raising every button, three-betting about half the time I raised the button and was raising/3betting the flop almost all the time. This went on for a bit and I dumped $20 to him or so, then I called from the BB with 45o, flop was 557 and I got it all-in on the turn.

Obviously he has A5 and I drop down to $60 or something in my BR.

My second ePassporte load went through on Tuesday morning, so last night I deposited to FTP and I'll be playing there for now, sticking only with the 6.25 HU and 10NL.

So far I'm 6-6 at the HU SnG, including one where I lost JJ to KK on the first hand, flop was 3T6, somewhat of a cooler. Lost another after 97 flopped top two on 973 board, got it all-in against K9 who spiked a king on the river and I ended up tilting slightly and losing that match.

As for 10NL I played 400 hands or so and made $12. I'm planning on rakeback accounting for a decent amount of my winnings. First goal right now is to run that roll up to $550 or so, that way I'll be even on this recent deposits. Hopefully I can get there by the end of this month, which is feasible since I stop working at the end of this week and I'll be down at school able to play a LOT more than now.

I feel you.



somehow managed to lose half my BR in two days (from $1200 to $600)

since then played sub-quality poker and dropped down to around $400.



Decided to drop in levels and now I play the deep tables $0.15/$0.30 (though I only buy 100XBB)

Am playing pretty much break even poker. But good new, am getting over $300 rake back from last month.



this is the lowest my BR been in month.
