Almost doubled my roll today in my first final table appearance.
PokerStars Tournament #24673318, No Limit Hold'em
Buy-In: $5.00/$0.50
928 players
Total Prize Pool: $4640.00
Tournament started - 2006/05/15 - 15:10:00 (ET)
Dear ARK4748,
You finished the tournament in 5th place.
A $227.37 award has been credited to your Real Money account.
The only thing that hurt was the hand that essentially knocked me out. My AQ vs KK, Ace on the flop, K on the turn. What you gonna do, still had a great time, but damn these things are long! |

I just registered here at FTR. So hi everybody.
Other than that, in the three or so weeks I've been playing, I've managed to move up in rankings on the freeroll MTTs I enter. First I got knocked out after two hands (3000something), then 720th out of 5k, tonight 360th out of 3700. Sucks to not be ITM, but it does feel like im getting better, even though I stupidly went all in with ATo after the flop. D'oh.
Now to keep my head from getting too big.  |

| Damn nice, I've had one straight flush so far, never the royal though. And I think it'd be hard to get paid off with the royal flush. |

My accomplishment is fairly minor, but I'm happy with it:- Added $50 to my 'Stars account on Friday of last week (first $ added ever).
- Cleared the Bonus on Thursday
- Withdrew the original $50
- ...and have a bit over $50 left.
Now to play more SnGs (where I seem to do the best) when I'm both not tired and have time to play without distraction.
Oh: I tend to drink whatever's available when playing. I've learned that drinking a gallon of water at a sitting does not increase one's play if you won't sit out a hand or two and instead wait for a break to go pee. |

I made $2 by finishing in 133rd place out of 5724 entrants in a $1000 freeroll on Royal Vegas!
Yahoo! I went way farther than I expected, only to get beaten by an A on the turn beating out my pocket 4s.
But I won something! First time ever! |

Due to real life stuff screwing with me, I had to cash out yet again (did so yesterday). It is becoming annoying that this is hampering my poker development, but then again, if I didn't have this poker money, I'd be in a lot of trouble lol. So I cashed down to $160. That meant.. goodbye 20NL . So I had to grind it out at 10NL again, til I get back to $360, my personal BR requirement for 20NL. At first I had some small adjustment problems.. the lagg style that works at 20NL really isn't all that good at 10NL, but after a few hundreds hands I got back into how to play 10NL. And you know.. I really love 10NL. Lol. Dunno why. It's so relaxingly easy. But I do want to go back to 20NL ofcourse, as I want to move higher. $95 to go or something. I guess it's nice to know I'll always have good ol' 10NL to fall back on or something

Heh, you should post it anyway. Personal victories are what it's all about. I run at 30-40BB/100 not too rarely. But not always, sigh. After the 7 hours which netted me the previous results, I played 4 more hours and hit an incredible dry of cards where simply NOTHING ever went right. You know, you rarely get a hand at all.. fold fold fold.. and then when you do get a hand, either everyone fold or mr. nit just flopped a monster. At the end of this 4 hour horror, I tilted off a buy-in, then quit.
I hope I'll have better luck today! Oh and if you are wondering what this is doing in the "winning circle".. it's a personal victory of sorts that I ran break-even instead of donking off a ton of buy-ins on such a bad run. |

On a more serious note, this was the catalyst I needed to justify dedicating this summer to really study and play poker, as opposed to taking my usual summer job. |

Ok, so after cashing out $200 on saturday, I had to cash out $130 again yesterday. This brought my roll down to $130. Really sucks, but I had to, you know. Started today pretty sucky.. hit some harder tables, ran into KK vs AA, my "tilt situation" which indeed tilted me for a while (goodbye couple of buy-ins), but after these first 500 rough hands, it picked up over the next 500:
So the roll is moving up again, $212 now. Strange thing is though, I don't feel satisfied anymore. Not compared to the previous good run, where I was all happy about it. Hitting those harder tables earlier made me realize I actually suck at poker. You don't learn to play poker at 10NL. In fact, you unlearn it more than anything! When I run into aggressive players - rare at the lower limits ofcourse - it's suddenly a ton harder for me. That's why I suddenly just wanted to move up to 50NL asap. Ofcourse, not without the roll for it ($1k). I probably won't have to cash out for a couple weeks, so that's atleast comforting. But it's such a long way to go still.. sigh.. (I also read some of bdawg's posts in the shorthanded forum and they made me feel like I suck even more, for some reason) |
