Grabbin those jumper cables

Lets fire this bad boy up again. It is the final month of what has been by far my best year playing poker. I have learned a lot and had a ton of success over the past 11 months. Starting with joining pokerxfactor, followed by numberous 4.40 180 man wins. Then I made my first breakthrough by making a few large MTT final tables. A 2.50 2k plus entrants, the $27k on full tilt, the $3r, and most recently a $5 6-max 2k+ entrants to go along with a $20 180 man win.

This month, I have a few goals for myself.

1) to reach silverstar thru playing a variety of games, HUSNG's, $25 NL, and .5/1 LHE, along with MTT's
2) to have a 5%+ winrate in HUSNGs by splitting the 11 and 22s.
3) if possible, actually get my first win in a non 180 man. I know this will be tough, but i think if i stay focuses and play my best, it can be done.

There will be no monetary goal, only to play my best. I am playing the Million tomorrow and hopefully swapping %'s with bcm, phenom, and murph (if he wants to be a superstar). I will post interesting hands from all the MTT's i play on here and am hoping for some constructive criticism. Thats what makes us better players right?

Challenge time!

Last night i for some reason played a $55 FO which is out of my BR but thought I was able to concur the field. However around the bubble i was sitting with a top 30 stack and went broke c/r'ing a straight flush draw which bricked to villains flopped top two. It tilted me really bad, and i realized that I am not motivated for any purpose so its time to rebuild, the bankroll and a positive mindset.

This challenge will consist of 4.40s on stars, $5 90 mans on FTP and other FO's of $5 and under. I will give myself 60 days in this challenge and would like to build both BR's. I would like to build PS's roll to $1k and FTP's to $600 by the end of the challenge. There is no way i can determine how many sng's/mtt's i can play in these 60 days because of fluctuation of schedule. I will update after every day that i play

Stars BR: $637.27
FTP BR: $385.52

Overdue Update

So recently, I have cooled off a little and find myself a bit unmotivated in playing the best poker, I guess it comes from the two big scores and large bankroll. So yesterday I cashed out down to $800 in my PS account, and i have about $530 in my FT account. I plan on spending some of the cashout on a digital camera and some other things to "treat" myself for the good play recently.

I made the decision to decrease my BR because I invested $70 in the 5r the other day and did not even make it out of the rebuy period. I was so tilted and realized that I am not ready to handle the higher stakes swings. So now i will concentrate on up to $10 FO's, the 3r's, and some $20 180s mixed in. As for full tilt, the daily double, and the 90 mans will be my main focus along with some double stacked $26 fo's.

October is bringing a PXF MTT challenge which will get me back in the swing of things and bring motivation. Somehow i was the 4th pick overall (i forgot about the competition until this morning). I think its 4 player teams, top 20 total scores count, and must have 5 per player, I think.

Here is a little parting gift, possibly the funniest youtube video ive seen.

Take it away Lloyd Banks....

WE ON FIRE!

So last night, first night having wireless in the new appt, I fired up 2 FTP 90 mans, the 6pm $5 rebuy, and a $20 180 man. I donked out of the two on FTP, wasnt really taking them seriously i think, i can't recall how i busted but w/e. I got close to the money in the 5r but overplayed 88 pf to an EP raisers QQ (I had him tagged as loose, so i figured there was a good chance he would fold preflop), and finally, DRUM ROLL PLEASE..........

My first $20 180 man i shipped it to Cleveland Ohio. Played solid poker, had some nice resteals, and the cards just fell my way. I flopped a str8 in a 4 way pot when raising 65s, won a race 44 > KQos when having 10bbs, then 1010 beat AK HU in a limp shoved pot by the villain. My second 4 figure score ever and 2nd this week! I'll be out of town this weekend, so no poker for me.

Let the Heater Continue

I haven't posted for a week or so and i figured with all my recent success, an update was needed for my fans. Thursday night, i was over at BCM's hanging out, watching football and the tribe game. I registered for the 8pm 3r, and 4:30am rolls around and I am out 5th for a cool $1,100. My biggest score yet, and first 4 figure score. I played very well, sucked out in one huge pot where I was on the phone, so i wasn't really paying much attention at that point in time. I did have to work at 9am the next day but whatever, it was worth it. I was in for $21 in the tournament and my Q4s beat AQ and KJ in the last hand of the rebuy hour to give me 12k in chips.

Yesterday (Sunday) I played in 4 MTT's and cashed in 2 of them. I played the 10 minute level 15k, the $5 6 max, 3r, and 17.5k on full tilt. I got deep in the 3r and 17.5k and ended up busting 177th and 25th respectively for a total of $130 in cashings. I made a HUGE mistake in the 3r when i was top 20 in chips with a 10x misclick. Meant to bet 3900, not 39000, and OBV the guy had a set of 4's and i was getting 47,000,000:1 to call his 600 chip reraise. fjidsajflkdja;lkfjdsaklgdsa

For the rest of the week, I doubt i will play much because my internet is still NOT hooked up (DIAGF Time Warner) and I am going to visit my girlfriend at Penn State this weekend, either leaving Thursday or Friday.

Ps. Awaiting bcm to email me the pics I took on his camera of my appt.

So much for that break....

So the whole break thing that i spoke of last post? Ya, i have a problem and enjoy playing too much to take that long of a break. So Sunday, i was ridiculously hung over all day and had nothing to do after like 7pm or so besides feel miserable. I remember telling myself how good i run when hungover so i fired up a bunch of donkaments: the stars 3R, FT 90 man $5, FT $27k guar, and a few others. The 3 that i mentioned i cashed in all of them. The 3R i ran QQ into KK after the villain with KK 6xed UTG +1 with them (WTF?) . The 90 man i got really aggro/bored on the final table bubble and shoved K6os into QQ blind on blind, and a SB limper called my shove with A4s, 78 no good.

On to the $27k, I had one more $26 token on full tilt and liked the structure, so the 1400 other players and i waged war until approx 2am. I got 9th for about $540 or so, not too shabby, but 1st took home a cool $6.5k FUCKKKK. I was CL for most of the later levels, say from 80 left to about 30. The card rush cooled and the table became more aggro so i was opening less pots but was getting little resistance. I bled some chips on the FT bubble when i opened K10s from the HJ, bb flatted, flop comes 9xx rainbow, i just check b/c i dont want to get CR'ed with air. Turn comes a Q, i bet it and get flatted, river CC and QJ owns. I was down to 200k chips and an M of like 4. I get to the FT and 3rd hand i have AK in the SB, MP opens i basically call my all in, i turn the world in a gutter, 2 overs, and a flush draw against the 99, but BLANK! Still my either biggest or 2nd biggest score ever, i cant be disappointed too much.

And finally Tuesday i was over BCM's and played a DS to the million, luckboxed my way to the FT after getting HU and 99 calling down my 8's full on a xK8xK board. we get 7 handed, im shortie and bye bye stars.
Dear lilOUmikey,

Tournament #59085173 has been cancelled due to technical reasons.

When a tournament is cancelled before players are in the money, we refund
each player their tournament fee, and then divide up the prize pool based
on the following formula:

- 50% of the award pool distributed evenly between remaining players
- 50% of the award pool distributed proportionally according to the chip
count

At the time of cancellation there were 7 player remaining, and your chip
count was 1,065. Total chips in play were 15,000.

Prize pool to be divided equally: $684.80/2 = $342.40
Prize pool to be divided based on chip count: $684.80/2 = $342.40

Your share in money equally divided: $342.40/7 = $48.91
Your share based on chip count: $342.40 x (1,065/15,000) = $24.31
Your entry fee refunded: $1.00
Total money refunded to your account: $74.22

ship it please, k thanks

Saturday I am moving into my new appt and i will post pics as soon as i get stuff set up.

Non-Poker Post

So since Sunday I have played maybe 3 tournaments and tilted off stacks in all three and have decided to take a break until I am settled into my new apartment. I am moving in next Saturday (Sept 1st) and it will take a few days to get settled in. I will still be watching the daily x-factor videos but I will not likely play any tournaments until Labor day.

Last Saturday I went to a Browns preseason game and was disappointed with the teams effort until the end of the third quarter where Ken Dorsey led a TD drive followed by the unveiling of Cleveland's new poster boy, Brady Quinn. Following Dorsey's drive, he led the Browns to 2 straight scoring drives, and I have not heard the crowd in Cleveland Stadium with that much electricity in a long time. Which leads me to the video my friend Sara Normand made, she is a journalism major and a die hard Browns fan, the video gave me goosebumps and got me almost excited enough to buy tickets to multiple games.

Superstar Sunday

It is about 12:30 pm on Sunday afternoon and I am trying to be a superstar for the day. I am posting my schedule and following each tournament, I will post the result, and any interesting hands that occur in each.

Chronicles of Bubbyman15: Part 4

Following his brief stint in the slammer after the bridge incident, he realized how he needs some sort of companionship in his life. Being the baller he is, he did not want to be like everyone else and buy a puppy to pick up chicks. He wanted to start a new trend. He thought to himself, "Self, what is cuter than the curly tail of a little pig? Babe did well in the theaters, I'm sure plenty of girls saw that and felt he was cute."

Also, he has gotten sick of his usual dinner of a chicken patty and mashed potatoes (The Bubbywich as it is known). He has gotten on the health food train as well. Here is the Christmas card he and Norman (the pig) are excited to send out.

Week Before Turning Stone

So I am leaving for Turning Stone this upcoming Saturday night, and I feel I need to get some things accomplished before I head into these tournaments. I haven't played much over the past week or so for a few reasons. One was I got completely fed up with the turbo sng's after 3 horrible days. Two, over the weekend, I went back to OU to hang out with some friends and did not have internet access there. And three, I have been hanging out with a young lady more which cuts down on poker time, I know "LOL girlfriendaments".

So this week I am challenging myself in a non-monetary means because I don't know how much volume I can put in. I want to play my best poker at all times, aka little to no mistakes. For every tournament I play in, I want to make less than 2 major mistakes, ideally none, but brain farts do occur. I am also going to rewatch Rizen's video of his Sunday Million win because it covers so many hands and interesting spots, I feel it will be the most beneficial of all the videos on the PXF database. My high school tennis coach had the saying "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard."

Also at Turningstone, I will be bringing my video camera and doing a video interview of Team Phenom bio's. All will be posted on this blog.

Chronicles of Bubbyman15: Part 3

After a sick heater from the bubbyman, winning 7 HUSNG's in a row, I decide to throw him a party in his honor. He obv gets a little drunk following this sick sick day. Prior to the party, he charters a private jet to accomplish something, he wouldn't tell us what. We soon find out from numerous news reports of a tragic event has occurred and a power hungry individual might be the cause of it. Below is the photo from the network news.



Also in attendance at the party is the engineer of this bridge, Dr. Matthew Raney, who is found to be beyond drunk stemming from todays tragedy. He cannot come to stand because he is so crushed as is his masterpiece. The bubbyman is oblivious to what he has done, what does he care? He owns the heads up world now!

Chronicles of Bubbyman15: Part 2

So since we last left our hero, he has hit some rough times and needed to drop down to the $11 heads up sit n'go's. As a result, he could no longer afford the pricey nightlife that he has become accustomed to over the past few weeks. Here is a picture of him and his boys Friday after bubbyman's credit card was declined for a 3rd bottle of Patron.

Day 4, 5, and 6

Haven't had time to update since Wednesday, Thursday was more of the same awful beats and i think i made a profit of like $2.80 for 36 tables. Yesterday and today were fairly low volume, i only played 1 session Friday, and one today (yes its only 7:10pm but its freaking Saturday). I am happy with the pace I am on for this challenge, and I hope to play some MTT's tomorrow along with SNGs. I am like 0 for 2007 in cashing on Sundays but w/e.

So last night, a bunch of us went downtown, I volunteered to be the driver because I agreed to play golf this morning at 6:30am, pretty bad idea, but whatever, I wanted to play. Downtown might be on the agenda tonight as well. BCM might put some pics up from last night where he courageously rolled down the St. Claire hill (a sidewalk on a busy road downtown) it was quite humorous.

Daily Profit: $32.20
Total Profit: $95.72
To Go: $304.48

Day 3

Felt like i was getting absolutely crushed today due to beats and what not, i guess they come in these TSNG's that are just bot shove. My first session I dropped about $12, then basically broke even after the second for the day. It was also the first time i 12 tabled on my laptop and not bcm's old one, and i had to adjust to layering the tables.

Daily Profit: $2.00
Total Profit: $63.52
To Go: $336.48

Chronicles of Bubbyman15: Part 1

Bcm's roomate and my friend, bubbyman15 has made the jump from the grind of $5 HUSNGs to the $20s, and recently him and Fat Joe had a little celebration. As he steadily makes the climb into stardom, he shall become more shipitholla than the shipithollaballas.

Day 2 with image of 12 Tabling

Only played 2 sessions, 24 tables but pulled in a decent profit to get this challenge going. I felt kind of tired during the second so i decided to stop.


Daily Profit: $38.40
Total Profit: $61.52
To Go: $338.48
