Congrats!
Well I stopped the downswing..... I got 3rd in a $109 PLO8 mtt for $640. I needed it but missed 1k extra for 1st. Maybe I will get it next week.
I finished 3rd in the $109 PLO8 Deep-Stack for $620, then promptly gave about 300 back the same night in cash games. It was ridiculous how poorly I was running. I woke up this morning, and the same nonsense started back up again. I was down another $200, but I remained composed. I stayed in this super juicy NL08 1/2 cash game and cleaned up vs 2 super fish. I just left when 1 of the fish got stacked by the only other good player at the table. I regained all my losses from last night/this morning + $200. I am back to my highest point. I still need like 4,000 VIP points for Carbon VIP. Wish me luck, I might play a bigger mtt tonight. We will see.
Good Lord I have been getting mugged as of late. I am so fortunate to have gotten 3rd for +620, or else I would be pretty tilted. I almost have 20,000 VIP points for a $700 redeem, that will help. Hopefully I can get into the 5k VIP FR and get some free $$$. Also the 2 a day promo might prove fruitful the 2nd go around. Depending on how the month concludes will determine my March plans. I may just withdraw all but $500, and make a micro stakes mtt LB run. I raked another $60 today, unfortunately I am down like $100 today.... I guess I am playing too big and stressing out over losing sessions. I still have a great BR..... just need to take a little break and come back with a fresh slate.
My goal is to be the champion of the month.
My goal is to win the WSOP one day. Never going to happen but you can hope.

i was railing your 3rd place pl8 nice job
wow that's a crazy good story. i like it. i'll take in mind all the advice and ideas that you gave out and hopefully be where you are also.
thats pretty crazy//
gl with that
ouch :)
I had to stop the bleeding again. I was on a big downswing, and woke up this morning played 1 tabled limit 08 5-10 and won $300. I am regged again tonight for the $109 PLO8 mtt. Hope I can better my 3rd from Sunday. I still need $150 rake by the 24th to get into the 5k fr..... only 37 ppl regged 4 it so far. Hopefully I can score some free cash over the next 3 weeks in all the FR's I have worked hard to qualify for: ie the 2 10k's + 2 a days promo + 5k VIP FR + weekly Sunday free seats. I put $100 on Tiger Woods to win this WGC Match Play event...... So far it has been delayed because of snow lol. I have TW @ +1000 $$$ line...... so I stand to win $1000 if he wins. I am already super stoked to watch the event..... now with $1100 on the line 4 a win I am over the top. Going to do some school work + watch golf + play the $109 PLO8 mtt tonight........ I don't plan on doing much else....... pretty slow Thursday. Sorry 4 the poor construction of this post, I kinda drank pretty hard last night @ my house last night with some friends. :D
good luck
Playing the $109 PLO8 atm..... wish me luck. :D
awesome good to know someone out there doin it.
Well I got donked out of the $109 PLO8 mtt last night. I flopped a pair + low draw + flush and literally missed everything verses AA....... LMFAO. I just finished up my second mini session of the day, both were + sessions. Plan on withdrawing basically everything at the end of this month. I have yet to miss a day in either the 2 a days promo or the last man standing promo. I really would like to make a nice score in some of the FR's this weekend or in the 2 a aforementioned promos. I literally need to grind out another $134.50 in rake by 15:00 Feb 24th to qualify for the VIP $5000 FR. I have over 20k vips now, just need to get to Carbon level here soon to redeem them @ the highest conversion rate possible. I might be back here in March playing FR's for fun again..... I wont be playing to seriously after I withdraw. Spring break is coming up + I need to finish the semester out strong. I really like these 10k FR's; but they are so filled with so many bad players they are difficult to maneuver through. I plan on playing the $11r satty tomorrow to try to get into the 100k on Sunday. Good luck all and see ya @ the tables. :D
that is awesome. nice going. i wished that i could do all that.
Thanks man, glad some peeps are following my thread. I just 3 tables 5-10 limit 08 for about 1 hour. I was up and down, played a table with a couple solid regs...... should have skipped that table I lost $80 on that one. I think I lost $15, but I raked $120 so I actually am ahead. I now only need to rake $44 between now and Sunday to make the $5000 FR. I need to get $50 tomorrow anyways to satiate my requirements for the day anyways. Tonight at midnight I expect to be ITM in that promotion..... :D That's a guarantee of $25 minimum. I have $100 NBA parlay on the Rockets/Mavericks/Lakers..... Bet $100 to win $350...... gogogogogo :D I think I am done for the night..... if I can win my parlay I might play the $109 midnight turbo..... I like that mtt. I have 22,000 vips..... woot woot. Peace I'm out. :DQuote:

My 3 game parlay is down to just the Lakers...... should be a win but it is the Lakers and they are all over the place this season. 1x Lakers win plz.... :D
I am not betting the Lakers anymore. They play like shiet and had me biting my nails down 2 the nubs. I won my 3 team parlay, but it should have been easier. I have to go 2 bed now....have to play the $11r satty and the 10k FR domkament. I never have any luck in those FR's on Carbon..... they have like 2-3k people and just suck ass in general. Well they are free so maybe 1x....
sounds good ur fuckng shit up keep it up and keep us posted
what a crazy rant and ride. that is totally cool. i like it all. thanks for the information.
Ugghhh..... started today down like $400 but grinded $200 back. I need to rake another $24 between now an tomorrow afternoon and I am in the $5000 vip fr. $2000 up top for 1st in that..... I can only dream. It will be a small field of under 45 people so there is a chance if I play well and run good I can TID. I am playing the 10k fr and the 100k $11r satellite here in the next couple of hours. Going to go make some jalapeno poppers and some buffalo chicken wings for a snack, mmmmmm. :D
i want to build my online roll to over 1k again. i have done it a few times off buyins less than 40 $ some ima do it again. Good luck to all of you guys on your goals
After a $400 downswing to start the day I rallied and booked +300. I might play some more later.... in fact I will have to book a mini session to get my $50 rake requirement for the day. I have yet to miss a day in the rake challenge known as Last Man Standing. The requirements have hit $50 rake a day, and starting Monday it will increase to $75. I was railing a 10-20 limit 2-7 game that I desperately wanted to play but resisted. I plan on basically withdrawing everything @ the end of the month; I may wait until the middle of March idk. I do not however care to go on a big downswing, so I avoided a game where I think I have a decent edge for the sake of risk management. I just reached Carbon vip level..... I hope after midnight the system will have updated and I will be able to register for tomorrows $5000 vip fr. I have put in a lot of volume, on top of my already busy and hectic school schedule. Even if I could do this full time, I don't know if I wounld want to. I think that there are lots of easier and more enjoyable ways to make money. It's funny that when I didn't have a BR, all I wanted to do was build a BR through PO and play bigger mtt's. Now that I have a healthy BR, I am struggling to put in the volume that I need to put in. Well time for a break, then I have to come back for a tiny rake grinding session. I might play the $11 $2500 deepstack turbo later..... that's a fun little daily mtt that runs every night @ 9pm est. See you all @ the tables, and best of luck in both your poker and life endeavors. :D
God luck and keep it up. I hope you can grind on them some more.
Yesterday was an up an down day. I got killed in my last session and finished down like $100. Was a pretty swingy day as I started down $400 and rallied to up $300; before finishing as mentioned down $100. I reached top tier vip and just regged for the $5000 vip fr. Top 5 get paid.... $400 for 5th and $2000 up top. Hope I run well.... I am going to take it easy today other than that mtt. If I can win it will validate all the time I have invested this month. Since I have a BR under $3000 still, I have had to mass table a lot this month to get top tier vip. You have to rake $2000 in the month to qualify..... That's pretty tough to do fwiw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1cxP2nCBdU
that is crazy. i hope you keep blogging and threading about it since i am very interested in it and the history.
Catching upon my favorite tv shows atm. Here is my list of favorite shows in no particular order: Suits
Banshee
Franklin and Bash
Californication
White Collar
Two and a Half Men
The Big Bang Theory
Those are what I am watching while I grind..... I am on season 5 of Californication. I am almost caught up on both F.A.B and White Collar. I can't get enough of Suits; so sad that the season just ended. 2.5 men is always good for a laugh, and TBBT is always pretty funny. What shows do you guys like. I need some suggestions. I don't like The Walking Dead so.... Oh I like Mad Men and Breaking Bad..... wonder when those start back up. Suggestions please. :D
not too bad but i dont agree ^^ could be better
Awesome..... I took a 2 out button vs blinds in the $5000 fr for CL with 25 left. Hyper turbo sng player OJ 8's from the button straight into my KK in the BB. I had snap call on as the SB thought..... got to me and BOOM..... flopped an 8 in my face. I am actually not on uber tilt right now, but the more I type I am starting to get irritated. Why me? Well I just redeemed 20,000 vip points for $700 so that helps. FFFFUUUUCCCCKKKK......
Wow that is a very good goal, I hope you can grind up there and play with the big boys. GL
Very interesting thread, watching to see you reach your goals.
Spartacus is a must watch. New series Golden boy may have potential too.
Nice job i hope you will be better and better in the feature
Damn thats awesome good luck and it sounds like you can do it
nice thread sickhead..........:)
I loved Spartacus season 1...... then Andy Whitefield died and season 2 sucked. Just my opinion.Quote:
