A new beginning

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

I get a-q in the small blind and 6 people limbs in so i raise it up to 150 which turns out to be way to little.I look at 8-9s so i push.5 of the limbers call the raise, and with a blank flop im saving my bullets for later.

I get one caller and the flop comes q-8- I bet half the pot and he calls, turn brings a Im now commited with only 400 left so i push the rest and he calls and turns up 3- No problem there, i take it down and im now back to square one with 21 Just before the break i get j-j and get up against 6- But with a 6 on the flop and a 6 on the turn im outta here, nice quads bad luck.He only has a few hundred left and the pot is big enough to call him although i havent hit anything.If he has a lower pocket pair, im getting good value and move him all in.Bummer, im out in 72th place.I dont expect him to fold and he dosent.What a poker beat.A short stack raises it and on the flop k-q-8 comes.After this i play a little cash, omaha h/l pl with 10-20 blinds.Entrances 277 starting blinds 10-20 starting chips 2000 blind levels 12 minutes Lots of action at the table im at, people are limbing and calling raises like crazy.BB calls and shows 2-10 but with no improvement he wins with high card.Blinds are now 75-1 The next 30min my cards are just terrible cold and with my small stack and constant limbers and action its impossible to build it by stealing.

He calls and shows k-k trip kings, so im down to a 4 outer.Im starting with a 10$ tournament today at eurolinx Entrances 238 starting blinds 10-20 starting chips 2000 blind levels 12 minutes 40 min in the tour i play the first hand (ive limped a few times without hitting) I get a-j in middle possition and raise it up.I call off course thinking im only winning the high now, but he shows 3-6 of clubs gving him a straight flush and im dead.The river brings the 7 of clubs and all the sudden the opponent bets the pot all in.I get down to 830 and im on the button with NO LIMBERS.The evening is still young so i join the 20$ 6,5k guranteed thats starting.I dont hit and im down to 11 I few hands later i pick up pocket nines and raise it up.I get up to 40$ when i holding a-2 of clubs and on the turn i got the nut high and low with 4-5 and 8 of clubs.Nothing happens the first hour though exept a few small pots and as we go on break i have 2150 in chips and we are 115 players left.

wipe out

Sad news, the last days has been terrible.

I went from 420 to 370. Then i took a huge blow and went down to 100. I then managed to get back to 300, only to go down to 100 again the next day. Today i took the last hit and lost the rest, terrible. Bad start to the project, but with only 10 buyins i knew there was a possibility that this could happen although i dident expect it. Its pretty rareBad start to the project, but with only 10 buyins i knew there was a possibility that this could happen although i dident expect it.Anyways, back to square one with a new fresh 500$ poker bankroll and a hunger for poker victory.I have reloaded 500 more so im now back to square one, or i guess the right phrase is down 5 Im still possitive about the project and im sure i will succeed.

Im determined to work hard and stay focused.Well i have taken some sick beats, but i also havent played my best.I went from 420 to 3 Then i took a huge blow and went down to 1 I then managed to get back to 300, only to go down to 100 again the next day.Sad news, the last days has been terrible.Today i took the last hit and lost the rest, terrible.Its pretty rare i loose 10 buyins in a week, but it happened and thats that.So what went wrong!Playing 12 hours straight saturday with a hangover was also a bad idea.
