Not much to post since Tuesday

---

I haven't actually played much this week. I tried my hand at a Stars 750k sat on wednesday or thursdays. I made it pretty deep but the payout was limited to only 20 people. When we were down to ~120 people I tried to isolate a short stack with a semi vulnerable hand from the button. The short stack had a M of 3-4 there was a min raise from UTG. UTG had me covered by <1k with both of us sitting with 25k in chips. The SS was in LP and had 4k, that put ~7k in the pot. I pushed with Ks9s. SS showed JT, and UTG called with AKo. Flop showed an K and two spades. I turn was an A and river was a 9.

It wasnt the best play on my part, I had a vunerable hand, but was willing to take it against the SS. I really should have folded and waited for a better spot to pick off the short stacks. It happenes though.


Other than that I have played a handful of HU matches on Paradise. I feel like I am becoming an extremely strong heads up player. In the last few weeks I have played 33 heads up matches at paradise and won 24 of them. I have only been playing $10's HU's and 3-$20 HU's.


I have been reading more in this past week since I havent been playing. Reading through some Chapters in supersystem, and HOH2. I been purusing several articles online to. Pokerfox, pocketfives, twoplustwo, betthepot, and cardplayer all have had some good reads lately.


Tonight I am playing the 150k guaranteed on paradise. The fields are pretty small compared to stars and what I have been used to playing. I am expecting a field of 600-800 players. I am fairly confident that I will show a profit in this event. I only have to show a prize of $20 to have a profit. I am going to turn on my A game and see if I cant mae a better showing than I did in last weeks Stars 750k.


I have only played ~6 MTT's on Paradise. They have some really aggressive blind schedules, but for thsi event you start out with 2500 chips and have 20 min blinds. Right now there are only 200 people registered for this event, but 36 of us are sat winners from pocketfives, so that definelty makes the field tougher.


After the 150k I am going to cash out my account on paradise. I have completed my hand requirements to get my chips from pokersourceonline. I am going to consolidate my bankroll and work on clearing some of the bonuses that I have laying around. I am going to go back and work on my cash game. I will be playing .5/1 -1/2 limit games, and .1/.25 NL games. I have bonuses sitting on 4 sites that are coming close to expiring. I also get rakeback on these sites, so it wont hurt me to try and clear them out. Clearing my bonus at paradise has helped me get back into my cash game mode.


Unfortunetly paradise doenst allow pahud, and in order to use pokertracker you have to download handhistories. I have been slacking on this at paradise, and have incomplete records. The other sites have much more streamlined processes and I can use my pahud.


pokersourceonline has a league starting up next week. They play $5 buyin games, and have prize added events. They will be playing on absolute so I plan on leaving some $ over there. You dont have to have signed up through PSO affiliate link to qualify, and you dont have to have completed any pso promo's to play. So if you want a shot at some cheap MTT with prize added I encourage you to signup. I doubt many of the players there have a strong MTT game, because in order to clear the promos its better to play limit ring games, and I know thats what a majority of them play.


If you do sign up would you sign up through my referral link HERE after you setup an account go to the poker forums and create an account there. They currently have 2 no deposit required promotions where they give you free $. one at party poker and one at titan poker. you can check out that promotion HERE


If you dont have an absolute poker account you can get rakeback through this site. Rakerebate is very trustworthy and recommended by the folks at twoplustwo.

I hope to see you in the league!
