100k gurantee

So guys i played my first ever 100k gurantee today thanks to winning a ticket in a free roll! Well im not gonna post a very long one because im still tilting! Anyways i was top 10 for chips pretty much the entire tourney! We were down to 19 players, and i got my KQ in on KXX board and the other guy called. He turns A9 for a flush draw and rivers the draw to bust me. If i lasted one more position i would have made 400 more for taking 18th or better. So i am very disapointed with my results and cashed all the money off of bovada. Never playing there again! I am going to be playing the live tourney tom night! I am extremly excited to crush it :)

sit and go graph for january :)

So this is my wonderful start to they year in sit and goes, which is mainly consisting of 18 mans. I hope to continue my destruction of these!

Goals

Goals, probably one of the most important things to any person out there, because without them you have nothing to achieve. Then without reaching new highs what is the fun of doing something? I agree there isn't much of a point! So im going to go ahead and break down my poker goals for the year of 2012! :)

  Goal 1. This goal is pretty simple i want to actually track my total profit over the year and break it down between each month and so on. This will be easy on line because of poker trackers, but my live play i will have to enter results into my spread sheet each night after play. This will be tough on the days that i take extremely bad beats but i will get through it!

  Goal 2. My goal for online is have a 100 dollar profit from 1.10 sit and goes each month! This is going to include 10, 18, 27 and 45 mans. Probably very few 45 mans, due to the fact that they never fill! It will mostly consist of 18 mans due to the fact that i crush them :)

  Goal 3. For live play im going to have a small goal to start out this year because im just begging to enter into the live seen and it will take time to learn to crush the noobs! My goal for this is $500.00 profit each month for a total of 6,000 this year. I feel as if this shouldnt be too hard for i am already up 500 this month with time to crush more soles!

  Goal 4. Lastly and most importantly to me i plan on going to vegas for a month to grind the live scene! This may seem like the easiest of them all but its not for me because the hard part is going to be getting off of work! But this will happen before the end of the year!

 Well there you have it my poker goals for the year like i said im starting out small, and if all goes well this year i will have a lot more goals next year! Good luck to all my fellow grinders! I will post updates on the last day of every month! #stormon people :)

Updates for all

So that right there is a ticket into the 100k gurantee on bovada, which i will be unable to play today thanks to my job! I tried to get off last minute seeing as i won the ticket last night via their lucky draw. Also to be honest it is not a site i suggest to players. I mean they have easy players, but their are many down falls to the site.

Let me just get started with the fact that they recently changed their name from bodog to bovada. This is normal for companies just weird for a somewhat known company. Yet with that change they also took the players names off the tables! This pisses me off the most, because now you can no longer take notes or realize who your playing against. We all know that notes are one of the most important things to us poker grinders. We need to know how people play to find the most +ev to play back against them. The only plus to this is that all the people that are poker tracker grinders will no longer play on here which makes the site a little softer. So now my tracker is completely pointless, which is why most of my play will remain on Carbon Poker!

As for the 100k seat the plan is to play it this coming weekend, and I'm gonna ship that shit! What will be done with the winnings is ill buy a car that isnt a POS. The rest will go to complete my schooling and continue my live grind. (aka the entire winnings will be cashed out in chunks) (eff u bodog/bovada)!

Anyways since thats out of the way i havent shipped anything big on carbon, just been grindin away at sngs and a few mtts. Most of my play is going into live play where im beginning to excel. I started playing live bout 2 weeks ago now. I have played 3 tourneys running deep in every one bubbled 2/3 and bout 7 places away from payday in the other. So one of these times the ship fest is going to begin and im gonna win big just been drawing dead on the final tables/near them.

Made a huge mistake in my play in the last one, i had 99 utg i limped in instead of raising because didnt wanna open up my stack to the big stacks on the table. So i had 1 other limper and the BB in the flop. FLop came 1087 so my 9s are most likely good here so i bet a lil over half the pot. The big stack that limped in folded and the BB raised to 12k bout 3 times my original bet. So i sat there and pondered, and ended up deciding he was making a move, so in return i shipped my entire stack for 30k+! The thing that shocked me was he snapped called with 76... Well turn came blank and on the river he hits a 7... WTF! i shook everyones hand and then stormed off to grab a beer and cool down before cash game play.

None the less since i have begin playing live im up around $500.00 even after blanking every tourney!

I should stick to cash games but i get too much joy out of the tourney grind.... #firstworldproblems :P
