$1 to $1000 on Poker Stars

Was on vacation two weeks ago and very busy at work last week (when I usually update).  Been on a bit of a downswing, but hanging in there.  Decided to sit at a NL game for a second and of course had KK lose to QQ.  It’s fun losing $10 in the span of like 2 minutes.

Not much happened in the last week, but moving up a little bit.  I did take a shot and played the PocketFives Open on Saturday and of course ran like crap and went out early.

Finally took down my first scheduled, multi-table, no-limit, online tournament with a buyin over $10.   It was the MSOP Event #4 (Mixed Limit) with a buy-in of $50+$5.  I sattied into it for $24+$2.  For those of you that don’t know, the MSOP is the Mini Series of Poker on Full Tilt.  They coincide their tournament with the event that is going on in Vegas for that day, with a buy-in of 1/100th of the WSOP event.  There were 687 players and the tournament killed the guarantee of 10k, with first place being a cool $8416.  The tournament was structured very well with 12 minute levels and going back and forth between limit and NL.  I won most of my chips during the limit rounds as most of the players were NL players who had no clue how to play limit.  In fact, towards the end of the tournament, players were using their time bank to delay the game in order to get back to the NL round from a limit round.  Another cool thing is that Full Tilt is giving the winners of each event a “FTP collectors watch”, which is their answer to the WSOP bracelets.    

Things finally came around in the $3 TSNGs.  I had a good night, but a few attrocious beats hung around.  For instance….

The $2 180-TSNGs were also pretty good to me last night, but I wasn’t able to avoid the massive variance at the final tables.  I’m back up over $200 (for the 100th time it seems), and hopefully won’t drop back down again.  Back to mixing in the $6 TSNGs again, but not stepping up in cash games until I reach the $300 mark.

I haven’t updated this in a while because not much has been going on.  Same old stuff.  Worked the bankroll back up and hit the $0.5/$1 SHL and Razz tables again, only to be slapped in the face.  I really can’t imagine that the level of play at this level is so much better than the $0.25/$0.5 level that I am being outplayed for multiple buy-ins.  I’ll wait even longer this time to jump up again, and hopefully the cards will fall my way.  I’m also running horrible at the $3 TSNGs, luckily the $6 TSNGs are keeping me afloat.  I also tried one of the new $2 180-man turbo SNGs which are pretty fun.
