Aces Over Kings

(oh, and multitabling: it took me quite a long time to be at ease with 8. Once I got there, it seemed very straight forward to get up to 12. However my monitors are not great, so I am keeping it 8 - 10. But I am sure that if you already played so many profitably, and you are a pro, so it will come back quick)

Having fun reading you keep being called by k7 while holding qq and everything will be fine

Had my second session last night. Was a bit migrainey so just played 5 MTTs. Got eliminated from 4 pre-bubble. But one I ran deep.

$2.20 6 handed $3K Gtd, 1649 runners. Was running good till half way through bubble. Kept first position for long time with 4x 5x avg. stack. Cards were just coming. Kept betting and hitting nuts on the flop! It was all good.

Then all went dry suddenly. Missing flops with AK, over cards over my pairs, losing all flips and in favour races. Went down to 10-12 blinds. Still a lot of people left and prize was still nothing.

But I played good, remained cool and patient. Stole some good pots, made some good folds and shoved at some good spots. I got in the zone, fields was easy enough. I was absolute ready to ship it. 30 Players left. Had a good stack to push me through.

Till this happened.

KK vs 53, Shoved Pre-Flop, got snapped!

Yes I smiled. Well, I looked more like Joker than Gioconda for sure. There are some tournaments can change your career/life forever. But surely this one wasn't one of them. So we let it slide ♦

I mean I couldn't ask for more. Guy called me 53 that deep with that deep of a stack. And I hit top set on the flop. Can't be sad over just the river card, eh?

Such a nasty hand there.. but as long as they keep making those kinds of mistakes, we shouldn't be too sad when they get lucky, loving the attitude towards it!

Agree wit ruktpuff :). Those beats suck, but in the long term we should be happy with those fish that ship their stack into your kings with 53s. Love your attitude, so youll be fine! Gl and keep us posted

In single table SNGs it doesnt hurt so much when you hit such nonsense. I guess its why im playing them.

The Fish Code:

Fold is a lie, there is only call.
Through call, I hit cards.
Through cards, I gain chips.
Through chips, I gain victory
Through victory, my pockets are filled.
The Poker shall free me.

The Shark Code:

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no bad beat, there is variance.
There is no passion, there is patience.
There is no luck, there is skill.
There is no end, there is the Poker.

Had a chat with Simon, Japruler (what does that mean anyways? closest we've got is that you're the Japan's ruler but incognita) and he decided that I can toss in a $11 once in a while too. Indeed good news.

But gotta keep ABI under $5 to still be in the safe zone. Was thinking of two strategies.

1. Play $11 MTTs with smaller fields, 500 entrants max to lesser the variance and be able to play more.
2. Focus on Big $11 and keep it on grind untill I cash big! (yay!)

What do you guys think?

Going to play Sunday Million for poor & under privileged tomorrow. It's out of current BR. Although Simon has bought some shares and couple of other people (I'm not advertising to sell).

I'm gonna play it perfect. I'm gonna play it so good that even if I hit 2nd prize I'd be pissed! A bit hard to not to disappoint myself eh? Well, I'm gonna forgive myself no worries!

Also half-priced Sunday Storm. Which someone else staked me (then again sorry Simon couldn't ditch the guy). I usually do well on Sunday Storm, and by well I mean getting eliminated in first 8 dealt hands. So all good. Hope the other staker doesn't read this though.

Also started playing $2.50 180man. They're fun. Kinda like ICMTrainer but only costly with prizes. Maybe grind some to see how they go.

Used to listen to Classics or Jazz during playing Poker. Recent sessions were silent. So I'm gonna listen to Rammstein from tonight. I'll inform you the results and effects.

My graph from last 100 games. Nothing special yet. Stake started 43 games ago.

Covering lots of MTTs tonight. Including Sunday Million. I feel good tonight. But I feel good every night so don't read much into it

How'd you do last night?

Hi fruktpuff. Thank you for following my blog and your support ♠_love:

Made Sunday Million to the bubble and ran with QQ to KK. But already forgiven myself I only had 2 playable hands the entire run tbh, one KK on BB which everybody folded before me, and this QQ. Bluffed and stole the rest of the party. So it was sad when I saw my Queens to their husbands so quickly.

Also made another $60 from rest my session. Still haven't done anything impressive yet. Had some deep runs but hands went dry and couldn't save myself from elimination. But all good.

I think I'm a bit hasty. Want to cash big faster and only been playing for 5 days now. Large fields do look very attractive for me and don't have enough appreciation for lesser prizes. I've turned into a fish I guess

But gotta remain calm and patient. What's more important is EV+. I have all the time in the world (well not all the time, no one's getting any younger!) Will get there, hopefully ♠_biggrin:

Tbh, its nothing. It has no roots in a historical event or some kind of Japanese ruler. Once when I was a kid I had to come up with a screenname for some videogame or forum, I dont even remember where it started.. I can up with Japruler for no reason other than that im half Japanese. Clearly I wanted rule too. I started to use it for other online screennames aswell, and here I am! One advantage I found is there is no one else in the world that came up with 'Japruler', because the name sucks ofc, but its nice that I dont need to come up with numbers or anything because a nickname is taken

Gl with todays games! And be patient. Like you said, it has only been 5 days so far, and mtts variance can.. well you know the rest..

what is your usual volume when you play? 30 mtt per day? With such small volume you are doing great imo.
