......... yeah. Tilt. I make a good call with AQ vs the most aggressive player's resteal for most of my stack (had 40k left after), he has AT and wins. Hand after I have to shove KJs from UTG, get 2 callers and one flop a FH with 44. Well... I mean... it sucks so much. There's something about domination hands which just makes me lose them when I most need them to hold up. It sucks extra much since I think I played really well the whole tourney, NEVER got it in with a flip or anything always dominating, or most of it won postflop (except JJ vs QQ which was my ONE TIME :P) so I don't think I had it coming to me (as it would if I won like 10 flips to get here).
I ended up in 250th place or something for like $115 or something like that, which fing sucks since I wouldve had a top 30 stack or so if I'd only won that freaking hand.
So that totally sucks much. What doesn't suck so much however is that I finally made it above my line to play NL100 again! So.... watch out NL100, cause I'm coming to cash that $40k or whatever it was that I would've won if I won that hand

Hey again! 
Today is a new day, and I've already played some NL100 6max. Haven't checked the results yet but it feels like they're baaaaaaaad 
Running somewhat bad with lots of fish hitting lots of hands Will probably continue playing it while I... play... the...
miniFTOPS event #12! $100 BI ante from start. I wasn't going to play it, started a $24 tourney instead and busted right away with set over set. Thought wth, let's try one of these super turbo sats right before it starts. Suffice to say, I shipped it. Updates in this post!
Edit. Just checked balance (had to go through cashier to get my promotions and see if I cleared enough for ironman yet) and I'm actually + like $50! No clue how that happened. Anyway, yay ♦

Tourney going crap. Got 3k chips left of the 5k to start with. Cant win a pot postflop, got a lot of chips from stealing blinds though which is nice.
Cs have been going kinda mediocre, now only playing 1 table with a 92/15 fish who has 500bb... yep. 500bb. It's like me, him, and a lot of tight regs who dont play. Need to catch a hand..
05.34
Been busto a while from the tourney now, never got back in action. Sat on that damn 94/17 fishes table for like 2 hours, and when I finally got a hand and turned 2p with AQ in a big pot against him, he turned a straight. Down 2 stacks on nl100 today. After that I thought I'd play some regs on NL50 HU and see how that was. First of all, wtf, do they know who I am? Most of the guys I recognized just sat out and wouldnt play a single hand with me, and some people Ive never seen too. Anyway at last I found one guy, stacked him so he left. Found another on 2 tables and played him for a while and won $100 then left for the day. Down $75 in CGs for the day then + $50 in tourney BIs.
It was overall a pretty frustrating day. I want torun good on nl100!!

Well, this was supposed to be this nights update post when I played the $22 6max turbo event. It just started however and first hand I pick up T8o in CO which I raise. I get 2 callers. Flop T83 2 diamonds, I cbet and some guy shoves over the top. He has an A high flushdraw and hits on the turn. GG!!!!

You could always just set $22 on fire... probably the same entertainment value. 8/
Keep fighting the good fight fella. 
Hey fongie, I have to ask this. How did you get your tables to look like they do on iPoker(referring to the "NL50 SH Session Review" vid in the swedish community)? I'm moving to that network soon and I'd also like to change to something like that.
Also, good luck on establishing yourself on NL100!
Hey hey. It's a program called "ipSkinner", you can just google it. Thanks

I played the PLO h/l event. I actually made it far... but busted at like 320th place, 220 or so itm after getting it in with AA vs KK but his sidecards flopped trips
I also had 2 nice HU matches, playing the same opponent on 2 different tables. The first guy was OK but not that good, but he coolered the hell out of me so after 600 hands we were breakeven (like calling 4bet 200bb deep with AJ flopping top 2 turning FH against my AK). Then some other guy who sucked more, but still played breakeven against me due to some sick stuff like winning A9 vs AK all in pre for 150bb. Anyway, I feel that in general I seem to have an edge over all the regs I've played so far on NL50.
Now, time for some nl100 SH
Edit 02.40:
Ship!! 
Up until hand 1100 is NL50 HU, after that is NL100 SH. As you see I had a nice run on NL100. People seemed willing to ship money to me kinda freely.
I think that my loose image seems to be paying off already. Some guy 4bet/called TT in UTG against my CO 3bet, which is pretty sick. He was "lucky" this time that I had AK, which is the only hand in my range there he isn't crushed by. Fortunately I hit, so w/e ♦
This hand is also kinda funny. If I didn't hit on the river it would've been a tough decision. Villain is a reg

Villain here is also a reg. I guess regs are a bit more creative on nl100 or.. something

"Played" the PLO HU event. That is to say, busted after like 10 hands all in on turn with 60% equity with top2 against villains top pair + flushdraw. Omaha sucks. These events suck.... maybe I suck 
Oh well, on sunday it's over 
18/9
Busto in the 6max ftops event today. Not much to do, cant get a hand cant hit a flop. Played HU, it started well +1 stack but ended -$43 so far - more to come of course. Played 2 bad players, the 2nd one ran really hot against me so not much to do there. Then a reg who was actually pretty good, he coolered the hell out of me once (turned a straight checked it behind in a 3bet pot with 76s and I rivered a set of QQ, what to do..). Then I ended by pwning him

Played a monster session on NL100SH today. Why? Cause I started off by running sick bad and didn't want to quit that way. Didn't stop running bad cause of that though, but meh.
Highlights include:
- Villain open pushing 3x pot on turn for 140bb effective with top 2 vs my bottom set and rivering FH
- Villain calling my 4bet (bluff) with AQ, I flop top pair KT on Txx flop, he shoves and rivers a Q.
- Getting villain all in on turn on AJx flop, he rivers a T with KQ
All good stuff. EV line of course doesn't include other silly stuff like some dude calling down 2nd pair to river and going runner runner straight or w/e. Atleast I got some nice $118 rakeback today........ this is gonna be a breakeven month, I can feel it 
The annoying part is that the tables are SO FISHY!!! it's amazing. And it's even more amazing that I'm not making profit

miniFTOPS challenge over
... and it was an epic fail. I cashed again tonight in the $12 KO tourney, about 700th place out of 19k entrants gave me a whooping $35 or so. Busted in another silly way, but meh... nothing I regret really. I played the main event aswell and busted after 2 flips, standard.
So, in short, I managed to cash... twice (I think? lol, dont remember) where 1 was deep and could've gone far (... but I lost AQ vs AT GRRRR). I think I'm slightly - in BI money but not that much, not even a BI on nl100 I think, so that's okay. However, I was hoping that I would've made atleast one deep run and more cashes.
Anyway, the positive thing with this challenge has been that I've grinded quite a lot of CG, which is probably a good thing since I need volume to even out the run-bad I've had this month (will make an update at the end of the month).
I'm pretty glad that it's over now so I can start sleeping during nighttime again, and wake up at a proper time. First fencing competition for the season is next weekend so I need to flip around my day again (atm I've gone to sleep at 7AM and woken up at about 4PM).
Edit:
This has nothing to do with FTOPS, but just wanted to share a very funny hand with you. Notice villains hand and play throughout (especially river!!), and see if you can find the funny part

My computer broke down yesterday I had just started recording a session review when suddenly both monitors went black and received "no signal", despite my computer being on. When I restarted the comp there was still no signal.... hard to try to fix anything when you can't get a visual... Lucky thing I have my laptop.
Don't really know what to do, the computer is really old like 6-7 years but I don't really wanna invest in a new one right now with poker money, and also I need some of the stuff on the harddrives.. if they're still alive.
Pokerwise I've had a few good days actually on NL100
You cant plow the fields without a good tractor so to speak
Computers are cheaper every 3 months so I would go for it.
Maybe I should wait 3 months then
Nah I think you're right, just not so happy about buying a new one right now... might have to drop down to NL50 again ♦
23/9
Played another session and once again managed to run bad but still only go about b/e for the session. Highlight: in HU turning 2p, raising it and calling shove against 2p that rivers higher 2p. Still not sure what to do with the comp, probably getting a new one though...
28/3
Hey hey
Pretty slow with updating, but not much to say really. Pokerwise I'm still hovering around breakeven, a bit more + since last time but not a lot. I would love to have an update for the month but my comp is still broke and can't recover anything from the harddrives either (which totally sucks btw).
First fencing competition was on saturday. Kinda sucked, I started out in a poule that was pretty tough. Went on with 3 wins 2 losses which was pretty good there. Faced a young danish opponent in my first direct elimination match who is pretty good - he completely dominates the younger class, and has made good results in senior competitions aswell. I lost 13-15, and that was it. He went on and finished 8th.
Bit concerned atm with poker and all the stuff I suddenly have to pay for - a new comp, several fencing trips... and I need to get my neteller card soon because I don't want to withdraw poker $ to a swedish bank account (not sure if it's tracked for taxes or anything but better safe than sorry), and my bank acc is almost empty! Luckily I get through next weekends competition almost for free, because I managed to get a place to sleep at a fellow fencer(ess) 1-room apartment... which was pretty full cause it'll be me and 4 girls 
Soooo..... yeah. Need to get a comp. Need to start running good in poker again... today I was heading towards a great session, but then I ran AK into AA 3 times within 5 minutes. I mean, what the hell - aren't you supposed to not run into AA with AK because of blockers and w/e 
Oh well, after that I was breakeven.. meh. BREAKEVEN. I'm a breakeven rakeback whore this month... don't wanna stay that way 
Hey kyle, well, not pro enough yet
29/9
Was a really good day. Had a nice fencing lesson, then a private coaching with MRTWICET which was really good. Let's put it this way.. I came out + from it
Then played another session just now and kept crushing (not that I ever didn't crush :f_cool:) and shipped another 3 stacks. +5,7 stacks for the day, including the coaching fee paid Wow that's better than I realised before I started writing this
Highlight of the coaching: (played one nl100 HU table the last 15 min or so against a weak reg)

Never expected him to call there, my flop raise was smallish to induce a shove with some crap. Turn really sucks but ofc still snap call. Ship it? Ty fish
Edit:
Also, I'm now officially an IRONMAN! Still think the ironman promo kinda sucks, but hey, it gives me a reason to grind and that's good.
