[Closed] JP's NL Diary - Tourney Ship 2.7K

To start the thread I will post a good result from last weekend.

I won about 5K in the last Everest 50K "Major" Tournament for finishing 3rd. OBV I din't make a screenshot. ♠_mad:

This weekend I will play the Marbella Live Tournament. 350 Euro Buyin and 1 Addon or Rebuy. I'm getting fully staked by millionaire I stacked several times in the Casino.
I get 40 % of the winnings and he will get 60 %. I think it is a really good deal for me.

So you around and I will keep this blog updated.

Cheers,
Rob

Yaaay - Good luck Robert! Ship ze Moniez ♠_love:

Good stuff. I will follow your exploits. Ship it.

GL ROB....

See us at 3LT :))

Gogo Robert!
Whats your result in Marbella ?

Hi guys,

I come right from Gym, had there a really long training session.

Marbella was fun, unfortunately I didn't make to Day 2. The playerfield was overall in my opinion pretty bad. Some good guys, many not sot good guys and a lot of Gambler.

I was in overall pretty carddead, only got 2x JJ, 1x AK and 1xAQs. And I lost all four hands. When I got JJ the first time one guy had AA, when I got the 2nd time another guy had QQ. AQ I lost on A high board against AK and with AK I didn't hit the flop at all and needed to fold after action arised.

Tried also to get with SCs in late position cheep into the alltime limp pots, but never hit anything usefull.

My last than was with about 17 BB. 3 Guys limped in, and I saw these 3 guys folding to push 2 orbits earlier, and as there was already Big Ante I decided to push 66 from the CO. The Big Blind woke up with Aces.

The flop was 345 and gave me some hope...

...which turned into some joy after a 6 appeared on turn....

....which was heavily crushed with the A on river.

Well, I played 2/5 Cash afterwards, no Big Hands, but 160 Euro up in the End. So all in all a good day.

The Tourney Sunday.

Well....i was quite good in the qualifiers, managed to get a Brawl and WU Ticket.
So I decided to buy into the 300k aswell, to make it complete. Well the Big tourneys didn't went all to good. I busted in the WU itm the rest before ITM. At Party I lost a big flip.

The 33k FT 24+2 KO was quite good. Unfortunately I lost this flip at the stage of the 3 final tables. Well..better luck next. Overall my play was ok, I think I need to improve finding spots with trash hands to cover the carddead periods.

Hi Guys,

my Girlfriend already arrived here and we tested again her great Bingo skills. (she always wins money there). Okay, we're probably 50 years below the average age of the bingo area. ♦ and should have some speed advantage. ♠_cool:

All in all I did not play that much poker the last two weeks, just tried some HU and as well some Omaha. All in all Omaha is much more fun than the HU, so I probably will add Omaha 6max to my portfolio instead of NL Hu.

In 1.5 Weeks my Internship ends and its time to leave Gibraltar. I'm already feeling sad about it, as I really had a great time here and I will miss the job and the people. I probably will post some pictures of Gibraltar here, before I leave.

My PokerSchedule for the next 1.5 Weeks.

- Maybe Saturday some final live NL CG.
- Sunday again some tourneys in the late evening. (50K Everest and maybe Brawl)
- Monday the first time ever PL 0.5/1 Pound Live CG. This will be awesome I guess.

On Saturdays, the 14th my Girlfriend and me will leave Gibraltar and make a nice trip through Spain. Sevilla, Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia will be the locations.

In Valencia we will join the La Tomatina Festival. ♦ I smell some awesomeness already.

Hi there,

It is finally time for a small update.

We are already in Barcelona. Sevilla was really awesome, Madrid was nice, but nothing special und the first day in Barcelona was really nice. :) I will post some pics of Gibralter and my spain tour, when I am back in Germany.

Regarding Poker:

I played in all casinos, and I am 1,5 stacks down so far. Quite card dead overall, nothing special. In Barcelona and Madrid I got a really tight table, but Sevilla was awesome. Unfortunately I lost all big pots there against the table maniac, who was all in every 2-3 hands. Buttom Pair was enough for to go all in with almost a full stack on the flop. Unfortunately this pair beats you, when you miss your draws (including overcards) completely.

Beat: Get up tomorrow at 5:00 am.

Brag: I will join La Tomatina Festival

Varianz: We will see..... ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

La Tomatina was nice and fun. ♦

Now I am back in D. I will start grinding Nl 100, although I could play higher limits with my br. Just to get into the game again.
And I will play Tournaments from 22 - 109 $, trying to qualify for some majors on sunday.

In addition I will do a lot of theory. Watching Vids, 2 U2U Coaching per week and handdiscussions every 2 days with a friend.

Let's see how it goes.

Nice blog, will certainly follow it! Btw, do u grind nl100 on Everest also(FR or SH)? I'm considering shots on nl100sh soon, but it seems like the tables are full of regs there. Too bad all the french fish had to leave ♠_cry:

Well, Everest is really kinda dead. Maybe it will get better in the winter months.

Though more about Party and Labbrokes. (SH)

And FT Rush FR. ♦ This is fun.

Update: Tournament Sunday was not succesfull.

ATM I am sick, got a cold right after being back in Germany. ♠_mad:

NL 100 playing postponed for some days.

So, I finally fineshed with the work I needed to do for my studies.

So far I only played Rush FR 100. The graph is ok, but not really good. I will now start playing SH again additional to Rush and also starting with more theory.

Hi Guys,

my last entry was a while ago. The main reason is. First I had a tonsilitis.

2 Days, after this was over, I had once again strong abdominal pain, so I went to the hospital. They took my gallbladder out, now the pain should be stopped.

On Monday I probably can go home.

So back from Hospital. Today again the first poker day.

[x]4 Digit Day.

Actually I am shotting some good NL 400 Tables again. What do you think about following hand. I put him more often on a ten or pair+FD then the made Flush, how do you Guys play the turn? The other guy is a 27/22 Reg with 29% PFR from the Bu.
