[Closed] Earp's ÜberMicro Blog -> 10 days Diamond party challenge

Good luck fishing in the Pacific waters!

Pacific is having some problems lately: Pacific Not Updating?

Better get informed if the updating is going to be fixed somewhat soon, cause in the worst case you may just as well end up with a huge amount of rake not getting updated on PS...

Well, I'm sure they will update it by the end of month...

Geeez.. u really left it for the 12th hour? ♦ well, yep, u wont be missing some motivation now gl! c u in the car! ♦

btw: I am not able to practice the riding skills bcs parents went for vacation for a week and I also woulnt have time, bcs am wayyyy behind my month schedule, so just grinding these days + gf i guess so we must start looking for other drivers I guess ♦

who will be driving through slovenia?

Okay, I will count today as day 0, since I only played couple of hours.

Started off pretty bad, managed to lose 4 stacks on NL50 in 400 hands, but thats probably bcs I was finetuning HM and getting used to that super fancy software again. But in the end I managed to get it back, and also I played a 55$ MTT where I cashed 140$.

Played 4 hrs of cash NL50, 4 tables:

- 1600 hands
- $100 raked
- br @ $1059
- bonus released 7%

Jackalof Good luck fishing in the Pacific waters!

ty man, which one is me on that picture? ♦

TheLastNail Geeez.. u really left it for the 12th hour? well, yep, u wont be missing some motivation now ! c u in the car!

Haa, yea, its not fun if it is easy
Real men do it like this. (and probably lose their bankroll due to overgrinding) ♠_cry:

Primzi who will be driving through slovenia?

no idea, whoever wants... you?

Good luck fishing those Pacific Waters Earp ;D I have good confidence in you crushing the players there - while reaching your goal of Diamond

I'll have the beers in Hamburg pre-chilled ♦

BIG problem! According to Holdem Manager I paid $100 in rake yesterday but today, I contacted the support and they only registered $75...
So I guess I'll have to put my goals 33% higher

Played only 1400 hands today, I had some stuff to attend to.

Unfortunately, it was a breakeven cash session again, and I also played $55 MTT, where I busted quite early...

so here's how I stand :

BR @ 988
bonus releasing @ 18%
rake paid $100

if anyone is driving through slovenia and needs a diamond guest i'll volunteer :).

unfortunately i can't drive and i couldn't reach diamond if i played within my BRM :(. i'd love to be your guest though, it should be fun meeting all of the english community :).

OK, another not-so-productive-day-in-terms-of-rakemaking.
I had some bank/papers stuff to do again, its for my new car that I ordered, and which will hopefully arrive until the diamond party.
So now I finally gathered all the documents and I just wait.
And play poker. Finally.

Here's da update -

played hands - 1265
won money : $27.15
rake : thats a mistery obv , but I can only guess something like $70-ish

and atm I'm playing that same tourney from yesterday, the $55 one...

68 players remaining, my position is 13th atm.
40 is ITM, with $130 to be lowest prize.
But I'm going for teh final table

my br is @ $944 ,but tourney is yet to be cashed
edit: oh yea and bonus is @ 30%
edit2: shipped $130 in the MTT; BR @ 1070

@ Primzi - welcome to our fellowship

As much as I'd love to go, I think erptech deserves to go there more than I do (as well as he has a car), which means I'll be happy if you go instead of me as Thelastnail's guest :). Sometimes the Slovenians can be nice to croatians too, can't they :)?

No, no, Erptech will do it, bcs he wants to take his cousin! Right, Erpy? so Prizmi, u can go as my guest

Sooo...

Long time no see

What can I say. Friday, saturday, and too much alcohol.

Didn't play much , and there wasn't anything important to say.
If I would have to explain what I did over last 3 days, I could say it in one sentence. Played 2 hrs daily on average, took a shot on NL100, lost 6 buyins and had to deposit more money.
Yea thats right, I'm down $600, due to crap like this:

$0.5/$1 No Limit Holdem
5 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG ($99.00)
CO ($68.17)
BTN ($66.92)
SB ($99.00)
Hero (BB) ($95.15)

Pre-flop: ($1.50, 5 players) Hero is BB 5♠ 5♥
3 folds, SB raises to $3, Hero calls $2

Flop: 6♣ K♠ 5♣ ($6, 2 players)
SB bets $4, Hero raises to $10, SB calls $6

Turn: J♠ ($26, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $15.35, SB raises to $86, Hero calls $66.80

River: J♥ ($194.15, 2 players)

Final Pot: $194.15
SB shows: J♦ K♣
Hero shows: 5♠ 5♥

SB wins $190.15 ( won +$91.15 )
Hero lost -$95.15

However, all is not lost, bcs my remaining bankroll became available for deposit in the meanwhile, and now is on my acc in Pacific, the last $1800. (Well maybe not last, but hey... I always like to have something in the socks reserves )
I expect to release additional $200 from the bonus by the end of evening.

Now, my plan is to play NL50, maybe some super juicy NL100 table when I find one, and not to TILT when the splendid Pacific Poker software decides I had enough of play. 5 times in 15 minutes. ♠_confused:
OK guys back to mission, I think I only need 5k or so more strategy points, so over next 5 days I'm gonna be really busy. ♠_confused:

Update for yesterday and today (today is not over yet but i'm on a break);

played sad 2400 hands, winnings are $114 + released $200 from bonus

so that makes my BR to be $2250 ( -~$350 overall )

I sucked out twice today, managed to catch a 2 outer both times, and it somehow made me feel great.

Rake according to HM is $180 but I wouldn't bet my wife and house on that.

So far I think I managed to rake in something near $700, which is not so great and the chances of reaching the $2k until the end of the month are now really slim, however I still intend to play, and increase the number of hands if possible.

In the meanwhile I watched some vids about making notes and I'm taking NL100 more seriously now, and I can see some improvement.

If I by any wonder reach 3k bankroll mark by any time, I'll start multitable heavily (8 tables) NL100 until I drop back to 2.5k or reach the targeted amount.

K, I'm going back to Pacific waters now....

today i had a really nice day

I'm playing NL100 now, and with some luck if this upswing continues I'll reach $3k, which would definitely get me back in the race for diamond...

BR @ 2650
