Poker & Punkrock - The hard life of a Tour driver...

Yesterday I made a big mistake. I played on GG WSOP Express steps and on 10$ to 150$ ticket I was chip leader and 2 tickets and 68 $ for 3rd place. I thought we are just 3 people for end playing and forgott one guy already got a ticket because he reached 50k chips and automatically he got. That happened before the break and I thought he busted. In a bubble play I wanted 68 $ and lost all my chips for getting 3rd place, but that was sadly the 4th.
So look I just was simple stupid and lost 68 $ ♠_biggrin:

Today I played a MTT session. Only 12 tournament 18,86 $ buy-in. At the end won 11,36 $, so lost 7,5 $. Is ok and of course not cry about this .
I'm proud of this, sadly lost a coin flip AKs vs 99 but this is fair enough.

Here is some of my hand which knocked me out.

The most disgusting was QQ and the guy who called with his half of the stack Q5o. As I told in another blog, if there is too much bad players then more hard to winning.
I played some cash game on PLO2 and NL2 Zoom, but not too much.

Friday I try to play on Live Tournament in Bratislava 170 € buy-in for 250000 GTD. 30 min day1 and 45 min day2. Hope the best. If on Friday not reach day2, then I will try on Saturday too. This as always I pay from my TIP money and not hurt my bankroll.

It's true — bad players can sometimes win hands, but the better players win more of them.

Best of luck :gl:,

The poker is not a capitalism. Is much more different. Everybody's own choice to sit at the poker table.

A good day's work — congrats!

Your Villain in PLO2 with 2 pair was probably a Holdem-player. It´s really funny how often some PLO-Villains think that two pair are the nuts! Or many overplay the acies (AAxx) and think: Wow, they got the stone cold nuts - just to look into a set, nutstr8, full house or whatever. Gotta love those Villains!

Yesterday played 170 € Day1 in Bratislava. The tournament was very playful, 30 min blinds levels, blinds raised up slowly too starting chips was 40k. The average on the Day2 is 40 bb.
The 3rd level I raised 3 times in the row with some playable hands and one aggressive guy on the 4th raise made a 3bet and I jamed with AA he called with A8s and made me doubled up 81k.
One level later, because the table was very passive I limped in UTG with A7s, got a raise with 2 calls and I called too. Flop 568r after my check the aggressor made a small bet I called and turn was 4. On the turn I check raised all-in after his big bet, but long thinking he folded and show his 55. 95k chips.
After 6 level (3 hours play) got the next playable hand, AKo one limper I raised and everybody fold. 76k chips. I very love to play suited connectors and broadway cards too, but not got any. Q2, T2, 93, K2, K3, and so on.
2 levels later got AQo jamed and no caller 91k chips.
3 times goes all-in 99 and KQs AJo but just stolen blinds 133k chips.
2 levels later 2 times blind stolen 155k chips
And then got only dead cards and got AJo raised from 112k bb was 6k the small blind was allin with 3k TJo. Flop AK8 turn 5 river Q. Of course.
This time we needed 5 players out for ITM I had only 8 bb.
Only 2 players for ITM when I got a playable hand in BB T9s. Aggressive guy min raised to 20k I just called from 69K:f_cool: Flop 935, and I donk jamed, the guy snap called and showed K3s, nothing helped to him and doubled up. 128k.
The blinds was BB 12k ante 12k SB 6k lost 2 round and finally knocked out the last player and reached ITM with 52k which is 5 bb.
Sunday 16:00 Day2, I'm curios how much is the min cash, but I will try my best is depend how many the all player until Day2.

A chip and a chair that is all you need

I have that on a T-Shirt!

The Main event was very quick. First hand small blint T7o one limper and KT3 flop 2 turn K river and the limper made a bet on river. Maybe call was better option then fold, but never know. Next hand middle position raised 22k one call I jamed with ATo, raiser jamed too with 88 and we got 6 high board and I was walk to pick up my 425 € price.
I'm happy because reached the ITM again made 255 € plusz.
I bought new mainboard, cpu, memory a psu for my computer and spent all saturday afternoon and evening for build and install programms. First I was stupid and not connected all cable in to psu for mainboard and does not start, but later find the problem. Next problem was the external SSD with full my data and programms was restricted. Finally fixed too, but sadly somehow the roaming map did'nt saved and lost all my database for HM3 and DriveHud2. Later find on my laptop some older database, just lost hands from august.

Online played only daily freebie and won some money too.

Poker is one of the most capitalistic games you can imagine. We don't have to pretend otherwise but hey I wish you good luck in whatever you do.

Today played some hand on Poker Stars NL2 Zoom for promotion and setup HUD and the client. 2 times lost full stack vs 75s first with KK sencond with AA, but at the end won 50bb. Played some hand on GG too NL2 R&C with C$, there lost with QQ vs KK preflop allin.
After played my third poker site too on Coin Poker. There camed this hand.

That sounds like a pretty decent session — over 12BB/100 if I did the math right — and assuming that all 700 hands were NL 10. If lower stakes, then even better winrate!

Oh boy, what a hand! My AA got though today versus 66. Played them pretty much like you, took Villains stack, but it´s just simple statistics, as we know: AA makes it in 82 % of the times versus a lower pair.

I play on Poker Stars NL5 Zoom. Im 16 buyin minus now from 2022 July 35697 hand. This year I play a bit more concentrated and more tight, then before (18/13/3,5). My plan now, to reach 600 $ on Poker Stars roll and after level up to NL10.

I note a lot as I can, use my HUD and fold when I feel need to fold.
On this hand was a bit unfortunately.

Poker Stars has a price drop promotion and got 2,75 $ extra money and 75% process my first rakeback chest. Tomorrow I planed to play Last of Us Part 1 with my girlfriend she will look the game just for fun.
Next week thursday I go to work and come back home 17th november. I don't know I play some poker or not will see.

Nice haul from the price drop promo.
