12/11/07: Lots-o-poker

I’ve played more poker in the last three days than in the past three months. I’ve been 12 tabling $1/2 on Stars and booked around 15k hands so far, plus about 40 or so tournaments. The cash has been going well although the last 4k hands or so I’m down 5 buy-ins, only two or so are bad play. Tournaments were very frusterating as I only cashed in 1 of the first 39. Then I won the a 30+3 for 4k so I’m up a bit from all that. Its crazy- I hardly ever just make a nice score. I’ve never gone deep in a decent sized tournament without winning it. No big 2^nd or 3rds or even a big final table. When I go deep in a big tournament, I’ve won each time. Which says two things- I play bad the beginning of MTTs and don’t go deep often but also that when I actually do make it there, I do pretty well. I’m actually super, super happy with my play at this FT. I honestly don’t think I misplayed one hand- everything just went perfectly.

I don’t really plan on doing much in the next couple of weeks. My friend comes on the 4^th and I figure then I’ll leave my apartment and see more of Bangkok. I really, really want to play a lot of poker and think I have a good shot of making some serious cash.

Oh, I almost forgot. I got into the staking thing a bit and thought it was pretty fun. I staked a guy for a $55 tourny, he cashed for a little bit so I staked him for the 100k tourney and antoher $55. He missed both of those though so I ended up down $200ish. It was pretty fun though and will def. do it again. I’m even thinking about starting a site so that I can better verify people and whatnot.

If you happen to read this, think you are a good at MTT's but for some reason don't have a roll, PM me on 2p2. Name is Rolon.
