Vegas was fun

I had a blast in Vegas with some friends from PSO.

I played only 2 tournaments, I bubbled in one and then I made tha final table in the other. Got paid a little over 2K. Also had some success at the Live Ring Games both at the Wynn and the Orleans. All in all, a good time.

Online news.
I still continue to play the speed SNG and was a winner this month again, after being down most of the month. I had a strong second half comeback to get me into the black.

Here are the stats for July:
Pokers Stars:
# of Tourneys: 46
% in the money: 43.47%
ROI%: 8.6%
Net Ammount: $259.50

There was one really sick SNG where I got really lucky in 3 different hands:
Check it out.

Ready for Vegas

Well the month of June was pretty good playing SNG.
I am ready for Vegas and plan to play a lot of sats to try and get into a bigger event.

Here are the stats for June:
Party Poker:
# of Tourneys: 10
% in the money: 50%
ROI%: 63.64%
Net Amount: $350

Poker Stars:
# of Tourneys: 107
% in the money: 44.86%
ROI%: 15.65%
Net Amount: $1005

This gives me a bigger bankroll to use on these sats.

Hope to see a bunch of the "Shades" at the PSO convention.
See ya there........

I think I passed the test

What a difference 3 days makes. I knew I was playing well and the poker gods have finally turned and gave me some luck.

I have played 14 SNG since then
1st) 3 times
2nd) 3 times
3rd) 3 times

Also 4 4th place finishes, which means I am always around the money and will still need to tweak some things to make me at least make 3rd.

Overall, I am Happy with the last 3 days.

Lets hope this continues...until next time.

I think I am being tested

Well June will be my month for mostly playing Sit and Goes, because I am going to Vegas in July, I plan to play a lot of 1 table SNG as sat's into bigger tourneys.

With this being said, I will also play some MTT's, but I do not think all than many.

I have been amazingly unlucky in the SNG as I have so far played 27 this month, with 3 wins, 1 2nd, and 4 rds, but I have had lets count them, 10 4th place finished, as everyone knows, you get zip, zilch , zero for fourth.

I have been getting some sick beat today...could it be the 06/06/06 curse???

Some examples just from today:
QQ < KJ
AA < JJ in a huge pot
AQ < J3
A7 < A4

And here is a fun one from an MTT today:

Worst Month Ever

Well May was pretty brutal in both cash games and MTT's. Not sure what is going on, but I know I am not playing as bad as the results. I have checked most of my tournys and have seen a huge amount of suckouts on the part of my opponnents.
Once again, I will have to play through it.

On a positive note my Turbo SNG game has been pretty good. I have been playing the Stars $55+5 Turbo for the past 2 month with the following results.

42 Tournies
ITM% 45.2
ROI% 29.6
Profit of $747
$35.53 Hr

I also had 9 4th place finishes, so if I can improve on those, I would be killing the game.

I may continue to play the SNG and lay off the cash games for a while.

Until next time....
