In. Gonna try to satty into the Mohegian Sun at Pocono Downs $1100 Pennsylvania Poker Classic. Also hoping the Poker Clubs location change doesn't effect the tournament sizes.

weird start to the month

played 2 sessions today, first one i bubbled a few tourneys, fired up again tonight. frustrating session, i busted out of the 5r 10k in pretty frustrating fashion with a big flip for ft. i came 2nd in 33 6max 10k, after owning the last 18 i managed to lose it heads up in a combo of unfavourable rivers and flops and tough spots. dont think i played bad HU but equally going to def review it, after that i was sitting pretty in 11r only to stack off far too deep into KK, i knew the minute he jammed that i should have 3bet/folded rather than 5bet/call. but blah.

mate of mine ft the mill today so im pretty motivated to improve and keep grinding.

I can't even suck-out on anybody without getting bent by the turn or river. I know these are normal beats, but it has been like this for over 2 weeks. Just not running good.

Was going to start to rant about my good play not paying off, but then my luck turned.

I hope I can hold on to my good play now, cause I cant really afford tilting.

I know don't make much sense to shove there, but those two had been limping or min-raising every hand.

Most poker I have played in one day in quiet some time. My BR went from $6.70 to $34.91. Won't be playing much at all the next two days.

Nicely done. I find myself in a similar position, but my plan involves trying to grind the 0.02c 990 hypers and the 0.10c 360 turbos.

Don't put that pressure on yourself Blue. Maybe it will work for you but any time I put extra pressure on myself it all goes horribly wrong on me and I end up pissing $ away. Good luck sir.

Yea maybe just aim for 100+ games instead every day and then make a judgement about if I play everything that I'm able to based on how that goes.

Good-luck, grinding the micros can be frustrating but if you can get in volume you should be fine.

I needed a good day, got that MTT stake 5 days ago and ran terrible until yesterday. Still hard knowing I was four spots away from a $100 cash, but just glad to have a good day finally.

1st hand should be raised pre. You'll be going to a flop multi-way OOP which sucks with AQ.

2nd hand jamming 30bb is pretty bad. Your jamming range in a spot like that should be non-existant.

2nd hand jamming 30bb is pretty bad. Your jamming range in a spot like that should be non-existant.

So why should I raise pre in the 1st hand but not the 2nd hand? I have the same hand in both, and plenty of BB's in both (75 in the 1st, 30 in the 2nd.)

I don't regret anything with the 2nd hand, guy had been limping and raising a lot, plus the only 4 hands your dominated with facing AQ in a pre-flop all in is queens, kings, aces, and AK. You have a flip with all pocket pairs below queens, and your a big favorite against all the weak aces. I got it in good (only a 24% chance I lost the hand) but the guy hit runner runner.

1st hand your right, should have raised pre.

he means your too deep to outright jam and as a result you lose a ton of value, its essentially telling him that 'I have a value hand' when you jam 30bb, so 3bet/call instead, that way he jams wider than he calls your shove.

Finished 5th in my 1st satty to the Mohegan Sun Pocono Downs $1100 Penn Poker Classic but only 3 spots paid :( Thought I played very well for never getting a FH, Flush or ST8 and only one 2P in all my hands. Busted out on a typical race, my A6s vs 55. Hope to try at least one more satty.
