AA UTG first hand in a low buy in MTT - All in?

Nope. I'm playing it just like I would any other good hand. But I might make it 3xbb instead of 2xbb from utg just to put more money in the pot and make it easier for a re-raiser to call my shove.

Well I'm pretty much done playing poker for the month...

My volume was way lower than I wanted (only 127) but that is still way up from where I have ever been before.

My 4 tabeling has been going pretty well, still no where as well as I was doing only playing 2 though (Maybe consider dropping to 2 if with like 10 games played your in position to finish high on the leaderboard.)

I reached my 2% and am actually at 1% until I moved up and am now back at 2%

I have enough to comfortably cashout if I choose to.

I've played solid poker

And I did ok at school also. Not a bad month.


# games : 127
ROI: 41.7%
ITM: 51.6%
$: +201.1
$/hr: 5.98

And I think those are actually a little better than they appear in HEM because I have been playing knockouts and I don't think it records bounties.

Oh, and I am registered for the Battle of the Planets 50k Shootout so wish me luck!

Final hand of the 1st round... heads up, me vs supernova elite acoimbra

I have JdTd villain raises to 150 I flat

Flop is Ad7d4d

I check to villain, who raises 200, I repop to 500, he shoves I insta call

flips over pocket 4's and turns an A for the boat....

wanted to whine, but that's poker and I would have shoved in his shoes, still though getting heads up vs a supernova elite and playing decently is pretty cool.

Monthly recap:

1) play 100 turbo STT's. not even close, I've got like ten, not counting league games lol.
2) move up to the $6.50 turbo's on Full Tilt. I've started playing the $3.40's on stars, will stick with those for a while. Thinking about doing a volume challenge next week.
3) pass all my classes! so far so good! I've got 4/5 grades back, 3.25 GPA for the semester, which is a miracle for Chemical Engineering.

Fortunately, I've played well in the league games, I hope for that to continue while I am still available.

I dont really want to make any plans or goals this month. work is, as usual, ridiculously busy, so if i dont feel like playing i wont.

but here are some side goals for the month

1.Play 150 MTsng 45 man's, for a prob bet..
Nope, 83, I didn't really have a full month to play them though, due to internet troubles. sigh. finished $-27 which isn't bad considering i lost about 25 of them due to being disconnected.
2.Get a good screen recorder and post a video for 9 man sng
Yep
4.stop wasting time playing side games like 8 game, i really enjoy them, but im not that great at the games.Yep
5.Start playing some sattelites into big MTT events.One, the sunday million, finished in bad shap
6.Get more points for the team in the leagueDidnt really have a good month on them, due to being hungover/playing bad etc.

If you want a side bet for the volume goal let me know :D. Would be good for everyone.

Lets say we all play 250 3.40 sng's on stars, prop bet of $25? Anyone interested? We will go by sharkscope stats, which i can provide

Well, May wasn't too bad of a month for me. With rakeback (~$46) I cleared pretty good. For June, I'm gonna try to stick to $3.30 SnGs only, no cash games. I'm gonna allow myself to play only $3.30 6 seat UT, both full stack and short stack (300 chips) and I'll probably play some tournies as well (up to $5 buy in unless I satty into one higher). I keep a really nice ROI on SnG's but usually end up killing myself in cash games. So, if anyone catches me playing cash games on Absolute (screen name krokieman126) post it in here with screen shot and I'll send you $10.

Here's my graph for May.

Nice graph DG!

I still didn't have a profitable month - but feel pretty confident that June will be good with some help from my new coach.

That's actually exactly what I was thinking, lol. I don't know how long you would want the bet to last, pretty much I was gonna challenge myself to play 250 of the $3.40's between Monday the 7th and Friday the 12th. If you wanted to make it a little longer that'd be fine with me.

Were you thinking just a volume bet, or did you wanna go by highest ROI?

Wow, between just those dates? i was thinking a total month bet, but im fine with getting them done by the 12th. I was thinking about posting this in the challenge to get more people participating

I think 250 of the 3.40 turbos, you have till end of month, prob bet of like $20. seems reasonable. And go by highest ROI, or Total profit, either one really. total profit is just as easy.

That all sounds good to me. I'll just get the majority of mine done by next week. After the 12th, I'll be out in the boondocks, and finding time to play will be very hard for me.

So 250 of the $3.40's, to be completed by the end of the month, judged by highest ROI, $20 side bet. Posting this in challenges sounds like a good idea, too.

Wasn't sure if I needed to post in the new one or the old one since I was talking about both months. LOL

Thanks Dakota. And Belgo, I'm positive I run hot. I doubt keeping a 40% ROI is very doable.

Yea, its definitely my best month playing SnGs so far, and I think its a little better than it actually shows because all I play are bounty tournies and I don't think it records all the money i make from taking players out

Not sure if it does. I know you can set it up for rakeback, but no clue about bounties. I had a great month myself, but blew it all on cash games. In the June thread I'm giving away $10 every time someone catches me in a cash game.
