90 man sng pt 2

2009-05-24T16:03:00.000-07:00

The 90 man sit n go's on full tilt are still going great and im gonna stick to them for the foreseeable future , hardly any risk with decent rewards is what i need right now to build my roll up nicely , still running like shit in any mtt i enter , have only played the double deuce on tilt in the past 2 weeks and lost as 80/20 in both (see above for this weeks -20k pot DIAGF robinscott ) must change soon but i can't play anything better then the DD because i only want to risk 1-2% of my roll on a buy in so itll be $20 or less only untill i hit some kind of normality (normality for me is actually standing a chance as 80/20 fav maybe 1 in 8 winning eh pokergods?) anyways im running good in my sit n go's so im not gonna whinge to much , but a big win is coming soon i can feel it again ;-)

Build a bankroll

Been a long time since i've even fancied a game of poker , had a horrendous 2008 which seemed to consist of beat (poker) after beat (life) , but these things happen and i decided to take a break completely , only to return a few days ago on an old account on full tilt... I never really gave ft poker a chance before but since i needed a change from running real bad on pokerstars i've decided to give playing there a good go and am trying to build a decent roll playing 90 man stts , its going great so far just a shame it coincided with the mini ftops which i cant resist playing and or satelliting into , once this ends ill give the 90 man stts a really good go and hopefully post some impressive stats , like i say im off to a decent start and my sharkscope + graphs are posted below , bare in mind that that the swings are from playing sats to bigger events and knock my stats down alot if i lose ( and i lose many) but like i say once the ftops are over i believe i can crush these games and build a decent roll to ladder up and get back into the big sundays games , gl and i'll update soon......J

Quick edit!!! forgot to mention i play as _VOLCANIC_ on full tilt poker :-)

This is my quiet time regarding poker as i switch all my attention to the Cheltenham festival of horseracing , hopefully be back into full swing in time for the very good looking scoop poker event on pokerstars , I'll play most if not all of the small buy in events and see how it goes regarding the bigger buy-ins.......J

I'm going to spend a while at Ladbrokes Poker , it really is the easiest place to deposit and withdraw cash if u need it quick , i've played a couple of sessions of cash and the standard is a little better then when i left almost a year ago now , the small buy-in tournament level is appalling and the standard seems to have slipped a great deal from the decent little games u could get there ( good for practice) the worst culprit are the small high stack tournaments , great idea but the comps are awfull........

Seems to me that the player point tournaments might hold a lil value , so i'll plod along earning points playing omaha 8ob and hopefully have a nice score in 1 of the bigger prize ones.

No luck at all in the blogger and world record tournaments on Stars , no hands at all in the blogger and just lost patience waiting whilst the world record game i got aces once and picked up 75 chips and picked up a 530 pot with a royal flush (below) nothings really going my way lately but i'm certain itll pick up next year!!!

Thanks to a post on blonde poker forum , i've managed to get qualified for the World Blogger championships on pokerstars , i played in this last year and must say i thought the prizes then were excellent for a free competition but this year has excelled itself. They've changed the structure to several qualifying tournaments in different disciplines of poker and makes it more of a test to qualify as last year u basically just had to have a blog up and running , with great prizes up for grabs i can't believe i'd never heard about it but luckily have qualified to have a go and despite missing the 1st tourney hopefully can get into the main final.
Last year the prizes were great fun , ipods , flat screen tvs etc but this year pokerstars have raised the bar and the top prizes include a $13k carribean package among other things , well worth a shot even if the qualifiers dont start till gone midnight i'm keen to get going , i'll keep this updated with progress.....

World Record

2008-12-15T04:59:00.000-08:00

Just noticed in the Pokerstars lobby that they are going to try and break the world record for the largest field ever for an online poker tournament using the $10 200k gtd tourney i like to play, capped at 35,000 runners and with a guarantee of $500,000 leaving a potential of $150.000 overlay although i guess they will take off the restriction on runners once they have met their target and created the world record , i'll be playing it , it is on the 28th dec at 8 30 uk time and should be fun if a little like playing bingo ;)
