4th in the $22 HU MTT

Ship it crucial. $365 closer to the goal. Also +$80 in 6max NL. It might be time for me to move up to $50NL. I still don't think my 6max game is that great, but I'm probably at least +EV in the 50 game.

Been a Good Week

So I've been moving around looking for a game to stick with. Heads up sngs were getting a bit boring. I decided to grind 1/2 limit during pokerstars big double VPP promotion. Because of that I was able to make platinum star. I have earned 13,552 VPPs this month. If I can keep up this pace I will make supernova pretty easily. But I earned most of those at double VPPs.

I played a few tourneys too, cashed in a few to cover buyins. Got a 4th in a HORSE tourney for $141. I used my FPPs to play 5400FPP 10man satellites to the Sunday million. Top 4 get a $215 ticket. I have won 3/8 of these so far. I think I should average 50%, but I haven't been running good in them. I decided to use one of the tickets to play the Sunday mil. I didn't cash.

After the VPP promotion ended I started playing NL cash. I grinded full ring a bit and decided I should be playing 6max. Here is my graph where the last one leaves off.


At this point I want to keep grinding the NL cash. Perhaps move up to $50NL 6max soon. I also like to play a few tourneys on the weekends. I played a satellite to the weekly $50k freeroll and I got a ticket. So tomorrow I will be playing freerolls with prize pools of $20k, $50k, and $100k. The $50k will have a lot less players in it. If I get lucky in any of these I could make a few grand. That is pretty good for freerolls.

I also should mention that I cashed out $400 to pay my bills. I will need to do this every month. I was up to $1701.91 before cashing out, so I now have $1301.91. I also have 5621FPPs which is worth about $100.

So things are going good. My goals are to make platinum star every month, and put in a few more VPPs some months so I can make supernova by the end of the year. Yup, I am going for supernova. If I run good and am able to move up supernova will be easy. If I run bad and have to keep grinding, well it will be a grind. Either way I will make supernova.

Update

I guess I can be pretty strange sometimes. I have started playing limit holdem cash games. I have been playing them for the last 4 days. most of the time 12 tabling. I have already made platinum star for the month.
Here is a graph.
I haven't been running too well the past 2 days, but no worries. There are some leaks in my game, but overall I believe I am profitable at this limit and amount of tables.

Fixing Leaks

So I played around 30 games today, even though I should be playing double time.

I did have a long talk with CWar from the 2+2 HU forums about my leaks. He thinks I am calling too many hands out of position preflop. This is probably the case. I can't overcome the disadvantage of playing out of position with a crappy hand. So I will make an effort to just let them go.

We also looked at what I could be doing wrong at the 50/100 blind level, since I have been losing chips at that level. The biggest difference between our games is how little I limp on the button. I fold too much when i should be limping. But to make sure my opponents don't attack my limps I will also limp AA, KK, and QQ. This will allow me to see more flops with positional advantage, and hopefully add to my winrate a bit.

If I can fix my leaks I will start getting some more $$$ and quicker. So hopefully I find more and patch my game up.

Took a few days off

Since it is the end of the semester, I have been hanging out with friends before they leave for the summer.

This means I will have to play 60 games a day for a few days. No problem though.

I Made Silverstar

I did make it to silverstar, hopefully gold star will happen for me this month. In fact if I don't make gold star I haven't played enough to complete this challenge either.

My BR has gone down a bit. But I am still rocking the 33s. One day I will win some races. Oh wait, that day already happened. Anyway, I am on a very standard downswing, so I really shouldn't be as bothered about it as I am. Yet I still am.
