losr another 66 percenter

I am now 4 for 5 in having to pay for credit card roulette. Running bad everywhere at the moment.

can i please get a break?

Level 6 was going along well. I had just owned a circuit regular on my best hand from vegas yet. It was a limp pot to my BB and we took a flop 3 way. I had T7 and the flop came T53. SB and I checked, the limper bet, then the SB checkraised. I 3bet knowing he will put me on 2 pair+ and he turbo mucked KT face up. Owned.

But then things fell to the worse. I folded for two orbits not seeing an ace or a king. In the sb I finally got 99 and raised. BB calls and the flop came A66. I bet out, and he raised. He shows JJ when I fold. Basically played his hand the worst way possible. Very next hand I get KQs and raise to 1800 over 3 limpers. The SB instantly bet pot and I was again forced to fold. The next hand after that I pick up 77. It is folded to me in the cutoff and I raised it to 1400 leaving me less then 5000. I get 3bet AGAIN. I am steaming at this point, but looking at my table position I didn't know how I could fold. If I fold there I'm fucked anyway as they are just going to run me over. I decide that if I jam and win the pot not only will it put me back up to 12000, but it will slow down the aggression over my bets.

So I jam and he calls with TT. Door card is a ten and I'm back on the rail.

It is positive that I'm building stacks early, but whenever I get to that 10000 mark I just seem to hit a wall. Just gotta keep hammering away...

chillin at second break

Pot limit is definitely slower then no limit. There are no antes, so there is much less incentive to steal blinds. Instead I have been Three betting much more and forcing the loose openers to pay.

I've been super card dead, and have been able to get away with reraising. In the last level I opened maybe two pots, but I 3bet four times. I am headed into the 5th level (200-400) with 7000 chips and plan on staying the course. If they continue to let me come over the top, then I have no incentive to do anything else.

getting a hang of pot limit

I spent te better part of the first level getting used to pot limit, and I feel I understand the game now.

The first few levels were somewhat uneventful. I doubled AK vs A5 all in for 3500, but besides that it was just a grind. I got as high as 8000, but just lost a 4000 pot with a draw to end the 2nd level with 5500.

1500 plhe

I am playing the noon $1500 pot limit event today. Play starts in a moment so I have to get seated.

bustoo

By level 6 300-600-75 I had pushed my stack up over 10,000 and felt like I was in good table position. A bit of colddeck sent me to the rail and most likely to the bar.

I opened the hi-jack to 1800 with 55. The big stack to my left smoothcalled on the button and we saw the flop heads up. Flop came K42 and I led 2600, which he again smoothcalled. From his previous play I was pretty sure he did not have a king, as he would have put me all in. His range of hands was 22-TT or 4x. The turn brought an Ace. I figured this card could have only helped him if he floated me with Ax, and I did not want to check/call and get busted by 66 or whatnot.

So I moved in and he called pretty quicky with A4 and sent me to the rail. Sometimes your reads are perfect and it still doesn't matter.

There is an event everyday this month, but this one still stings.

dinne time

We just made the dinner break, and I'm sitting at 9000. My original table broke and I got moved to a tale that was much much deeper. There were 4 players over 10k so I expected dome action.

I restole all in twice to get my stack to 7000, then I had someone bet 1000 and then fold to my raise with only 800 chips left. He is your definition of dead money.

Right now I get a chance to relax and grab some food. We are on an hour and a half break, and dont get started up again til 9.

blah at second break

The three nits on my left busted right after the break, and were replaced by internet players. My table is now one of the worst I see around.

During the last level the antes kicked in and I was looking to pick up chips. Unfortunatly I went super carddead and was forced down to 4500 chips. Next level is 200-400-50 so I'l have to get something going quick.

playing at first break

At the start of the 2nd level I finally got my seat, but it wasn't what I was expecting. We wew supposed to start on new tables with all new players. Instead we got fucked and Harrahs just moved us into open seats on existing tables. That means we all started at a disadvantage.

I lucked out, though and got the Jesus seat at my table. To my left are 3 huge nits - to my right are 5 huge fish. The only decent player is 4 to my left, so I won't be playing many pots with him.

I am going into level 3 with 6000 chips. The gameplan is the same as always, and I'm going to try to build to the chiplead. So far I've played risk free winning what everyone doesnt want. Hopefully they contunie to let me abuse them.

alternat update

Looks like I'll get a sea within the first hour of play. I'm 260 on the list out of over 800 registered alternates. Play will be pretty fast with only 3000 starting chips so I'll be gambling early.
