1.5k plo8 and cashgames

not rly much to update, busted the 1.5k after 6hrs and before dinerbreak. had a rly rollercoster start, started with 4.5k went down to 1.5 and blinds 50/100 to made it back to 12.5k in less than 1hour. then lost a huge 10k with aa33 on a106 flop, against some idiot how defended sb with k653 and floped the nfd and 35lowdraw, he check raised me on flop and we shipped it in... after that i made it back to 12 and lost fucking 14k pot with 100/200 blinds... all folded to the button, he was prty good player, raised 400 i made it 1.8 and he flated, flop came 24j with 2backdoors i potted he shipped a258... turn 3, dead!

after that i was able to steal a couple times blinds and stuff, before the huge chipleader opend button and i 3bettet pot with 16bb and akk4ds, he shiped it in with ak63 and floped j66 which was my last hand :(

cashgames arent running rly better, ran good first 75/150 session and won around 2.5k to stuck about 7 in the second one :(

bigo and bigeasy isnt treating me rly better, about even in these games. just started big easy last night, whichis 6card hi low! pure fun this game, 6cards are giving you just amazing options, and many people just overplay there hands so hard, which is imo rly nice to beat, way easier than fucking 5card hi low, where everyone just nits up rly hard.

for the coming days i planed to do some other stuff besides poker, like a trip to grand canion and a helicopter flight :), so if i survive the helicopter trip i post some pictures ;)

staying 12more days in town, so guess 6-7 cashgame sessions, and the 3k plo8 on my plan, updates coming on twitter :)

first tourney, first joke

just busted 2.5k stud8 minutes ago and rly feel joked. i had amazing tables both days, just the cards didnt worked well for me finaly :(

handled to make day2 with shortstack of 12k and 300 600 1,2k blinds in o8. not to bad imo, enough to play the game solid. started rly good and build it up to 20k afer i 5bet capped aa104 ds pre on the button and got 4way action... flop came j97 down, with the nfd for me and everyone called my c-bet... turn was q which was def not the best, but not the worst one, bc normaly they all have lowhands, maybe someone has a highwrap or something... whatever i bet and got just 1 caller... river was a 9 and he checked again so i was prty sure i had the nuts, betted it again and he folded.

after that i was almost 2hrs carddead, tryed to steal in stud8 hands when the spot was decent for it, like 25 open 6 in stud8 and 5people folded, i raised got 1caller and chased a 9 and a J against someone who open paird his Q. so that didnt worked out well that i became short and shiped my last 5k all in in o8.

bigstack opened utg i 3bet middlepos and fucking fish 4bet on button 6779 single 7hi suit. IMPRESSIVE!

whatever utg called i 5bet shiped it with AJ23ds. flop came Q104 with my nfd, utg checked button bet it utg called turn came a K so nutstraight, nfd for me, utg checked again button bet utg fold and he said i have a set and a flushdraw... i was like saying ok cool i have the nuts and a nutflushdraw...

he said ok damn, and just looked into his cards and said oh damn i just have flushdraw, OBV THE OTHER ONE WHICH CAME FUCKING UP ON TURN, river for sure BINKED...

i said friendly nh sir and my seat was open, lol

funny finaly, sucked for the moment...

2 days chilling now, on 26th, first plo8 tourney, the 1.5k.

First 2 days

not rly much happend at the first 2 days...

i just came here with 2k in my pocket in the hope my buddy brings me another 20 to just hear that some airport monkey took his money and hes not able to get it back before he flys back home, solid rules!

whatever, i managed to get some bucks to just stuck it almost all at the first few hands i played by stupid coolers in this fucking big0 game, which i tought was nice and easy to beat first. it just turns out, its a fucking nitfest, and just every1 is waiting for nut nut and hopes to play against a donk that just dont folds, like me.

whatever, finaly im stuck now about 3k in a 5-10/25 round, which is almost nothing, just 1 stack, always buying in with 2k. so for the next few days i think i play flo8 75/150 if im able to get some $ in my pocket...

friday first tourney, the 2.5k stud8, hopefully germany wins vs greece in quaterfinal of the soccer championship which is few hours before the game starts.

updating now twitter during the tourney and i guess i blog again in few days if anything blogable happens...
