The one poker thing that I am doing is getting through Daniel Negreanu's Power Hold'em Strategy book. It is a real good read. I am on Erick Lindgren's section on playing NL Hold'em online. The two most important things that Erick mentions when playing online is paying attention to betting patterns and then taking notes on those patterns for future reference. I have been horrible in doing that and will add that to my everyday playing tasks as I move forward in my bankroll building quest!
Full Tilt Beginning Balance - $38.90
$2.25 NL Holdem SNG - 9 players
I got my pocket QQ's chased down my AK on the flop after a all-in re-raise by me and go out 5th and out of the money.
$2.25 NL Holdem SNG - 9 players
Surviving all the way down to four players and the blinds rising I was forced to go all-in in middle position with pocket nines and the initial raiser with AK calls and catches on the flop sending me out of the money. Man I am not doing well in NL Holdem tourneys!!
$2.25 PL Omaha Hi/Low SNG - 9 players
I pretty much cruise down to the final three players after winning a couple of scoops. I then with my 3 to 1 chip lead push on the final two players and end up getting lucky a couple of times to take 1st place and a $9 prize.
$2.25 NL Holdem SNG - 9 players
I double on a few players right from the beginning and have a 2 to 1 chip lead on the rest of the table with 3 other players remaining. It is a battle for about 20 minutes and me losing my lead for a bit, but when I call top pair with my middle pair on a all-in bet for about 25% of my stack and my second pair hits I am left with only one player left and a 3 to 1 lead on him. We play for about 10 minutes when I am able to get him with my pocket Jacks when he goes all-in with a busted flush draw. I win 1st and a $9 prize.
$2.25 Omaha Hi/Lo PL SNG - 9 players
I struggle all the way through barely making it to the final three players and lose when I go all-in with A225 and finish 3rd and a prize of $3.60 when all high cards come out on the board giving the other player two pair.
$2.25 Horse FL SNG - 9 players
I start out slow, but then good ol' Razz comes in and I start building my chips. I get yelled and cussed at when I miss my low in seven stud 8 but go triple runner runner runner to get a flush a scoop the pot. That was the last pot that I would win for awhile. I end up barely surviving to the end when its heads up between me and another player who has me dominated with a 5 to 1 chip lead. I fight but end up taking 2nd and a $4.80 prize.
$.05/.10 Omaha Hi/Low PL Cash Game - $2.50 buy-in
I play to aggressive and end up having my AA2X shoved up my butt when a straight and no low comes. I lose the whole buy-in and decide not to buy back in. The game was a bit too big like I noted before and should not come back unless I can buy-in at least $4.
$2.25 PL Omaha Hi/Low SNG - 9 players
This game was soo long and everyone was playing so tight. I took advantage of this and raised almost every time from position. I ended up being about even when me and two other players remained. I played aggressive the whole way through and ended up taking 1st and a $9 prize.
$1.25 NL Holdem MTT - 45 players
I doubled up early and took advantage of position. However, after taking two beats, the last being my pocket Jacks versus AK and a Ace spiking on the river to exit me out at 11th and out of the money.
Full Tilt Ending Balance - $54.60
Well finally I broke the $40 barrier and the milestone $50 barrier today for the first time! Yippee! Next up is the $110 mark so I can start playing $5.50 tourneys and $2.25 MTT's.
