Wow I cannot believe that it’s been so long since I posted a blog. I have written some quick blogs here and there over the last month but I have been sick, tired or busy and never got them completed or posted.
Anyhow for all you out there I am staying alive. If you follow me on twitter or face you probably are under the impression that I am on the biggest down swing ever but I am really just frustrated with how the last two months have gone. A lot of break even poker with tournaments, and a lot of missed opportunities. These things are going to happen when you add tournaments into the grind but I have two tournaments this month where I finished third being by far the best player in the game, and a final table bubble in the Sunday major on iPoker. The iPoker game was the Sunday that just passed; I came 11th for ~1500 and first was ~45000.
Graph is going to follow, the down swing at the start was me trying to grind threw a super cold. I was sick from about December 27th to January 9th. Since I had high goals for volumes, profits, life etc. I did not want to get behind the ball so I got grinding and instead I got myself into a whole. These things happen. Anyhow the tournaments have been going better (near as expected without the wins) thought I would get in more volume but it’s been a challenge adding other networks and games.
BUT
ADRENALINE RUSH IS ON….
FTP has come to my rescue and released Adrenaline Rush (ADR). It’s a 10bb cap game with no call buts. I LOVE IT. I mean who wants to call in a cap game anyhow. There was snap up roar about this game when it was released;
“is it beatable after rake?”
“10bb is solved”
“Stupid gamble blah blah blah”
Anyhow in the end I am sure that there will be an edge to be had. There is a special promotion on at the moment for knock outs so I know that there are more players in the pool, but I am really hoping that this game takes off enough so that I can run it with my tournament schedule and grind something simple with some good rakeback.
While I mention the games being beatable I managed to go on an epic down swing to start the games. But like I say “You can’t keep a good man down” and I have managed to grind my way out of that nasty 50+bi down swing. All that down swing proves is how exceptional I am and out of the normal 95%. I thought for sure that I was going to drop below that worst line until Tuesday. Things are looking up, happy with the game, and ready to put in some sick volume next week.
Red is the guy who runs the worse, reminds you of anyone
Tomorrow I think that I am going to try and play 10k hands and see where I am on the knock out leader board. Playing at half pace I am inside the top twenty so I think that I can make a charge for a top five spot.
Going to keep this short, and will get a post in before the next thirty days, probably more like five.
