Hey guys,

I said that the next time something interesting happened i would keep you updated.As im sure all of you know, on saturday on FTP there was a 5k buyin two day 6max tourney with 30min blind levels(amazing structure) and 2.5mill guarantee.I ended up having probably THE best tournament of my life.

At the end of day 1 i had 78k at 800 1600 and being 16/35 so i will still in pretty good shape.The last hand of day one i lost a big pot to below above(i woulda had 110k+ if that hand didnt happen) got AQo in small blind, he opened i repopp he flated flop Jxx he had QJ i lead he flatted, turn blank i check he checked, river K and i lead and he timebanked and called so that was a horrible way to end my day and i was pretty choked.

I woke up sunday and was pretty nervous, since this was a huge tournament. I was really excited but a little shaky, so i started off thinking that i would just play solid and tight for a while, but actually what happened is that i just immediately went into playing my game 3 betting and 4betting people with marginal hands and then won a big toss (my 88 held against AK) and within 5 minutes i was up to 155k and was off to a great start.

From there i just kept rolling, never got in any allins and just running over everyone and playing great.I ended up playing solidly the whole way and eventually losing Q10 to A9 at the final table for around 50bbs and ended up coming 5th for 137,500.At the time i was disappointed because i wanted the win obviously but a couple hours after i was really happy, was on a really really dry slump and that just made everything better.

I really loved playin this tournament because unlike other tournaments, it was just amazingly set up.I honestly got in 2 tosses the whole tournament, i won 88 against AK semi deep and thne lost Q10 to A9 as my last hand.I had one small suckout allin pre semi deep my KQ against QQ for around 20bbs(22k) and i had 110k behind so it meant nothing, i was NEVER at risk for my tourney life allin pre since 60 120 where i held AK against AQ for 17k, ever since then i was never allin for my tournament, and never tosses and just played my game and continued chipping up, i had around 100/200bbs+ througout the whole tournament and it was just a pleasure to play.

Unlike other tournaments in this tournament it didnt even require you to run well.I honestly ran average or worse then average throughout the whole tournament but it just didnt matter, i also ran AKcc into below aboves AA with 4tables left for a huge pot but i just recovered and kept 3betting and chipping up from there and got my chips back within half an hour.So it was just a pleasure to play and extremely enjoyable and a huge confidence booster for my game.Thank you to everyone who railed me, i really appreciate everyones support and gl at the tables(by the way i lost my chat on ftp for now thanks to michael craig, i didnt even do anything wrong or say anything bad we were just having an argument and he had me banned which is ridiculous, i have made an honest effort to be nothing but classy at the tables and is frustrating to get banned for doing nothing).Either way thought i will see you guys at the tables.

Hi everyone, i know i havent posted in a lonnnnnnnnng time but ive honestly had nothing to post about.No wins, no final tables, no cashes just NOTHING for the past 2 or 3 months.I can handle running bad because by now im obviously used to it.Today was the first time in my pokercareer that i FLIPPED OUT.Firstly i was getting pretty deep in the 40k on ftp(75$) it was 500 1k and i had around 25k stack so i was fine, folds around to me i have 86hh in small blind i jam into BB and he has 10bbs and he snap calls on 87ss and the kicker holds on a random blank board 87high wins for a 20k pot holdplz was at my table and the player who called”pghfan” or somethin like that kept saying was a good call and me and holdplz kept saying that it wasnt etc its an ez fold yadda yadda anyway the i wait for a round and i get 1010 in BB with 14k(1k in the pot) folds to small blind who has around 30k, i have 1010 in BB he min raises into me i jam for 14k more with 1010 he SNAP calls on J5o, blank flop turns the J and that was just GREAT and the table imediately closed to thats why i had to explain these hand histories.I have the rest of the hand histories i hope you enjoy.

First is 2 hands in the ftops(ppl play great)

Hey everyone, i know i havent posted again in a while…..i was doing pretty well 2 or3 weeks ago and won a couple 30r’s and some other pretty good finishes but since then i havent really done much.Lastnight(wednesday) i went deep in the quarter mill on stars and the 100r 6max on ftp and lost huge tosses in both AQ to JJ in the 320 and 55 to AQ in the 100r both pretty standard hands just rough to lose both of those around the same time but of course we all know thats poker and just part of the game.Anyway i will try to keep you updated as much as i can if i remember too, see you at the tables gl everyone.

Hey guys, just back again to give a little post, not about me because nothing really is going on for me atm just continuing to do absolutely nothing on stars which is getting frustrating….every tourney i go deep in i FT bubble, once again did in the 100r tonight which is pretty annoying but thats just the way it goes i guess.Anyway, onto my main point of this topic.I have been staking around 8 or 9 people for the last 4 or 5 months or so and it really wasnt going well……..i have some really solid players but most of them are in makeup by quite a bit and running really badly until a couple days ago when Bdybldngpkr(on stars) won the 5050 for 12.5k he was stoked and was his biggest win to date, and his confidence shot up a ton, the following day he won a small 3$ rebuy or something on ftp for 2500 which i found was really impressive.He msged me on aim asking if he could play on UB and AP to try to get a triple crown(he usually just plays on ftp and stars) and i said sure why not, might as well try you dont get many shots at it.So the next day he final tabled a 10k guar on UB and finished 2nd HU to a decent player who ran like god…..bdy was really upset saying it was going to be his only chance at it and just really mad(even though the money helped him out a lot).So i come on aim tonight and he msgs me saying hes 1/5 in the UB 20k……he played extremely well and ended up winning it for 5400 and the triple crown.Im making this obv as a brag post/to tell him how much hes improved and deserves the recognition he is going to get for winning a triple crown, sick accomplishment BDYBLDNGPKRPLYR pwnnnnnnnnns imo SHIPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, big weekend coming up so im going to get a good sleep, im sure ill see you guys at the tables GL.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hey guys, FINALLY i am back in it…….had been on the worst streak of my life, losing about 20 or 30k in the past couple of weeks, had 7$ left on ftp, 200$ on stars and couldnt depo anymore, and owed 10.5k to friends online…..when all hope was lost BOOOOM tonight i played one tournament, the 1k monday and i just won it for 86k.I played probably one of my best tournaments, and to be honest, my top 3 scores ever have come when i am only 1 tabling instead of my usual 4-12. This, the 300r 6max that i came 3rd in, and the 1k monday last year for 40k have all been when i have 1 tabled guess that tells me something.I will tell you guys a really funny story about early in the 1k monday.I got off to a good start had around 14k at 120 240 ish, i got AJ in bb and utg shoved for 3200 or something and i figured it was a good spot to race/be ahead.It folded to me and i called, he flipped 77 and flopped a 7.It was a little annoying to lose the toss but wasnt a big deal just a standard coin flip.Anyway, a railbird comes to the table saying send me 10$ and ill give you good karma!!!! i look into my account, see 17$, go back to the table and say: its ur lucky day railbird i sent you 10$ GL.He replies THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN I LOVE YOU etcetc YOUR GOING TO WIN!!!! GOOD KARMA FOR YOU!!!!! and someone asks me at the table if i usually do this and i reply by saying “no i dont usually but at this point im willing to try anything”.4 or 5 hours later, i find myself sitting at my desk having just won the 1k! coincidence? who knows…..all i know as i am glad that i helped someone out = ) not saying that was the reason i won, i just thought it would be a fun story to post. I havent posted on here in a while because honestly i have had nothing to post about, i was always frustrated or upset about the way things were going and right when i least expected it BOOM i win.Is just a lesson for everyone about poker or life in general….no matter how hard it is keep trying and eventually all the effort and hard work you put into something will pay off = )

Thanks for all the support guys, i really appreciate it.

Ill be sure to post again as soon as i can, hope i get some good replies.

Cya at the tables! Best of luck to all of you.

Hey guys,

I know i havent written in a while but to be honest i really havent had too much to write about.Im trying to grind along and keep a positive mindset but atm nothing is going right, which is obv part of poker.The ftops finished very disappointingly with pretty much nothing to show, came 12th in the 120KO with 6k ppl for pretty much nothing and that was the best that i could do and was very frustrating.The wcoop is coming up in a week or so, so i hope i can get on a roll and hope to get some strong finishes.Anyway, im starting a full session tonight and hope i can play well and maybe final table a couple tournies, would help alot since the wcoop is pretty expensive and need to make some extra money before it starts.Sorry about this short entry, im in 5 tournies right now that are just starting so it is kind of hard to concentrate on this aswell, i will write a better one tomorrow or later tonight.Cya

Hey guys

The FTOPS started today and my ftops challenge team was changed, so now i am on a team with bdbeatslayer and bhanks11 which are two extremely solid player who im glad to be on a team with. There were a lot of really big mtts and good chances to do well but nothing happened for me, just the usual…..the thing i went deepest in today was the ftops event 1 which i came 900th or something and 734 made the money so that wasnt very fun.I didnt cash a single tournament today but thats not a big deal, ive been on a pretty horrible streak lately and hope it will turn around sometime soon. I am really excited about the ftops, it is always a lot of fun and it should be even better this time around with the team competition etc. Bdbeatslayer(magikstick8) went really deep in event 1 and busted in 90th or something lost QQ to JJ for a hueg CL in the tournament so that was pretty disgusting but that happens in poker all the time obviously, just wasnt a great time to lose a pot that big = (.The website for the team contest is http://ftops.pocketfives.com/….. starting tomorrow when it is fully updated, our team should be in first….but that doesnt really mean much since there are around 14 or 15 amazing teams and it should be a really close/tough competition and im looking forward to it.Anyways im going to bed now and ill see you guys around the tables im sure.Goodnight.

Hey guys, i just got back from a buddys house and looked at the “comments” to one of my posts and it honestly made me laugh….i will copy and paste it so that you guys can see how commical it is

y0 str8 up ur ugly s —- w0w u must get no bitches haha at least u got money right? sucks to b a virgin though mayb ull run better with grls when u go through puverty cuz u look like an 11 yr old bitch. cracks me up that you swear youre so0 cool though ahahahahaha not

It honestly makes me laugh when i read stuff like this, i know i am new to this and by doing this i agreed and knew that i would get some strange people who would be jealous/criticise/hate on me because of how i am doing.I have honestly worked SO hard on my game put in 1000’s of hours non stop grinding to get my game where it is today so that i can have the success that i do. I was going to get mad or start bitching about this “comment” but then i realized….HOW HORRIBLE does ur life have to suck, that you have to go on a online poker forum to boost your ego and make ur 1inch cok feel bigger to randomly make fun of/berrate someone that you dont even know that you have never met or anything like that. This person has never seen me, never talked/met me in any way and bases who i am on an old/obviously crappy picture which i previously appologized for because it was teh only one i had and ryan needed a pic for my profile so i didnt care and just gave him this one.I honestly feel bad for the person who feels like they have to do this to boost their own confidence and it is really pretty funny.”mikey” or w.e ur name is i feel sorry for you bro…you have a lot of growing up to do…..try not to be such a fking prick, might help you out in the future because the way things are going the outcome doesnt look to good for you(and by the way with all of ur talk, i think we all know that u are a PURE player and get all the chicks in the world LOL, did u get a peck on the cheek today and are proud of it or what? lmao)sigh…… on the other hand, i also realized that for every disgusting person, there are usually 20 or 30 really great/and supportive people.I really appreciate all the support/rail that you guys give me, it really helps alot and i hope that you keep it up.If you ever see me at a table feel free to say hi or anything like that because i will talk to you/help you or give you advice unless im in like 12 games or just tilting like crazy ; ). Just wanted to point out how sad/low some people get and its pretty pathetic actually.Anyway im off to bed, got the weekend coming up hopefully i can work hard and put in a good weekend of solid play. Thanks guys ill talk to you later.

Hey guys…..sorry that i havent written in about a week but nothing really is going on. Havent really had any decent scores for a week or two so im just continuing to grind along hoping to get another score. The FTOPS is coming up in about a week which is pretty exciting, i always love the competition and the new tournies so it will be fun, and hopefully can take a good run at it. P5’s is having a ftops competition/someone setting it up on P5’s and its a 3person/team and 2kbuyin each*6k total obv* and my team is me, Moorman1 and Willcutyou. Who are both very good players and i hope we can take a good run at it and take down the prizepool because its going to be pretty big, but there are some other great teams so it will be tough but i think we can pull it off : ). Anyway…im going to continue grinding along and ill be sure to update you if/when i get a decent sized score. Thanks for the rail etc i really appreciate it. Gl guys.

OK so…….my sunday eh.

Sunday started off like all sundays waking up early, having a good meal…..and getting ready for a LONGGGGGGG day ahead. The first 10 tournaments i played just got 2 outered in every single one and i was pretty tilted but realized that there were alot more huge tournaments to come so i regained my focus, had a little break, and came back ready to play. The first tournament i got deep in was the 100r……i came 12th and 70k for first so i was pretty hurting….lost A4 to 1010 for solid stack, i reshipped the buttons open raise from small blind he called, flop KQ2, turn A river J…..which is even worse than anything else….just let him flop a 10 and its over but when stars gives me hope its pretty frustrating. At the same time i pretty much busted every other tournament i played. I then was in nothing but registered in teh 200r which is the last tournament i play every sunday, i was just going to unregister for it because i was really tilted and didnt really feel like playing but stars wouldnt let me because of their little rule. Anyway i ended up coming 3rd for 27k, which would normally be YAYY WOOOT….but i can legitemently say, and a ton of people were watching to back me up on this. I dont think i have ever said this before but i LEGITIMENTLY ran BADLY at the final 2 tables, following are 5 hand histories or so of huge hands that i lost at the final table and final 2 tables. I am still pretty happy because i have been on a really bad streak lately and down a lot and owed some people money so this really helped me out a bunch.Hand history time YIPEEEE.They are fun so be SURE not to miss them.

The first one against cdbr, who imo is not a good player and ALWAYS sucks out on me BUT i got revenge on him later held 88 agaisnt his A10 to bust him on the bubble : )

From there i had 2bbs and somehow miraculously made johnny bax fold his BB to me for 2bb’s which doubled me up, stole once, doubled once and then Held AA to Q8 and stole liek 10 more times and was in 2nd place when the final table started. I was playing very well and playing solidly until 3 handed when….im not gonna lie FOT and the other guy actually ran like god so i had absolutely no chance of beating either of them it was just impossible as u will see from the following hands.The first one pretty much my tournament and pretty much suicide.
