So I Made a Final Table...

I woke up early Sunday Morning (fail) and decided to see what kind of tournaments were running over at FTP. I had a $26 token in my account, so I used it to buy in to the $15K Guarantee tournament that started at 10AM.

5 hours later, $379 score for 9th place.

I ran a crappy bluff when we were down to 15 or so... I tried a blind steal with Q4o, was called by the BB (LPP). Flop was K hi with 2 diamonds. He checked, I c-bet and he snap called... it was here that I put him on a FD. Turn was a blank, he checked, I fired again repping the K, he snapped again. River was a blank that completed a backdoor straight, he checked again... I shoved and covered, and he tanked then called with KJ. oops.

I nursed a short stack from that point on, made the Final Table with about 6BBs, and was the SB, found 74s, shoved into AT, flop was AT7... turn gave me a flush draw, but I missed on the river.

Since then, I am now at a point where I can practice good bankroll management and play the blogger tournaments adhering to those rules (first time in a long time lol)

I want to play 1/2 limit O8 or Stud 8, but there's never anyone playing... So i stick to $25NL, and tend to be the most aggro player whenever I play, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I dropped a little less than 2 buy-ins last night, mostly by getting it in with draws and missing... however, I hope that variance can kick in and allow me to do better.

I'll probably be posting more poker content on here in the future, as I found more motiviation to do well.

Back in the Swing of Things: 3rd in the Skillz

I made my return to Bloggaments last night in the Skillz series... taking down 3rd place after being in the Dank Position for most of the first hour. Some key hands vs. Numb and Chad got me a big stack, and I was hovering around the 8K mark for the remainder of the tournament, until a JJ < KK vs Numb sent me down, and pushmonkey's stubbornness for my bruffs cost me the rest of my stack. However, it felt good to be back in the game, and I will be playing The Mookie tonight.

Also, I am interested in starting up a regular game on Mondays again; I'm going to call it 'Monday Night HORSE', and it will start Monday, January 4, 2010, at 10pm. If anyone out there is good at making banners, if you can make one for this, it will be much appreciated. The Password will probably be 'mnhorse', and the buy-in will be $10+$1, save for an end-of-quarter tournament on the last monday of every 3 months, which will be a $24+$2 tournament.
