Ship it. Maybe I'll wake up this time.

[frob23]

I am registered. I am going to run out to a store with my girlfriend but I should be back before 1. If I am not back right at 1, I should be back shortly after. I just don't want to be back at 1:06 and be unable to register because it's a turbo and it's no longer the first level.

But not because of the hand, because afterward GrumpyGit actually decided to tell me, "It's not good to min-raise" after the hand.

I actually lol'ed.

[pokerbucket]

such bad luck dew... you played really well this week

[C8H10N4O2]

such bad luck dew... you played really well this week

Lol, it's fine... my AK vs KQ held up, and my AQ vs TJ held up. So I did have two all-in hands hold up, granted AQ vs TJ was not for virtually my entire stack like the KK and JJ hands were. It's always fun despite the results.

I did lose that surprising flip early on that sort of crippled me, but then I worked that back, and 80% and 70% edges just weren't on my side when I really needed them.

[ballboy75]

YEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, i made 30$$$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you so muchhh guys, im so thrilled. i finally managed to make some money to build up my bankroll, thanks to you guys. i reallly appreciate it. dont think that im gonna leave the forums just because i made some money, ur gonna have to kick me out in order to get rid of me.
im worried ill lose it now, what should i play?


Dew, though luck bro, some pretty nasty bad beats you had there.

[C8H10N4O2]

In before busto.

But seriously... play the lowest stuff you can.

[ballboy75]

i felt especially bad for you Dew when DABULL called your all in with Q7 against your JJ and got trip 7's on the flop.
i cant criticize since it paid off for him.
congragulations NICEDABULL!!!!
hope to see you next week.

oh Dew, in that hand where i said i had you beat, when you folded, i had pocket 7, the board was 2 4 10 if i remeber correctly, i want gonna let you get away with that one, it had my name on it

LOL, fair enough. You got what you wanted, well done. I cant say it done me any harm though, it was educational watching you get punished

[frob23]

Twice in a row I've gotten last place now. Of course, I am not unhappy with the hand I went out on. Actually, as the tournament progressed and I saw more and more hands, I was even happier. I may have gotten in on a hand that was close to a coin flip on the flop... but considering the range of hands I was probably up against, I feel confident it was a +EV call.

I'm still not happy with it but that's the way it is sometimes. And I am happy with my overall stats.

Oh come on! I wasn't upset about today's tourney AT ALL until I saw frecklers and I were tied... now I'm on tilt

Lol

I'm not doing particularly well in any games right now. I'm running pretty bad in cash and tournaments. I am up this month, bankroll wise, only because of an early PTOTW tournament and the Take 2 promotion. Of course, neither of those are counted in my stats. So my recorded numbers for this month are currently horrific. I think I am $37.95 in the red, right now, for the month when counting ring games and tournaments together.

Oh well, that happens. I have my up months and my down months. And, so far, the up months are out-running the down months enough to keep me well in the black.

[ballboy75]

that aint bad at all Frob, that just over a dollar a day.
what stakes do you play? what level tourneys?
you can make that up in a sec.

Lol

LOL, nice big hint at how unlucky you were. Can you really not see why min raising is not good?. FWIIW I said it in jest, I should've added : )

See it as history created and look forward to next time

[frob23]

Depending on my mood and the site, I play from 2NL ($0.01/$0.02NL) to 10NL ($0.05/$0.10NL) Hold'em and sit and gos from the $1-$5 range. Many of my losses this month came from 10NL so it's less than 4 buy-ins total. And a few of those were bad beats and a couple others were probably the result of me losing one or two flips more than I should have mathematically. There will be other months where I end up winning a few more flips than I should and those months I'll be commenting about how hot I am running compared to normal.

Still, I have run really bad this month. I know it will turn around, in time. I will make it back eventually.

[gerhardt]

tx for all the congrats..
I enjoyed it .. got most of the cards good t/day.
Sorry for whoever got in the "bad".
looking forward to the next one.

...im worried ill lose it now, what should i play?

I would advise you not to be in such a hurry to spend it so quickly. How about keep posting like you have been doing, and build a starting bankroll from PTOTW tournaments, then with more money, you will have more options of what to play and not have to worry so much about losing your whole bankroll.

I would say make a promise to yourself not to play until you reach at least $100. Once you reach that goal, then you can set yourself some bankroll limits and keep yourself stable to where you can play a good bit but not worry about going bust if you lose a time or three.
