Cardschat Bodog $5 buyin - 2nd

Played another game on Bodog tonight - Cardschat $5 buyin with $162 tournament ticket added for the winner. 14 entrants & have to say I pretty much hated it, LOL. I can't stand that site now that they're 'anonymous' & are unable to take any player notes. What a joke! Managed a 2nd for a measely $22.00 but this will afford me more buyins to play in 4 more of these (I just want to win the ticket). Would be cool if I was to actually build up enough on Bodog to make another healthy withdrawl off of there... cuz I hate that site & have invested only minimal $'s on there ($50 initial deposit, have taken off $750). No plans of playing anything else on that site aside from maybe 'pts. to cash' tourneys so I can squeeze out a few more bucks (or that 200pt. satty to the $7,500 freeroll).

A few small priv. cashes...

A few small priv. tourney cashes this past week, nothing significant. Also played a handful of tourneys on Sunday, across a few sites but ran extremely bad while getting it in great (I'm talkin' REAL BAD.. but who wants to hear about that?... pff.. boring). It's nice to know there are still sooooo many bad players who don't seem to be able to think & are willing to get it in bad ... often. Played the 'Poker10' game on PartyPoker again. It was actually a decent tourney with a handful of solid players in it (maybe it was just table selection as I'd heard from a friend that his tables were full of loose fish, 'wants to see the flopszzz'). A handful of them on my table I had prior notes on, many of them 100 & 200nl players with decent stats. Made for a more interesting game & structure is pretty decent in that tourney (probably better than any of the other priv. tourneys I play in... there's actually room to 3bet light in later levels... something that is unheard of in most games where it's raise/shove/fold mode in no time). With 4 players left, near even in chipstacks (top6 paid), Top3 also won a Soccer Jersey. I got it in from utg with AQ... BB calls w 88. Flop Q-T-2 rb, turn '8'.. ugh!!! :( No jersey for me. This cash helped to bring up my 'no deposit' PartyPoker account to ~$120.00 (started off on there awhile back with Free $25 from PokerNews site... have only played ~5 regular $6 deepstack tourneys (no cashes) & 4 or 5 private tourneys (cashed in all but one of them). Almost have enough on there to start adding in some $6 & $10 mtt's regularly (they have smaller fields & players are mostly real bad).

Ugh! Continue to run bad in CC games

I continue to run bad in the Cardschat games, actually got 4/4 bubbleboy (must be some kind of a record?)... 4bubbles in 4days! ffs. Then a 5th (1 off bubble & today a 7th.. when my AT < A9o aifp.. sigh). Played Sun.Storm, Big$11, $10-$5,000GP WillHill & $10 PokerTube WillHill. Ran into the most ridic suckouts in each (aipf.. stuff like, guy limping utg w 65s & then calling off to 30bb shove?.. I flop K w AKs.. he rnr rnr me.. sigh). OFC $5 buyin with $2,000added on PartyPoker, lost to runner runner gutterball, vs. 33 flopped set, to finish 15spots out of the money. Only tourney I cashed in today was the Especial Poker10 $5 with $250added on PartyPoker, taking a 7th of 61 entrants for $30.52. Puts us at $498 so far this year for priv. tourney cashes.

After a few BUBBLES I pick up a 2nd in ITPLiga on Titan

Managed to put in a couple days in the past week where I was able to play 10 tournaments in a day (Sunday) & was goin' deep in a few but ended up goin' out in 22nd in the $8-$12K on PokerStars & 237th in a $4 mtt that had ~9,000entrants. Better than the min-cashes I'd been mostly only getting. Still doing terrible in the Cardschat games... mostly on account of badbeats & just standard stuff getting KO'd while ahead & one time by a cooler AQ < AK aipf. But last three CC games I've been the f'n bubbleboy (Bodog out in 4th, BlackChipPoker bubble again & then today once again bubbleboy in the CC Carbon freeroll (AJo < A5s... A5s held by about the biggest fish I've seen on those tables in quite awhile). Got me to thinking, "why even waste the screenspace in them when I could be focusing on better games. Quit spreading myself thin by playin' that shit". We'll see if I can listen to myself now, lol. Today I managed to pull off a 2nd in the $5 ITPLiga on Titan for $61.50 & final-tabled the $10-$6Kguar. (9th of 591). Damn... so close to a 4-figure cash on there today but wasn't meant to be. FinalTable bubble losin' 99 < KJo kinda sucked.
