Morons everywhere

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

As I feared the bad streak did not go away overnight. Nothing interesting in the Aussie Million Final, I never got much in the way of cards. Had AA once which ran into…AA lovely split :( went out 11th with very mixed feeling, had hoped I at least got to play some.

Much better did the 50k go, I doubled early on KK vs AK and had it under control. I did beat a lowstacks KK when I called him with JJ and hit another J, sorry for that but not like I could ever fold when I have you covered 8 times.

Got moved to a new table and all went to pieces. Ill post the final hand here, you judge.the numbers in the ( ) is the order of the moves.
Note all action is on Flop in case you are in doubt how to read it.

Ive had it with this shit now.

bad streak

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I havent written much the last couple of week, mostly because its not all that much fun to post bad news. *lol*

Mostly I have been total carddead in any tour I play, the last 2 days though have been filled with horrible call downs to river where people then hit inside draws or runner flushes.

Culminating today in the late Deepstack, get JJ end raising 11 times BB, 1 caller, Flop: 10 5 5
Ofcourse the caller had 65 so I lost ½ my stack on that.

The I get QQ, again a lot of limpers so I raise high again, again 1 caller. Flop: J 9 8
Being low I just push and insta call ofc by Q10off

After that I gave up. That was just an end to horrible tours for a long time now..

Hopefully tommorrow is better, Since I have a tickets for the 50k and the Aussie Million Grand Final.
Lets hope my luck change overnight. :)

I donk with the best.

Had a nice run yesterday, started of with a 3rd in the 1250GTD 30$ entry, always a nice tour and if you stick to the +20 entry tours you avoid the worst donks. A bit later I joined the 60$ 3000GTD with the 1$ Dazzler 2500GTD and an Aussie Mil satellite as sidegames.

My 3k did not go that well and I went out without ever seeing the Final table, totally another matter on my sidegame though. I managed to secure my 550$ ticket for the Aussie Grand Final and won the 1$ dazzler which is a pure donkfest, only slightly less so than a freeroll. Nevertheless passing 276 people and netting 675$ for 1$ spend did feel rather good.

So beware, I donk with the best. ;)

Sidegames and 50k GTD

Monday, November 16th, 2009

A little better news than the ODM, not great though.

I often like to play “lesser” tours while I play a more important one, it has mostly to do with holding my discipline through a long tour.
So while I was playing ODM I had also regged for the 50k on PDC Poker and that one actually went a lot better.
Although I admid a lot was upto luck, mostly all ins at the right times kept me going, didnt really feel there was a lot of actual poker, except for 3-4 times, rest was all ins with good cards.
But I managed to hit FT as a low stack but pretty fast ran into a KK when I pushed my QQ, a guy with KQ also pushed and since he was lower than me actually netted me 1 higher spot ending in an 8th placing and 1000$.

A good placing but the fun was just getting started and the real money is top5 up so im not real happy with it I must admid. But what can you do but push QQ when low?

Online Danish Championship(ODM) Out

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Never really had any hands, but manage to hold myself around average in 5 hours, The I try to Steal with A8, 1 caller flop 883, but I end loosing 2/3 of my stack to 33. Guy called EternalAir.

After that I was really low and drifted, get KJ, 1 raiser I risk a call, but 3 others call behind me also.

Flop: K78

first guy check, so I move on it throwing in my last 5k.

But alas, EternalAir behind me insta calls, rest folds and he show 87off

Egon out of this years Danish Online Championship.
Placed: 125th

Online Danish Championship(ODM) and other stuff

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Did a couple of sats this weekend 1 for a 150k GTD and for ODM, and guess what? I managed to bouble in both.
That hurt but I will give ODM sat another shot tommorrow.

Other than that my Agame have been off a bit, a lot of outs around 1-5 places before the money this week.
Gonna have to look at my endgame a little closer. although the ODM sat I was semi low and went all in with KJ called by K10 and he hits the 10 ofc.

ODM will be tommorrow at 19.00, so we will see how well it goes.
Day 1 gonna be a biach though, 55 min blinds, 8 blinds to play, so im done at 3am if all goes well .

Yes..I am back

Sunday, November 15th, 2009
