Thursday ponderings

Posted by swljuggernaut on November 8, 2007

Well I donked my way around the Mookie tournament last night, started out squeeky tight, ending up donking myself out with AJ on the last hand before the first break. I didn’t feel like playing in the first place so should have sat out. Ahhhh well.

I am working on a post about my long day on Tuesday when I satellited into two 50+5 tourneys on Full Tilt. It was a long day of poker, just one day after I said I wasn’t going to play for a while (par for the course in my schizo journey in poker). I will have that post up hopefully by end of day.

I need a lot of work on my game. I have done enough work on my game over the last two years and played enough that I should be a winning player online by now, but I am not. I was telling my buddy last night that I still have holes in my game that you can drive a truck thru, the biggest one being Bankroll Management. I play above my roll, and if you don’t play perfect poker, you will lose.

It stinks, cause I want so badly to be a great player. I enjoy all aspects of the game, playing, reading studying, but I continuously get in my own way. It’s a tough game, with peaks and valleys, and its important to be able to handle both, or you won’t make it out alive.

Anyway off to work on that post. Enough rambling for now….lol

No live blogging tonight

Posted by swljuggernaut on November 1, 2007

Well attempted to play the mookie tonight against my better judgement as I have felt like hell the past two days. I have been a little too snug in these things, and I thought well “lets see some more flops early”. Had QQ 5 hands in on an AKx board. check check (i had bet 105 pre) on flop. I bet the turn took it down. It would be the only hand I won. I saw a couple flops, crippled myself early and then in a pot of 800 ish with me only having 1400 left I pushed my AK into 99, 9 on turn and I am done 30 hands in.

Statistics for 30 Hands
Street Saw Saw/Total
Flop 6 20%
Turn 4 13%
River 4 13%
Showdown 3 10%
Street Won Won/Saw Won/Total
Pre-flop 0 0% 0%
Flop 0 0% 0%
Turn 0 0% 0%
River 0 0% 0%
Showdown 0 0% 0%

I am having one of those weeks where I wonder if I even know how to play this great, frustrating, kick you in the balls sometimes game. At least I wasn’t rivered to be eliminated for first time in 6 blogger tourneys. Nah…thats not any better…haha…still played like a donkey two tourneys in a row. Heee hawwwww

Ahhh well…to bed early I guess.

EDIT: I had to switch computers after an orbit or so because my wireless was pooched so that is why stats don’t show my one winning hand….lol

Next up to bat….

Posted by swljuggernaut on October 31, 2007

The Mookie!

So tonight continues the BBT2 and I am hoping to rebound from my brain fart at the HOY and continue my tight aggressive play. I have made 3 of 4 final tables of the Mookie’s I have played in 2007 and I hope to get back there after my dismal showing last week at the Mookie.

Played a little today but nothing overly excited. I am just going thru the motions at the cash tables online of late so I am thinking as I said yesterday maybe that signals time to step away for a short time. I played quite a bit while off, and sometimes I get bored, and I definately get frustrated by getting donked, so maybe its best I step back for a bit. I certainly have lots to read, and I have lots of wholes in my poker knowledge to fill. I enjoy studying the game and I am going to put my focus there for a bit.

I am jones’n to play some live, and I may try and get in a game this weekend. I will see if the crew is up to playing a game this weekend. We’ll see.

Must take my kids to get some teeth rotting candy, I will be back to live blog my Tourney tonight at the Mookie.
