April 20, 2008, 10PM:
WSOP Fantasy League

I realize that in posting this I give away what a loser I am, but oh well, I had fun with it.
 
Today I came up with a World Series of Poker Fantasy system where my friend and I pick a "team" of players much the way you do in other fantasy drafts.  I came up with a list of players using the chip counts from the WPT Championship that is going on right now, and a few other players I thought of.  This competition will be between RyanMo6707 (used to post on here) and me.
 
I also picked out 41 of the 55 WSOP events this year that will count toward the "league." I didn't include ladies, senior, or staff tournaments.  I also didn't include a few of the stud hi lo small buy in tournaments that take place on the same day as higher buy in no limit tournaments.  This was because 90% of the players in the draft pool will be playing the NL tournament, making the stud tournament much weaker.
 
The next step was to develop the scoring for this little competition.  A cash is worth 100.  A final table is 300.  3rd=500, 2nd=700, and 1st=1,000.  I also weighted the tournaments based on buy-in.  All tournaments under 5k will be scored with the previously mentioned points.  Points for 5k buy ins and 1k rebuys will be multiplied by 1.5.  For 10k buy ins multiply the points by 2, and for the 50k HORSE, multiple the points by 3.
 
I ranked roughly the top players that I want to draft.  Players near the top include: Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Allen Cunningham, Phil Hellmuth, Erik Seidel, Barry Greenstein, Mike Matusow, and JC Tran.  Obviously these are players with a proven track record, and they also (with the possible exception of JC Tran) all know how to play all the games well.
 
I also would want to take a a few players like Isaac "Mr. Menlo" Baron, Michael Binger, Jonathan Little, Scott Clements, David Pham, Gavin Griffin, and Michael Mizrachi, because while they may not play all the games, they put in a huge volume during the WSOP.  Hopefully they will be able to rack up a lot of points.
 
I am not sure how much money we will have on this, but I will keep you guys posted (mostly just because it's fun for me lol) on how badly I am beating him.

April 20, 2008, 12PM: Played 7 hours, 30 minutes, Lost $550.00 at Ceaser's Palace
$500 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (88th out of 508 Players)

Ugh!!!!! I was really confidant going into this tourny.  This is a great structure for me, just like the one I cashed in at Harvey's in November.  I've been playing my recent tournment strategy of somewhat tight play.  I don't force hands to come, but wait patiently and try to stay at 20+ times the Big Blind.  This tends to help me go rather deep frequently, but I don't usually have a lot of chips when I get there and need them.  They style seems to rely on me getting at least 60% winning percentage when the blinds get tough and the competition gets desperate. Perhaps I need to push a bit more when it gets tough like this, but in my experience that leads me to go out on a bluff and leave pissed off, wondering how far I could've gone. 
 
I was really sure I was going to cash n this event, I really couldn't believe it when I got busted outside the money.  In level 6 my AK went down to a short stack's AJ, and I was short on chips ever since.  I went to level 8, $400/$800 w/ $100 ante with $12,900 in chips.  Not bad, but not good, either.  I played the first 2 hands I was delt at this level, losing my raise the first and picking up the blinds and antes the second, so staying near even.  I then had to muck the next 20-30 hands in a row, not even getting a hand I could play with.  I was around 8,000 in chips when I picked up A 8 suited one off the button.  I barely had to think before I shoved all my chips in.  The button woke up with JJ and it was all over but the crying.
 
I'm not sure why I moved in instead of making a 3x raise of the BB, probably because I had mucked so many previous hands If I had made that raise and got re-raised I could've mucked.  I would've been really short stacked, but I could've seen a few more hands.

Texas Hold'em

Decided to 2-table 1cent-2cent 6handed cash tables while listening to PokerRoadRadio (highly entertaining)...was kind of messing around a little bit and was amazed at how tight you could play until making a hand then just jam 5x pot into the middle and they call with mid. pair.  I was having more fun playing this then I have been playing tourneys lately so maybe I will fire up 4-5 tables of this tomorrow instead of playing tourneys.  Maybe I can make a few bucks and more importantly enjoy it again.

April 14, 2008, 5PM: Played 40 minutes, Made $75.00 at Full Tilt Poker
$22 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 10 Players)

I hate FT.  I think it is a Vista problem, but I never know if my HH will be saved.  The history was saved for the private tourney yesterday, but not for this gem today.  And here I took notes about hands I wanted to discuss :(.
 
Oh well, I built a big stack and pushed everyone around for a while.  Then they got aggro so I backed off, but not for long.  Then things start going my way.  I take down a pot on the river with a one-card flush (4h), the guy did not even call.  Then I play aggro with 78 and hit 2pr on the flop.  And it gets better from there.
 
A guy tries to steal all in preflop with 59s? He runs into my A5s in SB.  I'm thinking it's bad to try that when big stack is one of the blinds?
 
Once four handed, things started REALLY going my way.  I knocked out 4th, 3rd, and 2nd on suckouts.  JAs rivered an Ace to beat some other pair.  I beat the next guy all in pre with 74 vs JK, and finally, to show just how well-aligned the stars are, I beat the last guy all in pre with 5J vs AJ.
 
I hate winning as much as I hate losing, cuz when I win it feels like dumb-ass luck.

$22 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (4th out of 10 Players)

Bubble boy.  Played only like four hands.  Got a good stack and then had an average stack.  Picked up 27o in BB and raised a SB who was limping.  He calls and flop is 236.  He bets into me and I go over the top all in.  He thinks and calls with 7Ko.  Turn is 7, river is 3 to pair the board :(.  We both make two pair and his King holds up.  I guess that's what happens in donkey-vs-donkey.  I ran the numbers, and was 85% on the flop and "only" 80% on the turn.  Can't really feel sorry for myself on that one getting aggro with 27o, but maybe I should, since I knew the guy was weak the whole way (playing the player, not my cards).
 
I shoved preflop next hand with TQd cuz I'm pissed and get beat by A5s.

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (60th out of 190 Players)

This might just be a day full of poker.  Hopefully if I don't take a real bad beat or two I will keep playing good and play all day.  If I take a beat I may have to quick due to frustration though.
 
So, tourney number 1: 6 handed MTT.  Had AQ and AK on the first two hands and lost both so I was a little short right off the bat.  Little later I raised Q9s from the CO.  Flop came 876 and the SB who was the only guy to call led for the size of the pot (about 200).  I shoved for 960...he called with 74 and I hit a 9 to get to 2k early on.
 
Just lost a big race: QQ v AK preflop, coulda had a huge stack.  I have 2250 now at 50-100 so still able to make a run.
 
Squeezed with J8s, called by 77, lost.

$3.30 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (3rd out of 146 Players)

Wow, a decent finish ;)
 
Grinded down to 3 handed... was picking on the player on my left from the SB.. just limping and outplaying him post.
 
Then on my button I'd auto muck and let the weak player(SB) be at a disadvantage vs he BB big stack.  Then while in the BB the SB big stack would give me a pass most of the time and about 1/5 times raise.
 
We had a nice system going here to bleed the guy on my right down.. which is what was happening.  Until he starting limping on the button and raising from the BB.. he hit his "oh shit" stack size and woke up.
 
He doubles up off the big stack with AA and now becomes very aggressive.  Blinds are high and I limp on the button with KJs.. he raises from the SB with AK and we see 244 with two spades fall, he bets half my stack and I commit to the hand.  Even if 50/50 I don't mind.  I can't fold now once the pot has 30K in it from pre action.

9th's - 1
 
Played 0 Step 3's
I have;
3 WSOP Step 3
1 EPT St3p 3
1 LAPT Step 3
 
*playing one of them at a time yeilds best results*
*Turbos suck ass and turns into a crap shoot but I have perfected them :)
 
Done with step 1's for now.. will play down my step 2's and will only return to step 1's if I start placing low in 2's.  Will spend a max of 1k on the step system for now.
 
STEP 2's
I'm finding step twos more difficult.. they still are turbos but people don't bust out as quickly.  So I can't fold down to 3-5 players and then "turn it on".  They also are more aggressive.  Also, to stay on track with money invested I will need 9 step 3's and it is looking like that may not happen :(
