Poker: 28 Jun - Finally.

Won two tourneys today. Sound impressive. But not really. What I played was "Double or Nothing". There are 10 players in this table, and as long as you make it to the top 5, you win a fifth of the pool. First one was easy. I almost got knocked out in the second table. This tournament has high winning ratio, but of course, the prize is not as attractive.

Just like risk:reward ratio in trading. You can win a lot of the time, small amount by small amount, and for that, high probability, becuz what you might be doing is close your trade whenever you're up +5 +5 +5, but let ur lose run. In a high risk:reward ratio, you might be doing things like -5 -5 -5 but when winning strikes it can cover or overcome the small loses you've been thru. A lot of stress/emotional tolerance is needed for the latter.

Another good news about is MY EXAMS PASSED!! Finally, I can look forward and embark my final year of part-time studies. This is truly a blessing.

No trades today.

Poker: 25 Jun - Not Again.

Played tourneys today. Both seat and go. I won the first table third. Finally cashing back. Second table we played and the prolonged match between four of us. Top 3 will have prize. I really expecting myself to post some winning poker. But unfortunately, I got knocked out at last.

More stakes are in placed when trading compared to the micro buy-ins of hold'em. But u won't believe the adrenaline rushing when I was playing, especially within pocket cards like Aces or AK or even AQ. I played very tightly. Way too tight. I was pretty predictable and won few hands with very high cards. To the point people barely call against my raises. More to learn. But I see myself improving and I'm happy.

Results: -$0.50

Poker: 19 Jun - Red For Third Time

Obviously, i played very poorly. Even in "play money" games i played badly, and i shouldnt have proceeded to playing "real money" when i am having such down form. One of the big loss tonight was having a pocket K pairs losing to two pairs. i could have taken the pot early but probably the raise i gave wasn't intimidating enough making him afford to go all the way to the river where it give him the second pair.

Now im wondering if i would have a winning night in this arena.

Result: -$1.76

Kinda frustrating watching myself playing texas hold'em LIVE for the firstime. I tried playing 2 table at once, kind of ambitious for firstimer. Seriously i wonder how ppl like ANON can play 12 tables at once. Players are completely different level from playing fake money.

Will be posting net result for each day, whenever i play.

Result: -$6.34
