Aces Cracked & Deep Ran Tourney

Quite happy with my recent results in SNGs. There is finally some uptrend in my equity for tournaments. As for cash games, it is still break even. Reason I been cash gaming side by side tourneys is because of the VPP I need to meet. I am still 300vpp away from SilverStar status for the month.

I been pretty lucky with 45-men and 18-men SNG turbo currently having a very decent ROI. In the 45 SNG my closest though was only 3rd, for twice. But good enough to give me good ROI for 7 games. As for 18-men, 7 games, I had once first, twice in the runner-up and once in the 3rd.

Will be going for an interview on Thursday, I hope that I will land on the job and when I do, I can continue to slowly build my bankroll here playing tourneys probably.. if time permits.

Below is one of the hands extracted from my cash games. I think I over-did it, but if he had it, I would've been doomed. But based on my preflop play, I assumed he thought that I had aces or ace-king. I couldn't put myself to check on the turn I don't noe why, but instead to represent it (wasn't on tilt). I think he probably had kings or queens. A relief he folded.



Below is one of my super weak play. I think I was too overwhelmed multi-tabling till I only min-raised preflop with aces. Bring a cock handed guy into the flop and letting him hit doubs. I wouldn't have fold it till the river, but it would probably have cost less. Didn't tilt after that hand because it was absolutely mistake play. I am more prone to injustice tilt, or entitlement tilt.



I seemed to have aces cracked almost every session sigh. But above was a very bad play which should have been avoided. Things like AA getting cracked by kings or 4 pairs would've tilted me hard (injustice tilt).

Anyway I play two 1.5k and 1k guaranteed tourneys in stars this afternoon and cashing both. Min-cashed one of them and the other one I made it to 14th out of 770 entrants.. my deepest run.

I was so hoping to get into my first ever regular tourney final table but I flung it. My chips was about 10th or 11th placing, all folded to me on the button, I shove-steal with JQo, big blind snap called me with aces.


An ass move I supposed. But I see myself with a little gradual improvements.

Morale fell as I closed my cash games and back to Diablo 3. 

On to the next one.
