Im going to have to post my stats in a little different way. It would be too confusing if i posted in sets of 20 instead of just doing it for the day. My stats are going to be a little flawed because of it. I'll still do for the day, then overall. Considering i have to start this over, its showing 30 sng's played. I actually played 14 today so far. I've gotten 2nd so many times its disgusting. A few i could have avoided, the others were just bad luck. But i cant control everything.

An OK day..
I only played 16 sng's today because i was doing other things. I got unlucky in 3 with pre flop all ins with AA or KK in the first 5 hadns and people called with small pairs or connectors and got lucky. So my ROI hurt because of it.

Bankroll Building
So i haven't written on the blog in a good week and couple days. I've been brainstorming and playing different MTT's and tournaments and even on a few different sites. For some reason i cant get anything going on Party. I would love to be able to maximize the fishyness there but it's just not happening. Full Tilt might be profitable in the long run. I really like their $6 18 man tournaments where the top 4 get $24+2 tournament tokens. Then you play any $24 dollar tournament for 6 bucks. I wish you could trade or sell these tokens for cash.
Then we have Pokerstars. I'll never leave their site. Everything all around is high class and thats the reason why they are number one in the industry. The problem is, i don't know what i want to play to start building. I've been playing various levels of SNG's and some MTT's. You cant really build a good bankroll by playing the low limit MTTs. This is where variance is the greatest. I would love to do cash games, but for some reason im not as good as when i play them live. I did grab a subscription to cardrunners to help that out. They have some great videos along with PXF.
That pretty much leaves me with SNGs. Like I said, i did play various levels and i think im going to stick with the $6 Turbo's for the time being. The $3 turbo's i can play 8 at a time, but my ROI isnt the greatest. Although my ITM% is still around 47%. I might also try the $10 non turbo sng's also. My stats in those are freakishly good. I'm going to keep progress on this blog with all my stats for them. I want to play atleast 20 a day and i only 3 table them. From what ive seen i play my best, can still stay attentive and know what other players are doing at the table. I've played 8 today so far and here are my stats.
Total SNG Played: 8
Total $ Won: $118.80
Net $ Won: $66.80
ROI% : 128.46%
ITM% : 75%
1st Place : 3
2nd Place : 1
3rd Place : 2
When i accumulate all my $6 sng's my stats look like this. Keep in mind this is a very small sample size and dates back from before i went to vegas.
Total SNG Played: 36
Total $ Won: $313.20
Net $ Won: $79.20
ROI%: 33.85%
ITM%: 52.78%
1st: 5
2nd: 5
3rd: 9
My ROI could be better, but like i said i didnt implement some of the strategies i used today back then. Also i was 8 tabling them before so my ROI should go up. These sng's usually average about 35 minutes, so if im 3 tabling them and want to play 20 a day im lookin at 3 or 4 hours or so.

Home
I flew back home from Vegas Wednesday night. It does feel good to be back at home. But i did like making tons of money while I was there. I didn't blog at all the final 2 days i was there because i never got the time. I did manage to avoid the long lines that stemmed from the terror plot stuff that was over in britain. My cousin who is coming home tomorrow unfortunately will not.
I was up a solid 4k in 13 days. Im not sure whether it was luck or I'm actually a better cash game player than i thought. I did only have 2 losing sessions in those 13 days, with the largest sum of money lost was $400. Maybe its just that considering im playin live i can get a better read on the people im playing with. Considering that is a very small sample size, im actually thinking about renting an apt out in vegas for a month or two and seeing how i do playing. 4k cash in 2 weeks isnt shabby at all. If you walk up to most people and ask them how much they make a month after taxes, ill guarantee you 60% are going to say its under 8k a month.
Another option that i have, which is probably the best one, is to try and get into UNLV. This way i can get an education and play at the same time. I was very good with actually setting a schedule when i would play out there. If i was losing, i would get up and leave. If i was winning i would stay but i wouldn't play more than 8-10 hours. That schedule went into place as i was there for a little bit. In the beginning i just wouldn't leave.
Of course i'll try to play some cash games online to see how i do there. Ill keep track of my stats via PokerOffice. I did manage to make $260 today playin 1-2 for about an hour and a half, so thats not bad at all.

Good and Bad
Unfortunately i didnt have a great day today either. I made a sick play on a guy i have been playing with the last week or so the 3rd hand i played when i sat down. The flop came 2 4 5. I had the 56 after he raised pre flop to 12 bucks. Yea i know its a loose call, but i felt like making a play, what do you want. There were 2 diamonds on the board so i checked. He over bet the pot and bet 30 dollars. I flat called looking to make a play on this guy, NOT because i had top pair..he obv had a little bit better hand then i did. I knew he wasnt the type of player to bet into his flush draws. The turn brought a brick i checked again and he bet out 60 dollars. I flat called again. The river brought the King of Diamonds. Wow i couldnt ask for anything more perfect. I go all in and he yells out loud in his thick english accent "why does everyone hit there draws on me" and throws his cards away. I flip over the 56o and raked the pot. He was stunned but said "nice play". You damn right it was!
Well then later on a Q 8 6 board, and 35 dollars in a pot, he checked from the sb, UTG + 2 bet 30 and i re raised to 95 with KK. He was in the sb and quickly shoved his chips in. UTG+2 folds and its 42 more to me and i call. He says i have the best hand at hte moment. turn and river both come JJ and he flips over 9T for the double gutshot straight draw. Sigh..2nd bad beat in 2 weeks.
When it was all said and done i was down $150 in poker and tried to make it back on the big wheel with black and red spaces they call roulette. I lost $200 and was quickly on my way. I've been good on staying away from the viruses they call blackjack and roulette. If i ever want to move out here and try and make it just playing poker, thats something i cant do.
I went back later on and was up $100, so i was only down a quarter of a buy-in for the day, but down another $200 in roulette. That goes in the tally also.

Controversy..
Obviously played at the venetian last night. It was a roller coaster all night. I was down then up then down then up again. I just couldn't stay in one consistent path. I had my QQ cracked by 99, then QJ cracked my JJ. Those were all ins pre flop when the other players had only about 30-40 bucks behind.
A little vietnamese man came to the table and was stacked the 2nd hand he played. I gave him more chips a few hands later..he was the one who had 9s and cracked my queens. I raised utg and he came over the top for a raise so i just put him all in. That's not where the story is though.
I had limped from the sb with A4o to see a flop and it came A A 3 with 2 clubs. I bet out 10 bucks into a 20 dollar pot to see where i was at and the newcomer called. The turn was an 8. I bet out 20 bucks and he re raised to 60. I was pretty sure i was ahead considering how this guy has been playing. Now right before the river hit the felt he said "I go all in". So the river was a queen of diamonds but i still thought i had the best hand. So i say out loud "You acted out of turn, but i call anyway". I push my stack into the middle and flip over my cards showing what i had. The guy says "what are you doing you cant do that". I go "um sir you said, you're all in". I turn to the dealer and ask her if she heard the same and she said, "yes he said he was all in".
To make a long story short, the gentleman to his left said that he did indeed say "no all in". It doesnt matter though. All the dealer heard was all in and the rule for The Venetian card room states that out of turn verbal comments are binding. So he was forced to pay me. He shouldnt be saying anything referring to being all in because of things like that. He flipped over T8c for the flush draw and said "do you really think i would go all in with that". I semi-politely said "Sir, this is poker...the cards are irrelevant" So that was the end of that...And besides that bastard sucked out on me before, he had it coming hehe.

Madness last night
I made out very well last night. I got over to the venetian around 7pm. I sat down and didnt recognize any of the players at my table again. As the night progressed a few people i knew started to show up. The first 3 hours didnt go my way at all. I wasn't hitting flops, and i had to lay down a few hands against weaker players because i didnt know how they played at all.
So i decided to take a break and go to the Grand Lux Cafe to get something to eat. I could have gotten table side service, but it was in my best interest to go there for a few reasons. 1) I like a change of scenery. 2) i didnt want to fug up the cards or the chips. 3) I dont like watching other people eat meals at the table, so i would assume some people dont like watching others eat also.
I returned around 10:30 after eating a terrific steak and was feeling refreshed. As i was about to sit down there were 2 kids from denmark about to take a seat to. One of them was directly to my right and i started up a little conversation with him. It seemed that he and his buddies were out here for the series and played 10/20 and 25/50 on all the very small european sites that are out there. They were playing the 100/200 mixed game last night and decided they just wanted to have a little bit of fun.
They continously were pushing all in with 34 and other ridiculous hands because the money just wasnt an issue with them. I doubled up my stack when a guy called my all in with a flush draw and missed. That was the only time i could reap the benefits of them because they moved to a table which had all their buddies on it except for 2 or 3 people. All during the night they would have swarms of people lurking around their table since they were going all in pre flop every hand. Each pot was around 2-3k and they easily had 10k on the table in a 1-2 game lol.
Antonio Esfandiari briefly made an appearance and walked around the venetian poker room to check it out. Then Bill Gazes actually sat at our 1-2 table with his buddy who was learning the game. Gazes was hammered and didnt play a hand, his buddy broke even after a little while.
I caught another little nice pot when there was a straddle and a raise to 10 bucks with 5 callers. I called with 7s 8s and flopped a straight. A guy hit a set on the turn that only improved my straight and i felted him. Then really late around 5 am, i made a guy fold JJ on a Q J 5 Q board when he thought i had quads. I played it really scary he said. He was hammered and also from sweden. I had raised pre flop with AQ to 12 bucks and he re raised to 40. I flat called and we saw a flop. I bet out 14 dollars to see what he was going to do and was dumbfounded. He flat called and said the only thing that beats me is queens. The turn brought a 3rd queen and i just went all in. He had about 300 behind but i didn't think he was going to call. He indeed let it go and said wow i cant believe im laying this down, but you have quad queens so w/e. If i had that he was losing the whole way. So i threw over the one queen, and then the ace and he was disgusted.
At that point i had a little over $1200 in front of me so i decided to leave at about 6:12 am.

WSOP Player Opinion
I havent made a meaningful post in a while so i thought i would do that. Some of the plays that i have seen are absolutely horrendous. The one time i was watching the rail there was a big play in front of me. It was Day 1C. It was late in the day, could have been the last level of the night. It is folded around to the button who has approximately 18k, raises to 1200(200/400) blinds. I saw his cards when he lifted them up and he had J6o. The big blind calls and has the button raiser covered by a few thousand. The flop comes 9 9 6. The big blind checks and the button raiser fires out 3000. The big blind immediately pushes his whole stack into the middle of the table.
Now if i am this guy i am not calling with J6. You cant beat anything. Not to mention you are staring at 2 9s on the board. What do you think the BB is pushing with here? As i was watching i could have sworn this guy had a 9. After deliberating for maybe 2 minutes, he calls and proudly flips over his J6 thinking he was ahead. The bb surpisingly(to me) flips over the A6. The A on the turn seals the buttons fate, only being able to tie if the case 6 hit on the river. It didn't and he went packing. All the while thinking, i could have been that guy with 20k sitting there, what is he doing?
About 5 minutes later they bring another guy to the table and he has A LOT of chips. He has around 85k and is reallly in no danger considering the second biggest stack at the table is around 35k. Plus its the last level of the night, why would you want to get involved now, when you can come back on monday or tuesday and have a very healthy amount of chips, when you got a great night of sleep. Well of course this guy didnt wan't to do that. I should also mention he was a party poker qualifier. I brought my cousin over and pointed to his stack. In a low voice, he says "it will be gone in 30 minutes". Well it only took about 18. What this guy mistakenly did, was try to take over the table without gaining respect. Sure he has a lot of chips, but when you get moved to a new table, you have a fresh image. He procedeed to double the guy up 2 to his left, then doubled up the guy to his immediate left, then doubled up the guy immediately to his right. He could have gotten away from all of the hands easily, except for the last one when he flopped top two with AQ on an A Q 3 board , when the guy flopped top set with 3 aces. People dont understand that you CAN NOT win the tournament on the FIRST day.
Now it brings us to an interesting hand that i saw on cardplayer. I dont really understand this play, but it worked out for the guy and now he has lots of chips.
5-4 Kills Aces and Kings
The player in seat 1 raises to $3,000 from early position, and two players call the raise. Jon Lane re-raises to $20,000 from middle position, and seat 9 moves all-in for $35,000 total. Seat 1 calls the all-in, and action is folded to Lane. Lane calls the raise. The flop comes A73. Seat 1 tries to bet $20,000, but only brings out $10,000 first and is cited for a string-bet; Lane makes the call of $10,000. The turn is the 6, seat 1 bets $20,000, Lane moves all-in, and seat 1 calls for his last $21,000. Seat 9 shows KK, seat 1 has AA, and Lane has 54. Lane yells, "Don't pair the board!" and the 2 peels off on the river to secure Lane a huge pot and eliminate two players. Lane is now up to $350,000.
What do you guys think of that play?
And this brings us to our chip leader for the WSOP so far. His pokerdb *online* stats for MTT's are as follows.
Est Winnings: $0
Est Buy-ins: $ 900
Rake: $65
Est Profit: -$965
To his credit he has only played 5 mtt's. I say online because it looks like he is a live player. I dont know how he got his chips but it wouldnt surprise me if it was somehow like up top. The play has been less than stellar here at the WSOP. Hopefully as the event goes deeper, play will get better.
Now if i am this guy i am not calling with J6. You cant beat anything. Not to mention you are staring at 2 9s on the board. What do you think the BB is pushing with here? As i was watching i could have sworn this guy had a 9. After deliberating for maybe 2 minutes, he calls and proudly flips over his J6 thinking he was ahead.

Sure he has a lot of chips, but when you get moved to a new table, you have a fresh image. He procedeed to double the guy up 2 to his left, then doubled up the guy to his immediate left, then doubled up the guy immediately to his right. He could have gotten away from all of the hands easily, except for the last one when he flopped top two with AQ on an A Q 3 board , when the guy flopped top set with 3 aces. People dont understand that you CAN NOT win the tournament on the FIRST day.
Now it brings us to an interesting hand that i saw on cardplayer. I dont really understand this play, but it worked out for the guy and now he has lots of chips.
5-4 Kills Aces and Kings
The player in seat 1 raises to $3,000 from early position, and two players call the raise. Jon Lane re-raises to $20,000 from middle position, and seat 9 moves all-in for $35,000 total. Seat 1 calls the all-in, and action is folded to Lane. Lane calls the raise. The flop comes A73. Seat 1 tries to bet $20,000, but only brings out $10,000 first and is cited for a string-bet; Lane makes the call of $10,000. The turn is the 6, seat 1 bets $20,000, Lane moves all-in, and seat 1 calls for his last $21,000. Seat 9 shows KK, seat 1 has AA, and Lane has 54. Lane yells, "Don't pair the board!" and the 2 peels off on the river to secure Lane a huge pot and eliminate two players. Lane is now up to $350,000.
What do you guys think of that play?
And this brings us to our chip leader for the WSOP so far. His pokerdb *online* stats for MTT's are as follows.
Est Winnings: $0
Est Buy-ins: $ 900
Rake: $65
Est Profit: -$965
To his credit he has only played 5 mtt's. I say online because it looks like he is a live player. I dont know how he got his chips but it wouldnt surprise me if it was somehow like up top. The play has been less than stellar here at the WSOP. Hopefully as the event goes deeper, play will get better.

Day 5
Not much to mention today. The roads around vegas were so much more manageable then what it was like on the weekend. Although when i got to the poker room at the venetian i was number 16 on the waiting list.
They finally opened up a brand new table. This was ok because everyone started with the same amount of chips(usually $200). But play would be relatively tight in the early going.
I played for about 2 hours and was up $400 even and then went over to the rio to watch the ME for a little bit. Thats all for now.
Days in Vegas: 5
Net Winnings Today: $400
Net Winnings Total: $1517
