Alucard's Cash Journal - 2NL to 5NL

Woot!
Good run in the PKO! decent profit overall.
$6.76 from cashing in & $7 from bounties. Folded a great hand which affected my game pretty much. And lost some chasing bounties.

Stars roll upto - $70.24

Thanks! I didn't put him on a K or J on that 77 hand. Bad read by me. Otherwise would've run another good one. Got out AK vs JJ.
Congratz on making the money! I'm certainly getting the hang of bounties
Overall a slight profit

Thx,another min-cash,meh.I need a FT soon,but don`t we all,lol.

Take away that hand and you make a deep run,easy,like i said,eliminate those little mistakes and your golden buddy

I am 4 tabling 2NL at stars & deep in the $4.40 big atm. Anyone want to rail me to give advice or for pure observation, you are mostly welcome

Cash tables - Amalia, Athor II, Padua, Crommelin II

Update - Ran quite well in the Big $4.40. But made a bad choice in the end.

Overall won around $15 from 60 cents.

I grinded cash as well but unfortunately I tried so hard to satty in to a $7.50 BB and lost around $7 there. So the cash grind just covered that amount

Stars roll upto - $84.50

Playing the WCOOP 38-L 6max. ITM & $32 already in the bag!

Woot!
Had a good run. Wish it would've continued.
Made $88.11 from just 60cents!

Stars roll got a huge boost!

Stars upto - $172.92

I'll be playing more WCOOP & powerfest tmrw.
Will grind out 2NL cash at both to cover the expenses.

Then will move to 888 to grind out full ring 2NL.

On 3 sites the roll is above $100. Only 888 left

I'm really happy to hear things are going well! I wish I coukd play on pokerstars as well.... stupid black Friday.

Thanks bean! Hope everything is going great for you as well.
Sorry to hear that. Should move to Europe

Dug a deep hole today at 2NL @ stars. Quickly lost around $10 now slowing crawling out. Made $5(1.5 from promo) & need to make another 5.

I feel after playing tourneys my hand strength analysis has been a bit out of line. Made some stupid calls & shoves.

Not any interesting tourneys today though.

The powerfest 6max $5.50 is tmrw so I'm gonna try that & maybe another go at 100k phase 1 which has a smaller player field. I saw that around 5am my time has only around 25 players.

At stars will try the micro monday 6max $2.20, WCOOP 45-L $11 150K GTD Rebuy. Maybe another Bounty Builder as well 4.40 or 7.50.

On 20th got a 6max $11 PKO at WCOOP. Really looking forward to that.

Perhaps a good full ring game as well. Gotta do well at the cash tables.

For anyone tuning in want to know how to get into those big tournaments very profitably, I'll tell you a secret

Take 60 cents and go play a $4.40 Bounty builder qualification 4 max Shootout Sit n Go BEFORE the tourney starts. After you qualify, unregister from that tournament.
Now you have T$4.40 from 60 cents. Then go play a $1.45 sit n go shootout for the $11 game. You can take 3 chances at qualification from just 60 cents
But shootout sit n gos can be frustrating at times.

A bit unfruitful day so I'm gonna take a break today. Have an assignment to finish. God I hate them! But have make tmrw free to play more tourneys!!!

I started this thread around 19th of August. So within around a month, I made around $300-350 I think calculating the tourney winnings. Not too shabby for a 2NLer
Exciting times ahead!

Forgot to mention that I'm backing Spripe for 2% of his WCOOP package.
Good luck mate!

Don`t u sleep? :aetsch:

When you are printing money it's impossible to sleep

Here dude. This is what you supposed to do.

lol jokes aside I'm really happy with the progress. Not only the winnings but also the dedication I've put into improving the game. And the mentality.
If I put this into my other goals very intelligently, like trading, investments & businesses, then I'd be a very happy camper.

It's just a mental game. When you are super focused & know that you want it, nothing is impossible!


Some of the grinding music I listen to... I like the rap mixes in this channel a lot.

Insanely bad luck at cash table continues. Currently playing a loosing session at stars

When the only card you are happy to see on the river is not that card you wanted anyway

All my top pockets are getting overcarded. All the draws are drawing dead. People hitting straights out of nowhere.
Been like this for 3days straight! At both party & stars

And when we get a good flop, no one calls

Finally some justice
