...

BPT: I was doing 3 tourneys at the same time, I will never do that again...
I could hardly concentrate... Well, I finished better than the sit outers, but last hand again wasn't too smart. I'm not patient enough. Next time I will only concentrate to the BPT, but I guess without a FT, I won't be in the top 20 :(
Poker is not the most important, but it eats up a lot of time. I should concentrate more on the uni, and only play when I feel okay about it. I have plans for the time I will save, and that's great :)

BPT2 #3 cancelled?

Aaaargh.
My friend had her exhibition opening yesterday, I was there, than we went to a pub with some friends, and we had fun, but about 25mins before the BPT start I told them I have to go home, to play poker... I arrived than I saw that it was cancelled... I was really disappointed. That's why I came home... Than I said, I will play poker anyway, I entered a titan 10$ MTT, I finished 5/222, but the last hand I was stupid, and the last half hour was useless anyway. The 4th got just 20$ more than me, and I played till 2.30am, and I was really tired and sleepy in the end. Well 130$ profit is still good you know, just that the next time I will check the payouts (I usually don't do that it makes me nervous, but if I knew, that only the 1st & 2nd gets the most of the money, I would have played differently...)

no title

Not much poker lately.
I'm happy that partypoker cancelled the Monster, I took a silly quiz some weeks before, and they awarded me a monthly ticket. And now they exchanged it to 350$ - not bad for 3 minutes :). I took out the most of it, but I left 20$ in just to play. They offered a 15$ bonus, I said ok, but I still have to play some raked hands to claim it. Well I saw my brother playing a 215$ (!) sit and go, and there was a guy who went all in pre-flop with K7, and an other with A4... I hope I find some fish also :)
I will play the BPT this saturday of course, but I'll concentrating more on my game, I have to make an FT if I want to be in the top 20... GL everyone!

Live blogging - the next day

I just wanted to write down how hard it was. I could hardly concentrate on my game, because I wanted to write down everything. I watched the chat, played my hands, wrote the blog, publish it, than go back to editing, etc. The hand history button made my table freeze, so it was a hard first time, maybe I will do better next time.
About my game, well didn't play well, I got really mad at the end, I won 1/3 of my pocket Aces. Viezeman finished 11, because of beating my aces with J7. How funny. I still need a cold head, maybe I will play with some ice next time... :)

BPT2 #2 LIVE

The "Royal's Bluff Till You Drop Bender" just started at poker.com . 72 players registered. Pretty talkative is my table.

0.00: (First hand) A raised preflop B , C called, the after the flop B went all in, A folded, C called with pocket fours on the 8s-9s-5h, and the fours were good enough against the nut flush draw, nothing came. A true FREEROLL. :)

0.08: Viezeman, the 1st on the BPT leaderboard joined the table. (Replicantpoker - who's second on the leaderboard is here also - they are now sitting next to each other) The folks started the frendly trash talk... Viezeman just told us, that Vieze means Dirty in dutch.

0.16: Not much happening, I'm not getting too good cards, but I'll try to play conservative in the first hour, while the blinds are so small. A 160 raise is usual at this table with blinds 10/20 - I don't see the point of that.

0.29: I got AA. Replicant raised, I re-raised him 3 times he raised, he called, board came Ks, 9c, Qh, he went all in, I called, but he had K9. Turn 4, river 2. I'm now at 605 with 25/50 blinds. Bad beat. (LOL)

0.33: Aces agian, I double up against J6 (he went all in). But 2 hands after that a 7 high straight is on the board, I had 8, but the other guy had 89. Aah. I'm at 910. Replicant told us, that he's 19, and he showed a bluff and won a pot of 1200.

0.37: I'm down to 760 after a miss-click. I guess I will finish earlier now than next time, when I was sitting out. Okay I'll double up.

0.40: Bluffer caught. Replican went all in at the river with 2000 at a 3500 pot, with 5,K,5,10,9 but he got called by pocket Jacks. He has 700 left. Blinds are 50/100

0.43: Now he doubled up holding 33 againts KK pre-flop all in, a 3 came to the board, what a lucky man!

0.45: Viezaman tried to steal my blind, but I re-raised all in so he folded. I'm at 1060 now. Still need to double up...

0.50: Blinds 75/150...

0.58: Replican is out. He hit trips, but the other guy had it too with better kicker.

1.00: Brake. 55 player left. My table is full of pretty good playres. I forgot to mention Mada1970, who has a 20K winner accolade, and he told us that he played an 1500$ buy in event at the WSOP. Nice. I'm still at 1060, blinds 100/200, this is going to be a kamikaze action...

1.03: All in with AQ - no caller.

1.14: A sit outer is at BB, I go all in with A9 (happy to see an ace with 5 BB), AJ calls, I'm left with 335, very next hand I get 99, so I double up to 770, than I'm BB (150/300 blinds), limpers, board Js,7,As,9s I call with J5, he had Ks-10, now I have 1900.

1.18: Viezeman's Jacks aren't good enough a Queen on the board, now he's left with 480.

1.19: I double him up he has J7, I have AA, two 7 came to the board. As usual.

1.20: finished 38th after being trapped. At the very next hand. I suck. I closed down the table, cool, I can't see the HH anymore... Maybe I will come back to FT, but at the moment I'm not in a poker mood.
------------------------

1.51: I'm back. Still angry. Yeah that 5-10 wasn't the best hand to go all in with. Whatever.
Only 11 left. Who will be the bubble guy?

2.02: Viezeman is out 11th place, just before the break. Final table!


2.09: Blinds 750/1500. Porkrind went all in two times in a row now he's got 22.000.
Elc3105 is still alive now doubled up he has 2260.

2.11: Booboys aces are good (not like mines lol)

2.12: Elc3105 doubled again now has 6000

2.13: But he's out A10 vs 99, no help for him

2.14: Porkrind333 had KQ natsdad AQ in the flop there was a Q 33.000 pot for nats

2.15: Someone is all in in almost every hand

2.16: Purechaos out he had Q high flush againts nutsdad’s A high flush after the turn, it’s a 60.000 pot. Natsdad has 65K now, second has only 15K

2.18: blinds 1/2k

2.19: mick5434 got lucky, Quackpot out. Porkrind333 out, he went all in pre-flop QQ at DamRiver, which are good enough.

2.21: Brodoughno all in 4800 10J doubles up, now booboy gets shortstacked

2.22: Mick raise all in Brodoughno call a4 wins vs k5, Brodoughno has 20k now.

2.24: Mick is all in, Damriver now has KK, Mick is out…

2.25: Brodoughno all in has A4, but again Damriver calls with AK, and knocks him out

2.25: Booboy has only 1 bb, but those 2 are out before him, he gets more money,but now he’s BB, and he’s out Damriver has 60K now also, like Natsdad

2.26: iyatoni is shortstacked has 10k,
doubles wtih Q9 ( a 9 saves his day)

2.29: Blinds are now 1500/3000

2.30: Three handed play chip count:
iyatoni 30K
damriver 48K
natsdad 63K

2.31: Damriver and natsdad is all in, Damriver has AK, must be delighted to see the K in the flop againts natsdad’s 99, but the other 4 cards on the board makes natsdad’s day with a 10 high straight!!! Pretty amazing. Damriver is out.

2.31: Heads up play :
natsdad has 105K
iyatoni 35K
Both players are from the Uk.

2.33: A23 on the board natsdad calls the opponent’s all in with Q3, but iyatoni has A7, and doubles up, takes the lead

2.34: natsdad gets the lead back he pairs his queen, iyatoni’s flush draw doesn’t work well. Now natsdad has 110K, iyatoni 30K

2.37: natsdad gets lucky again, and hits a straight and it’s all over! Good game all!!!

BTP2 #2

So, I couldn't arriver home in time last time, I was sitting out most of the time, then I fell out with an all in after the flop (no flush or straight came)...
Today, I can play, and I will try my best.
I decided to make a live coverage of the tourney, writing down the interesting hands, and my subjective view of the game. I never tried to make live comments on a tourney, but there always must be a first one. Hope you enjoy! Game starts in 15 minutes, 70 registered so far. Good luck!

more

I always wanted to change with one big bang.
I guess that just doesn't work.
Small steps, but keep on moving, and never give up!
