Busy week last week and I didn’t get to play as much poker as I’d hoped. I did get in 16 tourneys though.
16 tourneys entered. 2 1st/3 2nd/1 3rd, 38% ITM, 11% ROI. Profit of $27.50.
This makes my total results over 3 weeks:
44 tourneys entered. 6 1st, 7 2nd, 6 3rd. [...]

Since I am moving to 5/10 next motnh I thought I might as well put up my stats for 3/6 in case I am doing something horribly wrong. So here are 11K (I know still a small sample) hands.
VP$IP 26
PFR 20
folded sb to steal 83%
folded bb to steal 56% This is too high [...]

Must have been a non-memorable performance last year, because I honestly have no idea how I did. So let’s give it another shot.
I have registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker!

So over the years I have occasionally played some NL ring games. I’ve had decent success, but the sample size is small and the buy ins were small as well. I have been getting a bit burnt out on limit recently and in preperation for my trip to Vegas with Subby and QuikSand I have [...]

Finishing up the totalbet bonus last night the following hand occured. The table had dropped to four people and I had been pounding the guy on my right, 45,0,0.7 over about 120 hands. Anyway here goes:
Preflop: hero is the BB with 9c 2h
fold, fold, sb completes, hero checks
flop: Qd, 9d, 2d
check, bet, call
turn: 9s
check, bet, [...]

I’m being a good boy and I’m doing some reading on 6 max and blind situations in preparation for my return to limit play in a week or so, and I figured I’d share them with the crew:

Pokertracker stats for 6max: 2+2 post on what your major pokertracker stats should (in general) look like for [...]

After a week away from the tables I was able to get back the last few days and have two decent sessions at 3/6. I wasn’t able to finish up the 600 euro B2B site I had been working on but I will get partial credit from them at the end of the month. So [...]

If you remember week 1’s results, I only played 8 tournaments, losing $6.50 in the process. This week was a lot more productive. I got in the 20 tourneys I was hoping to in the week, and wanted to get in more but was positively exhausted after my new job a couple of nights. In [...]

Some interesting river decisions that I cribbed from 2+2. Interesting in that they are painful and seem to come up for me all of the time.
Hand #1
villian is 33/19/1.8 and WTSD 32 after 1289 hands
Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with Q K
UTG folds, Hero raises, 3 folds, BB calls.
Flop: 9 2 5 [...]

Just a quick update as to where I stand in the process of moving to 2/4 6 max. I’m waiting to get my Party Poker account setup – it may have been done this weekend, but I haven’t heard back yet. I’ve gotten PokerTable Scan and PA HUD; I’m waiting on my Party account to [...]
