Perty Good Day

Yup awesome day today, including 2 Final Tables and a 36th place finish out of 5000 people mtt(6 hours for 45$ sigh). But I am happy. I won a 4.40$ 180 man sng for 216$ and got 9th in another. Feeling really good about my mtt game right now. Amazingly I really have changed it from my semi lag/tag(believe it or not) to a straight LAG early to TAG in the middle, to LAG again at the end, I know it's a lot to digest but it works!
Anyways, I'm too lazy to post screen shots so hopefully you beleive me, if not Shark Scope or OPR me fool.

Peace out

Races

So lately I've taken a break from cash games and have been strictly playing multi-table tournaments, and with any tourney you almost always have a race situation. Now I am not going into detail but you should all know that a "race" in poker is an all-in situation where each player has close to a 50% chance to win the hand.
Now before my recent stretch of playing mtts, i really didn't get myself into these situations that much. But now, early in these mtts i try to get in them as much as possible in order to build a nice stack, and it's been effective, so far.
So the point of this post is to let you know that racing is a huge factor early on, soooooo try it, do it, get yourself in that situation and double up early, then play tight and pick your spots!

Anxiety and Poker

It's weird how some things in life carry over to the poker world when playing. Outside of poker I have a somewhat anxious personality when it comes to certain things. For instance if I am waiting for something like a package or someone to come over, I get extremely anxious(anxiety) and I get certain symptoms, like light headiness, nervousness, increased heart rate, ect.

Anyways, while playing poker this evening I was thinking that maybe that is a leak in my game. I obviously have controlled this before or I wouldn't have gone as deep as I have in mtts, but I really think sometimes I get too anxious when blinds get high and I make stupid mistakes. Mistakes are how others win and what I need to eliminate. I can remember deep in the 11$ rebuy when I won it for 13k, I kept telling myself, be patient, keep waiting for a good and, don't worry. When I talked myself through this and kept repeating it, it helped. I even told others on an instant messenger to tell me or I repeated it to them. It seriously helped, and I forgot about this small little nugget.

So from now on I am going to do this, see how much it changes my game and how much more I win.

Stake KC!

This may seem kind of weird, me asking for a stake, but I have been staked many times before, with my stakers getting back as high as 1.5k back from me!
I am looking to get staked for a multiple amount of tournaments(you decide the BR) and I will also discuss "the deal" % wise with the person who wants to do this with me. You also can decide the tournament types and BI's but my stongest skill is rebuys and 15 min blinds, no turbos.

I have a lot of time the next 3 months to play so I will be available more than usual. I think many that will read this trust in my abilities and if I get no stakers I will not be mad, embarrassed, or ashamed. I am mainly doing this to try it out and see how it works. I obviously have the money to play on my own but this is something I've been wanting to try.

I also have been running hot lately going deep in the 3$ rebuy only to become unlucky to finish 26th out of 5k+ entries. Please email me or PM on CC.

KC Challenge

I'm kinda bored and want to do something different. SO I've decided to make a simple challenge for myself on FTP. I will Start with 5$ and play the micro stakes. My goal is to get to 1k.

So here are the rules:

1. I can only play up yo 4 tables at once

2. 6 months to reach $1k

3. No time limit for each session

4. I do not have to follow BRM until the minimum (20 BIs) for the first level(2NL) is reached. So Once I reach 40$ in my BR, I will only buy in for 2$ at each table.

5. 1 mtt per day, following BRM.(freerolls anytime and as many as I want)

Once I reach 1k, I will most likely cash it out or trade it to Poker Stars to make my roll there bigger. I am very optimistic about this and have a good feeling I can be disciplined enough to get there! Wish me luck!

GoldStar

That's right, first time ever making gold star, and only half way through the month(posting this late). So my month so far has been...meh, due to me killing 25nl at the beginning,then dropping like 8 BIs then staying even , and now I am working back up. Still in the positive, about 450$ but my goal was def 1k and 50nl shots. O well I am willing to take as much time that is needed to learn and get better at cash games.
Seems like some others are having turn around months, but it seems March Ironic as it is for CC has been unlucky in March.
April is looking to be fun for me. As I will have a lot more time due to only going to school Part Time so I am planning on some deep runs in MTTs. But I am getting a head of myself, March isn't over.
My goal is to stay positive and just win. I am not worrying about points, star status, or tables/hands. It is all about being profitable.
