• Finally !!!

  Juni 30, 2009

  Finally!!! I believe my "dry" period is coming to an end. Yesterday, I used up a few tickets I had accumulated on 770 Poker to fill up my bankroll, successfully. So decided on a real try today...

  Realising I had a league qualifier today on Red Kings, I'd soon see if I was right...

  $10+1 NL $250 Added. Top 10 paid. 70 Players

  Good start for the most part, but soon found myself in the bottom half. Was a struggle for most of it, but I was on "top of my game", so to speak. I distinctly noticed getting fewer bad beats and a bit more luck, compared to what I have been suffering through for the past few weeks.

  Managed to secure an 8th Place, for a 270% profit.

  I will soon see if this game was a fluke, or if I'm back for a while.

  Stay tuned.....

• Some small wins.

  Juni 27, 2009

  Hello everyone,

  I'm sorry to report that my "dry" period is hanging on for dear life. I have managed to secure some small wins, but nothing to write home about, THAT's why I'm writing it. LOL

  I have been playing more on Poker Stars lately, I have re-discovered Stars after a few years of abstinence. They have some cheap guarantees running through out the day, which is nice. I've been pretty successfull in them, over all. I'm glad to see many of them are WITHOUT rebuys.....never liked them much. If I ever feel the need to go to a circus, I WILL!

  Stay tuned.....

• Small gain yesterday

  Juni 14, 2009

  Hello there,

  I've been going through a rough week. The decks have been cold with a fair share of bad beats. Yesterday, wanting to play but to keep it fairly safe, I registered for the $40,000 Gtd - $3+.30 R/A at Stars.
  Was a struggle through out w/me hanging below average for most of the game. Was able to get ahead a little before the money. Needless to say I didn't make final table, but still managed a profit. I didn't re-buy, but purchased an add-on.

  So for a $6.30 investment;

  Players = 4,454
  Top paid = 675
  Finished = 128th
  Win = $66.27
  Net Profit = $59.97

  Stay tuned....

• Another small win

  Juni 07, 2009

  Howdy everyone,

  My day started out rather bad...woke up way too early with a bunch of noises in the backyard. After a few cups of coffee, I wondered what was happening game wise on the net. So started looking.....

  Nothing too exciting, but Stars had some "crazy" qualifiers for the $¼M later on, so decided on trying that. Figured for a $1.10 what the hell! Talk about crazy.... you guys probably know what I'm talking about: they run every few minute with a max of 36 players, xtra turbo with 500 chips. Anyways, by the 3rd game I qualified (cheaper than buying the $11 entry to the event).

  When the time game I sat down and proceeded to work through the huge field of 29,214 players registered. Up and down through out, but in good shape for most of it.

  I made my move when it looked as if I wouldn't go any further: in good position, with 3x the blinds (6K blinds), I raised. One other player followed. The flop came Xx. With 2 clubs on the board, I went in for 12K and the other player raised. Figured, he wanted me off the pot, I pushed all in. To my amazement he called!!!....with a flush draw. Amazing he followed me pre-flop with a !!!!!!!!! Needless to say he caught his club on the river to take me out in 1,373rd place.

  Still took home $46.75. Not too shabby for a $3.00 investment. Still, I had to get "shit" from the hubby who thought I should've fold after the flop. With my AK ???? . He doesn't play poker....

  Let us see what else I can do...

  Stay tuned for the next instalment of....

• June starts w/a nice one.

  Juni 02, 2009

  Howdy everyone,

  I had not played a good game in over a week, when I saw this $10,000 Guaranteed at Cake yesterday. Having some good finishes as of late on that site (see previous post) and the "feel" was not too bad, so thought I'd give it a try...

  Half way through, things didn't look too bright. Was down to about 1/3 my stack when this loose player gave me some pretty good signs of a fairly weak hand, with my "big slick" ( os), I thought to raise him a fairly good amount. To my surprise he called and brought me back into the game. A few good hit after that brought me into the top 10%. Reached 1st place a while later. Was able to maintained that position for quite a while before slipping back and forth between the top 10.

  Was able to secure 10th place for a nice $210.00. The field was at 172 players w/a buy-in of $50+5, so not a bad start for the month. Hoping to get another opportunity soon.

  Stay tuned for the next instalment of....."A day in the life of Daisy"
