Indeed, getting better....

2009-07-03T07:03:12Z

Hello everyone,

Yes, indeed, it's getting much better. I'm baaaack!!!! ....for the most part.

I had another league qualifier today...the last one. Another final table for me @ Red Kings.

Today, we had 49 players with ITM @ top 5. Same buy-in $10+1 NL. Was able to reach 1st place and keep it for a good 1/2hr. Stayed in top 5 for the last quarter of the game to finish...

3rd to secure $118.40. Yessssss ....!!!

Prior to this I had played the "$10K Add. Summer Party for $10+1", w/2,033 Players. I ITM @ 474th place for $16.02.

Not a bad day's work. I will be putting an event to sell on CMU soon.

Stay tuned....

Finally !!!

2009-06-30T22:15:01Z

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.

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

2009-06-14T14:58:59Z

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

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.

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"

My win of this past April

2009-05-27T18:29:43Z

Howdy folks,

So here I am trying to keep track of what is happening in my poker. Never done this before so....bare with me please.

I'm starting this experiment with a great win today. If you have seen this somewhere else, don't be surprise. I have and will post this one everywhere I can. Needless to say this one is the jewel of my crown, IF you will....

April 19, 2009 - After a game of OFC (Online Forum Challenge) Buy-in $5+.50.....

Whoooooo Hoooooooooo !!! Yabadabadooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!

This is how this came to be....

Finished 69th in the OFC at Cake today, only 9 short of the moulah. Was pretty upset about it (made some pretty big mistake). Anyways went into the lobby and saw there was a qualifier going on for the $20K Gtd. So thought to myself, well... $5+.50 with a bunch of tickets given entry. Whyyy not!

Whoooo Hoooo!! Made 2nd place and qualified for the game half an hour later. Took a shower and got myself mentally ready and the time came.

Sat down with my cola and started playing while the hubby was making supper (he didn't mind since I was trying to get us some $$$).

Came down to H/U with this guy which kept going in pretty strong each hand. Almost got him too. Figured I had a pretty good chance since I had a lunatic at final table who was re-raising with crap ( and I mean CRAP) all of the bloody time, and got her out!!

Anyways, didn't finish first but was one hell of a good battle....

A great payday for sure.... $3,268.00

Stay tune for the next instalment ......
