New grinder blog!

Hi!

I am "TwistedKites" from Finland. This is my first English blog ever and wanted to start one - just for fun and then to write down about my life in poker.

I have played since December 2006. Mostly from micro to low limits. Sometimes I've been up, the most of time grinded in the zero level. As I am working full-time, I am playing more for to get better player, not necessary for money. Currently I am grinding at NL50 level full table holdem at TitanPoker and some tournaments here and there. In the beginning of the year I played more tournaments on PokerStars, but last months has been more on ring games. Of course I mostly play holdem, but I can play all mixed games variants - HORSE sngs are interesting! I have decided to play more MTTs again this summer. My Excel sheet since December 2008 shows only 94 MTTs - I have cashed in 28 of them, total winnings is 2751 dollars and ROI 221%.

Yesterday's action:

Two day's ago at Stars I played for the first time interesting 22$ big ante MTT. In this MTT antes start from level one and they are bigger than normal. Well, actually people play it more or less like normal, but you get chipped out quicker when blinds and antes start to be higher. It also requires more action earlier than in the normal MTT. Two days ago I finished 11th of 189 players. Yesterday I was quickly out!

At Unibet there was a bounty tournament with brandnew braclet-winner Ville Wahlbeck. Unfortunately I didn't get to play in his table. Special bounty price was trip to Unibet London main event! This is a weekly tournament and winners of this tournament series get an entry to Unibet London. Structure in this MTT is quite a bingo after one hour and there is almost no post flop play after an hour. This is a rebuy-MTT. I made one rebuy after first hand: my JJ 3bet all in was called by two AKo:s who rivered an ace ... nice 4 outers. I finally was knocked out when my AK was busted by pre flop limper-caller's ATo. I finished #21 of 104. But I cashed also once yesterday (out of 4 MTTs): I was 11th in Full Tilts 5 dollar HOSE-tournay! Whopping 9.35 dollars ...

I am playing WSOP Megasat next Sunday. 200 WSOP packages in the price pool! I won this sat seat via Nordic WSOP sats. First I finished 2nd in daily 22 dollar sat and then finished in top20 in week final.

I set up also ChipMeUp account: http://chipmeup.pokernews.com/players/show/16925
I will play Sunday Warmup, where stakes are available *hint**hint*
