Uh oh...

So as you can tell March wasn't the greatest month I've ever had... I hit 900 in the cake BR and was sick and tired of 10NL so I moved up to 20NL!!! What a great choice!!! My biggest mistake was not going back to 10NL when I started slumping. And I mean some INTENSE slumping was going down. In the month i lost approx 300, but whats even sicker is that at least 200 of it was lost on rivers which wasn't really fun, and the pots got pretty huge considering the jump was only from 10NL to 20NL... So I'm sitting with 600 in my account ( all bonus $$$ not actual profit since I lost all that loooooool). It took me a while to cash it out since it was a little bit of a hassle with support trying to get my info.

So I cash out everything except 30$. I also took a mini break to clear my head and concentrate on school stuff. I played once in a blue moon but nothing crazy, like a S&G every now and then...

Fast Forward to April 27th. I go into a 24$ 6 Max turbo. 1. Because I'm a donk, and 2. Cuz I was feelin luckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay :S... So 4 handed 97o>QQ so obv i was a pwnasaurus... Ended up taking it down, so, i transfered the remaining $$$ onto stars thru a friend (cuz on cake the minimum cash out thru check is $500). I played 2 tourneys on stars and remembered why i hated stars loooool. So i cashed that out to and kept my stars BR how I like it nowadays ---> $0... :D :D :D

So I was looking at all my other poker sites to see if i had $$$ on them... and I fouuuuuuuuuund one!!! Enter my Starting site from 3 years ago. True poker... I started playing there for free back in the day. I liked the site cuz it was small and had minimal Traffic. And it has 3-D tables. Not like PKR who's software takes up your entire computer. This site is the complete opposite memory wise... 3 years ago when I made my 1st deposit I thought this site was really strong skill wise. BOY was I wrong... Since I've got Xfactor under my belt and am a completely diff player than 3 years ago I figured I'll check it out. I found 30$ on TP, let the micro grind begin, OBV!!!

30$. More than enough :D :D :D... TP has weird structures. 5nl but with 20NL blind structures, 10NL but with 40NL blind structures etc. So I've been 3 tabling the 5NL... Bumped 30$ up to $170 in a week!!! WOOOOOOOOT!!!

I also FT'd a MTT there. Every wednesday they got a 10$ 1000$ guarenteed. 2 weeks ago there was 75 people in it!!! MUST BE NICE. 300 for 1st!!! whaaaaaaat, so I was CL with 30 left, lost 2 races and finished 22nd loooooool.

2 nights ago i joined the same tourney... This time i satted in loooool, 2$ 6max 1 seat (obv) i eliminated everyone (ran like a god) and got my seat. 107 people this time!!! O BOY lololol!!! WHAT A ROLLER COASTER of a tourney... It got exciting when there were about 20 left...

Blinds at 500/1000, (no antes) I forget the hand but i was ahead pre and lost, so i had 2.5 BBs left.
Shove J9 UTG, everyone folds except BB, i hit a J and double. 5BBs
Double again next orbit: UTG limps big stack i shove KTo, He's got AQ, K on flop. tytytytyty
10BBs now.
blinds go by (6BBs now), i got A4o, gotta shove. guy wakes up with TT, A on turn lol
and with 11 people left now last great hand i had to shove JT vs AK, flop a J

Running good now right??? wrooooooong,
FT now
7 left, i shove J9s into shorty, he snap calls with QTo, flop T87 (NUUUUUUTS) and i lose looooool
Turn T, riv 7, FUUUUUUUUUCK OOOOFF
And last but not least
i'm short, (btw with 7 left only 2 people had 10BB or more)
get 66 UTG, gotta go, guy next to me wakes up with Aces,
flop 6xx,
turn brick,
river ACE!!!!!!!!!!!! MBNMBNMBNMBNMBNMBN

With all the shit i had to go thru to get to the FT i guess i deserved those 2 beats. so 7th for a cool 50$, winner got 325 though... :( :( :(

BRs at $220 from $30!!!
Grinding = fun

Some little TP tidbits:
www.truepoker.com
They've got ladder rankings for ring game hands and tourney winnings
They have Status changes too, so now i'm a rookie...
I need 2000 points to hit Bronze status, then they got Silver, Gold, and Platinum
For every $1 of rake, you get 1 point. Below that you get a fraction of a point.
20c rake = .20 status points for the hand etc...

So when i started i had 1.5 status points looooooool (its over a 4 month period)
I had 4300 ring game hands played ( i guess since 3 years ago)
and was ranked 8713th

Since April 27th:
Hands played: 7948
Ladder rank: 6288th
Status Points: 747.15
BR: $221.49
