Today I had very good performances. Firstly, I became 8th in the Omaha 10+1 rebuy at pokerstars. I was chipleader almost all the time but when my top set on flop was cracked by A on the turn I was almost down to a shortstack. This happened when we were down to 11 players. I finished 8th winning at about $140. Then I qualified for the BPO Kickoff Bounty tournament with $100+9 buy-in. I finished 91st disappointed at all. At the late evening (or morning maybe?) I came 2nd at $10,000 Gtd at p4e. The most important hand was when I picked up J9s and flopped top pair. I check/reised to all-in and villain called with middle pair holding A5. Blank card on the turn but the river got his 5 and I was down to 3 BBs. GG and Fuck Off!!! Here's the shot http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1900edn0.jpg

Today I almost lost all my nerves on a 30 000 gtd at Stars. The tourney was with 11$ buy-in plus rebuys. 15 mins after the break I was almost chipleader with 25k in chips. And then it started.. Firstly my aces got crack by 9To after an all-in pre-flop. Flop was 9xx with three hearts and I was holding the A of hearts. 9 appeared at the turn and a non-heart card on the river. I was down to 19k just before losing another big pot. Later I doubled up one of the shortstacks twice. Firstly, on AT vs AQ and then on TP+gutshot.. he had TPTK. I was out of the tourney after I was caught stealing blinds with K5s.. maybe I was on tilt, grrrr....
At the moment I'm playing 5k ($25+RB) gtd at p4e and 80k ($50 FO) gtd at Stars.
23:45 WHO THE FUCK IS THE NEW CHIPLEADER!!! I had 15k in chips with an average of about 8k before the big hand. I was dealt JQs from the SB. Someone limped MP reised to 2,5BB and CO called. Me and the BB also saw flop QJx... SB SPECIAL!!! We checked till the MP who made a half-pot bet. CO reised and I just called. Others folded but then the MP pushed. CO just called leaving 8k in his stack. Then I pushed hoping none of them has a set. We opened the cards and shouted immedately. MP had AA and CO had KQ. WHOAAAA!!!!!! Blank turn, blank river and I was with a huge stack of 33, 000 in chips. The blinds were 150/300, 600 players left.
01:15 200 players left and I am the chipleader again. Just before the break I had 65,000 in chips and was at 4th chip position. Blinds were 500/1000 when I was dealt pocket 4s from CO. Everyone folded and I reised to 3 BBs. SB just called and the flop was absolutely perfect JT4. He check/called my half-pot continuation bet and another T turned up making me a full house. We both checked and SB lead the blank river with a 6k bet. I reised him to 16,000 and after taking some time to think he called me mucking AT. My stack increased to 89,650 and I am at the top again. QQ versus AK and I am up to 105,000 in chips.
Finally, I finished on 28th position cashing $180.

Nothing special this week... I played several (6 or 7) tournaments finishing in the money only once. I came 17th at the Omaha tourney I played on saturday. I got busted with QQxx on flop Qxx with two diamonds. The villain had JJ78 or something like that and caught a 4 diamond on river making a flush. I got only 35$ - not enough after I'd become one of the chipleaders if my set hold. However, I am still in some kind of upswing on the cash games. Here's one interesting hand from today -> http://weaktight.com/393971. I'm not sure wether calling preflop is a good idea, but in a pot of $14 and just $4.50 to call plus being in position made my decision to call. I didn't hit anything so I check and the turn gave me OESD+FD. I just called again being sure I'll take all his stack if I hit but I missed he turn. Nevertheless, he checked OOP and I fired a 3/5 "value" bet. Fortunately, he folded and I took the pot but I doubt I played wrong at all of the streets :D.

Omaha :P....
I finished 2nd in the Omaha tourney yesterday. Unfortunately, my AAh24h had been cracked with KJQ4 (K and 4 on board).Here is a scrnshot - 
http://img57.imageshack.us/my.php?image=425lf4.jpg. I cashed $425 and that's second omaha HU in a row. I will play some other omaha tours and I'm starting PL Omaha rebuy $11+R. Yesterday I also took part in $5,000 gtd at p4e but made nothing special.

Again dominating at Poker4ever
Yesterday I took part in $5,000 gtd at p4e. It was my first tourney for a week but I hadn't lost practice. Another final table it the statistics and $400 for 5th place. Also I played in 11$ freezeout in PokerStars but I couldn't make it in the money. At the moment I'm playing $2,000 Omaha freezeout with $15 buy-in. I am 15/66 with 36 players in the money. Meanwhile, I increased my bankroll with 3 buy-ins after 3 short cash sessions. I think I finally got it and soon I'm gonna be a shark :P.

Cash at PokerStars
Last days I've played some cash at 25NL at Stars. I had a problem with Poker Tracker, so I can't show my stats. I may buy the newest version soon. Anyway, I have played for 5 hours these days and my bank grown to 120$ which I find very exciting since it was 20$ last week. I regret didn't play any tournaments, although I'm trying to improve my cash game. I'm going to continue playing at stars - await updates soon =).
събота, 13 септември 2008 г.
Back in the game
I haven't played anything for a long time so my plans for today include playing a lot =). I started with a 4-table cash session at p4e. Three of them were at 50NL and the fourth was at 100NL. After hour and a half I stood with a small profit of half buy-in. Then I moved at Pokerstars and sat down on a .10/.25 table with all my 15$ in the cashier. I was incredibly lucky having a donk on my right. He quit for about 30 mins and my stack had grown up to 40 bucks. I'll play at about 30mins more and I'll take some rest before the tournament session.
I finished the session in pokerstars with stack of 45$. I registered in 5k gtd in b2b (10e rebuy) and 20e FO. After check/reising allin with pocket 5s on a 663 flop I was called by AQo. A queen appeared on the river and I was out from the 5k tourney. I was getting well on the 20e freezeout until we were 2 players left to the money. I was in 10th position and 12 players left when I picked up AKo. CLM-Ivo was the chipleader and he reised from MP. I pushed with my 7,000 chips and he called me with pocket Qs. Two aces came on the flop, but a turn was another queen and I was out again. GG. I continue my tourney session with $5,000 Guarantee at p4e. I'm feeling comfortably with 8,000 15mins after the break. This is the av. stack at the moment.
13 players left, I had an average stack of 20,000 and got AJ. Utg reised 2,5BBs and I called. The SB called and the flop was Jxx with three spades. I reised all-in with TPTK + nutflush draw and utg showed me QQ. Nothing came and I was out 3 places before the money. Fcking day at all.....

Today I was busted on the bubble of $5 bounty freezeout in Carbon. It's not a big problem as I busted one player which returned me 2.50 and I am with a little loss again. In p4e I played some omaha in the Super Satellite for the International Poker Fest in Golden Sands. The tourney was with deep structure and 5,000 starting chips - nice =). I managed to win it and got a ticket of $350. However, I cannot play at the Fest as if I am under-aged. I hope I will be able to sell my ticket. For now Stamen offered me 150e which is not bad. Lately, I sucked out at $5,000 guarantee after pushing T6s with 7BBs left and been called with QQ.
понеделник, 8 септември 2008 г.
For today I played 3 MTTs at poker4ever. Firstly, I took part in one of the Bulgarian Satellites for Omaha tour at the International Poker Fest in Golden Sands. It was with $5,50 buy-in and I made a re-buy after the table turned out to be a lot loose. I became 3rd after flopping bottom set and being called by a str8 draw. "Muckarenko" /msafinx/ caught his str8 on the turn and I was very shortstacked. Soon I finished 3rd and I should cash $30. However, there was some bug in the client and only the first one was paid. I hope Stamen will talk to the manager about the problem. Except that, I played the $600 guaranteed with $5.50 buy-in plus rebuys but I didn't perform very well. At the evening I registered for $5,000 Guaranteed tourney. After flopping set 2s I was beaten by a backdoor flush. I cursed euphoniously and made two re-buys for $25 each. At the break I gave another $25 for add-on and soon I built up a good stack. However, when we were down to 20 players the game was pretty loose and I was in a big drought. I managed to get to the money but I was with 3BBs left. With a lot of patience I survived until 8 players left. Then I layed down AJo after UTG+1 reised and my stack was 1,5BBs. It was a good fold though I was eliminated on the next hand /i pushed the utg+1 with Q9o and the other shortstack was put allin by the ante - unfortunately, he picked two-pair and I was eliminated/. I cashed $225 and I am with $100 profit for today =).
събота, 6 септември 2008 г.
Yesterday I played 2 tournaments in Carbon poker with a small buy-in. I cashed in one of them and finally I was with a negative profit of 2$. I moved in p4e and played a 30-mins cash game. I was with a total profit of more than $70 at 100NL, but I don't feel very comfortable at the cash tables. In the evening I played again the 5k tour finishing in 7th position. After making some big foolish mistakes I was the shortstack almost all the time. However, the p4e players always play like a loosers so I managed to get in the money. On the last hand I pushed the BTN with A6s and 4 BBs left and the chipleader called me with a 78o. I was rivered when a 7 came and took home $275.
четвъртък, 4 септември 2008 г.
A non-cash day
It was an unlucky evening. Firstly, I made a rebuy + addon on $5,000 Gtd, then I got stacked on $4,000 gtd at bodog with K-high flush vs nut flush and finally some retard pushed for 30BBs with QJo on my KK and flopped two pairs. I was down to 10BBs and managed to survive almost an hour but finally my A7o was dominated by opponents AQs.
A two-day rest and plans for September
Last days I took some rest. I was feeling very tired after playing three days in row till 3-4 a.m. so I decided not to play. I prefer playing less tournaments but with maximum concentration so that my ROI (Return on Investment) would be higher. Especially, when I don't have much time and I don't like playing multi-table. My plans for the future include playing $5,000 and $10,000 Guarantees on poker4ever plus some Gtd tours smaller buy-in. There are plenty of tournaments on the other sites like bodog (buy-in at about $30-40), which I like but not gonna play until making at least $2,000 bankroll. For the future, I'll post the results of every tournament I play. Till now, I've played 5 tournaments, finishing in the money in 3 of them. In September I'll try to play at least 50 tours with minimum of 15 cashes. If I manage to triple up my bankroll, I'll be very happy.

$5,000 Guarantee
Tonight I'm playing again the 5k tourney at p4e. I bought in directly for $25+$2,5 and decided not to make any rebuys. However, if it's needed I'm gonna make an add-on at the break.
I started really bad. Firstly, I got down to 1,500 chips after TT. Then I came back to the 2,000 starting chips flopping JJJ on my pocket 9s. 10 minutes later I flopped 494 on my KQs, I made standard c-bet and pushed the turn with a flush draw and 2 overs. Some donkey called me with 88 and I was down to 770 in chips. The blinds went on me and I got even shorter but I managed to get back witn no rebuys. Firstly I flopped top set reising my QQ preflop. I doubled up and later I made a split with AKs vs another AKs. Some reises with marginal hands like K3s made my stack up to 1,800 in chips before I manage to double up again. CO limped and I reised to 500 (5BBs) with Q9s, BB called, CO - too. The flop was 38J and I pushed. BB called me with an A3 and the turn opened T saving me from busting out just before the break. After making an addon my stack is 6,000 in chips which is the average at this part of the game.
15 mins after the break I picked up pocket Qs. The chipleader reised to 3BB and I just called from position, the big blind also called and we flopped 9Tx. They checked and I fired a quick 1k bet. The preflop reiser called OOP but check/folded the blank turn. My stack bacame over 8,000 in chips.
Another 10 minutes and guess what I've god - yes, queens again. Reised standard from UTG and BTN called me. Flop was 5T5 and I bet 950. He thought for a second and called my c-bet. I pushed him at a 9 on the turn for about 2,000 chips. He called again showing posket 8s - do I said I really like those fishes? My stack grew up to 11,700 in chips and got to 10th position - 50 players left.
20 mins later I got AJ and reised 3BB to 900, the shortstack pushed for 900 more and showed AK. Finally, he got flush and I was down to 10,000 in chips. The blinds are 200/400 after this hand.
Later 8 mins before the break UTG+1 limped and I pot-reised him from MP. He pushed and I had very good pot-odds for calling him. He showed Q-rag suited o_O. The flop consisted three spades and he had only 2 outs left. I became with 13,500 in chips - 11k was the average and 33 players left.
First hand after the break: AKs from the SB. Blinds are 300/600 with an ante of 50. Co reised to 1800 an folded after my 3-bet to 6,000. On the next hand I glanced at my cards and got a smile on my aces - red aces. UTG+1 limped and I made a 4BB reise from the BTN. He called and the flop turned another ace. Unfortunately, he folded after my half-pot bet. Another pocket pair appeared on the next hand - 88. Utg+1 reised and I folded thinking didn't have correct odds. A shortstack pushed and UTG+1 called showing KK. The flop was K8x and I was extremely happy hadn't called his preflop reise.
After 2 hours and a half from the beginning I have 18,500 in chips. Av. stack is 15k, blinds are 400/800 on the next hand and we are only 13 people from the money.
00:35 Got TT from SB, CO reised for 2800 and I folded after a lot of thinking. The BB re-reised and both players showed 99 and AJ. An Ace on the river put a smile on my face and the BB doubled up becoming 27,000 in chips.
5 mins later the same guy pushed for 9BBs. I also pushed but his 9s won vs my AJ. I'm down to 10k and 20 players left. Looking for an all-in situation...
00:55 Aces and I'm up to 12k. 1 minute and I picked up AKo from UTG. Reised 3,5k (500/1000 blinds) and the chipleader on my left re-reised for 10,000. I pushed and he showed up KK. I was screaming "ACE" in my mind and it appeared on the turn. "SHIP IIIIIIIT" said 'krisbg' in the chat and his stack was 27,000 already. 5 players more and we are at the final table.
01:26 Playing the bubble for more than 20 minutes. AK on the BB, I got reised and just call hoping to hit an ace and stack him. The flop was 828 and we both checked, turn was K and I checked trying to trap him. It didn't work and I made a value bet after J came on the river. I won the hand and my stack became 30,000 in chips. 3 hands after that some guy got busted and the final table is up to me =).
01:30 Final table started. Blinds are 1000/2000 with ante of 200. Average stack is 35,000 and I am in seventh position with 30,000.
01:35 UTG limped and I follow him holding pocket 2s from MP. The blinds joined us in a 4-way flop and it was 92J all of clubs. UTG made a quick pot-bet and I pushed. He called me showed up ace of clubs. Fortunately, the turn and the river were spades and I became with 65,000 in chips.
While I was writing here some guy went out and we are 9 players left with me as the vice-chipleader lol.
01:42 Another player is eliminated. A9 vs AT - allin preflop. No help on board and we're 8 players left.
01:47 AKs vs AA and 7 players in the battle.
01:53 TT vs shortstack's A7s. The game is down to 6 players.
01:55 I was dealt JJ but when an ace & queen came on the flop the chipleader pushed. I folded and got back to 40,000. 3 mins later I stacked one of the shortstacks with TT, but on the next hand the chipleader reised again and I called him with ATs. The flop gave me flush draw + gutshot and I check-reised him allin. Unfortunately, he had flopped two pairs and nothing helped me.
I'm out on a 5th place winning $400. Why the fuck am I feeling dissappointed =(.

In this place I will document my poker development. In June I started playing freerolls making an experiment - http://www.prognozi.com/forum/index.php?topic=14217.0 . The experiment was successful mainly because of this tournament - http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?image=asdro3.png

I will continue playing at Poker4ever, I really like those fishes there.
