Update Time


Well let me give you a real update.

Been running pretty good in the 109s. It's a grind no doubt. I've had some pretty sick downswings (12 and 10 OOTM streaks in a span of 40 sngs)but you need to be able to play through those and not think about the money. I have 140 buy ins so a 10 buy-in downswing won't bother me as long as I don't think about it as money. After going through that 40 sng stretch, I don't think much can really faze me anymore. I think I've really grown as a player over this stretch of 109s. I'm pretty sure I'm considered one of the regulars now at the 109s on stars. There's about 5-6 others that I see very often multi-tabling them and I chop heads up with. Like I said earlier, my roll is 14K. Once I hit 15K, I'm gonna start mixing in $215s. I've played 16 of them but I told myself a while ago that I wouldn't start playing them again until I hit 15K. Well enough talk, here are some numbers:

(These are not to be confused with the stats I posted in previous entries. The ones previously posted were my overall sng stats for 109s, 75s on FT, and 215s. These new ones are just my 109s).

As you can see, I've played only 320 which is still a very small sample size. I can expect my ROI to eventually drop to 10% or lower. I'm just going to keep grinding these. Another good thing is that I almost have enough FPPs to get the 26" LCD HDTV. Should be a week before I am able to order it :).


I also have some tournaments coming up I'm going to play. There is a series of tournaments I've been playing in on saturdays. They main event is coming up which is a $200 NLHE tournament. The structure is pretty good, they start you with 1500 in chips but blinds start at 5/10 and levels are 45 mins so it's 3 hours of play before the blinds hit 50/100. They also have 2 decks shuffling so you get to see a LOT of hands. I was planning on buying in but I won a seat Saturday for $25 so that will be coming up september 9. I've also won sats to the first 2 WCOOP events on Stars and I plan on playing in both of those ($215 Razz and $530 NLHE, I heart razz).


I'm also moving into my new house this coming Saturday. With classes starting the following Tuesday. Ugh. Not looking forward to that.

Well I hope you enjoyed reading a real entry, now leave me a comment! (I'm sick of courtie getting all the comments aosijdfoajsdfoijaspojrowijapo!#!@#)

Don't buy the LCD with FPP's, get an amazon gift card and then buy it online.

you'll save money that way.
