Out in the Mini GSOP, 99 vs QQ... had to be a bit more patient; shouldn"t have risked my stack (half avg) with that hand. My mistake...

105/323 in the Knockout... no kills yet though

A few other stats:

Total buyins:  $524,72
Total cashes: $1086,95
PROFIT:  $562,23

Sats:
Played: 5
Seats won: 2 (= 40%)

Regular:
Played: 25
ITM: 4 (= 16%)
FT: 4 (= 16%)

It took a while before I started cashing, only in the 9th tournament I noted a first cash (not counting a sat win early on).
I took some time to review hands and that helped me to discover a few things already... Often I just checked down a hand where I was in position and where I was pretty sure I had the best hand. But when it wasn"t a big hand (like only top or 2nd pair), I just checked back and won a smaller pot... Lately I"ve been betting those pots more often and actually get called pretty often.

a few things I"m working on:
- I shouldn"t be too aggressive at times... especially when I have a bigger stack I play more pots (which is pretty logic) but I want to win every pot and sometimes keep betting/calling with just a gut shot or overcards... that has to stop
- if I raise, get reraised and another player calls, I call too often with marginal hands
- I shouldn"t be afraid to raise in early position with a decent hand... especially closer to the bubble, I"m too scared to open a pot in early position with a hand like AJs. This gets better when on the FT for example where i play more aggressively as a lot of people play scared.

I downloaded a ton of videos from DC, so I have a lot of material to learn from



Thanks everyone for supporting me so far; if you see me play and you have remarks or want to check the hand histories, please feel free to let me know. Because: If I win, you win

So far there have been ups and downs, but I feel confident I"m heading in a good direction.
All in all it"s a pretty good start; but I"m sure that more good is around the corner!

Congrats on the results so far, obviously doing a similar thing to on full tilt, it"s nice to get a profit for the investors.

I used to subscribe to deuces cracked but changed to tournament poker edge, it"s about $15 a month and since I subscribed my results and my play has changed so much for the better.

good luck for the rest of the stake.

I also have a similar one running on Stars with some non poker playing mates, unfortunately I am down on that one, they are all ok about it but feel a bit bad telling them about winnings elsewhere, thought I was in for a big one over last two days 2 deep runs in the big $33, got $260 but stil $150 off starting roll.

Thx for the tip; already heard good things about Poker Edge elsewhere as DC is less focusses on MTT and more on cash game. I found a few good MTT videos there, so I"m going to take a look in the next few weeks.

And after that maybe will give Poker Edge a try... $15 a month is not bad, although you can"t download videos there, right?

Good luck with your challenges!!

Thanks for the updates and its nice that you can see where you think you might be going wrong.

Hi.  Well done so far with turning a very nice profit.  I"m working on some similar concepts and have a few thoughts:

- Aggression is key, but just ensure you are selective.  If you run PT3/HM2 you can look at useful stats to start to narrow players opening ranges, 3-bet ranges, limp-call ranges.  Consider your fold-equity when you are betting with a semi-bluff - just looking over 1/2 hands post-session with pokerstove will really help.  Play more pots in-position than OOP when being aggressive

- Ensure you polarise your range when opening from any position.  I tend to open in early position with all PPs (especially where 3-betting is less prevalent as it builds a pot for when I hit a set) ATs+/AJo+ (or something like that range - depending on how many handed we are and passivity/aggression of the table) and then throw in some 86s/97s type hands for when we flop something funky and to give less credit to my premium hands (as players can see I am prepared to raise from earl position more often and may even show down some of these hands)

Hope this makes sense and helps some.

Hi there,
thank you very much... that does make sense! And can be very helpful!!

Damn Russian donks... calling/raising with air and then hitting the river. Not a good start tonight. Lost half my stack in the Knockout

CO raises, I (button) go all in with 20 bb"s with AT. CO calls KJ; easy call of course :s And the donk hits.

Out of the Knockout, why do players just want to call an all in to try and win $2,5... wp sir.

Out of Stars PLO: AAxx vs KKxx vs QQxx ... runner runner flush for the QQ hand
