Roller Coaster, but not going up
Wow. I'm not really sure what is going on. I have been running the worst I ever have in my life. Even my coach, JKrantz, seems to think it's unreal :). Anyway, I had hands like my 22 vs. K8 on a 2K8 flop, of course K turn. Then there was my AA vs. KK all-in on the flop, K turn. Let's see, QQ vs. A9 AIPR, quad aces. It has been unreal.
So, I plummeted in NL200, which was 85% variance 15% tilt. Still that 15% cost me at least a buyin, so maybe it's more 70/30 or 75/25. Either way, I am slowly recovering. I have been playing MTT qualifiers on Party, where I managed to accumulate about 5 buy-ins for the 1 million guarenteed, and a buy-in for the 750k next week. So, Party is forcing me to play in those. Oh, that QQ vs. A9 hand was the second to last hand HU between the last two people in the 1M qualifier, so effectively it was a $640 suckout. Good times.
I am banning myself from cash games for a while. I am doing quite well playing the MTT qualifiers, and finally figured out Stars tonight (I decided to deposit there, and turned a profit. Also, the 3 qualifiers that jsup from pocketfives.com and cardrunners.com was in, he got sucked out and I won all three :) ). I sucked out vs. his aces though in the most gresome bluff ever. runner runner K8 giving my 8K two pair. Like I said, except for my lessons with JKrantz, I will basically be playing these SNGs until I bring my bankroll up to about 10k. Although my actual bankroll is much larger, I only alott a certain amount as my "Partypoker bankroll." The profit from the stars SNGs will go into that fund, though.
In the stats, I will put in parathesis the profit if you count the Party MTT buyins as profit, as you have to take the first entry, and the ensuing ones are deposited as cash in your account. I try not to because I feel I am dead money in these tournaments anyway. Of course, I played the 1M great today, after one stupid play (double barrel) in the first hour and down to 3450/5000, I built it up to 20000 at the second break by a couple really good reads, two real cards in my hand, and a couple steal. My fate was sealed when I called a minraise from a fish who I felt I could outplay postflop about 30 minutes into the third hour. He had about 30000 and I had maybe 17k. I held 68, and creamed myself as the flop was 79T. He check called a 2500 bet into a 3500 pot. Then, he c/red AI on a 5 turn. I instacalled, and he flipped over 8J. I cried. I felt good about playing a solid 2.5 hours of good poker, though. Well, I need to get some rest so I can hit up the Stars SNGs tomorrow before the 1M tourney. I'll leave you with my stats.

NL200: 1707 hands of pure, unadultered rape. -$2025
PP SNGs: -$108
PP MTT SNGs: $960 ($1987)
Stars MTT SNGs: $921

On second thought, I really hate how Party makes you play all those entries. These days wouldn't be that bad otherwise... maybe I should learn how to play MTTs...
