Since I'm a big time Gold Star this month, I figured I might as well play some of the VIP tourneys. So, I played the weekly $75K donkament yesterday. Top 270 cashed, with 270 getting $75. We were down to 271 players left. Blinds were 300/600 and ante 25. I had just folded the BB, and was left with 611 and a small blind of 300 and ante of 50 coming up. So, after posting the SB and ante, I had 261 left....no bueno, but lo and behold I get dealt AA. Muy bueno!!!
Here is what happened....

Well, I know I should've folded AA there. Seriously. Several other players had less than 1000 left, and I had just gotten thru both blinds, so with 261 left, I would be able to post the ante 5 more times, and def someone would've been blinded in and busted out. I used up every second of my timer too.... But fuuuuuuck!!!!!! I finished 271 for a prize of $0.
I also played the weekly Silver star $30K free tourney. Cashed in that for a small amount.
Oh well...the month is still going really well.

Going strong still...
Still having good results....not tilting, and playing solid. I feel that I'm becoming more and more comfortable just evaluating my play honestly, and not worrying so much about the results when I'm playing at a level that I have consistently beaten over a good sample size of games. Things are a little different when playing at a level that has kicked my butt in the past....then I have to think a little bit deeper about it, and make sure there isnt some subtlety that I'm being pwned on and not even realizing it.
Gotta go play tennis in a few minutes, so gonna cut this short.

Another solid day
Played a little bit today, and mostly won. So far in the new Cake account which I opened just to bonus whore ($600), I am 4-0 in $10's, 11-13 in $25's, 0-2 in $50's, and 1-0 in $100's (all HU). In the $25's I got off to a terrible start going 3-10, but obv 8-3 since and won my last 5. The quality of the opponents is noticeably weaker than the $22's on Stars from what I can discern thus far, but we will need to
play a much larger sample to be 100% convinced of that. I'm 80-90% convinced now though frankly. Anyway...still gunning for the $1000 month, minimum. I will be very dissapointed with one dime less than $1000. In fact, I expect to exceed that significantly.

April still going well...
Had a bad run on Cake today and lost like $200 playing mostly $25 Hu, but it was almost all coolers, bad beats and lost flips, so I'm not trippin too hard. Had a good nite last nite...Stars is at the all time high, so that feels good, and I played a little cash on Mysports Poker and did well. Gotta go to the restaurant and do some real work, so I'm gonna make it short.

Good day..good month so far.
Been playing all morning. Happy that I'm getting up at reasonable hour and playing during the day. Was doing the weird all night thing for awhile...I hate that.
Played $11/$22 4 mans and some $11/$20 HU.
Felt really confident in my decisions today.
I really want to have a $1000 month. It should be a cakewalk since I will be
qualifying a $250 bonus during the month....only need 523 more FPP, so that will def happen in April. Unless I get stupid, I should exceed $1000 easily....

Good Sunday....
Had an excellent, low stress day yesterday. Went and played some tennis in the middle of the day...got a good sweat in, and then came home to find my buddy, 1M A SHARK hanging out on IM. We partnered (or should I say pwntnered) some $11 4 mans. We ended up 15-6 and we lost the last 2. I made one of the most questionable plays all day on the very last tournament to lose it.
Here it is...
Wingpin: posts small blind 20
pAtcAsh83: posts big blind 40
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Wingpin [Qd 8d]
Wingpin: raises 80 to 120

*** FLOP *** [Kh 3d 2d]
pAtcAsh83: checks
Wingpin: bets 160
pAtcAsh83: raises 160 to 320
Wingpin: raises 2400 to 2720 and is all-in
pAtcAsh83: calls 2400
*** TURN *** [Kh 3d 2d] [Th]
*** RIVER *** [Kh 3d 2d Th] [7c]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
pAtcAsh83: shows [2s 2c] (three of a kind, Deuces)
Wingpin: shows [Qd 8d] (high card King)
pAtcAsh83 collected 5680 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 5680 | Rake 0
Board [Kh 3d 2d Th 7c]
Seat 1: Wingpin (button) (small blind) showed [Qd 8d] and lost with high card King
Seat 2: pAtcAsh83 (big blind) showed [2s 2c] and won (5680) with three of a kind, Deuces
In hind sight, I think it was a bad play....I was playing very well, and stacks were deep, so no need to go crazy and shove it all in there. But...I was gettting tired, and this guy was 3 betting me quite a bit, so maybe I got a little impatient....and obv if any diamond hits (other than the K) and I look like a genius.
SO...bottom line, made about 8 buy ins without taking much risk or ever getting the least bit stressed. (Except maybe for the runner runner 4's that cracked my QQ!)

Thank god for new months...$1k month in April???
Running pretty good so far in April. Played 15 4 mans with 1M A Shark yesterday, and we went 9-6. He got really unlucky in one tournament that I watched, getting
it in 3 or 4 times with the chip lead and the best hand, only to see this fish suckout every time....he eventually lost the match. We played some $6 4 mans only because his roll is depleted big time due to withdrawals...once we won a few, we played some $11's and we made some more money. Hopefully, if he can build his roll a little, we can start to pwn the $22's 4 mans....I'm ready now. My ROI in my last 50 HU matches with buy-in between $20-$55 is 20%, so if there is anyone with a strong track record wants to partner up on some $20-$33's, I'd be open to discussing.
I created another new account on Cake poker to get a $600 bonus. I've mentioned this a few times before, but I'll say it again....the quality of the players on Cake is dismal. Now I have my stars account, my Cake/sportsbook account (which uses the Cake software skin, but is a separate poker site from Cake), and my Cake account. My username on Cake/Sportsbook is Wingpin just like Stars, and on Cake it's WingmanMtp. One other cool thing. The way Cake qualifies the bonus is in $10 increments that they automatically credit to your account as you qualify. This way, you dont have to wait until the entire thing is earned to see/withdraw any of it.
I do kinda hate the software, but I'll probably get used to it.
Off to an awesome start in April...Hopefully can make it at least a $1K month. I'm feeling really good about it right now.
