September recap, HELLLLLLLLLLO OCTOBER!!!

Been putting off making this post for a while, mostly due to the fact there has literally been nothing to report on the poker front... September contained lots of small ups and downs, I think I finished something like -3k overall from roughly 30k worth of buyins over 700odd MTTs. I got pretty frustrated with it at times for obvious reasons, tournaments are fucking gay when you don't win at them.

Luckily, life has been pretty fucking sweet lately in other areas (apart from the massive beats of losing both our grand final and Collingwood winning the AFL grand final replay..) Me and the footy boys had two massive three day benders, one after the grand final loss on Saturday into Silly Sunday into Mad Monday, followed a couple of weeks later by a very loose excursion to the Gold Coast for footy trip. In fact, I am still recovering almost two weeks later from the Gold Coast trip - mbn to get the flu.

Finally, I have managed to start October with a bang! Casey and I went up to Star City on the public holiday monday to play the $550 deepstack which I promptly busted out of TT < QT (hof raise/call from MP for 20ish bbs) Jumped on the 200-500 table and doubled up quickly to 1k, then moved that to play the 500-2k game for the first time. Doubled with QQ, made it $80 from the CO, get 4 callers, flop 743r and check shove on the button who made it very clear he was going to bet if checked to who promptly SNAP calls with 99 (COOLER_BRO) Kept winning pots here and there got up to a high of about 4k then lost a largish pot 3betting QQ and got it in on the turn for 1k on T942hh and lost to T9o. Still finished up 2.5k which was very nice as I flew down to Melbourne on Tuesday.

I've stayed with the Hugh & Julian Cohen, Tollgate and Weygang for a couple of days then checking into Crown today (love winning packages!!) Anyway so hanging/grinding with the boys has been very fun & profitable; I shipped a ANZPT seat on the Tuesday night which = $2.5k in $T then got up early to grind Wednesday morning with the non-so dedicated grinders joining me later in the morning. Anyway they say a picture tells a thousand words so..



All up managed to book about a 10k profit online since ive been down here, hopefully the upswing continues for the $1,100 6-max today and the ANZPT Melbourne main event this weekend! I'll update the total when I get home, but I'm proud to report it should be looking a lot more healthy! (or a lot less sick)

Breakeven week... GRAND FINAL THO!

Had a pretty decent day today which put a positive spin on what has been another pretty ordinary (but at least breakeven) week. I really felt like I played well today and ive been able to control my buyins however I still get involved in the occasional 109, I guess I cant resist trying to clear this downswing all in one hit! Cashed in a bunch of stuff today (21% ITM, $38 ABI, 38 MTTs) including some stuff id love to win one day; $55 daily 90k on stars, $55 40k, $20 1r1a... Although I did manage this:

Dear ragenut,

You finished the tournament in 2nd place. A USD 2,490.00 award has been credited to your Real Money account.


in the $55 500 cap. Top 3 finishes have been hard to come by lately, and hopefully I'll be able to emulate this soon in something a bit bigger! Looking back, I've had a couple of really deep runs go not as far as I would have liked in bigger shit, got a 21st in $109/125k gtd and 160th in the millball last monday, as well as bubbling for a 2nd ANZPT melbourne package on Friday night. I guess I just have to keep plugging away and hope something eventuates. Also the total doesn't include the two ANZPT packages i've won (shipped a Melbourne one last week sometime) so I guess things aren't quite as bad as they look. Ill def be playing the Sydney Champs ME ($1650) so hopefully I'll get my live rungood on!

In other more important news the mighty UNI BULLDOGS have managed to secure a grand final berth in both grades this Saturday! I kicked three goals in our semi the weekend before last, and went down the weekend just gone and got shitfaced on the sidelines watching first grade get up followed by the SCAFL preso night. Anyway regardless of outcome this weekend is going to be fucking massive, and im going to be super fired up for the game... So hopefully will see all you shit cunts there ;)

RESULTS:
Today: +$1529.51
OVERALL: -$19,795.75
