Going to chill tonight. I am going to be playing in the $40k Guaranteed tonight and might play a few sngs...Definitely going to fire one up as i play the first part of the $40k...to keep myself entertained and fulfill my need for action.
$40k goes off in about 15 mins...I sure hope some of my hands hold up early...All I ask is that my first 2 confrontations, if ahead, they hold up. And, if i am behind, I hope to suck out....is that really too much to ask?
Updates to come...
Had to update...started the $40k at a table with 6 people...got dealt 55 in the BB. 2 limpers and the SB completed. I checked. Flopped comes 2 4 5. I opened for a 40 chip min raise, one fold and i was reraised to 225. one fold and i called. turn came a 7, i checked and he pushed, i called and he showed AA...river was a 10 and I doubled up in the first hand...
7 mins later, busted another dude with my AKs vs A9s...i caught top pair and he pushed with flush draw on turn...sucka!
Just lost to a str8 on the river...but still sitting with well over 7500 in chips and well over the average...i had over 10k though...im gonna rock this bitch! Im gonna play in a sng satelitte for entry into a $250 buy in $35k guaranteed here at Gila River Casino...winner is guaranteed $10k. $30 buy in winner take all...gets entry and $50 cash.
Ok, first break...I made it :)
I did play a hand too weakly and it ended up costing me...I deserved to lose it, but if I would have played it better, i would have been in amazing position...live and learn.
at the first break, i have 8195 and sitting pretty nicely. tourney started with 2224 and there are only 1064 left, average stack is 6271...so i am going to have to make some moves after the break...lets see what happens.
Well, i busted, but im cool with it. i took a hit early when i raised the 100/200 blinds to 1500 cuz there were 5 limpers and got 1 caller. I had QQ and this buy called with K10...he caught a king...laughable. I just knew i dont have the focus for poker right now...it just doesnt have my interest and i guess thats part of the reason why i realized i need to play less and find a better job. Kinda sucks coming to that realization, BUT it is good that i found a great job and now i can play poker part time for fun money..if i devote an hour a night every month i should be able to win 1500-2000 on the average month, which is a nice chunk of change in its own right, so i think I am going to pull back a bit...playing poker for a living just isnt for me...not that i am not skilled enough because i have proven to myself that i can grind these sngs with success.
I feel a lot of weight off my shoulders...and i think i am going to take a break from party poker for a while and just chill. time to start concentrating on my new job...
