So I haven't posted in some time for so many reasons. First I have not had a good run over the last month. I was down about $3-4,000 from my MTT play and was getting beat with AA and KK consistently. It almost seemed as though I could not win a hand. I also experimented with several other styles and techniques. Some worked and some didn't.
Another factor for me not posting is the idiotic legistlation the the US government that shut down my favorite site - Party Poker. I am now almost 95% on Poker Stars under lfunk11.
Another factor is my wife and I are now expecting our second child and she has had a rough case of morning sickness that lasts all day. She was hospitalized with our son twice for dehydration so lets hope it doesn't get to that point. I have still been playing, but when I am not working my son takes up all my time since she has been so sick of late.
So recently the cards have begun to turn in my favor a bit and I placed 5th in the Saturday $150 NLHE event at Stars. It was a funny FT since I belong to pokerXfactor and Johnny Bax is one of the "instructors" there and he was at the FT as well. I played well enough, but when I got KK and QQ my hands were not called. So I cashed for $3646 and basically wiped out my negative run.
I placed 28th out of 699 players last night in the $22 rebuy on Stars. I only had 7500 chips after the add-on and only spent $62 on the initial rebuy and the add-on. I moved up to 8th in chips with about 100 people left, but got chipped down and busted out with A9 vs KQ.
Over 322 hands I never had AA, KC, QQ, JJ, 1010, 99, 88. I had 77 and 66 once and I had AK twice and AQ 4 times. So with no cards I managed to get pretty far.
So look for me nightly in the $150 NLHE on Stars at 9:10pm EST and I will be playing some $1/$2NL cash games to supply my buy-ins as well.
