Roller Coaster bankroll, WSOP bets, and future events

So with some free time I've been playing a good amount. The mini ftops was really the lowest point for me I was virtually down to the felt (broke) with online but after a transfer from my bro and gf I was able to work it back up to 200 only to lose it all again. I had 10 msop freerolls and managed to cash in 7 of them for...11 bucks! Until my last one where I got 2nd in a field of 1100 for 75 bucks! So decently back. Big couple results recently finished 2nd in back to back 5 buck turbos, one for 91 bucks other for 140. So now I have 350 with a big tournament tomorrow. 10 buck msop event #4 80k guaranteed. Pretty excited. Only played 4 events last year and cashed in 2, including the main event, the event that still haunts me today. 29th for 1300 where 1st got 73k. UGH

Ok start of summer means the start of the world series. My main man platt and I are gonna have a ton of bets going. Heres what we have right now. The 40k event is going on right now we both won one of the last longers- I won Justin Bonomo vs Shannon Shorr and he won Greg Raymer vs Hcuk Seed. We have a 50 buck bonus if one of our guys makes final table and 100 bucks if one ships it. Right now with 23 people left, my horse bonomo is chip leader! But Raymer not far behind in 5th should be reallly exciting tomorrow. We also have an overall leader board picking 3 players and the team with the most money in the series wins. His team: negraneu, chad brown, and Andy Bloch. I got Phil Ivey, Jesus Ferguson, and Men the Master Nguyen.

Lastly got a couple live events coming up. Platt will be in vegas the weekend of the 12th but unfortunately I already had a couple tournaments at the bike circled on my calender. Gonna play a 175 buy in that friday and a 120 that sunday. Alot of the regulars and good players should be in vegas, so I'm excited hoping I can make a deep run will post details.

Lets go ZEEJUSTIN! Will post updates tomorrow gl to platt not really lol need my 150!

Playing in three big tourneys starting with Mini Ftops 8 a 26 buy in 6 handed Kp. Starting with 5k in chips. Will keep you guys updated as I go on.

Mini FTOPS #8: out

God this tournament has been so frustrating. Had it up to 10k but down ever since. Twice now I've been called with bottom pair after raising the river when I was bluffing these guys can't fold a freakin hand I've hit maybe .2% of hte flops and the one time have a monster QQ on a 662 a guy has the nut flush draw and hits it. Well that didn't last too much longer. Called a raise in the sb with 55 flop comes J4J. Check guy bets 220 into a 600 pot. I raise to 650 with about 2k behind. He calls. Turn is a 4 I push he insta calls with KJ. Lol I couldn't hit a flop all day oh well

Double Deuce: started with 3220. Got 5390 2hours in. blinds 80 160. Average 6232. 2057 of 4285

God it would be nice to hit a freakin semi bluff once in a while. Called a raise in the bb with 74 of hearts flop comes Q63 two hearts. I check he bets 660 with 3k behind I shove he obv shows a Q KQ to be exact and obv i cant hit my 13 outs. Down to 2k and then I shove in late pos. with A4 called by A10 and for the 30th time it seems when I'm dominated we both flop our undercards on a 1064 board and I can't catch up. Frustrating to say the least.

Mini ftops #10 started. 10k people. need a good run or else my roll is in trouble lol wish me luck.

Down to 4k. Pretty much sums up my life for 3 months on ftp. Had AQ flop came Q95 I bet raised to 230 I call. Turn K he bets 300 I call. River 5. He bets 600 I call. Shows KQ. Thanks god I didn't get it in on the flop.

Out 9900th. I'm so beyond disappointed right now. With blinds at 25 50 guy with 10k raises to 550 utg. I have QQ. The way I've been running I shoulda just folded but I shove and to no ones real surprise he flips AA. Flop comes J109 all diamonds I have a diamonds but shock #2 so does he. 3 on turn 3 of diamonds on river Q high flush no good.

God I feel like throwing up right now this is so fuckin sick how badly I run in these things can't hit a freakin draw get suckouted on and cooler what else do you want. I need a break.

Mini FTOPS Event #5 tonight

tayke2 On 6:00 PM

So after a change of plans I'm going to play the 22 buck stud hi lo tourney tonight. Gonna start with 4k in chips and guessing its going to get about 1500 people. 20 buck buy in means probably a 6k first prize. I'll post updates every thirty minutes or so.
Out in 415th

ugh got it up to 6k and have been in a downward spiral since. Biggest shot I had at getting chisp back was a 6 low but couldn't beat a pair of freakin 3's for the high. Levels going up to 200 400 so I'm either going broke in 10 mins or I'll have 10k we'll c.

lol called it up to 13k one time baby! Ugh ran Aces and eights into a flush then had two apir and a flush draw coulnd't beat trip queens down to 6446. Levels are at 600 1200 so I have 5 big bets lol. Sweet. Ugh had QQ on 4th street hit two pair on 6th but some dude hit runner runner A6 for two pair. Standard.

Mini FTOPS Event #1

tayke2 On 6:33 PM

Started with 14,059 players.
Out in 3250ish

Pulled a sick bluff with a pair of 6's on a 4 diamond board and reraise this guys 3 bet with top pair. Details comin later. Flopped a straight vs top 2 pair.

I need to get moved right now. No one at my table has under 20k. FML Ugh. Had A8 flop A25 I bet 600 call. Turn 3 guy bets 2k I call river 5 6k he had just lost a bluff hand before thought he was tilting I call shows Q fucking 4.

Ugh well after that last hand I was knocked down to around 20 big blinds. I raise on the button agaisnt hte bg stack at the table for the second orbit in a row with AK ready to snap call his all in if he does. He jsut calls flop comes 889. Pretty sure I'm ahead here even if he called with 66 or under I have tons of out. He checks I bet 2k he raises to 6.5k. This looked weak to me like two high cards trying to pick up the pot. I go all in he calls shows A fucking nine dude hits a 3 fucking outer on me. Board blanks out and I'm out.

I'm so fucking sick of losing bullshit hands like that 3 hours of work and two three outers do me in I coulda folded the A8 but thought he was tiliting and no surprise the big stack 3 outers me its so fucking sick but what can u do. Back on the grind sunday big day we'll c how it goes.

Full recap of the Commerce Tourney

tayke2 On 8:33 PM

Ok played in a 300 buy in tourney with 307 people. 36 paid didn't see what first got paid. I started off really hot with a great first table but once my first table got broke up I didn't get much going. Here are the big hands I remember.

We started with 3k in chips and on the 3rd hand I was already down to 2500 after tryin to get tricky with 75 suited. With blinds at 25 25 I made it 125 with QQ. Guy right to my left made it 600 to go and it folded around to me. I thought about going all in but wasn't too keen on going broke in 3 hands so I just called. Flop comes Q72 with two spades. YAHTZEE. I check and guy bets 800 I do the terrible move of min raising 800 more leaving just 400 behind. He pushes and I snap call he shows AK of spades for the flush draw ABSOLUTE WORST HAND HE COULD HAVE. I dodge the 9 outs and I double to 5.2k right off the bat.

I picked up alot of big hands without much action, AK KK JJ etc. Then I call a 100 raise with Q8 of clubs on the button. Flop comes 1052 two hearts. Guy just bets 10 and I raise to 350 thinkin he's got nothin but he calls. Turn 4 of clubs and I have a draw he pushes for 625 I announced that I didn't' have anything until that. I call and bam club on the river.

Later on I raised with 99 and got two callers include a real calling station type guy. The flop came 975 two clubs yahtzee! It checked to me now normally I check here but knowing the guy was a calling station I bet 325 he calls. Turn is J of hearts 2 flush draws I bet out again 625 he calls again. River 2 of hearts flush made it but very unlikely he hit backdoor flush. I set him all in he calls I confidently turn over 99 and he mucked. Really proud of how I played that hand.

Well sadly I got moved and anyone who's played poker knows how much u hate it when you get moved from a table ur running hot at. I had about 7k at that time and I really couldn't get anything else going. I can't remember many big hands at my second table. I got moved to another table with about 4.5k with blinds at 100 200.

I pick up 88 and raise to 600. Guy calls and the flop comes 1072. I bet 800 he calls. Turn is another 10 he pushes 700 More I call he has 99 lame! River blanks and I'm down to 3.2k. This guy wasn't very good but for watever reason had my number as u will soon see(he put 5k in on the flop with top pair against bottom set.)

Two hands later I pick up 88 again and raise to 650 after an utg limper. Folds back to him and he pushes. More often then not, an utg limper and raise all in is a monster so I fold. He later did the exact same thing and sure enough had AA.

So then with 2.2k I push with A9 and that same guy called for 1.2k with A10 again just has me beat! Down to 750 the sb pushes against me I call with A7 he has 92 and I hold. I push uncalled with a few hands JJ, J9. Then I push with A4 suited. Get two callers including the guy who has me beat. I get up knowing he's got me. The flop comes 3KQ and sure enough AQ for him has me crushed. Out around 100th.

Pretty upset after having a great start but what can u do. Ok lot of FTP coming up starting on Weds mini ftops Event #1 a 22 buy in 6 handed that will probably get 12,000 people. Lol will post full recap and likely will have updates.
