9 Days To Go - Back In The Black

Its like I'm starting the month from scratch. Back even with 9 days left in March. I need 1,200 VPPs per day to get a $1,600 FPP cash bonus.

Moving in the right direction again:

Irish Poker and Badugi

I've been mixing it up the last few weeks with a few new games.

Firstly I tried Badugi which is a form of draw poker where you target getting the nut low A,2,3,4 but with all different suits. I played a little bit over a couple of days then went onto the WBCOOP event of this format. While I did okay on the cash tables the tourni went pretty bad and I was out quite quickly. I don't really like Badugi that much so it will be a very occasional foray.

The 2nd game is one which I really like. It is Irish Poker and it is like a mix of Omaha and NLHE. The game plays out in a similar fashion to holdem but you start with four cards. The pre flop and flop betting is based on your four card holding. After the flop bet you discard 2 cards and play out the turn and river as in holdem and the winning combo and hand rankings are the same as NLHE too.

I used my free $10 game ticket on Fult Tilt poker and have only played a little so far but have enjoyed it. Iv'e only played the $2 and $5 tables but I am up like 9 BIs already. GG.

Worst Day in 2013

Was playing a mix of ZOOM 50/100 yesterday 8 Tabling and took a pounding. I'm in the red for the month now and need to get my $1,600 bonus and some winnings to turn this around. I took 3x AA

Time to start winning again...!!

How Whales Play Sets

As I spend a little more time at NL100 FR ZOOM I am gradually figuring out who is who. I was in a hand here with 2 unknowns. By then end of my session I noticed that they were both playing a 40+ VPIP over a decent sample and they both received the dreaded 'yellow' tag:

 

I raise my AK and stack off pre 100% of the time vs yellow tags.

New Mix Of ZOOM Games

I have been trying a few new mixes of ZOOM games as a few new levels are now receiving volume.

My old mix for ages was 4x NL25 FR, 4x NL50 FR and 1x NL100 6-max.

Now I am running 2 mixes:

Off Peak Time: 2x NL100 FR, 1x NL100 6-max and 4x NL50 FR

Peak Time: 4x NL100 FR and 4x NL50 FR

So far it is not off to the best start but I have run pretty bad. I will trial this for the next week and see how it goes.

Back On The Up

After a small bad patch I'm back to my post November 1st peak:

WBCOOP 2013 Round-Up

So I think I definitely spent more time playing tournaments this month than ever before. I added lots of others alongside the WBCOOP events and didn't win anything of note. I am way behind on cash games as I was playing far less of those alongside MTTs. I think I may give WBCOOP a miss next time as the prizes are too small and divert valuable time away from my main poker activities.

It was a fun series nevertheless and at the start of the ME I had a shot at the top of the leader board if I finished 1st lol. With 1,009 runners I made 49th after a huge bad beat on the river with my chips in good on the flop (standard MTTs).

I made 5 cashes (tickets) out of 10 events and cashed in the main too. I finished somewhere like 45th on the overall leader board.

A fun series for micro bloggers really but maybe not worthwhile for higher stake players.
