Also, busted what little money i had on full tilt thanks to Sam Granger sucking out on me for stacks THREE times. SIGHduck.

f*** 2-7 Triple Draw
Just played some 2-7 Triple Draw, getting cocky with my mixed game success. $2/$4 and i fairly quickly managed to blow through my $80 buy in. I was either constantly getting coolered (making an 8-7 and running into 8-6 etc CONSTANTLY), or I need to do some serious study of the game. I do feel that 2-7 is probably the weakest of my games out of all the games offered on stars, but i'd still hope to be +EV in a $2/$4 game. Maybe that's optimistic at the moment. Rest assured i'll be beating high stakes in a year or two.
Mixed Gamez
So, so far in August i've been trying my hand at a load of mixed games. This weekend my results are:
All NLHE: 2,200 hands +$1,550
$100 PLO: 1,200 hands +$430
$2/$4 O8: 200 hands +$65
$5/$10 O8: 150 hands -$150
$3/$6 Razz: 200 hands -$4
$3/$6 Stud: 150 hands +$160
$3/$6 Stud hi/lo: 25 hands +$15
$3/$6 Limit Hold 'Em (6-max + FR): 1,500 hands +$680
Poss one of my best weekends ever, making roughly $2.75k.
Also played this fun limit hold 'em hand where we actually capped the betting on every street. And i won cos i run good http://www.pokerhand.org/?3022662
Very happy if i can easily clear $1k a day if i'm to go pro next year. Obviously i'm running quite good overall atm, but I don't feel i'm far away from making +$1k days the norm. So bring on a +$300k year imo :D

kings are rogged
2.5k hands today, +$530. Lost 6.5 buyins with pocket kings though, so it could be a lot better, lol.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2954463 - good thing i didn't run kings into aces when nearly 200BBs deep.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2954467 - my 4-bet size is lol bad here, probably meant to make it $35. Still get stacked here though.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2954474 - KK < AK all in pre
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2954478 - expert setmining from villain. sigh.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?2954481 - KK into AA AGAIN.
gg KK, gg.

maybe next year
So, WSOP satellites pretty much sucked. In the last one, i came ~70th out of ~900, with 50 packages available. Goddamnit. I picked up a big stack and I think i was the chip leader a couple of hours in, but from there I largely sat back, where i think i should've pushed a bit to pick up as many chips as i could.
Just finished a heads up session against a massive fish. Only 50nl, but took $330 off him in <200 hands. Pretty sweet. Still got a while to rebuild though after the WSOP fiasco.
Current aim is to have a 5 figure roll in time for september, when i'm doing the "going pro" thing.
From there, i will play cash during the week, take saturdays off, and grind donkaments on the sunday. In the next year, i also aim to play in PCA and WSOP main event minimum. Also want to play APPT Seoul and at least one EPT.
I also aim to write a book detailing the following year, so hopefully that'll get published and i'll get snapped up by stars or something cool. :)
You can also now access this blog from www.mixmastered.co.uk. Yes i was sad enough to buy my own domain name. Will prob get some web designer to make me a cool website at some point :)

Satellites suck
Just busted 131st out of 772 in the $650 on stars. 37 packages. From 200 people down, i just never had any hands, and eventually shoved 10BBs from the button with K9o, only for the small blind to wake up with QQs. Sigh. gg life. I knew it wouldn't be my tourny when i had AA, and some guy flatted with KK. Flop came A high, so i don't get my easy double up. grrr. Running out of chances now.

The Cost of Ambition
Went to Leamington yesterday to purchase a wii. While onthe bus, i started thinking about how much i've spent on WSOP satellites, and it was not fun. Here's the tally so far:
Played:
2 x Double Shootout = $430
3 x 30+R ~= $350
~4/5x 11+R Turbo ~= $250
1 x $650 = $650
2 x Step 4 entry = $430
To Play:
$550 150 seat guarantee on Full Tilt
$650 MTT on stars
$370 200 seat guarantee on Stars
$215 Team Moneymaker satellite.
Total ~= $4k.
Obviously the actual total i've spent is a lot less than this due to winning sub satellites etc (which i've grinded hard last couple of weeks and had a lot of success), but $4k is still a big proportion of my roll, and bankroll nits would throw their arms up in response to my behaviour. But damn, I want to play in WSOP. And if i don't win in any of the 4 remaining satellites, i'll just have to console myself with the fact that i was still a long way from matching jambon's effort last year (he spent >$12k to try to win a $12k package to no success). Maybe i'll be a sicko and win a seat in all 4 satellites. That'd be nice.
