ALL OVER
Well, Christmas has just about finished & I hope you all had a good one. Mine was pretty decent & i’ve had a few good days. Wasn’t expecting much in terms of presents wise but did alright, got a bit of money, loads of chocolate and smelly stuff and Burton vouchers which i’m off to spend tomorrow I think. As for the money i’m going to get a new bed as my current one is horrible, the sleigh type beds look quality with a memory foam mattress. Anyways will post results.
Early on Christmas Day I decided to load up some games on Stars but realised I wasn’t motivated at all to play and couldn’t be bothered at all. Decided not to play yesterday either as I wasn’t in the house much. Today, however, I have got quite a few games in considering my usual amount. Tried loading up nine in a 3×3 layout on my monitor but once I tried to tile the tables to get the third row it wouldn’t do it and just hid the seventh table behind all the others. So ended up playing about and setup dual monitors for a bit but it wasn’t really working as my monitors are widescreen so there’s loads of gaps in the setup and it’s pretty annoying for me. In the end I just had a layout of six tables and loaded a new game once I went out of one. In the past fourish hours I have got in about 24 games but don’t know exactly as Sharkscope doesn’t seem to do a good job of tracking Betsafe. I only have one game left which is the $11 Rebuy $18,000 Nightly Rehab where i’m 139/148 and only have five big blinds. Well, just after typing that I crashed out after shoving 9Ts in the CO to be called by AQ. I flopped a flush draw but he flopped a Queen and I didn’t improve meaning I have no games going atm.
I’m in profit of $83 so far so not too bad but could have been more as i’ve managed many seconds in SNGs so far, falling at the last hurdle despite having a few big chipleads. Another game I played is the King of the Hill Round Three where I bubbled.
For anyone who has never heard of these, they’re a step structure similiar to those on Party Poker and Poker Stars where by there are different rounds to work up through and a final at the end. In the King of the Hill structure there are three steps then the final which is a 10 man SNG and has a ticket value of $215, however, the guarantee is $3500 as OnGame add money to these. It’s pretty top heavy with first place getting $2500, second place receiving $650 with third place winning $350. So far I have played three $25 feeders into the KOTH step 3 and have won two tickets. From these I have came third twice, which gives you another shot at step three and finished fourth from both these replays. It’s been pretty frustrating as first and second go through to the final. I am confident I will be able to work my way through these two tables, it’s just a matter of time.
Tonight was also the Pokerstars World Record tournament which carried a $1 buyin and a $300,000 guarantee. There are 149,196 entrants and I went out pretty quickly after treating it as an open shove tournament and shipped Tens to be called by Ace King after about six hands. He hit his Ace on the flop and the first prize of $50,000 was not going to be mine. It’s been playing for three hours and there are 1724 left with the structure being very fast. The person who wins has a pretty decent late Christmas present.
I was thinking earlier about the end of the month and I have no clue whether I am in profit or not. I couldn’t even hazard a guess but I want to put in alot of volume through the next few days to increase my chances of ending up in profit, even though I could be currently.
Going to see what the traffic’s like on Betsafe and see whether it’s worth loading up a few more sets or not. Otherwise i’ll probably play some XBox or watch Dexter &/or some films.
