ALL PREPARED FOR TOMORROW

Just did a huge post that failed so cant be rsed now. Cliff notes below.

1) Avoided everything today - parties / poker etc and just chilled as prep.
2) Got bored around 930 and played a sat to FTOPS 2300$ event that i took down and won a seat.
3) I am 250-1 with Pad Power for Irish open (bad value) but 70-1 for sole survivor (OK value)

330 Kick off tomorrow, lunch with Paddy Power when i find out how bad the gear I have to wear is!!!!

MARCH POKER PROFIT

FL -1375
Multi 2325
NL 645
PLO 1195
RAKEBACK 235
TOTAL PROFIT 3025

Very strange month in terms of swings, overall probably happy at finishing point as in Animal style i have taken out the 750 buy in for the PLO at Irish Open that i may or may not play.

POSITIVES

1) Multi form still good, just missed out on big score in Omaha.

2) PLO game getting better (I think!!!) and nice to see a profit.

NEGATIVES

1) Had huge 2 day downswing in NL which wiped out 1/3 of years cash profits on *s and destroyed my bankroll on that site.

2) Fixed Limit return was a disaster - avoid.

Feel pretty good going to Irish Open - one time etc etc

MARCH SPORTS LOSS

Mainly Cheltenham - did Ok on other stuff.

Darts 40
F1 -390
Football1590
Golf -140
Horses -1020
Rugby -320
TOTAL -240

BETTER THAN MESSI??????

SUNDAY MULTIS WASHOUT

Played warm up on *s
A sat for Nott UKIPT
and Turbo takedown

Cashed in none exits as follows.

1) Warm up got stacked and got in in with flush draw v top pair shit kicker and missed. I prob telegraphed i had f draw.

2) Nott UKIPT got it in with 88 v A8 he spiked 8 for stacks (was turboooooo)

3) Turbo takedown got well stacked and all in KK v AA versus other big stack.

Out all them.

This has been a strange month and not sure whether to be pleased just by the fact I am in profit, however i ain't done SuperNova volume yet on stars so need to do 1100 hands before COB 31st March and at match tomorrow night, given my balance has gone from 8k$ to 1.1k$ in *s in last week it may be a big bankroll management challenge to hit this before going busto - will try and apply a bit of discipline to do it.

EASTER PLANS

I head to Dublin (one of my fav cites) first thing Thursday - I had intended to play a sat that day but since I have my seat I will prob just chill out and have a few drinks - still trying to get Brenos to come on what is an almost freebie but he is resisting thus far. I play Irish Open main event on Friday and if bust on day 1 will buy into the 750EUR PLO event on that Saturday. In event bust Main event and PLO then will get flight home that I have booked 1st thing Sunday (probably stay up all night), however if still in any tourneys will just try and get a flight Mon or Tue as I am covered as package includes Burlington Hotel for 6 nights. Its Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse on Monday also which could be tempting if still there.

FINAL TABLE FULL TILT PLO IN RUNNING

200$ 6 max 35K gtd on FTP with over 200 runners


Was 2nd of 6 looking at decent score with 10k 6.6k and 5k top 3 payouts when got done by below sucker hand to go back to 6th. Thought turn was good card and absolutely hate his flop play :(

Flop was AJ3 rainbowand he calls big bet from me - turn k giving us both nut str8s but he has flush draw and gets there = OUCH

Tournament Director: The blinds are now 2,000/4,000
Dealer: Hand #19611433523

Dealer: jwac21 shows a flush, King high
Dealer: suddes shows a straight, Ace high
Dealer: jwac21 wins the pot (203,002) with a flush, King high


Now 4th of 4 and only have half stack of 3rd, however if get double am back in it.

EDIT 3

Back in it just got it in on flop with top set versus flush draw that hit on turn but I made FH on river.

EDIT 4

SICK !!! - Just got it in on a 2 club flop v short stack and i had top pair overs and flush draw v his worse pair and flush draw and he hit a straight (had 6 clear outs) - damn damn damn - He actually had almost 40% equity when i checked afterwards so was in better shape than i though (as usual) !!!

Last of 4 again instead of almost chip leader, 4th gets 3.5K$

EDIT 5

FFS Busted 4th I reraised pot pre with a rundown and all potted the flop when a i had a lot of outs and he calls with bare kings that hold on qtx board. (I just looked and he was slight fav on odds)


Needed to land 1 of them 2 big hands and probably would have been 1st or 2nd - dissapointing but probably my best $ result in Omaha multi.
