Tournament run
Over the past few days since I made my last post I am glad to say I won a tourney 1-2 days after. Although it was 150 person omahi hi tourney for 2700… ill take it. Also had a few other final tables to help cover some of my tourney buy ins.
Today, I had a good day of cash games and ended up booking a couple thousand there and was running deep in a few tourneys.. so i decided to shut those down and complete focus. I final table bubbled the 200 turbo for 600 and I got 2nd in the 100 rebuys on full tilt for 9k. I was although somewhat disappointing in my heads up play. I was very hesitant in making continuation bets and when I did choose to make a move on the other player.. he always seemed to have a hand. So I can’t really tell if i played poorly or just had bad judgment in spots.. .which is really hard to decipher online. Anyways.. I fully admit either way I was outplayed heads up and I am going to make it a goal of mine to zone in on my heads up game.. Because the 1st-2nd swings are very big. Another thing to note this is the most money I have ever won in a day and then continued to further break my door. Have a good one all!

i want to win another tournament
Yesterday was a pretty good day for me but I am a little disappointed with my conclusion to the the 250k on stars. I got second in a 30 rebuys omaha tourney for 2k which was nice considering I was in it for 270 bucks. I still need to work on my shorthanded game in omaha because I believe that it is pretty poor from what I can tell.
Anyways in the 300 buy in on stars I slipped into the money with a short stack and ended up building up to 35k at 8001600 with 40 people left. Once again though i had no patience and jamed k8 suited to a button raise and got snapped by a10 and it was over.
Im really struggling to play these stacks of 20 blinds lately. I seem to get over anxious and throw my money in because im to worried about blinding out. Its pretty dissapointing running to a big hand in these situations but its also dissapointing folding down to under 10 blinds and forcing myself into a corner in which i need to double up. So i really need to work on my patience and think about my moves before i make them.. lets go

cash rush.. tournament slump
So last weeks post just got posted before this. Anyways its been a good week in the cash games. I have been killing these cash games lately and starting to feel i should just quit playing poker tournaments and stick to the cash games. So Im going to cut down to a few tournaments while i play my cash games to keep me stuck at my computer.. and ofcourse continue to make a 2k donation every sunday in the majors.
Had a pretty fun hand in a cash game today. I opened a flop for 30 bucks with k5 on a 467 board with a nut flush draw, next guy called next guy raised to 125 I went all in for 550 and got two callers.. the oppents had j8 and 88. I rivered a 3 to scoop the pot.. this was a good way to kick off my session. I decided to check the odds and i was 51 percent to win the hand so my somewhat marginal play ended up being a positive ev play.
anyways dont feel like talking more..

I remembered my password
Well I havent logged in in a while because i forgot my password. For some reason I remembered it today. Anyways the past week has been kinda of wild. I have been playing really well but have been making huge mistakes in 5-10 for big pots. I have been shoving draws for 1k when guys never 4 bet me decide to 4 bet the flop. Just really not thinking becuase I have been doing well lately and it is really costing me this week.
I also made a huge mistake yesterday in a Bahamas 14k package qualifier.. top 12 get a seat. Me and my bro were both in with 40 people with decent stacks. Finally, after I doubled up to 30k which was at the average and put myself in the game i decided to make a horrible 4 bet all in with 99 with my opponent held jj. The only reason i went with it was because he shoved a guy two hands right before that. This was really careless and left me with 13k in chips. I ended up losing kj to 10j and qq to a8 for 24k pots each and was sent to the rail in 32. My brother got 31st. We had a swap on the trip so it was pretty dissapointing day for the Jensen brothers.
Well I played like shit last week and turned a potentially great week into some what of a disappointment. Lets turn things around…
