Monkey Off Back!!




On one of my most successful days in online poker and my best ever week in poker I was finally able to make a Final Table of the 100$rebuy on stars, a tournment known for being the toughest daily comp. in the world.

I was going to say more about it but after a 13 hour day with no breaks I have forgotten everything.

I felt like I played really well and ended up coming 3rd for 13kish$. I lost a monster pot 5 handed with AKhh v JJ: 229hh flop but didnt improve.
HEMIpower: the run away chipleader took me out with JTdd v my AK, I wasn't nitting around or the extra 4k, but i wud have had to do alot to win with my 200k v his 1.2mil, the other foriegn Icelandic nit had like 130k.
He won for the 3rd FUCKING night in a row, what a feat FFS. I dunno whether anything like that has ever been done, ridiculous!

I went deep in 300$ 6-MAX on Full Tilt but only 9th this time. But i'll take 9th and a 3rd from 2 attempts ever in this one, can't remember what I got this time.... 4k$ i think.

-Major pot came when there was 9 of us left.
I raise button with AQ and Ram Vaswani who is a real LAG 3-bets me. I Jam and he calls with JJ.
He's 3rd stack I am 2nd and we play the biggest pot so far.

The board is 885-J!-x and I lose the crucial flip. I bust soon after.


I am happy however wit my two results. My primary aim has been to play bigger MTT's and improve my MTT game via studying more.

I feel like I have improved a vast amount in a relatively short-time but am still aware I have also ran well. Nevertheless I think I am pulling the trigger with greater acuracy and timing then before and this is all contributing to my confidence....I only hope I can continue this into the WCOOP!
