A day of tournaments

Needed a mental break from cash games and loaded up some tournaments, the only ones availible were a little over my bankroll, buts it is fine i am pretty over bankrolled for my regular nl5 games anyway.

Started the day off with the 31.50$ Short deck bounty, managed to grab a few bounties and finish a dissapointing 3rd AQo vs AJs, both opponents were losing players so a hold would have been nice but thats the game i guess.

After the 31.50 there was only the 21$ short deck bounty running so i guess we are in. Started off pretty bad losing AK vs AQ for a buy in, but hey its shortdeck, it happens. Reg again and go, first hand AA and an all in infront of me, he has KK. Flop comes TT8, im happy, and then the turn... a K, oh well guess we are out again. Third buy in i see QQ, shove against 3 limps and run into AK. This was getting expensive buy hey, nothing better running so back to it. Like always 4th times the charm, get dealt T9s and i see 3 all ins, easy call to be honest and we hit the straight for a quadruple, here we go boys! Spent the rest of the tournament playing pretty tight, picking up a few small bounties and then it happened, top4 in the money, i am reluctant to shove my 2 pair on the turn but the pot is big, luckily we see a call from QJ, im dancing on my chair while the river card slowly opens a Q on the river, the pain is real. Lost hundreds of $ in EV on a 92% all in.

Still some energy left i open up the 10.50 short deck bounty, kind of fuming but there was only 1 regular in the entire tournament, life is great. I keep crushing everyone in the tournament, seemed like i was destined to run myself into a sweet profit and then, on the stone cold bubble this happens, from a massive stack and chip lead into nothing.

In recap this hurts, could have made a huge profit, but you cant choose your luck, just make good decisions and eventually it will happen.

Total cashes : 259.76$

Buy ins : 126$

Profit : 133.76$

What a tournament!

Best tournament of the year. So i was not planning to play a big tournament but there it was, the 75€ zodiac festival shortdeck bounty. How can i ever resist that, the tournament started off like hell, i lost an all in from a JT6 flop with JT vs KQ and then lost another 2 buy ins against hands i dont even remember anymore. Here we go, buy in number 4... thats 300€ down the drain so far but the prize pool was too juicy to ignore. After playing tight for a while i flop a flush versus a massive 120€ bounty loose losing player, i bet the flop and turn, i see the river and think this is a nice spot for an overbet shove, opponent tanks for ages and makes the call, cool. 120€ heading my way, we dont feel so bad about 300€ in buy ins anymore. The rest of the tournament went pretty damn chill, everyone played super tight which is very unusal for a shortdeck bounty so we just took down small pots all the way to heads up, nothing special , no bounties, no big all ins just a boring style of taki

Month 4 - Downswing

September was pretty mundane, cash ran under EV and all my tournaments went pretty darn horrible, overall i maybe made around 300€ in total but because of the global economic situation i was losing money pretty hard. I also got promoted and started a new job, lots of new things to learn and less time to play poker. I was pretty exited to play WCOOP but the fun lasted for only an hour ' And my cash game graph for me the month, hopefully October will go better Goal : 5279€/40000€

Legend of Leemurikari - zero to 40k through poker : Month 1

Hi i am a 32 year old man who has always dreamed of buying a house. I used to play nl25-50 holdem from 2011 until 2018 when i realized playing poker for a living is'nt for me anymore. I have made a total of 100k$+ and saved up absolutely none of it, stupid kid i know. Oh well, atleast i can start all over again now huh? Poker has left me with no actual skills that apply to real life, so i definetely can't just save up towards a house from my salary and onlyfans probably isn't for me. Since i lack absolutely any skills i will be doing it the hard way, lots of hours. I started playing poker again last year with 20 bucks and a dream to get some savings towards an eventual house, i will be playing 50-100h a month Heres my tournament graph, sick isnt it. Full five buckaroos an hour, life is great. Can't really give a graph of my cashgame grind since huds are not allowed on ggpoker but trust me on it, its equally as sick, 5 bucks an hour 👀 Here's where im at after a
