These Are the Voyages...

Well, it was much like yesterday. Deep runs, crashing quickly. But major difference was that instead of bubbles got mincashes and also got some bounties so marginally profitable day which might have been huge.

But nevertheless, no scores and not a single cash over 100€ so day really ended up as disappointment. Probably worse day than in average, but about median day. Well, after many horrible days I'll take it.

5th @ Ice Age

10th @ Ironman

Mincash @ TitleFight and Stack

6th place (again) Omaha Wrap, from 1/6 -> 6th but got nice shots for bounties like this one:

As a funny spot was grinding for mission, 4-tabling NL4. Mission to get 10 pocket pairs. Ended up sitting with 9/10 for ages and then they all came at once:

Leaderboard situation after Wednesday:

Overall: 6 (only 1st place matter - very far behind)

High: 13

Low: 35

Too bad that the point system at the leaderboard requires top finishes, and our FT's so far have been 4, 5, 6 and 6 and from smaller fields. It's also same for money perspective - promising runs giving effectively minimum cash.

Looks bad, but some Title Fight trophy might give us a chance (and MONEY)

Well, if yesterday was greyish day then today was darkest day of all. Lots of re-entries due to ultrahorrible runs meeting active play, with highest "cashing" being one 25€ bounty. Alas, at that one I was behind (but it was reasonable spot to go all-in when BB is off-line and I covered my opponent).

With buy-ins about 500€ and cashes like 50€ it was shitty day indeed. Only shot really was at one non-Unibet MTT I played, but NLO8 hyper PKO is a tricky game: lost at the flip for huge chiplead after coming back from 3bb stack. Oh, got one 100€ ticket from satellite.

Regular satellites with good overlay have great value, but too bad that I can't usually play them (try to play max. 4 tables to concentrate on high buy-in events, and mixing satellites with PKOs is extremely tricky). Always late reg them at the last moment if they have good overlay + if I have room for them.

On another "very dark indeed" day flip satellites probably lost like 200€ today. They're usually neutral or slightly +EV since I play all high events, but today luck in them was no better than in regular MTTs.

Too much gin last night / morning. It is most deceiving drink, tasting good in mixed drinks and causing nasty hangover.

Been playing badly today, though runs haven't been good either. Earlying PKOs, busting them quick, no re-entry and lateregging regular MTTs (easier to play shortstacked) so looks like -200€ day today. No other MTTs today. Leaderboard gone to hell, but at least I tried :D

No trophies though they were very close, but best day so far: 5 final tables, out of which 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 6th (10€ re-entry ten-spot) and 6th (NLO8 hyper PKO). Got bit over +1k€ day which makes this week marginally profitable before Sunday.

Too bad leaderboards are dead with these runs, it would require trophies with current point system which is topheavy and calculates only X top results. Probably getting some points from High leaderboard though (not even top50 at low, though have skipped like half of the events).

Nice rusults, there is a nice value in leaderborads for sure, its worth to play

I hit hard yesterday too , but overall sit on 3rd place ( soupplease) and first guy is so much ahead i have no chance to overcome him

I would welcome overall to have first 3 places payed and would be perfect

Skip if rant doesn't interest. (Of course it does you pervy reader) 😛

Sunday Shitday.

0 cashes, even bubbled satellite to while Mr. 75s got another seat. So over 500€ buy-ins, got back maybe bit over 10%.

Simply put, horrible end of very bad week. 0 chance in hell, even if opponents come in with btm20% they always run even through aces. I did play well, opponents played very poorly but with Sunday Shitday going on it doesn't help.

Deckread being best read:

25 PKO megachiplead pot, nice bet-call OOP into 2 pot left to that flop (never gonna get rid of it at PKO as most hands opponent come in are far behind):

Shitnova special, first nice setup 3-bet call flop only action betting 19bb at the river and ofc there was Kh:

Followed later with near-ITM suckout -> flip -> nocash.

16th at the high leaderboard. Didn't go as planned.

Yesterday was a meeting of Finnish poker players association. Ended up being fun night at bar, so skipped poker yesterday (freeroll value missed 😞 ). Probably playing today as got tickets to use, unless I sleep in the evening: wake up 8 am after just about 5 hours of sleep when snowplough woke me up.

Did get some sleep so decided to play, waking up just to register all high events.

But horrible flip runs from the start, so played just high events (last 2 via late registration) for -325€ of those. Flip satellites been running horrible too, but that's variance. Nasty though.

Played one jokey 5,5$ PLO8 hyper, won it. Well, one 100€ buy-in back from there 😄 

Not sure if playing tomorrow, but still got some tickets and smashing my head against wall with flip satellites so will probably be playing at least some days this week. Though might concentrate on resting and trying to get full week of games next week.

Last evening I was tired when Title Fight was about to start: I chose sleep over poker. Probably a good idea, since it was almost 9 hours of deep sleep.

This week is overall LB wise dead, but I probably still play at least few days. Using tickets + keeping in touch. Not taking much stress over playing this week, as plan to play full week next week (or at try to do it).

Sleep again, this time 18-03. Not exactly what I was thinking, but still time to "fix it" before next week.

Should play challenges through, just 700 flops at cash games (lowest level of course) isn't tempting. Maybe some braindead stream with some drinks during this weekend?

Few thoughts about new schedule from last week, been thinking about writing my thoughts:

Positives:

- Tournaments are over usually by 02:00 (Finnish time, 01:00 CET)

- Most events have a nice runtime, not overly long

- Leaderboard is in place

- Satellites had nice overlay

- Lower rake for PKOs

- At least last 2 R/A's left do help to fill the late session: old Titan and Multiverse

Negatives:

- Last week virtually no overlay

- 20:30 25€ PLO PKO with its structure is pain in the ass, as it starts super deep (PLO 200bb deep with no antes) and takes lots of concentration from other MTTs (would be much better without PKO imo.)

- PLO PKO is part of the problem that I have that @ 21:05 you have certainly at least  4 tables running even with just playing high events (Title Fight, PLO PKO, 100€ event, 25€ PKO and often 25€ stack) - no room for other events or satellites while all of those are at early stage

- Leaderboard structure: it is very topheavy, with point system awarding (just 8 high events counted for high LB) high €€€ scores while ignoring good success but without lots of 1st places especially on larger MTTs. Since overall winner usually wins or top3's high LB prize structure is like 2500-800-700-600-500-400-300-200.

- RIP R/A's

- Higher rake for re-entries and remaining R/A's.

Honestly I would probably make 25€ PLO re-entry and add 10€ or 25€ PLO PKO as major for late evening with 100bb starting stack and turbo structure (maybe 23:30, 35 min before session saver).

Of course I would also like to see some successful R/A's back (mainly one slower 25€ R/A and bunch of nice 5€ and 10€ turbo / hyper R/A's all around the schedule), but it's not likely.

No poker on Friday either.

Put electrical heat battery on and slept over 12 hours so might well play today. Bit expensive though with current prices of electricity :D

I would actually have potential grind challenges on Unibet and another site if poker mosquito bites.

Yesterday just few games, but also took on grinding of that challenge (600 flops at total in cash games for missions France, Spain and first part of Belgium) while watching twitch stream.

Still ultra boring stuff, I don't understand people who prefer cash games (for fun). Rest of the missions are easier, with less time consuming cash games. 100 PLO flops and Hexa tomorrow and I'll just have G and H left. Not really worth the hassle, but hope that long grind get rewarded at the lottery :D

About break-even with disappointing 7th place from Stack and 9th place from NLO8 PKO with smallish buy-ins (mainly just used 50€ tickets at top of those).

Not sure if playing much today: it can be either long grind (should rake 50€ on other site too), or just using 50€ tickets or skipping altogether to get some rest before Monday.

Simply horrible week with little games when it comes to results. Games are soft though... just problematic to concentrate on them occasionally

Last one pretty much nailed it at the bubble for 100€ ticket when opponents had 3 flips including 33 > 77 (quads) and my first was my last as I had little chance to grasp chips without flipping at active 4-handed table.

Hopefully next week is better. Probably trying to play more O8 events than before and all high events from Unibet. Good value satellites when got less than 4 tables.

Timetable being like:

13:00 Wake-up -> order food if not going to eat outside and play casino / sportsbook promotions

14:00-19:00 Free time, try to minimize sitting next to computer right now

19:00-20:00 Something to eat, trying to relax at home

20:00-02:00 Poker, poker, poker

02:00-03:00 Free time, preferrable books or hot bath but one hour of Netflix is okay too -> 03:00 no more screen time

04:00 latest Sleep
