LET'S TALK ONLINE POKER

As most of you guys know I'm a pretty big fan of online poker. I've been playing online for over 2 years and have consistently won at lower stakes online poker. I'm going to start giving a report of my weekly win or loss rate. We'll see how I do between now and the Vegas Trip as I plan on taking a large portion of my bankroll with me to play at the live tables.

Played a little short-handed 1/2 limit this week for solid profits.
I played in 3 of the $10 satellites that qualify you to play in the $100k guaranteed on Sunday... this is the tournament that Ben N. took home 4th place and $7k just a couple of weeks ago. It's a great tourney and I'm determined to keep trying to win my way in.

I normally had an extra 45 minutes to an hour to waste before the tournament started, so I figured I'd sit down at the 1/2 Limit Short Handed. The first table I sat at was very soft and there was very little raising (other than me). If you your not familiar with short handed, it is vital to play aggressively, even more than normal.

I busted out of all of the satellites. I've got a feeling I'm playing too tightly, either that or I'm just not catching any cards in the tourneys. I'm doing ok in the cash games but seem to tighten up and play like an idiot early. I made a stupid all-in call in the first hand when I had top two (AQ) on a board of AQJ75... lost to KTo. My fault for not raising more pre-flop and I was out of the tourney first hand. The hand played to where I thought this guy missed his flush and bluffed it, stupid of me. I've learned from my mistake.

I still haven't done another Bracelet Race at FullTilt. These are $24+2 buyins with around 100-150 people and the with the winner gets a $2000 package to go play in one of the smaller events at the WSOP, just like the one we played in. I probably couldn't go back to Vegas right now anyway.

For those of you who played at Noble Poker (read the review) they've got one of the coolest promos online right now.

If you are a Sit-N-Go fan they've got a SNG table called 'Maui' that has a $15k bonus attached to it. It cost's $5.00 +.50 to play and if you win 5 times in a row, they throw in a bonus of $15,000! Check their Terms and Conditions as they will disqualify you if they think you're colluding or see soft play.

6foot3 won $7k at the $100k Guaranteed tourney at Bodog. Nicely played man, keep it up. 4th place is very respectable in this huge tourney. There was around 40% of overlay (extra money added) in this tourney and he qualified for $10 bucks, Not a bad ROI!

Here is Bodog's tournament schedule and just look for the tourneys that have a Guaranteed Prize Pool... these nearly always have overlay! They've got eight guaranteed tourneys.

I'm Starting Over!

Current Roll... Last Week $192 This Week $375 Profit/Loss +$183 Total hours played = +/- 6 Monthly Goal = $300   Howard Lederer has a sit-n-go strategy article - Solid starting strategy is key.
