[16] Day 55 - 57

Submitted by: snoopy on Fri, 24/03/2006 - 1:19pm

Days 55 and 56 - Decided to mix it up today and played a bunch of the $105+9's. If I can beat them two things'll happen. I'll get Supernova sooner, and I'll make more dosh. Both good things I'm sure you'll agree so why not give them a try.

The quest is still to play 4,000 though. I'm not allowed to change the rules halfway through. That would just be naughty.

It just means that getting 4,000 and becoming Supernova won't coincide. Twice the drama or half the drama? I'll leave that for you to decide.

A bunch of guys mix it up playing a combination of 55's and 105's. The 105's can be quite slow to fill sometimes. I think I'll do that. Today I played 38 big ones and 4 little ones.


Days 55 and 56 Results :
-$882 (+$7,166.8 total)
ROI : 10.5% (after 1106 tournaments, 1068 little ones + 38 big ones)
VPPs 28,620
FPPs 66,417

So I stepped up and lost. Is it time to step back down again? That's what I've been pondering for the last hour or so.

I've decided to stick at the 105's for another day, what swayed me was, when looking back over the 38 tournaments, I was knocked out or crippled by AA a total of 17 times. Running into that many aces won't be typical so I think it's safe to assume I've had a bad run and it's worth giving them another try today.

I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. If I'm down by an amount with a comma in it then I'll certainly leave them be.

Day 57 - My first batch of 30 went very well. I had all but made up for the previous days loss. I began to feel not averse to these $105 thingies.

The 2nd batch began disatorously though. A run of bad luck (I hope) had me even further in the hole. I could feel myself in the beggining stages of tilt and had to continually talk (out loud) to myself to stop it's onset.
The session rallied in the end thankfully.

I really needed it too as, if it didn't, that would be me and the $105s parting ways for the time being.

I was getting to the point with the $55s where I was so comfortable that I could take three bad bubble beats on different tables simultaneously without batting an eyelid, secure in my knowledge that I'm a long term winner at them. I don't have that yet for the $105s, hopefully it will come with time.

Untill it does, I shall set tilt-watch to Defcon 3. It is more of a danger now than ever.

Day 57 Results : +$406 (+$7,572.5 total)
ROI : 10.2%   after 79 $105s and 1,087 $55s (1,166 total)
VPPs 31,200
FPPs 72,867

I really need a days results with a comma in it to set me at ease with these larger tournaments and get the ROI back on track. It has fallen today, even though I won a modest amount.

Bit of a  forgot about the $100k VIP freeroll this month. Oooops
