What a day!

hey guys

 So its been the craziest day of poker for me ever. I started the day with my 220 bank roll and wanted to play the plo8 tourney i played yesterday and final tabled. I played it as well as a 180 man tourney. i decided before i started playing that if i made 50 i would put it towards one rush plo8 game with a one buy in stop loss. i lost most of my broll on that game before and now i know why and want to take other peoples lol. So i ended up making enough cash to start playing and proceded to build that buy in to 150 in about an hour. i was super stoked and couldent believe how bad people are at the game ( and i use to be) : ). it was about 5 am at that point but i was so jacked up on poker i decided that i should just keep playing so i did  (first i took out 50 for gas money lol). started up the tourneys and went to work. I pretty much broke even on them all exept for the last one which was a 10 dollar super stack tourney on tilt. Well i just finished and busted 34th. Its decipointing to walk away with $50 being so close to 4k but i think i played reallly well. this was my first buy in of the 10 dollar level (exept for 3 rebuys, i guess thats $9 lol) and the competition wasnt much different until we got down to around 50. I was definetly outclassed : ) I shark scoped some of the guys and they had 100k plus profits. it was a crazy 3 bet, 4 bet agro fest and something i hadent experienced playing the super small buys. Overall though i am exstatic about how i held my own in a good really deep structure with good players. However i think its time for a nap. A 26 hour session is REALLYY long!!! i had to beg my brother to go buy me a monster because i couldent keep my eyes open. Bottom line Im tired BUT, Jacked on life and poker

cheers

"Boom" (Doyle Brunson)

Hey Peeps,

My last couple days have been a boom so to speak haha. I have ditched my cash game attempts for now to really try to build my roll in mtt and its been really good. i Believe i have 6 final tables in 5 and under tourneys in the last 4 days. Although i havent won one which sucks. You can check out my progress on shark scope (jaimestaples). Got 4th in a plo8 rebuy this evening, 8th in a deep stack 6 max tourney and 3rd in a 180 man sng. I recorded the final table of the plo8 Tourney and will be posting it to the forums. Im sorry for bragging but i really needed this haha. I watched the video on  deuces about pre game mtt and things started going really well. I never really took the approach of loading tournament in a time span but its worked great. In the first hour i usually have about 9 tourneys going and by the end ive got at least one final table (i dont expect this trend to continue but you never know ; ). fantastic video, not sure of the creator but props. How has everyone elses game been going would love to here from you guys

Cheers

Its a sign

Hey guys and girls, 

So alot has happened to me in the last couple days lets start at the top. I got my first royal playing rush poker 2 days ago. later that evening i got the just as impressive steel wheel in plo8. i know its plo but common it dosent take an idiot to realize this is a sign of great things to come. I cleared my 50 dollar bonus on stars and took out some money to buy some more pizza pops. (just kidding). and on a great finishing note i won a small hose tournament on tilt 3 dollar buy for 50 bucks. Things are looking up and i know have rolls on both sites where i can actually see movement : )

cheers

I Hate you FT

Hey guys and girls, 

So last time i posted i was trying to build up my roll on tilt and trying to clear my 50 dollar bonus they sent to everyone. After 3 set over sets and a devistating day i was pretty mad at the world and blamed it on full tilt. so i turned my attention to stars where i took my 20 bucks and turned it into 200 just playing 8 game in 4 days!!. it has been some long hours but finally i can play some half decent stakes again and fill up my car with gas haha. Not the ideal roll for a full time grinder but thats what happens when you take shots and have your whole roll on a table. for now im going to give tilt a break lol. it just feels fishy and not in a good way : )

In the game of life women are the rake!

Hey Guys, 

Been pretty much grindin all day everything from sitngos and tournaments to plo 8 sh. And it seems pretty painful with the rake. thankgod for my full tilt 50 dollar bonus or else it would be unbearable. Does anyone else feel like a terrible player trying to beat the rake. Now Back at it

Cheers Jaime

PS. i am planing on recording my first video tonight and it would great if some of you would take a look and let me know what i can improve on. itll be posted in the forums.

Hey!!!

Hey guys and girls, 

My name is Jaime and i am a brand new deuces cracked member. Although just in my first week i have really feel like i have settled into the community and have learned a lot. I have been playing poker for about 6 months seriously and about a year including my long stint of freeroles : ). I am a consistent tournament winner but have been trying my hand a cash for a while and it hasn't gone as well, in my opinion due to bad bankroll management. I have always tried to climb the ranks to fast and now that im giving this a shot as a job those days are over. my bankroll has swayed from 2700 to 20 bucks in the last couple months and this time im determined to do it the proper way. I hope people enjoy my journey and im always open to advice on how i can improve 

cheers

Jaime
