WCOOP

So I won some money from first WCOOP event. Im one of best 400 hunder NLHE shorthanded online players in the world! Whippieeee!!! When it was near my money, I had so cold deck for a long time that it was sooo close to get even money. I push with QJ on my last chips and get 3 calls! I was saying goodbye untill flop was J-high no possible draws and all guys are checking. Turn and river were blancos so I won and I was back in the game.
I was in good mood and reach my stack to 24k before getting eliminated. I raise with QJspades and got one caller. Flop was T99 and I bet. Opponent calls and turn is 8. I bet and he raise me all-in and I call. He shows QT and river is 9 so he gets hes full house. Pretty sick ending but getting money from that tourney is great for me.

I pass that event 3 PLO tournament cause I thought I was dead money cause I was so tired for whole day. Im pretty good mood right now and maybe I should play one more event.
Also gotta mention this, I won $800 pot in saturday. AAds in Omaha. I re-raised in BB and two guys called. Flop were 832 and I push. Shortstack calls and other guy pushes. I call and villain 2 shows 4556 so he has big time wrap. Shortstack villain shows KK and some carbage. Turn was deuce and river was some other blanco, so I won with AA.

So its been pretty good days for me and hope I will continue playing good. I also withdraw over $1k so I can spend money with some stupidity. Example I bought new phone last week. Nokia 6330 I think. Or something like that.

Big day!

So tomorrow I have a big day in online poker. My first ever World championship tourney! No-limit Holdem $200+$15 (6-max).
I told earlier that I take little break in poker before that WCOOP-tournaments but what do u say... I have played some sessions in this week and I did very well. Confidence is back and im really looking for WCOOP. I have also registered in PLO-tournament in saturday. I dont really have gold about these tournaments. There are lots of pros and excellent players, and im pretty happy if I make money from these tournaments. This isnt maybe +EV thing to play these but to get better player, you have to face better players. Huh?

Updates coming tomorrow!

Finding motivation

Pretty sick week behind and I just have to take it easy and slowing before those WCOOP events later this week. I have played so much lately so maybe this week will be slow until friday. Motivation has been down and I havent played my A-game for a long time.
Well rakeback comes in this week so maybe thats cheer my up.

Bollocks

Just fking bad day. I dunno. Im not sure did I lost so much cause of my bad plays or cause of those outdraw idiots. I have played very very much today and I lost little bit over $140. I can admit that I wasnt playing my A-game but mostly cause of sick outdraws.

I finished todays sessions 30min ago when my JJ wasnt holding against 33 when we pushed all-in when flop was 528. Turn was A and river of course 4. Sicko $100 pot.

Afternoon I played three sit & go´s. Two of them were 22+2 and one of was 33+3. I get KO in 33 with my AK against A8, and in 22+2 I pushed with AQ in BB and opponent called with 7Ko and river was 7. Just fucking bullshit this hole day. Lots of grinding and lots of losing. Actually that losing isnt bothering me so much cause I can easily filled that out in next two days. Just gotta keep playing shorter sessions and keep focusing what im doing for.


Also gotta mention one thing that isnt including in poker at all. PUSSYCAT DOLLS are coming in Finland!! Gig is on October and tickets are availeble to buy since next wed. Nicole is coming!! So awasome. My future ex-wife! Hhhhhhh-hot-hot-hot-hot!!!!

Stop this madness!


Wild days. But not in the good way accept today. Last night I came home about 11.30pm and started playing. I tilted big time and managed to lost almost $700 cause of my tilting... I was so pissed to villains and also myself when I went to bed to get some sleep. Poker was just rolling around in my head and I promise I was ready to kick somebodys butt if someone had coming in front of my face.

Tomorrow I woke up and poker was first thing in my mind and day just begin worst. Anyway I visit in school and day was pretty fine and I wasnt thinking poker before I came in home and start to play. Last night I thought myself that I want to start all over and start playing lower limits like NL/PL 50. That didnt excactly happened. First I went to PLO50 and won $15 which is... NOTHING! I didnt face any beats but still I was little bit upset about last night and back of my head I was tilting still. I wanted to try something special to get my money back and went to NL600 HE table and sitting with almost minimum ($142). I decide to play pretty tight and just half push when I get decent hand.

Pretty quickly I had lost $30 cause of stupid blinds calls. Then I got KhJh and raise in MP. Player "cccoddy" called on the SB and flop was great Js 4h Th and I bet weak $24 into a $46 pot. "cccoddy" called and turn was Q. I pushed cause I only had 66$ left and he folds. I had 156 then. Couple hands later I had AK in BB and "cccoddy" raise standard. I came over top 3x his raise and he calls. Flop is K65 rainbow and I bet pretty much and villain folds. I had now $217.

Few minutes after that I get KQ in early position and raised 3x BB and got two callers ("cccoddy" and "healty"). Flop is K44 and everybody check. Turn is deuce and SB bet almost pot (~60$). I raised to $168 and he thinks a lot and folds then. Stack were now $317.

Next hand and I have pocket queens in BB. Button and SB limps and I bet $24. Both called and flop is 2d 6h 8s. SB bets $35 and I raised to 97$. Both folds and stack was now $397.

Few hands later I had TT and re-raise after raise and two limps. I won 3 time $24. I had almost $500.

Then I won over $400 pot but im little bit emberrassed cause of that. Watch yourself. http://www.pokerihanska.com/?h=099338221


After that I werent involved to any big hands and I left in table $643. I played 43 hands and made that $500 which was so awasome thing to do. After that I took control in my play and went to NL50 and NL100. I won $70 in there so hole is almost filled in.


Feels so great now and yesterday has forgot.

Two sick hands

Two pretty fking sick hands.

First hand. Holden NL HU $2/$4. I have about 200$ and villain has max buy-in (I started with 120$). I have A9s in button and I raise standard, he raise on top (he had doing a lot of that) and I called. Flop was AT3 with two hearts and he checked. I bet about $35 in to a over $50 pot he call. Turn is 4 and he check-call me again. River is 7 and he push. I put finger in my mouth but just couldnt figured what he had. Heart didnt came and I thought he prob missdraw. I call and he shows A7. Pot was 400$.

Second hand. Omaha PL 6-handed $1/$2. I have QQds (diamond & heart) and called on a four-way-pot. Pot was $20 in flop. Flop was Q32 (no flushdraws) and original raiser bet $16. I smooth call that and other guy also. Turn is 9h what gives a flushdraw for me also. Original raiser bets again and I push. Other guy folds and villain calls after thinking a lot. He show AAKJ no flushdraws and river is of course A on a 170$ pot.


Sickooooo...

Self-confidence...

...is huge right now! HU´s are going so great and I have just owned almost everybody in these battles. This day so far $+430 and most of it has came in HU NL100 & NL200. Also in shorthanded tables I am doing just great.
There are so many fishes in HU that many times it just doesnt make any sense. Maybe Ive been lucky to face so many donkeys in HU tables but cant whine about that. I think my character and style is fitting perfect in HU´s. Its agressive, fast game and I love it. I havent played any MTT´s or S&G´s in past two weeks and dont really need those. August was great month and gotta say, september has started even better! If this will continue I become fulltime player. :) LOL. Not yet, gotta take slow now. Bankroll is doing great and maybe I can take few shots in NL400 this weekend. I am very comfortable at NL100 & NL200 so no rush for moving up.

Soryyyyyy

Sorry everybody cause I havent update this for a while. Ive been very busy lately. Last week I was busy and I wasnt in home so much for playing or in computer. I played sessions in 2pm-5pm and night session in 11pm-01am. I have played lots of HU`s and I am doing just great in those. I am crushed my opponents in NL100 and NL200 is doing just fine.
August is end and wow, what a month that was! Best month in my poker career so on for sure! Dont wanna put any numbers but u can imagine if u read my past postes. ;)
Also I played so much in august that my winnings must come highers cause of rakeback. Probably $500-$700 coming totall.

Ive been hanging out with my friends a lot in last week and one of my friends dont have computer yet, so thats why I havent been able to play so much. In tuesday he gets computer and I get to play far more than I did in last week.

One of my pals asked me some help for poker. He wants to learn playing poker and he want some advice from me. I said: "OK. One week. Be behind me when im playing. Dont talk, just listen and learn." I take that as a good challenge for me.

Also went to drinking yesterday. I started drinking in 2pm and finished about 3.45am. Rough night but hangover day was fine. Do headache or so on. We went to play soccer also with my friends and it was nice to exercise.

HSP & HU

HSP Season 4 is on the air!! And damn it was awasome! 27 rule put some x-tra action on the game and rule can make u or brake u. Both side of that rules are running in that first episode.

My own poker world has been wild also. After dugging a quite a big hole in weekend, I filled that in pretty quickly. Then I was playing HU yesterday evening in couple of tables. After winning 1 buy-in in each of my opponents I went to 6-handed NL100 game where my friend was. I said him that lets play HU also. He said yes and we started playing NL200 HU. Pretty quickly I put my pal on a megatilt, calling his big bet on turn with 9sTs when board was 345 8 with two spades. River was spade and he immidiately put all-in and I called showing flush. He was pissed and put another buy-in on the line. I was in very hot streak and I just crushed him in next 20min. He made 3 reload after all and I won nearly $300 in 20min. Today I open FTP on afternoon and saw same friend playing NL100 with over 200$ stack and I asked how much did he started. He said 50$ and that he has destroyd every opponent so far. After he was busting another opponent, seat was open and I sit down. I put $40 which I lost pretty quickly by one terrible hand. Then I put 100$ more and I was down like 20$ before making doubling up and went to like 40$ stack. I put maximun again and start betting like a Ziigmund. After I had like $120 stack he said that he has to go to training. Fucking bullshit I open up cause I was on little tilt. I said if we dont meet in evening in HU table at FTP, he better get ready for some dirty work. LOL. I really said that but no hard feelings. We were just playing little mental game like we always do calling each others fishes and donkeys. Thats how it goes.
So anyway so far this day has been bad cause of that tilt HU. Also before that match I played against some stupid all-in guy. After I raised to 3$ he was putting $38 more in to a pot. WTF???? After I was watching hes moves, I decide to call with ATs and of course he had AK which was beating me. I reload and I was waiting for a opportunity. He wasnt moving anymore so I took that agressive style. After losing quite much cause of bad beat I moved with AK and he called with A6s. Guess what card game. Well u dont guess so I tell u. Six.
After calling him asshole, fish and so on I left and after that I played that another HU battle vs. my pal. So like I was saying this day has been bad so far and Im like over $100 down now. Nothing to worry about really. I take little nap soon, eat well and start pounding my opponents in HU battles.

Bad playments vol. 2

I was playing so terrible yesterday. Couple bad beats but also my own fault to dug a big hole. I had like $350 hole yesterday but I managed to filled in about $130 in my last session.
Ive been playing little bit bigger games lately and gotta control myself and keep grinding smaller ones where im playing just fine and profit is good. I played $2/$4 yesterday and it was just so sick. I go to the table with shortstack (not ratholing but standard) and getting my stack in good size. Then Im on a SB and someone raise standard. I have AA and I made 2,5x more. He calls and flop is 5QJ. I bet little bit under pot and he moves all-in which was kind of lot to push for. I thought for a while and decide to call. He shows 55 and pot goes to him. It was just so sick. Playing 1 hour excellent poker and then one hand and all gone with a best hand in poker. Didnt saw that set coming. Also played PLO session twenty minutes ago and god damn so awful things happened to me. I did won that $130 but it could be lots more if this wouldnt happen.
Flop is Q92rainbow and im on a SB with 899K. I bet little bit over half pot and one guy in middle position calls. Button bet the pot and I moved all-in. MP folds and Button calls and shows A229ds. Turn its 2 and thats(h)it. So f sick guy hits on his one outer. Pot wasnt really big cause my stack wasnt big but it was so sick.

Gotta settle down little bit. Ive been playing so much lately that there are risk to burnout. Rakeback is gonna be awasome in this month but it comes like 10th september.
So anyway gotta keep going but steaming must end right away.

Crazy days

Friday was just unbelievable sicko. I deposit 81$ to rednines just for fun. I just wanted to try ratholing and god damn it went well. First I went to $2/$4 table and won like 100$ pretty quickly. Then I went to $5/$10 table and won that much that I was able to go to play $10/$20 blinds. I had like little bit over $200 in front of me and one guy called, (6-handed game) and I push with ATo. Two other guy called and original raiser calls also. So pot was over $900 and I was sure I go broke. Flop awas 234 rainbow and I thought with a five I make split pot with someone. Original raiser "Umpi" from Finland raise something and those two guys folded. Turn was Q and river was T. "Umpi" shows 9Th and I won that pot. LOL DONKAMENTS. After that hand, other players called "Umpi" a idiot but he said it was missclick. Dunno about that but TY!!!! Then I was raising my bankroll over $1,050 untill I withdraw $500. I have now little less then $500 there and I am just playing $1/$2 and $2/$4 PLO and NLHE.
Also I have played so well in FTP. My confidence is so huge now! I won nearly $2,4k in 11.8-18.8. So its been quite a maniac week for me.

I am keep playing!

Well actually I am not but its just name that one of my friends put in his account. So after I withdraw money, I am doing just awasome run still by playing PLO and little bit NLHE. In tuesday I won over $350 and in very next day I won $200 so less then a week I have won over 1,5k! I am playing right now and very hot streak is still on. Gotta say that I have played very very much these days. School also started on tuesday so I thought I dont have as much as time that I had in summer but now it seems like I do have time. Not today.
I dont have slept too many hours this week and seems like I dont have time to sleep untill friday-saturday night. Soon im gonna go to icehall for watching hockey. Tampere Cup is tournament and there are lots of my friends playing. Day ends about 10.30pm and after that I planned to go eat something so maybe I dont play anymore today. Tomorrow is new day and grinding and killing PLO50 continues!

In the driver seat


Well well. Ive been playing very good lately. Last week I won $1,1k which is awasome for me. This week started badly and I dug $140k hole in less then 2 hours. Today I woke up early and I didnt get anymore sleep, so I decide to open FTP. Pretty quickly I filled my hole and now I am up over $100. Omaha has been TheGame and I maybe should quit playing Holdem. Havent won in my latest NL Holdem sessions. I am playing way many hands. I should maybe just grinding NLHE by playing 6-8 tables and change my hand range. Also I played 3 $20 sit`n go`s in sunday and my places were 2/9, 3/9 & 3/9. So profit was sum like $80. I am only playing $20 sit & go`s or higher currently. $11 is pretty lame.


So nothing much for this week. Lots of PLO and maybe this hole FTOPS mania has got me into but unfortunately there arent so good events for me anymore. I dont play limit or hi/lo games so no games that I like. Of course im intrested in main event so lets see what will happened.

I made it!

Today at 10pm I have my first ever FTOPS event. Event is Pot-limit omaha buy-in $500+$30. Yesterday.. Well actually this morning I played that satellite and made it to the best 39. When we have like 45 players left in tournaments, it really got slow. All shortstacks were just spending time. In my table there were some guy name cobra who was shortstack. He was nice guy but he didnt make it. After all 39 players had left, I just pushed and going get some sleep.

Last nights tournament, I was playing pretty good poker. Not big risks and not big mistakes. I was above avarage nearly hole tournament.

Today there are lots of pros and excellent players with me and gotta play pretty tight in early. Good to see though that I am pretty confident today. Watching premier league and chatting with friends.


Wish me good luck!



FTOPSments,

Update

Tournament has running nearly 2 hours and im 29th of 85. Avarage stack is 10k and I have 12,1k chipstack. 1st-39 get that ticket to FTOPS event 4# and 40th get 217$ and 41th get 117$. As long as I am at best 41 im glad. Gotta play good and tight now. This table has now many limpers so I have stolen blinds pretty much.

Wish me good luck,

Swing is huge!

Oh my... Swing has been huge this week. I started week pretty good, but then downswing hit me, and I was like over 300$ down this afternoon cause of 3 bad beats in sit&go`s. So sick. Fortunately evening has been awasome and I am now 140$ up in this week. Not really awasome result but its OK after huge downswing. Also I got my RB today which I withdraw immidiately.

So yesterday I had that satellite to FTOPS event#3 and it started 4.30am. OMG. Well of course I was playing that and after playing 2 ½ hours I was out. 95 players got that event ticket and my placing was 108. Fucking sickements. I played so terrible in last 40min and gotta whine that I wasnt able to get any good cards at that point. Was pretty weird that I wasnt really pissed off about that tourney after I was KO. My table was just so great and few peoples wish me a luck for a future games. I was playing with those (4-5) guys like nearly 2 hours and we were having lots of fun. GG for all those guys. "RicardoDB", "aznutnut", "GTL", "SDABL Player" & "GORILLA45" good luck for all of u!

Two hours and my next satellite is gonna start. Omaha Hi pot-limit. Today im gonna play pretty agressive in this satellite. Right now 276 player has been registered and only 25 is gonna get that ticket. 26th-28th get some money. Im not gonna play 2 ½ hours for nothing today!

Wish me a gl!

Nice one

So I made come back yesterday in FTP and it went well! First I was just grinding NL HE like I said in last bloggaments, then I played PLO in 2-4 tables in a row so grinding continues. My concentration is so weak so I cant play PLO more then 4 tables. If somebody doesnt know, I am kind of agressive player in PLO. Well anyway not any B.I.G hands from yesterday, but I managed to won 170$ yesterday. So pretty good day for me. I was grinding 0.25/0.50 tables and looks like that is pretty good level for me. Bankroll would maybe said yes from playing at 0.50/1.00 blinds but no hurry.
Just start morning session and wtfments, it went well! Usually when I play after I woke up, its bullshit. Eyes across and everything is going terrible wrong. Not this time which makes me happy. Hole day looks brightining right now. :) Theres something like 24 celcius in outside so got to go outside soon. U dont want to spend hole summer in front of computer.

So see ya since night!

Aaaaaahhh!!!


After small brake, grinding feels so good! I played 45min session by playing 8 tables. HU of course... Just kidding. I managed pretty well. I got good start when my TT turn in to a set on flop when flop was QT5 with two clubs. I bet little bit over half pot and other guy raises me. Villain2 calls and I move all-in. Both of them call. Forst one shows QT and other one is on a flush draw. Well turn and river are blancos so I took 80$ pot. After that I hold 55 and flop is K55. Im on a button a two guys raises each others till river. Then I push and get called. TY for the 75$ pot. I won about 145$ in that session which was pretty cool start for this week.

FTOPS starts in this week

Yes it is. I have enjoyd my vacation this week and im feeling pretty good right now. I played Pokerstars 100k guaranteed tournaments tonight but wasnt able to get any good results. Most of my money I lost when I called guys all-in with KK in my hand. First one shows AK and second player shows AA. With one outer I dindt get any help so my stack was pretty small after that.

So nothing much. Next week poker is gonna start again. Little break was good but I need poker!! Im not addicted to poker but I just love it.

News

No pokerments today. Drinkingments YES!

Anyway why im writing this time is cause of few pokernews that ive read lately. Some guy wrote on of forums that Jen Harman, Jamie Gold, David Benyamine and Brad "Yukon" Booth are all gone broke. I was like what the f*** is going on in here.
Jen, no way. She is really good player and thought she plays at big game she still have big and wealthy bankroll. She is also smart and not a gambler as far as I have heard.
Jamie Gold. Well he isnt really good player but to gone broke after winning 12milj. dollars in 2006??? How? If u gone broke after 12milj. on your bankroll u really have to do few things real bad! Okay he has bought car (bentley) and so on but still. He isnt even play poker so much than real pros.
David Benyamine. Well also he has very big bankroll and its very suprising if he is gone broke. Theres rumour that he has lost big time in Bobbys room. He has won a lot in PLO @ FTP but has lost a lot in NLHE. Over $2 milj. so far in year 2007. Latest days he has bought shortstack in 200/400 tables which is really suprising. Still doubt that he has busto.
Brad Booth. Many people thinks thats true that he is busto. Really dunno anything about Brad. Ive seen him in HSP (great move vs. Ivey) and also few times in FTP.

Also got a mention this. News about Phil Laak. http://www.phillaak-thailand.com/ Look at that site! If that is bullshit why is he bother so much? He is taking that quite far if that is bullshit. Im waiting Phil`s talk in media before saying anything stupid.


Nothing else today.

WTFments!

No pokerments today... Actually I didnt really had time to play poker today so I decide to stay out of tables in hole day. After forenoon I went to see my grandfather and my aunt and I helped them in gardenjob. I really did some work today which may have suprised some people that know me. After that I took little nap and while ago I came back from bar. I drink couple of beers and thats it. Not much tonight. Saturday I have one of my friends birhtday so maybe I go to entertaining myself in the city.

So now, when clock is 1.35am I go to sleep. Have to change rhythm and this day is good day to begin.

Gotta change night and day rhythm

I sure have to! Yestarday I went to bed about 6:45am after railing and talking with "TerrorOfSweden" in FTP. Nice guy allthough as a opponent he maybe is very irritating, loud and tough to face. Me, Terrorist and some other guy were talking lots of stuff in chat. Sbrugby, Terrorist`s McDonalds job, poker, and school were subjects. Terror was playing Stud and managed well on that session against "kingsok".
Anyway my day rhythm is completely in a tangle. I woke up today after 4:00 pm which suck so much. After all, im still up and clock is 3:44am. Gotta go to sleep soon, after I read little about Ville Wahlbecks blog. Great writer, hmm... good player. I think.

Oh yeah, forget mention this. I didnt play poker today accept one quick session in Stars. It went pretty well. I start with 28$ stack in PLO-table and I leave with 82$. Niiiiiiice.

Break



Sorry that I havent update this blog for a while. I have played quite much lately but I think this week im gonna get some break about pokah. FTOPS is coming and I think im gonna play a lot in autumn so break now will be good idea.


Yesterday I played pokerstars 100k guaranteed. Tournament cost that 11$ and its pretty easy to got money on that tourney. I made some very bad play whick turn out to be great play when I was eliminated. Well not great play cause I get knocked out but hear me now. I was also playing like 4 tables at the same time while I was playing that guaranteed tourney. I didnt keep much concentrate to that tournament and that cost my whole tournament after playing great poker over 2hours. Tournament window open up to me and I just saw that I have to call someones all-in only with 2k in BB when my stack was 22k and blinds were sum like 200/400. I made quick call and then I saw that there were one player after me who had raised 6k earlier. He folds and actually I had just made 22k call so I was all-in with pair of sevens!!!! OMG! I was so confused that it was so unreal. Well after all pot was like over 64k and villain turns out J4o!!! I was what the fuck there is going on!!?? Flop was K54. Turn was 4. River was 2. So fucking sick what a idiot donkey.

I think that episode a lot after tournament was over. My play were "right" cause I had better hand that he had, but what the fuck is wrong with my concentrate. Multitabling a lot and then I am in good mood in that tournament and all hard work has just blown up in few seconds! I tilted and head to Stars PLO-table with 20$ that I won. 10min playing in PLO and I had 80$. I said ty and then I went sleeping.

That pokerstars 100k tourney is pretty good for me. Level is pretty weak and 10min blinds makes it semi-turbo tournaments which is also good for me. First hour there are lots of crazy plays and you just got to be calm then. Soon after first break all sit-out guys are out of tournament and play begins. Its so easy to get money from that tournament. One minus from that tournament is that its only 11$ and u have to get to place 117 or up cause under that u get less then 200$. Final table is awasome with those 4-digit payments. First place is 20k! But also 11$ buy-in is good thing cause all the fishes comes in that tournament. 20k in it includes lots of donkaments and moronments and fishments.

So I definetely gonna play that tournament in next sunday and most likely I play also poker in this week but not so much then other days in past summer.

Im out

LOL. I finished like 270 something in hendon mob tournament. I push with AK and opponent called with JJ. Flop was KJJ and turn was K. LOL. Same guy had got 20min earlier four tens with all-in TT vs JJ. Nice run.
Also gotta mention this with 17,5k guaranteed tournament. First hour I played so good and my 3k stack was up like 8k in first 30min. Then I got that 8k up for 10k before break. Then two guys called and I raise 4x BB with AKs. Button folds, SB calls, BB moves all-in, like 3k which is like 1,4k call for me. Two villains fold and I call and SB call. Flop is 369o and SB moves all-in. I fold and SB shows 66 and BB 99. Turn is 6. LOL!
After that I was running bad and finally by playing 4 tables I made mistake that cost my whole tournament. Tournament table pop-up at same time that I was raising in other table. So I called accidentally opponents raise on BB with 87o. LOL DONKAMENTS. Well flop was 7-high and I only had 1k left on my chips and pot was like 4k. I moved all-in and villain calls with AK and of course K hits on board. Own fault. No explanations.

Pretty avarage day. + day maybe.

Hendon Mob shootout!

I won satellite yesterday to hendon mob shootout tournament for tonight. Great prizepool and mobs on it. Gonna be great tournament. Hope so much it went well.
I came home yesterday about 11.30pm and start playing omaha. I finished +160$ session in about 5.45am. That was great cause I lost 100€ in live-games with my friends. I was running so bad. First we had tournament and I dominate that tourney since beginning. I was huge chiplead when HU came and first I take beat by calling my opponents all-in with A6. Opponent shows K4 and K came. Then I raise on button and he moves all-in immidiately. I call and show TT. He shows A3 and of course A came. I was tilting so much that I pushed everytime I had J, Q, K or A. There wasnt lots of money different if u are 1st or 2nd so I was steaming a lot!
Then we played some ring games (PLO & NLHE) and I take 60€ in table. Soon my opponent moves all-in with shortstack when board is 763 and I made great call with A6. He shows 58o and o course 9 came. That was so sick to me. I was steaming even more. I was quiet and just raise every pot. Then I lost that whole 60€. I took 40€ more to table untill it all gone in one hand. I had J5c and I called 3€ raise. Flop was T98 with two clubs. I bet 4€ and opponent raise to 10€. I call and turn was 5. I check and fish bet 9€. I moved all-in (30€ more) and villain think so much before calling with AA. River doesnt help me so I lost whole stack again.
I played against two very weak opponents who hasnt any clued how to play omaha. Its hard to play against them cause they play omaha like a holdem. If I have a good hand, then its easy to get lot of money from them but if I have like two pairs in omaha I never know if they have pair, set or straight.

Well anyway, wish me good luck for todays tournament!

Bad day


I start this morning on playing excellent poker and I was sum like 50$ up quikly. Then I go to table where Huck Seed was and I started playing in there. First Huck outdraw me on river and I made bad call after that. Big pot from him. Very next hand I crack his AA by hand 67T9 ds. I flop set of sixes. Few hands after that I had Jd Kh Qc Ac in button and I bet pot. Only Huck called and flop was pretty good for me. 8c 2s Jc. Huck bet to pot and I raise a pot. He moves me all-in and of course im call. He shows hes hand, 8d Js 5d 7h! OMG_what_a_fish! Turn was Jh and river was 7h. Huck took that 90$ pot. He wasnt really that good player then I thought and I maybe should had take more money in table after that and play against him. I was steaming so maybe it was good thing to leave in stage.
Couple hours ago I start my night session and so far it has been rollercoaster. Fifteen minutes ago I got busted in FTOPS satellite. I moved raise all-in in KJ on J-high flop and fish calls with QJ and get Q from river. So sick! So I am steaming right now also... Gotta quit from today.
Tomorrow if weather is good I go to beach but in evening poker is running for sure! Till then...

Hangover games

Yeah it was. Early in this morning (well OK, afternoon).
Yesterday I woke up like 2pm and start playing in party and FTP. I noticed while I was in computer that simpsons-maraton starts in TV and I said couple of my friends who just got arrived in first weekend vacation in army that come down here, lets drink some beer and watch simpsons. Who said no for that? Well we start drinking like 3.30pm and I quit today about 6.ooam. Sickoooo. After simpsons and lots of army bullshit we head to bar about 8pm which was quite early for me to go in bar. My head nearly explode in there cause of all army talking! There was hundres army guys in bar cause they had vacation. I have army in next summer cause of my school is bagly among. My age-group is this summer in army.
Anyway then about 10pm we were going this "fav" night club in Tampere and athmosphere was wild. Since I had good week behind I take a role to bring table full of drinks. Offer by me! Then signal to leave came and we think how we gonna get in afterparty? No worrying, one of my friends who had like nearle most of alcohol in his blood drove us to my place. What a wild ride in my opinion. Trip last pretty long. Normally it take like 12min to go my place from that bar but now our trip last 80 minutes! Well bright side is that no one gets hurt in that ride which was little suprise. At my home, driver and one of my army friend fell a sleep as soon as we arrived. Then me and my other friend start eating and drinking even more. After 6.00am we were so tired that it was time to go sleep.
In the morning my condition was so slack. Everybody (4) of us just lay down and talk bullshit after we woke up. I had to show some poker playing in my pals and wonder why if that went well? Mmmmmm..... NO! I made about 45$ hole which isnt really bad but it was just stupid to start playing in that situation. In afternoon my pals leave and we decide to go eating in night. Wings and Coca-cola was so good at that point. I was so hungry that I ate onionring basket, criss cuts and ~22 wings. And also drink 2 cokes.
After that I came in home, alone and after little break I start playing cause I was felt like grinding! I played 6 hours in a row in FTP and managed to won 75$ and satellite to FTOPS omaha-tournament. So after morning lost day was $30+. Yeah!

My friends said today that im lucky. While we were eating, one of was pissed cause he had to go back in army by midnight, other one was pissed cause of tomorrows training, and other two was pissed cause they had work to do tomorrow. They think that I am lucky cause I am just chilling in my home and play poker. They wake up like 7am in every morning and do 7-8 hours day and get paid like total 70€ in day. OK, I dont make that kind of money everyday but my moneymaking is just like I want that. All the time near of me and I can do that everytime I want. Only but is that I dont make money everyday and also it isnt maybe good thing to sit down in front of computer all day. Most days yes I make money, but not everyday. Im glad that I havent had minus valued days for like 2 or 3 in July. But playing poker and make money is not that easy that many people think. But yes, I guess I am little lucky cause of not doing summerjob and still make money to live in summer. However success comes from after hard work.
I have also thought that my game could get better if I start keep myself in good shape. Im lazy person and it doesnt have to be necassarily like everyday training. Once in a while some excercise what keeps my head in balance and also would be nice to see some sweating in my body. Other than what comes in my armpit, LOL. Of course once in a while in poker I sweat a lot. Maybe I start jog. Easy way to keep myself in shape.

WOW, little bit longer writing than normally but your welcome. Tomorrow lots of grinding and maybe some resting.

Big week going on

Nothing change. Still ive been played very well and profit has been awasome. Just withdraw some money to pokerstars account so I can play few big tournaments in weekend there. Bankroll in partypoker is pretty good right now if im keeping play like this my lifetime high bankroll will be head to soon. Less then a month I think. I probably stay here for a while if im rolling good.

Nothing much though accept that I saw Doyle Brunson in FTP in wednesday. He was playing PLO and lost all his 40k stack in first hand against sbrugby. LOL, hes still greatest!

Running STILL wild

Yes I am!! I am just killing those lowest tables and my roll in partypoker has enlarged a lot! I have played less than 6h in partypoker after I deposit in monday and now my deposit is 8x bigger. Coinflip situations have been good for me and also I am playing my a-game right now. No doubt about that! I have also found so much big fishes which I have noted up. Got to find those guys before sessions and start to playing with those. If im keep playing like this after this weeks end I may have over 1k on my partypoker account. Since sunday I havent playing in FTP and I dont really need that site right now, LOL. Probably I go back there in today or tomorrow but party is going on also!

Ship it holla!

Party is running wild

Partypoker is just unbeliavable place. My deposit is now grow over 5x bigger. Thanks for all those eastern-european players who suck in poker. Once in a wild they do suckouts but ive been very calm and I havent tilted. Partypoker is good therapy for me. I get good laughs often and also make money. Great time to spent summer!

Just played 20min session PLO50 and profit was +53$. Im also railing WSOP final table.
Today after I woke up I wathced how Ziigmund was owning Benyamine and Hansen. Just sicko! Ziigmund is running so wild now. He won like $350k in weekend and on monday he won $693k and today as I was watching him, he had some point over $550k in front of him in two tables. Then Gus made sick outdraw and Ilari lost some of it but hes more then $1,3milj. up in last 5 days. Finnish people are best in PLO for sure!

Partypoker was just a emergency place for me after I lost and tilted in FTP. I dont like look of partypoker but those opponents are so bad that I got to play there for at least couple of weeks. If im continue like im doing now im gonna get good roll to FTOPS and WCOOP.
Lets see...

I love Italy!

Hey hey hey! Just came home. I was hang out with couple of my pals. Before that game was so wild! Yesterday I was pissed to FullTilt and I didnt play there today. I transfer 50$ to partypoker and LOL DONKAMENTS is only thing I can say.
50$ bucks isnt much and those were deposit just for fun. It wasnt fun till beginning. First hand in NL HE and I have KK. I raise 3,5x BB and one opponent raise, other one calls. I think about wild, but since I dont have big stack I just decide to move all-in with KK. Italian opponent on my left calls and other one calls also and two players were all-in. It sucks on party that in ring games u dont see opponents cards after all-in. Well anyway board was after all Q7Q 6 7 and I believed that im not going to win this hand. I was right. Other villain shows KQ and Italian friend shows Q7o!!!!! I was what the fuck is this! Is this rigged or RIGGED?? NO F**KING WAY! Other guy in table "sunsailor7" said to me: "what comes around must goes around". I wasnt saying anything but I think SHUT THE FUCK UP!
I was so mad and believe me, I tilted a big time! I was sitting out for a while and watched how that same Italian guy outdraws everybody in that table, including "sunsailor7". Sometimes after flop pot was like 1,75$ and he pushed all his 35$ in to a pot. He made crazy bluffs and all-ins all the time. I decide to stay playing and wait for my opportunity. After while I had A8s and flop was 268 rainbow. I checked and Italian fish bets. I made big raise and he folds. Few minutes after that starts to happen. I had TT and I raise standard 3,5x BB. Italian fish raise minumum. Other guy calls and I call also. Flop was 259rainbow and I just checked. Italian guy moves all-in and I call immidiately. Other guy calls also and pot was little bit over 97$. I was again like holy shit! Two opponents and I only have over pair. Turn was Qc and river was Kc which made club flush possible. I couldt look that my money was gone and I watched other table where I was playing PLO. Suddenly other table pop-up and what can I see?! I have 97$ stack! I just got to watch what villains had. Other guy was holding A5d (WTF!!!!) and Italian fish had 27!!!!!! OMG, LOL DONKAMENTS. I said ty! Then he was leaving and I was pretty sad thought. Player name was "ottimo" and he was from Italy. I give u a tip. FIND THAT GUY AND U GOT BIG PAYDAY! After that hand "sunsailor7" said to me "What comes around must goes around" and I just couldnt help it. I was laughing so hard and Partypoker and my life was so good again.
Well not quit but little bit better yes!
Funny thing was also that I start playing at 9.50pm and I quit for like 10.05pm. Now my party account balance is 160$ after playing less then 30min in partypoker today. Pretty good run thought.

Lets see if I can catch more south-european fishes. Hope so!

Veru busy weekend behind and bad playments in poker tables. Just lost about 50$ to couple of turnaments and one ring game table. I played so worst and one bad beat.
Omaha is doing pretty well right now but HoldEm is sucking for whole week. Gotta do some changes, dunno what.
Tonight I plan to play few MTT`s. Ill be back then.

About a time

I havent really tilted so far in this weekend but here we go!! 15min ago I was playing 6-handed SG, two full-table SG`s & also one NLHE ring game. I was so shark in everywhere. In ring I was doubled up, and my resuls on SG`s were 1 of 7, 2 of 8 and 1 of 4. Then its just hit like a lightining. Called somebody all-in with QQ and he shows TT. T from the river HEY! I was just so pissed to see that. I quit ring game immediately but what can u with SG`s? Just have to play those throw. 6-handed game I was finally third (thats where I got outdraw) and full tables I was 2nd & 1st. I was gonna be 1st in that other tournament but noooooou! I was pushing with AT spades and opponent call with K2 spades. Wonder what board was? 5K2. It is so sick right now playing in FTP. I was getting some bonus in PartyPoker cause I havent played there for like couple of months. 20$ is now 80$ after about 35min of playing. Mostly from Omaha Hi/Lo.
Today was again +profit but those beats are just killing me!

I find out today great site. You probably have heard that www.poker-edge.com. LOL what a site! Put Woolworths on find and u see what im talking about. "Your table fears you". LOL.

NO F**KING WAY!

My nick back in the old days in some poker site was FucKingAce. Thats all for off-topic.
I just played sit & go tournament and now im so pissed off. I was chiplead hole time and I just dominated that tournaments. Was pushing shortstacks and made some great bluffs. Then my stack is something like 6k and we have only 4 left so bubble is on. Second one in chips has little less than 4k and he raise minumum. I put little more and he calls. Flop is pretty awasome for me. Rainbow 28J and he check push me. I though he had AJ, KJ or sum like that but no! He has freaking JJ!!! SO SICKOOO! I did get to the money but I was eliminated by 3rd place. That was just so sick.
I got buy-in x2 back so + profit tournament. Also won something on heads up omaha match vs. some guy.

Now im going to eat and then I take little nap before going to hang out with my pals.

See ya,
Wool
So im back in home and... Well theres nothing much to tell.
About 8.00pm local time I was watching some sick HU in FTP. Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond vs. "LarsLuzak". It was so sick. Sick pots and fast play. Both are soooooo agressive players.
Lars stack was nearly 500k when 3-table HU was end. Maybe best HU player right now, LarsLuzak.
Also there was omaha HU with Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies and Phil Ivey. Phil won huge nearly $200k pot and after that Ilari want his money back by playing 8 coinflips. LOLMENOT! Phil won most of those 8 and won about $500k from Ziigmund. Talking about super agressive Finnish players.

After that Lars match I go to beer with my couple of friend. Then we go to play xbox with my other friend place and I won a game by playing with my fav team Toronto Maple Leafs.

Now I`ve been playing 2hours in a row. 3 sit & go`s by small stakes. 1st place, 3rd place and out of money was my results. Then I played omaha and I won 2 buy-ins by take a big pot with full house. Somebody raise pf and me and other player calls. Flop was A99 and I check to raise-guy who bet pot. Second villain calls and I bet pot and im commited to that pot. Original raiser put us all-in and next guy calls also!! I had to call but I think im drawing almost dead cause somebody holds AA. Original raiser shows ATTJ, next guy shows K987 and I am holding A9Q8 double sooted. Turn was 2 and river was 5. TY guys. Other player was busto and in very next hand I busted that other guy out. I did good job in that session and day results are over $80.

Maybe next week I have time to play more hours a day. Its been pretty short sessions this week but maybe thats why I havent really tilted so far. So cant comblain. Tomorrow I dont really have time to play accept noon, saturday here in Tampere has street hockey games and I have to be in there and on sunday I go to Helsinki to watch METALLICA!!!! Cant wait that gig!! Gonna be just awasome!
So pretty busy weekend but of course im gonna play few short sessions.

Howdy

So last night went to quite late. I go to sleep about 4.30am cause of railing "Ziigmund" @ FTP and also railing WSOP day 2b. Gus is doing great and hope he manage well.
I was also watching lots of different results at highstakesdb.com. Notice that David Benyamine is up for over 2milj.$ in PLO -games, but over 2milj.$ down in HoldEm. Little suprise for me.
"LarsLuzak" doesnt get opponents in HoldEm so much in FTP or Prima. He have played Omaha also which suprise me a little bit. He is OK in PLO but I think he doesnt have a anykind of edge vs. Sahamies, Benyamine etc.
Woke up today about 3.45pm and open naturaly FTP before open my eyes. I saw 10+1 tournament for 90 people. Few seats was left and I decide to go playing that. Andy Bloch, FTP pro was also in that tournament and some point he was same table with me. I start pretty good increasing my stack over 4k soon (we start 3k). Then about after 15 hands of play, tables were moved and in my new table, on my left was "Luigi66639". I said el oh el DONKAMENTS, what a wannabe. It turns out that he was pretty good player thought. Critical moment in my tournament was when I was holding KTs (my fav hand!) in middle position and one guy limp allready in early position. I decide to limp and Luigi limp also. BB check and 4 player action going on. Flop was K6K and they check to me. I bet 250 in 400 pot and Luigi just made minumum raise. Everybody else folds. I was putting him on a good K, like AK, or KQ. Anyway I called and turn was 7. Not good for me. I check and he fired ridicilous 400 and I called again. River was J which not improved my hand at all. He was all-in and that cost all my chips if I decide to call. I was thinking does he have K9, K8 sum like that. Maybe pocket pair 66 or 77. No way he isnt holding QQ, TT, or 99. I fold and said on chat that I had King. He said "nice fold, had 6 6". Nice laydown Wool, but my stack was only 2,8k when avarage was 3,4k or something. Soon blinds were high enough and just folding and folding cause I didnt get any good hands. Finally I put my last 700 chips in 2k pot when board was QK3 8 K. Opponent call and I show K7, he show K9. GG.
Then I played little bit PLO and lost 12$ in 15min of playing. Not a good start in day but comoon, day has just started. :)

Couple of my friends ask me to go dinner & drinking tonight but doesnt no yet if im gonna do that. Food sounds good and of course one beer sounds also good but not more than that for me. Maybe in weekend.

I come back in night for sure.

Big tournaments

I got e-mail today from Pokerstars. They puplished program for WCOOP which starts on 14th september. Also noticed on FTP that FTOPS 5 beginning 8th of August. So theres gonna be like a month break between these tournaments. WCOOP is of course my biggest goal but I cant controvert that im really intrested about that FTOPS. Satellites are allready running and maybe I should take a shot. I havent really played satellites so far in my poker career. I had won twice ticket to Sunday Million and one time I won a 75$ seat some 14$ satellite.
I think Omaha is my best game, or maybe shorthanded NLHE. My biggest tournament win comes from shorthanded NLHE. Over 2k. Only problem with my omaha skills are that these are MTT`s and I havent really playing omaha at tournaments. Last may I played pretty big PLO MTT and Ilari ILARI_FIN Sahamies KO`s me. Something to tell kids when im old.

Im very intrested of dates Aug 8th, Aug 10th, Aug 11th, Aug 19th, Sep 14th, Sep 15th, Sep 26th & Sep 28th.
Theres plenty of time before those tournaments are but still got a figured out in next couple of weeks what are my plans for that FTOPS.


Also I played at shortstack little bit PLO50 & NLHE50. Ive always on FTP buy that amount what FTP offer on that "Get chips" menu. I play way better if im shortstack. Hope to get doubled up soon and then I play little different. Work out pretty well. I bought 20$ at every table (3 tables, one PLO) and when I left I had 67$, 32$ & 0. So it was +session. Then I played two six-handed sit`n go`s and I was second and out of money so I lost fee. I got KO by pushing K9 and villain calls with J9 and of course J came. Sickoooooo el oh el DONKAMENTS!

Thats all for today. More games tomorrow!

LOL DONKAMENTS

So I start playing today and I face opponent whos luckbox had sooooo HOT! I play PLO50 and god damn he was so unbeliavable lucky! He was just gambling on shortstack but with hand like K275 all different suits he managed to get full house and outdraw my decent AQsAJ hand. I know that in omaha pf all-in is kind of gambling but no F***KING way... After playing with this guy about 10min I ask if he want play HU? He said yes and I just want to get bigger limits with this guy. I decide to go HU-table Vole. We start battle and he was pushing in every hand. Pot pot pot pot pot all the time. I was just waiting my opportunity and then I got that. I was on button and I had 67c98d and I just called his raise. Flop was 4d5d9h. He fired up pot size bet and I was just calling. Turn was 3s and again he fired up pot. I raise pot and he pot me again. Money went in and he show A2QT with two spades. River was meanless and I got over 72$ pot. He was sitting out for a while (maybe transfer some money :)) and then he came back. I was drawing and calling all the way hes bets and didnt get anything and he got over40$ pot. After that he did hit & run -episode and I was so pissed. I won that session but still. 10 more minutes and my bankroll could be over 100$ wealthier.
Well thank god he didnt outdraw me more than those few.

After that I decide to practice my sit & go play and open up 3 sit & go`s. One 6-handed and two 10-handed games. One of them was 11+1 tournament and other two 22+2. All turbos. I won 6-handed tournament and get 85$. I was superior on that tournament and I KO 4 players. HU was quick. First hand I got TJc and I raise. He was just calling with 88 and flop came 259 with two clubs. He pushed and of course im calling. I got T on turn and river was blanco. TY GG!
Meanwhile in 11+1 I was on final 3 and money was sure. I was lucky and KO opponent and I faced HU. That was so sick. He was total fish (even sharkscope tells that) and I control that HU all the way. Crucial hand was when im holding 55 on a button and raise. He thinks a lot and push all-in. I was lead so I decide to call. He show 22 and flop was K22. SICK SICK SICKOOOO! Well I still had over 2k chips and blinds were 250/500. I was on tilt and pushed 85o and he call with A4. Flop was awasom 856 but river was 7 and byebye to Woolworths! GG indeed u lucky fish! btw. his nick was "freedomtc". Find him if u want money.
In final table I was in best four and I decide to sharkscope my opponents. I was schocked when I saw those results. Every guy on these three had managed over $1,5k losses on FTP! How they are in best of four???!! I was finally fourth so no money from there. My own fault, no bad beat story.

Anyway I paid 60$ for those sit & go`s and got little bit over 100$ so it was good session. 40$ more if I would get that third place on that final SG. Well anyway its been good afternoon so far. Now im gonna watch HSP season 3 and lets see if im gonna play still in night.

Morning

Yesterday I didnt playing quite much. I was railing some big games in FTP and I also railing main event in pokernews live report. Its been rainy days lately and I have watched High Stakes Poker season 1 & 2 so far. Great action.
Just opened FTP and this junes rakeback has arrived. Little bit over 300$. Great! Dunno yet do I transfer that to my bank accout, or is it gonna be in my bankroll.

Also I just got mail from Pokerstars and they have puplished WCOOP-program. Im really hope playing couple of events if my currency politics are fine. They usually are. ;)

Lets see whats happen today, I think im gonna play at least one MTT and PLO also. Last night I won overall about 38$.

Games!

LOL DONKAMENTS

I need Jesus to get my PLO games going on well. Im not kidding. Seriously Jesus show me the way of winning.
I was just playing PLO in 3 tables and two of those tables my opponent was Chris "Jesus" Ferguson. I was pretty exciting to see Ferguson playing at my stakes and I just had to get involved.
I bought 40$ in PLO100 table and decide to bust pro. :) Well I didnt bust Jesus but however I get nice profit on those tables.
Theres one hand that I played: http://www.pokerihanska.com/?h=395561871

After few minutes of playing, table was religious. Chris Ferguson in seat 5, and "PraiseJesus7" in seat 1. LOL

So after I played about half an hour profit was something like 60$. Pretty good.

Now theres one more name on my "Pros that i`ve played with on online" -list. With Ferguson there are:
Ilari Sahamies
Ville Wahlbeck
David Chiu
Erica Schoenberg
Joe Beevers
Allen Cunnigham
Berry Johnston
John D`Agostino
"kunkku" from Pokerstars (Taneli Tiikkaja)


Now I rest little bit and after 9pm local time I come back to computer and start session.

Howdy,

My project did and didnt start well. Good thing was that I havent steaming so far and also I was on money in 9k guaranteed tournament. Won 3x tournament buy-in. I was in good position when there was little bit over 100 players left (72 got money). I was like 21 of 110 with my 14k stack. Then blinds and antes were bit of high and I just go down cause of that. And when I raise in middle position with hands like AQo or AJo I always get all-in yelling on my opponent which has bigger stack and I didnt want to gamble before money. Finally I had about 5k chips and blinds were 250$/500$ with 100antes and I just push with AJ and get called by KQ and of course Q came.
Bad thing was yesterday that day was minus value. I lost in ring games about 80$ but thank god I get those almost back in sit & go`s and that MTT.
Hope this day is better for ring games. If I didnt mention yesterday, I play 11+1 and 22+2 sit & go`s and 24+2 MTT`s and NL/PLO 25/50/100.

Hi,



So first little bit backround stuff first. I have played poker since july 2005 and when I was17-y old. I first play at play money and freerolls, but then before playing was legal to me, I decide to put money on my account and start grinding. Last summer went well at playing poker. I found lost of good things in my game and also I got confidence which is major thing for poker player. After summer when my school starts, I wasnt playing so much. Hardly had time to play even 3 hours. Somewhere about January 07 poker wasnt anymore so fun and it was hard to get motivation to play. Then springtime came and I got excellent run on May. I won bronzemedal at Finnish onlinepoker games which gave me 2k and afterall I won @ May over 3k. I decide that I dont go to summerjob. Now I have played almost everyday about 5-6 hours but there are still lots of major problems. Last thursday I withdraw all my accounts and get money out of there. On weekend I think lot of my poker skills and maybe this blog also could help my playing. Writing things up and watching and learning those stuff could be useful.

One big problem at my game is tilt. I tilt a lot and it doesnt have to be big mistake or big pot that I lose when I start to tilting. Also my bankroll management isnt best and I really hope I could do change for that.

Im playing Pot-limit Omaha a lot. NL Holdem, tournaments and sit`n & go`s little bit. Omaha is my best game cause I am quite agressive player. And FullTiltPoker is the place all this magic happens.



So soon (today) I make deposit to FTP and hope new period of my pokerlife starts.
