So, I ended the year on a high note today. Just took down a 3.5$ 45-player SnG winning 44.53$. Not a major cash by any means, but enough to put me back in the black and more importantly, in a good mood.

So I’ll leave it at that for this year…a little early, but I really like ending the year on a high note and returning with enthusiasm next year.

So although it’s a little early, I want to take a moment and wish all of you a happy new year, may 2012 be blessed for you and yours…see/read/twitter/facebook/text you next year…enjoy the final pic dump of 2011…

Regards,

Ingoal

That describes today’s sessions the best. I won’t whine about coinflips or getting coolered four handed and what not…I’ll just leave you with some of today’s hands and take my beaten ass to the couch…night night everyone…

Had some more time to kill, so I decided to play a little more…unbelievable what kind of beats I took, again…still managed to finish 2nd in both a turbo 18 and turbo 45 player sng…so the outcome is up…good stuff…I’m outta here for real this time…night night…

I still can’t believe I finished up a little today after some brutal beats…hihihihihihi…happy for once, although I would have taken a few less beats to finish way up…oh well…better hitting a bad streak and still more or less breaking even or up a little than spiralling into deep tilt…yeah me…I’m off…

Played a little today…had good traction early on, then it all fell apart, should have stopped playing at least 3 sngs ago…but didn’t…so instead of a small profit i gotta leave with a deficit…yuck…oh well…off for the night…regroup and try again…

…up and down and all around…and up and down…yuck…won’t even bother to recap the action…too tired…I’m outta here…

Played a little today as well…not too much though as my as tenosynovitis in my right arm is killing me…oh well…a little less playing around with the iPad2 should help ease the situation…as far as playing today goes, I couldn’t get much going…ended the session with a slim profit…good enough for today…

That’s the one word description of today’s sessions. FUGLY. Name me a cooler and I’ll tell you that I ran into it. Most of those came in headsup play (KK vs AA, AK vs AA, etc), really brutal sometimes. Oh well…there’s always tomorrow 😉

From playing and running good to playing so-and-so and running “bad”…hehe…how fast poker does it. Oh well, all in all I’ll have to look at some of the hands again, but I can’t be too bummed despite dropping 220BB today and dropping the equivalent of another 139BB in SnGs…just some of these days where you got no chance in hell. Kings? Opponent Aces! You straight? Opponent bigger straight! You straight your opponent set? Board pairs! etc…

I’m outta here…

…and what is that? Yes, my money. I can’t believe how easily fooled I am. They come knocking with a 100$ bonus and I fall into the trap. I reload and before I get to 20% of the bonus I’m busto for roughly 1.5 times the whole bonus.

That’s how you do promos folks, reel in the sucker with a promise of “free” money, then skin him alive and laugh at him. Well played folks.

I’m pretty much fed up with all the bs, so I won’t even bother to complain about the “sick” hand here, and “sicker” hand there…I’ll just do one final pic dump and I’m off…never to touch ftp again…the following pics depict my play on ftp from march 6th to march 14th…

1. Oooh, Aces vs Queens and they actually hold up…too bad shorty got it in, winning me a grand total of under 2 bucks…

2. Ace King? Nooo goot, obv 67s00ted is the nuts…standard 3.5bet before the flop, shove on the flop…insta-called…

3. I won a flip? Rigged…exactly! That’s why I lose the next 100 in a row…

4. I fold Kings preflop after a 3bet and 4bet reshove…of course the fonkeys have an ace each…two outs would have been good nontheless…good fold me…

5. Three jacks no g00t…how I managed to lose the minimum is still a mystery…

6. 4:1 favourite? In FTP math that’s like 3% to win…

7. Dominated? You’re going to lose, period.

8. Flopping to set? Not enough against jackAce s000000000ted…obviously!

9. Who needs twenty outs? Noone, three are always enough against me…end of story…

10. If you still didn’t get the memo…I said three outs are enough…

11. Hello, keep up…three outs are still enough…don’t you listen?

12. 3 best is the nuts…I can live with losing with second best…

13. Flopping dem quads is a nice feeling…getting junk kicked afterwards and bubbling…not so much…

14. Best in worst out…always a kick…especially against two undercards…lol…

15. Playing the pros…two thirds and two junk-kicks…just the right ratio to go insane slowly…

16. First hand, always the right moment to run into the BB special…

17. Waw? You still didn’t get the 3out-memo? Wtf…try to keep up…!

18. which leads us to this beauty…

The end…
