SummerJobs - 23/07 Graddus

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Had a dip but things are going ok now. The second week I made a profit of $327.50. I was helped by the fact that this week was nine days long. In comparison: the first week was only five days long. Total profits are $621 now.

I hardly play anything but Sit ’n Go tournaments. Particularly the $10 3-table ones are quite profitable for me. To save time I also play a lot of $20 Double or Nothings, two or three at once. It’s hard even to break even on them , it’s for the player points that I play them.

I began the week 2 and I decided to continue to make 500 asked points by making sit’ not go for $11 and $22, that is 5 or 10 points of taken away by tournament. The first week was very contrasted because I had to undergo of numerous rivers but I remain motivated.

Started week 2 of the promo on Friday, put in a few hours on Saturday, then a good 7 hours on Sunday.

I finished week one with over 1100 points, so far in week 2, I have a little over 700. I would like to stay on pace to complete 1000 points a week. I had brought my bankroll up to around $1000 after week one, week two was not so kind, I’ve lost a few buyins, and I’m now down to around $500. I’m playing mostly 0.50/1 or 1/2 NL full tables.

Hopefully in the next couple of days I can get my 300 points, and recoupe at least a few hundred dollars back.

This is the last blog from me, as i’m broke after a couple of sour hands at NL100.

As I wrote last time I had to take a step on NL100 and try to bouble my buy-in, as I was going low and had around 120 $ left.

I succeeded in doing that, and had a pleasant Wednesday, with some good hands AK vs AQ og KK vs QQ, so I ended up in 255 $.

Unfortunately the dear Miss Lucky Fortune wasn’t with me, as I ran into AQ with a Q high table against KK, and a suckout with AA against 77.

Together with some bad play and chances I consider myself broke as I have used the 200 $ staked by Red Kings.

I would like to thank Red Kings for the opportunity to play other kind of games than usually and at higher levels than normal.

I have been a learning experience, but how much of it I can use, when I go back to my “roots” the MTT game is questionable.

“It’s going absolutely the wrong way at the moment. Since the last blog I have played some NL 100 (A bit different than NL20 which is the highest a have played until now), but nevertheless I haven’t lost anything, although I got suckout twice yesterday with QQ vs 22 and a 2 on river. Last hand I played were AK against QQ, with a A on flop and a Q again on river. So instead of being at around 250 $, I am down to 116 $, with 280 points left.

I also played 12, 11 $ SNG double, with a bad resultat as I only got in top 5 on 3 of these.

Today it’s a double or nothing project on NL100, double up to 200 $ and then on some SNG again, or go broke and say thank you for the experience.

Hopeful the latest but let’s see.

I started the summer job promotion on Friday; I started playing the $0.25/$0.50 NL full tables, but quickly moved up to the $0.50/$1 NL tables. I wanted to try to get my points done this weekend, because I knew that the week was going to be busy and I wouldn’t have a lot of time to get some play time in.

I put in around 4 hours of play on Friday, played in a live tournament on Saturday, from noon to 6:30 where I ended up finishing 17 of 46. There was an $8000 prize pool, but unfortunately, I could not manage to cash. After I got home, and relaxed a little, I played some more Red Kings poker, and after around 4 hours, I had about 400 FPP done.

On Sunday afternoon, I played some more, I was having a good session and managed to get my required 500 FPP for the week done fairly quickly playing a mix of $0.50/$1 NL and $1/$2 NL. I decided to keep going, and before I was done, I managed to get over 700 points on the day, netting me over 1000 for the first week of the summer job promo, also putting me 3rd overall in the Daily Points race.

I may be able to get a couple of hours in this week, but probably not too much. I will try to get a really good session or two this weekend to reach my goal of 1000 FPP for week 2 of the 4 week promo.

In my 1st post , I forgot to appear. My name is Hélène alias helaa and I live near Paris to France. I am 27 years old and I am at present encircled with 6 months and I have stopped my work during my pregnancy. Then please, if you cross me, think of my poor heart and that of my baby;) I play for 5 years on poker on diverse rooms and I tried Redking and I was seduced by this challenge: ” summer job “. I am rather a player of tournaments and I sometimes took away of very beautiful sums. In 2008 my earnings were $80 000. I also participated in tournaments live during the ept of Monaco in 2008.

I like very much playing “big ” tournaments but to manage to make 1000 points a week, I have to play sit’ not go. I play only 2 tables because I like analyzing the game of my opponents.
I managed to make 500 points asked for this week and of let go for the continuation. Good luck to all!

I am not a cash game player so to make 500 points the first week I played a lot and I mean a lot of Sit ‘n Go’s. Fortunately there were some winning streaks. I have increased my bankroll by $293.50. No change of plan for the second week, things are going ok.
