Black Deuces – Poker Blog

I’m playing the Double Deuce 20+2$ buy-in tonight. I’ll keep you all updated on how it goes.

Update: played a nice hand in the first 30min. Cracked A’s with T’s. The guy just called my 3x raise pre-flop in the BB. Flop: T84, no suit. Villian shoves 3k stack on 300 pot. I snap call. Easy game.

Update: After just one hour I’m out. Stack of only 1,5K chips, after I lost an all-in with AK against AQ… I shove with J’s, someone wakes up with A’s behind me. Better luck next time I guess.

I must say, I really like the Double Deuce format. So, I’m definitely gonna play it again in the future. Hoping for a deep run.

… I usually do well, especially in tournaments. I made over 600$ in less then 3 weeks, in less then 15 tourneys. Running pretty good and the competition is quite soft, just look at the following hand.

They just can’t throw away a hand, it’s beautiful!

First of all I want to apologise for the lack of updates recently. It’s been a busy summer so far.

As a result I haven’t played that much poker this month, although I did go on a poker weekend with a friend of mine at the beginning of July. We spend 2 and a half days playing 1/2€, but mainly due to some crazy suck-outs (I had aces cracked twice when a monkey moved all-in with an underpair and made a set) I booked a 570€ loss.

After that weekend I only played in two 1/1€ games, but because of very bad play I lost five 100€ buy-ins. As a result I lost my whole profit of the month June, and 25% of my live bankroll. Time to slow down a bit and think things over.

And the other hand, my online LHE experiment is going quite well. It’s been on a hold a few weeks, but I started playing again two days ago. I know, I know, a few session don’t tell everything, but I’m pretty confident that this experiment will allow me to build a decent online bankroll. Especially when the hands keep coming and the other players keep playing like morons.

I’ll keep you all posted.
