Black Deuces – Poker Blog

Played two more $4.4 rush tournaments last night, and won one of them (actually, we made a deal when we were heads-up, splitting it) cashing $222. Huray! This means I’m now looking at a profit of $379 over 37 tournaments, resulting in 259% ROI. Sweet.

For those who love graphs:

Obviously, I am runnng pretty good. But most importantly, I’m playing with a lot of confidence. I’m not afraid to make plays when I think they are the right one. An example:

Hands like these not only can be pretty profitable, they also keep your spirit up. Just imagine what happens when he shoves on my check-raise. I loose a third of my stack and start blaiming myself for making a stupid, unnecessary move (although technically it might be the right play in this spot). I start steaming a bit and start playing too loose ot too scared. A good pokerplayer shouldn’t be affected by this, I know, but maybe I’m not mentally strong enough, just yet. When I’m playing good and luck isn’t too much against me, I’m pretty hard to beat (this might come of as arrogant, but hey, like I said, my confidence-level is way up ), but when I’m confronted with adversity I’m an easy target. Something to work on and think about before this amazing run ends, and the bad-beats start coming!
