My MTT diary
Ok, i can't find my other diary must be in the 20th page or something, cant be bothered looking for it so i'll just start a new one haha.
In this, i'm just going to post my results from playing MTTs since i am going to start playing a lot more of those and knock back a little bit playing cash as it was getting a bit repetitive doing the same thing day after day after day haha, fancied a new challenge. And i'm hoping that i'll be able to learn a lot more during this challenge, since i don't have a lot of experience playing online MTTs apart from freerolls.
I'll also post any hands i was unsure about and the hands i got knocked out in here as well. Feel free to give me any advice/criticism on my play it will all help.
The tournaments i will be playing will be between $2.20 and $3.30 ones, not 100% sure which types of tournaments would be best to play, but i'm sure i'll get the gist of it soon lol. Might play a $5.50 tournament every now and then as well, my bankroll is £200 ($320)
Played in a couple tournaments yesterday, both $2.20 ones, first one didn't go too well got knocked out just before the first break but the second one i min-cashed for $3.47 after coming 91st/790 players.
Wish me luck! Should be fun haha.

...and we don't use dollars in this country
Registered into 2 tournaments later on, $3.30 NLHE 6 max 4k GTD and the $3.30 NLHE 5k GTD, both of them start soon so wish me luck!
I'm a little inexperienced with online MTTs so it might take a little while to get into it, knowing what tournaments to play and how many to play per day etc. Hopefully the fact i'm a good player can see me through and make me a winning online MTT player in the long run lol.
Try and get 4-5 MTTs going. Get yourself a schedule so you're organised and not just flicking money into random rubbish MTTs. If you know you start at 8PM whenever you play, then find 4-5 good MTTs that kick off between like 7:45 - 9pm and play them every day you do a session.
I've registered for 3 tournaments that all start within 1 hour of each other, think that will do until i get the hang of it lol
Just busted in 445th place in the other tournament i was in (228 paid), had a brilliant chance to get to 20k+ chips, flop a set of 7s, guy snap calls my shove with just a gutshot and hits on the river lol. In the end, i went down to <10bbs, shoved with 10s and lost v AJ.
So overall today i have played 5 MTTs, cashing in 2 and narrowly missing out on a third. I made a loss of $0.36 in total, so a break-even first day of MTTing for me lol.
Might play in the 'big $2.20' tourny at half 1, depends how i feel, might just play a bit of cash instead.
$3.30 NLHE (6 max) $4K GTD 6.45PM
$3.30 NLHE $5K GTD 7PM
$2.20 NLHE (6 max) $3K GTD 7.30PM
$2.20 NLHE $5K GTD 9.15PM
$2.75 NLHE $4K GTD 10PM
Should keep me busy for a few hours anyway! They all add up to about $15 which is only a tenner, not bad for one nights work lol.
Will post results later
Results:
$3.30 NLHE (6 max) $4K GTD 6.45PM - 358th/1992 - $0
$3.30 NLHE $5K GTD 7PM - 641st/2596 - $0
$2.20 NLHE (6 max) $3K GTD 7.30PM - 417th/1827 - $0
$2.20 NLHE $5K GTD 9.15PM - 1540th/2478 - $0
$2.75 NLHE $4K GTD 10PM - N/A
Really should have at least cashed in one of those, i thought i played well especially in the middle stages where i was a little more aggro trying to build a stack, just wasn't to be lol. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day! Won't be able to play in those tournaments tomorrow so i'll need to see what tournaments run after 12am lol. -£10 for today.
Results:
$2.20 NLHE 2.15AM - 88th/512 - $0
$2.20 'big one' NLHE 1.30AM - 2379th/5337 - $0
$3.30 NLHE 1.45AM - 75th/379 - $0
Just can't seem to win a flip in the later stages near the bubble atm, i try and play aggresively to build a stack in the middle stages but i always seem to end up having 15-25 bigs near the bubble, its difficult being aggro when there are so many donks in those tournaments (no disrespect to them lol)
Best example was when i was dealt KK, blinds 150/300 i have 11k, utg raises to 900, 3 callers and i re-raise in the big blind a massive amount to something like 4k, and everyone calls. Flop comes Ace high with 2 clubs, i check, someone bets, someone raises and the other person goes all in - easy fold for me but they turn over J7cc, 85cc and A2o, J7cc wins with a rivered club, i have no idea why some people don't have the sense to dump those hands pre-flop especially after a massive 3bet.
Down about £15 for today, MTTs are bloody hard!! haha.
The big $2.20 7.5K GTD - 1.30AM
$3.30 NLHE (8 max) - 1K GTD - 1.45AM
$2.20 NLHE (6 max) - 1K GTD - 2.15AM
Wish me luck!
First one, third hand in i get dealt pocket aces facing a 100bb shove from a complete and utter **** (i have every right to call him that, his behaviour after the hand in the chatbox was just disgraceful lol) he had pocket 5s and hit the 5 on the river ouch
In the $3.30 one, get dealt pocket jacks in EP, raise and get 4 callers. Flop comes 10 5 2 rainbow, i c-bet and get raised all in by a total maniac, so i call and he turns over A-3 of spades and hits the ace on the river lol.
Hopefully i run better in my last one, bloody variance can be a ****** sometimes haha. (B U G G E R is a swear word on here btw?)
Lost half my chips to a limp/caller with 93o when i had QQ, then i flop 2pr with AQ on a AQ5 flop against another limp/caller goes all in on the flop and yep, you guessed it.. he had pocket 5s lol.
Oh well at least i got a $10 bonus just now, get my money back anyway.
1.30, 1.45 and 2.15 are the times, wish me luck!
If you're out playing poker all evening then grinding online thru the night, what hours do u nowmally sleep?????
And im out playing poker between 7-11.30 every night apart from thursday and saturdays (but i normally go out on saturday nights anyway) so i don't get to sleep until about 7-8am and i don't wake up until after 4-5pm haha, i need my 9 hours
Pretty much the story of tonight again, the donks got the better of me in 2 of the tournys. Got it all in pre both times ahead and lost, ah well. At least im currently 26th out of 100 in my last one, 40 placed paid
Can't seem to win a flip for my life at the later stage of tournaments honestly lol, 4bet shoved 28bbs deep, get called by pocket 7s and they hold
So far i've done nothing in the big one, but in the other 2 i'm in the top 20 of both after a brilliant start lol, will post results later.
Was chip leader for a while before i lost half my stack losing a flip with jacks, then the hand i got knocked out on was shocking, i've got 16bbs K10o in the big blind against 2 limpers and i raise all-in and i get snap called by 10,6 of hearts and yep you guessed it.. 10 on the turn then a 6 on the river.
Absolute disgraceful in my opinion, i mean do those people not have a brain? i know i was 70-30 favourite and i should be happy to get it in good etc etc which i am but its just beyond belief how someone can call off almost all their chips with 10,6 haha and yet again i was victim so some shocking comments in the chatbox afterwards ******* idiots honestly haha.
Jesus christ, wish i was rich so i could just play higher stakes against better players, it would be more fun for me and a better learning experience as well, rather than playing against those donks. Need to win the euromillions i think haha
And i'm not complaining about them getting their money in bad against me, i know its what i want and in the long run i'll make a profit etc but its just terrible poker thats all, i'm not really bothered about the money right now i just want to play proper poker against good players lol
Still doing alright in 2 other ones atm, will post results later
I can't swear on the forums can i?
