The days after a Micromillions boost

In the very first day of Micromillions 4 and I had two deep runs, which help me to boost my micro-bankroll.

This Micromillions series started incredibly well for me. In the first 3 events played I developed a solid game and I was able to make a deep run. If the Event #1 was a madness rebuy tournament, where I had a lot of bad situations and coolers, the other two events from Thursday were perfect.

I had a stack and time to play. In the event #3, 6-max NLHE, I finished 938 from more than 41k players, a good result rewarded with only 23,65 USD. But money wasn't that important. The morale boost gained after this tourney was the real prize.

In the same time I had Event #4, Zoom MTT, undergoing and there the things were all the time under control. At one moment I was even in Top 10 chip count, but finally I've ended up 92 and cashed in more than 100 USD.

Micromillions sidebet

I just found out about an interesting sidebet organized by Giovanni regarding Micromillions. Unfortunately it was too late for me to take part to this, but I'll keep a track of my results same time with my fellows ei8htyei8ht, mfcrocker, maedchen80, cardkaahleesi, hollbeans, Roar@me.

From WBCOOP to MicroMillions

WBCOOP is just finished and I have the opportunity to play another series on PokerStars, Micromillions.

I found this online poker festival perfectly created for my bankroll needs, and I'm very happy each time is scheduled. For this edition I'm planning to play as much events as I can. I allready have 2 tickets won at WBCOOP, which I can use for 5,5 USD tournaments.

Today I have two events included in my schedule: Event 1 - rebuy madness for 0,10 USD, Event 3 - 6-max 3,3 USD and Event 4 - 5,5 USD Zoom.

Good luck to all of you participating in this events!

WBCOOP Day 10: The last day and the last ticket

One more ticket grabed and this years WBCOOP ends en fanfare for me.

I've spend my sunday afternoon, yesterday, playing poker like I do since 2010 most of the time. This week I was concentrated on WBCOOP. I played few tables and I kept focus on two main tournaments Event 28 and Event 29. In the same time I tried and managed to qualify for the Sunday Storm twice from my favorite satelitte, 2,2 USD SnG 36 man, with 100% success ratio.

WBCOOP Day 9: A SCOOP ticket!

After nine horrible days I finally did it, and cashed in my first WBCOOP prize.

With just three tickets left I started The Event 25 hoping to change  the luck and make it ITM. The tournament proposed by PokerStars was a No Limit Holdem Deep Stack, the kind of game who permits a lot of manoeuvres and encourage the creative play.

Event #25. It's nice to have a 250 BB's stack. It's funny. The person who write that sentence (me) is a player who has most of the time has 10 - 20 BB's at disposal :)

WBCOOP Day 8: The last meters

Two more days to go till the end of WBCOOP 2013, and I have 3 more interesting events to play.

Yesterday it was a WBCOOP full day with plenty of action. I played two tournaments, a PLO 6-max and a NLH with antes from the first level.

Event #22. Omaha isn't my game though I enjoy playing every time I get the opportunity. Unfortunately (or fortunately  LOL) I get this chances only at big events, and only as freeroll, or invitational. This time was WBCOOP's time :).

About Omaha I know few things but I know them well. I know about starting hands and I read first chapters from the best (in my opinion) Pot Limit Omaha guide existing on the web.

WBCOOP Day 6 & 7: Poker training

Sometimes you need to take a break when you perform an activity day by day very intense results oriented. I felt that way about poker.

In the last two months my game wasn't great and my initial (january) plans are somehow were hampered because of this.

Last two days I spend time, usually allocated to play MTT's, reading the rest of the book Kill everyone and watching some episodes from EPT TV Show.



This kind of TV shows motivates me a lot. I don't know what resorts this thing moves inside of me, but it works. Every time I feel down I watch an EPT or a WSOP episode and I'm up and running LOL

I wait for this week-end to play and to enjoy the beautiful spring time.

Tonight I'll play both events 22 and 23, hoping to cash my first ticket. It will be great for morale.

WBCOOP Day 5: Time to put myself together

The WBCOOP schedule and the number of remaining tickets impose a short break from playing, and the opportunity to set my personal schedule for the following events.

I had a very busy day at work and when I manage to come home late registration from Event 13 was closed. Too bad.

I don't like PL 5-card draw, so I don't play Event 14 and Event 15 kick off too late for me.

So I will play in the next day following tournaments:


Event 22, 08.03, PLO [6-Max]
Event 23, 08.03, NLHE Big Antes
Event 25, 09.03, NLHE Deep-Stacks
Event 28, 10.03, HORSE
Event 29, 10.03, NLHE [6-Max]

WBCOOP Day 4: Bubble!

I was playing today two events from World Championship of Online Poker and the closest to the money was a bubble from the Stud Event.

Monday is a good day to start anything, but not the personal winning series at WBCOOP. No sir, I must wait for that. The field is easy and enjoyable, but I'm not playing my A game so far.

WBCOOP Day 3: No cash so far

3 tickets used and no cash. That's the balance of WBCOOP 2013 for me so far, but I'm looking forward to this festival.

I played only No Limit Holdem Events, and I was the agressor every time. This attitude should be rewarded some day, this week I hope :)
