Fun Saturday and the end of BR management

Sep 15 2008, 08:14 PM

Yeah, I know, I said I wouldn’t deposit anymore. But what was I supposed to do. I woke up Saturday morning for the start of a 3 day weekend, alone in my apartment because my flatmates are gone for the weekend, no friends in town, and $6.40 left in my Stars account. I blew that up in 20 minutes in SNGs, and after checking my CC account, deposited $70, all I had left on my CC account (I don’t need that cash). So I'm in Online poker for $380.

That’s when I went crazy: following my nitty BR management guidelines, I signed up for the $3.30 2000 guarantied… and $33 20k guarantied. My biggest buy in ever. I just wanted to play big and didn’t care if I lost it all.

I built a big stack early in the 3.30, and ended up min cashing. By the time I busted the 3.30. I had a nice stack in the 33 and made the money. Pretty crazy huh? Wait it’s not finished. I managed to build my stack to 2nd largest for a while (having 5 times AA in the tournie helps), ended up not having any cards in the end and busted disgustingly TT<AK when he makes a club flush on a 4 club board. I took 18 for $156: 1st 3 figure score!!! I was happy, buy the 4k for 1st wasn’t that far away…

Fresh of that nice score and my BR up to around $220, I went on to cash in the next $33 for $53, blow $28 in a $4 rebuy sattie for a wsoop, finish 5th in a $6.50 45 man SNG for $24, and cash in a $22 for $40. On that Saturday, I cashed in every MTT (non-sattie) I played!

The rest of the weekend is a failure, played another 33 a couple 6,50 and a 11 turbo (brutal) for nothing… I’m still left with around $160, so now I can focus on the $6.50 45 man during the week, and see if I blow it all next weekend.

i too had a similar experience, with my last 60 i decided to go all or nothing and play a 55$ HU match on stars which i won. i then played a few 6.50 sng`s to bet a bit more and ended up bring my roll around 180.

i also had a the EPT london 3.30 qualifyer open my aim was to win a seat without having to rebuy once. i played well and didnt rebuy and ended up making 1 bad call which knocked me out in about 18th (top 15 got paid into the 33r qualifyer) so all in all it was a decent night for me
