Blow Up
Hi folks,
i really had a bad night...i went busto on heads up.i really didn't play bad bud got involved in a lot of unlucky hands.4 major suck outs busted my entire bankroll...nothing i can do about it...shoved it in with the best but it did not hold up :( i'll take a break before coming back to the table.

Good Day!
YoYo,
some small update...played heads up NLH today.humble beginning but managed to play my a game and cards were good to me.some small stacks came to the table...they bought in for like 45 or 50$ [1/2$ blinds] don't understand that.they lost their stack and rebought for the same amount.nevermind easier to push around then.then an italian guy joined my table he bought in regular[200$] and pushed the first 20 mins and i was down 100 $ pretty fast.i decided to to tighten up but the very next hand i got was AJ so raised it 8$ and got called.the following shows how the hand was played.
Total pot $96 | Rake $0.50
Board [5c 5d Kc 4h 2c]
Seat 1: Botaniker (big blind) showed [Jd Ac] and won ($95.50) with a pair of Fives
Seat 2: GAMPXXXX (button) (small blind) showed [Td Qs] and lost with a pair of Fives
as you can see i called him with ace high, really took me some time to figure out, but i decided to call...glad i did.this made him totaly crazy and he mad i guess.he paid nearly every good hand i had and i milked him.in the end he was down 400$ when he left.

Improving my play
Yo,
played some 1/2$ Heads up yesterday and nearly destroyed every of my opponents.after this session(about 5hrs) i decided to play some tourney just to get busted by set over set in a really huge pot...so i was very quick back at the cashgame playing shorthaned 1/2$.was getting junk all the time when i finally repopped an 8$ raise to about for 18$ with JJ. the flop was nothing scary for me just 3 5 7 rainbow.i decided to bet pot which was about 40$ just to get reraised 80$...i went into the tank and shoved it all in.he instantly called with 7 6! was glad to see that but the river made him the winnning straight.i left the table to play some heads up again. first few hands just blind stealing, but the 5th or 6th hand i got suited kq. i raised it up to 12$ and got called. the flop brought me 2 clubs [ 2 5 8]. i bet it out and got called.the turn was a non club 9. i bet again and got raised pretty substancially. i thought about it and called.the river was a j of clubs which made me the the second best nuts. i instantly went all in, wanted it to look like a bluff, and he instanly called and showed 999(little suckout here^^).we played another 30 mins before i finished my session ending up pretty well.

Coming from behind
Hey!
I'm back from Vacation now and managed to make some money.Had a couple of bad beats lately but i stayed calm and managed to get my money back.I bought in for like 500$ on Partypoker which was actually not the thing i should have done dunno why but this site hates me i guess!my aces were felted in a huge,pre flop all in vs jj...nevermind...i played some tourneys and cash game and was well up again.i cashed out on party and made a 30$ deposit on stars as long as my bank transfer isn't credited to my ftp account.so i decided to play a qualifier for the PCA and finished 6th which made a an extra 33$. fed up with tourneys i decided to play heads up 1/2$ and i raped 6 guys in 2h!was up like 300$ at that point and not finished yet.getting more confident with the growing bankroll i made some huge bluffs and good plays to suck people in.I ended up with 1200$ which is fine with me.i think i'll start plo soon same blinds ;)

Here we go!
Hey folks,
i will make my first deposit on Fulltilt,since my sucess on the other sites was like a rollercoaster ride.So i'll try FTP now.I'll start there with 600$ and playing small stacks,hoping to improve my bankroll to move up.I'll play my last tourney on Sunday at Partypoker,which will be the 300k GTD.Played it a few times,but wasnt really lucky anyhow.Finished quite a few times in cash,but got busted a short time later.I hope to be luckier this weekend which is actually my last on Partypoker.My Screenname on FTP is grindin_baby,maybe u'll see me.
I will post updates quite often.My goal is to reach 50K till next year January.
But before i'm getting started i will be on holidays.So i'll probably end up starting like October 13th when i'm back and relaxed ;)
