Second try at the WSOP freeroll Party Poker

Tonight, after 5 hours of Non stop Online No Limit, I finished on 45th place, and received my 2nd WSOP
Freeroll ticket. Top 50th plays for 20 WSOP tickets every saturday. Top 20 today saturday will get a WSOP
buy in at the 2006 WSOP.

The finals are of course a lot tougher, as the players are a lot better. The starting field is approximately 2.500
players, so the chances are 1 in 2.500 / 20. So 1 in 125 to get a wSOP buy in. Not bad, for $0 buy in in the first
place. At my latest try I was so tired. The tournament started at 03.00 AM local time, and my play was terrible.
I could hardly foucs on a single hand. Today the tournament will start at 22:30 localtime, which will be in favour
for us living in Europe. I hope. :-)

Now you can chose to get a ticket to the WSOP 2006 in Las Vegas for $0 or just $1!
You will have to put some effort to it, by playing well, and having a nice streak of good

Re-raise Big Blind Special Syndrom, are you like me?

Well, first try wasn't bad, but I could have ended better. I won several borderline hands, but only to get small stacks. And as usual, I went bezerk when some bigger stacks tried to steal "my" blinds. Hehe, well that's just me. If you wan't to succeed in No Limit Poker, you will have to let hands go, and don't take raises personally. It's just Poker. Poker is a game of information, and the ability read other players.
It is said, that the only way to read players online is by looking at their betting strategies and how fast the push the bet, raise, call or fold button. But there is another factor to reading players online. And that is to try and steal their blinds.
Just a small little raise, if you are in position. Make a little raise, and see how the player at the blind reacts. If he/she re-raises, and you get to see trash cards flashed when you fold, you can be sure that this player is someone that you can trigger to bad plays in the future.

WSOP Freerolls 2006, First Try.

Ah, I finally managed to get a few hours of play last night. My goal this year on the poker front is to
aim for something within the WSOP. I started with a live game satellite 2 weeks ago, in which I placed
9th. Top 3 gets to play for the WSOP ticket. Last night I mangled the PartyPoker WSOP Satellites, and
managed to qualify for a WSOP ticket tournament. 5 hours of play, and lots of marginal calls and raises.
Finished on an honorable 14th place out of 3500 contestants, thanks to a incredibly good start with
a stack close to 100k after only 2 hours of play.

So tonight at 23:00 "the first online WSOP sat for 2006 for me. Top 30 gets a WSOP ticket for different
events. No 1 is the H.O.R.S.E. 2-10 $10k NL WSOP Event, and 11-30 a $2k event. Nooooot bad!

I will keep myself posted here.

$500 Freerolls at PartyPoker, every half hour


Seems that the generous poker site PartyPoker has taken the freeroll business serious. Every half hour after 18:00 each day, until dawn, it's freeroll madness.
That's great news. As some of us have families and mortages to pay every month, freerolls are more than welcome. Not risking our salaries, and the freerolls will encourage us to recommend
PartyPoker to other poker players. This is of course not the only criteria for recommending a poker site, no no, but It doesn't heart that a poker site is giving back some of it's profit, right to
the players. The sharks, the players that make a living out of playing poker, will also profit by
this, as players will return, and might just spend a possible tournament win on some cash game tables.

It's a win win situation!

Update, the $500 freerolls are still on. 2006-03-08, so check it out at least.

My WSOP 2006 plan. Pack your bags, we are going to VEEEGAS!












Ok, how does a father of two (great kids), husband of one lovely wife, full time working, with mortage on the house, car and cat, get to play in the WSOP 2006 main event?

Well, this is my plan. Quite simple in fact. Ehumm, I belive the best plans are kept simple, and ..
aeh, ehumm, well, the cat caught my tounge there.

I am going to play the WSOP 2006!!, ... eeh, at least a Super sub-sub-sub qualifier at partypoker. The buy-in is a monsterous $2. This is how legends are born, the next Moneymaker, Raymer or well ...
me?

I have this dream. One day, when one of my wonderful and adorable sons taps on my shoulder, and says "dad are you winning tonight?". I turn around, with a mischievous smile on my face.
Son, tell mam to pack our bags, we are going to VEEEEEEEEEEEEGAS!!!

Dad,

Lee Jones Low Limit Book. The best a fresh poker player can get.





Winning Low Limit Hold'em Review by Lee Jones.

To be perfectly honest, if it wasn't for this book, I wouldn't have played poker for long.
What Lee teaches about Low Limit poker, is so essential and vital, if you want to survive
or make profit on the low limit poker tables. I known, there is tons of other great poker books, but they are not covering the aspect of playing Low Limit.

The focus in this book is on fixed limit games,
I would say $0,25/$0,50 games and up to $3/$6 fixed limit hold'em cash games, even though
higher limits could apply. After reading this book I started out playing limit games on pacific poker, and I doubled my modest bankroll in a week. It's a must have for limit players I would say. Lee Jones recommends that you re-read it from time to time, and that sure is a good advice. Great work Lee! My wife smiles again.

Now you can make deals on PartyPoker

Deal Making

PartyPoker.com, isconstantly improving and augmenting the service they offer to their players. Now, they're bringing you another great feature – a deal making facility.

Deal making allows players at the final table of a tournament to make a deal for all or part of the remaining prize pool. Deal making is part of the automated process that allows players to choose pre-determined deal structures and custom payouts. Note that during the game itself, a deal is not finalized unless all players have agreed to it.

Deal making is available for most real money, multi-table tournaments with a cash-only prize pool. It is not possible to use the deal making facility in a tournament that offers some of the winners the chance to take their payout in the form of an entry into another tournament.

To check whether a tournament features the deal making facility, go to the Poker Lobby and select a tournament to open the Tournament Lobby. If deal making is possible, it will say 'Final Table Deal Making Possible' in the top bulletin board message.

In the uncertain world of poker, where you can lose your stack on a bad beat, cutting a deal can make sure you still get a slice of the pot!

5 more minutes ...

Starts the first freeroll in this partypoker freeroll marathon. It's about 12:32 PM, and my eyes are heavy as led, but as I am true fighter, I never miss out on a oppurtunity to play a insane wild and crazy freeroll. The best part with freeroll is that noone is losing anything besides time, so you can easily chat with the other players, and make some small jokes on their behalf if the play bad. Including me. LoL

Later today, at 15:00 I will hopefully play a live No Limit tournament, with a $100 buy-in. I love when the buy-in is descently low. This make the players more relaxed, and it's a little bit easier to get their chips. So just because the buy-in is low, don't lower your guard. A poker game is poker game is poker game. Win, even if it's your old grandpa you are playing against. Obviously, I would give my grandpa he's house and money back if he lost. But not during the game. No way!

I like many other players, meaning those who lose more often then we win, usually has a heart that's to soft, atleast during the game. The best games I have played and won, are those when I have imagined that my opponents are evil brats from the "right side of the town", who's just spending "daddys" money. Nuke em Nuke em!! :-)

Well, if you ever play at partypoker, you don't have to worry when you see my nick.

$1.000 dollar freerolls every hour at partypoker right now.

I don't know how long they will have this freeroll mania, but at least every hour from 18:55 ET and 10 hours on. If you are a new registered PartyPoker player you will also have a shot at the $5.000 "new player only" No Limit tournament. When I signed up, I had two shots the $5k tournament within the same week. Bug? I don't know.

Furthermore, they have improved their poker client, so it's even more easy to navigate and filter out the "goodies". BTW, if you are from the UK, Denmark, Sweden, there is a $50.000 dollar freeroll, every month or so. I will update this post with the exact details after the semi-final between SWE - TCH. (Score right now 6 - 3). Yihaa!

So, grab a coke or coffee, put on your coolest poker t-shirt and let them shuffle up.
You can do it right here if you like. And oh, the new client is really nice.
PartyPoker!

My Own Tough Poker Room Reviews

During the years I have played unprofessional poker I have gathered some useful information, about low limit poker and freerolls. I often joke about myself as the blocks self-proclaimed-freeroll-king. (wife moans). However this has led to a great deal of experience and some cash, and least, but not less important, valueable information about poker sites.

I am about to correlate all the information about freeroll and low limit strategies on my mother blog. So check it out during the week. ETA is by next week. But you can check out an unfinished beta by now.

My Own Tough Poker Room Reviews, No B.S

The blog posts will give you valueable information, and my own private ratings about poker sites, their promos, bonus offers, tournaments, fishability, deposit and withdrawal experience, and everything else I can come up with. Stay Tuned, and may you hit beautiful flops, and monsterous pots.

Harrington On Hold'em. Excellent tournament poker books.

Dan Harrington has published the best books about poker tournament strategies, according to me. Both volumes are covered with examples and situations, with step by step argumenting. Excellent! If you want to grasp some advanced strategies from
a well know shark, these books are a must have.

Ok, I must admit, I'm a huge sucker for poker literature. I belive I have the largest collection of pokerbooks in my part of the city, or at least among the top 10. Unfortunately that doesn't make me a very profitable player. Now why is that? Well, it's not because I play bad. To be perfectly honest, I think I have a huge gap in my play, because of my lack of discipline in poker. I really like to challenge the table with odd starting hands, and runner runner hands showdowns. So when I pick up the pott, It's usually big. However, this kind of play is going down the toilet sooner or later, it's going to cost me my bankroll, with a 100% probability.

So If I for instance play well for a couple of hours, not playing more than a few garbish hands, I tend to make a little profit. PROFIT!!, so why don't I stop at the point when I am about to loose my discpline/patience/focus/concentration? I haven't figured that one out yet, I bet (all-in) that I'm not alone doing this fundamental mistake.


Anyway, I think my strongest poker skills, lay within NL tournament play. (Odd as it really takes paticence. LoL) Paradoxes, paradoxes. The skills I have gained is mostly thanks to Dan "ActionDan" Harringtons 2 great NL Tournaments books.

Live from the $50 K freeroll at partypoker tonight.

The self proclaimed king of freerolls @ this longitude/latitude, is up to another swing for 50 k tonight. Right now, my stack is above average, after 30 minutes of play. But consider just getting awful starting hands, it's good. Only Swedes in this tournament, which mean I will have to play my very best to stand a little chance.

Right now, I have a 1510 deep stack and 7 minutes to the 50/100 blinds, so I will have to double up very soon, to be able to play without restrictions. Meaning that I would be able to variate my playing style, to not be an easy read.



I think many live poker players find it hard to play online poker, as there is of course less tells in online poker. You will have to study the other poker players betting patterns to get a little grip. And sometimes you can tell by the time they wait or don't wait, what kind of hand your they are is sitting on.

A common strategy if you have the nuts, is to wait until you only have a second or two to act, before you go all in. This way, some new players get the impression that you are trying to bluff them out of the pot, and it encourages them to call. Another popular name is calling stations.

Keep getting cold hands, and with a tight table, I should bluff more. My stack is back at 1110 and the blinds are 50/100 now. Not a great situation.

My gut feeling says this is not going to be my best tournament. I am having a severe long streak of bad cards at partypoker. I miss every flop, and keep getting outdrawn. I play the same game at all the other sites, and the RNG (Random Number Generator)at ladbrokes is just great, compared to partypokers.

All in with AKs in spades. Let's see. One caller, aaaaaaaah he has AA. ShaIze!. But the luck was on my side this hand. The flop came Q J 4, turn was a blank, but the river was a 10, and gave me a straight.

Chipstack right now. 2820. Average is 2767,65. And 1225 players left of the 3.350 starters.

At this point I will have to sit and wait for pocket pairs or big cards, as the hands are almost always going to an all in situation at this stage of the tournament.

Down to 2.595 after bleeding blinds for some time now. I will need some miracle cards soon to stay in the tournament. Blinds are 75/150 at this point. Average stack is up to 4.090. I keep getting mediocre starting hands, and when the table is full of good and experienced players, you wiill have to play very agressivly pre-flop to stay alive.

Lot's of all in's right now. And AA keeps losing!

The End? Picked up AKo now! All in, but no callers.

Stack down to 2.445 after folding K10o, QJo pre-flop. Largest stack around 21.400

I need to pull a few bluffs, but bluffs are all about your position, and I keep getting 72o on the button.

No matter what I try to think, my gut feeling says that I'm out soon. Tamdededamdamdam. Trying to think optimistic.

After a few good hands I was up to 4.800 and not to far from average stack. Then I played A7o, which I normally don't but as so many folded befor me I took a shot at it. The flop was 6 A 6, so I had a 2 pair with a 7 kicker. I bet the pot and was called by the other guy in a flash. It didn't wake any alarm bells, so I bet another thousand, and he called. The river was a 7, so I thought I was in the lead with my stronger 2 pair. But he held A6o, and won the pot with his full house. My stack down to 1.400.

Picked up another trash hand K7s, a hand I normally throw away without hesitation. But there are circumstances when I play this hand. This was one of them. 3 limpers and the big blind was in the pot, so I raised all in to get one on one action. It worked and the other player showed up pocket deuces. But I missed all five community cards, so I was bumped out of the tournament.

Results: 3 hours of play and not a single penny to my bankroll.

Party party?

Back to the fundamental fish poker blog posts again. Poker bonus wars are going to explode this year, (my educational guess). I don't think any poker rooms are going to bust, not quite yet, but people like me, (read fish) are so tired of losing. The food chain in poker is obviously shark eats guppies. Guppies are getting rare, so Sharks will have to eat Sharks instead.



But there isn't that many sharks at Noble Poker yet. So I will hang out like a turtle, and grind at the lowest smorgasbords.
Swedish Smorgasbord


Well, well. On the 11th there is a new shot for a $7.500 dollars. I don't know how many participants yet, but the last one, only about 50 were registered. I haven't had the time to play at partypoker for a while, so I will need some warm up Sit and Goes asap.
Maybe I will pick up a few new "ahas". I usually save all hand history and re-run the critical ones in my mind, or with a poker application that I have bought.

If I have any success in the no limit tournament, I will share my joy here.

My preparation for the saturday night game will be sleep. It starts at 9:00 PM EST, which equals 3:00 AM localtime here in winterland.

The nasty results will go thru my chain of analyze, as usual. If there is any interesting poker hands or uber lucky rivers to moan about, they will get here. That is my way of debriefing.

Ace King suited against Ace Jack suited

Well, well, time to open up the valve and let some steam out again. Played a descent tournament on Ladbrokes yesterday. Played my usual game as it works well in tournaments. Had about 2,5 x average stack = 10 K in chips, after slowplaying to trips, when I picked up Ace of clubs and King of Clubs. The blinds were up to 100/200 and the other players at the table were shortstacked > 2 K in chips, beside a new player who just arrived from another table.

I was first to act pre-flop, so I fired an all-in to make the shortstacks belive I bluffed. I didn't want more than one to call, and the shorstacks had played pretty tight, so I figured I had it covered. Small blind and Big blind and called, and went all in pre-flop, but my biggest suprise was that the new player with a stack of 800 chips less than mine, wanted a coin flip.

My first thougth was that he held a medium pair, like 77-10 or jacks. That's the only cards I possibly would have called with myself. So I was really suprised that I pre-flop had a 68.90% advantage with my AKs, against his AJs!!

The flop came, and I begged for no jacks. My prayers were answered on the flop (King of spades, 8 of diamonds and Q of clubs), and by hitting the King, my lead went up to 82,5% chance of winning the pot.


The other stack had now a straight draw, and 4 outs to nuke my pair of Kings. He needed a ten. The turn card was a blanck, and the all might river, ... a ten. Lady fortuna was on the other side in this cruical pot, so I just lost it and went all in the next hand with my 800 chip light stack.

This was the third bad beat in a tourney in 5 days. And as I have only played 3 tourneys the last 5 days, my poker luck is down to about -300%. LoL

Fish Poker presents low limit strategies, by a huge tasty Salmon

Bluffing is a often = Your relative position to the buttom. This is absolutely true in many situations.

However, in low limit games, where I usually play, you will often see people in early positions do the bluff raise, right after the flop. I can't say how common this is, but I see it all the time at the $0,25/0,50 and $0,50/1,0 no limit cash games, and "low limit" or freeroll tournaments. This would not work very well in Fixed Limit, as you usually have alot of callers after the flop. For a semi bluff you could bet out on a nut flush draw, even if you have jack after the flop, even in FL, but remember even if you have 9 outs to catch that flush, you will "only" get it about 35% of the time, and you might be outdrawn by someone with a full house draw. This is the tough world a low limit games, people calling with 1 outs to the bitter end.


Another thing you will see more often on low limit tables, is people trying to catch up lost money.
Or more or less on TILT. This is more common on low limit tables for obvious reasons. People at higher stake tables has learned to control their emotions much better, and this Is extremely cruical for your bankroll, and money management. Imagine that you have $100 - $150 dollars (including bonus)
to play with. If you loose big, lets say $40 - $50 dollars in a day, that equals about 30% of your total bankroll. If a company lost 30% of its capital, it would almost go under. So try and think about money in percents instead of dollars. I read somewhere that you should risk more than 3-5% of you bankroll a day. If you loose that, wait until next day to play. It will be worth it, I know, because I have been there.

AA versus 99

Well, well, time for a RANT about loose agressive players again. I should have known by now that AA is not guarantee to pick up a huge pot. Played a tournament at ladbrokes tonight, feeling good, playing solid and tight. Late in the tournament I had about average stack, picked up 45s in spades, folded the hand even though I could have limped like the fish I am. The pot grew huge as two players were competing with Kings and weak kickers. The board contained three fives. Ok, I missed a four of kind, because I mucked. Next hand... Picked up A3s, and another limp situation was possible. But naeh!, flop came 4h 4s 5s, check check, turn card 8 spades. A nice flush with 2 players in the pot. Bah!

100 bucks extra.




3 minutes later, after a paused game, I was on the button, and picked up American Airlines. As only 2 players had entered the pot I choose to slowplay with a minimum raise. The player next to me went all in, so did the player to my left. I was biting my lip as I knew I would tripple my stack. The flop whipped my ass in an instant. There it was, a 9 and two blanks. The guy on my left kicked me out of the tournament with his pocket 9s. Bah! Bah! Bah!

100 bucks extra.

Another QQ bites the dust

December 30, 2005

Played a $50.000 tournament (freeroll) today, just for fun, 2768 players, so I was pretty sure it was going to be hard to even get into the money. ITM. Well, well, I held QQ and was in on the cut off, when a player in middle position raised about pot. I called, and the flop was blank blank blank rainbow, so I thought I'd slow play my queens. I was pretty sure he held JJ, or even 1010 when he betted about pot again. Betting pot is to give your opponent the lowest possible odds to call.

The turn was also a blank, so I called and allin from him, knowing I would take the pot. But BAH!!! In Texas holdem, there sure is 5 community cards, and of course, a Jack fell on the river and gave the fella a three of a kind in jacks.

So remember, trust your gut feeling when to slowplay a good hand, and trust your instincts, what else can you trust? :-)

Bad streak week

Horrible bad streak week struck me, as always after winning a small amount of cash. Played at Party Poker and Bet24, mostly SnG and regular cash games.
I know, everyone is fed up hearing about bad beats, but I'm not, and usually it makes me feel better to rant about them. LoL

Anyway, as promised, I'll post a link to a couple of hundred plays, so you can check em out if you like. Replay your critical hands with applications like Poker Tracker for visual analyzes.

A good idea when you've had a bunch of bad beats against you, is to do something else for a while. Just to get a perspective and shake of those bad feelings. Nothing is more in the way for profitable play than your mood, distractions and tilt. I know from first hand experience.

If you're really p-d off, try and let the anger out on a fast walk around the park, or shout out as loud as you can while sitting in your car. Don't drive while doing that!!

My point is, you really don't have to be very unlucky to lose money. Everyone is going to have the same share of good and bad cards thruout a period of time.

That's all for now,

Back to licking my wounds,
