Mixed-Games MTTs on PS

Thank you

I made it into the 109$ NLO8 KOmania, and just won a seat to the 539$ PLO highroller that starts now...

In the money in 530$ PLO highroller, and 3rd of seven left with 32bb...
Raidalot is massive chipleader, and many shortstacks... Lets gooo

Take it home

Aaahh... Made 4th for 1825$.
Got carddead at final table, but 3 players busted rather quickly.
Shoved 11bb with AAxx vs pot open and a caller, but couldnt hold for triple up vs raidalots QJT6.

Am happy with how i played until close to bubble. Really pulled some moves.
But then it was icm cage for my stacksize when bubble approached.

Got into the 109$ NLO8 KOmania, and also the 109 hyper version of it, but only made 25$ total.

In 11$ PLO KOmania, i lost 88%er shoved on the turn for huge chiplead stack with 24 left.

Bankroll = 2834$

Of course taking tomorrow off.
Am going to visit a friend that i didnt see since a few weeks. Surely having a sixpack, and playing some FIFA on playstation.

Im really looking forward to the sunday 8 million on 7th of April.
I already have two 5.50 and eight 2.20 satellite tickets to it, which i collected in the super soft 75cent spins whenever i had too few tables going...

If anyone is wondering what the secret to my current success is, i will tell you now:

Pokerstars last client for my region had bankroll management feature, which i have set to 2$ for Cash, and for 11$ MTTs at some point in the past, knowing very well that cash game or bigger MTTs could Ruin me within a week.
The new client, tho, doesnt have the brm feature anymore. Hence why my limits are basically frozen for me.

I could send an e-mail to Pokerstars to lift those Limits, saying i use the still available Limits for Max loss per day/week/month, but why should i do that...

Im really very good at satellites, even at nlhe, and quiet good at Mixed and Omaha, so why shouldnt i just pay 60 to 70$ per 109$ event that i play on average, when my edge in the three figure event is small, anyway...

Tomorrow is the 22$ horse, and the usual stuff, and i'll play a roughly 8 hours session.

Busted most games, stone bubbled two satellites and had no luck in 55$ PLO KOmania.

Busted 20th in pot for big chiplead in 11$ PLO KOmania...
Also cashed mini octopus.

Bankroll = 2686$

Likely take tomorrow off to visit family, and friends afterwards.

Only played NLO8 turbos and hypers, and the crazy 11$ rebuy PLO 4max turbo after peak hours, but got lucky and scored a second, a fourth and a fifth place.

Bankroll = 2832$

Playing a real session tomorrow.
I'll surely invest a few bullets trying to get into the 530$ PLO thursday thrill, but i will not skip my day-savers or satellites to 22-55$s in favour of long shot satellites to that one.

I think i fired more than 40 buy-ins, and made like two min-cashes and three min-bounties...
Got into 82$ to 530, but lost an exact 50/50 aiotf for the chiplead...

Once i busted three MTTs back to back to back hands,...
But hey, i won an 11$ sunday 8 million ticket for 75cents... Also have a 5.50 Ticket, and twenty 2.20 tickets, lol.
I really need to stop playing these 75c spins, and switch to 1$ PLO spins when i have too few tables.

The amount of runner runner suckouts today felt like i was in a bad movie. But i ran so good the last time, it was just a question of time until i have another doomswitch day like this.

If i should drop back down to 2.2k roll (200 max buy-ins), i think i will just fire a single bullet in satellites that lead to events bigger than 55$, or maybe even skip some of them, like the NLO8.

Its just 6 weeks until SCOOP starts, and i hope that i will reach at least a 3.3k roll by then.
The huge value in SCOOP of course comes with way bigger variance due to the "huge" fieldsizes for mixed events, and i ofc want to fire lots of satellites to 22-215$s, without losing like half my roll, in case of heavy run bad.

Bankroll = 2531$

Lost three hundos today...
Will not late-re-reg so many games tomorrow.

Looking forward to play a nice session tomorrow. Will hopefully hit one of the early day savers to freeroll the rest, which always feels great... But if i run as bad as today over first two or three hours, i might end the session early to do something else.

Worked out as planned. Scored first satellite to 22$ PLO KOmania, and made second place for roughly 300$ total.

Also bubbled a satty to 55 8game, and min-cashed some day savers.

Got into 22$ Stud Hi, but ran super could after a good start. Also made 16th in 5 buck 8game octopus.

Didnt fire a single 11$ satellite, but will surely do that tomorrow. Mos def for 8game, and maybe for PLO too.

Bankroll = 2651$

Only playing the 5.50 to 55 NLO8 KOmania hyper thats left now...

Guess tomorrow will be high variance, due to all PLO and NLO8 being 75% knockout, but i have a feeling that i will ship one of those.
Also bubbled too many mixed satellites in a row to not get into one tomorrow, lol.

Also, its the the stud8 22$ day, and i will skip some 11$ hyper satellites to play both sats to that one tomorrow.
But i will again likely skip the last hours of Juicy weekend NLO8 turbos and hypers, because my best friends birthday is on sunday, and i ofc need to be there before midnight.

My feeling yesterday was right, i shipped one.

Managed to get into the 109$ PLO KOmania, and ran extremly well, even hitting naked runner runner, and heads, i got AAxx twice in a row for the win.
Earned me 229$ for first place, aaand... 1293$ in knockouts!

Bankroll = 4094$

Now going to my. Bests friends birthday, and hope to avoid drinking too much, to not have to play with a huge hangover tomorrow.

Now i can happily keep firing the satellites to the big Events, first of all 😀

GG you're killing it.

Thank you

Today was brutal. I stone bubbled a PLO to 55$, and also stone bubbled 82$ horse satellite.

But i got into the 22$ PLO KOmania, the 44$ 8game, the 82$ to 530$ PLO, and the 109$ 8game... And all i got was a min bounty...

The 82$ to 530 was so ugly. I was big chipleader, and twice lost decent AAxx hands all in preflop vs two terribly unconnected doublesuited hands that blocked each other 3way, giving me 52% equity once, and 43% on the other 3way all in... Would have easily won a seat, if only the first one would have been good.

Been playing bad at the end of the sessions, losing a few more bullets than i should in turbo and hyper day savers.

Bankroll = 3750$

Am likely grinding tomorrow, too. Adding more high value day savers than on weekends, to lower my variance.

Wanna get this update done, and instantly hit the bed when i busted or shipped the last hypers.

Been a mixed day with good n bad luck.
Managed to get into the 55$ PLO KOmania, but busted. But i shipped the 7.50$ omania, which was comical... Been chipleader with 130bb at final table, second had 90bb, and other five had below 30bb. With 4 players left, i had 120bb, and the three others had below 20bb. With 3 left, i had both of them below 10bb...
If you have such a lead in a vanilla non bounty, its smart to keep the shortest guy alive, to keep icm pressure for all others. Worked out well, despite a 7 minute disconnect. Won 152$ for first.

Also made a lot of min-cashes and bounties in day savers.

Bankroll = roughly 3820$, if i bust the last two sats and the hyper NLO8 KOmania, with only one re-entry.

Will fire max bullets to the 530$ PLO super tuesday in the 3.30, 5.50 and 7.50$ tomorrow, but aside of that, i will again play lots of high value day savers to hopefully get at least a small profit out of the day again.

The first 11$ to 109$ PLO KOmania usually gets cancelled during the week, hence why thats nearly my only shot-taking. I can basically afford to play 55$ PLO KOmania and 8game directly by now, because they have tiny fieldsizes.

Good fight, good night.

Dayum... Made 3rd in PLO8 KOmania 33$ for which i won a seat. Busted vs an insane hero call off naked jacks on a queen high, high only str8 river, where he had second pair and str8blocker and called half pot all in on river, cause i had the biggest bounty... we're i should have gotten a fold and win that thing...

Bankroll = 4136$

Cant wait to grind the next two days. Dont have to leave the house until thursday, cause im sorted with all good food, drinks and such.
I have a feeling that i'll get into that 530$ PLO... Well See... Gn8

Satellites didnt make much today, only got into 22$ PLO KOmania, and the 16.50$ turbo version of it, but couldnt cash them.
There was a spot where i had twopair, and was forced to call off a 5way all-in for 4 bounties in a bloated pot, but only had 17% equity, and no luck.

But i made quite a few bounties and cashed in the usual day savers, hence why im only down about a hundred today.

Been winning about 10$ in PLO 1$ Spin and goes, where opponents are awfull. Yesterday, some guy reraised pre with 9993r, and today guy with JJJ3ss tried his luck, flipping preflop...
Those spins are great to learn shortstack PLO in the most important positions.

Bankroll = 4025$

If i'll play tomorrow, i'll start the session 3 hours later, and maybe also end it a bit earlier, if i manage to hit an early score.

Over the holidays this weekend, games will surely be super soft, and i intend to grind some long sessions again.

Had an awfull day of set ups and coolers.

Managed to get into 22$ LO8 game of the day, and also won a seat to the 109$ PLO KOmania, but only got a 25$ bounty.
Very frustrating run after an early chiplead, where a truly bad player won all the chips, cold-calling 3bets with stuff like 4577r out of position, hitting everything, while i couldnt even make a pair...

But hey, thats poker. If bad players wouldnt go on a run every now and then, there would be no games.

Been playing bad myself in the last games, spazzing pretty hard, which i wont repeat.

Bankroll = 3835$

Next 5 days will be a sick grind over the holidays. I dont have any obligations in that time, and will buy all food etc that i need tomorrow, early afternoon.

I intend to get into a daily habit of taking a walk in the forest on empty stomach after waking up, then take a long shower before eating a big breakfast, and just watch some videos before starting the roughly 10 hours grind on each of those 5 days.

Will surely take tuesday off, aside of a single satellite to the 530$ PLO. Likely also skip wednesday.

Good luck and happy holidays to all of you.

Im in the 530$ PLO thursday thrill, just started...

That was a nice run. Collected two 125$ bounties in one hand, and later didnt really look at the other table with seven left, me sitting on 40bb as 5th, and all of a suddenly, we are just 4 left, and in the money.

Then i got single suited aces, re-pot pre, and lose a flip for 1:1 spr otf...

Looking like i get into the 33$ plo8 hot KOmania, and also have a 5.50 to 55 bucks satellite for the hyper version of itleft.

Solid start to the holidays 😀

Bankroll = 4424$ (If i bust last two games)

Tomorrow is the 75% bounty madness, but after shipping the 109$ PLO KOmania last week, i think i can maybe manage to ship the 11$, where i busted 12th to 20th like five of the last seven days, or so...

Tomorrow is ofc friday, not saturday... Plus some typos i couldnt correct anymore...

Aiming for solid 9 hours of sleep now, which will likely work out well, cause i started doing 4 minutes of push ups, squats and dumbell rows during 4 of my 5 minute breaks again. Also doing some other easy complimentary stuff for good posture right after waking up.

Since there is nothing really big tomorrow, i will likely start firing my twenty 2.20$ tickets to sunday 8 million... Really need to get into that one... Maybe even try to get into this weekends sunday million, with a single 11$ shot.

Won the third tournament of the day, an 11$ 8game with 42 players for 172$, but aside of a seat to the 55$ PLO KOmania that i busted, i only made a few bounties.

Ended the grind early for minimal 13$ profit today, and only fire a few of my 2.20$ tickets to sunday 8 million in a splash rebuy now.

Bankroll = 4437$

Looking forward to playing the 75% KO madness tomorrow.

Oh damn... Im on insane monkey tilt.

Busted 109$ 8game and 44$ PLO8 KOmania.

Lost top two and sets to topset a dozen times, nutfulls to quads, and in 3.30 rebuy to 215$ PLO KOmania, i lost 14 preflop all ins in a row...

I ran like a turtle lieing on its back, from start to near end now.

I even audibly sweared for the first time this month - at home - and when i lost a 90%er to get into the 109$ PLO, i smashed my fist on the table...

Now i spazz everything above 4100$ to get into the sunday million tomorrow, and the sunday 8 million the next week, including eight 2$ Tickets i have left.... Wish me luck...

Im so ****ing mad,.....
Pulled the plug at 4120$, smoking a big fat doobey now, and head out to an eastern fire with a friend, not far away from home...

Will fire every freakin satellite under the sun tomorrow, and wont ever second guess anything or stop it, except when i drop down to 3.85k for 350 max buy-ins...

Drank a huge glass of single malt before heading out, and finshed my friends half a bottle of Jägermeister he had left with him, before we arrived at the fire...

Right after we got there, i met a 250 pounds bi-sexual girl, who has been digging on me before, gifting me half of a decent molly once, a few years ago, etc...

I couldnt help myself and said "would you maybe like to drink a nice wine with me"...

She smilingly said yes, and i instantly pulled out a bottle of wine out of my jacket right there at the fire - like a true bum - and she had to laugh, before i did...

Will stay slightly below 12 drinks today, and be able to perform well this sunday.
Mostly mixed games on sundays, but wouldnt hurt to get into a big PLO event, aside of that.

After scoring two of two 530$s this month, i'll ofc fire max bullets to the 530$ PLO sunday highroller again. As i said, no changes, if i dont drop below $3.850, aka 350 max bullets

Congrats on your latest results from a fellow German grinder
Stay disciplined in terms of bankroll/tilt because from what I was thinking initially this might be the harder part of the Challenge for you. If you can keep up the mental then you can be very successful IMO. Will keep following and best of luck for the coming Sessions

Thanks.... Ya, it is.

Tho, i feel pretty save with my frozen 11$ limits.
But it ofc feels bad, when you spazz some stacks after a bad day... regretting it later...

Honestly, my NLO8 strategy is basically just knowing when i have at least about 45% equity vs everything but AA2x, and shove that, if its a bounty, and thats just slightly exagerrated...

Would maybe make sense to skip most or al of of those turbos and hypers at the end of the day - allowing me more focus for the last one or two important games - but sometimes its tough to skip breakeven flipaments, when being down for the day.

Maybe i add some changes to my schedule, even if i keep winning, after i took a few days off next week.

Only thing being important is to not go on a big downswing before SCOOP, because firing about 65$ for big field satellites on nearly 30 days means about 2000$ in buy ins, where i could easily just min-cash two or three 55-215$ Events.
