Fishenzon is BACK :-)

Hello Fishes! ;)

I am EXTREMELY sorry for the lack of updates for the last few weeks, I was super down with poker lately because of some crazy bad variance and just everything going the wrong way and didn't feel like writing anther negative post.

However, it had all changed yesterday (I hope...!), and finally I had a nice heater and ended up making over 10k which brings me to $0 profit this month, and I am so happy about it!!! :) Never felt so good breaking even and making $0 profit ;)

I decided to let go the 1k games I was playing from time to time* and just concentrate on 2 tabling 200-500s till end of the year and try to make a decent profit.

Thats about it for poker, new years is just around the corner and BAHAMAS right after, so good times are coming and I look forward to it and taking some time off online grind and meeting my HU fishes... ;)

Hope everyone is doing well and I promise to update more often for next couple weeks.

Cheers.
Fishenzon.

* Pointless to play anything higher than 500$ for me, its a fact, that every time i took a shot @ 1k's or higher, I either lost all my bankroll or had terrible loosing days, and I think I played well at 95% of the cases.

Back in the black :) + CCOOP

Hi everyone;

I was extremely happy to get my ELITE status so early this year, even before December is here.
It takes a lot of preasure from my back, and now I can just grind some quality sessions without much worry of not getting SNE on time.

Just to compare, last year I had to grind till Dec 30th in order to make SNE just on time and that was very frustrating and cost me a lot of money on the way as a result of constant 4-5 tabing/7 days a week. It was a big achievement nontheless because I had collected almost 500k vpps(!!!) in last 2 months of the year which is almost impossible at the stakes I play. This year was piece of cake compared to 2009 :-)

Since Thursday I had 2 more good sessions which brought my back to positive stats for this month, and hope to keep it up for the rest of the month.

I had been playing well last few weeks and today I took a shot vs a good reg in the 1k games (vs wywrotX), and went 9-7, but since I sold 50% to my buddies mtvfish and plaufish, I only made about $860, but was satisfied with how I played.

Canadian Championships of Online Poker is here as well and about to start tomorrow. I will def play the HU event on the 28th and hopefully few more MTTs on the way, everyone is welcome to look me up and hope I get deep in at least 1 event :)

Also wanted to congratulate Pistons87 for making a nice run @ the 5k NAPT HU event and making it to the final 4 - good job buddy! :)

Thats all for now, cya later.
Fishenzon.

Little upswing and SNE update

Hellow everyone!

Sorry for the lack of updates this past week, was too busy with playing and trying to get SNE status before this week ends.

Finally some good news, after a super bad day last week, I am bouncing back and had 5 straight wining days so far and got my confidence back and some $$$ as well :) Hope this positive trend goes on for at least few more days till I can get the 10k bonus when I hit SNE status in less than 11k vpps :-)))

I am very excited to get my SNE status back, because this is my safety net, and I know even when I am having bad months like this, I can still rely on some good bonuses at the end of the month to pay my mortgage :)

On a different note, I started going to the gym for the 1st time in years this week and that is a big change for me as I have been a lazy bum for way too long and hopefully I can keep it up for few months and get in shape for next summer.

I am also looking forward for this weekend as I will be attending the sex show with my gf and on friday night we are going for my friends birthday party @ the russian sauna! :-) Will Be Wild ;)

Lets get back to crushing now, hope you all doing great.

Fishenzon.

Quick update

Hello everyone;

Just a quick update for the last 2 days, been running terrible pretty much all day yesterday and today, but was able to recover some money and actually profit playing poker :)

also i ran some flips with dibasio just for fun, 1st run we finished 15-15 @ $230s, but the 2nd run I went  13-6 for a nice +2k to finish the night.

A funny thing from yesterday that a fish told me the following after shoving K5o and doubling up vs my A7ss on a QQ68ss board.
1honkey: you run so bad agianst me, why?
1honkey: i remember last night i shoved 73
That just sums it up again for me :) if a fish admits I run bad, I guess that can't get worse ;)

Ciao.
Fishenzon.

<3 poker.

Still struggling + 4k bonus (vohoooo!!!)

Morning grinders;

Seems to me the bad run just doesn't want to go away, and even tho I haven't lose a lot of money, it feels like every game is going to end in a suchout or a cooler and at the end of the day I will still be down few k's.

At some point yesterday I went on a little heater and won 8 games in a row, and thought maybe this a sign to a few normal balances days, but nighly session proved me wrong, here I just a few examples of some of the things I am going through pretty much every single game:

http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/2614598 - one of my favorite for the day
http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/2614599 - last game of the day, should be easy...
http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/2614600 - standard "flip" for me

I can go on and on, but what is the point in complaining? Noone is listening anyhow ;)
Well Well
On a positive note, I did clear a 4k bonus yesterday, so together with it, I had a +2,328 day...


Today will be a long productive grind day, hope i can avoid lossing money!

Good luck.

P.S: As i wrote this post, my day started woth 0-3 and my 1st match i lost AQ to JQ preflop.
