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.

ABOUT TIME :)

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.

Nightly Sunday session about to begin...

Good evening everyone;

Hope you all having a proftable sunday afternoon!

As for myself, I had most of Sunday off poker and spent some time with girlfriend shopping :)

Now about to begin a sunday night session and I think it is about time to change things around for this month, and start making some $$$ :)

Ill update later with results.
Good Luck!
Fishenzon.

Slow breakeven weekend

Good day too all my followers :)

There isn't much poker going on this Saturday, only managed to play 2 games this morning due to some house duties that had to be done and some guests coming over. On a positive note, I did manage to win the 2 games for a total of  $525. Maybe I will put in a nighly session, depends on the level of alchohol in my blood... ;)

I dont feel like updating too much on the Friday session, due to similar bulshit as I had in the begining of the month but only managed to lose less than 1k, so I am super happy with that.

Thats all for now.
Fishenzon. 

Frustrating poker day

Good morning;

My hopes to continue the 2 day wining streak came to the end yesterday. To say the least, yesterday was proabably one of the most frustrating days of poker this year, if not the worse one.

It got so ridiculous that at some point, I had lost a match to a player who had 30 chips left @ blinds being 25-50. This is almost unheard of that people come back from 30 chips and win the game, and that happened yesterday together with a wave of 2-3 outers and coolers, and about 0-20 in flips throught the day.

Just a funny example of a lost flip @ 10-20 blinds --> http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/2597487

All this contributed to my $-4,290 day on a total of 67 games.
I do admit that I probably tilted away few games due to the bad run of cards, but overall I am prettty satisfied with my game so far this month.

Either way, lets leave that behind, today is a new day, and a fresh start so lets make some of that back.
Good Luck!!! (and i mean it :-) )

Fishenzon.

Decent Day

Nothing too exciting happened today in the poker field, but I am happy to have my 2nd profitable day after a horrible start for the month, so slowly recovering and hope for few more good days as today.

Overall 43 games played for a total of $3,459

Even better news are that I am only 56k vpps away from my 1million vpps, and getting back my 6 black stars :)

Thats about it for now.
Good Night!
Fishenzon.

Lazy Day

Yesterday was not as effective day of poker as I wanted it to be. Was lazy throughout most off the day, and only put in 32 games for a total of +390$. Overall my game was a little off, but I am happy to finish with a little profit after all.

Feeling tired this morning, since I only got about 5 hours of sleep tonight, so I will go get some sleep and than hopefully put in some better volume throughout the day.

Good start to the day as we speak, as two fish players donated me $530 each with two easy ABC games, and a nice +1060 start for the day.

Laters.

Nov 02,2010

Feeling good this morning, had little positive early morning session and looks like account is back to normal activity... :)

Visiting the dentist, than afternoon grind, lunch break, than crush fish at night!

Updates to follow!
Good morning!
Fish.

Good Night :)

Extremely long 1st of the month here...

Final update looks like this:
92 games played today all HUsngs, grinded some back only down $3677. Considering iIwas down twice as much at some point few hours ago, I would consider that a success :)

Tomorrow we shall run better!

Good night
Fish.

Put things in perspective...

Not a great day for me, only got worse by now, close to -6k day (I don't remember when the last time i lost more than 2k a day...)

oh well, when you think things can't get worse, they probably can -->

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/54/poker-beats-brags-variance/14-000-downswing-masochism-hospital-tr-697958/

little break, than grind all night
Cheers.
Fish

Not the start I was hoping for... :)

Well well, my 1st day on the blog didnt start quite well on the poker field, as I lost 10! straight matches to start my month, didnt even tilt much, just about every single bad beat story :) the guy I was playing told me, "you outplay me every hand but im so lucky against u" (which i did), but managed to lose about 4 buyins to him... just to see him decline before winning 1 game :-) Gotta have the nerves to play that game no doubt.

I guess my nice run is about over :)... gonnna grind more 2night to see if i can recover some of the 4500$ i just lost...

Good luck me! :)
Fishenzon.
