The Scoop ticket and more

Yesterday Zack was playing some tourneys. I was just sitting in the living room reading. He had played in the tourneys for over a hour or so. There were 3 tourneys he was playing in at the time. A $33 rebuy for a Scoop ticket worth 2k, a $50 buyin where first was worth 5k or so and last but not least a $11 rebuy tourney where first was worth about 3k. He decided to go to the casino to take the fish money there and asked if I could finish the tourneys for him. Naturally I said yes as I really didnt have any thing to do anyway. I played for several hours making money in all 3 tourneys. I got 27th in the $50 tourney won for $152, got 9th in the $11 rebuy for $267 and amazingly enough won the scoop ticket worth 2k. Heres some picks. The name is meistro here.

online tourney

I know nobody reads but wtf im blogging anyway. So I recently broke up with my girlfriend, Zack, a friend of mine was kind enough to let me stay with him. Now Zack is an interesting guy he is probally just as into poker as i am if not more. I have not had a bankroll for a long time as i didnt have a internet connection or a computer so it didnt matter much. Anyway Zack decided that he would stake me not only online but at the casino as well. So here i go. When we first started playing tourneys together we managed to cash the first day for $1100 total or something like that. I however have lost all my sessions at the casino for atleast $500 probally more. In the mean time I still play online since i have not been back to the casino since. Witch brings me to my reason for blogging today. Zack was tired to he decided hed go to bed and just transfer me some money to play. I had like $25 on ther he gave another $25 so I had roughly $50 to start the night off I joined a $8 180 person turbo tourney a $4 180 person tourney and also a $4 multitable 2k guareented touney. I lost both the 180 tourneys and joined 2 more also losing them. I was waiting for a tourney to start and lost $20 on the cash tables with a floped set when some chootch hit his str8. So all i had left was my $4 tourney that had 740 ppl in it and .32 cents left. My session was not doing well at all. Low and behold I managed to get 4th out of 740 for a $222 win. $550 was first but hey ya cant win em all right. Heres some screen shots from the final table and the cashout structure. See ya on the felt later on today boys as i need to get some sleep now

poker report

this is zak young reporting for the jamie poker blog. we are crushing on pokerstars today... just final tabled a $8 180 man turbo, which is note worthy because we havenèt put in much volume. we should have got first but the god damn min raisers fucked us over with their illogical chotch play. luckily we are crusing in a $4.4 2k guarantee.... 700 runners or so top ten last i checked.

the game plan has been tight and aggressive play with a little stealing sprinkled in. playing tight waiting for hands

update

Well so far the "year of Jamie" has had its ups and downs. After cashing out and spending all that money I won in march I got a full time job, so I have not played much. However I recently got layed off ( fuckin sucks) so I will have more time to play. I got my G.S.T cheuqe the other day and decided to put in $50 bucks. I played last night and played a $5 rebuy with 150 players. I got 12th and first was worth $ 500 and I had a good shot at making the final table but it was late and I made a mistake that I would never normally make. As a result I busted just before the final table. That happens to me alot because I like to go for first, so I push in tight situations on the bubble before the final table as others are nervous and fold incorrectly often. Anyway after playing for a wile yesterday I finished the day with $63 Today I started off by playing a $3 rebuy that I lost after 2 hours of play. Also a $5 , 30 person tourney that I busted in 7th (2 before money) because some chotch had aces! I also joined a $5 tourney with a 3k guarentee prize pool. 885 joined and as I write this there is 275 players with me being in 27th with a abouve average chip stack of about 10k. Wile I was playing those tourneys I was also in a 5-1- cent cash table and I left at $17 after buying in for $10 So as I play this tourney my bankroll is at $40 not to good but only ten bucks from my inital buy in. I just got to keep playing tight and hopefully placing in the money or possibly first place here wish me luck I need the money I got no job!

The Year Of Jamie!

Well I have not blogged in a long time and I honestly wish I had of. Alot has happened.... Lets start of with whats new with me. I got a new job soon........... Enough about me......

To start off the year I got $15 free from Titan poker. I joined a $3 tourney with a few hundred people in it and I got first place. I won like $240. A week later I was playing a $10 tourney with 1100 people and guess what I WON FIRST PLACE FOR A TOTAL OF $3200 AMERICAN! Well now I had a bankroll to play with so I played the 2-4 and the 1-2 nl tables for a bit and did well. Now I did however have a problem......... In order to cash out I had to change my address, and in order to change my address I needed to have I.D to prove who I was. Now for most people that would not be a problem, however I am not most people. I have not had I.D for several years now...... Lucky for me I have a wonderful girlfriend who is not only beautiful but smart too, she booked me a appointment to get I.D. All the wile I had all this money online and it eventually led to GAMBLING DO NOT GAMBLE............. Now you may say "but Jamie poker is gambling" and I agree. When I talk about gambling I talk about roulette and slots and that sort of thing. Needless to say at my peek I was at $6000 American and I lost like 2k gambling on those dumb games. I did however manage to cash out $4000 Canadian or the time $3200 American. I left myself with $1000 bankroll. I donkeyd it away playing roulette and slots. Never ever ever do that ever. Heres some pics.

Another Day Another Dollar $$$

Well today after I woke up I had $145 to start the day, this after cashing out $260 the day before. Right before I went to sleep I drooped like $50 bucks so I felt kind of stupid for that. I was a little drunk (5 tall boyz) and played outside my bankroll for a bit, never good. I was determined to get that money back. Though out the day I played a few multi table tourneys but could not get anything going. I played a few cash tables and was up a bit I believe but I may be wrong, at the very least I was even. The money I made today came purely from sit and goes. I joined and won a $10, thirty person tourney for $120 and also won a $10, ten person tourney as well. I currently have $247 in my bankroll making my daily profit $102. In the morning I plan on cashing out another $100, bringing my total to $350 in cashouts. That off course will still leave me with $147 for my bankroll. This all comes from the $40 deposit I made 2 weeks ago. Here are some pics from the tourneys I won.

Also when I started playing on c.d poker my sit and go stats were horrible. This was due to losing the first few I played. Once you start like that its difficult to come back, but I'm proud to say I did just that. I have enclosed my chart for my sit and go play as of the date notice the huge upswing.

See you all later and wish me luck, my goal is to keep a bankroll and make $700 a month profit!
