Day 5

If it was really that easy. I say that with a touch of arrogance, but it’s true. These lowest levels do provide some real easy money and it’s no surprise that one of the coaches I follow, makes a living out of playing the 1/2c & 2/4c games.Yes he multi tables with up to 24 tables, but I can most definitely see why he does it.
I had only just sat down tonight and this one guy was literally shoving every turn or river. It was always gong to happen that he would stack me and he did. The hand of course was my AA v J2 off. He shoved after the turn to show just a pair of 2’s, I avoided the 7 outer and thanked him most kindly. Well in my mind, you do not want to scare off the fish so I said nothing.
Unfortunately though, it looks like I can not change my game settings whilst on the iPad and so I had to buy in with the table max which was €2. The plan was $1, but with the site being played in € and my account in $$, I just have to go with it. I was fully prepared to quite when I reached my 1.5x of my starting stack, but Mr Fish suddenly vanished before me or anyone else for that matter, could take the rest of his cash. But it’s still another double up.
I also have now raked over the 100 hands required to play the €3000 free roll on Sunday. I just need to suss out now on how to play it. I’ll be driving back home after my tri-weekly visit up north to see family. I’ve just fired up my iPhone 7 and it looks like I can play via that. I don’t need to be my best, just so long as I get to cash, that’s all that matters.
So nothing else happened on the table and I left with just over double my starting stack. I plan to carry on like this until I reach the $20 mark and then I’ll play some €1 Mtt’s along with more cash.
So below are my now normal screenshots of my play today and profit, along with the date on my iPad. All these screenshots will be useful if and when I complete this challenge and I can then read back.

Day 12

Sigh....... Yes that says it all. Even with another couple of hours play tonight, I went to reg for the €3k Sunday Freeroll and says I’m still not played enough raked hands to qualify. I did however qualify for the €1000 tomorrow afternoon at 5pm. I’m going to have to play some more to get me into the other game and if I have the same luck like I did tonight, then I’ll be lucky if I have enough to sit back down again when it’s time to grind again next week. Today’s session was painful and these stakes are driving me insane. I started to look at some Mtt’s and I may still be tempted to play those instead. They do have tournaments for like 55c and €1 and not forgetting my ticket to. But these little staked tournaments run like a normal bigger tournaments with 10 minute blinds and a decent starting stack, so don’t be surprised if I get side tracked in the near future. Binking one of those should get me out of the 1/2c cash games which are killing me. Today was another bad day. I ran a b...

Day 11

I played for about 2 hours today and I was up then down and up again, but nothing really happened for me today. No big hands, poor player pool with limpers and calling stations, so I couldn’t bluff quite as often as I like. But I went with it and ended with a small loss overall for today. I think I might of done enough to play the €3k freeroll on Sunday, but I’m planning on playing Friday, possible two tables if it’s busy enough.

Day 7.

28th July and I’m sat in two tournaments. I have both screens up and the first to start is the €1 flip to the €110 Sunday major. By some miracle I win my first table of 9 players with JJ and then it’s down to about 23 players who’ve all won their tables. Sadly I do not make it past that round and after checking, there’s still 6 players left after the two previous rounds. I knew it was going to be extremely lucky to win a seat, but it’s worth doing in the future when I have more funds. Talking of funds, the €3k Free-Roll starts and with around 470 runners and I’ve got my obligatory 1000 chips I now try to play the very best poker I’ve ever had. Playing super tight, my aim is to make the cash. I check the payouts and chuckle when I see the top 259 players will cash, but it’s just a 11c tournament ticket....... However, I grind my chips up, admittedly with AA three times in about 15 hands but most players have the 3500 starting stacks and know I’m playing tight, so I get respect even t...
