Some poker again.

Deposited 100e today, did decently in 5e tournament... BUT ... i get JJ. Preflop raise, 1 guy calls. Board seems ok, 2 5 7. I raise high, guy goes allin. 66. Turn:6. Oh yeah. No cash.

Another tourney, freeroll. I do very well, even am 1st with some 120k chips when 40 left. BUT
then i get QQ, raise high. Guy goes allin: AA. Ohwell. So i end up 8th out of 800 or so. 3e
for 3 hours work :(

Result of 1st day: -28e. Figure I need patience, lots and lots. PLUS i still hate those israeli people
and italians. (For the record, just those poker players. I'm not a racist.)

First day summa summarum: too much playing, like 5 hours.
Should keep it to 2-3 hours max.

Flashstudies

Today I finally was satisfied enough so I returned my homeassignment for Flash project. Small driving game -> ao.hamk.fi/~mansite/flash/bittismobile_v1.html
Hope you guys approve and enjoy! ;)

Lately not too much poker, just few freerolls for fun. After I manage to figure out "goals" for poker I probably shall deposit some cash and keep here info of my progress. :)

Currently seeking a job for summer 09. Hopefully I find something, this isnt granted as there is economical depression :(

First "bigger" tournament

Today I tried for the first time (well, thats not actually true, I've tried those earlier but not being as experienced) "higher stakes" pokertournament. Buyin 10 euros, rebuy possibility 10 euros. I actually did pretty good, hit nice hands and flops, but then at one point I have KK. Raise high, next position goes allin. What to do? Pay... and heart stops when I see AA. Well, I lose 2/3 of chips there, but I manage to climb back. Though perhaps I played it too shy then.

Bought once chips at break so chips cost 20 euros. At end I'm 38th out of 195 players, 27th though gets paid (47e) ...so, I was quite close. Nothing bad, just on the end I drop by having AK suited hearts vs 89 suited spades. And ofcourse, its some rotten, lucky italian who gets a FLUSH with that 89 spades. HOW very lucky and typical.

I hate Italians. I just do.

Few pokertournaments...

3th March: 2e freezeout tournament: 2nd / 433 : 94 euros.
*Interesting tournament, was nice to climb up positions in finaltable... whereas I probably
win this tournament mostly due I asked nice girl out for a cup of coffee... and the moment she told she'll be busy... I get straightflush! Moral: lucky in cards, unluck in love..?
Anyway, this was pleasant surprise as my stack went up nicely when it went down in disaster
since I started to play NL 100 tables too soon. Anyways, now back and some earnt where I started!

5th March: 1e freezeout tournament: 11th / 354: 6 euros.
*Valuable lesson: be very careful once playing vs tournament leader NO MATTER how good you flop, unless really nuts. I had QQ and got pretty cheap flop, so why not? Just me and current tournament leader in that hand. Flop comes: Queen! But two spades. Opponent raises a bit, I go allin. Instant payment and my heart stops, he has 2 spades. Turn: spade. Bummer! But I still hope river gives a table pair or quads. Nope. Well. If I'd only won that hand I'd probably won that tournament. Bit disappointted still but relatively cheap lesson for future! :)

Roll so far as I write this: 147 euros. Deposited 100 euros about 2 weeks ago, was up like 200e but then got greedy. Anyway, that was valuable lesson and I've managed to climb up without re-deposits. Handy that new c4a's rake bonus...
