Challenge, Day 4

I monitored the tables today and to my surprise there was no action whatsoever, so I procrastinated my session til the very late evening. I mixed in some tables at EverestPoker as well due to the fact that there weren't enough tables at Celeb. My results:

Played hours: 3.6 (5 were allowed)
Stacks: +6.72 (€6047.77)
Total stacks for the challenge: +14.41 (€12964.32)

I had a couple sick setups go against me at Everest but I made up for them over time and ended up profiting pretty well for the day. I was pretty tired towards the end of the session and that's the reason I didn't play the max time allowed. 5 hours are also allowed tomorrow so I'll definitely try and get all those under my belt and hopefully continue to increase my lead against Heiko.

Once again, the stupid hand histories are now showing up (have I mentioned that Windows Vista is a pile of crap?) Maybe I'll get Pokertracker sometime soon and see if they show up then, its certainly worth a shot. I've got a soccer game in the early afternoon, then I'll probably rest a couple hours and then fire up the tables tomorrow evening.

Song of the day: David Guetta - Love is Gone

I don't discuss my bankroll with people I don't know, but I can assure you that I am overbankrolled for the stakes I play.

Wow, Cort, bi Dir läuft es ja nach wie vor super! Spielst Du eigentlich die shorthanded (5er-) Tische bei Celeb oder full ring?

Vielleicht sollte ich es auch nochmal dort versuchen - was mich davon abhält ist, dass Pokertracker im Bossmedia-Netz nicht funktioniert und ich inzwischen doch schon sehr abhängig von meinen Zahlen bin...

Hi Chris ja ich spiele nur die 5max Tische, ab und zu läuft auch ein Fullring Tisch und dann spiel ich den auch, ist aber eher selten.

ok thanks.

but at least can u tell us/me what were the stakes u started? and where are you more successful tournaments or cash game?

I started playing SNGs and played those for well over a year ($50/$100/$200), with a few cash game stints during that time. I made the final transition in early 2007, starting at $2/4 (using my SNG bankroll) and quickly worked my way up to what I play now.

I have always played way over my bankroll because my nightmare would be to have to deposit or even have to move down in stakes.

To answer your final question, cash games are much more profitable than SNGs and it's not even close. I really regret not making the switch sooner.

Cheers,
Cort
