And so the grind keep on..

February...What a month, didn't realize it was over until it actually was. I managed to complete 1 out of 3 for my January goals but that's more like 1 out of 2 since one wasn't available anymore so it's as follows:

Goals for Feb:





    • Move up to 1.5$ 45/90 man

    I moved up and ran at 20% Roi over 300 games, which is like 80~90% increase from January in volume, they were mostly $1 Turbo 90man and  $1.5 Turbo 45 man with 16% ITM finish% and 21 1st~3rd places finish which I'm not overly excited by, I'm pretty sure I could've done better but I also ran like crap for like 10 days total, I will keep playing these until I feel I have a secure BR for the next level and will move up accordingly, I've crushed the $3.5 level before and did pretty well at the $6.5 as well so it's no unfamiliar territory, just wanting to it right this time, bankroll management wise.

    • Try to get a seat to APPT Seoul



    Haven't got the chance to play one of these yet, but given the fact that it's starting in a week, it doesn't leave much time to try and snatch a seat but nevertheless I'm still confident and will give it my best as always.

    I almost did win a package to MPPC Red Dragon me though, played 5 out of 6 Taiwan players only satellites and made 3 seats to the final qualifier satellite in which I managed to run JJvsKK twice, although after a good start, I barely made it to the top half of the field.




    • Make the top 10 at least once in the weekly Asian Poker League

    I couldn't make this happen since PS stopped those tourneys.

    In Mtts, I had a couple of deep runs but always get smacked with a bad beat near the last 100 left, for instance:

    Poker Stars $2.00+$0.20 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t750/t1500 Blinds + t175 - 8 players - 

    BB: t23663 M = 6.48
    UTG: t15145 M = 4.15
    UTG+1: t62088 M = 17.01
    MP1: t25124 M = 6.88
    Hero (MP2): t33497 M = 9.18
    CO: t8235 M = 2.26
    BTN: t21106 M = 5.78
    SB: t27255 M = 7.47

    Pre Flop: (t3650) Hero is MP2 with K of hearts K of clubs
    UTG calls t1500, UTG+1 raises to t4500, 1 fold, Hero raises to t10500, 3 folds, BB calls t9000, UTG raises to t14970 all in, 1 fold, Hero calls t4470, BB calls t4470

    Flop: (t51560) 2 of spades 6 of diamonds Q of clubs (3 players - 1 is all in)
    BB bets t8518 all in, Hero calls t8518

    Turn: (t68596) J of diamonds (3 players - 2 are all in)

    River: (t68596) 9 of spades (3 players - 2 are all in)

    Final Pot: t68596
    BB shows 9 of diamonds 9 of hearts (three of a kind, Nines)
    UTG shows T of hearts J of clubs (a pair of Jacks)
    Hero shows K of hearts K of clubs (a pair of Kings)
    BB wins t17036
    BB wins t51560



    So for March goals, here we go:

    1. Move up to $2.5 180man/$3.5 45 man
    2. Satellite my way into a live event 
    3. Play at least 10% of the Micro Millions series
    4. Cash out and perhaps have a deep run at the Micro Millions Main Event
    5. 500 games 
    I'll write again once I have some updates, until then, Carpe Diem!
