Re: Cooler's - €50 to €1k Challenge. (Currently €670.35)

Maybe said in jest but it happens to me all the time ...... well, the one time I had any money to withdraw !!
It has happened to me before, but its probably just in my head! Nice going aldric :ok Steady progress, even with the blip ......
There are quite a few coolers challenges at the moment (without reading them all so I may be wrong ;)) and you seem to be having a bit more success than others ....... any secret to your success ?
Thanks a lot :ok I think all the cooler challenges are doing well and I think we are ALL in profit. Slapdash has more profit than me, but he did start of with a higher starting back and is playing higher stakes.... although he did go down to 200ish euros so he is doing fantastically well. There is no secret to what I am doing, I am as tight as anything unless I get premium cards and when I get to around 1k in chips I start trying to steal blinds. Usually with a minimum of Ax but if required I am happy to try to steal with any 2 cards. I would say that I might have played a few more hands than usual today as I was getting frustrated. I lost my last 5 games and I don't think that has ever happened to me before. I am going to try to make sure that it doesn't happen again.

Re: Cooler's - €50 to €1k Challenge. (Currently €592.35) I was officially on Super Tilt!

Those are all coolers believe it or not and I think I bubbled on at least 4 of them. Thankfully I won my final game which was a €30 although I admit I was lucky to double up with a rubbish hand when getting blinded away. I really don't know whats happened with my recent results, its completely shocking to be honest. Was this bad play? I think so as I didn't need to push quite so early but yet again a runner, runner beat.. ***** Hand 1325256135 ***** 100.00/200.00 Texas Hold'em (No Limit ) - 17 November 2008 21:09:24 Cooler (Real /Tournament ) Seat 1: Mühle2008 (1435.00) Seat 2: chr57360 (1480.00) Seat 3: Unknown (0.00) Seat 4: Waleb87 (1475.00) Seat 5: vinovinae (1570.00) Seat 6: Mudslide (805.00) Seat 7: PL-Aldric (1290.00) Seat 8: bells73 (1645.00) Seat 9: xekolzx (3225.00) Seat 10: ineffable (2075.00) PL-Aldric post SB 100.00 bells73 post BB 200.00 ** Deal ** Mühle2008 [N/A, N/A] chr57360 [N/A, N/A] Waleb87 [N/A, N/A] vinovinae [N/A, N/A] Mudslide [N/A, N/A] PL-Aldric [Ac, Qs] bells73 [N/A, N/A] xekolzx [N/A, N/A] ineffable [N/A, N/A] *** Bet Round 1 *** xekolzx Call 200.00 ineffable Fold Mühle2008 Fold chr57360 Fold Waleb87 Fold vinovinae Fold Mudslide Fold PL-Aldric All-in 1290.00 bells73 Fold xekolzx Call 1290.00 *** Flop(Board): *** : [3d, 10c, 2s] *** Turn(Board): *** : [3d, 10c, 2s, As] *** River(Board): *** : [3d, 10c, 2s, As, Js] *** Showdown *** : Rake: 0.00 Total Pot: 2780.00 Mühle2008 Fold Win: 0.00 chr57360 Fold Win: 0.00 Waleb87 Fold Win: 0.00 vinovinae Fold Win: 0.00 Mudslide Fold Win: 0.00 PL-Aldric [Ac, Qs] Pair of aces Win: 0.00 bells73 Fold Win: 0.00 xekolzx [Qh, Kd] Ace high straight Win: 2780.00 ineffable Fold Win: 0.00 oh and here is another runner runner beat..... ***** Hand 1325264830 ***** 50.00/100.00 Texas Hold'em (No Limit ) - 17 November 2008 21:13:55 Cooler (Real /Tournament ) Seat 1: por911sche (1685.00) Seat 2: kimi669 (683.00) Seat 5: PL-Aldric (1230.00) Seat 3: Unknown (0.00) Seat 4: toribio01 (3940.00) Seat 6: Dansken33 (1812.00) Seat 7: jhpower (2733.00) Seat 8: AkostaA (1467.00) Seat 9: Unknown (0.00) Seat 10: Lehink74 (1450.00) kimi669 post SB 50.00 toribio01 post BB 100.00 ** Deal ** por911sche [N/A, N/A] kimi669 [N/A, N/A] PL-Aldric [As, Ad] toribio01 [N/A, N/A] Dansken33 [N/A, N/A] jhpower [N/A, N/A] AkostaA [N/A, N/A] Lehink74 [N/A, N/A] *** Bet Round 1 *** PL-Aldric Raise to 500.00 Dansken33 Fold jhpower Fold AkostaA Fold Lehink74 Fold por911sche Fold kimi669 All-in 683.00 toribio01 Fold PL-Aldric Call 683.00 *** Flop(Board): *** : [4d, 6d, 2d] *** Turn(Board): *** : [4d, 6d, 2d, 7s] *** River(Board): *** : [4d, 6d, 2d, 7s, 3s] *** Showdown *** : Rake: 0.00 Total Pot: 1466.00 por911sche Fold Win: 0.00 kimi669 [5d, 5h] Straight to the seven Win: 1466.00 PL-Aldric [As, Ad] Pair of aces Win: 0.00 toribio01 Fold Win: 0.00 Dansken33 Fold Win: 0.00 jhpower Fold Win: 0.00 AkostaA Fold Win: 0.00 Lehink74 Fold Win: 0.00 ------ I have stopped for the night, tomorrow is another day and hopefully pokerkings will have forgotten I withdrew yesterday!

Re: Cooler's - €50 to €1k Challenge. (Currently €606.95) I have deposited in Poker Heaven, another boss site to give me a bonus to work off. I deposited €200 and will have €400 worth of bonus to work off, however I won't manage that as I will only have 60 days to clear it (150 FPP for each €5 bonus). I will also be getting the usual boss rake back at 30%, which I believe is paid on the 1st of every month with Poker Heaven - so 7 days to rake a minimum of €100 Euro's.

Re: Cooler's - €50 to €1k Challenge. (Currently €621.95) Seems its just a confidence drop combined with bad luck. When this happens me playing sit and goes i drop down a couple of levels were losing doesnt matter as much and a few wins confidence is back up. Might be worth a try just to give yourself a little kick start.

I would agree with that, my confidence has dropped a wee bit but thats mainly because of the bad luck. I know that this will change though :ok The problem for me dropping down is that I won't care so much and I will play more poker. To me coolers aren't about playing proper poker so I would probably be even less profitable. (does that make sense?) I plan to play about 65 games in the next 5 days (I need to if im going to get rakeback from Poker Heaven) and I will review things after that. Thanks for your comments. :ok
