1st Long Cashgame Session

Last night i had my first long during cashgame session in order to challange myself to play good on a long stretch and also to see and play more hands to grow faster
i started at about 22:30 GMT and ended at 05:30

I cant say that i made alott of cash during this 7 hour session wich seems weird
but it shure gave me an explosion of knowledge about my own game and about others
during this session i started playing just tight then half way tru i got little steamed up and lost half my profit then in the last 2 hours i played my "A" game
loose aggressive in a profitable way making plays understanding when i have FE
i was completely card dead during that 2 hour strecht
i got 72o like 7 times and 72s 3 times
i dont think i saw one pair higher then 9s and Ax higher then A9
luckly that style i was playing didnt need me to get those premium hands as i was making moves with complete garbage all over the place
and when i spiked a set with 96o i got payed good for it

This night really made me understand what my "A" game really is and what i should be looking for when im sitting down at a table
i really enjoyed this long session and i recommend you try it aswell when you have the time
besides making money youre learning alott about youre game

Also there's something nice about going to bed when the sun just came up
anyway i just got up at 12:30 and cant wait to start playing again but first gotta get a shower and some breakfast.

Mansion 100k GTD

Yesterday my bankroll got up to the point where i told myself i could play a $10 satalite to the 100k guaranteed on Mansion
and seeing i was playing so well all day long i wanted to play it that night
unfortunantly there was only 1 satalite left as the 100k started in 90 minutes
after doubting a little while i just said "screw it" lets play
i was doubting because it was a turbo
blinds going up every 4 minutes and can become a total crapshoot around the FT

Very quickly i worked my stack up to around 2300 (1500 starting)
then i got AJs and figured this was my first good hand to play a big pot with
i raised to 650 from MP (blinds 100/200 already)
SB and BB both call flop comes Kxx and i have to fold to the all in shove as i dont want to commit myself with just A hi
few pots later im down to 1k as i get AQo in the CO without hesitation i shove it in and again getting 2 callers showing 55 and 77 however a Q on the flop gives me the win and im up to around 3500
other then that i just had alott of luck with some other hands like KJ vs Ax or Kx vs Ax for about 4 times i geuss the only hand i saw a flop on without having all my chips in was when i got K3s spades on the button UTG mini raises to 400 MP3 calls i call SB folds and the BB goes all in for 700
everybody makes the call and the flop comes A33 2 diamonds UTG instantly shoves it in for about 3k MP folds and i make the easy call and win a big pot against A7

With about 20 players left i had a solid top 3 chipstack wich i didnt gave away anymore
top 6 paid a ticket and without any coinflips i made the ticket

Then half hour after that i played my very first 100k Guaranteed on Mansion
and i had a great feeling about it as my first hand showed AA
MP3 raises to 70 (10/20 blinds) i make it 250 and the BB shoves and i double against his AK
sadly tho i go pretty much card dead make a very nice fold against TT
and overplay my pair of 6s on 5QQ and am officialy shortstacked
normally im pretty good at picking spots to get back up but this time my A4s ran into Aces and im out at 366 out 667 entrants

so all and all im happy i made the ticket and even tho i busted out early and picked a wrong spot i played fairly well and looking forward to my next 100k hoping to make a nice cash

well back to the cash tables for now

Down Swing Central

yup its time

i got my first mansion down swing
just finding myself playing marvelous and just end up losing all the good hands

when i got an overpair somebody made a set or FH
when i got a big overpair somebody shows aces

just now i played my hand IMO pretty good except the river might be discussable

i get aces on the CO Full Ring guy mini raises from UTG+2 i reraise his 0,40 to 0,75 blinds fold and utg calls
pot now has 1,80 villian bets out 0,60 on a QJ4 rainbow board
and i decide to slowplay him as my only danger is KT and QJ (wich im just losing my money to) so i just call
turn comes a harmless 2nd diamond deuce he checks and i decide to check behind to get a nice bet out of him on the river and to let him think im drawing

river is a diamond A now im not concenered about him completing his flush so my only real worry would be KT and QJ as i said be4 QJ im just paying off but i have a set now so only problem is KT he bets out 2,85 in the $3 pot and here is the discussable part IMO
i raised him all in for like another $4,50 he calls and shows KT

now i just wanted to get value out of my set of aces and i dont think i could of layed it down here
but calling alone might have been better

but still many times this could still be QJ or KQ or AQ and im getting value out of it

but these kind of hands i just keep losing on even when im satisfied by how the way i played it i end up having the 2nd best hand

so lets just hope this down swing ends soon because else i can say goodbye to my freshly build up bankroll at Mansion hehe :)

will keep you updated

Mansion Mission

so thanks to Pokernews.nl i heard about this pokerroom called Mansion Poker
read some reviews and decided to give it a quick look
and also i heard about the 100k GTD so another reason to play there

so i deposited just the very small amount of 10 Euro putting half the money at risc right away as i sat down at the minimum cash game 20NL and found out the skill level was pretty sweet
no fighting to contain youre frustration against the endless donks trowing it all in with 72o all day like on pokerstars minumum cash table
but also no real sharks either as the tables arent very LAG either playing little loose aggressive there really works out fine
as 3 days later i worked my money up to 70 euro wich is around $90 (10 euro being $13)

to be on topic to the title the mission is:

to try and create a nice bankroll management i decided to go for the sats for the 100 GTD
as reward of reaching my 1st goal wich is $100 bankroll (wich is like only $10 more) im allowed to play 1 satalite to the 100k if i win a ticket im playing it if im not cashing i gotta work my bankroll up to the previous target ($100) plus an extra $33 (25 euro) then the same reward of playing 1 sat stays
this goes up untill i either cash in the 100k or my bankroll is up at $250 then im changing the mission

so wish me luck hope to have a nice cash to talk about soon
cheers.
