Update

I've stayed away from cash games for a while on PokerStars. I've been playing $1.10 45 man Sit-n-Go's and been doing pretty well. Not making a profit but I've been getting in the money or on the bubble.

I've been spending most of my time on parttimepoker.com applying for stakes, placing stakes, and investing into BAPs (Buy a Piece). As of right now I am investing a total of $13 on 5 different players that plan on playing MTT. I've been thinking about it and I think I'm going to create a BAP and have people invest into it. All I need to do is come up with a plan of games that I want to play and I'll post it up.

If you want to invest in me, just let me know. The first thing you're going to need to do is get a PokerStars account which you can obtain by clicking on the PokerStars banner on the right. (Don't forget to add the bonus code when you sign-up). Then you'll need to create a PartTimePoker.com account, (Link to site is to the right). If you have any questions about anything, just leave a comment and I can help you through the process.

Good run on a tourney

I played a $1.10 MTT NLHE $5472.00 Prize pool.

Placed 71/5472

Won: $8.20

Last hand: http://www.pokerhand.org/?4903267

I should've won that hand if that K didn't show up.

I also staked yanboi13 for $2.20 but wasn't able to place in the money for both tourneys.

Ending bankroll: $29.91

Finally a winning stake

I deposited $30 into my Pokerstars account the other day because I lost all of it from that one night. I'll focus on a stricter bankroll management so I won't run into one of those nights again.

I staked MindReaderPT for a 0.25 90 man NLHE SNG and that player was able to place in the money. MindReaderPT placed 11/90 winning $0.55. It was a 50/50 cut so I got $0.40 with a $0.15 profit and $0.15 profit for MindReaderPT.

I'm in the process of staking 4 players for $1.10 NLHE $2,0000 guaranteed for 18:00 ET and 19:00 ET. So far no applications yet.

Bad moves.

Last night I wasn't playing my greatest. I started off playing Limit $1/$2 Holdem and my bankroll was going up and down. I had way too many beers and started to play aggressive. BAD MOVE, my bankroll went from $100 to $0.23 in a matter of minutes. I was raising like crazy trying to bluff people out of the pot when I was playing $3/$6 Limit Holdem.

I've learned my lesson and understands why it's important to be patient, control the way you play and stick to your game plan so something like this doesn't happen. LOL.

Well I'll be starting all over again tomorrow by depositing $40 in to my Pokerstars account and bounce back to reach my goal.

Ending Bankroll: $0.23

Staking

When you have no time to play poker, you can have other players play for you. At www.parttimepoker.com you can either stake player or be stake by others.

I've tried staking players for small amounts to understand the whole system and I plan on staking more players more often. The great thing about online poker is being able to see updated statistics on players through many sites. One site I go to view player statistics is http://www.officialpokerrankings.com. I use that as a tool to pick the player I want to stake. So far I didn't have anyone get into the money for me yet but hopefully that'll change.

Today I'm staking A-D-Tang for a $2.20 NLHE 180 man Turbo. I post the results afterwards.

A-D-Tang was one place away from getting in the money. A-D-Tang placed 19th out of 180. I'll most likely stake this player again for getting so close to cashing. So far I'm 0/7 cashing from staking.

Ending Bankroll: $91.73

Cash Game

Played one table of $1/$2 Limit Hold'em for about 180 hands. Started off with a $20 buy-in again and left with $66.50.
Had a good run but there was one hand in particular that got me good.

I kept on raising with my pocket Q's to find out someone had a straight/flush draw and someone that already had me beat from the beginning with pocket A's. I find it hard to fold my pocket Q's even when I'm being raised after raising them. That's something I need to work on but all in all, I think I played my hand right.

Ending Bankroll: $93.93

$40 Deposit

Today I deposited $40 into my PokerStars account. I started off playing one table of cash game of $1/$2 Limit Hold'em with $20 buy-in. Played about 100+ hands and left with $47.

Then I bought into a $4.40 4-max NLHE tournament and placed 147/955
You finished in 147th place (eliminated at hand #34849656727).


I also played a $1.10 NLHE Tournament and placed 110/5439 winning $4.90
You finished in 110th place (eliminated at hand #34649034821).

I played pretty well today and was patient enough to get in the money for the $1.10 tourney. I was hoping to place lower but I already had a short stack and the blinds were eating me up.

Ending bankroll:$67.43
