Pacific Poker - A Great Place for Online Poker

If your looking for a great online poker site look no further than Pacific Poker. Pacific Poker offers plenty of game selection; whether it's Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha H/L, 7card stud. You can always find a game at the level you want to play at.

If tournaments are what you crave, Pacific Poker offers you plenty of Multi Table Tournaments (MTT's)and there are always Sit N Goes. The nice thing is they have buyin's as low as $.50 up to several hundred dollars.

Pacific Poker also has a Bad Beat jackpot & a Royal flush jackpot. You just never know if you'll be the lucky one to win one of these jackpots.

I'm looking forward to their updated version of their site which should be available soon. It will have a great new look and many new features such as time zone selection, and edit table view (for the stats you want to see), as well as Avatar's if you like them.

Good luck at the tables!

No Cruise for me

Last night was the Paradise poker cruise main event. (75 players) I played really decent and ended up finishing in 6th place; unfortunately it was winner take all so I got squat for 6th.

Took a bad beat about ¾ of the way through when I had a guy dominated with AQo vs. AJo allin preflop. Of course it’s 10,K,x, nothing on the turn and then you know what hit on the river…yes a Q to give him a strait.
I rebounded from that and when we got down to the final 8 or so it became a bit of an allin fest. My demise happened on this hand:
Blinds $600, $1200, $75ante.
I’m in the BB with AJo and everyone folds to the SB who raises to $4000 (he had about $21000 vs. my $12000) I push allin and he calls showing 2,3o.
Should be in great shape right...wrong (: a flop of 4, 5, x, then a 6, and finally a 7 to give him a strait.
Another sick beat to finish me off. Had I doubled up on him I’d be within a couple of thousand in chips from the leader and might have had a real shot of winning.

Still looking for my first MTT win(:

Bankroll update – **%$#@

I spent the first 2 ½ months of 2007 growing my bankroll slowly; up about $850 overall (play + bonuses) playing either $50NL or $100NL. What do I do this week on Paradise, start playing 200NL and lose a couple of hundred. So then I go on TILT and start playing on a $500NL table. Took a terrible allin beat. I had Pocket QQ and donkey had A7o, after nothing on the flop but 2 hearts I go allin and he calls. Needless to say he hit runner, runner hearts to make an A high flush. F-that, and I’m out. Had I won that pot I’d be in fantastic shape. BUT NO, I lose the $850 that took me all that time to make.

So now I’m forced to take another step back in limits and will have to grind out some profits & bonuses to get my bankroll respectable again.

This is a similar scenario to what happened in December at the $200NL tables. I just can’t seem to get over the hump with my bankroll to where I’d really be comfortable playing at higher levels. And the funny thing is that I think the players at the $500NL tables are worse than the $200NL players. I just can’t take the chance of losing another large amount or I’ll be playing $.05/.10 tables.

Tournament update

Interpoker 10K - probably one of my worst tournaments I've ever played. I lasted all of about 7 minutes. One guy was raising every hand. I'm sitting with KJo in the BB. Of course he raises preflop, I call his raise. Flop is Jxx and he bets the pot, I decide to go all in. Of course he actually has a hand with AJ and I'm out.

PartyPoker 10K - I played much better in this one. I ended up finishing 67/428 for $30. Ended up being an all in fest later in the tourney. I lost the coin flip I was allin on.

Last chance on March 22 for the Paradise Cruise for 2. It looks like all or nothing in this one, so I plan on playing it aggressively.

March Madness starts tonight. I plan on playing a few games throughout the tournament. I also entered a free NCAA bracket tournament through Linesmaker.

Tournaments

Paradise
