Back to the Leaderboard

This weekend was a great, I cashed in almost every SNG I played and I returned to sharkscope leaderboard for a 18th place. I know if I put more volume I can go more deep on the leaderboard, but I do not have much time to put more volume.
Anyway, I will continue to play the SNG 9s at the micro level and increase my bankroll.

A Royal Flush...

...and also a Straight Flush from my opponents. Both hands are very uncommon to see, in fact was the first time that I saw a Royal Flush. For those who do not know, a Royal Flush is the most strongest hand you can have when playing Texas Holdem and it is a very rare hand, very uncommon to have. A straight Flush is the 2nd strongest hand you can have and it is also very rare.

I was playing a SNG and both hands were on the same game almost one after another. Here are the pictures:

The Straight Flush (a straigth from the same suit):



The Royal Flush (the highest straigth possible from the same suit):



Now, down to business.
I am current on a poor results sequence, I am being busted sometimes on the bubble, sometimes I have the strongest hand PreFlop and Flop but on the Turn or on the River, opponent makes a stronger hand.

I am ok because I have built a great profit before and I am playing acording to bankroll rules so I have to put volume so I can return to my winning games. Anyway, those past results have put me outside of the leaderboard...for a while.

I will do an effort to get back as soon as possible to the leaderboard, I just need some more consistent winnings and I will be back in shape.
See you at the tables!

Leaderboard Results

Happy new 2010 year!

I am taking one step back and started to be more conservative with my bankroll. I decided to play the 1€ SNG's (top 3 get paid) on Pokerstars. I am playing on the regular format (the blinds increase every 10 minutes). I am starting pretty well, I have some great results and already a profit of almost $15 in a few games.
Right now, I am on the sharkscope leaderboard (top 20) at that level wich is good. I will continue to play them and hope to maintain my leaderboard status. It is going to be hard because I do not play so much during the weekdays (to not go so late for bed).

Here is a picture of the top 20 poker players most profitable from all over the world and from all online poker rooms at the SNG 9s buy ins below $2. I am at the 8th place at this level. Of course this board is dynamic the more I play and win, the more chances I have to stay at the leaderboard.
