So Close......
Damn I almost made my third final table tonight. Two straight beats took me from average stack to the shortest stack in the tournament. AK vs AJ and a bloody KK vs AJ pulling the ace on the turn. Well I guess that's poker!
Finished 15th out of 320 players on the $75 MTT for $180. I also managed to make it ITM on 3/4 on the $24 turbos placing first and two seconds on them. Hmmmm am starting to like those turbos. They pay out better, goes a lot faster so blind steals are the key element and allows me to play more games per day! As long as I can keep a good ITM% then they seem to be the logical choice for me.
I'll try out the 5 turbo SnGs and 1 MTT per day routine and let you guys know. Second straight day on the positive (+$220) so am hoping this keeps up. No big paydays but am seeing that its better to consistently make small profits and have a chance at getting paid big rather then draining funds constantly (no matter how trivial it seems) playing the high variance MTTs.

Hey watsup Gamefrog? Just recently found out about your blog while surfing the net and I find it cool and helpful for guys starting out on their poker career like me.
I've been playing for a while now... i started about January this year and kind of seriously making a career out of it so i started a small bankroll myself (check out www.jonpokertour.blogspot.com for my blog)
I haven't tried playing online poker though at least not with real money... So I just wanted to ask if it's possible to seriously play online poker while here in the Phil? What Poker site can you suggest?
Thanks dude... goodluck playing online. =)
hey jon! Check out these blogs for a glimpse at the growing local online poker scene and also for the live play poker community:
pokerfilipinas.blogspot.com
thatstateofmind.blogspot.com
manilagrind.blogspot.com
and there are many more, all of which are linked to those sites mentioned above.
welcome to the bandwagon! hehe.
Thanks man! I'll be sure to check your posts once in a while. =)
BTW maverick, do you play online too? can i just use any credit card to play online here in the phil? How do i cash out?
hehe... thanks.
Yo Mav, just read nickg's click to play. It's very helpful but I still have some questions cos i've never really tried online gamings before.
Do any of you guys have yahoo ids i can add so i can IM you for questions?
Thanks dude! Sorry kung hassle :p
if you wanna ask questions about online play, ask manilagrind or nickG, since gamefrog is based in the US now.
i havent stated online but am going to soon. hopefully hehe.
i think with clicktopay, you just wire the money to your registered bank account here in the Phils.
Thanks again dude. :)
welcome jpt! (sounds like a JGPT rip-off LOL)
well all have ym, if you're talkin' about sngs... hit me up.

@Mav - get your ass online NOW! Hehe. If you need help or a little push lemme know.
@jpt - Yeaps lots of players in Manila playing online. I'm headed back in October and will probably continue playing. In fact forming an online team to break the bonuses and set up a network.
Yes please do read the links provided by Mav. Am too lazy to figure out how to link them to the blog lol.
The discussion on online poker, what sites, strategies etc is a long one. So please browse through my previous posts to get an idea how to get set up. MnlGrind and Nickg are also good people who know more about the local scene.
Yay am getting more readers. Maybe I can sell my ideas some day LOL.
bro just go to change settings then templates and scroll down until you get to the part that says "your links here".
edit mo lang yun. then copy-paste-edit lang, one link after the other.
mali pala yun, iba kasi yung template ko hehe. just click the "edit-me" link beside your blog andun na yung instructions hehe
There!!! You guys proud of me now?? Links are up lol
Thanks guys. I'll try catching up with online poker if i get lucky there. =)
mnlagrnd - hehe never knew about JGPT until now. =)
