More Small Poker Tournaments
It's great having a week off work and getting a few more games of poker under my belt. It is making me feel more confident about my play and when I take those required risks you need to take when playing tournaments, I'm making my plays at the right time. (Most of the time!)
Anyway, I've played a few games over the past 24 hours and these are the results.
$6 + 0.50 Texas Holdem Sit N Go 2nd out of 9 ... $16.20 returned.
$6 + 0.50 Texas Holdem Sit N Go 4th out of 9.
$6 + 0.50 Texas Holdem Sit N Go 8th out of 9.
$11 + 1 Texas Holdem Sit N Go 14th out of 45 ... Really two bad beats put me out of this one but I was playing ok with the increased number of poker players and tournament value.
$6 + 0.50 Texas Holdem Sit N Go 1st out of 9 ... $27 returned.
Overall a small profit of $5.20.

More $6 + 0.50 Tournaments
Been playing more $6 tournaments at Pokerstars recently although I've not managed to update this running commentary on how I'm getting on. Anyway here goes for more of my UK Poker games, even although Pokerstars is actually Dollars play.
$6 + 0.50 Texas Holdem Sit N Go 8th out of 9 ... Not a good start, is it!
$6 + 0.50 Texas Holdem Sit N Go 2nd out of 9 ... Better and in the money with $16.20 returned.
$6 + 0.50 Texas Holdem Sit N Go 2nd out of 9 ... Another $16.20 for second place.
$6 + 0.50 Texas Holdem Sit N Go 1st out of 9 ... Doesn't get better than this and a return of $27.
$6 + 0.50 Texas Holdem Sit N Go 5th out of 9 ... Played ok but going downhill.
$6 + 0.50 Texas Holdem Sit N Go 5th out of 9 ... Again played ok but definately on the slippery slope.
Overall $39 to play the tournaments with a return of $59.40. At least it's a profit for a change!!

After not getting a game for a week or two, I decided to treat myself tonight to a couple of single table sit n gos.
$6.50 NL Holdem
9 Players
4th Place - No cards. Only saw three hands to the river and not a lot seemed worth playing.
$6.50 NL Holdem
9 Players
3rd Place and a return of $10.80. I should have played the odds on my last hand as my game tends to favour this but oh no, I had a better idea and went out a lot quicker than I should have. I should keep those bright ideas to myself!

What am I doing!
Been playing in a few more tournaments lately but not been doing so good. I think it's mainly due to me not concentrating enough on what I'm doing.
Trying to work or browse other sites just doesn't pay of so I've decided the next time I play poker, that's all I'm going to do!
By the way, my total loses work out at $54 for the past few days.
