1st in one and 7th in the other

180 Gold still

I tried several big tournaments but can't seem to get deep enough to make it worthwhile. Seems like 180player max tournaments are perfect for me.... Here I am final tabling two at the same time.

180 player gold!

9th place in another 180 tournament (results above from www.officialpokerrankings.com). To be honest, this one was wearing me out. It was running longer than normal as everytime a short stack went all in, they would double up. It was brutal. At 4:30am, I was in need of going to sleep badly so I started playing more loose.

I called an all in from the UTG player when I was in the BB with Ac8c. To show you how bad a play that is, check out pokerstove.

I put UTG on top 15% of hands with a full table of 9 players. At least I know it was a bad play and only done because I was tired.

Another winning day

I love the 8.80 tournaments. Of the last 5 I have played in, I have 2 5th place finishes for $108 each and a 4th for $144. That's a pretty good ROI, I'd say.

I also hit a $33 rebuy for $172. I did an add on, so that was $106 profit. Overall, it was a great night for poker. I just wish I had more time I could play.

I've been watching videos off of PokerVT. Click the link above and check it out. I haven't watched any of Daniel's videos, but I'm enjoying Adam Junglen's stuff. It's just a good reminder of how to play online poker. I've been able to expand my starting hands in late position and tighten my starting hands in early position. And I'm getting better at understanding when to shove and when to call shoves.

I've also been using pokerstove to understand my equity against starting hand ranges. Try it and you will learn something. That's for sure. It's really been helping me.

Hope all is treating you well. Stay patient.....
