$48 S&G

So Full Tilt launched $48 S&G tourneys last week. Yeah, one step up from the $24 S&G tourneys. Anyway, I played one today and somehow managed to finish 8th for about $130. I probably could have done better if I were more patient at the final table. Oh well. Next time.

Crazy Week

Took a bit of a poker break this week cause so much stuff went on. Lets see if I can recap. Sunday: Church/Work, Lunch, an afternoon at the pool, and dinner with friends in Eagle Rock. Funny how it takes 7 freeways to get home- 2 south to 5 south to 110 south to 10 [...]

Friday / Saturday

Friday was knocked out on the bubble on two tourneys. 10th and 11th respectively. Both on bad beats. AA < JJ on one and AQ < AJ on the other. Saturday just wrapped up with a satellite win.

Finished 5th

Moving up from playing the 12 dollar S&Gs was tough at first but it has taught me to play smarter. I just finished a $24 S&G this morning in 5th place for about $150. Now I’m trying to work on consistency. I think that means not playing all the time. Not playing when tired, hungry, [...]

Back from Vegas

It was a good time with the guys. And it was a financially successful weekend as well. But ironically, it wasn’t in poker. I played 3 daily tourneys over the course of 2 days at the Tuscany. I like that place. $25 buy in tourney and it’s a pretty friendly game with a lot of [...]

Las Vegas

It’s 106 there today. Good thing we’re not getting in until this evening, but it will still be hot nonetheless. I’m withdrawing $500 from the bankroll and setting it aside for poker and expenses this weekend. Hopefully will return with more but I’m really not worried about it. With a cheap flight on Southwest, a [...]

3rd in a $24 S&G

Wednesday evening play is off to a great start. I did the same thing as this morning- one $12 S&G and one $24 S&G. For the former, I got knocked out with about 40 players left. For the $24 one, I finished in 3rd place for $266. I don’t think I can keep up this [...]

Final Table AK vs. AK

Great night at Foundry last night though after a 14 hour day on Tuesday, I’m glad for a half day today. Decided to play 2 S&G Tourneys before heading into work. At the $24 one, I got knocked out mid way through, AQ < 77. At the $12 one though, I just finished in 6th [...]

Third

Got third in tonight’s $24 S&G Tourney for about $280 (which includes a bunch of knock out bounties). Tonight was the first time I played in a couple days so it took me a couple tries. I was at a good friend’s wedding last night which was a great time to catch up with old [...]
