Poker Tournaments

I am really becoming addicted to tournaments now - in good way. I have a few favorites I have been playing fairly regularly and have been cashing in enough of them that I feel very good about playing. I am playing at Pokerstars and usually play in the $11 - 30k gtd every day. I have added the $22 - $32k gtd to that and once in a while play others. I have played in the $55 - 80k gtd twice - cashed in the first one but not in the 2nd. Those will be treats for when I have done well.

I am doing good early in the tournaments and making it to the cash - now I am working on the middle part of the game. I seem to be going deeper and deeper - but not deep enough yet.

I have not made that elusive final table but I feel it coming soon!

Poker Coaching

Wow - I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on poker lately. I have taken on additional responsibilities at Cardschat and have been very busy.

I has my first coaching session with Zachvac from Cardschat a couple of weeks ago. I am now using HEM - he helped me set it up. The coaching session was great. I need to get some hands in so I can get to my next lesson. ( he is coaching me at $25NL)

Tournaments Going Well

The last 3 days have been good to me. I won $30 in a FT tournament Sunday. Then I won over $123 by finishing first in the Cardschat Pokerstars re-buy. I finished 70th in the 80k guaranteed at Pokerstars yesterday and won $177. Last night I finished 3rd in the Cardschat UB buy-in and won $34. Today I won $35 in the 30k guaranteed at Pokerstars.

I feel a final table in a big MTT coming on soon!

Back From The Cruise

We got home yesterday. The cruise was fantastic - we saw some great shows and had lots of fun.

I can't wait to get back into playing poker. I have played a few Cardschat games today and will play a few again tomorrow. I am anxious to play in some Pokerstars tournaments next week.

I got a ticket to the Pokerlistings $5k freeroll tomorrow so will play in that too. I only need to earn 100 VPP's to get in their next big one so will play some cash games too.

Cruise Time

I will be gone for almost a week on a great cruise with The Barenaked Ladies. It should be loads of fun and I will give a report when I return.

Hopefully there will be a poker table in the casino and I can win a little bit. But we will mostly be busy going from concert to concert. BNL invites some of their favorite bands to perform on the ship and it is a huge floating music festival.

See you in a week!

A Good Day for Poker

Had a good day today. Played in the $11/10k gtd at Pokerstars - only won about $25 but felt it was a good tournament and learned some more from it. I am loving playing tournaments - they feel like the right thing for me now.

I also did well in the Cardschat UltimateBet buy-in. I got heads-up with April and we eventually decided to split it. I was down to about $40 there since I withdrew $340 - and now I am over $100 again.

And prices on flights to London went down so we are booking our May trip tomorrow! Details on that to follow.

Had a Decent Win This Week

I won the Cardschat money added tournament on Sunday night - for $172 which is the most I have won in a while. Why do I have to keep building my bankroll at Fulltilt instead of Pokerstars where I would rather play?? lol

Irexes let me watch him play another tournament - it really helps me a lot. I like his style and he is successful with it. I feel like it is something I can do. I have a lot more confidence when I play tournaments now.

I feel a big win coming soon!!
