$5 Single Table Sit n Go challenge

Date: Tue, Mar 11, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

If you read my last post you know about my idea to crush all micro stakes on Stars in a series of challenges. Variance can skew results in either direction over a small sample, but for the sake of these challenges i will ignore this and base my results on 20 tournaments. Obviously crushing any stakes would mean playing thousands of sit n gos at that level. But that is just not plausible at this

Weekend Tournaments

Date: Mon, Mar 10, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

I've been playing extremely poorly over the last few days. I've stacked off terribly in just about every tournament i played. Seemed to be having a focusing problem. Just managed to get my chips in the pot in bad situations... being over aggressive at the wrong times. But i played much better today and managed to win a $4 180 man sng. I made an incredible play that propelled me to the victory in

Update

Date: Fri, Mar 7, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Haven't really played much in the last few days. Played a two $20 180 man sngs today and was pleasantly surprized at the level of play... really not that much better than the $4 maybe a bit more aggressive, but thats it. You still see people get it in with complete trash. My best finish has been 50th but i will play some more. perhaps a few per week in addition to the $4 180s i normally play. If

Daily Tournament Results

Date: Tue, Mar 4, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

Woke up early this morning to get in the $5 MTT FO @ 9am (usually get up around 10ish). Because i have to be at work for 6pm when i'm on the night shift, i like to get all my tournaments started by 10:30 the latest. Unfortunately there are not alot of tournaments starting around this time. The ones that i'd like to play either start 5am - 8am or 12pm and later. So that leaves the $5 FO at 9am

Micro Stakes Sng Starting Hand Guide

Date: Sun, Feb 24, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

One of the most important decisions you will make when playing micro stakes sngs, or any poker game for that matter, is which hands to play. Not thinking about the implication of playing certain hands can cost you dearly. You make your hand on the flop only to realize too late that its second best after you've lost your stack. As a micro stake sng player you should always try to play the best

Blog Update

Date: Tue, Feb 19, 2008 Internet Live Tournament

As many of you may have noticed i've changed a few things on the old blog. I haven't played much poker since last Friday when i started this little project. While i had had the idea for some time i just started experimenting and this is what it came to. Blogger doesnt have any three column templates so i had to get in the guts of this one and add some stuff to make it function the way i wanted.
