Another First Place SitNGo

23/12/06 3:23 AM

I should be teaching you guys good bankroll management, but I thought I would to take my profits from the last 2 days and try one $50 sit n go single tournament. I just couldn’t help myself, I watched a good wpt tournament on tv tonight and got in a zone. Glad I did, read the rest of this entry for the screenshots of me snapping it off. I can’t wait to start getting into some of the more detailed poker strategies I use at the tables. I am trying to learn my way around this blog interface, and it just occurred to me I can do a screenshot of my wins, or anything for that matter. So it should be easier to illustrate what I am trying to get across with this new found knowledge lol. That’s it for me, I am calling it a night, up almost $300 in 2 days. I have more than doubled my deposit. The key now

3rd Place Finish In First Sit N Go Tournament Today

23/12/06 12:27 AM

Well I was back at the tables today and decided to start off the day with another sitngo tourny. I started out a little slow, folded the first 7 or 8 hands as all I could seem to catch was 10-3 off suit, J-2 ect… I finally got a decent starting hand in late position with KQ spades. The blinds were still cheap at $15-$30 and the pot was raised $120. I opted to call since there were already 5 callers in the hand and I was getting over 6 to 1 on my money if I hit. The flop comes Ace Spades, Jack Spades and 3 clubs. I flopped the nut flush draw. Unfortunately by the time it got around to me we had two players already all in and I was not going to risk my tournament life on a draw. So I opted to fold. I would not have hit anyway so it was a good laydown. Really a no brainer, however if there was a small bet after the flop I would have called just to see the turn for cheap, and I might have hit the nut flush.

This fella runfan99 was tearing up the table. Not by his good playing ability, but was shitting out every hand.

Full Tilt Poker Room Review

Well I am finally back into action at Full Tilt Poker, this is where I am going to build my $200 bankroll into $10K. I have been jam up lately with my sites, so it took me a little longer than antcipated to start my journey to $10K. I chose Full Tilt because it is my favorite place to play online poker. Not only do they have the nicest software imo, but it is one of the few US Online Poker Rooms we can play at. They feature a smoking 100% deposit bonus up to $600, and you can log in at any time and most likely see any of the regular pro poker players at the table to include Phil Ivey, Mike The Mouth, Chris Jesus Ferguson to name a few. Just so you know, my username is offyourface if you care to watch me in action.

I really thought hard about what I wanted to accomplish my first night back at the tables, so after making my $200 deposit,
