Another Day....Another MTT Win!

Just a quick update to let you know that last night I managed to take down another MTT on Sky Poker - the £1k GTD Mini Open. I'm on a bit of a heater the last couple of weeks and I'm happy where my game is right now.

1st of 311 entrants!
Until next time....Good Luck at the Tables!

Mixed Bag

Last week was a bit of a mixed bag for me in terms of results but I felt I played fairly well all week and I'm not too concerned of the results as we all know we shouldn't be results orientated.

My results from last week are:-

  • Cashed in 1 out of 4 satellites
  • Cashed in 3 out of 11 MTT's
Some good news though....last night I decided to take a rest from the Merge network and play a £2 bounty tournament on another of my poker sites (Sky Poker) and took down the tournament which had 104 entrants. Figures below include the bounties collected.

1st of 104 Entrants!
It's less than a week now before I go and visit my family over in the UK so I'll be trying to jam in as much poker as I can this week.

Until next time....Good Luck at the Tables!

WSOP Update....

Unfortunately, Sam Holden, crashed out of the WSOP Main Event in 55th place but still takes home a nice pay cheque of $128,384 to soften the blow!

Four Cashes & A Crash!

The last week has seen me cash 4 times and it could have been 5 if the Merge network hadn't crashed while I was on the final table of a satellite for the $109 tourney ticket. I did get refunded though and received a cash amount according to my position in the tournament. So, not including that tournament, my results for the week for MTT's are as follows:-
  • Cashed in 2 out of 10 tournaments
  • Cashed in 2 out of 4 satellites
I also played several Single-Table Sit & Go's which I made a small profit from. All in all, I'm satisfied with the way I played this week but there's always room for improvement. Obviously, I would like to increase the volume of games I play and I will endeavor to do this but I can only dedicate 3-4 nights per week to poker.

WSOP

Sam Holden
At the time of writing this, there is only one Brit left in the World Series Of Poker (WSOP) Main Event and that is Sam Holden. After his 9th place finish last year he is one of 97 remaining entrants left in the tournament from a starting field of 6,598. The winner will receive the WSOP Main Event Bracelet and a cool $8.5 million in prize money. Good luck Sam and bring that bracelet home to blighty!







Until next time....Good Luck at the Tables!

Nice One!

Told you it wouldn't be long before my next post ;-)

Entered a satellite tourney on friday for $5 and won a $109 tourney ticket. Used the ticket for an MTT last night and managed to cash in 8th place out of 122 entrants for $390 :-)

It's been way too long....

I've been neglecting my blog for the last two months. This is partly due to the fact that I've been running bad (a mixture of playing bad and variance) and I didn't want to update this blog showing my poor results. Also, the amount of volume I've been able to put in has been pretty thin over this time for one thing and another. Since my last blog I've joined pocketfives.com - a poker forum and ranking site. Hopefully, this will help me to improve my game as I will be able to get some advice from more experienced poker players. I've also started playing a bit more on the Merge network and less on PokerStars as I have a good rakeback deal on Merge and I want to clear my initial deposit bonus.

New goal added:-
  • Enter more satelite tournaments with the aim to win tickets for the bigger tournaments with bigger prize money :-)
FOUR!
I managed to get 9 holes of golf in last month too through the golf society at work. I was pleased with my game (considering I hadn't played for about a year) and the team I was in binked a second place prize! Will need to fit another 5 golf outings in if I'm to reach my goal for the year though.

I will keep you posted of my progress and maybe I'll include a screenshot of a tournament win or two. Hopefully you won't have too long to wait for my next post!

Until next time....Good Luck at the Tables!
