9/26/07 Tournaments

Yay! Finally won something. Only played 5 tournaments 2 at 10am and 3 at 11pm:

$24 FTP - 214/381
$24 FTP - 173/587 this was 6-max. I did alright in the beggining but I don't think my 6-handed game is very good for long periods of time when it not on the FT with $$ involved. I just don't pay attention enough and then I either get too aggressive or too passive.
$30 PS - 124/411 This sucked I got KK vs 88 AI PF and lost to cripple me. Other than that I played well.
$10 FTP - 1/213 Yep I took it down. 3-handed lasted forever (maybe an hour) I had a nice chip lead from about 12 left forward. The key hand was when I won AJo vs AKo vs A7o for about 1/3 of my stack against 2 shorties when there were ~16 left. Last hand was A6o vs K9o - I min-raised OTB he 3xed I pushed he called. Comparably the HU match took no time - maybe 10 hands.
$8r PS - 74/880 I woulda much rather won this this morning, but alas it wasn't meant to be. I lost with AA vs A8s for 90% of my stack (I was top 15 at the time).

I'm going to start color coding my tournament results.
Green = Win
Blue = FT
Red = Cash

I'm glad I got pokerstove. Though I've been playing for like 3 years now I hadn't gotten it cause I didn't see the point, but it's helpful in analyzing certain situations. Here's one that I played in the $8r:

I wasn't sure if the call here is good after I made it. So I did a pokerstove on it and I'm a 51% favorite if his range is AK, JJ+. It's not even a terrible call if he only has JJ+ since it's pretty much even money.

Good day I guess.

Total today: $468.21
Total since blog started: ($1097.29)

Oh yeah and the deal with 'MT' is ending in 3 days I'll hammer out a new agreement with him. He's a good player just has a bit more to learn, fast learner also. I think I'll only make $150 or something from staking him for the last 3 months which isn't as high as I was hoping, but it's better than losing.
