No More Live Tournaments...for now

Going to a casino every day to play 2-4 holdem is tough. It is a grind!!!! So, when I play a tournament and lose $60 very fast, it is very discouraging to keep doing the grind. I told myself that I would not play anymore until my BR was bigger, but the game broke today for an hour due to the tourney. So I again decided to play. I again finished out of the money in 15th place losing my big hand with a pair of Aces and a low kicker.



Again, the loss screwed my brain and made me feel very discouraged. Lucky for me, I was able to get right back in the 2-4 game and win pots. I ended up making $130 from poker, $50 in promotions, $14 in free slot play, $2 in the casino points, and loss $60 from the tourney. The total amount made was $136.



Full Tilt Beginning balance - $197.80

$6.50 Omaha Hi/Low PL SNG - Heads Up

Looking at many of the interenet poker pros stats, I noticed that many of them played and made huge profits from heads up tourneys. So, I decided to give it a try. I end up spending half of the tourney reading my opponent and the other half kicking his butt. I won and received $12.

$6.50 Omaha Hi/Low SNG - Heads UP

The guy wanted a rematch and I beat him even faster then before. Winning another prize of $12.

$6.50 Horse FL SNG Matrix - 9 players

I hang for most of the tourney and got eliminated early in two of the game. The other two, I took 1st place and won 2nd in the overall matrix point system. I end up winning a prize of $8.64.

$3.30 NL Holdem MTT KO - 90 players

I end up knocking out three people and get real lucky to survive all the way to the final three and finished third for a prize of $33.

$3.30 Omaha Hi/Low PL MTT - 153 players

I controlled early, but took a bad beat a couple of times and ended up finishing 32nd and out of the money. They would have paid top 15 players.

Full Tilt Ending Balance - $214.34. Yippee, crossed over the $200 mark!
