A weekend of decent poker!

It's been a long time since I really focused on my game. This weekend I did just that. I tried my best to do well and for the most part I did, except(of course) in the big games. Yesterday was probably the best of the weekend with at least 3 satty tickets won(1 of which I blew almost immediately in the Sunday qtr mill), another weekly round 2 ticket won on Pokerstars and a final table in the $1500 gtd on the Merge network.

Though I did horrible in the big games, I can chalk that up to bad luck. When luck was on my side I did well. I played patiently and picked my spots well for the most part, and even though I did get blown out of the big games, it wasn't because I played bad, I just got unlucky, which seems to be my curse in the big games.

Well at least my confidence is up, my bankroll is doing ok again, and I'm on my way to getting back up there. The $100 casino win on FeltStars really helped lol. Here's hoping I can get some more of that luck stuff at the poker tables EH!

Decent night on the felts.

Well, last night didn't go as well as I had planned, but I did ok I think. After having made the top 200 4 times this week, I finally made 60th place in a round 1 freeroll on Pokerstars, earning a ticket to the $2000 round 2 freeroll.

It was a surprise to me that I'd win it in that game, since it was Stud hi-lo, which isn't one of my stronger games though I'm still quite good. I was running amazingly lucky though, leading a lot of the way, hitting many hands on 6th or 7th street, some of them even 2 or 3 outers. It was quite a run and it made feel like my luck returned. So now I just have to build on that.

I'm gonna try again tonight to win some in various freerolls. I hope I do more than win just a ticket tonight, though that wasn't soo bad lol. Good luck and see you on the felts EH!

Back to the Felts at FeltStars!

I haven't been blogging much this year, breaking my resolution, but I also haven't been playing much either. I've been a little, well a lot, down on my success lately. It seems every time I get down to a tight spot I make the right call and get sucked out on. That's poker, frustrating as it is, and I am now ready to get on with it.

So, tonight, I am starting to slowly rebuild and get back into the game. I am starting by playing a few games on FeltStars, freerolls mainly. I'm also going to play a few of the points buy-in freerolls on Pokerstars. The way I see it is I have to start somewhere, and if I can get back to my freeroll roots and build it up wisely, then maybe I can stick to some decent bankroll management and get back to some decent paying games.

Hopefully you all have been luckier than me and don't need to play freerolls, but if not look me up and say hi. Oh, and you can always find me and get in touch with me at Poker Nuts In Canada. Good luck all and see you on the felts EH!
