The last 2 days I played mostly large-field multi-table tournaments. I think I played 6 or 7 hours yesterday and just finished about 9 or 10 for today. I cashed in all the tournaments that I could actually play.
I woke up an hour early this morning and decided to take advantage of that and play an extra tournament. I made it through the first hour of the first tournament and had just started a second one when my cable connection suddenly went out. When I finally got back online, my stacks in both tournaments were so small from blinds that I had no choice but to go into push or fold mode. It only took a few hands to bust out of both with nothing.
In my final tournament yesterday, I managed to finish 26th out of 1779. A good finish I think, but also extremely frustrating since my previous best is 25th. Even if I’d just gotten 24th I’d at least feel like I could tell myself I have a new best.
In the same tournament today, I got taken out at 113 of 1675. Very frustrated again. But I feel my game is really getting better with each try, and a final table and a win can’t be too far off.
I didn’t play as many SNG games as I usually do because I was really concentrating on the MTTs. I am, so far, maintaining a 44% in-the-money rate and 16.9% ROI on those. My two biggest goals right now are the MTT win, and getting good enough to handle more tables simultaneously for the SNGs.
May the fish be with you…
