First Post

I was really excited about playing on Sunday, which was the first time I had been really excited in a long time. PokerStars was running a $10/100K guarantee. It actually turned out to be a 150K prize pool with first place getting almost 19k. Wow that is nice and all for $10. So my plan was to play in a quite a few tourneys and I was planning on having a big day. Unfortunately it didn't work out. I can't seem to get over the hump in the tourneys. I either play really bad or I get unlucky at terrible spots. I don't even remember what a final table looks like. I got really attached to some hands in spots that I should have laid them down. I need to quit thinking that people are bluffing me all the time.

I played in 13 tourneys and cashed 4 times and none of any significance...blah! Here are the break downs-

Full Tilt:535 out of 540 - I should never go out this early in a tourney w/ a low pp. I think this set the tone for the day.

Full Tilt:24 out of 90

Stars: 7071 out of 15000. This was the 100k guar. It was the largest online tournament field ever.

Absolute:282 out of 504

Absolute: 465 out of 738

Stars: 392 out of 779

Full Tilt: 32 out of 45

Full Tilt: 42 out of 555. (Cashed)

Absolute: 11out of 29

Full Tilt: 27 out of 208 (Cashed)

Absolute: 29 out of 481 (Cashed)

Stars: 223 out of 1775 (Cashed)

Stars: 310 out of 360.

So the night at least ended better than it started with me cashing in 4 of the last 6 tourneys.

So I was -$30.77 in tourneys.

I did also end up playing a little bit of cash games. I was +$20.66. So all in all not a super horrible day, but definitely some major room for improvement.

-$30.77 tourneys
+$20.66 cash

Total for day -$10.11
