"People would be surprised to know how much I learned about prayer from playing poker" - Mary Austin
alrighty so I am an hour in to my first of seven tournaments. and doing ok been up and down a bit from the 3k starting stack had a couple nice hands get drawn out on and such but this is gonna be a long one for sure.
1237th out of 2213 with 3155 in chips and blinds still low (30/60-5)
still and hour of late reg left and my tournament just popped up so thats it for now mates!
------------ well that did not go as hoped, played a pair of 6s against a guy i know to be very lose who called me all way with 89 and pair of 8s two overs for a good chunk of my stack bold of him dumb of me. my last hand i had played badly but it always really peaves me of to lose win its like K-10 vs Q-10 it seems to happen alot, i did play that last hand bad but was quite short stacked by then. will hope to do better on my next tournament for sure. they say its unlucky to win the first one anyways might as well get the busto out of the waynow
------------ Plan for tomorow morning is two bang off the 15 min one at 9:30 and the 30 min one at 11 will probably post another update around 12. hopefully the cards will be more willing as well as i can keep on my A game. good night mobsters!

Hey man, sucks you went out so early, Maybe you should take some time off and clear the mind, I am saying this because I watched you play the Bigger 3,30 and to be honest as a fellow mobster trying to give you edvice I feel like you playd poorly to say the least, goodluck in the rest of your stakes and I hope you can make a final table CHEERS

Good morning mobsters one and all! hope everyone is having a wonderful day thus far, i know i am in good spirits and just about 5 mins into my first tournament of today.
$3.30(big surprise there ) thirty minutte timed tournament with a total prize pool of:$3189.00
these are a lot of fun and i do quite well at the timed style. going well so far sitting with a 3k stack and second level of blinds. will report back with my finish. cheers mates have a glorious day!
------------ made a boo boo the thirty minute is later this is a fifteen minute and five minutes to go lol
------------ PMSL, well tourny 2 is over now and yes i did cash but pretty well for my buy in back ($4.46) was card dead glad i made it through most interesting hands where pocket cowboys which i raised no callers and a BB where my second pair shove (limped pre) got a call from an odd hand no real draw at all as well as no pair not even two overs?!?!? was odd he insta calls and im like oh s**t to top it off he had less so he was out too. my guess is he had to go but i mean its a 15 min tournament lmfao if you can't put aside the 15 mins why play in the first place?
i consider this one still open will probably use 3.30 of the 4.46 to play another 15min later on in the week.
thats all folks!

These sort of blogs are great to read. The highs and lows of poker are always great to read about.The stories always ring true and i can adhere to some of the bad beats and also some of the suck outs on the river. We've all been through it
