A very good finish with so many entrants. And you just keep adding to that bankroll of yours whatever the prize is Another good finish will follow soon. Pretty sure about it with the amount of games you are playing and your performance in general Good luck.
------------ ouch just ran KQ into Aces and knew I should've folded preflop. Hit top pair on flop and couldn't relinquish. Still Have some chips but no where near as close to top of field.
------------ Just cashed so more than doubled my buy-in of 2.20$ now gtd 4.76$
Good day so far but looking better now that i doubled up
------------ Damn out in 78th out of 1348 runners for 8.74$ for more than 6.50$ in profits.
Knocked out by hitting straight on river against flush. Probably not a great play on my part. Didnt really notice the flush to be honest.
Another cah another profit, can't really complain I guess.
i think I'll take a break now and come back later tonight. Cool off for a bit.

O too bad, anyway always cool you keep us informed, this forum is actually meant to discuss poker topics, so that is very good that you contribute with poker game stories. Most people tend to forgot this, me myself am also guilty of this.
It is a good thing you take a break, because losing focus by whatever reason is a killer for your bankroll. wish you the best, keep us informed
Well, 78th out of 1348 runners is a great result. 6,50 profit isn't huge but for a tournament player it's all about the long term return on investment! Sucks to go out so close to the final table but hey 78 players is still a lot, the game was just starting
I wish you good luck in your future tournaments! and have fun

well thanks for asking the irish dude, actually i am on a fantastic run lately, to be precise right from the moment my crappy pc couldn't handle the random pokerstars update, and then later our politics banned all poker sites except one crappy poker room with 100 players most at peak times. this epic run of mine basically boils down to me not losing any money at/under the poker tables which is something unheard of.

I enjoy the pace of Hyper-turbos and my brain is much better suited to the quick decisions and not over analyzing things too much. I don't really use much Math that much either and really play a feeling or instinct game. If I think I have it I'll go with it. If I don't I'll usually let it go. Pretty simple.
Thanks for comments guys and dolls I'll be back on the tables tomorrow with some stories for ya. Took the day off completely and have enjoyed every second of it.

Later y'all
Yeah, hypers and turbos are easier to play for me too. I mean I like the deep thinking aspect of normal tournaments but the "rough maths" approach is better for me in general.
At the end of the day poker is mathematics but it's also psychology. If you think you have it, then of course you have to go with what you think. Because no one else will...
