Me neither, I tend to stick to 10/20/30 man tournaments as I always do quite well in them and they seem to suit my playing style. Will be moving on to bigger MTTs as soon as I build my bankroll up a bit more though, probably when I get back from Florida though.

Well done though MB, 1st out of that many players is always a hard thing to do

My BR was low and you get all these points from PKR which you can use to buy stuff (I already have the stuff I want) or use in freerolls, so I thought I'd have a punt. Helped out on the payroll side of things

why "move up" you just increase variance, turbo 6 man SNGs suit me so that's what I play, save the large field poker for live games where I don't have other distractions

Two more wins in the last week, Wednesday 3rd out of 208 in a Terminator Speed Tourney for $70 and today 2nd in a Omaha Regular Tourney of 29 players for $37.

My problem is that despite having built a $150 payroll I'm not happy about putting in more than $5 entry fee which restricts my win levels, I really should move up but I'm quite happy at the moment

Not bad really

What I'm pleased about though is having got to grips with Omaha so quickly, what I need to so now is to learn Ohama HiLo, my end game also needs some work as I am in the money a lot but not winning the Tourneys as often as I would like

What a day! I've played about 6 games of 6 man speed $3 and $5 entry and won 4 of them, boosted my BR by $45 today which might not seem much but its not bad considering the level I play at

Dead chuffed, although I did lose about $8 playing Omaha

This is in no way an endorsement of gambling but if anyone wants to sign up to PKR I have a code which can get you $50, although you do have to make an initial deposit and play a bit to get it back.

Get in, 4 more $3 table wins today and a Omaha cash win taking $10 away from a $1.60 stake

Davey_Pitch · 26-07-2009, 19:44

Nicely done MB. I had a bad day, 3 tournaments, 3 exits before the cash, each time losing when I was a pre-flop favourite. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day
