Test Run

Posted by MaxPen on January 27, 2006

I decided to take a little test run 4 tabling SNG’s tonight. Most I had ever done was 2 at a time, so I gave 4 a shot. I took a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and a 5th. Not bad I guess. I’m just running the $5.50’s on Stars, so nothing big.

One the 2nd and 3rd place finishes, I was short stacked when it got to the money, by quite a bit. The one I took 2nd in, the second big stack tangled with the big stack on a pretty questionable hand if you ask me. He had me outchipped by 3x and could have picked a better spot to push. After that, I had about $1500 left and the blinds were 200/400 with a 25 ante. He min raised from the button and I had QJ and pushed. I was just hoping I had live cards and I did, he flipped over T8s and I felt good. Too bad he spiked an 8 and took it down. I still have a lot of work to do when it comes to tournament play.

Another bad day at 6-max. Looking over my last 2,000 hands, I’m not sure I am playing that bad to be honest. I think it might be more bad cards then anything. Right now, AA, QQ, AKs, AKo are all losers in the past 2,000 hands. I had AA twice in the BB today and it was folded to me both times, ugh.

I made an inquiry about a coach on 2+2 and am waiting to hear back from him. If I’m going to get serious I don’t mind spending the money, and he is much cheaper then other coaches I checked out. I did some searches and read some of his posts on 2+2 and liked what I read, so I decided to set something up. Hopefully I will hear back tomorrow.
