Its been slow this month in MTTs - i missed the first 10 days or so of the month so I had a late start....Anyways I had gone a nice stretch breaking even in MTTs - yes the variance sucks but I also feel my game needed some work....I think the biggest issue was not 3 betting enough - 3 betting is so key these days in poker, if you dont do it enough your missing out on alot of ev....Now im not just talking about 3 betting your premiums or 3 betting when your short, im talking about 3 betting with your weaker hands that still carry some value, and then just 3 bet bluffing to people who are opening too wide...its tough to do this without commiting yourself when your under 30 bb, but with stacks over 40 bbs its so key these days to be a good winner....Its so effective as well in the 109s and the mid stake tournaments where people will never 4 bet light....Im going to work on making this more of a staple of my arsenal then it was in the past, and I think it'll be very beneficial.
I had some deep runs last night - 7th in the 40k stars, and 9th in the FTP 75k.....the stars I got nothing going and when CO opened I shoved KQ with 20bbs - he had AQ and held. The 75k I just lost AK to QQ for like 500k chips....tonight I went 2nd in the 30k KO which was dissapointing as I had the villan 10 to 1 in chips HU. I got him all in pre twice and he held. Then I had top pair when he had two pair, and the final blow was when I had top pair with a queen kicker to his overpair and couldnt hit. It sucked but oh well - I ran pretty good to get HU. On a sidenote I heard a great podcast on 2P2 featuring sheets - it was in regards to live tournament poker, staking, etc...definitely a good listen and great for someone who is considering going pro. Alot of kids my age and even younger are trying to make it pro and its really not that great of a road as people think it is. def a good listen.
anyways im off. ttyl guys
