Wow, I'm hitting sets. Winning flips, Aces and Kings holding up, and I'm looking to cash in my second tourney!!

Best hand was pocket 10s, all in and called by a shorter stack with AQ suited.

Flop = AA6

Turn = 10

River = 3

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I love it!

Had Aces 4 times in 1 tourney.

Ripping this sh*t apart.

I have KQ

Flop - KKJ

Other player all in -

Call

Flips over AJ

WOOOOO

I'm guaranteed $37.50, with possibly $175.

Not bad for my first tourney.

Well, if you mean cash games by big games, then no.

I'm strictly a tourney/sng player. If extremely bored I may donk a few chips in a ring game.

Anway, I've made $5 profit out of 4 s'n'gs. So far so good.

I noticed the difference straight away too. Nice one TAP.

There will be swings and roundabouts but unlike fulltilt, the best hand holds up occasionally.

Still breaking even, but copping a few bad beats. Not as bad as tilt, but enough. However I can handle it.

Up for some Should start playing the 3.25 6 man sngs. Just found them, and jeez their easy to own.

Wow, just got lucky with Jacks vs Kings first hand.

Flopped a full house Js full of 2s and held. Phew.

DoNs are good bankroll builders, it's probably the most low variance game there. But in saying that it doesn't really improve your game.

Dont get too excited Tigers are Pro. Everything does seem to go your way when you first start. Wait a while and see how it goes...I mean good luck to ya, but exercise caution!

As for Turbos, ugh, i hate turbo tourneys. They're such luck fests, a total bore.

I hope he's not too fast, just being up your alley sounds painful enough as it is.

I crashed and burned in the nightly $70K today. Played terribly. Could have been partly because I was on tilt - ran deep in two other tourneys but copped some very ordinary beats when deepish into the cash (K-K cracked by 3-3 all in pre-flop and A-K cracked by A-J all-in pre when he rivered a straight).

So of course I donked my chips away in the $70k and wasted my $55.

I'm on a mini roll at stars at the moment, I've cashed in 15 of my last 30 tourneys/sngs. 0/2 45 sng, 2/2 90 sng, 13/25 360 sng, 0/1 mtt,

All small cashes unfortunately but still cashes. I've dried up in the 45 man SnGs for some reason, I just keep getting donked. Like yesterday, dealt KK, raise to 300 (to isolate someone), one caller for 1/2 his chips, nothing flop but 2 clubs, he pushes all in and turns over J/3 of clubs. You know the rest...

And, I played a $1 tourney, out early... my A/A beaten by Q/6... lol

I've hit a shockig run of form.

Soo many bad beats, esp in cash games have knocked me down to 50.

A high flush got beat by straight flush for $40. That killed me.

Bloke I work with has done the same, he put $150 in and is down to $50 after getting hit hard in cash games at Stars.

I play them occasionally but I only put a buck up and if I hit $1.50 at any time, I leave.

That would have been nice. lol

I had a great run early last week, cashing in 50% of 30 tourneys... but I've hit the wall, having a shocking run at the moment. Had them before and played through them, I'll do the same this time. Luckily my bankroll management allows for this.
