Once again Sunday became a real cooler with not a single cash in 5 larger tournaments, resulting in a 700$ loss after losing an alin with KK against QQ, AA against T4 (!!!) after hitting trips on flop and betting all the way and so on:-/ And thats about what I’ll tell you about that Sunday - lets forget it and talk about Saturday instead:-)

Saturday came a little breakthrough in my new strategy with playin’ more tournaments instead of solely cashgame. The program conceeded of 3 tournaments with a buyin of $50-£50, and was I surprised of the difference in opposition in relation to the more expensive tournaments. After 4-5 hours of play I saw myself hitting 2 Final Tables almost at the same time.

Here you can see the status at the beginning of the Final Table in the £50 tournament at Classic Poker:

I tried something new in order to try and give you a litlle more insight in my poker game - hope you like it:

Final Table 1 - 5 pl. left

Unfortunately, the free program I use (Jing Project), doesn’t allow me to capture more than 5 minutes at a time.

But here we go with 5 minutes of Heads Up for $3500 as you can see from this payout table:

And the video:

Final Table 1 - HU

Unfortunately my opponent had a substantial chip lead as we came HU, I never managed to close in on him and I was Gameover soon after the ending of the video. Comments on my HU play are more than welcome, so drop me a line or two!

I managed to capture a little from the other tournament too, which was, as you might notice a very close affair :

Final Table 2 - Part I

Final Table 2 - Part II

Unfortunately I didnt capture my exit, but I finished in 5th place for a win of £600 - all in all a profitable night, though it was bitter not to take one of them down.

I hope you will give me some response on new feature with small videos from the tournaments…

A real poker player has a rakeback deal - So, go get the very same sickening great rakeback deal as I have right here!

    Hi

    I would definately have pushed the J7 hand in the final table 1 hu (3 min in the video) and the two Q high hands where u thought about pushing. He may call but I’m sure that u have decent equity since he is raising almost any hand. And u have to make a stand somehow. But OK - ure the tournament expert so maybe u know best….

    HI HIversen

    Thanks for the commenting - let there be more!

    I had feeling I wasn’t playing aggressive enough, and I guess the fact that I never caught momentum kept me in the way too tight playing style.

    PS. I thinnk its too early to call me tournament expert:-)

    I agree…in heads up you gotta be more aggressive when you get decent hands.

    It’s tough though when hes got you covered so badly like that.
