I needed somewhere to post some amusing hands. ;) Also, you can talk about mtt structure, strategy, a little bbv here. I think that's what happens in these threads. :smile: Anyway, good luck this month. I decided cash games are too frustrating for me recently and am starting to play more mtts.

I have started off okay in November. I made it deep in the 15k last night - finished 26 out of 2583. On my last hand I had QQ and got called by AK and an A flopped. Overall I think I played well - soooo close to the big bucks lol.

It is nice to start the month out ahead for a change.

Reposting my result in here since this thread was just made.
Already accomplished one of my goals for November, which was to make a final table on a 2.20 MTT. December I will have to win one!!!

I made a deep run yesterday on the 109$ Turbo Hondo finishing 25 of 232 being very short stack for more than an hour.:p

Then double up with QQ just before bubble.:)

I'm still unsatisfied with the hand I've been busted with (I posted it in the Tournament analysis forum but didn't show results yet) : I had TT with a M of 5 but was in the first 5 of the tournament. Even if it sounds weak I definitely should have limped it and folded to any raise of the 2 guys who had me covered but obviously called every short stack at the table.
I guess that's the difference between the 100's $ profit for the 25th place and the 6K for the win. :eek:

Shall try to play one 26 to 55$ tournament every weekday : today I've just register in the 55$ 12500 Guaranteed so wish me luck ! ;)

well ITM again on 55$ 12500 Guaranteed and once again a lot of frustration.:(

this time I've been chip leader soon on tournament and always in top 15-20 during the first 2h30mn.
Then a silly attempt to steal on blinds battle against AA cost me half of my stack.
Still pass the bubble and been busted on 35th with AQ against QT :rolleyes:

Well at least my MTT game seems OK but still have to avoid those pre or post bubble mistakes that avoid me to go deeper.

At least soomeone made a deep run on a MTT those late days WTG Errant ;)

After last months dreadfull finish I am trying to get back in the saddle.

First 4 days: Sun-small gain, Mon-small loss, Tue-gain, Wed-gain.
This month is looking good, as there is a lot to look forward to.
I have qualified to the Swedish online championships at the end of this month, and I have managed to qualify to two 10k freerolls in the FTOPS challenge.
(Doing well in CC tourneys help too, thats basicly what saved me last month.)

I was horribly streaky last month and definitely ended up in the red. For instance: I would re-raise with K's pre and the guy folded. I win the hand against another, everyone saw what I had. Then a few orbits later the same guy raises pre, I re-raise again, and for some reason he decides I have nothing this time and pushes with 8s all-in preflop and flops trips. I am the ultimate cooler in $2 and $3 donkaments. If I manage to make a decent sized stack or even make the money and am sitting decently, shit flies every damn time. It never ceases to amaze me what mediocre cards people call me with and somehow come from behind a good majority of the time. 2 outs? Sure, put a ten on the river to crack my pocket Q's. It goes on and on. If I got lucky earlier, then I'm bound to be crapped on sooner or later by someone playing/calling with garbage/a lesser hand. I'm going to look-up the month's knockout hands in the DB and see if this is unreal. It often crosses my mind, since I never truly deposited, I get the shaft more often than not. The doom-switch can kiss my priss.

This one helped my bankroll

stars had an experimental game .I thought i entered a regular 3.00 MTT

It was a 4 player table MTT .

I had to change my hat real quick and become a LAG (unusual for me)
This tourney would suit the aggros because most of the peeps had no idea how to play it. I got lucky and finished 2nd.

Means next Month(December) I can play some 10$ MTTS

Start of the month on MTTs has been good for me : 2 cashes on 55 and 109$ buy-in :) and bubbles on each 26 and 55$ I played which means my game is there and I'm playing at a level I master.
Just a few coin-flips going on the good side or avoid one or 2 bad plays and that should be a profitable month ;)

I've also managed to win a 256$ ticket to FTOPS event 8 today but I unregistered as I couldn't play.

Tomorrow I'll begin the championship of my French forum : 24 events till May with the first 9 going to wsop 2010 :eek:
Already had a warm-up and finished ITM :cool:
So hopefully my A game will stick with me till May and I can managed to do something good there ;)

Ive been playing the 90 man Full tilt Deep stacked turbo sitngos lately and im really loving the way they are going. The structure allows you to wait for a decent hand before getting it all in but when you reach the final table almost everyone has about 10 or 15 bbs so you need to know how to shove it in there with the best of them. Ive played about 10, won one, third in one and sixth in another...

Gratz Labman & Debi!

I haven't done well this month. I haven't played either without non stop distractions and I will finally get a chance to do it starting in December, on Sundays. So I am not playing much this month, I'll end up losing my silver star which sucks but hopefully I can get it back in December.

After my big wins at the casino whilst on holidays i got back and decided to have a crack at the big doubles on FT $60+15 A . I got in A but missed B lol. There were 200 starters with 27 cashing.

I finished 5th for $870.

Last hand (JJ) i was short stack UTG raised i reraised allin he called AQ and hit his A on the flop. But a very nice ROI on the trny anyway :)

This is my November so far in MTTs. I think I should stick to the bigger fields.
