Good luck -love that $5 2R1A!

I won't be able to play many mtt's in the next few days. Have to get ready for Vegas and have a big party to go to Sat night.

I will have some live mtt's while in Vegas - hopefully about 8-12. Then will try to get some in the last half of the month online.

I also entered 6 MTT so far this month, in the money at 2 but both are the lowest payout, not enough to satisfied me with hours I spent on MTT :( what I can't believe is 2 times being a chip leader until second break and bad beats coming grrr...

You have to have a lot of patience if you are going to play mtt's. You can go months without a big cash. And you need to play a lot of them.

I played the Daily Dollar on FTP the other day. I got came 97th! :)
Had KK in my last hand and was up against 44. He hit his set on the flop, so I lost it, unfortunately.
I think I'll play it again today! :)

GL to all at the tables!

Regards!

dakota, I just read your blog about your big win at MTT, so inspiring to keep me trying. If I only have $80 bankroll, what MTT you suggest me to play and at what poker site? I am okay to back to PS at this time to try this :)

First 'big' cash in an MTT for Nov. Finished 17th/~2800 in a $2 1R1A for $47. Was really lucky to finish at this spot after I lost connection for 10 min and lost more than 3/4 of my stack. At one point, I was sitting at 50/50.

...I kinda 'cheated' though and did a late buy-in. Waited till the last min, bought in + rebuy + add-on = $12K stack and blinds at 60/120. Healthy stack and half the field gone...

pokerstars Game #52464468913: Tournament #329048035, $2.00+$0.20 USD Hold'em No Limit - Level XXXVIII (20000/40000) - 2010/11/10 1:50:29 PT [2010/11/10 4:50:29 ET]

Seat 1: drdaveson folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: MyLastNickle folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 3: abel127 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 4: (SIC)KT(SIC) (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 5: bigdgerald (big blind) showed [As Jh] and won (794352) with two pair, Aces and Jacks
Seat 6: gepgraphic11 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 7: TRM_SHRiMP showed [4d 4s] and lost with two pair, Sevens and Fours
Seat 8: voltastyllo folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 9: 86suited86 folded before Flop (didn't bet)

If I had won this hand, I would've bumped up to around 12th and...who knows.

This result, while 'good' per se, is pretty disappointing for me. Very Matt Affleck-like in the sense of finishing so close to the FT. I was heart-broken when I lost connection and saw my once 400K stack dwindled to just under 90K with 50 players left. (Was sitting around 25th before the DC). Then I fight my way back up only to see another deep run cut short. Sure, I made an extra $20 for my efforts, but again, I find myself disappointed.

...Maybe I should start yelling 'One Time!!!' at crucial moments.

Doing the $3.30 R 60k Guaranteed on PS. First hour has been somewhat unreal. My normal first hour (rebuy period) goal is 10k'ish, which gives me a stack to work with entering second hour.

This time around was different. Copa Del Rey Real Madrid vs Real Murcia was on tv, so i was somewhat more passive than normal. After about half an hour i have worked my stack to about 5k when AA appears in my hand. End up winning to get stack to about 10k and happy as a pig in mud.

Two hands later, AA again. Stack raises to about 17k...

Another few hands later - you guessed it - AA again and several villians in Donate Chips mode.

To my opponents praise i have to say that the only remark have been: "again..?" After which he left the game.

After break i'm at 35k and quite comfortable for now. Waiting for some more AA's :)
