New Month and a new year. Happy New Year to you all, hopefully you've overcome the hangovers and are ready for a new fresh start! I'm planning on putting in some solid volume and grinding the 45s on Stars on the On Demand's on FTP at the beginning and end of the month.

Make sure you all check out the awesome promo to win a free copy of PT4, there are 2 being given away.

Good luck at the tables lads and ladies!

Just played a UK&ireland game on stars; finished for £27,00.

Good start in regards to new year & my MTT sgames.

Hoping to be well on my way to building a BR for the $7.00 SnG Hypers by the end of the month and putting in 5000 games this month fingers crossed.

GL all, hope you had a good new year.

Playing some MTT's on Carbon. up to $5.50 buy in. Playing on juicy stakes also, Same buy ins. Have been having mixed results on JS but I am still ahead on Carbon by alot. Not doing so hot today though.

May try my hand at those games on Black Chip starting the 13th.

I could actually how bad it would be if pokerstars was no longer available to moi. I just don't get into the "vibe" of playing on other sites.

I've used dragthebar once before; although I only ever watched one SNG, the rest were cash.

He's not, this is the tournament thread. Sadly I have no idea as to an answer. Maybe Tournament Edge would be worth a look?

I'll check out DC again and see what they've got. Cheers guys.

Are Hyper's kind of frowned upon in here, bit like CAP gaimes in the cash thread, seems like not many guys here play them except Ram?

Wouldn't say frowned upon, just think they don't happen to be played by many people.

Variance in Hypers is brutal and that turns off a lot of players.

The variance is really high which means you need a larger roll than most people here want to use. Atm I'm grinding mttsng's at a 50BI rule, but I wouldn't ever do that playing hypers.

happy new yr and gl to all of you
Im hoping for extended time off work and get some real grinding down (if family permits)
dunno why Ive never visited these monthly tourny threads much, will do more so this yr

i mainly play tournies on stars(and carbon) cuz sites like party,and titan never seem to have much going on in my peak hrs-so I mostly just play cash at them (4-10bi - which usually kills my BR-i play out of my limit lots)

my real goal is to up my BR on stars (and ftp) through stt and mtts
tho I have money my ROI is negetive, dunno how that works- (private games and freerolls maybe?)
Im doing quite well on carbons tournies and am going to try and get much more volume there as possible too
all my other sites with small rolls I just want to all or nothing it, barely play some of those sites anyways, and dont care much about the $$$ either...

so wishing you all luck this month (and yr)

and a congrats to stubbie on his win (Ive seen you win a few good games for sure- many more upcoming I know)
gonna go win some now!!!

sometimes I hate tournies
late night just a few games for me,
had 2 $3.30s- party and stars and a 5.50 on carbon going

carbon- go out near bubble when as bb, theres folds around sb who shoves AJ (bit larger stack- I was pretty shortstacked) and my AQ loses

party- deeped in, Im shorter stack (again - obvious something wrong with my game) and my 3bet shove to the 1 guy left results in my 88<22

stars- gonna look at that history, sure it sucked too

am just popping back in as I hope to make it a habit, focus more on my game, and hopefully learn how to post HHs properly, ask the right questions, and take my game up a notch

and a big hello and happy belated new yrs to you all, best O luck on your games,
and hopefully get to know you all better

hope im not ranting, sleep deprived now I think
