ended up going out last night for a few drinks, not great prep for playing all day today but stuck to pints and didn't mix any drinks haha.
just looked at todays schedule of tournaments, kind of sucky imo. think 2 have already started, which i would have played in were they not so early. there is a good mix i suppose, but from my perspective i don't really like the look of them.
1- $5.50 6 max, don't really like playing 6 max when i grind because you have to concentrate too much on that table i find because the dynamics are so different from 9 max.
2- $3.30 turbo zoom. even more of an issue having to concentrate here. zoom tournaments take up so much of your concentration because every time you fold you are dealt another hand so can't watch other tables to see how people are playing.
3- $3.30 turbo heads up. sure this will be fun. if my tables are low enough i will play, but again it is v hard to play 16+ tables and play heads up. it is a turbo though so once it gets to push/ fold it won't be too hard so will probably still play just for this aspect.
4- stud hi/lo. don't have a clue how to play this hehe. could be fun?
5- $11 Sunday Storm. Deffoo playing this! will be even softer field than usual, as well as huge 1st prize. i am thinking edging close to $35/ $40k maybe? like this tournament.
6- $2.20 2x turbo. really like these 2x turbos. seem to do well in the $2.20 ones especially. playing this.
7- $5.50 6 max turbo. probably play this, getting towards the end of my schedule by now, usually stop regging around this time (11pm UK time) but will play it as it is a turbo. this will be the last one of the night.
8- $5.50 1r1a. this would probably be my fav/ 2nd fav tourny of the day. unfortunately it is at 3am, so can't play it unless i wanna stay up all night. nahhhhhhhhh haha. kinda disappointing, couldn't they switch this with stud hi/lo?
so yeah, that was just a break down from my perspective for todays tournies. imo they are v good and offer a great variety for anyone playing a couple of tables or just for fun 1 tabling and want to try something new out. but from my point of view these tounries today are bad for a Sunday schedule. as i said 75% of them will require me giving too much focus on that particular tournament. not sure if others agree here, but i find i try to stick to all 9 max if i am playing a lot of tournaments. and if it is 6 max then it has to be turbo. and don't try out any new games/ play heads up. not sure why there are 2 $5.50 6 max tourny's today either, seems strange (turbo or no turbo.)
anywayyyyy, good luck to anyone playing today, maybe our best chance of binking something is all learning stud hi/ lo in the next couple of hours haha. the fields in the others are going to be hugeeeeeee.
