In the zone

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Talking with a buddy the other night about those times when you are just in the zone and making good calls, bets and moves. Everything is going right and you are winning all the races.

He was sitting cash just to kill some time before going out and ended up not leaving for 4 hours and was up a staggering 12 buyins by the time the dust settled.

Maybe that inspired me, or maybe I’ve just hit a nice run of cards but in my last 3 sessions it seems as if I can see the cards and I’m always holding the right ones.

I have stayed away form cash games for a while as I just played too weak and was concentrating on tournaments instead, but with the Take 2 promo on at Full Tilt I really couldn’t pass up the chance to get some bonus cash and a some extra Full Tilt Points. Of course you won’t see me spending them on a jersey like Nice Guy Eddie.

My game started out pretty bad and the bonuses I was getting was the only thing keeping me even in the game but with practice everyone gets better and my game has I think.

Last 3 sessions have been great up a collective 20 buyins on some pretty sweet play with limited hands really. Slow playing sets and boats and letting guys bluff off their chips on flush draws drawing dead, holding Kings and Ace when guys overplay their 88 or KT, ah it’s magic when it happens.

Keep up the good play and I might be able to make a move up one of these days, would certainly like to be able to get to a point where I could start making some withdrawls instead of just trying to build it up. *fingers crossed*

Full Tilt: Take 2

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

I’ve been a tourney player for quite some time now.

Truth is I haven’t been agressive enough to play the cash games as of late given the bankroll requirements and the game has passed me by. Maybe I can get it up there and take another crack at it in the future but I am actually enjoying the tourney game as of late.

Have been getting decent results and almost alwasy getting my money in good and being able to control the buyin really helps me feel more confident in making the plays I should.

Placed 17th in a 380 person field the other night and have been going fairly deep in pretty much any tourney I play in.

But.

For building a bankroll I can’t pass up playing the cash games in the “Take 2″ promotion on at Full Tilt Poker right now.

You need to sign up for it and follow the rules to get paid, but for a low limit schmuck like me it is a great chance to pad the bankroll and score some Full Tilt points as long as I can at least stay flush in the the cahs games. So far I’m a little ahead with the first bonus coming shortly.
