I am still not running too well in tourneys. Played both Sunday Warmup and Sunday Mil (2.8 mil prize pool - jeez!) but busted out with about 2/3 of the way down since nothing was really going my way. Also busted out of the $109 tourney around 300th of 1400. 50k treated me a bit better. About 3,200 people started this Sunday, making it the biggest daily 50k I have ever seen. I managed to get down to about 50 people before busting out with 88 vs AQ. Pretty decent finish, but 50k payout don't really become significant until the final table, so I netted myself about $250. All right, but nothing to write home about.
I have bitched a lot about running bad in tourneys in my past few blog posts, but that was mostly because I had busted out with pretty silly beats, including a 2-outer with one card to come. Overall, my tourney results are pretty decent. Looking at my recent database, I have about 30 daily 50k tourneys, out of which I have a bunch of ITM finishes, 4 finishes where I had a realistic shot at the FT (usually finishing between 20th and 60th place) and one 5th finish, which netter me about 3.5k. Definitely not a bad sample.
Then I have some Sunday tourneys. The million tourneys have been treating me like shit, so the furthest I have gotten in those was 1st or 2nd payout level, which nets 1.5-2.5 buyins back. Sunday Warmup, on the other hand, has been a lot better. Within 8 of them played, I had 1 finish around 100th and one 45th, where I busted with TT vs A8 (asdf!!, right?). So, despite some frustrating beats I took, the overall tourney results have not been bad, and I definitely feel that I have the skill to do well in these large tournaments. So just need to play some more of them. The fact that almost all my tourney entries come from 5,400 FPP Sunday million satellites makes my ROI that much higher, which is something that definitely helps the bottom line.
All in all, the situation is quite a bit better than my recent posts have made it seem, but I am as prone to bitching about my beats as the next guy. So just going to keep playing. Tourneys make a really nice supplement to ring games.
