My first blog post....
been a lurker here for a few months. Just to give a little intro of my play: I play $5-$10 sit-n-gos at FullTilt for profit, cash in about 25% of my games. Started playing cash games but thats been a fail.
Anyways I decided to start a blog cause I won first big cash last night. I've been going to a poker room in Rockingham, New Hampshire every other weekend for the last couple months. Bout a month ago I played in my first local live tournament: $40 2 rebuys. Lost soon after my table broke up a couple hours in. After night I realized I had played foolish, folding hands I should have shoved and bluffing in spots I could have easily stealed.
So last night me and my buddies decided to head out again. We all signed up for the $40 rebuy again. There was a big turnout... about 50 players and 50ish rebuys. The poker room took 20% of the prize money... about $1000 is that common in poker rooms? I felt like they were robbing us.
Anyways after a good start I lost half my stack KK vs A-8 offsuit preflop and then bled chips for awhile til button put me all in with ace-rag and I doubled up with AQ. After that I played the best poker I've ever played. Stole lots of pots, made good folds, and got good value on my monsters. Entered final table 4th in chips. Won my first race of the night and stole lots of blinds at the bubble (6 got payed). When it came heads up I was down 4:1 but got lucky on a all-in and played great after that. Winning hand was Ac10s for a club flush. 2nd place was steamed cause he shoved all in with QJo and I called with A10. Felt really good when I realized I won 1st for $1000. Treated my buddies to dinner afterwards. Was a great memorable night.

| I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |

The weekends and late night for me and the easiest times to win these SnGs, honestly the people just go fucking wild, i even saw one guy pretty much sit out for the whole thing and get in the money. Youo should earn a fair dollar or two moving to this, i at least shall get $15 just for this promotion and hopefully for monday when it starts again, i shall do a lot better |
