Tournaments…

October 29 2013 ,
by Matthew J-B

I’ve decided to start trying to have semi-regular sessions whereby I target the small buy-in tournaments. I don’t play too many at once, something like up to six and just try to really focus on playing well. Too often in the past I haven’t given tournaments the time of day and have viewed them as ‘just a bit of fun’ on the side but I want to try to start a fresh with these and pride myself on never giving up and fighting to cash or final table or win it outright, whatever the target is for what situation I’m in.

Listed by session, here are my results so far…

 

[Time of day / Buy-in / Tournament title / Cash or not]

1. 9:30 / $22 / 6-Max = No cash

2. 9:30 / $2.20 / (The Hot) = No cash

3. 9:45 / $8.80 / 6-Max = Cashed for $20.00

4. 10:00 / $33 / $5K GTD = Cashed for £263.25

5. 10:15 / $8.80 / $3K GTD = No cash

6. 11:00 / $33 / (The Big) = No cash

  • SESSION RESULT = $175.45

 

14/09/2013

1. 8:30 / $16.50 / (The Big) = No cash

2. 8:45 / $27.50 / $2.5K GTD = Cashed for $582.10

3. 9:30 / $22 / 6-Max = No Cash

  • SESSION RESULT = $513.90

 

16/09/2013

3. 12:00 / £1.10 / $1.5K GTD = No cash

  • SESSION RESULT = $363.18

 

23/09/2013

1. 10:15 / $8.80 / $3K GTD = No cash

2. 10:45 / $4.40 / 4-Max = No cash

3. 11:00 / $33 / (The Big) = No cash

4. 11:00 / $1.10 / $2K GTD = No cash

  • SESSION RESULT = -($47.30)

 

15/10/2013

1. 8:30 / $16.50 / (The Big) = Cashed for $69.31

2. 9:00 / $3.30 / $2K GTD = Cashed for $5.88

3. 9:30 / $2.20 / (The Hot) = No cash

4. 10:15 / $8.80 / $3K GTD = No cash

5. 11:00 / $33 / (The Big) = No cash

6. 11:00 / $1.10 / $2K GTD = No cash

  • SESSION RESULT = $10.29

 

19/10/2013

1. 8:30 / $16.50 / (The Big) = No cash

2. 9:00 / $3.30 / $2K GTD = Cashed for $5.39

3. 9:30 / $2.20 / (The Hot) = No cash

4. 10:15 / $8.80 / $3K GTD = No cash

5. 11:00 / $33 / (The Big) = Cashed for $50.81

6. 11:00 / $1.10 / $2K GTD = No cash

  • SESSION RESULT = -($8.70)

 

20/10/2013

1. 8:30 / $16.50 / (The Biggest) = Cashed for $38.95

2. 9:30 / $2.20 / (The Hottest) = Cashed for $7.17

3. 11:00 / $33 / (The Biggest) = No cash

4. 11:30 / $3.30 / (The Hotter) = No cash

  • SESSION RESULT = -($8.80)

 

Perhaps going forward I will be a bit clearer on my note taking to include field size / position finished etc. If you play these you will know that the bigger guarantees or the ones I’ve put in brackets and PokerStars call ‘The Hot’ or ‘The Big’ for example have much bigger field sizes, usually in the thousands, so to cash or final table in these ones is more pleasing.

I’m happy with the results so far though but happy with my level of concentration the most.

Good luck at the tables! #runlikekiddo
