After a long struggle I seem to be seeing some results. I have cashed in about 7 of my last 10 sit and goes
Also took 3rd in a Limit turney for 40$ then took 6 out of 155 in a no limit turney for 90$
Man feels good that my hard work on improving my game is paying off
Im on a heater on party poker. Last night I chopped 3 way in a 20$ turny and took down the winners share of 240.
And tonight I came 2nd in the 3000$ gaurantee for 555$. This is the most I have won playing online and this score puts me in the black on party poker. I am now a profitable player (at least for the moment lol)
Perhaps all the studying I do and blog reading is paying off for me
Live Blog as I play the 7K gaurantee on Party Poker.

I have decided to not play multi table turnys anymore. I am not cashing enough to make it profitable. From Now on I am going to grind it out on single table sit and goes. I feel i can earn a great return on my investment.
I will update my blog after a set of 5 sit and goes. I play usally low stakes on Party poker under name mattrteed. Check me out if u like., Tips and Suggestions are always appreciated. I feel this is the way to go for me now as I strive to slowly build by BR instead of hoping for that one big score
I started yesterday down to 4$ on my initial deposit on stars of 25$
I decided to play a 2.20$ turny with over 2300 people in it.
I played ok and came in about 221th place. I managed to win 4.60$ in this one which was a start towards my comeback
I then entered a 1$ turny with over 4500 people paid and top 900 got paid. I came 320 and made 3.17
my final one of the day was a 180 person 2.20$ sit and go with top 18 being paid. I finally made a final table and came 7th for a win of 13$
so I am on a bit of a roll right now and can hopefully keep it going
Playing a 2.20$ turny on stars last night 180 people and top 18 got paid
we are down to 17 players and I have about 9 big blinds left
I get AQ of clubs I shove preflop
everyone folds except this one person who A of hearts and 8 of spades
of course the flop goes heart heart heart heart to give him the flush.
Oh well I guess thats why the best hand doesnt always win
I did cash for $4.32 but was playing well and thought I might be able to take it down
I finally cashed in a stars Turny. Played a 4.40$ 180 sit and go and managed to come 14th for a 8.46$ prize
some key hands were
Pocket aces for me against queens and ace queen which I managed to triple up my stack
flopped the nut flush and got paid again
also had pocket 8s that hit a set on the flop ended up being a full house which won me and 11 000% chip pot
Prob the key hand was when I was down to about 4000 chips and I went all in with pocket 4s and won a race against AQ
this hand gave me enough chips to coast into the money
I got beat out when I went all in with A5 clubs and 2 Clubs hit the flop. I had gotten called by ace king and couldnt catch the other club
Oh well I am just happy to discover that it is possible to cash on pokerstars.
I lost another 25$ on stars over the past week.
I seem never to win a race
I was playing just sit and gos 3.40$
also played a couple of tournaments 2000$ gaurantee
one thing I dont like on this site is the number of players per tournament.
I am not a big fan of a 2$ tournament having 5000$ people in them.
I am thinking of switching back to full tilt.
What does everyone else think? Is full tilt better then stars for you or am I just playing wrong events?
Hello there. so last night I decided to play on Stars which I usally dont do. I usally play on FTP.
So I deposited 25$ and decided to try it out.
I first played a 3.40$ sit and go and came 8th out of 10
I then lost 5$ on the cash tables when AQs ran into Ace King.
I then played a huge 2.20$ turny and came 1600 out of 2400.
I dont know how much I like the site there though but I will try some more small sit and gos tonight and slowly build my bankroll through sit and gos hopefully. Wish me luck
