This forum really moves.

Had hoped to get some games in tonight, but I'm feeling fairly tired and I'm trying to stick to my guns about not playing when tired as I make bad decisions.

I did play a bit last night, even after my long day (felt good). Fired up a set of 6 $22s. Wow, was a bit nervous realising I had $132 on the tables at one time, my roll was under $600 if I lost them all. Fortunately I didnt! ITM on 4 out of 6 with a first, a second and two thirds. I didnt feel I played that optimally, think I'm starting to call a bit loose when I have a stack. Still, meant I finished up for the night about $90 which tipped me into the $800s.

Today I got chatting to Kmind on msn (thanks man) and he was giving me advice on MTTs and I went through a HH of a 180 he came 2nd in. Fired up a couple of $4.40s, with him railing one of them, and whilst I bundled out midway, he didnt seem to think I played too badly. A lot of bad flops after I raised good hands PF, and my exit was AK v's AQ where he hit his Q.

I fired up 3 more after he left, and with some of his advice still clear in my mind I started well, taking full advantage of my big hands (its fun, you hit the nuts and push and someone always calls ). Dropped out on one, cant remember how, but not only made it ITM on the other two, but to the final table . Was a little short on each, but not desperately. Ended up going out on one in 8th with QQ AI pre v's 55 (he hit a 5), and the other one I did a fairly good job of keeping afloat long enough for a bunch of others to knock each other out, and ended up coming 4th after pushing with A6s UTG with 9BBs and being called by AQ. No suckout for me.

So about $18 from the 8th and about $56 from the 4th more than paid for my excursion into MTTs, and my BR is almost $870 now.

BR - 867.82
Bonus FPPs - 714/1875.

These visits into other parts of the poker world are fun, but I've got to remember to keep on top of my FPPs for my bonus also. Have almost 2 months to earn the rest.
