I wasn’t able to play too much poker this weekend, but I did play a bit last night, and once again came tantelizingly close to the Big Enchilada.
I played in a $33 buy-in event, 198 players.
I was almost knocked out in the first 10 mins when some bozo sucked out on me with pocket 8’s. […]

Another tough session in Sit-N-Go Hell on Poker Stars tonight.
After all was said and done, I ended up down $66.15 for the night.
I took a few 3rds, and a 1st in the single table $6.50 Turbo Sit-N-Go’s, and didn’t finish in the money in a few 3 and 5 table Sit-N-Gos.
It was the same old story, […]

What a strange evening.
For the first time ever, Pokerstars crashed on me while I was playing online.
I had (3) single table Sit-N-Gos, and a 45 player tourmanet going at once, when BLAMO… frozen tables… no connection.
I tried for 30 mins to reconnect, I couldn’t even log onto the Pokerstars website from either of my two machines. […]

A quick update on the $300 challenge.
The evening started out well enough, I did very well in the $6.50 turbo Sit-N-Gos, taking two 1sts, two 2nds, and a 3rd out of 8 tournaments.
But then I pressed my luck, in the search for the Big Enchilada again.
I entered the $109 Buy-In event, 500 players this time, […]

So I jumped back into the poker pond this weekend and resumed the $300 challenge.
However I really wasn’t in the mood to grind it out playing dozens of tiny turbo sit-n-gos. I know that’s the mission of the $300 challenge, to try to have long term gains based on positive ROI, however I believe if […]

Well on my 2nd night, the $300 challenge almost came to a screeching halt.
I started on the $6.50 single table Sit-N-Go’s, as planned, and after a few hours was only able to get a few 3rd places and I think one 2nd. I took a break, and then played some more, and then… it happened.
The […]

I started the $300 challenge last night, and I didn’t do all that badly.
I only had time to play for an hour or so, so I played in 5 Turbo $6.50 Sit-N-Go’s on Poker Stars. I finished 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 4th, and 7th, cashing three times for a grand total of +$26.90 for the night.
I’m […]

If you like to play Sit-N-Go’s, you might want to check out a pretty cool new promotion that they’re doing over at Pokerstars. It’s called “Battle of the planets” I’m not really sure what the inspiration is behind that, perhaps the guys over at Pokerstars are Star Wars geeks or something? Anyways, it’s a pretty […]
