I played several MTTs over the weekend, doing quite well I thought.
On Thursday evening, MrsSwingSwingSwing has went to bed earlier and I was going to watch Alien on FilmFour+1 at 10pm. I fired up PokerStars to see if there was anything interesting and decided to enter a $2.75 MTT. There were around 2000 entrants, par for the course.
Now despite my Aien-watching multitasking, I was playing well. Getting Aces a couple of times certainly helped but I was chipping up nicely. In fact very nicely. By the third hour I was in the top 20 and felt good. My reads were good, I was picking my spots to steal very well, my c-bets were bringing down the pots most of the time and I was good at avoiding trouble. That was until 1.30am when I donked off half my stack against the chip leader at the time. I still haven't went back to analyse it but I played it terribly. From that point I was struggling and bombed out in 50th. Still a respectable deep finish, bringing in $11 or so.
I went deep in another MTT on Saturday, finishing 33rd out of 1612 players in a $1 tournie.
I didn't do well in the Bloggerment though. Again, one bad hand against mikesaban left me short and I went out in 17th. But while I was playing the Bloggerment I was also in a British-Irish $1 MTT. This had 104 entries and I made the final table but busted out 9th. Once again, one stupid hand cost me a good chunk of my stack. I'm going to have go back and review these hands and maybe get some external assessment.
So, all in all, a very good weekend for tournies. I feel that my tournie game has improved in leaps and bounds over the previous few weeks. Just a pity that my cash games, which have all been in 5 Card Draw, has went to ratshit!
