Been grinding away and heres the update
Hi All
Been a while but had my head down and studying like mad........
Have had a really good run lately and built my bankroll to just over £ 1000.00 and have moved up to 5c/10c tables.
Taking it really steady and reduced my table playing to just two so i can spend more time getting things right.
Comfortable at this level so far and to be honest I actually find it a little easier but that could be because my confidence is high and the inevitable downswing hasnt kicked in....lol
=============================================================
I do have a question though which is really p..ing me off.
Whats with late registration in tournaments!!!!!
don't get me wrong I am not a tournament player at all but I keep getting these tickets from partypoker and managed to get to the Punta Carls semi final event (£109.00 buy in)....7 players and we had been playing for just under 2 hours when all of a sudden up pops a new player................like I said I have no idea about tourneys so was a bit shocked to see this............
Why would they allow this some of the players who had started had less chips than this new player...how is that fair?
The really annoying thing is that they actually ended up with an advantage over those who had been playing and trying to win but were smaller stacked (just to clarify at that point in time I was chip leader and no they didnt take me out i made a couple of bad calls later on and was gone lol)
How is it justified as effectively they can just wait until a calculated stack ve blinds and then enter....I just think it is a real shame that they dont have the bottle to go for it right from the start.
If there are any tourney players out there ...whats your thoughts on it... I quite like the difference in play but don't see it in my armoury anytime soon......
back to the grind
cheers for now
