Major weakness in my Game

So after months of playing Mtts and getting much better, i think i've keyed in on a major weakness in my game that has been keeping me from making that big score. I rarely tilt any more, bad beats just roll off me. I honestly can not tell you one bad beat story from memory. But my major weakness is still mental. I have difficulty playing the...

Running Bad? Switch sites

I've run kinda bad over the past two days at fulltilt. So after a few quick bustouts again last night i closed out the full tilt client and opened stars where i had about $622 sitting.

FTOPS EVENT #24

STRUCTURE: BUY-IN: $120+$9 | STARTING CHIPSTACK: 5000 | BLINDS: 12MINS PER LEVEL My plan: This will be the first time I'm playing this deep and slow a structure. Obviously there will be a lot of room to maneuver post flop, this could be both a blessing and a curse. I thinks it will be important to resists the temptation to mix it up by seeing a...

Bad Beat

My ISP has been acting up for several days now. It finally went down completely last night, unfortunately i was several hours into some tourneys but not yet in the money. All moneys and effort down the drain. So i gave them a call this morning and they have an automated message saying they're doing some maintenance and will be back up asap. It...
