AAAAAAAAARGGG

It feels like it has been forever since I won a big MTT. Given that I only play a maximum of a handful each week I am probably being impatient but I won 2 biggies in December and another in April and I have barely had a sniff of a top 3 finish since.

Success breeds hunger (and greed) I guess.

Last weekend was typical. I played 3 MTTs. The Pokerstars Million was a no-go from pretty early on but the $200K on Ultimate Bet and another $200 on Full Tilt were going well. To cut a long story short I cut through a field on 970 on UB to get down to the last 30 only to see my top pair get busted by a flush draw come good on the river. $800 didn't really comapre to the $45K first prize. Worse was to come on Full Tilt. A 450 runner affair with a $22K first prize and handsome 5 figure bounties for 2nd and 3rd too, I was a clear chip leader with 18 left. Sadly I played too agressively and lost 3 conflips to finish a very disappointing 12th.

The guy sitting on my right had read me up on Poker Verdict and had been complimentary all night until I got busted at which point he remarked "I guess end-game is not your strong point the" - Nice :(

On the plus side, I arrived to work on Monday to find an email from UB, saying that I had knocked one of their pros out of the $200K comp and so had a free ticket to their UBOC $500 main event on 10th December.

If my timing is really good, I can bury the above memories by going real deep or even all the way in that

one can only dream ............

Finding MTTs

OK - its time for an unashamed plug of my favourite Poker Verdict tool.

Its a unique tournament search tool that allows you to find the game that suits you. Check it out - let me know what you think ..........

This is my blog and I am plugging my site - nothing wrong with that is there?????
