Another cash

I haven't played since my last post below,and as I am not working till tomorrow night I thought I would see if any low stakes MTT's were about to start on Carbon Poker.Nothing caught my eye so then I checked out Sky poker as I have an account there also.The Open £5000 GTD was about to start,and as I have never played this tourney before I thought I would give it a try. 580 runners with the top 60 being paid,and I finished 30th for a nice profit! The blinds are 7mins and the players here seem to be a bit more loose than I am used to at the usual places I play,so I reckoned my best tactic would be play tight and try and steal the odd blind.It obviously worked as players dropped out like flies,but I am not complaining of course.
That is 2 MTT's this week and 2 cashes which is nice,and I hope this form continues.Maybe the 2-3 week break I gave myself from playing online has done me better than I first thought.
Good luck all and hope to see you at the tables.

So close..........but still pleased!


I am sorry that I haven't updated my blog for a while,but to tell the truth,I just haven't been playing very much at all.I have been too busy and have got more important things going on in my life right now (but thats another story).
I played my first MTT in weeks tonight ,AND I FINISHED 2nd!!!!!!!!! I really am chuffed with this result because at one stage in the tourney I was in last place with around 40 players left with 300 chips.But it just goes to show what can happen if you keep plugging away.Maybe I needed a break from poker as it was getting to the stage where I was ignoring other more important things in life and I have vowed to not let it take me over like that again.My poker ambition is still to win a MTT,and I really thought tonight was gonna be my time,but I am still pleased with a second place.Good luck all and I hope to see you at the tables.
