Hey, its been awhile. I've been playing very little this past month and as of today I am moving onto a new venture for awhile. I will be playing more on UB and PS as well as playing the Sunday majors. I've had to bail on the Bankroll Challenge for now, it took too much time playing 1c-2c but I would love to get back into it in the future.
Had a bad start to the new regime, played 13 MTTs and didn't have a single cash. Not good results considering I am used to cashing in roughly 18%.
The great thing is though, that I know what I was doing wrong!
Often times people don't know what they have done wrong to get such undesirable results, however, I do. I simply spread myself too thin. Considering the start times of the tourneys I played (6pm-930pm) and the value of some of them (UB $6.6, AND somehow I had qualied into the Daily Dollar, these just act as a distraction from the real tourneys I should be watching). I was playing good and tight early but when the middle stages of the tournament came I was raising to thin in early position and not willing to fold to small 3bets. No I think often, if you are playing a good player, they will 3bet an utg raise thin and you can call or 4bet and not fold, what I was doing wrong was that I was opening with wrong types of hands utg. I was raising AJo/KQo/66 - hands I should be folding in almost every spot(unless when stacks are deep and the table dynamics dictate that I will be able to get these raises through). However, in these spots, I was raising utg with 25-30bbs and then calling a small 3bet, hitting a piece and not folding. I sincerely hope that no one was watching it because it is not indicative of my actual playing style. Playing tight early was great but when it got later I should have made some more moves in position and just thrown away everything 2nd level in every other spot.
I will make the adjustment and next session I will be playing fewer tables that are so inconsequential.
