got the spreadsheet going

fun stuff. i've entered all my 1 table 9&10 handed tourneys and so far this month ive played 97 of those types. something exciting that pops up at me immediately is that i do have a positive roi, although it is less than 10%, but at least its in the positive, right.

also - i've cashed in exactly 30 of the 97 with 50% of my cashes coming at 1st place (15) and then 9 at second and 6 at third. then i have 30 more finishes in 4th and 5th, and the last 37 spread from 6th - 10th. what this information tells me is that i am playing aggressive and playing to win vs. just playing to cash and is very exciting for me to see something concrete reinforcing what i was thinking about my play.

also, i checked out the pokerxfactor.com website and watched a couple of videos showing the pros hands as they play a tournament, both a sit-n-go and multiple table tourney. that was pretty informative. also, on pokerstars, they will replay the final table from the most recent big tourney with all players hole cards exposed, so you can see what people are doing. i watched a couple of those for a while last night and i think that will be about as instructive as anything else.

its fun to uncover new resources and im really excited about these video options. the pokerxfactor has commentary from the pros as well, so it will be interesting to hear their thoughts on certain plays and not just watch it and wonder why they did something. all this together should really help accelerate my game.

til later,
peace and love and happiness to all
