what a difference a day makes. yesterday i felt like i wasn't doing anything right at the tables and today i'm feeling very good about my game.
after having dinner last night with my personal life coach and sage, i realized that i needed to step down in buy-ins. i was playing with people of about the same caliber as myself, which was making the competition tough and a lot harder to cash. today i've played only 6.50 tourneys and feel a lot better about my game. there are a few sharks swimming in these waters, but im hoping to be one of them.
just played in a tourney with a guy that basically employed the all-in strategy. wish i had seen him from beginning of the tourney to see how he got the chips, but once he got to my table he was already chip leader, and almost every time he went into a hand, he went all-in pre-flop and made everyone else call him. it was quite an effective strategy, as i laid down hands that i probably wouldn't have since i didn't want to play them for all my chips. the pros say this style is most effective for people who really have no post flop game. it basically evens out the playing field against better players.
doubt that i will adopt it, but it does make for an interesting exercise in strategic thinking for how to counter it.
off to run a few errands.
peace and love and happiness to all

Hey there! I just won my first tournament on pokerstars.com (it was only a 10 cent buy-in game, but with the turbo blinds and 360 players, that's still pretty good!). I'm stoked. Keep up the good play!
