So i have been bleen playing tourneys on stars, i have been 3K down to even to back down 4K in the red. I have huge swings in form from solid player to biggest fish/calling station going. My planning of which tournaments i play and when is my biggest problem and relates directly to what standard of poker i am playing. I know i can play decent tournament poker so all is not lost.
My plan - To plan my nights games and stick to them. I am bad for snap
loading another game without thinking about what happened
leading to heart not in it money down drain.
No more than 5 tourneys running at same time. I find five is my
limit for keeping track of players at all tables, keeping track of
blinds, stages of tourneys and having enough time for decisions.
Playing when in right frame of mind. I play some nights for the fear
of missing a nice score and nothing else, don't. There is always
tomorrow!
I will have to play a little over my roll ($500) to start with as my best results come in $25 + buy in tourneys. I will post she dual of nights games before hand and update during night when i have time. I do not use tracker or manager or anything so posting hands graphs etc prob wont happen.
My first night of playing will be tonight so for anyone who actually decided to follow this ill post schedule later, cheers.

$5.50 $20k gar

My starting roll was $525 before entry fees were paid. If/when i get bombed out early ill reassess and prob enter more games. I have lowered by buy ins see if i can build a bit bigger roll before moving up.

Started tonight with $701
$5.50 20k cashed
$11 50k cashed
$22 1r1a 35k out early
$3.30 60k out early
$5.50 turbo 20k cashed
$55 100k was cruising to money finish then got involved in ridiculous
hand trying to steal blinds.
$11 20k cashed
All in all a poor night, no decent cashes and mainly bad play on my part to thank for it. Decent live game tonight so that will prob be it until sat night.
Current roll $593
