Anyway. You mentionned having issues with terms or playing higher buy ins. If u want to discuss hands or anything dont hesitate to PM me. Im currently playing the 5$ with a 200-300 Buyin rules so just a bit over you but pretty sure i could help you. I know the stress and struggle of trying to move up.
Sorry for the wall of txt. Good luck again. And let see each other at higher buyin soon hehe
Cheers for that. When I enter a higher buyin I feel pressure to make a move, and inevitably, do something out of the ordinary and stupid. I really just need to feel comfortable in that MTT. Yesterday I decided to enter a $5 PLO MTT a few times a weeks - there is one on iPoker at 19H00 and one on GG at 19H30 - the iPoker one has a $5 rebuy and GTD is double ($1000) - but am sure after playing them a few times I will become a bit more comfortable.
Did something pretty stupid yesterday - enter a $1/$500 gtd NLHE on ACR. Started at 06H00 - I started 30 min in - a pretty soon had a decent stack. For the next few hours stayed in the top 10, playing well. 13H00 comes along - sitting 4th out of 16 or 18. It's my last game and decided at the break I will log of an pick it on my laptop in the bedroom and play on the bed.
While walking down a pretty short passage, I forget I am play in an MTT and doing pretty well. Instead brain says take a nap. 40 minutes later a wake a brain says ---err, arn't you forgetting something? Log in to see I have 5bbs, in the BB and my turn to act - have 55 and shove, vil has AT and gets a str8 on the river. Out in 11th...
But must stop playing on ACR - these 3/4/5 hr late reg events are a pain - rather do the 1/2hr ones on GG and ipoker
