I got 2nd in a $20 buy in live tournament on Friday night with 25 players. I got $120 for my efforts. But then yesterday I proceeded to lose $140 playing 2-4 on Full Tilt. I was getting outdrawn like you wouldn't believe! But, I could have saved a few bets here and there, and I proceeded to give my money away on a few hands. That's my biggest weakness in limit hold em'. I always call the extra bet when I know I'm beat, and that's something I'm trying to get better at. Limit Hold Em' is really a different strategy, and it involves laying down good hands like overpairs, or top pair with top kicker frequently. That's something I'm learning to do, but it's not easy!
Friday I'm leaving for Biloxi, Mississippi to see my cousin Troy. Pounds is going with me, and I think it's going to be a pretty fun trip. I imagine we'll be discussing poker quite a bit, and we're gonna play at a few of the casinos down there. I'm pretty pumped for the whole thing.
I also bought some new poker chips that were pretty expensive, so I'm gonna cut back on the money spending for awhile! I did hear about a charity casino down the road from our house, so I might try to hit that up the weekend after next and see if I can make a little money. Should be a good learning experience anyways.
Well...that's all for now, have a good day!
