Not being able to finish tourneys can be very frustrating, but you still have some nice scores.

Better luck next time.

Back to the Grind

A_Junglen Well, I’m just about all settled in my new apartment.

Today I got a ton of furniture delivered. My apartment is nearly completely furnished, and I’m loving it. The only thing I’m waiting on is the new TV I recently purchased. It’s the Pioneer Kuro 50in flat panel plasma HDTV. It was on backorder, and will be in stock in about 10 days. From all of the reviews I’ve read, many consider it to be the best television on the market. I’m having the Best Buy Geek Squad come by and mount the TV on the wall, as well as hide the speaker wire through the wall. It’s going to look great.

I played most of the online tournaments that started between 6pm - 11pm. I ended up going deep in many of the tournaments, including multiple final table bubbles and multiple final tables. The biggest cash of the day was when I took 2nd in the FTP $109 6max. Second place is always extremely brutal, and I ran atrocious heads-up.

Other notable finishes include:

8th in the UB 11pm ($400)
Final 2 tables in the AP $1k ($1.6k)
Final 2 tables in the UB $150+12 ($255)
Final 2 tables in the PS $300+20 ($2,250)

I believe there are a few other cashes I didn’t note.

All in all it was a fairly profitable day (made around $8k), but it was still frustrating. In the PS $300 (1st was $65k) I constantly ran into my opponents big hands. I couldn’t catch a break in the $1k, and again the $109 6max where I got 2nd for $5k, I really feel like I should’ve won. That was really disappointing. It’d been a long time since I put in an online MTT session. I love my new desk that’s in my new office and I really enjoyed playing poker on my new setup.

While I’m not going to start playing MTT’s 7 day a week like some grinders, as long as I continue to enjoy playing MTT’s like I did today then you can expect to see me playing the nightly tourneys 3-4 days a week.

I’m taking a break from tournaments tomorrow but, but might work on some PokerVT material, and I’ll also post some pictures of my new pad.

Later,

Adam Junglen
