STTs

Played nine 5 player STTs on Poker 770 today, winning 2 and finishing second 4 times. Did better in the two this evening than the seven this afternoon so I think I will stick to evenings from now on.

Have posted previously that Saturday afternoons not usually profitable for me and was only just today (still not had a losing session on 770) and I don't know if that is because there is a better class of player at that time or I just play a looser game. Anyway it is clear I should be doing better things with my Saturday afternoons than playing poker, which is just as well because I shall be at York races next week and on the beach at Scarborough the following one !

Played my next round game in the Punters Lounge heads up tournament, winning again thanks mostly to AA, AKh and AQs in fairly quick succession, followed by a winning hand of 55 v AJ with a flop of x5J. Into the final eight, with money for the final four - which before the tournament started I pledged to donate to charity should I win any. The money is generously being put up by a member of PL so that the games are completely free.

The really big MTTs continue to be a problem at the moment as I am still playing too many hands early on - today's effort was 9166th out of 9500 approx on Bet365 !
