First Poker Post!

I've been dabbling in poker after taking an extended break from poker. I played continuously over spring break and really wore out my brain poker wise. I did however make 3 final tables and win my first online tournament ever. I've been really close before but hey I finally managed to close out the deal. Oddly enough, I won a 6 person max tournament for $130.00...I suck at 6 person max...well maybe I just got lucky but I think I'm finally growing as a poker player again. Took freakin' long enough...

Anyways, I have decided to take a shot playing on PokerStars again, simply because there is a much larger volume of players on PokerStars then Full Tilt. I haven't really had my usual tournament swings on Stars...I'm actually a giant 0-7 in tournaments right now. I just haven't been able to adjust to the larger fields on Stars then on Tilt I think. As I speak I'm running alright in a $4.40 190 person Sit n Go tournament after a horrendous start on my part. I'm way below average in a $2.20 tournament with 1,748 entrants...but I'm still in it right? I've still got a shot...man that $600 first place prize would be nice...

I've also broken one of my poker commandments by playing cash games on Stars. Since I've been sucking it up in the tournaments, I had to somehow offset it since I just deposited a small amount on Stars. I've made $17.65 in a small .25/.50 limit and .10/.25 no limit session. Offsetting the loss to my bankroll by playing cash games is nice...but man I have to stop! I'll update later with how I did in my tournaments.
