Tourney success and moving on up

Hello to anyone who is reading this, glad to have you along. I have been a little tardy with updating the blog so I thought I had better update it now and get back on the blog writing horse again.

I have had a pretty good couple of weeks so I have a bit to share. I managed my best ever tournament result on Friday 20th January when I came second in the mini primetime deepstack on PKR. There were 1066 runners so second place is pretty good. I had a 3:1 chip lead going into the heads up play but I went totally card dead and when I had a hand I was dominated (A9 v AJ on an A52 board) which crippled me and I eventually had to settle for second. I took home $650 which is pretty impressive for a $5 entry tournament.

But as anyone who reads this blog or knows me knows, cash tables are my passion and things have gone well there too. I have run at 10bb/100 at NL10 for the month over 10,000 hands and overally my play has been pretty solid. As my bankroll has built up nicely now I have decided to move back to NL25, i played my 1st session today and managed to finish 3 BI's up which is a nice start. I will post some thoughts on the standard etc in a few weeks once I have the feel back for it, it's been 10 months since I played NL25 so not sure how it has changed. I enjoyed the session though, I found it much easier to put people on hand ranges as the play is that bit better than NL10 where people are playing any 2 cards.

Also I am looking to play a couple of live tournaments this year. I have never played live in a casino so it is something I am itching to do. I have signed up to attend the PKR meet in Southend this June so that will be great and I intend to play something before that, possibly a visit to Dusk till Dawn in Nottingham to play something there so I am not a total novice come June!

I will leave you with a couple of hands that went well and I believe show the standard at NL10 that I am leaving behind.
