I took a couple weeks off from tourneys because I wanted to have a BR on Stars before I started playing tourneys heavily again. I finally got the roll I wanted onto Stars earlier today and decided to go ahead and play some tourneys across both sites tonight. I had some fears about things getting off to a rough start or maybe that I would lose some of my edge. Well I played seven MTTs tonight and cashed in two of them including one FT. The coolest part is that the FT was on Stars… my first night playing tourneys on Stars and I’ve already made a FT! I’m quite excited though I am very disappointed with the result. I came into the FT of the $20 rebuy 3rd in chips but only finished 6th for like 1K. I made a huge and frustrating blind vs blind laydown (folded two pair) cause I was sure I was beat then I went on tilt cause I folded lol. Got unlucky one more time then shoved blind vs blind as the shortie and busted to the BB’s A-high. Oh well. Besides my six-handed play at the FT I feel like I played incredible poker the whole night. My reads and subsequent aggression are where they were in September. The only thing that seems to be missing from my poker repertoire from September is all the insane motivation (due to frustration). I’m not sure how to “re-find” that motivation since I’ve been having success… lol its tough to get motivated when you continually get the result you want! Its a problem I’m not used to having but obv hope its a problem I have to deal with for a long time! Oh well, I’m sure it will come back around. Anyway, so far things are looking good just as I planned. I hope that I continue to own the medium buy-in MTTs until I feel comfortable and confident enough to graduate to the daily higher stakes buy-ins.
