Needless to say its been a tough week to get all my work done. Likewise its also been a tough week to get my goal of 60 180-player SnGs in as well partly due to work load, partly due to fitness sessions and partly due to a PokerStars maintenance window.This week's summary brought me to almost break even for the week but the results for week 2 are a big improvement on week 1. The summary for this week's 180-player SnGs are as follows:
Session 1: 17 played, Placed: 1 (12th), Prizes: $4.92
Session 2: 9 played, Placed: 2 (6th, 6th), Prizes: $41
Session 3: 6 played, Placed: 2 (4th, 6th), Prizes: $44
Session 4: 4 played, Placed: 0
The last session was cut short by a PokerStars maintenance window - one of the disadvantages of playing from a timezone that is not part of the mainstream peak hour traffic. I may have been guilty of being results oriented in the second and third sessions by playing shorter than usual sessions due to running good however I unfortunately started these sessions later in the evening and needed to stop due to tiredness.
The main positive now is that the trend is turning around and four-tabling with continuous loading is proving a much more favourable set up for me now. I am also getting used to making a few adjustments in certain spots against more of these micro stakes players.
I always find it interesting comparing the concept of playing for the win and taking all coin flip situations in these turbo MTTs vs being a little more patient in the later stages and not putting oneself at unnecessary risk in certain spots against weaker opponents. I feel like I am getting this balance right more often at this low buy in level - I am interested in any feedback on this concept in the 180-player turbos - feel free to leave a comment here if you have any insight or opinion on this.
Anyway its been a good steady week balancing work, life and enjoying some nice weather.
