ITM now over 21%!
CurtomI just went out and checked my stats and I am now cashing at over 21% out of 150+ tournaments with more than 180 players. Not bad at all. Playing well and making very good decisions. Most importantly I am not leaving anything on the table and winning all the pots I should be winning in addition to stealing abandoned pots with nothing.
I have made three final tables in the last eight online tournaments but have placed no better than fourth. A little frustrating but there is not much you can do about it. You still need to pick up a few hands when it gets down to those final six or so. Otherwise, I have had finishes of seventh and ninth. Still respectable nonetheless.
Scotty Nguyen and J.C. Tran made several final tables before breaking through and winning their first World Poker Tour tournament. Sometimes you just have to continue to put yourself in position to win and the rest will work itself out later. That’s kind of been my attitude towards the whole thing. If I keep putting myself in position to win eventually it will work itself out. I just hope it is in a big online tournament for lots and lots of money.
LOL
Take care!

21% sounds good! How many tournaments do you play at a time?
I mostly play SNG, where the IMT should be higher to be profitable.

Michael,
I typically play one tournament at a time. Every now and then I will play two. I like to stay focused on one thing at a time to avoid distractions. My buddies all play four and five at a time but they are also playing 9 player sit n go’s too. The tournaments I play are at least 180 players or more.

I have always thought that it keeps you focused if you pay exactly enough tables so you don´t get bored, internet surfing, messenger and TV.
Is this site a template or have you made it yourself? One of the better I have see, especially for poker blogs.

I agree. Too many tourneys at one time can be a bit distracting but to each is own. The template I downloaded some time ago. Can’t remember where though. Thanks for the kind words. We are actually looking at changing the look of Do or Die soon.
