After a refreshing 6th place finish in my weekly Wednesday night live tournament, I followed this up with a 4th place on Saturday. Admittedly there were less players on Saturday, but it is the fact that I am feeling better about my play at the moment that counts to me more, as a player.
I made some good reads and despite dropping down to 1,700 in chips late on, I picked up pocket aces just after my forced all in by the big blind had trebled me up. Unfortunately though, I still had to keep busy to try and get myself into a more comfortable position, and I was caught making a move against the big blind when I was in the small. After it had been folded around, I made an all in bet, my opponent happened to have (K,J) and I was gone.
Online has also seen some joy for me in recent days, with a second place in a bounty tournament on PKR netting me a total of $91 for 7 heads and the 2nd place. Also a 1st place on a $10 STT was helpful amongst other cashes, and I am currently feeling revived in my faith, for both myself and the game of poker. The important thing as a player, is to stick with it and keep playing your game if you ever find yourself disheartened, because things always turn around eventually.
So I approach this week with renewed optimism, and high hopes for my live league game on Wednesday. Although I can also recognise I have been having the run of the cards online for the past couple of days, I would like to think my balance moving in the right direction is partly due to my play too. I hope of course, that this trend also continues.
