Haven’t written in a while due to the fact that poker is more fun now that I only play a few tables and really try to improve but I am still playing bad/running bad so nothing to be proud of that I might wanna write down and keep it for the after world…

I was part in a milestone hand an got credited $ 399,- but this all severly reminds me of last year. I was in a milestone hand AND in a terrible Down resulting in cashing out and trying live poker… This year I am gonna cash out as well – as soon as I have SN cleared which will be end of the month and do some BR rebuilding by Bonus whoring starting with a FT account + free HM (I am still using PT) and free 3 month membership at Stox.. I am Member at CR alreaddy so I might go for the Stoxmembership… I will sign up with the very best Screen name ever at FT and I won’t tell anyone what it is

So I did something different today and used some of my FPP (since I have no BR I could spare some Bucks for “Fun” from) to sign in to a 1 table 9 max. Sit and go – Winner gets a ticket to the SM tonight.

I remembered how I started 2 years ago playing 1 table SnG’s to build my roll and I did it just the way I did it back then.. be patient, don’t do anything stupid, don’t waste ur chips, don’t be too nitty and don’t get blinded away…

When there where only 4 people left I thought it was gonna be HU between me and the Chipleader who had been playing quite passivley and when ever he moved he had the nuts so I thought that would work out fine when a very cautious and sort of nitty shorty all the sudden came back into the game by stacking the 4th player at the table.. now we all had sort of similar Stacks sizes and I have absolutly no practise in MTTs plus I was never any good at it. Took some orbits to figure out that both of them would fold their Blind to a steal or just shove. They never called and folded a lot so here is me actually blind stealing with 59s. (you have to know that I am a  confirmed Nit usually auto folding everything even at the BTN) Further they where both limping or just filling up SB and folding to a raise alot.. the passive guy had UTG limped Jacks before and when he limped and I raised with pocket 8s I figured I was very smart to fold to his insta shove…

and being that smart till HU I managed to win that thing and I am now the proud owner of a SM seat for tonight..

so I guess I will have to either read Collin Moshmans Book now or read HoH again since I am absolutly clueless concerning MTTs… as I might be concerning poker in general but that is another story.. I was gonna post the screenshot of the Qualifier but that is “uncool” thinking of the screenshot of the FT of the SM tonight that I would highly prefer to post instead.. so wish me luck I will need it since there is no skillz available

I post my winning Hand instead
