Poker is fun, isn't it.

Well, the last couple days have been great poker days. I have played really well in the MTTs that I have played. I know that sooner or later my AA will not be cracked by T8 or QQ, both rivered by the way. Lol. I was in great positions in two tournaments and go knocked out on those hands. I have had AK and go knocked out of 2 or 3 more when I didn't catch, and once on a suckout by AJ. For the most part I have gotten my money in as the favorite I would say 90% of the time so I am very very happy with my reads and plays.

The most important thing is when the money goes in, you cannot control what happens after that. I have lost a lot of races the last two days, but that is the nature of poker. There will be days where I will not lose the races and I will win one.

I hooked up a second monitor and it was really nice. I played 5 tourneys at once and was really on fire, until the bad beat storm blew in, but it was very enjoyable playing both Poker Stars and Party Poker at the same time. Party Poker can be a real pain in the ass with their games popping up over other sites and not letting you click on anything until you click their site first. With the two monitors it was not a problem at all.

I played 4 SNGs in the afternoon at the same time and it was very very nice. I can't wait to do it again. I finished first in two, one each on Party and PS, and then I finished 2nd in the other Party SNG. Took a bad beat of sorts on PS to finish 5th, but felt really good about that one too.

PokerXFactor is really paying dividends for my game, and I recommend that you find a similar teaching tool to improve your game if you care about being better.
