I've been breaking even in the last few days at cash games. In the morning I had a horrible start losing some $ but at night I broke even.

Tournaments at Titan are quite easy and each table has 10players so you get 1 more freehand than at PS. In the afternoon (3PM EST, 21CET) there are good tournaments with a pretty decent player field and the price pools are kinda good. Those tourneys are a little bit tough, like the ones at PokerStars. I pretty much always cash in them but bust at 50-30th place...

On the other hand, at night, the tournaments are just ridiculously easy. With a small player field (90 to 120 players). I play the $6, $5, and two $3 w/rebuys every day and reach the Final tables quite often. But for some reason, after having a great tournament, I play very bad at the FT and bust early...

Today I reached the FT at the $5+R and $3+R. The $5 had around a 140players with only the top 2 tables (20players) getting into the money. I reached the Final Table 6th place in chips but busted in 9th for only $32 ... That sucked since I invested $20.50

I know exactly what my mistake was and I'm planning of fixing it the next time...

Then at the $3+R, with a 120player field with 20 getting paid, I reached the Final table 2nd in chips. I busted in 4th for $59 with only $6.30 invested... Once again, I know exactly what my mistake at the FT was... I'm kinda dissapointed because those mistakes were very stupid... but I gotta learn from them and move on.

So my BR so far is:

Tomorrow will be a new day and I'm gonna try my best at those small buyin tournaments and hopefully wont make as much mistakes as I did today.

if poker is dangerous to them i would rank sports betting as a Kodiak grizzly bear who smells blood after you just threw a javelin into his cub - RaiNKhAN

I chase draws till the turn, because they see youre in a draw and then make a huge bet on the turn and then i have to fold. With overpairs I dont have too much trouble, I can say I'm quite a "good" reader and know when to fold QQ in boards like T-4-2 cause i know they have KK or AA. Players are Titan are really idiots, they always show you their hand when you fold lol :D
