I know I posted on Gen. Discussion thanking Vandweller and Velo for their series but I figured I'd put up some results. I was grinding Sngs but I decided to branch out and do MTTS. I have been very successful with them as of late as you can see by my previous posts. A lot of the info you spoke of carried over and watching iweargoogles final tables also helped me as well. I still have some minor leaks which I am working on but here are my graphs from when I began my MTT journey to now.

MY FINAL TABLE SUCKS. So I played a tourney today 10+1 knockout and for the most part I did fairly well until I got to the final table. Playing against a very aggressive player my game just broke down. I made some lay downs which were questionable but with some of the chip stacks around me I didn't want to put all my chips at risk with those hands. One of my most controversial hands at the FT was this, which I ende dup posting on 2p2 and obv got bashed but at the time with some of the othe rplayers around me I just wanted them to knock themselves out so I could move up in the money. What would you have done?\

The title says it allll. I tilted for much of th week of May 17th-22nd. I broke my BRM rules and playe dlike an idiot and put my entire BR on the line. Luckily I cashed twice in one night in the 8.80 tourney I like to play which are limited to 180 players.
The bad beats continued and the super suckouts in the tourney I was playing. AA cracked multiple times as were my KK etc. So after about 20 MTTs I finally hit one again tonight and won 1st place after a long and dreadful heads up. I cashed 388 and some change. I can see that I am very weak in my heads-up game especially when it's that late in a tournament and there is so much money on the line. So I'm going to look and read into that. HU in a MTT and HU in a sng are much different. ANyway current BR
May 21st BR:$450
May 23rd BR:$738
Hands that changed it all @ Final Table

Nonetheless welcome to my blog, you can call me J for short lol. Anyway my story begins in the summer of 09 when I first started playing poker seriously at a friends home game. Super NIT, SUPER TIGHT, got bluffed on pots etc, I was terrible.
