Update from Turning Stone
People tell me I should update my poker blog more. I keep forgetting that people actually read it.
Anyway, here's the latest from Turning Stone: I managed to sleep through several of the tournaments, but when I actually played I did well. I took 7th in the $300, and I won the $740 for just over $27,000. I also made it to 28th in the $600 but that didn't pay.
I just busted out of the $1000 on a pretty bad play which I've recounted several times and don't really feel like doing again.
I've been playing some cash games too-- almost entirely no-limit hold 'em; the biggest game they have constantly running is a 5/5 $500 max, but occasionally they spread 5/10 $1000 max and (more often, when the high stakes players are around) 5/10 20-to-go $300 minimum uncapped. I've done well overall, making about $4000, most of it on two nights (I dropped two buyins on my first night of 5/5 because I was dicking around way too much).
I dropped some money at shorthanded 30/60 and 50/100 limit hold 'em. I only played because there was a live one sitting in; limit hold 'em isn't my forte at all but I've recently been picking up shorthanded and I enjoy it because it's still action-packed, it just takes a very different set of skills. I was doing really well but I started running cold and got very tired, so my game slipped and I finished down $3000 or so. That's pretty bad for a session. I did pick up $1100 after getting 25% of someone who was in a good 75/150 game later in the week.
And I crossbooked someone 10% on the $740, because I was up all night playing the 300-min game and he thought I'd be too tired to do well. Still waiting to collect, but that's another $2700 in the bank.
More later; I gotta run.
