I've been putting more study and volume into my SNG game, approximately 500 a week, I've also been reading about 6max NL strategy and tactics to improve and finally, I got a prop deal at this new poker room, where I get to play 6max and only that, with a good rakeback deal and softer competition.
Last but not least, the 3rd season of TPT (Taiwan Poker Tournament) started, if you haven't read the older posts from my previous blog, I was the 2nd season champion and got to go to Macau for free with my partner and play live poker everyday which was like heaven! :)
The first tourney had a record field of 71 players, and the new feature of the 3rd season is that it's sponsored by Pokerstars so every week, Pokerstars will give away prizes to the top finishers, early in the tourney I had lost half of my stack with the second nut flush and had nothing going really until I doubled up with Q2 on a 2KQ flop in a limped pot and I'd say the hand of the night was when I open raised utg with AKo, utg+1 snap jammed, the guy next to him flat called and a 4th person moved all in, it was a tough decision for but the blinds were so high and I had to go with my instinct and call, I was against A10o, JJ and KK, the flop came with an Ace which put a fat smile on my face before slapping me with a J on the turn, the set guy screamed out loud before the river gave me a flush amassing an enormous pot, I lost a couple of allins in the final table, btn raise with KQo, I jam from sb with AK, flop comes with 2 queens and so on but managed to finish 2nd and win a Pokerstars Backpack which was awesome, so until my next post, may the poker gods shine on you!
