Played a Ton of Tournaments

After I got my work done yesterday I was chatting with good friend KingCurtis and we decided to hit up a slew of multi-table tournaments on PokerStars and see what would happen. It was a really fun day playing these ultra-micro stakes tournaments and I got to see what it takes to really make a deep run in one of these things. Some highlights:

• Played in 6 tournaments, cashed in 4.
• Highlight of the night was finishing 11th out of 2,367 players in a $3 tournament.  Unfortunately that only meant a $45 prize, but Curtis finished 3rd for a very nice $500 score.
• Played my first PLO HU Sit n Go ($2) which was fun, and won it.  I came back from a 2700-300 deficit!

Clearly I was playing stakes about 20 times below what I should be playing at, but the goal was to make poker a fun activity - so mission accomplished. On top of all that I managed to coordinate a sweat session with ChuckTs, one of the better low stakes 6max players on stars.  He recorded the video which is an hour long and is a fantastic watch if you want to see some good solid poker theory in action. You can see the video's thread on CardsChat Video Thread.

So that pretty much rounds out my month basically.  I think I actually ended up in the black when you consider the deposit bonus at the new site, the $250 bonus I unlocked at Stars and the Omaha I played.  It might be razor thin but that's kinda crazy to be actually in the black this month which is a positive spin on things rather than dwelling on a -$1,300 slide.
