Friday 28th March.
I had a few days off last week on the Tuesday and Wednesday, came back to playing on the Thursday but within a couple of hours knew straight away that I was tired and tilty so stopped after the first couple of tournaments I played.
Played Friday 28th and again knew I wasn't in the mood for a big session only played 16 tournaments but got an early 2nd out of 125 in a baby 5 rebuy on Full Tilt for $353 which led to a small winning day.
Saturday 29th March.
Saturday was feeling good and started the day with winning the 5 rebuy I came 2nd in the day before for $471. Had a few deep runs but went deepest in the 10 euro 15k guaranteed on Pokerstars.FR
Came 3rd out of 1851 for 1400 euro's however came away gutted as had total control of the table and was chipping away nicely against this one loony opponent was playing 3 handed for 45 mins and was comfortable had chipped up from 2million to 9 million in chips with Mr Loony now on 8 million and the other down to about 16 bb's around 2 million in chips. When I raised from sb with 108, flop came down 1072, I bet he called, turn was a 9, I chk and he bets pot 1,7 million into 1,7, he's been betting pot with draws or nothing and normally betting 2/3rds of the pot with his good hands, anyway I decide to jam with top pair and open ended straight but he insta snapped me off with Q10 and held. Was out in 3rd a few hands later.
Nice cash but was disappointed as missed out on a potential extra 1000 euros as with a little more patience felt I should have won that one.
Sunday 30th March.
Managed to get quite a few big stacks early on only for them to lose important flips when deep. Came 66th out of 2447 in the Double Deuce.
Had a nice stack in the $215 FTOPS 1 48k at 500/1000 blind level with 600 odd left 460 paid only for playing two hands very badly and getting knocked out before the money.
Ended up a small losing Sunday after lots of early promise, only 1 saving grace I had managed to get to Day 2 of the 100 euro Scoop 2 High tournament on Pokerstars.FR and finished very strongly the last hour to end the day in the money and 2nd with 343 players left out of the 3600 who entered and a dream of the 48000 euros for the winner.
Monday 31st March.
Wasn't going to play today and planned a day off as kids were off on teacher training, with qualifying for Day 2 of the 100 decided just to play that and fully concentrate on it.
However not to be I'm afraid. Had a horrible table draw with two very lose big stacks behind me and couldn't pick up a pot early on ended up shoving my last 16 blinds with 88 from cutoff into small blinds Aces. Ended up 92nd for 435 euros - sigh....
March finished with a tiny profit thanks to the French sites which I managed to turn around a 1400 loss to 1360 profit over the last 10 days. I definitely ran poorly especially in the first half of the month and got to a lot less finals than I would have expected.
I played the most tournaments I've ever played in one month and feel I've learnt a lot and definitely in the groove so here's looking forward to a successful April. Only playing three weeks this month though as I have a week in Lanzorote with the kids from 20th April, however need to earn some spending money before then so will be grinding hard for the next two weeks.
