Saturday 1st March.

First days play on Saturday. Started playing and managed to mess up my poker tracker.
In the previous week I added a lot more stats mainly for turn and river plays and now my hud has 5 lines for each player. I tested this on one table in the week and it was fine but as soon as soon as I had 6 tables in play I realized it was far too crowded as I couldn't move the hud outside the edge of the tables much by default.
Therefore googled and found I had to add a line to the pokertracker.cfg file that allows you to move the hud as far outside the table as you want. I did this but found I couldn't save it as the folder was read only and somehow managed to save it somewhere else without thinking whilst dealing with my 6 tables in play.
This totally stopped poker tracker working so had to mess around sorting out admin access to put the file back in its parent folder as for some reason it was saying my account didn't have admin access.
Eventually got it sorted but with that and messing around with a new spreadsheet I was a few hours into the session and realized I wasn't as focused as I should be, only managed 3 mini cashes early on and decided about 21.00 that I wasn't playing my A game and was rushing things trying to get a result on my first days play, therefore stopped registering for new games and just played out the 3 I was already in.

Ended up playing the one tournament 20 Euro $15k Guaranteed on Pokerstars.Fr for a further 4 hours. 612 entries got down to last two tables and was 16th out of 18, needed a double and 1st hand after going to two tables got 6s on the button ended up getting it all in v AQ but Ace popped on the turn so finished 18th.
Played a number of Sats to the Sunday million but didn't manage to get a seat in any of them so ended up a disappointing day.

Played 32 tournies including Sats. Entries $520 and only recouped $120, and on the French sites, entry fees 75euros and recouped 95 in prizes.



Sunday 2nd March.

Couldn't do the full days grind as my son had a football game and then went to the Villa game that didn't kick off until 16.30 so wasn't back home until 19.00. As a complete one off I had to buy-in to the Sunday Million as couldn't miss this weeks special as it was guaranteed at 8 million instead of the usual 1 million.

Instead of the usual 8000 runners this pulled in a field of 48000+. Played really well for 3 hours slowly doubled my starting stack, and then came the crucial hand which would have given me a very nice stack with half the field departed.

Got it in with one card to come and he managed to hit his 2 outer.
Gutting but still a long way out and you need plenty of luck in these tournaments, played well tonight though, plenty of time so will get back on the grind Tuesday.

Played 8 today entry fees $296 and 35 euros. Prizes - just one cash 101st out of 1017 in Pokerfest 4 for $40.
