Ok, so i am done for the day, here is the scorecard:

Tournaments entered = Around 30
Number of cashes = 5
Number of final tables = 2 :P
Prize money earned = $804
Entry fee's paid = $1122
Loss = $318

I feel that on the whole i played quite well, although i had a few ten minute peroid where i played below par. However, i am happy (despite the loss at the end of the day) that if i play this way consistently then i will win alot of money in these MTT's. I think today will act as a kind of bench mark for my standard of play, i played ok and dont want to fall below this level on any given day. With a bit more good fortune i think i cud of turned in a nice profit today.

The first tourny i cashed in was the 25k GTD 35 dollar FO on pacific poker. I came 70th out of around 650 in this (70 got paid) for $75. i played quite well in this and ran a bit card dead, as well as missing alot of hands due to technical difficulties with pacific poker on my machine.

My next cash was in the 20k gtd $100 tourny on crypto. I came 9th out of 200 for $500 and was extremely happy with my mid game play (where i dominated on a tight table) but think my late game lacked in that i didnt totally adjust when i got put on a new looser table. O well, i am happy with the result, and i was probably 1 suck out away from being a huge favourite with around 15 people left. never mind.

I was unlucky not to progress further than i did in two other crypto tournies in which i made the money, but not the FT. I bought in $55 a piece from around 18th in both a 20 dollar head hunter tourny and a 50 dollar regular fo.

My second (and last) final table for the day was in the $10 crapshoot on ladbrokes (with around 350 entrants), where i rode my luck and had alot of showdowns. I play these by just going all in alot because the blinds are just stupid as they go up every 3 minutes. This has always been a very profitable tourny for me. I came 8th in this tourny for $120. it also gave me some much needed leaderboard points for the ladbrokes leaderboard (which i intend to make a run at next month). The leaderboard is really good, because every final table u make in a tourny with over 30 people gives u points depending on the buy in, the number of players and your eventual finishing position on the FT. The winner of the monthly leaderboard wins $3000, and it pays down to 50th place. It wud be nice to win the leaderboard in august, although to do this i might have to stop playing on crypto and just focus on ladbrokes.

ANyway, - $320 for the day isnt the best start, i do not expect to be able to play for the next 2 or 3 days due to the fact that i am goig to my girlfriends house. I will then have a few days before i go away on a brief holiday.

Current BR = $11682
