In the Money Finish

Just finished in 4th position in a $0.25 90 player SNG. It paid out $2.14 leaving me with a balance of $3.47. Only $496.53 left to go.

25c Sit and Go

Finished the SNG in 21st Position. Unfortunately I made a few dodgy calls towards the end. I need to tighten up that element of my game.

Poker Stars Generosity

PokerStars have generously given me 2 dollars to spend playing poker on their site. The marketeer in me knows this is a ploy to get me to deposit more money when I lose the 2 dollars but i don't care.

Initially started off playing $0.01 cent turbo tournaments with 990 players, seems to be a bit of a lottery though because the volume of starting chips (stack) is so low and the blinds rise so quickly.

Now I've started playing $0.25 cent Sit and Go's with 90 players.

Still haven't won any money and currently I have a balance of $1.58 and a ticket to a weekend Freeroll that I still haven't used.

First sign of Success

After over 4 hours I finished in 62th position in the Hold 'Em free role satellite.

The top 72 of 9000 qualified for the freeroll. Can use the ticket at any stage, think there's a Hold 'Em game next Saturday that I'll enter.
