More Rush, being impatient and Zackjack

Very little felt related action last night.

I played a $22 super duper mega donk turbo sat to the $70k guar on PS. I had a bout 15 minutes to wait until the game started and figured I'd take a shot at a cheapo entry. Saving a whole $33 bucks. Its 6 handed, 2 win a seat, 3rd gets $22 back. I lasted 2 hands pushing my 500 chips in with 1010. Seemed like a good idea at the time but the was not good.

This seemed to set the tone for my night as I now felt unlucky and skipped the $70k Guar which I was stoked to play. Instead I donked my way through a $8.80 MTT and an $11MTT. It was dreadful, I may as well have tossed my money at the cat. Why did I bother. Everything was wrong. I let that small coinflip of a satelite put me on tilt and the I didn't play the game I wanted and finally the stakes were to to low to keep me interested. FK!

I switched to FT and more rush poker. Back to my prefered cash game of PLO. I again bought in light for $40 at the .25/.50 game. I know its better to come in full but I just seem to be having better results being hyper aggressive with a small stack than playing with the full buyin. This is very very new for me. I would always be teh first to chastise a shortie. When I get a hand I want the most amount of $ possible on the table. In fact if I'm ever at a live game/casino I'd be to embarrassed to buy light. Anyway, it all went pretty uneventful although I was getting more than my share of premium hands. I was chipping up steady when finally I hit a hand at the same time as an opponent. We 4 or 5 bet it all in PF with AAxx(nut spade draw) vs AAxx(club draw) and my spades got there for a real nice pot. I pretty much went on cruise control and signed out up $100. Saved my day. +/- $80-100 seems to be my routine on Rush poker, nothing more or less so far.

Here is a link to an Ottawa player why does a nice job of writing about a Live MTT he played at Turningstone. Read and enjoy.
