Being Low Stack

It seems whenever I take an early chip lead I tend to loose the tourney I am in. But once i am short stacked I come back and take down the entire thing. I think the reason for this is once i am chip lead I don't play in as many hands. I let the others do all the work. I need to be more aggressive when i have the lead. Also, on the other hand i get more aggressive in short stack because me going all in is a welcome to the chip lead to call. Everyone wants to be the hero at the table to burst that bubble. Or get closer to it. Remember just because you are chip lead doesn't mean you have to call everyones all in. That is what happened to the person who had the chip lead the entire game. they kept trying to knock people out and losing.. not even making it to the payout. Well that's it for now.

Eye Opening

Tonight I have found a site that most of you may know. It is

Shark Scope

It gives you a graph on how you have been doing at the tables. Lets just say mine is worse than I thought. On my old site my average ROI is at 1%. Not bad for a casual gamer. On the new site however it is -14%. I also have not played in as many games so hopefully it will improve. I will be checking this weekly for my stats to see if i'm improving or just getting worse. I would recommend you do the same to see where you are.

Getting back in the Swing

Well I have been busy and not so busy... I have spent a lot of my time lately playing a stupid computer game. I got sucked in to it. Finally I just said bump this and gave my account to someone I played with. Now it's back to poker. Boy I have missed this game. I have decided to take my money from one site and move it to another. Like I have said before there is no need to have bankrolls on different sites. I think this will be a wise move for me. The people on this other site are better players and they have more to offer. So this site, i hope, will get my game to a better level. Build a bigger bankroll and start playing for some real money. So far on the new site I have won a couple of sit-n-gos and a satellite to a pretty big tourney. Now we will see how it all plays out once i get my check from the other site and start playing in the bigger games.
