MTT WEEKEND

last weekend i dedicated to mtt play exclusively i playt a lot a tourneys and had mediocre results

saturady i couldn win a coinflip no matter how far ahead i was so it was just frustrating runing that bad and cannot change it i was not even close to get in the money on saturday oh wait i did win 2 satelites for sunday million

sunday it was even worst i dont want to even describe such a bad day you all know when things are going bad they are real shitty situations coming up where you can avoid to go broke like when i hit my full house on the river with 55s on a aqq25 board my opponnet had slowrolled his aces full all the way

i did cash in a few today i playt the 20k 3k stating chips 12noon time at stars 1456players enteret and i finished 72th or something like that

then it followed with the 20k nightly where over 2048 players went in i finished 52th after losing ak vs jj flop was j55 oh well luck was not on my side at the end but i am very happy with my game i can tell it is improving finally all the hard work and study ihave put into my game starts to pay off
i play a very aggresive style and get a lot a chips early i am not afraid to race early in mtt here is a hand we are deep in 20k blinds are 4k/2k i have 106k sitting in the cutt off i look down at 46s so i raise it up to 16k hoping to take the blinds right here and now
but i get a call from the big blind

flop KK2 he inmediatly bets out 20k having behind 140k now here no way he has a king most people tend to slowplay they sets so i just rerasied him 60k more and he insta folded his hand and i picked up a good size pot

i think here is where we divide good players from elite players

everybody can play aces or kings or premium cards but to see situations where you can take advantage of it and chip up without showdown is where the difference is you give nothing away you just rake in the chips by sensing weakness in your opponents
i have learned to be more observative at the tables at least when i am not multi tabling
