Play Online Poker

Just a few months back I finally made my first $100 starting from scratch and now I already have the $200 mark in sight.
Actually if you take into account that I also won a $16,50 PokerStars SCOOP ticket, I’m over $200 right now
But that ticket is to use in the next SCOOP games on PokerStars only so I can’t cash it in for the value of the money. But On the other hand, what if that ticket wins me a lot more cash
At the moment I’m only playing tournaments with a buy-in of maximum $4, so a $16,50 tournament will earn four times as much if I’m in the prizes.

Cash games are going great lately, with winnings 80% of the time I play cash games. And the times I loose I’m still able to minimize the losses for that particular game.
The best session was when I bought myself in into $0,10/$0,05 game for $10 and ended up winning $35 in about an hour later. In that session, I almost immediately read the table and knew when to bet or to fold. And another nice thing was that I also got the cards I needed if necessary.

Besides cash games I also started playing in the Double or nothing 1-Table Sit ‘n Go’s with a $1+$0,15 buy-in. Till now with great success, 10 sit ‘n go’s played, winning in 9 of them.
But the playing experience I don’t like in this particular sit ’n go. As soon as there 6 players left, everybody starts to wait for the one that makes an error. So I start steeling blinds by then, but it almost cost me the victory in a few occasions. Most of the times when at this stage there are only 2 or 3 players who are still actually play poker then and it’s cruel that one of these players have to lose because they’re actually playing. I hate PASSIVE players.
True it’s a tactic to wait for others to make errors, but the one time I didn’t win in the Sit ‘n Go, I was really pissed, not on the player who beat me, but on the wanker that always folded. He got lucky in the round before when he almost lost on the big blind, but hit an Ace on the river, doubling him up for a few extra rounds.

I’ll keep you posted.
