willhill weekends

I had my first experience of tournament directing yesterday with me being left to organise the saturday poker soc tourny. Unfortunatly we only got 10 players due to various factors so we had a sitngo. I was first out (big surprise) but had some interesting hands. Im slowly and reluctantly comming to realise that my tournament stratagy may not have max potential, i tend to play crazy poker lots of bluffing and pushing light. The hand i went out on is a good example of this I tried to push through a full table and a limper with 10bb with 23 off. Paul went on to win it playing his sitngo game.

So there we go i admit it i need tournament education hopefully when i get around to getting a few more fpps to get Slansky's tournament poker for adv players i will improve.

I also ran a cash game after the tournament unassociated of course with the society which by general consensus turned out to be 2p 5p. I lost about 3 buyins readily nothing more to say realy.

The weekends are definately the time to play on willhill as the 100nl games fill up with action players so im gona try and get some long weekend sessions in in the future. Ive been playing this morning and thought i would put up some interesting hands i had, feel free to berate my marginal plays :-)

In this first hand i noticed the villan was a lag who didnt like folding to continuation bets so i expected to have to double barrel to find out if he had something which im more tha willing to do.
