Brimming with confidence..

Maybe I should be careful of a big comedown in London at the weekend but at the moment I am full of confidence about my play and it is showing in my results. Yesterday I played 4 tournaments, cashed in two, one of them made the final table. One of the others I was bubblicious as i picked the wrong time to get aggressive with a big stack! On top of that I took some of my winnings into a 6 handed $2/$4 No Limit game on Paddy Power and after 4 hours play cashed out $1150 from an initial $300 buy in.

Cash games have not really been a priority or a forte in the past but lately i have been doing well whenever I have gone into a decent level game. This time I am not going to cash out all my tournament winnings and I am going to give a few more of these a go. I probably still do not have the bankroll to play these level of games but I believe I am a good enough player to do well in them. So I will take the profit from last night and see what I can do. It gives me 3/4 buy ins at that level without busting my bankroll and if I can continue a good run then it won't be long before I am playing within the required bankroll levels.

I am really looking forward to London, this will be my 4th €2000+ buy in tournament and I am looking to improve on my 12th in Deauville earlier in the year. The field is limited to 256 runners and rumours abound that it is a one hour clock which will suit my style of play. The good thing about qualifying for these in a satelllite is that you are not 'scared' money and over some of the professionals that are not running so well that is a good advantage. It also evens out a little the advantage those with deep pockets who can afford to play the game without worrying about losing a coin flip.

Hopefully I will have some good news to report on Sunday.

Stay Lucky,

Mike
