MTTs & STTs

MTTs
Ran well in a couple of MTTs that I played in tonight, coming 3rd in both the Paradise Poker League and a Monte Carlo sat. 65 runners on Paradise and 44 in the sat.

I'm just outside the top 10 of the Paradise league now (12th) and will therefore be pushing for an overall top 5 finish over the remaining tournies.

As I've played a lot of MTTs this month I'm just a couple of MTTs away from having stats on my first 50 which I'll post over the next few days.

The stats are looking good, obviously boosted by the $750 win last week, but more importantly I feel like I am playing good poker, and will be challenging for the money each time I play. My ITM % is 21%. Probably be out really early in the next tournies I play :)

Unfortunately the spreadsheet I am using does not capture multi-tabling but I estimate my hourly rate will be somewhere around $15-$20. Whatever it is, so far this year it seems clear that MTTs are my highest hourly earn.

STTs
Been running too good on FT over a very small sample. I always seem to start off well on a new site and then my result diminish. Now I'm not a conspiracy theorist so I know there is nothing sinister going on, but what is it that makes me (appear to?) win more when I first play on a new site. Through my first 9 $10 SNGs I'm running at a ROI and ITM of 55%. This has helped pick up my overall SNG stats but I am still a way off being bankrolled to step up to the $20s.

For the first time I used Sharkscope to pick what it classified as 2 softish SNGs on FT. I finished 3rd and a 4th so the jury is still out on the usefulness of this feature. However, in the long-run surely this can only be positve in terms of potential ROI? It must be a good thing.

Itching to get back on the cash games.
