It's no secret that I have little self control - some former beaux say that's part of my charm.
I say things like "I will only stay for one drink", "I don't think I'll drink martinis tonight", or"I'm not going to play poker for at least a week" with best intentions.
But something happens. My will crumbles.
While I haven't reloaded my accounts with cash yet, I *did* remember about Full Tilt's FTP SnG's, so I decided what the heck; it's not like I'm ever going to amass enough points to be worthwhile, so let's see if any of my reading has taken hold.
I played two 300 FTP one table SnG's, which only award first place with an entry for another satellite to the 400k. And placed second in both. Which considering some of my donkalicious play in January and Februray, is pretty ok.
I played sans distractions, and did well in the first stages, folding a lot, spending a little bit of my stack while blinds were low on figuring out how my tablemates played. My shorthanded play was good; I love shorthanded and my style of aggression always works well there.
Where I sucked in BOTH games was heads up. I definitely need to go back to the drawing board for that.
Time to skim a few chapters *grin.

Thank you for being weak whenever I needed someone to drink with at the bash!
I played one of those 300 FTP sats last night. Those things are all-in fests, but I can't complain cause I was one of the ones pushing all-in left and right.
Fun stuff.
Comments like "I will only stay for one drink" should never be uttered.
do we have an understanding?
2nd place is really good!
You know I'm right there with you on the willpower thing.
Although, I haven't had a drink in 60 days so that's progress :)
