Man, I used to be so much better at poker.
Today I started playing some poker tournaments on Full Tilt Poker.com I used to play these tournaments all of the time when I lived with my Mom up Crosier Rd., and I won a lot of them and placed well in the others. Well, today that hasn't been the case. I have played probably 5 tournaments, and the best I have placed was third earlier this evening. I got to the final table in one other one, and the rest I was knocked out.
I used to have a lot of skill in poker, mostly with the patience. Now, It is different. I don't know if it because I was a little bored and drowsy, or if it is just lack of practice. Probably a little of both, but I hope this streak doesn't continue. I will try a couple different strategies, the biggest thing is endurance and patience. If I focus on these, I should be back up top.
A couple of the tournaments I have played in tonight were freeroll tournaments. These tournaments are free to enter and pay real cash for the top place winners. Then, I can use this cash to play in some money games to win more cash. It would be really nice to get a bankroll going and start winning some major cash with my poker winnings. There are really people out there that make a living playing online poker. It is definitely possible.
