ITM on SCOOP: 611th place

Let me start by the end. I played about 8 hours of tournament, and my AKs lost for a Q8o from villain, an eight comes on the flop and I had about more than 200K chips but villain had more than 3 times my stack. I can believe it he calls my push with Q8o!

Anyway, I enjoyed very much playing my first SCOOP and ended up deep In The Money, and I was unlucky with my +EV shove UTG with AKs. I have never played so much straight time like this. The SCOOP tournament started at 22:00 with more than 20000 players and I ended played at 06:00 on the 611 place.

The money places begun at 3600 place. It took 5 hours to get in to the money, usually the regular MTT's takes only 2,5 hours. If I had some time I will post some interesting double up hands.

The prize ended up boosting my bankroll and this was a 2 day event, I wish I could made a final table to get a great pay check, better next time!

I will grind this month some 9 players regular SNG's of $3.40 and also come more MTTs. See you at the tables, I am all in!

April, May and SCOOP

April is done. Not too much to say about, just to mention that it was a different month by all means. I tried some new type of games: 45 Man Turbo SNG's, 6 Man Turbo SNG and the $3.40 9 man SNG's. Besides not making much $$ I did not put not much volume on them to figure out my true ROI on each type of game or at least on some of the games.

I figure out that sometimes I do not practice what I write or set as a monthly goal but when is a trimester or a yearly goal I have more discipline to make the goal.
May is here and I wont be setting any goal for May, I will maintain my goals for the last of the Trimester.

I can promise some things: will increase my performance on MTT's by dedicating more study and work on them and, of course, to start play more MTT's.
Besides big Tournaments I will grind the secure Double or Nothing tables to increase my bankroll. I put my bankroll goal to make a 4 digit bankroll until the end of the year.

I will play the SCOOP No Limit Hold'em Event $22 NLHE ($500K Guaranted), on May 9 at 22:00 WET (Portugal Time). It is my first MTT on the SCOOP event, I won this ticket on Pokerstars.
