Last few days

I have played another $6.60 KO MTT on UB and finished about the same as the first one. This time with 5 KOs I was only down $1.60 at the end. I have managed to pick up hands to build a stack and then run card dead and into trouble when the small/medium stacks get aggressive in the middle stages.

Also, played a $5.50 10 person SNG on UB and took it down for +$19.50

Then I have played 4 HORSE SNGs and got a 1st, 2nd and two 4ths. Both of the 4th places were in stud I think and I was not happy playing the hands vs a bigger stack on the bubble.

The 2nd place was dissapointing since I had the chip lead in 7stud 8/B and won a big pot at the end of the level and then when it switched to LHE the deck hit him hard and I kept picking up "good" hands vs him that are pretty much too good to fold HU in LHE.

First was nice after the rest of the set. Overall for those it was +$10.00.

90 KO SNGs and KO MTT

32nd and 25th /90

Had big stack in one early (yet only 1 KO), but at about 45 left the blinds go up so high that all the stacks are short. Don't really like these too much.

I think I will be giving the Deepstack MTT versions a shot. I found the play early to be soft, but with the crapshoot 2nd half not happy with the swings.

-$5.60 for the two.

EDIT: Played in a KO MTT on UB and I think that is a much better setup. More payout spots and a flatter blind structure. Same soft play, got a big stack early and then missed a couple of big draws to get somewhat short. Got it all in with a FD on the flop, made the flush, and he caught a 4th spade on the river to go with his As. 3 KOs for me early so only $3.60 loss.

Also just won a RAZZ HU SNG. Man, those can be battles against ok/good players...
