LAST CHANCE $5/45 SIT-N-GO TOURNAMENT

Welcome once again as i continue my journey to make $20,000 today we will play the $5 45 man sit-n-go tourney. I am currently down to my last buy-in of the day. Poker has really become tricky yhese days;But i plan to stick with the system that i have incorparated here. In todays session i have one cash and have droped two buy-ins in a row.I have a 3 in out rule so ,if i drop this buy-in also i will call it a day or take a break for atleast 4 hours.

This method cuts my losses and helps me to aviod tilt;I may also evualuate my game also.SO the tourney is about full and her we go peeps!!!! Remember the object of my game is to win the entire tourney and not just to cash. I will incorparate a very tight style that grows with aggession according to my stack size.

Right now it's basicaly limping in with proper position,and trying to play in small pots.Low risk high reward and nothing tricky right now;There are too many donkeys at this time.3 min in and we have lost a player already!!! Speaking of hands let's remember that even though i will open push 3x the BB with what i like to call sneak hands. I will push 5x the BB with AA/KK/QQ/JJ and of course AKs.Any other hands i will only push 3-4X the BB just in case i run into a donkey or resistance.

Oh yeah one thing that i have decided to change is the tourneys that i will play.I feel that since i am once agian back down to the $5 level, i should use this as a learning experience also.For multi tourney reasons i will play $5/45's 1st game and then work down to 27&18 man.Cashing as well as playing in these tourneys will give me more sng,as well as MTT tourney experience also.Yet it offers me more money to win in the same ammount of time;While moving up in limits as well.

This also pads the inability to play multitables as well!!!!!!!

IN THIS HAND I PICK UP 33 AND THE REASON FOR NOT CALLING IS THAT I DON'T WANT TO RISK MORE THAN 3X THE BB ON A WEAK PAIR. LOOKING TO GET IN CHEAP.i ALSO WOULD NOT MAKE THIS CALL WITH POSITION THIS EARLY.
