Small Stakes Championship

I’ve been away from online poker for a couple of months now, but after seeing last week’s show “Lords of Poker” on Dutch Television, (RTL7 if I’m correct) I subconsciously felt the need to play some poker again. I dusted of my mini-notebook and logged on to my favorite Poker site.

As I already said I didn’t play for about one month and a half. This was because in middle February things didn’t really worked out for me in the magical world of Online Poker. I had some decent results though, but in the bigger tourney’s I just couldn’t win any coinflips or better at the important moments. I almost got myself a $1000 package for PKR Live II held in London, but my dream collapsed at the bubble going out at 8th place, with AQ vs. JJ on a AQJ Board, whilst the top 7 finishers were awarded! Man what did I feel stupid afterwards! I should have played more careful, but hey you only get better from making mistakes right?

After this disappointing result and some other even worse played tournaments from my side I decided to take a break and stop playing regularly. I cashed out 90% of my bankroll and bought some great stuff of it. I’m still in love with my IPod Touch and Notebook that much that I find it important enough to mention haha. Oow well I’m drifting off a bit.

So after seeing some poker on the telly I logged on PKR once again with the idea to play some small tournaments to get my A-Game back. I’m not going to play as much as I did before, I’m just too busy with some more important real life stuff and I promised to play one more Mohaa cup, some old game I used to be pretty much addicted to.

Well after logging in I saw there was a new thing almost ready to start on PKR. From March 30th to April 12th they are holding the SSC, Small Stakes Championship. 14 events with a hugh variety of games all for a really small buy-in and guaranteed prizes. A perfect opportunity for me, I would say, to get back into and improve my game and maybe if I play well to boost my bankroll a bit! At the point of writing this I already bought myself in for all the 14 events, giving me a maximum sized stack for an additional 15th event, a $2000 freeroll on April 19th.

Today I will be playing the first event in my imaginary “Little WSOP” Quest, the 4k guaranteed no limit Hold ’em 6 seater. I will report back daily with results and a little summary of how things went in every single event on this very same blog.
I’m off to play the first event, Wish me Luck!
