In the last post I posted the print screen of the tournament lobby for the 4 max tourney I won. That was my first tourney victory, and of course it felt good, The next day I had to try to analyze what I did well to win the thing: 1st of all, I ran good, I guess you have to if you're going to win. Then, it's a shoutout and I have more experience in SNGs than anything else, but 9 handed and multi table. But here is what I really realized. I was way more aggressive that the rest of the table on each of the 5 tables I played. After a couple hands, I completely dominated and easily took away my opponents chips. The hardest table was the final one, 4 pretty aggressive players, you really need to be very aggressive in 4 max.

Anyway, I won 276 for my efforts and was up to like 390. I burned some on Sat. in some 33 tournies and 6.5 SNGs. Evening was coming and I had less than 1 hour before I'd go out, so I decided to try a $13 buck 6 max 1 table SNG. Aggression is back and ship it. I go out, come back wasted from my party at 4 AM but still want to play so I open up another $13 bucks 6 max: I take 2nd, bot bad considering I could barely open my eyes. Next morning, same game strait out of bed: ship it, I fail to cash in the next one, so i launch a $25 six max and ship.

So thats five 6 max SNG, ship 3, 2nd in one and one fail. Not bad, plus my roll just shot up to $450 (yay! I'm a winning player online!) So now I'm thinking maybe short handed is the game for me. I'll try some more of those and see.
