So, I've been doing the WSOP Freerolls on Pokerstars, in an attempt to make it to the weekly final and possibly score a seat at the WSOP. I've been gradually getting better and better, since yesterday was my first real tournament. This last one, I placed 298 out of 10,000 players, having made it past the first round. Not bad, but I need to step my game up a lot.
I slipped up and went in on some hands that weren't up to scratch. Overall, I did damn well, but I'm really the only reason I lost, in the end. I got shitty hands the whole first round (I got big slick once, but no one even bit at my tiny bet), but I played the hell out of them... second round, not so much. I got several decent hands, but I misplayed them, and at one point I ended up down to the felt, which meant I had to play even smarter and get back in the game; that did not happen.
I'm going to go over my hand history and revise my strategy and, you know, actually stick to it next time around.
