I am playing in a local MTT tournament in NY. It the buy-in is $50 plus $15 for the house. Most online grinders will say the rake is too high but the field is so soft that is very profitable. There are between 35-50 runners and the top prize is between $900-$1300. They normally pay 3 tops and the 4th place player gets a seat in the next game.
I normally take the tournament down once a month, and I cash 1-2 times each month. The players are so bad and so nasty. They are one of the reasons that I didn't play poker full time, I didn't want to be like them. I didn't want to be like those overweight, smelly, sloppy, bad skin, angry, ugly people. I was turning into one of them. I made a lot of money but my social life suffered.
At the time I reached that point of no return I met a person that took me his wing and gave me a new career.
I just ran deep in today's tournament. I ran my trips to the villains trips with a bigger kicker. It's hard to run so deep and not win it. I am happy I played better, I made a good all-in bet with 99 on a Q high. I opened UTG with villain 3bet on the button. The villain slow played AA earlier and I have seen him squeeze A7o so I felt that he was weak. I wanted to see a flop and go all-in any flop without a ace or K. I pushed and called off with just K high. It ran true and I built a nice stack.
I need to get better at reading weakness. I end up in to many 50/50 pots. I need to push them out more on turns and flops. I still have many holes in my tourament game.
