It took a while before I started cashing, only in the 9th tournament I noted a first cash (not counting a sat win early on).
I took some time to review hands and that helped me to discover a few things already... Often I just checked down a hand where I was in position and where I was pretty sure I had the best hand. But when it wasn"t a big hand (like only top or 2nd pair), I just checked back and won a smaller pot... Lately I"ve been betting those pots more often and actually get called pretty often.
a few things I"m working on:
- I shouldn"t be too aggressive at times... especially when I have a bigger stack I play more pots (which is pretty logic) but I want to win every pot and sometimes keep betting/calling with just a gut shot or overcards... that has to stop :)
- if I raise, get reraised and another player calls, I call too often with marginal hands
- I shouldn"t be afraid to raise in early position with a decent hand... especially closer to the bubble, I"m too scared to open a pot in early position with a hand like AJs. This gets better when on the FT for example where i play more aggressively as a lot of people play scared.
I downloaded a ton of videos from DC, so I have a lot of material to learn from :)
Thanks everyone for supporting me so far; if you see me play and you have remarks or want to check the hand histories, please feel free to let me know. Because: If I win, you win :)
So far there have been ups and downs, but I feel confident I"m heading in a good direction.
All in all it"s a pretty good start; but I"m sure that more good is around the corner!

Congrats on the results so far, obviously doing a similar thing to on full tilt, it"s nice to get a profit for the investors.
I used to subscribe to deuces cracked but changed to tournament poker edge, it"s about $15 a month and since I subscribed my results and my play has changed so much for the better.
good luck for the rest of the stake.
I also have a similar one running on Stars with some non poker playing mates, unfortunately I am down on that one, they are all ok about it but feel a bit bad telling them about winnings elsewhere, thought I was in for a big one over last two days 2 deep runs in the big $33, got $260 but stil $150 off starting roll.

Thx for the tip; already heard good things about Poker Edge elsewhere as DC is less focusses on MTT and more on cash game. I found a few good MTT videos there, so I"m going to take a look in the next few weeks.
And after that maybe will give Poker Edge a try... $15 a month is not bad, although you can"t download videos there, right?
Good luck with your challenges!!
