As I said when I started this journey, I want to be more than a winning player at one game. Well, I started spreading my wings by playing No-Limit Sit & Go’s. While the game is still Hold’em, No-Limit is very different from Limit, and tournament strategy is quite different from ring game strategy.
So far, I’ve had good results with 2 wins, 4 second places, and 1 third. That means I’m cashing half the time, and usually for a first or second place prize. Sweet. Although I recently heard about one player who can play 43 at once.
I also entered two Multi-Table Tournaments. One was a No-Limit Freeroll with 5,051 players, where I barely cashed (ended up in 737 place). The other was a low buy-in Limit Tournament with 432 entrants. I ran out of steam and ended up 213. I really don’t understand Limit Tournaments, I think, but I want to learn.
The other advantage of playing sit & go’s and tournaments is that I’m actually raking up Frequent Player Points. The .02/.04 Limit cash games don’t build a rake high enough to earn FPPs, but the entry costs for sit & go’s and tournaments do. I’ve created a Goals page, and you can see that one goal is to earn 2,000 FPPs to get a book I’ve had my eye on.
