    This is an up and down day in poker...

    Started out at 3:30, got home from work early. Sat down for the 20+2 game on PS (satilite to the WCOOP). Took a wopping 3 hours to finish and I Came in 2nd place, paid $1050 as a buy in into event #5 of the WCOOP, which I promptly cashed out since I have no intentions of playing a $1000 buy in tournament any time soon. Quick break for dinner and chat with the girlfriend and its poker night at our place. Game is $2 & $4 NL hold'em. At one point I was up $450. I ended the night down $250. So at 2am I say goodbye to my departing friends (school starts in a few weeks so this was our last game since people are leaveing ) And I sit back down on Pokerstars. I sit down for the 30+3 re-buy tournament and make the final table again. This time I place 5th over all and make $800 and some change. I switch over to my normal cash games and within 2 hours lose $600 (frozen cards and then 1 really stupid push with Aces when I was pretty sure I was beat =/). So I ended the night up, but man, I gotta learn to limit these losses .

      Man, my roommate plays $5 chips NL online... Crazy ups and downs.

      Sucks because he's paying his rent with winnings, so like on the 15th of the month he'll pay me for two months in a row.

      I've been playing more and more Hold 'Em, been trying to get the Nor-Cal slackers to come on over and play at my place.
      God....I guess I was probably returning videotapes.

          NJ,
          I have a few question about Pokerstars. I just started playing there a month or so ago and was wondering how to get info on the money tournaments, as in how they are ran, how to enter and is there a schedule for them?

          Either I'm not fully navigating the site or there is a lack of information available on how it all works. It's odd signing up there because they don't give you any basic information on how the site works. Granted it only took 5-10 minutes to figure out, but I think they should at least have a set of basic instructions.

              The information is inside the tournaments themselves. If you click on one of the tournaments and go to "Information" or "structure" (I'm not sure what it is) It will give you the blinds structure. As for how to register for them, you just double click on the tournament and hit the register button . Scedule for them... There are a few weekly tournaments that are regular and thus have a scedule. For example, the 500k guarenteed tournament is every Sunday afternoon. There is a 500FPP tournament every week as well as every sunday there are a bunch of $1 and $2 buy-in tournaments. I don't think there is a web version of a scedule though, which I think is a problem as well...

                      Typically they are huge. We are talking 1400 people maybe. So first place pays somewhere between $600 and $800. and it goes down from there. I think everyone at the final table usually makes about $100.
