Transition to tourneys.

[the_rookie]

I can't seem to be patient in these damn things. I used to play tourneys back in the day and did ok in them. But lately I get frustrated from putting in two hours plus only to be knocked out on the bubble.

The mentality of a cash game player is hard to break in that I want something to show for putting in a couple hours at the table ya know?

SO how do you guys stay focused at tournaments? Do you just have a bunch of cash game tables running, watch tv, listening to music? What's your strategy? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My strategy is to avoid donkaments because they put me on life-tilt.

I played in the Raketherake tourney last Sunday and had 11 cash game tables going at the same time to keep me occupied. Donkaments suck a$$ but it's so easy to money in the rakeback tournies. I don't know how you don't get bored playing just 1 tourney at a time.

The only tourney I actually focus on is the Sun Mil.

For other tournies I either have cash game tables going or I'm watching a movie or something else to occupy myself (until I get deep of course then I'll pay attention).

Also, lol donkaments ldo.

I would consider killing yourself before starting to play tournies.

Will just save you some time instead of doing it later.

You guys are horrible. *chuckle*

When I play tourney's, usually I'm watching TV or playing on the internet until I'm deep into one where I have to start concentrating.

In other words, I'm a crap shoot. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
