A mixed bag!

Logged on too late for the $4 mtt on Laddies so i had a stab at the $1 turbo mtt,i fucking hated it!! Wont do that again,its shove or dump with the 3 minute blinds obviously,on a 10 seater with players in a dream the blinds were increasing every orbit!! Out of 250ish people i busted in 130ish,no cards etc blah,blah!!!! So it was on to the $20stt, i finished in the top 5 for $40 which was a result,no dramas at all,just play tight early doors & give it the beans as the blinds kick in,i think i only played 3 hands before the bubble,nice & easy does it (as the Stranglers once sung!)
So after looking around i plumped for a $5 stt deep stack job! 4000 chips to start on a stt is different for me,i kept raising as if i had started with the normal 1500,then seeing people re raise all the time!! Never mind 4 or 5 times the BB raises,players raised more as they had more!! O well,after shedding a few chips when i should not have i finished in 2nd for $15 which i cant grumble at.My BR stands at $416 which is double what i started at,pissing about trying to learn the cash tables nearly screwed me (no more of that!) but 2 final table cashes in 4 days in the $2k gtd freerolls have built me up. Nothing risky till the new year then maybe concentrate on mtt,s (if i can find any on Laddies that is!!) gl all ...laterz
