I went looking for some different poker venues. I found my way to the Full Tilt Poker web site, the free one where you play for points, not money. I played a few tournaments, and its clear to me (using the points anyway) that the tournament style is much different.
I played some cash (points) games and did okay. Took my points balance from 1000 to 4500. Played some sit-n-go tournaments and realized my style of play wasn’t going to work very well. As soon as the tournament began, many around the table went all-in. Matter of fact, it was an all-in festival. Whereas on ESPN it takes about 30 minutes thin half the field, on this site it takes about 7 minutes. J It took me a bit to adjust my playing style, but not before I blew through about half those points I earned.
I then went back and built my points back up again, and joined a 630 player sit-n-go that apparently was a super satellite for the Aussie Millions tournament. Didn’t know that as I played it. I did pretty well, finishing 10th out of 630. One player shy of the final table, so not too shabby. :-)
