    Default 180-seat S&G Poker Stars

    The $4 one though ... don't mock me for posting this, please

    I'm at the final table for the second weekend in a row. Is it easier on weekends because more "bad players" play?

    Finished 4th last time, currently 6th in chips ...

    Stakes don't matter matey, a good performance is a good performance

    Marginally worse players at certain times, but don't let that detract from your good result it's not that much of a factor.

    I played the $20 180 player tourney late last night (Saturday) and when it got down to 3 players, it was the toughest competition I've ever faced in an MTT. I've played this same tourney on weekdays and it was nothing.

    Thanks for the encouragement.

    I just seem to do an awful lot better on weekends than I do during the week!

    Down to 7 but I am short-stack.

    And with that ... I'm out in 7th. Not too pleased with my play at the final table, but at least I got there.

    7th out of 180 is defintely something to be proud of.

    Thanks for the encouragement and the kind words ... I was waiting for something that was cool for my first post as opposed to, "Hey, I finished 3rd in a one table S&G! $9 baby!"

    Looking forward to lots of poker talk in the future!

    Nice to have you on board.

    And don't worry too much about the ritual savaging you'll get the first time you post an opinion on something

    Thought I'd post in here again, instead of a new thread. I'm not owning the tourney or anything but I am again in the $4+0.40 S&G, 12th out of 22 remaining. I think I've played well, some aggressive plays, a little bit of luck (one race won), but generally solid. That's what I'm liking here - not just a lucky river or turn saving me.

    Tournament 24410798, Table 18 if you want to cheer a n00b in a low stakes tourney.

    EDIT: Gone on a bit of a rush ... am now 5th out of 13 remaining!
