I guess I kind of suck at sit and go tournaments.

I had a bunch of bad beats the last 5 hours. I think it's the dollar buy in SitNGo tournaments you get a lot of maniacs. I was beat with aces in the hole against 9 5 off suited. The most painful I had a flush king high, and was beaten with a straight flush 45678. Awful! The worse part is I had about 4 four of a kinds today (yesterday) and no action! Unreal! I took a bit of a beaten then once again went to the cash games and walked away with 20 bucks on a .10/25 blinds. Which is pretty amazing. A guy was playing his straight very slow that he got on the flop and I caught the full house on the river. He went all in with $12.00 and I took it all. The cash games are so much easier, you can just play good hands if you like. Unlike tournaments you are forced to bet or the blinds will eat you alive. The good news with the SitNGos is that the last two games I came in 3rd and 1st. I told myself do what the books say, I was discipline and did well. For whatever reason it's very hard to do what you know you should do. A hand a round is all you need (if that), steal a few blinds here and there. I did that and it went well!

Once the bankroll is up is up to $100 bucks and I am atleast making the money 50% of the time I am moving up to the 3.40 tournaments. I am almost due for my $25.00 sign up bonus from pokerstars.net!

My bankroll is up 40%
