My Recent Tournaments at partypokercom

Posted by Trix @ 12:00 AM, Tuesday Jul 15th, 2008

Over the past few days I have been turning my attention to the ‘Battle of the Planets’ Sit and Go tournament (SNG) promotion on Pokerstars and sites like partypokercom.

I will be trying to get on to the leaderboard at partypoker.com for this week and if my recent results at the five card draw SNG’s are anything to go by I should make it with relative ease.

For some reason players seem very weak at five card draw, failing to notice the simple things like how many cards a person is swapping and the clear information about their hand that this gives you.

I suppose other lesser played poker games are similar, you always find a contingent of Holdem or Omaha players who got bored and decided to try something different. We all have to start somewhere with every game of course, and it is nice to see that you can get a table filled in reasonably good time at a lesser played game such as five card draw.

Other than this over the past few days at www.partypoker.com, I have had a few cashes in multi table tournaments in Omaha hi/lo and No Limit Holdem gaurantee tournaments, although these can be very time consuming and tiring if you do well.

My agenda for this week then will mostly consist of trying to play twenty SNG’s at five card draw as you have to in order to qualify, and hopefully place reasonably well in the top 100 leaderboard. I am very much overdue this SNG type of play as I have spent a lot of time in online poker Multi Table Tournaments recently and so playing twenty isn’t as much as a chore as it seems.

Besides, I wouldn’t want to make a final table at a Multi Table Tourney and find that I wasn’t at all sharp with the short handed style of play.
