Nice to see a new blog on the forum, and a blog focused on tournaments..

Good luck on your way to the big tounaments. It would be cool with graphs and stuff. That always makes a blog more interesting to read imo..

Just wanted to give you a clue of what i have watched and read so far.

DVD's:

Phil Helmuths Million Dollar Online Poker Secrets

Book's:
The Intellligent Guide to Texas Hold em Poker - Sam Braids
And the articles I can read as a Branze member here at PokerStrategy

Thanks Kimber88.

Where would the best place for retrieving graph be, so they are easy for to integrete here.

For tounaments I have only tried Poker Tracker 3, which can be tried free dor 60 days. That is really reccomendable. If you check the first post in my SnG blog you can see a graph taken from there..

Well the first tournament i have a report from is from an 11$ / 3500$ guaranteed.
441 entered and i ended up in the money 28, and won 17.61$. Thats ofcourse better than nothing, but I missread the last hand and thats rather irritating. Well here it is:

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 3000 Tournament, 500/1000 Blinds 125 Ante (7 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop | saw showdown

UTG (t38212)
MP1 (t21403)
MP2 (t30581)
CO (t13341)
Hero (Button) (t14619)
SB (t32145)
BB (t25553)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J♠, Q♠
2 folds, MP2 calls t1000, 1 fold, Hero raises to t4000, SB raises to t10000, 2 folds, Hero calls t6000

Flop: (t22875) 5♣, 2♠, Q♣ (2 players)
SB bets t22020 (All-In), Hero calls t4494 (All-In)

Turn: (t31863) 8♦ (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: (t31863) 3♣ (2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: t31863
Main pot: t31863 between Hero and SB, won by SB

Results in grey below:
Hero had J♠, Q♠ (one pair, Queens).
SB had A♥, A♦ (one pair, Aces).
Outcome: SB won t31863

Very bad call here, i should have folded when he reraised me !
But hopefully i will be able to keep my head cold at the next tournament.

Edit:
My playing style according to Tournament Indicator: Tight-Agressive.
Hands played: 185
VP$IP: 14%
PFR: 9%
AF: 3.7
WSD: 43%
WSDW: 56%

Just finished another sit'n'go, this time a 3.40$ / 18 player, I managed to pull off a 2nd place and won 16.20$. This was on PokerStars, so the money was very needed.
Well there is not really more from this tournament.

But more will come later, Im playing a 6000$ guaranteed on Titan.
