UPDATE: 4TH August Graph.
At least I'm in the green. 
Even though today was only a increase of $2.08 I feel like I'm going from strength to strength.
Extremely confident at the moment but I'm definitely not going to get my hopes up.
My VP$IP has been dropping by around .80 each day so I'm defiantly playing a tighter game now, more suitable for a SSS.
3 MORE DAYS TO GO before I start playing for a prize pool worth $1,000,000.
I'm really excited.
I've probably mentioned it before in other threads but It's my blog and i'll do what I like, 
Tournament Of Champions (TOC) will be the Live tournament I will be participating in on from the 8th of August. It's a 3 day tournament with 10k starting bank and relaxed blinds (most probably 1hr) starting at 25/50 and 1,000+ runners.
Should I be playing any tournament that fits into my bankroll with as many runners as possible?
I will be reading the articles on here on SnG/Tournaments and probably the psychological aspects.
Well I'm off to have a session now.
Wish me luck.
And I'll be eagerly awaiting some reply's.
ToC is with APL? If so read the SNG/Tournament section here before attending.
With just basic poker knowledge and tight playstyle and knowledge from PS my 2 mates have been constantly making final tables and deep into the monthly winners tournaments.
If this is your first live long event i just recommend few basic things gathered from my experience with the horrible poker scene in Newcastle.
Start off extremely tight you will be constantly seeing pots of 1k+ preflop in the 10/20 blind stages. Only play premium hands and try not to mix up 2 much with maniacs there will be lots.
Be mentally ready for an endurance battle. The majority of players who have won toc seats have never played poker for more than a couple of hours at a time. They will rush there game and generally make many mistakes.
Except for this yeh read up on some icm play i guess can really help when they blinds get a little crazy not sure how well it applies to mtt though. And also read up on m-zone or something on basically how much room your have to maneuvere with your chip stack
Best of luck to you
I'm silver again.

I didn't end up having another session, I decided to re-read some articles and watch some video's.
So here is my graph for 5th August. (my first day in the red for my blog :()
Down $1.07 plus another $1.20 for playing a MTT to try win a $5.50 ticket, every 6 players or so win a ticket, it's kind of like playing steps.
I didn't feel like playing SSS so I thought i'd play one of them.
So I'm only $2.27 down for the day, fingers cross I can get back into the green.
Wish me luck.

Haha. OK, well how do I make my signature a link to my own blog?
example, "justkyle88 BLOG" but as a link to my actual blog.

Use the "Add link" button when you type your signature...
Doesn't seem to be working.
I type in "justkyle88" where it says name of link
AND
where it says to enter the address i have copied and pasted the address of the home page of my blog and it doesn't come up with the link, just the address
As you can see below.
Wish I was good with computers, ♦
Hey kyle,
you need to unmark something in the options when you create your signature to make the link work, should be "deactivate BB ode" imo.

i cant find anything to unmark, I don't know where i'm going wrong.
Hey.
Well I have some HUGE news.
here's the out-lay.
Just over 1000 runners.
$1mil in the pool.
Top 100 get paid.
People from all around Australia.
3 Days.
Played for a total of approx 20 hours.
Here's my results:
Cashed $3,000.
Placed 23rd.
Nearly cried twice.
Hit a 2 outer.
Got donked by a 1 outer, (seeing as though I feel it was the best hand I've ever played).
Went out on 5,6o against Q,Q and 6,6. ♦
I thought I was live but I only had 2.1BB and half of that went to BB.
I think that was my only mistake, I should of folded and hoped 3 more people got felted in 7 hands then I would of won a total of $5,000. maybe more if I chipped up and hung in there.
But I've learnt so much from it and thought I played the best poker of my life so far.
Huge experience for me.
Wow! Really well done! That's alotta runners and to place so high! Very well done! ♦:D!
