Day 30

Just gonna be quick about this today didnt play much. Played 4 sngs, 2 holdem and 2 horse and 1 mtt. I ended up having three cashes. Got heads in both holdems and took 1 first and a 2nd. The 2nd I was ahead and lost to k8 to aq and then he came back and won. In the Horse I took 2nd in 1 and bubbled in the other, with some really poor play by me at the end. The mtt I made the final table only to donk out in 9th again with a marginal hand obv. Anyway for not playing very long still had a decent day winning $45.

Tip of the Day: For 7 card stud beware of playing small to medium pairs. Often times I see people who get a pair of 9's or 10's in their first cards and raise. Then when they get reraised with someone holding a K or A showing they call. This isnt the worst idea, I mean you have to see another card once you have that much in but after 4th street and 5th street if they continue to bet and you done improve to trips or a really good draw you need to dump your hand. This is how you lose alot of chips/money by chasing people who probably have a better hand than you. Unless your in late position in a 7 stud tournament or horse tourn you should just dump your smaller pair. Dont just call with it, fold it you will save money and you can wait for better spots. Most of all before you consider your cards look around the table and consider what other people might have. You need to remember what cards have been shown on the board if your in the hand to know your odds on each street. In Stud it is more important what other people might have than what you hold. Remember this and you will be a much better stud player
