First of all, it's my first post, and I'm glad to find this place. Talking to the guys who I play poker with regularly is maddening, since I kick their butts, and they don't help me improve.
Anyway, I used to play Single table tourneys on Golden Palace ($25) and did quite well. My guess is because they are Brits there and simply don't play hold em that much. But the site was too slow so I switched to PartyPoker. I stunk it up there because the blind levels go to fast, and it hurt my tight/aggressive style, since I was often pot commited and resigned to luck.
I found a home at PokerStars and went to the $30 tables, where I proceeded to get killed. So I switched to the $20 and have been winning ever since. I finally decided to keep tabs on my games -- here are my places in the last 30 tournaments:
1 = 7 times
2 = 5
3 = 2
4 = 8
5 = 3
6 = 1
7 = 3
8 = 0
9 = 1
I have two questions.
1) What do you think my winning frequency/criteria should be before I go back to $30?
2) What is the deal with all of my 4th place finishes? As you all know, better 9th than 4th.
Thanks for the help, and I hope I can offer some advice as well.
