PokerStars Sunday $200K... early exit

Early in the tournament with blinds at $75/$150, in the big blind with Q 10. After reviewing the hand to write this blog, I shouldn't have called the extra $150 out of position against two callers to begin with... then the flop completely misses me, everyone checks around and the turn comes a J giving me a straight draw and I make a stupid call of $900 chasing... how amateur. Ace comes on the river to complete my straight but gives the other guy a full house. BAD POKER just simply bad tournament poker playing all around on my part.

More Online Play

In the last 24 hours I have played one SNG and one MTT. I am disappointed in my result from the MTT as I was in great chip position and got distracted and made a call I shouldn't have made. I am trying to focus on MTT's online for awhile as that's my weakest game. I also started to play 7 card stud online which has been fun. It's fun to mix things up. I'm playing at the micro levels but I have to tell you, with Hold'em being the popular game, there are a lot of novice players in stud and even at the micro games, I'm winning money which adds to the fun factor.
