Masala Wins a seat to $1000 AP Challenge

Today i thought i would share some of my personal poker playing victories over the last two weeks. I am sharing these triumphs to prove that if you follow/pay attention to the advice that I have been giving you regarding playing Sit-n-gos, you will greatly increase you winning margins!
Over the last 2 weeks I have been playing at Paradise poker in their $3 - 10 man SNG tournys. I have played in 14 games and I have placed in the money in all 14 of them- Yeah!!! Now i am gonna say that the winning odds that I have achieved over these two weeks is rather unbelievable but what it is , is, what it is!!!
Normally I would expect to have at least a 60% winning ratio but my current winning average is 70% so, the 100% winning ratio I have had has been a very profitable 2 weeks! Please remember that this is SNG poker play in which I play a very straight forward and tight game, meaning I only play a hand that I am gonna win or I don't play.
In one of these games we were down to the last four players and I was low stack. As one of the players went all in and got called he asks me "Have you even played a hand yet?" I said, NOPE!
So, he goes all in and loses and bingo I'm in the money without ever even playing one damn poker hand!.......LOL I went on to place 2nd in that game and double my money!
Now, yesterday I played in the Absolute Poker Freerolls with around 1020 players. I am not really a freeroll player but i was bored so I played. I pretty much played minimal hands but the ones I did play I won. These tournaments only pay out to the last 18 players splitting a pot of $50. With the top 5 finishers gaining an entry To the $1000 AP Challenge tournament on that following Sunday. Anyway, I placed 2nd and won a seat to this Sundays game and $8 for placing 2nd.
All in all it has been a very good 2 weeks of poker for me! Play Tight and aggressive when you have the hand and you should start to win more often!
