I have the biggest success in my online tournament playing on canbet tonight; 151st among 6528 players.

Every night the website has one free roll tournament which is open to everyone that has an account; the other free roll tournaments are for players who have played on the website in the past 24 hours. Because it is free for everyone, every night about 7000 players will play in this free roll tournament, making it a very difficult game.

I know that I am better in cash games rather than tournament playing. The best poker players in the world all play in the big tournaments all over the world nowadays, and I think I need to sharpen up my tournament playing skills. So novice players like tournament playing than cash games; you cannot win consistently in high stakes cash games if you do not have the skills, but if you have a lot of luck sometimes you can go very far in a tournament. All experts say the main event at the World Series of Poker today is a lottery.

I am not sure if I will play in Las Vegas one day, but I want to do better in tournaments. The average player in general plays very poorly in tournaments, they rely very heavily on their luck to do well. Expert player plays tournaments very carefully and in a calculated manner, and I know I need to do well in this area.

Of course, the immediate reason for practicing tournament playing is the Asian Poker Tour and the APPT Macau in late August and September. I need to be there and I cannot wait to play in what is probably the biggest tournament event in Asia so far.
