Off Tilt

It took me a couple of hours to get over the KK vs AK beatdown that I took deep into an MTT. I have been doing pretty good lately with the MTTs I have been playing. The pattern I have observed most is tilting seems to be part of my repertoire. That is one bad play I need to weed out of my arsenal.

As for Step 3 on PS, yes I made it to Step 4 and have a 215 ticket. Now I am not sure if I should play step 4 and seek glory or bide my time to use this ticket for a big MTT. Any suggestions are welcome! Playing a 215 buyin would be out of character with the low buyin tourneys I have been playing. But heck, why not give it a shot right, its like playing a tourney with 7.50 buyin.

UTG Raise - KTo

What is it with KTo raise UTG. I have seen this happen so many times over the weekend that I have lost count. Is it the new AA hand that I am unaware of? I have seen so many players raise with KTo, seriously, not even suited? And they have actually followed on to a reraise behind! Does anyone out there think that more players are categorizing KT as a favorite hand and are mostly playing it or what exactly could be the reason behind it. Anyways, I guess KTo won around 80% of the time against the different hands I had seen dealt. From my end, hell no, I would much rather stay away from that hand. I read somewhere couple of months back that KT is one of the worst hands to play with even in late position and had put it in my mind. But now I see evidence contrary to that advice.
