I cashed out at Bodog after a little episode with
their support people. Their new software frze on me during a tournament
where I had the lead. They denied this, basically accusing me of lying. Why
then did they make and "exception" and refunded the entry fee? Never mind. I
had exactly $11 bonus credit left in my Bodog account, which I had to spend.
I normally play poker late at night, when there is no distraction. I played
this tournament during daytime hours which is a bad idea with the phone
ringing and other distractions. The game was in exact contrast to the
previous day - no cards came. I really need to work on being more patient
when the cards don`t come, which is hard when you try to play a tight
strategy.

I have added a TIPS article about how to play in a sit and go when you get bad cards, or what you perceive to be "bad cards". There is a lot to be said for a tight strategy, but it requires a certain context (high chip stack, run of solid cards) to work in a short tournament. This is an important lesson to grasp...
