So this weekend I played a lot of poker. I lost a lot of money playing all this poker, because I only made two final tables. On sunday I ft'ed the afternoon 20r on FTP, finishing 6th, when I called an all in with 88 as the short stack, only to have shaundeeb reshove behind me with KK!. Original all in guy had A5ss, and made a runner runner flush, so I came in 3rd in the hand. Cashed for like 1200 for this. Later that night, I ft'ed the 30r on FTP. Took 8th for ~600 when my AQ < QJ. GG. I'm on a decent downswing the last week, about 4k total, but that's to be expected, since I was up 20k the previous week, these things will happen. My new focus has been winning small MTTs, mostly sattys to FTOPS, as roll builders / confidence boosters. I've won 3 seats to FTOPS6, the 300+22 buy in, and the satellitte challenge leader for this event has won 5 seats. I might take this seriously and try to win this challenge, just because it will give me something to shoot for.
Speaking of FTOPs, so far I've won seats in events 1 (NL 216), 3 (PL 216), 6 (NL 322), 8?(7stud 216), ME (530). I've invested about 600 in FTOPS qualifiers, so this puts me way ahead, considering the cash from the 2 other Event 6 seats covers all my buyins.
Another point of interest is I achieved Iron Man status for the month on FTP, and silver VIP status for the month on Stars. Iron man is the top level of FTP, so I'll play in a 30k freeroll without a lot of people. Maybe I'll win? Silver vip on stars is level 2 of their 6 levels or so, so not that big of a deal, but you gotta start somewhere.
I plan to play tonight, so I'll try to get a good update in for tomorrow.
GG

Thursday's Results = 1000.00
I didn't get a chance to start the Hendon Mob shootout 1 until 2:45, so I missed a good portion of the first hour. I never really got much going and busted on a wierd hand. I have QKdd, villain raises 3x in mp. I call on button. Flop is 9s10dAd. He leads out for 300 into ~500. I call. Turn brick, He leads out 1200, I raise him to 3200. He waits and calls. River 9h, he checks, I ship in my last 2500 on a prayer, he calls with 89dd. GG, sucks that 5 outer on the river or else he is deffinetly folding. If not, why wouldnt he just get it all in on the turn? Oh well.
I also lost a 60 sng, 36 sng, and 26 mtt during this time span. Then I played some Omaha hi lo. I played 5/10 and 3/6, walked away after an hour with ~200 profit. Down 100 for the afternoon, I can deal. I went out on this boat cruise at night, and came home moderately drunk. I decided to play 6 max 5/10 no limit. I know what you're thinking- bye bye bankroll. I actually watched the game for 20 minutes before joining though, so I had a good feel for the game. I bought in short for 500 at two tables. First hand of one table I pick up A10cc. UTG raises to 35, I call. Flop is 2c10sJc. He bets 60, I call. Turn is Js. He bets 150- I thought this was a scared bet, so I decided to ship it. Good read, he insa calls J8 and I brick out. I reload for 500 at this table. On the other table, I take down a couple pots, and am sitting with 600. I get KK on the sb, utg raises to 35, utg+1 calls, co calls, button calls, I raise to 150 and take it down. 150 pot gets me to 750. Then I flop a set of 4s and win 40 bucks, flop a set of 7s on the bb v sb and win 50 bucks, I have about 825 in front of me when I get 99. UTG whose been active raises to 50, I call. Flop is 772, check check. Turn 4, check check. River 2, I value bet pot ~135, he calls with AK. I should deffinetly bet the turn there, but I'm a nit. I left this table the next orbit up 460.
Back to my other table. After rebuying I started playing more aggro, and built up to 600 when following hand came up. MP raises to 35, i call on button with AJ, sb makes it 120. I look him up, flop is kqj. He bets 80, I call. Turn J. He shoves in, I call. He has KQ, AJ for me wins. 1200 stack now. I hung out another orbit or so and then let here, leaving myself up a little over a grand at 5/10 for the night. This isn't something I plan to do regularly, but I thought the game looked weak and went with it. GG.
I'm going to foxwoods in a few hours, I'll post results etc tomorrow.

Wednesday's Results = ??????
Die Full Tilt. Full Tilt's server decided to crash for the ~10th time this year last night, right around 10:30pm. Such a shitty time for a crash, as this was when all the big tourneys are going on. Per their tournament cancellation policy, I guess I'll get my buy in plus a bit back, weee. What really sucks is that I was in the 6max 100r on FTP, really short, and lost two hands before the disconnect. Would have been nice if I outlasted that to recoup some of the 1000 I donated to that tournament. I hate that the 100r on FTP is 6 max, I'm going to stop playing it. 9 way rebuys are much better IMO. Do I have results to support this? Stay tuned...
So I was down ~1200 in buy ins on FTP, but I'll probably get ~ 250 back for the 30 rebuy (I was top 10 stack when FTP went busto). Down 1k on FTP for the night sucks though, esp because the 30 rebuy field is so weak and First was ~6k last night.
On the PokerStars front, their website didn't crash, because they have good servers! So I played the 320 buy in weekly tournament last night, and the following came up:
I'm on button with AJs (2500 chips), MP 3x raise to 90, lag cutoff smooth calls, I call, sb folds, BB raises to 500. Original raiser folds, and lagtard calls. Maybe this is my first mistake, but I call, and here is why- BB's huge reraise screams 99-QQ to me here, and I don't think the CO has AQ or AK, because he would have reraised the MP player. So anyway I call, we see a flop of 99A. Flop can be so much trouble for me, because if my read is off, and there is a better Ace out there, I'm gonna lose some money. BB and CO both check to me, and I decide to take the free card- not a whole lot of cards that kill me here if I'm putting them on lower pairs, and if they're checking an ace i'm behind. Turn falls a magical J. BB checks, and CO bets 600. Pot now has 2200 in, and I have 2000 chips. I decide to shove, with my thought being that if I was wrong and he has Ak or Aq I get called, and with the J he might call with Ax because the J kicker plays. Folds around to cutoff who hollywoods me for whole timebank, then calls with 89. WTF?! I thought a 9 was out of his range once the BB made it 500 to go at 15/30, bad read I guess. GG 320.
Also played the stars 20 rebuy, which you might remember I took 2nd in Friday night. I decided I didn't want to spew tons of money in the rebuy period if possible, because my game has been leaking in this regard lately. One guy at my table is shoving every hand though. 5 hands in I get 77, limp, full table of limpers, aggro guy shoves 3k. I say fck it and call, and so does button. They show AJ and 55. Flop 447, turn 5, no one outer on river and I'm up to 9k. Weeee. I decide at this point to see flops cheap and only get it in pre with solid (read 99+,AK) holdings. We hit the break and I have 13k after the rebuy. Wait, I only spent 60 bucks on the 20rebuy?! That's amazing!!
Shortly after break ends, I play Aces badly and dont get all of some fish's chips when he has QQ on a 22673 board. I have 16k when Apestyles moves to my direct right. At this point he has 25k, top 10 stack. He is raising a lot of fold arounds, so I start floating him, but not hitting any flops. I take down a pot off a short fish and I'm at 18k, Ape has 24k, when the following comes up. I'm BB he is SB. I have QTo. Ape 4x the fold around at 200/400, and I defend. Flop is 358, two diamonds. He leads for 3200, I float. Turn is 7, he checks, I bet 4400, he calls. River comes an Ace. He waits and checks. For some reason I think the Ace put him in check call mode, like maybe he had an A high diamond draw or something. I decide to shove in my last 10k. He waits out his whole time bank and folds. Success! I'm up to 28k and he has 14k. I float him next hand with KT0 on his fold around 4x, and BB reraises to 4800. Ape calls, and I do to. Flop is 4KT rainbow (Luckbox = me). BB checks, Ape bets 4800, I min raise to 9600, BB folds, Ape min raises to 14400, I wait and call. I thought to get it all in here, but I didn't want to lose him. Turn is a 7 of hearts, putting a heart draw on the board. He checks, I bet 5200, he folds. GG up to ~50k, chipleader. Micon gets moved to our table at this point and has my button. Ape is elliminated in a few hands, and I stay around 50k until we get down to 90 ppl left (45 pay). I 3x to 2400 utg with AKdd, tight player shoves in for 15k. I call he shows TT, he flops a 10 and I'm down to 39k. Now the table has tightened up, and Micon starts raising my BB. He raises and I repop once and take it down with A5o. Next orbit he raises 3x, I reraise to 10x with 55 on the sb. He shoves in for 25k, I wait a few seconds then decide to call- I figure with my repop last time his range is wide enough here that there is a 75% chance we're flipping, so its a call. He shows AK, and bricks out. I pull in here with 68k. I get moved now to a new table, get repopped my first hand and am down to 50k. This table was a rollercoaster for me, I was up and down the whole time. Get as high as 95k, as low as 25k. With 60 ppl left JohnnyBax comes to my table, as do all the railbird fags. Around this time I get JJ, at 2500/5000, I make it 15k with 60k total. BB reraises to 40k, I shove he calls with AKss. I take down another flip and have 140k. Crazy thing is that at this point I am 8th in chips, but 4th at my table. Makes it hard to abuse the bubble needless to say. With 47 ppl left, UTG limps, I have TT on the button and make it 20k. TAG player on SB calls, as does utg. 70k in the pot preflop here, big time. Flop AdJxTd. Both players check to me, I bet 30k, sb calls, utg, who only has 27k left, tanks and folds. Turn is 7h. Check, I bet 40k, he shoves. I'm like ughhh QK? I call he shows AJ brick out and I have ~300k. BTW, small stack claims to have folded AK. Fish.
I'm chip leader here and decide to keep it tight. 10 hands later I get TT utg. 3x to 18k. SB and BB call. Flop Ac4c10x. SB checks, I bet 30k, he raises to 60k, I shove, he calls (started hand with 180k) with AQo. no runner runner and I have 550k. Time for me to really tighten up now. I tighted till we get to two tables left, and my stack gets kind of low after a few tough hands. I raise 3x to 24k on button with KT spades. BB calls, flop AsJs4x, and he open shoves 120k. Pokerstove his range as any ace rag, and we're a coinflip. I call he shows A3o, turn K, giving me 14 outs to the river, I brick out and am down to 400k. Next hand its 5k/10k, Shorty shoves 98k, I call with 99 on the SB and his A5 gets there to knock me down to 300k. I get reshoved on a button raise and am down to 270k. We're down to 12 ppl left, and my table is letting me get away with a lot of raises, and I work my way up to 450k when we finally get to final table. GB2005 and some Norway kid Bjullo or something are only players I recognize at final table. GB is short though and busts in 9th. I go down to 210k on a couple raises reshoved on and a hand I played like shit, when we get 6 way. I start raising and reshoving and fight my way back into the tournament. 4 way arrives and it is Bjullo 1.1mm to my right, TAG two to my right 1.4mm, weak tight to my left 250k, me 450k. Bjullo decided to double up weak tighty with k7 vs his A8, so now the two smalls are even and the two bigs are even. Bjullo is playing like shit and running like god, when following comes up. 10k/20k, I'm button. Bjullo utg min raise to 40k. I see TT, which has been my hand this tourney. I ship 480k into the pot. As I told Bluechip on the phone, I'm value shoving because he will call me so light. Sure enough, he commits another 440k with A7o LOL ROFLMAO. Flop is 552, two hearts, turn A of hearts!!!!, and I don't hit my river heart or 10, and I'm out in 4th. 3001 dollars paid, but would have been nice to hold there- I double and I can take it down. Oh well, can't complain about another 4 figure final table score, and final tabling this tourney twice in a weeks time is impressive. GG me. Pending my FTP reimbursements, I spent ~1500 on buyins for a profit of +1500 for the night. GG.
Hendon Mob shootouts start today, which I won seats in by beating Bluechip heads up in a MTT satty two weeks ago (brag post). Hopefully I'll win and he will get 2nd.
GG GL TTYL TYVM GFKY.

Tuesday's Results = ~(400.00)
OK so I'm a fish. I made a spreadsheet of my sng grinding last night, but neglected to mark down whether each sng was a 119 turbo or 60 turbo. Accordingly, the spreadsheet is screwed for the night and I don't know my exact results. I'm fairly confident I was down a couple hundo though... gg bankroll management not knowing what you're results are at the end of the night. Anyway though the spreadsheet got screwed because of my tilt. I was 8 tabling sngs, 4 119 turbos on my left monitor, 4 60 turbos on the right monitor. After I made it to the top 5 of all 8, only to take an astonishing 3 5ths and 5 4ths, I fired up a new set of 8. When I went to tile the tables, however, the 60's and 119's got mixed up (ie didnt stay on their respective monitors). I didn't realize this on the next set, so as I would busto from one on the right I assumed it was a 60, and a 119 for the left, which was wrong. I didn't realize my mistake till the end of my 3rd session, when I won two 60 sngs only to realize they were both 119s. Wee that was good, but I'm pissed that I screwed up the spreadsheet. Oh well, will have to be more careful next time.
Tonight I don't have anything to do, except put the new rims on my car (ty full tilt), so I'll run all the multi tables. Schedule tentatively:
7pm 75 FTP, 109 PS
8pm 163 FTP, 26 FTP
8:30 33rebuy FTP
9pm 162 PS, 22rebuy PS
Hopefully I can keep the spreadsheet together for these results.
Also, I may be going to foxwoods friday night, so I'm going to have to think about how to keep accurate results from my live session, since I'll likely be getting very drunk once I'm done poker. GG TTYL

I started the night off with my normal schedule, plus I fired up 3 109 turbo mtts and 2 265 sng qualifiers to the monday $1k. I lost 7 straight flips and didnt win one of the qualifiers. I decided to buy right in to the $1k, where I finished around 80th of 350 with 36 places paid. I was absolutely card dead, it was comical- I do think this tournament is +EV, because a lot of the people who qualify are just too weak to ever have success in this field. Regardless though, that cost me ~2000 between the buy in and the qualifiers. I plan on only playing it if I qualify in the future, but since I was up alot last week I decided to take a shot. BTW, first place in this tourney was 80k- it's just sick to think of a field of less then 400 people paying out that much money.
Nothing too exciting to report on the mtt's in my normal schedule - I bubbled the 109 on stars on a stupid bluff, and lost the 55k on full tilt when my JJ ran into KK on the big blind.
I won't get to play my normal mtt's tonight because I have a softball game, so it will be sngs for me. I'll post a chart tomorrow of how I do.

Sunday's Results = (2005.00)
Shitty fcking Sunday in progress. I'm out of everything, all I have left if 10% equity in Bluechip in the 200 horse on FTP.
Basic rundown of the day- I played every major on FTP and PStars and did not cash in one mtt. Not one - lol @ running bad. I also played the two 100 rebuys on PStars. I played them very tag, not wanting to donk off too much money in them. I lost the first 100r when my AK < AQ from Intervntion. Sweet. Lost the second one with KQ to AQ. Down ~1500 on stars for the night.
On to FTP- got jacked up in the MTT's, the only legit run I made was in the Mulligan, where I made the 3rd hour. Never got a whole lot going on, and got my money in with 8k behind and AJ vs 88. Flopped the J, turn an 8, gg. Also just ended my night getting 3rd in a qualifier to the 1k monday where it paid a seat for top 2- did get 440 for 3rd though, helps stop the bleeding a bit. Down ~500
No Graphs today since I was on a different computer- back to normal tomorrow.

Saturday's Results = (426.30)
Not Much to say about Saturday- only big tourney I played was the 320 afternoon mtt on Stars. Stayed around average until 2nd hour when I chipped up to 11k, a top 10 stack, with 99 v AQ hh when I called an all in from a known 100r player on a 10x2x2h4h turn. I dodged 15 outs on the river and was in good shape. A very loose player raised my bb and I called with 89. Flop came 249, I check called his half pot bet. He 3/4 the turn, I pushed in and he showed KK on the button :( . Just unlucky to see an aggro player wake up with KK on your button and then hit top pair no draw on the flop. Oh well GG.
I'll give you my sunday info later. Peace.

Friday's Results = 4137.00
Played a shitload of tourneys today- sucked it up on FTP, only worthwhile result was winning my seat for the $500k tommorow- not even that big of a deal either because it is a 216 this week. Didn't run poorly, just made some bad plays- only shitty loss was trip jacks to flush in the $55k, but that'll happen.
PStars was looking poorly too. I invested an unheard of $300 in the 20 rebuy, and came to the break with 5k in chips (for those of you scoring at home,that means a double rebuy and addon only). Bluechip was making a run in the $55k, so I was railing him and treating the 20r as an afterthought. 20 off the bubble, my KK ran into QQ aipf, and the turn and river were both Qs, moving my stack down below 5k. Somehow I short stack ninja'd back into the game, and was sitting on 30k on bubble. I 4x 55 in cutoff and bb shoves all in- i look him up and he has AQ, I hold to 60k. Now its time for me to abuse bubble. I raise a shitload and finally play a pot where i get it aipf with A5 to 1010. I turn the wheel though and am up to 100k. I hang around till we're down to ~ 30 ppl left when I get moved to a table with GBoro and some fish. Following hand comes up that set me up for an FT run:

When a donk cant muck AQ there, I win. weeeeee.
So at this point I abused the bubble all the way to FT bubble, where I got ahead of myself and doubled up a guy. So final table I'm 2nd in chips. After putting a nasty beat on GBoro A9 v 1010 on a 92543 board, I had a massive chip lead 3 way.
We got to heads up and i was 3 to 1 chip leader. I got it all in with the guy on a 6c7cks flop, me holding Q7, him 9c10c. River 8 gets us back to even. Then I lose 1 million chips with JJ on a KQ board, and I am short stacked. I run a bluff into 2 pair and take 2nd. Sucks because I should have won, but I had such a donk image that I couldn't take down any pots pre or post flop vs the guy, he was looking me up everytime. Oh well, ~6k win is still cool. BTW the deal I have with Bluechip is that we take 10% of each others 4 figure + wins when we both play in the tourney, as a way to reduce variance. We're looking forward to a big Sunday, so hopefully I'll be shipping him some loots.

Thursday's Results = 8390.13
Good night of poker last night.
Came home and played an MTT satty into the FTOPS Main Event. Took it down for the $535 buy in, so a good start to the night. I also played a MTT satty for the hendon mob shootout, but lost 3 way vs USCphido.
Fired up the 7pm tournaments, and felt in control the whole time. Huge hand in the 7pm 100 on stars- i have 15k, chiplead, and i open to 3x utg with JsJd at 100 / 200 / 25. Folds to lp lagtard who shoves 6k in. I'm deffinetly calling him, because his range is 77-JJ, AQ+ with this open shove. BB decides to call too for his last 4.5k, making my decision a bit tougher. I wait it out for almost all my time bank and decide to call, because I think that BB is calling with 99+, AQ+. So I'm thinking I'm a favorite to take the 1.5k off the lagtard on the side at a minimum, meaning that IF BB has a monster, my net loss would only be 1.5k, plus I could be flipping, and the pot is 15k- so I called. lagtard shows other two Jacks, bb shows AK. Flop comes 2 spades all rags, turn is a spade, river is a spade- weeeee SCOOOOP. Its so nice to run good! This gives me a big chiplead. As the blinds get up, and PS goes aggrotard, my stack moves closer to the average. I wind up being a shorty with 3 tables left, but I manage to steal blinds to keep me afloat until we get down to 12 ppl left. I have 55k, avg = 80k. blinds 3k/6k forget the ante- shorty with 28k shoves button, I have 1010 and call. Jerk shows JJ!! I get my 10, but it is after an 89Q board, so he makes a straight and I don't pair the river. I shove short for a bit then take the FT bubble at 12th. Cashed for ~600, GG.
In the 7pm Full Tilt $25K, I had a big stack pretty early after some good flops and a donk who decided to double me to 12k with his 6k stack on a AQ4 board with his AK v my AA. I'm sorry but when you have 6k, the bb is 50, you don't lose your stack with top top IMO. Whatever though i'll take the double up. Near the bubble I have 40k stack and get to a table with theHebrewHammer and some other ppl. The guy to my right has 55k, and I take all his money over the course of two hands. first, my JJ vs his 88 that I played horribly and would have folded to a river bet, but it went check check luckily. That made it 60k to 35k. The I get AA on the button, he 3x it to 1800 in the cutoff. I smooth, flop is Q high, he bets pot, I call. Turn is 10, he bets pot, I shove, he calls shows AQ. No 2 outer on the river and I have 95k. I ride this stack into the money, building it as high as 135k when we are 10 handed. Terrible player to my right, short stack, shoves in for 55k at 2k/4k. I have 100k behind and AK, I call. A4Q board no help turn and river and I'm short stack. I find a double up and go to final table with 80k, 2nd shortest. Thehebrewhammer is to my right, and he has been AGGRESSIVE. Folds to him on button, he 3xs to 18k. I'm sb with KcJc. I call with the intention of check raising all in any paired board, or leading all in at a good draw. flop comes 910Q, hmm guess I'll check. The hammer shoves all in, I call he has K4. No J to chop and I have 185k. We get to 5 way after about an hour, and blinds are 10k/20k. UTG shoves 68k in after losing a huge hand. I look him up w K2 spades, he has KJ off. OOPS. I spike a 2 like its my job and he's done, we're 4way. 4 way was wierd- all 3 players were terrible, so it was like walking through a mine field. At any moment they might decide to shove it in. I'm built up to 300k, big stack to my left has 600k, two to my left has 240k, guy to my right has 180k. I've been raising a ton and they're obviously sick of it. I open utg with A8hh to 70k. Sb with 240k waits forever and shoves in. I tank it here- I'm thinking fold initially, but I play back some of his previous shoves- when he showed down AQ on a shove it was an instashove, and he had been playing desperate the past few levels. I decide that he is shoving any pair, any two broadway, any ace. Vs. this range, needing to call 170k to win 540k pot, I call. He has KcJc, flop two clubs, he doesnt get any of his 15 outs and my A high wins. 3way, big stack is reshoving on me periodically, so I start limping to mix it up. I take maybe 50k off him in 3way, when I bust the short stack. folds around to him, he shoves 160k at 15k/30k. I call with 33, spike a 3 to get to heads up. Heads up he has a slight cl, we go back and forth a few hands, then I get QsJs. I 3x to 90k. He calls. Flop Kc9s2c. He checks and I check behind, because he has been repopping me all in a ton. Turn 6c, he bets 30k into 200k. I call with my gutshot, not sure what his bet means here- I think it is weak but I want to keep this pot small since we just started HU. River is 10s. He leads out for 100k, around half the pot. I shove, he calls after a bit with Q10?!!!!?!!?! Hmmmm. I have 1.4mm to his 90k now. Two hands later I end it shoving KJ and he calls K8, no 8. GG me for 8690. Me and bluechip had swapped 10% for the night in tournaments we played together, so I shipped him 870 (10 dollar bonus for rail support at FT). Seriously though a shoutout to blue, he had some good words of wisdom for me HU. I also cashed in a few other MTTs for the night, nothing big. Good night overall though. Always nice to finish the deal and win an MTT- top 3 is the goal in any MTT, but the wins are what build a bankroll.

GG me for 8690. Me and bluechip had swapped 10% for the night in tournaments we played together, so I shipped him 870 (10 dollar bonus for rail support at FT). Seriously though a shoutout to blue, he had some good words of wisdom for me HU. I also cashed in a few other MTTs for the night, nothing big. Good night overall though. Always nice to finish the deal and win an MTT- top 3 is the goal in any MTT, but the wins are what build a bankroll.
Here is the excel for the night:

Tuesday's Results = (283.50)
So the first night of poker with the new blog was very meh.
I went out to dinner with my GF, so by the time I got home it was 9:30, meaning I missed all the good FTP tourneys (55k, 25k, 16k,50k). Luckily, Bluechip registered me for the 100k on stars and the 20 rebuy, so I had something to play.
1st hand of 100k I find AdAh on the button. I'm worried I'll get no action, since I've been away and this is literally the first hand I've played, but wait- it's PokerStars!! I 3x on the button to 90, sb insta calls, BB reraised to 420 with 1750 behind. Too often this is AJ, so if I shove pre I lose him, so I call with position. Flop is Qxx 2 hearts, he leads out for 600. I wait .2 seconds and ship it, he insta calls shows KdKh. Weeeee running good. WAIT K on the turn ugh. Down to 200 chips at 25/50 after playing 1 hand. Fun. Very next hand get dealt AA again, I limp for 50 with 200 behind, willing to risk playing it 6 way because I'm so low. Button limps, sb (same guy as last hand) reraises 3x. I go all in, button calls, sb reshoves, button folds, sb shows QQ. My AA holds here, back to 600. 1 orbit later utg limps for 50 (very weak player limping alot) so i ship in 550 or so with 88. folds around to utg who instas with 55. I hold and am back to 1600. Maybe I can play this tourney after all? Take down some blinds, etc. and at start of 2nd hour have 2200. at 50/100 button raises a fold around to 300. Standard raise, I find QQ on bb. I over shove all in, thinking this is the best way to get a call from A10+, 55+. He calls with JJ. xJx flop, gg. Tourneys are so fun when you're 50% in your 80/20's!!!
20 rebuy was standard tourney, I made break with 7k, forgot to addon like a donk, then lost on a JK4 board when my JJ was no good vs KK.
Here are my total results for the night- winning 119 sngs really helps even out a losing night of mtts!

Hello and welcome to my blog- how the fck did you find this thing?!
I'll be using this space to give periodic updates on my poker performance. Basically, I'm writing this today with a $10,000 poker bankroll. My goal is to play my best game and turn this 10k into a whole lot more.
There are several reasons I started a blog.
1. many successful online players have blogs- maybe they're on to something?
2. It will force me to honestly re-examine my play more frequently. Writing a post about how i fcked up the 30 rebuy with 12 left will make me a better player. I think.
3. it will be fun to post hand histories when i'm running good, and funny for people to read hand histories when I'm running bad- so HH's = Fun!
4. Maybe this blog can help some new players develop their game.
I will try to put an update in after every decent session I play- at very least, I will give an update after every $200 + live mtt I play or every Sunday.
Well thats it for the first post- thanks for stopping by. A poker update will come later today.
