Weekend Results

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
