FTOPS have begun / Week of running like SH!T

Sorry everyone for the lack of updates (all 4 of you who read this blog).

Since the last post I've been on a sick cooler run, and writing down the results would have just tilted me before now. Last Sunday I made a couple nice runs but wound up down a bit for the night. The ..er lowlight of the day came around 1am when I was top 5 in the FTP mulligan with 50 left, and Top 3 in the 109 on stars with 16 ppl left. I was feeling good and playing well, when In the mulligan an aggro player shoved 55 on the button. I had 99 on the sb and reshoved. The BB, who had just moved to the table and had me slightly covered, tanked and made the overcall with JJ :(. Didn't really matter because board came 5xxxx and the button shover stacked up. GG mulligan.

The 109 really kicked me in the balls. I'm sitting on a top 3 stack when I find kk utg. I 3x it with 100k behind me and blinds ~2k 4k. LP reshoves 65k, I call, he shows JJ. Board brings me no worries until river J. AHHHHH. Crippled? I double through with 1010 to 55 and then run a big bluff though and am back to 100k with 14 left, and an aggrotard reshoves an lp raiser for 85k. Dude is so loose I can't find the fold and look him up w AQ. he shows A10. Board 269 turn 6 river 9 ahhh I hate poker. He gets the chop split. I steal some blinds get up to 125k, 4th in chips, with big stack of 300k on the bb to my left. I find KK on the button. UTG shoves in for 100k at 5k10k. I reship KK. BB uses his whole time bank, I start getting a hard on at the thought of the tripple up, etc. when boom- he calls showing AA- WTF slowrolled on final table bubble by chipleader? AHHHHHHHHHHH I dont hit gg me.

So that sucked.

Fast Forward to Monday. Win two seats to the FTP 1k off of 1000 invested in sattys so was happy about that. Top 45 paid, 48 ppl left, I have 18k, avg ~22k. UTG I get AKhh. Blinds are 400/800. I make it 2400. Utg +2, shitty player, reraises to 8k. I put him on 22+, A9s+, KJs+, A10+ here. No joke. I reshove, he calls with AQ. Thats cool. Q22 flop kicks me to the curb. GG.
Almost instantaneously in the 30r on FTP, 28 ppl left, top 27 paid. I have 55k, good for 8th. Folds around to UTG who limps, I'm BB with A10ss. I shove in on him (unnecessary mistake) he instas AK. I flop the 10, but J Q runs down to give him straight. I'm down to 25k, bottom 10 stack. Same guy opens for 3x, I shove huge overshove, he calls AQ. Finds a Q and I'm done. Two bubbles at the same time where AK < AQ will tilt you sometimes.

Tuesday night had a softball game so only played some sngs.

Wednesday night played FTOPS 1 and Stars 320 150k. FTOPS I lost early getting it all in with super draw on 2h3h4xKx board with AKhh v 88, 8 on the river non heart crippled me. 1 outers happen though. Stars 320 I made the money and then bled some chips away and lost in 46th or so when my A10 < 99. Cashd for ~650.

Thursday night I played some sngs late and some 5/10nl. Did fairly well: Played 4 Sngs, all turbos: 60, 75, 119, 236 Results: Win in 60 (+190), 7th in 75, (-75), Win in 119 (+376), 2nd in 236 (+358). In 5/10nl, I bought in short for 400, won some pots up to 520, then virtually doubled with AJ on J3457 board v A8 bluffer. Left table with 1020, (+620). Haven't had a day like that in a while so was nice. Up ~1500.

Huge weekend up ahead for me - Tonight I'm giong to play the regular shit, plus possibly the FTOP event. Tomorrow I have the ironman freeroll, plus the 320 on stars, and maybe the afternoon 100r on FTP (this might be the FTOP not sure). Sunday, FTOP 3 is 320 buy in replacing the 500k, so that should have a million prize pool, plus I have FTP monthly TLB freeroll, and the other sunday shit. Hopefully I'll win enough this weekend to buy a new condo.
