Sorry for the delay in posts, I know its been a week.
This has been a exciting week of poker. Sunday, my buddy nemostars22 final tabled the sunday warmup on stars. He finished 4th for ~24k. Sick run kid, sucks when AQ < A4 on last hand. Can't complain too much about a 24k cash though.
As for my play, Saturday night I took 2nd place in the FTP winner choice mtt. I was pissed I didn't win. First place was a seat to any wpt event, package worth 12k, 2nd place was 2k. I lost with JJ to KQ when we were even stacked. Villain had been firing at every flop with a pot bet. He raised 3x pre, I repopped him to 12x, he called. Flop is 89K, he leads out pot, 8, i ship it in and he calls. I'm not too upset with my play because my JJ crushes his lead out range of any two he calls a reraise with but doesnt 3 bet me with, so 22-JJ, A4ss+, JQ+. OH well.
Then this week I sucked it up at mtts, until wednesday night when I ft'ed the FTP 55k. Came into final table 2nd in chips, then got down to ~ 180k after lossing a flip when utg+1 made it 26k at 4/8. I find AQhh in the cutoff, i made it 78k. Villain thinks roughly 2 seconds then ships it in. I fold fairly quickly- I thought this player was raising light in EP since that is the new button, but he shoved so quickly when he had 150k to start that I'm probably looking at a range of QQ+, AK. Meh. 2 hands later I get 88 in EP and 3x it, mp insta min reraises to 62k. I can either shove and pray for AK or fold, so I fold. This sucks though because I lost half my stack without seeing a flop on these two hands. Ugh I suck. One orbit later utg 3xs it and I shove JJ for 100k. UTG instacalls AA, I can't find a J and finish in 8th for 2k. GG blowing a good chance at big money.
So that was the gist of my week- two cashes for 2k, nothing more, blowing a chance at big money.
On the bright side, I cracked the top 10 on P5's sliding plb for Massachusetts. I hear that P5's is interviewing the top 10 from each state so that will be pretty cool, I just have to keep a hold of my spot here. Here is the top 15:
As you can see, some good names here. 5th on the list is my buddy bluechip, would be cool to get that big score this weekend to put me up there wit blue, so we can put some pressure on each other. For now i'm happy to crack the top 10, since when the rankings started I was 15th.
This weekend I'm already in the FTOPS main event, 500 buy in superstack, so that should be sweet. Also trying to win my way into the 2500, since I don't really want to buy directly into it. between those and the sunday mill hopefully I'll have something good to write about next week.
I've also joined AbsolutePoker. Apparently I created an account there long ago, because PAto610 was already taken, so my name is 016otaP. Get it? I deposited 400 and I'm playing .50/1 nl to build it up. So fish but boring to play small stakes, needs to be done though since I don't want to pull a lot off full tilt for the sake of AP.
Alright that's all I got this week, ttyl gg nh etc.
