FTOPS Main Event

23rd place Wooohooo. I made a couple mistakes that's I'm not too proud of late in the tournie but I definately think I had a really good shot at making the final table if my last all in didn't run into queens.

I started the tournie just playing regularly. I got low on chips with my 5k starting since the blinds were getting a little high and some guy donates 5k to me when I had QQ on a paired bord. Early tournament players suck. After a while I started to get low again and made an idiotic call with 99s vs a persons QQ... but I luckily sucked out. Right afterwards I'm dealt aces and bust a short stack then JJ and push a raiser out of the pot. I'm looking so good with 125k... Afterwards I'm just getting bullied around. No one will fold to me and was only getting decent hands. I had to wait for the nuts... and turned out to only get it in with 50 50s several times and eventually got blinded down in 23rd place against a person's queens.

I know I sucked out a lot and it looks pretty bad but I think I played pretty well. I made like 2-3 big mistakes all tournament so I guess I still have some work to do. Hard to play perfect... I'm still happy the way I played.

Today: +7k tournie +1k cash = 8k
YTD: 23k

This is the way I live.

So I was feeling kinda tired tonight but I felt like I would play well if I started a session. I felt this way because I was thinking about how I've been playing lately and fixed what I was doing with a very simple piece of advice. Tighten up.

I decided to give the 600nl hu tables a try. I felt really good about my play and am confident that I can handle these stakes. Some players were very tough though so it took some grind work. Here are two hands that made my day.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. When I run good and I'm playing poker to my prime... it's an art. I don't think I've ever seen something so beautiful. Maybe this is what those crazy artists or athletes mean when they talk about the thing they love. I'm only human... I just don't know. :P

Today +3.2k + 900 dollars in rake

Haha. Oh well I finished like 1.4k up today gg

Finals suck

Finals suck.

It's like I'm tearin ass around the backyard... but I'm staying still

Yay! Today I set my new record for the amount cashed on the cash tables. I feel so happy right now. I think most of the reason is because of all the drunk people on today but I was also tearing up the regulars. Well it's time to eat, party, and get drunk. Happy Cinco De Mayo! ARRIBA

Today:+2.8k
YTD: Around... 13-14k

I'm a lucky box

I had a note that I played with this guy before so I knew a little what to expect which helped a lot. I've been hitting a lot of sets lately in the last two days. I've been on a dry spell when it came to hitting a set before this so I guess they balanced out. Here are a few good hands. I made a couple bad moves today but came out on top.

Whew. All three sets were in a matter of 30 minutes. I also hit a set of aces that paide pretty nice as well. Again, I haven't hit a set for a looong time before this. Odds are crazy. I like them... but they are crazy.
