reversal of fortune.

Today wasn't very good. I was basically even in sngs, but ul in mtts, as well as tossed about $100 into a satelite. I'm just going to stick to sngs and $33 and under mtts for the next couple of days to makeup what i lost today. "worst call of the day" was when 9cTc limp called my AI w/ JJ over AK, flop A 8 8c, turn Jc, river Qc for his str8 flush. pretty awesome.


Today: -$429.30
Total: $1,127.40

Half and Half Day

Today was going down hill in mtts, until i saved my loses with some fine sng wins. I played both $55 mtts, both $11Rs, the $11+1R+1Addon, and the $33 and $22 mtts at night. In the $11+1R i was in first place from the 90 minute mark until we got down to around 30 people, when my hands died. I got to the FT with about 200k chips, average being 250k. I picked up 99 and raised near the cutoff, for the sb to shove AI on me for almsot 80% my stack. I knew i was racing or ahead, and since i wanted to win, i called. he turned over AJ and flopped his A, to take the 400k pot, leaving me with around 65k in chips. I shoved a couple hands, and then got AA and dbled up through TT. i was at 320k, when the earlier TT player limped, followed by a AI call from the short stack, and i was sb w TT, so i just shoved, only to be INSTA called by the sb w AQo, and he turned his Q. He was pretty bad tho....he limped AK earlier in second pos, after i folded KJhh pre, and let JQ hit a str8 on him and then paid him off in full. Then he goes insta calling me, and winning? bah. That was a 600k pot. If only i could have won a race on the FT, i would have won or at least taken second again.... oh well. I also bubbled the $55k tonight because i shoved AK in late and QQ called. flop A and river Q. Guess my races died out at the same time my mouse batteries did...gay.

AWESOME DAY!!!!

Today started out with school, until i got home around 7pm and started my sessions of sngs. I played some $22 sngs and then tried a session of $33 sngs. I ended up +280 or so from sngs, and then got in the $33 mtt and busted, and then in the $22 mtt just a little later that night. I was pretty far, until i shoved JQ and ran into AK and lost, leaving me with 426 chips with around 45 guys left. I somehow shoved 5 hands in a row AI, and dbled up or tripled up each time, to come back to 26k chips. I kept getting AI ahead, and won a race. I folded one hand where i woulda gotten mopped... I FTed and was in second, and got outplayed one hand by the chipleader, who i thought i had beat, but i really would have felt bad if i went out in either 8th or 9th when i was in second and there were 5 short stacks. I eventually got heads-up, and was a 2:1 dog in chips, which sucked. I finally tried a semi-bluff with a flush draw, but he had the A and i missed my draw, so i got second, but still a nice cash and an AWESOME comeback imo. Here are the hh's from the mtt, starting from the hand that put me at 426 chips. http://www.pokerhand.org/?839124 http://www.pokerhand.org/?839125 http://www.pokerhand.org/?839126 http://www.pokerhand.org/?839127 http://www.pokerhand.org/?839130 http://www.pokerhand.org/?839131 keep in mind those were 6 back-to-back hands in the mtt. http://www.pokerhand.org/?839162 http://www.pokerhand.org/?839163 http://www.pokerhand.org/?839170 http://www.pokerhand.org/?839177 http://www.pokerhand.org/?839193 http://www.pokerhand.org/?839208 http://www.pokerhand.org/?839228 the QT i barely had odds to call, but i lucked out i guess. All in all i love mtts, and i love doing well in them, and today has got to be my biggest comeback ever, which makes me happy...WEEE...

congrats to ALEX!

Today was a long day, half playing and half rooting on alex in the $215 sunday. I wokeup early, even after being out late, to play the $36+3 satelite to sunday, which i cashed in. I was up $50 for the day so i played the $55 mtt and was doing well, until some guy repopped me twice in one rotation, then i raised AQ from mid pos. TJss calls me, flop KQx, i bet out the pot, he calls, turn xs, i push for 1k more chips and he calls, to hit the runner runner flush on me. guess it was an ok draw. Then i played the sunday with alex, which was the first time he had ever played it, which was fun. I missed some sick draws over, and then finally made a nice read and a sweet semi-bluff, only to be called by some donk. http://www.pokerhand.org/?836052 "worst call of the day" imo, but only because i wish he had folded... :P alex ended up getting 180th in the sunday out of 6600, which is amazingly awesome. He took home $1300ish, and played the best mtt i've ever seen him play, so i'm proud of his l33t skillz. I ended up up a nice chunk today, which is coo coo.

Today: +$293.50
Total: $994.29
