long time no updates

been busy but also haven't played too much.

my most recent sessions was a short one on saturday and a couple tournaments on sunday.

saturday i played the $26 at noon and built up some good chips before busting with a bone head move. the button during my sb was making all his lp raises pot sized and it appeared to me he was doing this to intimidate anyone from calling. so i ended up shoving 20bb's from the sb w/ K9o and he snapped me off with AJ. meh, i think although he was scared to play his hand he was also not folding it making the re-steal a bad move.

i tried one of the new $26 180 person sngs and busted 106th uneventfully. i also hopped into a $10 rebuy satellite to the big sunday $216. it only had 23 players and i won one of the 2 seats available after being in for the minimum. (1 rebuy, 1 add-on)

i ran some sngs during the session and pretty much broke even.

sunday i decided to play some of the bigger tournaments that i rarely play. i started with the $26 noon on ftp and busted 305/497 with my AK vs 99.

i played a $109 super sat to the $500 satellite to the aussie millions. i came 10/14 after losing AQ vs 66 and then KT to T7.

i decided to jump into the party 300k guarantee and busted around the 1000 mark in a 1500 person field.

i called it an afternoon and then played the evenings.

i ran the 6pm $26 along with the $216 750k guarantee.

in the $26 i busted 234/910 when i raised in early position w/ QQ, got re-popped right behind me and i 4-bet shoved. buddy snap called me w/ ATo (i had a fairly solid image) and spiked an Ace on me.

the $216 went just as bad. i had a good stack the whole through until my bustout hand came up. i had been moved to a table with a big stack to my right that was raising very liberally in late positon when it was folded to him. so he opened the cutoff, and i decided to 3-bet 88 on the button and he thought and folded. very next hand he opens from the hijak and now i have KK. i make the exact same raise and when it folded back to him he couldn't shove fast enough w/ A7o. another Ace came and it was gg me again.

i played the 7pm $75 and went out 140/561 when i got it all-in pre w/ AKo vs JJ and the flop came Jxx.

the last tournament i reg'd for was the sunday mulligan. this one went pretty horrible and i ended up shoving my short stack w/ AQs right into AA.

i thought played pretty well in all the tournaments but just couldn't survive the flips late.

f sundays indeed.

so thats been pretty much it. i played for an hour the other night and won a little bit in sngs and lost a little bit playing .50/1.00 heads up nlh. it's hilarious how bad some players are in those games but it can also be frustrating. one guy took a buy-in off me w/ set over set and left right away. the hit and runs are plentiful in those games.
