aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
busted 39th in the $163 again for a small cash. felt i played great in this tournament and was down to 1.8k at 200/400/50a blinds and fought all the way back to have like 30k a mere 10 minutes later. here's the bust out hand.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1812786 - im not sure if i can play this any differently.
also went deep in the $26 plo tourny busting 11th on a sick hand where this guy that was berating others play decided to call off his tourny life on the turn w/ an open ended straight draw and ragged pair.
finally cashed in a $75 45 person sng coming 3rd for like $500 or something so i made a little money on the night but not as much as i could of.
i think i'll play a little cash today and if i don't end up going out tonight i might hop into some more tournies.

getting deep....
but can't finish.
i've went deep in 3 tournies over the last two nights and busted in the final 3 or 4 tables of each.
two nights ago was the hardest. i played the $163 at 8pm and 1st place was a tasty 20.6k. i had my eyes on taking it down all day but it wasn't meant to be. i ended up busting 32nd when my 99 got drawn out by A7o. the hand played itself though as i only had 10bb's in the bb and the sb had about 30bb's and was shoving on me everytime it was folded to him.
last night i went deep twice. the first was the $26 6pm where i busted 26th out of like 604. the bust out in that hand was a pretty sick cooler. the blinds were 800/1600/200a and i had about 20k behind and was in the bb w/ Q7s. mp min-raised and the sb called. both had me covered and i was getting over 6-1 to flick the additional 1600 in so i did since it doesn't really change the flexibility of my stack. the flop came down QQ9r, sb checked and i decided to lead out for 4k into the 11.4k pot. i thought this bet would induce a lot of shoves from a lot of pair hands that mp might have been raising since i would still be able to fold if shoved on. he shoved, sb folded and i obv called. he had 99 for the flopped underfull and i didn't improve.
after that i had went on a nice run and built up chips in the 7pm $75. down to 36 i had about 18bb's and picked up AJo in the cutoff. folded to me and i raised a little less than 3x but was committed to the hand since all three players behind had 15-20bb stacks making it a likely situation for a re-steal. sure enough bb (who just had me covered) re-shipped and i snap called and probably looked like a donkey doing so but i was correct and he had 55. i lost that flip and shortly thereafter shut it down for the night after busting in the 200's of the 1200 person field in the 8pm $26.
i can't complain about not running well though as i think i ran very well to get as deep as i did. in the $163 i put a big suckout on another player for my tourny life when i shoved 7bb's from lp w/ Q8o and snapped off his AQo. also in the $75, i was very short and shoved 43s from lp and snapped off another AQo when the flop came a tasty 256r. all of my big favorites have been holding up and i've been winning my share of flips, i just can't finish the job.
oh well, i think im playing my best right now so that's all i can really ask for. i think i'll take tonite off since it's my b-day and i'll probably be back in action tomorrow night.
im also going to add a win in the nightly $163 to my christmas list.

played a whack
played quite a bit friday nite. started around 6pm and played mostly tournaments but early on i had a couple of cash tables going to fill the screen.
i had two 1/2 nl full ring tables going early and managed to make a couple buy-ins on those by mostly flopping sets to overpairs. after about 8pm though i had a pretty full screen going of mtt's so that was it for cash.
here's the rundown w/ a brief recap if noteworthy:
6pm $26 - busted 381/649
$44 turbo sat to $150 - busted 28/43
7pm $75 - busted 245/522 but not without a story. @ 80/160 and about 2.4k, if you told me i would get dealt KK three times in a row i would imagine that i would end up somehow around 5k. not the case. here are the three hands that happened in succession, in this order.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1792971
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1792972
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1792974
8pm $26 - busted 26/1258 for $141 in this one which was the deepest i got all night. was very happy with my play and i was chip leader when we got down to about 100. after that though the blinds were insanely high and any pot played severely swung your stack size.
8pm $163 - busted 142/433. once again was very happy with my play and i hung around like a bad a rash while short stacked. an interesting hand was the cause of me getting short stacked. w/ blinds @ 120/240/25a, i was in the bb w/ AJo and about 5k behind. a player in lp opened to 580 which was his standard raise. he was very active and was definitly opening light. in the sb was the___dry_ who was also playing very aggressively and several times had open shoved 15 and 17bb stacks. the___dry_ re-shipped about 3.7k on top of the lp raise and knowing what i knew i came over the top with my AJo. lp folded but unfortunately the__dry_ had AKo and i didn't suck out. interesting hand though and i definitly like my play although i've never played with the__dry before so maybe he is tight and had a hand all those times. not sure but i feel that AJ is beating his pushing range there the way he was playing.
9:15pm $26 plo - busted 45/185 after monster chip leader villain that played every hand turned me on a AAxJ board w/ AJxx against my AKQx.
9:30pm $55 - short stacked the whole time it felt like but hung around long enough to bust 226/944.
10pm $26 - 876/1243 uneventfully.
10:15pm $26 horse - 113/175 after losing half my stack in a limit holdem hand w/ Qs8s on a Qx7s4s4dAs board against A4o and then playing an O8 extremely poorly after holding on short stacked for a while.
That was it for Friday night. Sunday morning i played for a couple of hours but mostly mixed games. last week i played a couple of tables of horse and rather enjoyed so sunday morning i looked to do more of the same. unfortunately at that time there was only one horse game going so i added a 3/6 limit holdem table, a 2/4 stud hi table and a 2/4 omaha h/l table. later on a second 2/4 horse game got going so i added that in place of the stud hit table.
i made up a spread sheet to track my wins/losses in the horse games and i'll also be able to tell what games im doing better/worse in. i think so far on the actual horse tables im up a few bucks but i made out good in the stud hi, limit holdem and omaha h/l tables to come away with a about a $120 win. maybe i should just buy the stud version of pokertracker and save myself the headache of trying to track things manually.
i played some hands very bad so i finally busted open the Ray Zee 2+2 hi/lo split for advanced players book that i've had for a couple months. i really think i should read the sklansky/malmouth/zee stud for advanced players first so i might order that along with another sklansky book where he goes over razz concepts. if im going to play mix games i'd like to be good at all of them so i can be as profitable as possible. as is there are a number of bad players in the games to make it worth my while.
so now i have like 4 books on the go and want to order a couple more. im a complete idiot and must have ADD the way i jump around from thing to thing.
anyways, gl at the tables.
