To achieving my goal for this month! Finished 3/857 in the $26 11.5k Guaranteed on Fulltilt today for 2.2k. Besting my biggest score by about 700.00. I was easily the best player remaining but unfortunately got unlucky push botting with 9bb @ 25k/50k level. The guy who was the big stack at the time was horrible, had no idea how to play the big stack at all. Any way was still a nice score.
I played really well and i felt really confident at the table, I actually came back from about 500 chips in this one. Took some beats and gave some also... The guy who won the tourny had about 4 suckouts when we were down to 2 tables beginning with JTo vs. my JJ...its just apart of the game. You have to be able to roll with the punches and continue to play, otherwise you will never win at this game.
I am most pleased with how my mental approach has improved. I don't get rattled as easily as i used to and if i do, i am able to refocus easily. I feel confident that i will take down something soon. In the mean time i will continue to improve.

Wednesday Update
I did not play a 4/180 tourny today because i felt i would not be able to focus for the full tourny. Instead i decided to play a few 45 player tournies.I single tabled for the first one because i had to create a pahud log to send to support. For the past few weeks my hud has not been working and i can't figure out why... I hope this resolves the problem.
I did not money in any of these tournies... I couldnt win a race to save my life, not even when i was dominating.
First turbo tourny i push with 77 to isolate vs. a small stack shove, BB makes a loose call with AQo for his tourny life. After this bb=150 and i have 900 i push ontb with QTo, sb calls with T8s... flop comes xtx, turn 8, river 8... nh gg. Another tourny i'm in sb with AKo, loose player utg min r to 200, and gets two callers, I shove, OR folds, both players call with AQs and 99 respectively...99 holds... nh, gg.
Thats the way it went in all the tournies, can't complain i think i made the correct plays.
I was going to post some hands from my 3rd place finish yesterday... but after looking over them, i will just post all the hands that i played up until my connection went out. I think they may be interesting, especially once i got the big stack. I played a really lag game and tried to use my stack like a big club.
stars $4.00/180 3rd place finish
I might have busted earlier had i played it myself but i still wouldve like the experience of playing the final table as a big stack. hopefully i will get another chance soon.
