Sunday Tournaments

I only played two tournaments yesterday...a $4/180 and a $5 MTT FO with 2718 runners. The 180 was a dud. I picked up KK first hand and got it AI pf vs. EP raiser who had AA... I went out first hand in 180th place. There is just no way i am folding KK pf ever in these tournaments.

I played really well in the $5 FO, but ran into my old problem of "Time" & distractions. With about 55 player left i had 246K in chips and was in 10th place, My ladyfriend came by and we sat in the car talking for about 15 minutes... when i came back i had 168K in chips, there were 34 players left, i had switched tables and was now the short stack. blinds were 3000/6000/1000a (i think). I eventually pushed over a EP raise with AQs, was called by 77 and busted out in 30th for $24 profit.

I just checked the results and the tournament lasted 8hrs! I just don't know how i'm ever gonna get 8 uninterrupted hrs for a tournament.sigh. Something will have to work out.

Best wishes to all and Enjoy your holidays

Update

I've been playing a session now and then but with mediocre results... I'm probably running 1ptbb/100 over about 5k hands for the month. I was running 10ptbb/100, but then ran bad... just bad beat after bad beat followed by some tilt.

I'm just not able to deal with the swings as i used to, therefore i'm done with the cash games. I've decided to go back to sngs and low buy in mtts. My only problem is getting money onto fulltilt and stars. I have about 800 bucks on moneybookers but it is not an option for stars or FTP. In anycase i will try to cancel my FTP account and get a new one with rakeback before depositing there.

I was gonna play the 100k gaurenteed today but decided against it. I wouldve had to get super lucky to make it deep considering that it is now 17500 max entrants, so i decided to play a couple $4/180... did not money.

I did play a $5 FO tonight and finished 54/1680 for about 19 bucks. I think i played well and survived some tough beats... but for the most part the tourny was just soft.

Some pivotal hands

early steal attempt - I was playing really tight and had a good feel for the table so made an attempt on the blinds.

nice chip up

55 in bb, m = 7

M=5 with AJo in HJ - damn river!

M=1.5 with K9s - never bet into a dry side pot

Got lucky here with KQ i'm not sure about this push... any comments welcomed

AA vs. KK. vs. QQ AI pf talk about set up... good thing short stack had AA... I came out ahead.

AKs in EP deep stacked sigh what cand you do.

Final two hands managed not to lose my entire stack with QQ vs. KK...could i have repped the A?... had to push junk on the last hand.
