Over the past seven days i've made Six final tables. Two in the $11 90 man KO tournys finishing 2nd & 5th. Four in the $26 90 man KO tournys; finishing 8th, 8th, 2nd & 3rd. The two 8th place finishes was after playing short stack ninja for most of the final 3 tabs. The 2nd place finish i had a 3:1 chip lead and villain sucked out several times to win HU.
I'm happy to be making final tables but disappointed that i'm not taking any down. I will watch a few final tables on PXF and review my own to see what i could be doing differently.I feel like i've got a good grip on these 90 man KOs and will be using them to build my roll further. I'm pretty comfortable buying directly into the $26 tournys now with my bankroll just a little under 3K. But i want to get to the point where i'm playing the $55, $75 & $109 MTTs regularly.
Today I bought directly into the $17.5k Guaranteed tourny on fulltilt with a $75.00 buyin and played a pretty strong game imo. I eventually busted 54/758 for double my money. I really want to review this one asap, because at one point i had up to a 50xbb stack i think. But as the blinds increased my stack went down and down until eventually i shoved out of the sb with 15bb holding 88 vs. a late position raise which turned out to be AKs. Obv i lost the race. It was a good push but i'm thinking i missed some spots to chip up on the bubble. I didnt maintain my stack well down the stretch... prehaps playing too conservatively to make the money?
will update after i review.
oh btw.

I rarely pay attention to the chat while playing so i didnt get to respond to this note from the rail. so if you see me playing and try to chat if i don't respond its not that i'm being a prick, its just that i probably missed it. thanks Jkruger!

Isgrinder Update, Poker Tracker3 & Belly Off
I haven't felt as sharp as i did a few weeks ago and my results reflect this, especially on Stars. I won a Sunday Million satellite earlier in the week and did absolutely nothing with it, just blew it. The next time i win a seat i'm playing in the tourny... fuck it!
Things have been going a bit better on fulltilt. I took down a $24+2 90 man KO sit n go for $576.00. I've used up most of my $24+2 tokens, i only have 2 left. I will try to get that back up to 10 this week so that i can play the 90 man KO tourny again. My Build-A-Roll challenge for fulltilt is completed. I will begin withdrawing $500 each month from here on out. It looks like i will have to jump through a few hoops before i can withdraw though. Will see how it goes.
Stars latest update caused some problems with my PT import earlier in the week so i havent played there much this week. I was going to update it but decided to just make the switch to PT3 instead. I have to say it is pretty sweet. I installed and imported all my tournies for the this year and about 10K ring hands in under 15 minutes. Its pretty slick and the instant update to the hud while playing is nice also... no more waiting to import every 2-3 minutes. And there is hardly any lag when playing 6 tables and importing.
Belly Off
I've always told myself that once i hit 30 i was gonna start taking better care of my body. I'm 31 years old, 6'1" and 205 lbs. I'm not fat or anything but i do have a little belly fat. So I've finally decided to do something about it. I found a pretty good program on Menshealth.com called Belly Off that i'm gonna try for the next 8 weeks. My goal is to lose 15lbs. I already exercise a bit but not enough... I will stick to this program.
