...

30th of 605 in a $10 Stars tourney.

I pushed QT from the button SB called w AT. Flop comes A, good night me.


I want to final one already.

It Continues

Just came 7th in a $12 180 man turbo sng.

Lost A5 v 22 then pushed T7 called by 55 no help.

I was chip leader going into final table but the blinds were massive so swings were gonna be there big time.

What sucked though is just before I was elminated in 7th, I was also playing a tourney on Full Tilt and with 80 people left I lost a pot for the chip lead with AA v KK all in preflop. K on turn. As soon as that happened I went from optimistic and hopeful to feeling negative to out the door in 7th place. I get $60 instead of the $600 for first.

God damnit.

Yet Again


I just finished 58th of 2550 in a Stars $10 tourney. I walked 99 into KK after trying to isolate a raiser.

To be fair I cant complain. Earlier in the tourney I had 99 and called a raise. Flop came A93. He bets I raise, he pushes. He has AA and I hit the case 9 on the turn. So I cant say I was unlucky.

I would just love to go the distance and close one of these out.

sigh...

Full Tilt $17.5K tourney

I hopped on Full Tilt while I was playing some Stars tourneys.

I played the 17.5K guaranteed with a $24+$2 buyin.

$6K for first.

I got 29th of 1200 for $85.

Man oh man so close.
I called an all in with 77 in BB from an UTG push. He had AK and hit a str8 on the river. I had to push a little while later.




So close to a big score. One hand here or there, or more importantly, when I have a hand I get action, it could have gone another way. damnit.

Graph of Said Sickness

The fiancee went to the gym tonight so I played another hour or so. Made another $35 but could have been more.

This hand pissed me off as the guy had gotten lucky numerous times to win hands. I suppose I could have waited for a better spot, but in cash games I think I should just take the edges I can get.

November Graph

I made $620 in November and played 33,433 hands.



I plan on playing atleast 25K hands this month, but my goal is to make $1000 playing mainly 25NL. 40 buyins is doable. I am also going to try and keep gold star so I may have to jump up to 50NL to do that. I'll see.
