With 4 left I flopped the nuts with KQ.....AJT....I check called twice and the turn was x and river 9. He had 78 and was crippled. With 3 left I doubled AJ>AT and crippled the other guy. The next hand CL raised, short stack shoved, I just called with JJ to bring the CL in 2 against 1. Flop was 366 with two hearts. I led and the CL called. Turn was the Jh. I check raised and he called. River was the Qd. I led for like 200k and he called with Kh8h. Probably should've shoved. Anyways going to heads up I had a 1.6 mil to 1.4 mil lead. I got up to 2 mil before losing some back. With our stacks even I called a raise from the bb with Ac2c. Flop was 69T with two clubs. I led out and he raised. I shoved and he called with 4c7c. Turn was 5c giving him a straight flush draw. Brick on the river. Shipped. Eminem- W.T.P was playing.
Doubled in the $11 deepstack too. KJ>QQ. I'm still just 64/78. I have 32k with blind at 600/1200.
I'm running oodles better than I have the last week.

Donked off 20k in the deepstack chasing an affordable flush draw. 17k at 500/1000.

still good
4/7 in the $4 4-max. I'm liking this. Good practice playin post flop with marginal hands. I've won 31/41 showdowns and 106 pots without a showdown. That's a lot of pots.
Sittin 36/46 in the $3 6-max 4k.
70/154 in the $11 deepstack 10k.
Sittin 36/46 in the $3 6-max 4k.
70/154 in the $11 deepstack 10k.
good day so far
Started with 8 tourneys. Deep runs in two micros and ITM in a $22. Also sittin with 32k at 200/400 in the all day $11 deepstack on stars. Had about 50k then I made some bad calls considering its 30 minute blinds. Sitting 82/235.
In the $4.40 4-handed 1000 cap I have 200k with blinds at 1250/2500. With 60k I doubled through the chip leader AA>AK. He tilted and stacked off shoving A6 on a 3997 board. I had A9. Lucky for me he was also at my table in the $3.30 6-handed 4k. 7/17.
I doubled up to 26k KJ>TT through him and he told me to die. After doubling again AA>TT I knocked him out TT>A4. 19/137.
I've had less than 10bb for like 1.5 hours in the $22. Nobody wants to double me. Nevermind. KK<A7. River A. Out 59/1316.
Already made back what I'm in for so I'm going to profit.

ehhh
0/5 tonight.
In the 28k on FT I had 2700 with 80/160 blinds. CU opened for 400, I shoved 99 on the button, sb called, CU folded. SB shows AK. Axxxx board.
In the 15k KO I lost 500 of my starting stack 3 betting AA. I got two callers and the flop was 9QQ with two diamonds. There was a shove and a reshove and I folded. They had 99 and Ad7d. I busted 20 minutes later with AQ on a A78 flop with 2 spades. He check-shoved 7s9s and turned a flush.
In the $8.80 500 cap I shoved 2800 from the CU with blinds at 100/200. I had AcJc. Button called with QQ.
I shoved 1600 with blinds at 75/150 in one on UB. I had KJ in the CU and the sb called with AA.
The other one on UB one guy with a stack was trying to leave so he was shoving all in on every hand. He already doubled up two short stacks and still had 4500 with blinds at 50/100. He shoved and
I called off 1600 with Ah4h. He had J9. JJx flop....fml. Can't even win when they are givin away chips.
I got two tourneys still goin but only have 15bb in each. Not good.

big hit
Called a 34k shove with KJ in the big blind for 2k. I had 56k. Probably not the best call but the shover was obviously tilting and was all in like every other hand. He had AQ AJxxx board. I was down to 12k after the blinds passed with blinds at 1200/2400. I doubled up through the same guy 44>A6...5673x board. Need another double fast. I have 25k with blinds at 1400/2800.
18k update
Built up a 50k stack with blinds at 400/800. Then I ran QQ into AA and got knocked back to 25k. Bought a few pots, banged a flop from the sb in a limp pot, and won a 20k flip A9>88. Sittin with 57k at 500/1000 gettin close to the money bubble. 32/258 righ now. 189 paid. Once again I need a top 15 finish for profit today.
off tilt
It's Sunday so obviously I've been on tilt all day. Bad beats and no race winning in big spots. 1/12 so far. There were two that really sucked. In the $16.50 deepstack on UB I had 16k with blinds at 400/800. It folded to the sb with16k who min raised. I shoved AK from the bb and he snap called with J9. Board ran out KQ9Tx. Out like 50th. In the $3r on FT I built up a big stack, 72k with blinds at 600/1200. I lost a few pots and was sittin with 55k with blinds at 1k/2k. MP opened for 6k with 70k behind. I shoved AsQs from the CU and he snap called with TT. 22T flop. Min cash.
In the 42k, 33k, and double deuce I got off to good starts. Got to 5k+ in all of them before losing races/taking beats/ill timed shoves. Out of all of them before the antes even kicked in.
So I was left with 2 tourneys with starting stacks early on. Down $200 on the day. I decided to put sme tunes on instead of listening to football and the second song that came on was Miles Davis - So what. I promptly doubled up in both. Now let's get a dee run on a Sunday.
The two I'm still in are the $26 superstack early antes 18k and the $8.80 12k. Both prize pools are way inflated obviously.

basically gettin crushed again
tilted out of the $3r so I only got 2 left with 20bb stacks.
Took a shit ton of beats today and haven't dished any unless you count winning races in unorthodox fashion. One was KJ>TT......AA7AA board.

standard day so far
Started out decent then fell apart in everything. QQ<A9 and QQ<KQ were two of the big hands I lost.
$3r on stars is killing me too. Can't remember my first bust, but my second was AKxAJx55......A8432 board, right after that I lost JJ<99....9xxxx, then I lost AQ<J9 xxxxJ. Already in for $30 20 minutes in.

almost there
Had a nice 40 minute deep run in the $17 12k super turbo rush. Lost 1200 of my 3500 88<KT. Right after I lost my last 2200 QQ<AJ......4994A. Finished 45/1215.
a couple comical beats
My first tourney on UB didn't go too well. With 1400 and blinds at 20/40 I opened KK in early position for 120. CU called, button called, bb shoved for 900. I reshoved for 1400, CU reshoves for 3k, button tanks and eventually calls off 3k. BB has AdQd, button has Jd9d, button had AhTs. Board runs out Kxxxx with four hearts. Way to get it in there. What was he thinking while he tanked, maybe they all have KQ?
Another horrendous one was in the $5-quad. With AA I 3bet an UTG raise and the bb and UTG called. Flop was Q62. BB checked, UTG bet a small amount, I shoved and he called off with A2o. Turn 2. You gotta be kiddin me.
Ran into some tough spots in the last 15 minutes, top two to bottom set, AK<AA on a Kxx board for 110 bb stack. AQ<AK. 8 down with 4 still running. One min cash and no big stacks.

FT in the $5-quad
So, I fell back to the pack with like 3 tables to go. I was playing awesome though, taking a lot of pots with out showdowns. When I did go to showdowns I was winning. I remember looking with 2-3 tables left at my stats and I had won 11-13 showdowns, pretty good percentage.
I got to the table like 6-9. With 4 left, One guy had most of the chips 4mil, while the other three of us had 400k-800k. Blinds were at 20k/40k. It was pretty humorous. The CL limped like every hand and hardly ever raised with his 100bb stack and the guy with 10bbs was limping too. It was crackin me up. Unfortunately I couldn't hit a flop with my rags when he they limped on my bb. I ended up shoving 3bet shoving 77 against one of the other short stacks. He called with JQo which doesnt make sense. He was nittin the whole final table and then out of nowhere he calls off with JQ. He flopped a J and held. Out 4th. $919 cash.
Not bad for my only cash today in ten tourneys. I guess this means that the dual monitors set up is a success. Even if I used the extra monitor primarily to watch chrisp200's tables, read p5's discussion, and choose random songs in itunes. Lookin forward to another session tomorrow.

weeeee
After 5 hours and 10 tourneys I finally made it the money in one, and in dramatic fashion. Hand-for-hand I called a min raise of 3200 on the button with AJo, sb also called. Flop was J53. Sb open shoves 64.5k into a 13k pot?? I thought it was JQ or JK so I called. Wronnnnnng, it was QQ. River A. Finally a little positive variance. EZ game. 3/111.
again
KK<88 in the $3r. Didn't even make the money. What can ya do though?
I guess ship the $5-quad. Sittin with 80k with blinds at 600/1200. 11/151. I need a FT for profit tonight.

cruising for a while
I was cruising along in the $5-quad and the $3r with 100bb stacks until just now.
With blinds at 200/400 UTG +2 opened for 1000. I 3bet KK to 2888 from the CU. He called. Flop was Q64. He open shoved 8k, I called. He shows KQ. River Q. Sittin with 21k with blinds at 250/500.
Got 57k with blinds at 350/700 in the $5-cubed.

can't explain it
Just got knocked out of basically every tourney. AA<89, TT<88, AK<JJ, KQ<99. Thankfully (It is Thanksgiving after all) I still have 2 tournies going and I have a stack in both. I need two deep runs.
I have 21k with blinds at 75/150 in the $5-quad on stars. 35/573
I have 22k with blinds at 50/100 in the $3r on tilt. 6/1195

oooooops
How fast does it take to lose a 100bb stack? 1 hand. UTG limped. I limped with 8c5c. Bb checked. 853 flop. I lead for 500, bb folds, utg raised to 1250, I raised to 4k, he calls. Turn is Q. I check, he bets 8500...........At this point I thought I caught him overplayin AA so I shove for 20k and he calls with 33.
Cooler or bad play?
Cooler or bad play?
dual monitors
I set up my old desktop monitor from by broken computer. I'm liking it so far. I'm tryin to see a lot of flops.
It was workin pretty well. I started with 10 tourneys. I busted in two shoving 15bb. AK<TT and AQ<TT. The last 20 minutes have been pretty brutal. AA<45. He 3bet shvoed a 49J flop. River 5.
Also had TT<AQ. He check shoved a 447 flop. River A. That one was for a stack too.
Just got lucky in the $10cubed. I was all in for a big stack with KK against AQ and 55(for less). Axx flop. K turn. 100bb+ stack.

...
I built up a nice stack in the 28k on tilt. I had like 8k when it was 50/100. Then I lost a few pots and blinded a little. With 6k left and blinds at 200/400 I got AhKh on the button. It folded to me and I shoved. Sb called with AQo and I might as well be drawing dead. gg.
what can ya do?
I open AhKh and get one caller. 5d7hKs. I bet, he calls. 8h turn. I bet, he shoves, I call, he has 77. River 5h. gg.
????
I'm on tilt. I raise/call shove for 1/3 of my chips with AdJd. Shover has 8c4c. Board runs out 3488T. He knocks me out a few hands later when he raises I shove A7 for 12bbs. He calls wih 44. 4xxxx board.
startin out down
Got owned today playin a $2r rush turbo and a $3r turbo. Cost me like 50 bucks for an hour of misery basically.
Got home from volleyball just in time to late reg for the daily doubles some other tourneys already running. Ten minutes into daily double b I 3bet shoved AcKc into AsQs. Two spades on the flop and another on the turn busted me. Hopin to turn it around.

today
Played 5 tourneys earlier. Min cashed two of them. AQ<TT in the $3r on stars for an 70k pot 1500/3000.
I was cruising along in the $11 superstack on tilt until I lost a pot KK<AQ......KxxTJ board. The next hand I lost AK<45......AT322 board. Ended up busting like 50th shoving light.
Took a few hour break and got back to it. Should have stayed on break. Started with 7 tournies about 3 hours ago. I only have one left. QQ<KK, KK<AA, AQ<AK, AA<AA, etc. Frustating.
I do have a stack in the $4 2R1A.....23k with blinds at 250/500. Small field though, only 140 started. I'm sittin 10th out of 46. Need top 5 for a profitable day. I'll probably finish 4th.

exit in the 250k = tilt double in the $3r
So I got in the money in the 250k with 22k and blinds at 600/1200. First hand ITM I lost 12k of my stack QQ<AK. The next hand I lost another 5k AT<A8. The next hand I got a walk with 44. The next hand I busted 22<88.
Right after that I had KcTc in the $3r with blinds at 400/800 I had 21k. UTG and UTG+1 limped, I limped from UTG+2, UTG+3 limped, UTG+4 made it 3200. All of the limpers, including me, called. Flop was Qs9h4s. It checked around. Turn was the Kd. UTG bet 3200 and I was the only caller. River was the Qh. He shoved and I called off my last 15k. He had Ad4d and proceeded to talk shit. After that I busted him QQ>TT. I'm currently sitting with 77k with blinds at 600/1200. 216th out of 2116.
On a side note. Drew Brees is killing me.

brutal
Terrible day so far. I'm like 0 for 10-12. I've won like 10 percent of the races I've had and lost to a handful of 3-outers. Everytime I get AK I know that tourney is over for me.
I still have 2 running, the $3r on stars and the $11 250k on stars. I have decent stacks in both but there is a lonnnnnng way to still.

6-max king
Reg'd for 9 tournies today. Out of 8 of them. I think I had one cash, maybe two.
The one cash was in the $5r 12k 6max on full tilt that I ran deep in last session. I had a few chances to get a good stack but couldn't hold/win a race. I lost a bbxsb hand with Kc7c against T8o. I flopped a flush draw but he rivered an offsuit T to win the pot. Lost a big race to the same guy a few hands later. AJ<TT. Ended up position shovin A6o into AA.
The one I'm still in is the $5 7.5k 6max on stars. I just got a big double. I opened KcQc for 6348 with another 105k behind. Big stack called and the flop was Tc7c9h. I bet 8882 and he raised to 20k. I shoved for 105k, he tanked then called with JsJh. Turn was Jc. River was 3c.
Currently sitting with 230k with blinds at 1500/3000. 7th out of 32. I need a top ten finish for a profitable session but am also in dire need of a final table. I can't remember what a FT looks like.

Before I forget
Shout out to Cory "focusdriver112" Fogle for 2 ships this week including a $2r for 700. As chrisp200 said, Easy game when you have a coach in the house 24/7. I wonder how much he charges for lessons?

any two are good
Awful day. I got called by any two like ten times and lost every one. Doesn't make sense. There's a limper, I shove for like 15bbs, he calls like half his stack with J8o, 56s, K9s. All day. 0 for 8. That makes me a solid 1 for like 20 the past two sundays.

more almosts
Saved my session with two semi deep runs. One in the $11 40k on stars. I got up to about 100k with blinds at 2k/4k stalled out for a bit and shoved KJ into AK for 75k with blinds at 2500/5000. Finished like 200th out of 7900 two days after finishing 80th. Incredibly frustrating.
My other deep run was in the 3r that was owning me. I again was up a little over 100k. Busted shoving TT on the button for 90k with blinds 3500/7000. Ran into QQ and finished around 200th out of 8900.
Hopefully Sunday goes well.
Side note. The last few weeks that I've been playing on full tilt and poker stars I'm up like $320 on stars and down $270 on full tilt.

no breaks
In the superstack on tilt I double up the short stack AQ<AK. A few hands later he knocks me out AJ<A8.
Simultaneously on stars I got knocked out of the 20k. I shove KJo from the sb for 20k with blinds at 600/1200. BB calls with AhQc. Flop was KJx with two hearts. Turn and river were hearts.
4 min cashes in five tournies today. Couldn't catch a break in any of them.

another race lost
88<AJ in the 5k. Busto. 70k pot with blinds at 1250/2500.
3rd out of 78 in the 4 2R1A. Need to finish in the top 8 for this to be a profitable session. I'm certainly due for a FT.

Still in though. 215k with blinds at 8k/16k. 13th out of 15.
long session down to one
Nice session at TJ "forsaken03" Dubensky's tonight. Al "Franchizzle" Hronec was in attendence also.
Few min cashes through the night. Two deep runs.
First one was in a $8.80 6-max on stars with 500 entries. With ten left I was the short stack with 40k and blinds at 1500/3000. I 3-bet shoved AJo against a button raise and he called with A9o. He flopped a 9. GG.
Still going in the $3 one rebuy one add-on, or the 3-cubed as they call it. Franchizzle is long gone and Forsaken03 is sleeping so I'm all alone with my thoughts and my blog. Been listening to Donovan Frankenreiter, very soothing.
Few big hands that I remember. Had about 75k with blinds at 2k/4k. I shoved a few hands in the previous half hour with big hands against a limper or two. This time I had AcQc the bb. There were two limpers and I just open shoved. The sb snap caled with Kc8c. I flopped an ace and held. Got a little spewy after that but regained what I lost with a few small pots.
Got moved to a new table with super loose bigstack to my right. With blinds at 3k/6k he opened for 18k on the button. I had JJ in the sb and decided to just shove and take it down rather than play out of positon against him but he snap called with 22. I held and got to 300k.
Nothing major since then. Sittin with 250k with blinds at 4k/8k. 17th out of 34. There's a bunch of terribAL players at the table. Ridiculour open raises.

On to today
Played 5 tournies tonight after my bowling league. Bowled 160, 190, 141. Needed to mark in the tenth of the 3rd game for a 500 series and I left a split.
Out of 3 of them. Mostly races, not horrendous beats.
I've been all over the place in the 28k on full tilt. I was allin with AJ for 3700 with blinds at 150/300. Got called by KQ and lost but he only had 2800. Stole blinds with my 900 the next hand then doubled A7>44. A little later I doubled with 55>kk. A litle after that I doubled A7>AT. Heeeeehawwwww.
So I had about 16k with blinds at 400/800. I opened AA UTG+1 for 1985 (the year I was born) and the big stack that just doubled me 3bet to 7200. MP called allin with 4500. I shoved and the big stack called. AA>AJ>KQ.
Right now I've got 28k with blinds at 500/1000. Just in the money. 130 left.

sunday run
I played 6 or 7 tournies yesterday.
Min cashed the double deuce on full tilt. Shoved AT in MP for 10k with blinds at 600/1200. Ran into AA. Good game.
Min cashed the 9500 KO on full tilt. Lost half my stack JQ<J7. Made a comeback shove-stealing. Had 30k with blinds at 2k/4k. Big stack limped in MP, I shoved TT from the cutoff and he called with 6d7d. 4d5dx flop....he got there.
Went deep in the $11 250k with 34k entries. I seemed to get a hand everytime I needed to double. Had AK>AQ>88 for a big pot. KK>Ax for a big pot. AK>AQ for a huge pot. I never seemed to get above 30 bb's though. Shoved 550k from the CU with blinds at 25k/50k. Button snap reshoved. TT<AA. I picked up a diamond draw on the turn but couldn't get there. So close.
