Only tourney I'm playing and have had some mad ups and downs.
First big pot - I raise AT in MP and the button calls. Txx flop. I bet, he shoves, I call. He has KK and I hit an ace on the river.
Soon after I have KK in the BB. UTG limps for 120, UTG+1 raises to 360, UTG+2 shoves for 1500. I reshove for 3500, fold, fold. He shows AQ and turns an A. I'm back down to 1900.
Shortly after I have AKo in the CU. I raise to 360 and the same guy who had the AQ shoves from the big blind. This time he has AT and I hold. Back to 4k.
A little later I call a button raise from the BB with AJ. AQJ flop with 2 clubs. I check raise and he shoves 9c7c and I hold. Up to 8k.
Moved to a different table and lost a small pot. I was sittin with 6500 when a guy with 2500 opened for 600 with blinds at 100/200. I defended my bb with JsTs. Flop was T34. I check and he shoves for 1800. I call, he shows 55. River 5. Down to 4500.
A little later I have AdKd in the 240 BB with 3800. MP shoves for 800, and sb reshoves for 2k. I call and they have TT and QQ. I flop an ace and hold. Up to 7k.
Three hands later a big stack (new player) opens for 720 UTG, I shove AKo from the CU. He tanks for a while an then calls with 99. I flop an ace and hold despite a big sweat. He had gut shot straight flush draw going to river. Up to 14k.
Few more hands similar to these have me up and down. AK<A9.....QQ>AJ.
Sittin at 15k with blinds at 300/600....a couple of morons at my table with stacks.

running back and playing worse
Brutal few days for KULP. Can't seem to catch a break in anything and it's causing me to play worse. Every hand I feel like I'm running into the nuts which makes it hard to Cbet/bluff. Pair that with not hitting many flops and I seem to always hover around 15bbs (not good).
Another thing about playin bad is I just have a hard time taking micro tournies serious. I'll find myself calling off decent stacks when I'm pretty sure I'm behind. I'm like the kid that looks at his watch before making a bad call (well it's getting late so I guess I'll call even though I know you have it). Except for me it's well it's only 5 doll hairs, I'm probably behind but what the hell.
So today I decided to play the $26 tourneys to see if I played better. I started out bluffing away half my stack and got down to 1200 but made a nice comeback.
Sittin at 5k. 120/240 25 in the 42k guarantee and I just made a laydown that I havent been able to make the last few days.....Blinds were 100/200. MP solid player has 7400 and opens for 500. I have 5300 on the button and just call with AsJd. BB (donk) has 2800 and also calls. Flop is Ks4sAd. BB checks, MP bets 855 into 1600, I call and so does BB. Turn is 9s. BB shoves for 1500, MP reshoves for 6k. I'm gettin 2.5/1 on my nut flush draw if my A isn't good(10k in the pot and I have 4k). I debate on making another bad call and eventually decide that a solid player wouldn't reshove there without a hand better than AJ so I fold. BB has 4d5d and MP has KK. River 3c. Good fold.
In the $26 33k KO. I'm sittin at 7600 with blinds at 50/100. I flopped a set of 3's on a AQ3 flop. Led out on flop and got one caller. Turn 8. I check, he bets 330, i make it 850, he shoves, I call. He is drawing dead with AJ. Bout the only way i can hold lately. After that I fucked up a big hand against a big donk. He opened for 3 units I called on the button with TT. Flop T52 with two clubs. He pots it, I put in a small raise, he insta min raises. I shove. He still has 4k ( we both had big stacks to start the hand). He tanks and says he is folding AT. I could've just called there with position and got at least another bet out of him on the turn ( probably all of his chips) but I thought he had an over pair and couldnt fold.
Sigh. Just busted in the 42k. 150/300 25. HJ limps, sb limps, I have AKo with 4500 in the bb. I shove, HJ calls with AA.

busto
48k 1k/2k blinds. Big stack raises in UTG +2. I just call 6k cuz i got a bad feeling. 238 flop. He leads out, I have to shove. He snap calls with KK. Sigh.
running backwards
Can't seem to win a race to save my life.
Stalled out like crazy in the superstack. Tryin to steal some small pots. Limping into the money. 36k 600/1200 150.
Way overdue for a rush.

I like gettin all my big hands/holds in the same tourney.
36k 120/240 25.
I'll continue to update this tourney's big hands as long as i'm in it.

superstack in the superstack
Off to a good start in the $11 superstack. Went from 4k to 18k with three big hands in ten minutes.
First hand I had Qs8s in bb against sb. 50/100 TJx with one spade on flop. Check, check. 5s on turn. He bets 200, I call. As on river. He bets 500, I make it 1300, he shoves, I call, he shows 55. NH. TY.
Next time in BB i have A8o. SB (new player) opens for 300, I call. 874 rainbow flop. He check-calls 400. Turn 4. He check-calls 879. River 8. He check-calls 1985 (the year i was born). He shows A9o. WP SIR.
Three hands later in the CU I get KK. Same player opens for 360, I 3bet to 1125, he calls. Flop is KJ6 with two clubs. He checks, I bet 800(lol), he raises to 3960, I shove, he calls and shows 7c9c. Brick, brick. WP SIR.
While I was typing this I flopped the nuts from the bb with 9To. 678. Got bet into on the flop and just called. Turn A. Got bet into and raised a small raise, he called. River 2. He bets, I raise o 1985(the year i was born), he reraises, I shove. He folds. TY SIR.
24k right now 80/160 blinds.
$2 rush rebuy didnt go well, neither did the $5r 6max. 7k early goin in the $3r....AK held against AQ and K9.
Not racing well at the moment.
Im startin to really dislike rush rebuys.
