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.

keep runnin bad

JJ<88 for 18k in the superstack with blinds at 400/800.  Still got 14k but that runner-runner straight sums up my week.

yawn

KK<99 for a 72k pot with blinds at 400/800 in the 3r.  34593 board.  Left with 10k.

moving past sunday

Sunday was awful, that's all I'm gonna say.

Today has been better so far.  Started with 5 tournies, min cashed one.

I'm still in are the $3r 14.5k on full tilt.  I was 2nd in chips after the addon with 1800 left.  Fallen back into the pack.  Sittin on 22k with blinds at 250/500.

Also in the $11 superstack 14k.  I have 9k with blinds at 120/240.

Just had a sick rush in the $11 20k on stars.  I had 5700 with blinds at 50/100.  I opened AQo for 300 and the button called with 3300 behind.  4TQ rainbow flop.  I bet 481, he min raised, I shoved, he called with KQo.  I held and was up to 9500.

The next hand I opened ATo in middle position for 300.  The bb called and the flop came AK5 with 2 clubs.  He check-called 556 and the turn came Td.  He check-called 1272.  River came 7d.  Check-check.  He has QcTc.  I'm now up to 12k.

The next hand UTG+1 limps and I open UTG+2 for 300 with AJo.  The sb, bb, and limper all called and the flop came AJ9 rainbow.  UTG +1 opens for 300, I raise to 984, sb folds, bb calls, UTG +1 calls. Turn was 3s.  BB checks, UTG+1 bets 200, I raise to 1200, bb shoves for 2200, UTG+1 folds, I call.  He has AKo.  River is 6c.  Now up to 17k.

The next hand I open AQo UTG for 400. The button call and so does the bb.  Flop is AT6 with two spades.  BB bets 100, I raise to 500, button calls, bb calls.  Turn is Ah.  BB checks, I bet 1322, button calls, bb folds.  River is 5d.  I put him all in for 4200.  He calls with A2o.  Up to 24.5k.  Chip leader with 3200 people left.

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.

tryin to stage a comeback

Still in the $4 2R1A.  Got 60k, blinds at 400/800.  4th out of 85.

Also still in the $3 5k that endedup with a prize pool of 9500 with 3100 entries.  Got 35k with blinds at 1k/2k.  109th out of 165.

If I were making a list of which tourneys I wanted to run deep in today, these two would have been 7th and 8th out of 8.  But it is what is.  Need a ship.

0 for 6

99<AK
