Sunday November 29th 2009

Played pretty much all day starting at noon starting with some qualifiers. Qualified into the 750k and sunday million but had very little success in either. Early in the million I had KK cracked by someone who limped utg, call a 6x raise and flopped a set on a 1073 flop. I had seen this player already min raise with Q10 on a 1022 flop out of pos to a preflop raiser and call him down so I knew this player to be very active when they limp/call that big of a raise. We got it all in on the flop after I followed (had 15% of stack in preflop and cbet made it over 40%) and he min raised for almost all my chips. I couldnt' fold it and he won a big pot with 77.
In the 750k I played pretty snug and was down to 2100 pretty early. Didn't 3bet to a pos raiser wiht blinds at 30-60 and I had JJ in the bb. Just check called the whole way with 626-7-9 board and he had flopped a boat with 22. Lost about 1000 in that pot. I hung around between 800 and 1500 for over an hour and finally got in with a9 to KK and lost. Oh well.
Out of the 10 or so tournaments I played the one I did well in was the 2pm. got pretty deep and finished 6th out of a pretty big field.

I have a video made up, hopefully I can get it loaded on here.
played well but busted in 6th for $2771. There was so much 3, 4 and 5 betting it was crazy but I found myself right at home in that atmosphere. The last hand the sb shoved with 30bbs and I had 7bbs in the bigblind with 88 and made the easy call. he showed JJ and it was just unlucky like that. ohwell

small, odd raises finally screwed me!

made the most retarded misclick - first one ever!
playing with 90 people left in the $3 rebuy on fulltilt i had 90k with blinds at 1-2k i was in middle position and facing no real opposition, just chipping up like mad.
had Jh2h and want to raise to 4280, however, i raise to 44280...what the heck was i thinking..luckily only the button stacked for his 25k and AKo. i flop great flop 3c4h5h and turns Qh...i look, he has the Kh..crap..river 6h. first time that has happened since ive been doing small odd raises (probably like a 1 in 10,000 type occurence). Sucked but didn't bust me.
played 13 tourneys tonight and cashes in 7. Pretty nice if I didn't decide I would just play $26 and less--mehwell
