Busto

‎In the big blind with QsTc, I called a bet from early position.

Flop comes with three ‎spades, including the ace.  He bets, I called.

Turn is a blank, check check.

River is a spade.

I bet, he shoves, I call. He's got the king, GG Greg.

So the streak ends at two.

Good trip - anytime you can have a series and break even or profit, it's a good series.


22k at the break.

‎Not much to report hand wise, chipping up in a few spots, making some good laydowns. 

Playing a little looser than I normally do - i'm calling and seeing flops a little wider today. A few reasons:
 1) it's fun
 2) I'm trying to work on making good laydowns and extracting more from big hands - you can only do that by seeing flops; and
 3) I don't want to make it to the dinner break with 3 big blinds. I either want a big stack and run deep, or bust out and take Shaun out for his birthday to a Brazilian steakhouse.


24k - won one with tens

‎Feeling pretty good about my game...

Busted somebody with aces

‎I have AA, raise.

One caller, then somebody else shoves for 4100. I call, initial caller folds.

My hand is good, sitting on 20k (started ‎with 15k)

Busto in 15th spot.

‎A5 <9T when a ten hit the river...

Good for $3600 - not bad for a "meh, I'm tired" tourney...

So I'm slightly ahead on the trip, which, I believe, means I can come back...

Right Kim?  


Final two tables...

No hand updates because all of 'em are pre-flop shoves... So no real thinking involved at this point...

$3k locked up...

Considering I played this tourney because I wanted a cheap one I wouldn't feel badly about busting early, making the final 18 out of 1750 runners is pretty good...

Now let's get to that final table...

Doubled

KQ>AQ - king on the flop, another on the river...

I'm over a million, which is about average...

495k at the break.

24 left, avg stack is 1 million.

Locked up $2,100...

This tourney is:
A) ridiculous, and
B) lots of fun...

27 left... I have 370k

Avg is 970k, so I need a hand...

Locked up $1700, next jump is with 24 left...

Down to 500k...

AJ<QQ, all in pre.

Doubled!

my AK beat AQ, all in pre flop. Q on the flop, but K on the river...

Up to 650k..

Then busted somebody with 55>KJ

I'm sitting on 900k.

42 players left, avg stack is about 650k.

Down to 200k

A5 lost to QT...

Dropping like flies...

We are down to about 70...

I have 400k, about 20k above average...
