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...

Yowza

Blinds are 10k/20k/3k

I have 240k - ten big blinds.

Will be shoving soon...

(Mama Mizrachi - robert and michael's mom - just busted from my table...)

248k at the break...

About 100 left, avg stack is 260k.

$528 locked up...

Double, then Triple!

Almost doubled with Jacks, then jammed with AT and was called by one guy with jacks, and another with queens.

Up to over 300k at 6k/12k/1500 - 140 people left, avg stack is 180k

(here's me stacking 'em up... weee!)

ITM

We're in the money... $375 locked up, I'm focused on the final table... Need some help first...

Hand for hand

We're hand for hand, meaning next bust out and we are in the money. (Actually 2 need to bust...)

So looks like I have another ITM, even if it's a small one right now... ($375 for 189th)...

I have 70k, avg is 137k. (Though i am in the BB for 8k)

($50k up top... So let's run it up!)

Just lost a good one

55 under the gun, I raised to 15k. One guy raised to 45, I called. We ended up checking down a king high board. He had JJ.

Down to 74k with 240 players left. 189 get paid.

Considering folding into the money then jamming wildly - I'm a tad bit tired...

135k at the break.

‎Last hand before the break I called a minraise in the BB with J4. Flop comes JJ4.

Didn't get much for it, but I'm up to 134k...
