I've been playing quite abit lately, really back into the mode of playing tournaments. I've been getting alot more days off from work so i'm spending most of that time playing. I've played Sunday Million on Stars and the Sunday 500K Guar. on Full tilt twice each now. I'm really happy with my results but could of been really good if i win a couple more races. I cashed in 2 of those 4 tournaments. I finished 88th out of like 7000 in SM on stars for about 2K and then last weekend I finished in about 150th in the Full tilt tournament for about 600$.
I also had made 2 other final tables this sunday. In the one tournament, i was playing on Full tilt, a 24+2$ tournament that got a feild of just under 1500. I was playing it at the same time as the 500K and i was playing pretty stardard and getting paid off when i played hands. I fealt in great control late in the tournament. I had a pro 2 seats to my left, Eddy Scharf for the final 2 tables. I didn't know he was a pro until i checked the lobby on the FT, but I knew while playing that he was a super aggresive player. I ended up Doubling up the first hand of the FT with 10 10 vs A J. I'm really happy with the way i played the final table. I finished 3rd for 2800$, but on 2 occasions, i had a chance to be HU with a nice chiplead. 55 made straight against QQ and my 10 10 didn't hold against A 7. I'm really happy with the way i played this tournament. I wish i could stay focused like i was in this one all the time.
My second final table, was in a 30+3$ on stars. The tournament had just under 500 players. At the start, i was running normal, just winning chips constantly. I got my stack up to 14K and lost a huge hand with JJ vs 10 10 when the flop was 8 high just before the break.
I then had 4800 chips and the blinds were starting at 300 - 600. The very first hand, i doubled. Then I stole a huge pot where there was a min raise, and 3 people called the min raise. I had A Q and shoved my 9K in there and took it down. Then i started running so good. Within 19 minutes, i went from 100th out of 110 to 1 out 85. I was the chipleader by 15K. I just ran like a god. I did not lose a race for the rest of the tournament. Worst part is, if i got a PP all in pre in a race situation, i was flopping my set 100%. I'm not even kidding about the 100%. I got into like 6 races with PP, hit the set all 6 times. Anyways, i made it to the FT with a good chip stack. I think i was second in chips, but it didn't take long to get the chiplead. I ended up winning one of the more retarted hands i've ever played. I called an all in with 7 3 off out of spite and the guy had 10 10, i caught trip 3's nad he missed his flush draw. Then for some odd reason, i missed an open ended straight flush draw on the flop to the eventual winner. I lost to him HU. Was still good for 2200$.
That was a succesful Sunday night of poker. I really love sundays now. Last 3 sundays that i've played, i've been a big winner. 5K win, 2K win, 5K win. Can't complain.
As for been a while .... i'm going back to TS to play some live cash games. Its been a while since i played some live cash and i'm excited but nervous at the same time. I feel like i'm going to be rusty. I'm also going to be playing some tournaments. I think i'm going to play a couple 300$ buy ins and if cash has been good, i'll play the 500$ one. Anyways, really looking forward to it, and looking forward to posting some hands on here.
Wish me luck ...
