February 2009 Recap

2/17/09
3/45 ITM KK < AQ, standard
5/45 ITM QQ < JJ river, standard
another multi-table final table finish met with bad luck

2/12/09
1/9 ITM against a really tough heads up foe

3/45 ITM
33 vs AJs i flop a set but villain hits runner-runner flush. nice run i suppose but i needed a win.

busted a 180, missed a token, won a small token.

2/11/09
i'm embarking on a strategy to help me move up on buy-ins. i'm playing alot of FullTilt token tournaments, allowing me to lay out small buy-ins in exchange for tokens into higher tournaments. once i accumulate 10 tokens, i'm gonna see what my results are in the higher buy-ins. if i have success, i'll stay there.

i continue to lose an abnormal amount of 70/30 dominations, and i've been bubbling the token tourneys. i'm confident i will finish ITM at a regular rate.

2/9/09
7/45 bubble
down to 8, i get AA and raise, get popped all-in, get another caller, and i call. i'm up against QQ and KQo. flop xxQ case queen, busto. whine whine whine you betcha. i'm supposed to triple up there and coast into the top three.

i bubbled a token tourney shoving 55 into a 449 flop after another shorty played TT for a limp on the button. this tilted me more than anything. what good is it to not be afraid of the bubble if no one else is afraid of it either?

played NYRPS event #11 and what an uber-waste of time, plus i have to put up with some kid taking cheap shots at me in the chat. who needs that?

2/8/09
6/45 ITM
bad luck at the final table, running TT < QQ and when the bubble broke, A3s < ATo.
33/148 missed a token by 6 places. BB was courageous to call me down with A9o IMO.

2/3/09
3/45 ITM
a disappointing night again with numerous beats when dominating 70/30. don't care to revisit them here. i also had router problems as my connection went down every time the cordless phone was in use. changing the channels did not help.

homeys partagas and bdd67 continue to suffer beats as well, including a 10/1628 finish for partagas on the FT bubble in the 32K guarantee.

i think that's it for me until the conshy classic on saturday.
