20/180
I was 1/60 and playing well. Was slightly overtaken in a tightly clustered leaderboard but then took a horrible beat to knock me to 33. Never really regained any momentum. Table was aggressive and didn't have hands to push back with. AK lost to 99 when I needed it to. Ultimately at 5BB ran KJ into JJ to bust.
0-3 in FTP 45s, all due to beats. What's the use of trying to improve if it doesn't result in wins?

whiffed 0-3. got floated by a kid to kill my stack. ruined my night. meanwhile homeys continue to get rich off the donks and i'm left behind.

1/18 ITM returned from vacation looking forward to playing online again. got a confidence boost after a disasterous showing in Atlantic City. Shorty down to three, I fought back to take it down.
9/27 pretty card dead. as shorty, ran QJs < 55 to bust.
6/18/08
ITM but so what. river busts me again. i am really on a bad run of beats. think i need some time away.
here's one hand that worked in my favor - can't see how he makes this call with no part of the draw.

3/45 ITM
anyone that does not believe that i lose every dominating hand, just watch this. poker is a waste and all of us that play are waste products.
6/15/08
I was riding a 90KO and a 45 to the final table when the bad beats started really hurting me. I can't go through this like I did in Jan-Feb. I don't need this right now.
6/14/08
I'm losing every 70/30 domination just like a prolonged period I recently came through. Not making for happy times.
6/12/08
11/45 my AT < A5. yeah i'm ill.
Played the FullTilt Daily Double for the first time in a while.
I bust Tournament A when villain turns a better flush.
48/914 ITM
I get off to a nice start in Tournament B, and ironically I'm briefly ahead of one of my online heroes.
Longer tournament, more opportunities for mistakes. Made a couple. Ultimately run A9 into AK.
6/11/08
6/45 ITM a rivered flush busted my straight
6/45 ITM a better rivered straight busted my straight
these two really hurt, as i was multi-tabling on different sites. one right after the other is just brutal.
6/10/08
3/45 ITM played well, some minor mistakes, no regrets.
13/180 ITM made one big mistake that cost me. also heavy preflop action prevented a good open-shove strategy from taking hold. no action with KK in SB at 13/31.
6/7/08
1/90 ITM
I finally have a first place to my name, and it was a nice cash considering all the KOs I netted. Probably my biggest cash to date. A real blogger would post some key hands and talk about the tournament, but I'm tired. I did flop quad Jacks and had AA and KK hold up when I needed them to. The big difference was my shove/fold strategy. Ultimately, it looked like the curse was going to overtake me yet again when lost a hand HU on the river when I was way ahead preflop. But irony of ironies as huge stack I call a shove with T3 FTW.

SBOP V private PokerStars tournament. the three highest average finishers among players having played all four prior tournaments are bdd67, daozi, and KingPrussia, yet neither of us has cashed. i do believe we are do to do some damage this month. check back for results.
EDIT: daozi bailed, bdd67 bubbled, and KingPrussia shoved 99 into AA. Not one of our homeys has cashed this after VCDuke won the first event. What's up with that?

21/1574 ITM in the 8pm on PokerStars. i usually beat myself up for poor decisions, but i think i played this tournament really well. i picked my spots, and most of my premium hands held up. i lost KK to AQ in a crucial spot (see below), and i busted AQ against 77 but the guy could have easily been weaker. if i win that race, i make the final table.
played with a guy from sydney, but he claims to not know P. Sherman from 42 wallaby way. i think he was either lying or just has good teeth.
here are some highlights:
it amazes me how people value top pair no kicker
set fills up nicely. back in 7th place
KK holds up nicely - 24/198 now
77 holds up to AK. this is a read-specific shove because i percieved my opponent to be weaker than AK.
KK loses to AQ at a crucial moment deep
another nice pot, but why does this guy call here? http://www.pokerhand.org/?2698884
