Marathon weekend

After a long week of caring for a sick daughter I am finally able to get in some tourneys. I will more than likely be putting in 40-50 tourneys this weekend to make up for my absence this week. Hopefully I will be able to make at least 2 final tables and maybe get a big win. On a side note, the day after my last post I finished 28th in the Sunday Million. It's very frustrating to get so close but the 3k payday eased the pain a little. Nonetheless, it was a really good learning experience on how the higher limit end games are played. I was also able to hold my own against a WPT champion and a WSOP bracelet winner, which feels quite good.

I put in some cash game play this week with some very mixed results. I was doing quite well until last night when I lost a $350 set over set pot, and a $310 nut straight vs full house pot when I got nailed on the river.

Anyway, my first tourney is starting so I will post my results of the weekend tomorrow night or monday.

Another Final Table

So for some reason today I felt like getting on Full Tilt to play some today. I haven't played that site in months but I still had $30 in my account. So I signed up for the $26 34k gtd. Played some great poker and went to the final table as the chip leader.........where I got anal penetrated 20 times over. Everyone was playing at me because of my aggression on the bubble, and I took some ugly beats. So, I ended up busting out in 5th (TT vs 99, flopped set obv) for $2526. First place paid $8800 and I really wanted to win, but as luck would have it today was not my day. I guess the good news is that I now have a bankroll at Full Tilt. My screen name is "TderKGB" if anyone cares to drop in and say hi. I must say, the players on FTP are much, much softer than they are on pokerstars. I didn't encounter any resistance until the final table. I think everyone was just sick of me at that point. Nonetheless, it was certainly a profitable day. I will try to get the Hand History up tomorrow. It should be a good watch. I went through a stretch where I went from chip leader to the short stack, and back to chip leader. I was real swingy today, but it was still fun.

I will be playing all day tomorrow so come and give me a shout. Illinifan10 on pokerstars, and TderKGB on FTP.

See you on the felt!
