$1 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (327th out of 1205 Players)
 Seem to lose big stacks in the Ferguson every night because of someone limping with hands like AK and AQ...in a tournament so full of weak players its very had to put them on that hand....if someone limp/calls my button raise and i have KQ...the flop comes Q74 rainbow...i am getting it in against this 1 opponent everytime because they have QT, QJ, JJ, TT, 99, 88 soooo many times its unreal...just annoying the time they snap call and flip up AQ....if you are playing at the right table with the right situation limping with AQ may be correct (induce shove from short stacks or whatever) but when these guys slow play from EP by limping these hands early...just doesn't make sense....o well...not really bothering me just interesting how many times i have seen this lately.

$2 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 1100 Players)
After making the FT of the luckbox turbo tourney I just joined to keep myself occupied during this one, I figured I had used up all my luck...I guess not.
I played well, obviously, and the cards just fell right. :)
I was in 12th with 14 left and had it in AJ against QJ on a J86 rainbow board and of course it came running 6's for a chop. Thought at that point my chances of making the FT were slim to none. Luckily there was a break immediately following this hand which gave me a bit of time to cool off and not do anything rash.
Heads Up was extremely frustrating and I think I played it pretty poorly. It's definitely the weakest part of my game and one that I've never been very good at. I guess it's not a huge deal though...99% of the tourney isn't HU so...
I had about a 7-1 chip advantage at the start and it ended up getting to the point where he was ahead for a time. I was barely in front when I picked up AK and he shoved with QQ...got lucky and hit the K on the turn and that was all she wrote. :)

$20 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (2nd out of 9 Players)
 got unlucky 4 handed when i shoved from sb with 77 into short stack. he autocalled off 9 bb with J8o. kinda weird play on the bubble if you ask me. he still had plenty of fold equity. then headsup, i got super unlucky twice. i was very agro and chipped up to a 2:1 lead. i raise with A3d, he calls. flop A5x all spades, he check raises me and i just know he doesnt have me beat, so i shove and he autocalls with K5. he was so far behind. board came spade spade and we chopped. final hand was crazy. for being so unlucky the whole way, 2nd not bad.

$11 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (160th out of 1750 Players)
 midnight madness is such a crap shoot... was away for the week, came back and wanted to get in a game... seemed as good a place as any... sucked out once... won all the all ins i was ahead in... stole blinds in a couple key places
raised about 40% of my stack with AQ after i had made a huge comeback, guy jams for just under my stack, another over jams... i fold, AJ vs. KK... spikes the ace, but that AJ hit a flush i couldn't beat.
two guys limp on my bb, someone jams for a minute amount more than it... i call, so do the limpers... J-7-J flop... two hearts, i have two hearts and i have about 1.5 orbits left, so i jam, run into a made boat via a limpers 7s
it's MM... i never do better than like, about where i just finished... so, i'm okay with it

August and My Goals
I worked at a sports camp all summer up to this point and have been living in a dorm at U of M. Any job that pays you for watching TV and playing ping pong is awesome but it was tough to play any tournaments other than the ones from 12:30-2am. I can't complain as many of my friends (and those in the real world outside of college) work schedules that restrict there time for poker even more.
However, if I had it my way I would be able to make enough playing poker that it would be my only responsibility during the summer. That is what I will come close to living for the next three and a half weeks before school starts up again. Because of this I have decided to lay out a few goals for the high-volume month ahead:
1) Play my best despite any bad run of cards, beats, or bubble bust outs.
2) Read the Apestyles/Rizen/PearlJammed book I bought a few weeks ago.
3) Win something.
4) Get my first $400+ score.
5) Start running again to get in shape and possibly win my weight loss bet with Jaspinal (long shot).
I am also running a $10 tournament at my house in a week that I hope to get about 20 people for. I have run several tournaments like this in the past and they have been pretty fun and fairly profitable lol. I will have to spend the next week calling people over and over because it is very hard to get anyone to commit to anything. Oh well, I have fun doing it.
I look forward to what I hope will be my highest volume, and most successful month playing mtt's ever, but either way I hope I come out a better poker player and still excited about the game.
Good luck everyone and keep posting!

$24 Buy-In Pot-Limit Omaha Tournament (49th out of 179 Players)
 Played great and get myself into a great position for all my chips. In sb I have JJT9 with an obvious AAxx raise and one other caller. Flop J25 rainbow. I checked to let the AA hang himself, he did but the caller also called. I push for about 8K the AA thinks and calls the other guy calls as well he has 345blah of course he is the table chip leader and hits the 6 on the river. Can't ask for a much better position as this hand would have put me in the top 3 in chips. I would make the play again every time.

Played 30 minutes,
at full tilt
$20 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 4 Players)
played 2 sngs. both 10 buy ins.
#1 heads up limit. accident. didnt mean to play
#2 4 player shootout. started 30 seconds after the first.
shit was crazy. i couldnt even think about a hand. i easily rolled over the nl 1 player while trying to keep up with the limit game. i finally beat that guy and was able to concentrate on the nl game. was at the final with a chip deficit. caught a gutshot broadway and moved in. dude called with second pair. it was clear sailing from there.
now we are even from last night.

$26 tourney last night
 So after I little while of taking some nasty beats I've been playing pretty well. I won into FTOPS #1 but can't play so I just took the tourney dollars. I was deep in the $24 8 o'clock tournament tonight but donnked out. Yesterday I got really deep ending up finishing 35th or so. One guy sucked out twice on me which would have put me in really good position with first getting $7500.
First hand I raise to 14k with KJ in the SB with blinds 2k/4k. He immediately shoves for ~70k (he did the exact same thing the round before that with hand between us two). I called and he showed K3. 7-7-10-7-10. Not cool.
A little later in the tournament me and the same guy both have about ~60k. Guy in late position limps, I call with QTo and BB checks. Flop comes Q-6-4. Checks around. Turn 2. I bet 15k into a pot of about 25k and he goes all in and limper folds. I think for a little bit and he shows Q8 only to spike the 8 on the river.
I think I would have been sitting about 10 of 35 had I won that hand.
The worst part about it in my opinion is that the guy that sucked out on those two hands which would have knocked him out is that he went on the win the tournament...
