Didnt pick up anything.  Got counterfieted on my all my A-2 draws.  Made nut low one hand with 2234.  Flopped a rap on the wheel.  Got 1/6 of the pot.  Two other 23's.  Only part of the pot I dragged all session.

June 23, 2006, 5AM: Played 2 hours at Poker Stars
No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (25th out of 271 Players)

Step 1 of 2 to a WSOP Main Event Seat.
 
Cant believe how bad they played, and where I still ended up.
 
Took one horrendous beat.
 
QQ vs A5
 
Flop 239 I bet 3/4 of the pot, get raised same amount, I go all in they call.  They still had plenty of chips at all points.  That crippled me, but picked up JJ next hand and made full to triple up.

June 21, 2006, 7PM: Played 1 hour, 42 minutes at Harrah's - Las Vegas
$100 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (7th out of 20 Players)

Played SLB, was against basically a field of donkee's... Took two bad beats against the same guy. Last one took all but 300 in chips with the blinds 400-800.
 
Bad Beat #1:
 
Had TT vs 33, board is Q 7 2 rainbow, bets 1/3 of his stack before the flop.  I call.  Bets the rest of his stack on the flop, I think, put him on AJ or AK, or smaller pair and call.  90% favorite at this point.  Hand costs me 35% of my stack.  River is the god awful 3.
 
Bad Beat #2
 
Blinds are 400-800, im utg with KK and limp.  Just the blinds are in action.  Flop is K T 4 w/2clubs.  BB goes all in, I call before the hands are rolled over he anounces a K is good, so I say how bout two.  He has QTo both red.  Im a 96.7% favorite here.  He has only 2 ways to make a hand that can beat me.  The 2 case T's, or perfect perfect for the st8.  Turns an A, and you guessed it river is the J.
 
I wanted to puke.  With that pot I can easily make the money they way I was playing.  3 Places pay.  But there would have been 2nd in chips. With the chip leader directly to my left.  At the level the blinds where at, the other shorter stacks wouldnt have lasted long.

June 20, 2006, 5PM: Played 2 hours, 6 minutes at Wynn - Las Vegas
$2/4 Texas Hold'em

Was so tired from trip from Wis to MT, then from MT to Vegas, that I had the patients of a saint.  Was established as a rock right away cause I mucked my SB for $2 with 6 way action.  This got me a lot of respect and I used it to my advantage.  Had to limp with Aces UTG to get any action out of them.  Played them both cautious because of 6 & 7 way action with them.  Was really happy with my play in that game.  Playing with a bunch of donkeys, but one guy was really observant when I was in the hand, and let the table know I was in.  It was great for when I needed to run a bluff through or had a monster.

June 4, 2006, 12PM: Played 7 hours at Copper King Hotel - Butte
$320 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (3rd out of 37 Players)

Played well for most of the tourny.  There was one optional rebuy, had my head clouded at the start and played like shit.  Took the rebuy and got on top of my game then. 
 
Didnt pick up any hands to start the final table and bleeded off a lot my chips, just sat and watched them drop around me.  Doubled up a couple different times with a short stack and blinded some more.
 
Great overall performance.
