May 6, 2008, 10PM: Played 3 hours, 30 minutes, Made $2.38 at Full Tilt
$1 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (21st out of 293 Players)
 akdjf;aljdf;alksdjfa...I love this $1 rebuy. I think I have probably played it 15 times and finished in the last three tables 5-6 times. One of these fuckin times I am gonna get the best hand to hold and win it...it's so juicy.
Super aggro chip-leader raises in CO to 10k, button reraises to 32k...I ship it for 25k in the BB with KK. CO reshoves. Button folds so I only have to beat AQ with my KK to more than triple up to over 80k. The Button conviniently folded AJ to give him a whopping two A's left...right in the door. Well, 3.5 hours for 2.38 profit!!!
I really can't complain too much because of this following hand that happened 9 from the money...I was clicking in the lobby when my table popped up and I accidently clicked raise:

May 6, 2008, 3PM: Played 3 hours, Made $770.00 at Ceaser's Palace
$55 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 42 Players)
 Yay!! Finally a tourny win! I've been feeling like I could do this for a while, just needed to put the right combination of skills together. And unlike my 4th place finish last week I don't feel like this was a lucky break. I played solid. Used my new strategy, played more hands and used my experience at post-flop play to outplay my opponents and keep the pots small while I was drawing, and get full value when I had the hand.
I do still feel like my middle tourny strategy needs tuning up still. I did a great job of b8uilding up a big stack like i have in the past, but once the blinds got bigger I played to many hands. I let go of to many chips that I didn't need to give away. By the time we got to the final table I went from 3x the average stack to only about 10 big blinds. If I can tighten up and only pick on stacks that are REALLY small, not just medium to small I can risk less and go deeper with more chips. I'm giving away the chips when they are the most precious.
When I got the the final table I had a couple lucky situations. first I picked up a decent pot with an all in. Then with decent cards I raised up when i knew the big blind was going to have to shove in no matter what. That allowed me to actually have some chips to play with. I used the to pick up the blinds a couple times and snap of desperate small stacks. When we got 3 handed I was sitting on a huge stack, 75-80% of the chips in play. The other players agreed to chop 2nd and 3rd among them selves and forfit 1st to me. I'll take it!

May 5, 2008, 10PM: Played 3 hours, Lost $400.00 at MGM
$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em
I actually think I played really well, just didn't run well. Got bad beat pretty hard, then put my money in not so good on tilt. I was able to play well with a big stack, calling, drawing, value bets, etc. Different gear for me, I'm liking it. Keeping the pots small until I hit, trying to read opponents. Sort of a Johnny Chan heads up strategy, a little bit of Negranu reading with Phil Ivy random aggressiveness thrown in. It's fun because it keeps me changing gears constantly, and people have a helluva time reading me. To bad the session ended like this financially, altho I feel like I played well.

May 5, 2008, 9PM: Played 1 hour, Made $0.20 at PS
$0.10 Pot-Limit Omaha
 Limped a lot pre-flop then tried to play post. Made some good bets and layed hands down when I should. I think I am laying down too many hands on the river with two pair, etc when the board gets ugly for me, or I miss my main draw. I need to get more aggressive pre and put pressure on my opponents during the hands. I am getting better at playing more hands and reading better. This should help my tourney play, especially early when the blinds are low and I feel comfortable playing more hands.
Came off my win the last round.

I'm finding step twos more difficult.. they still are turbos but people don't bust out as quickly. So I can't fold down to 3-5 players and then "turn it on". They also are more aggressive. Also, to stay on track with money invested I will need 9 step 3's and it is looking like that may not happen :(
*frustrated*

May 5, 2008, 3AM: Played 1 hour, Made $33.00 at Full Tilt
$75 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (25th out of 219 Players)
Blah...
Made the money yes.. but got donked out which annoyed me like usuall.
A2 in SB vs BB as everyone folded.
Blinds are 1/2k and I have a 10K stack, BB has around 35K so I move in.
So he has to call 8K more with.. 82 offsuit :) and I have him dominated. I love this though. I do get unlucky but how can you ask for a better chance to double?
I need to find create ways to maintain/grow my stack from 7 player to the money to making the money.
It seems like no opportunity is ideal since the big stacks are all over the place and I had marginal hands.. need help or hands at this point so I don't bleed down.
Any ideas?

May 4, 2008, 2PM: Played 7 hours, Broke Even at Pokerstars
$4 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament
 Broke roughly even over a ton of tournaments. Not too happy with how I played today, I got pretty frustrated and started shoving at random late in some tournies. Frustration was because I kept raising or shoving over limpers with moderate to good hands and people in the blinds kept waking up with AK, AA, KK. Annoying....took down the 4.40 to end the night even though. Sickest hand at FT, 6 handed there's a raise, call, shove. Original two both shove and it shows down QQ, AA, KK in that order of action. AA held up, I then started raping blinds then killed the AA guy HU.

May 4, 2008, 12PM: Played 1 hour, 15 minutes, Made $54.50 at OPL INVITATIONAL
$5 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 11 Players)
 The new champ.....lol.
It was a lot of fun playing against all the OPL people, and some good poker friends. I was a few hands late, computer problems.
Just sat back and relaxed till I got in a heads up situation with pocket 7s. I flopped a set after making the standard raise and slow played. Luckily, the turn paired the board and hit my opp. middle pair to give him trips. So, doubled up there.
Later on, DeDobber was getting a bit too agro with his AX, and I caught him when I had AQ.
Then......the best hand of the day! Jesse is short stacked, bout 2400 I guess, I have almost 8k. I limp with my favorite hand, and he shoves except for one chip. I flop an open ender against his AA, and spike it on the turn. Sweet victory! I am sure Jesse would have chosen any other situation but that to lose to me. But, had to get that ten dollar bounty.
Got heads up and battled for a little while, where I finally crippled her with 78 suited, flopping a pair and flush draw. She turned the straight, and I turned the flush.
And the rest as they say is history. Lots of fun, can't wait to play it again, win or lose.
Thanks for the good times y'all!
