November 18, 2007, 3PM: Played 3 hours, 24 minutes, Lost $105.00 at Full Tilt
$165 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (255th out of 2616 Players)

This was the FTOPS Event #15, $150 +15 NLH Knockout event with 100K guarenteed, the prize pool was actually $313,920.
 
After busting out I looked at the players entered (2616)and my place (255).  *Normally top 10% of the feild would get paid, this annoyed me.
 
I did get 2 bounties so took of some of the damage.
 
I've VERY VERY happy and dissapointed in my play today.
 
More so, One tiny mistake cost me.
 
I was playing 100% great. Fully concentrating on this one game.  Taking notes on players, that is, paying attention to how they play, what they play and when they play.  This was like night and day when making my decisions.  Times where had I been "blind" I would have folded when I should have raised or when I would have normally gone all in but the correct play was to fold.
 
I am upset with my mistake because it was with the donkey hand AJ for one.. two I called too much.
 
I was nipping blinds all tourney after realizing who is weak etc.  At times they play back and depending on who and for how much I would make my decision.  Well, I raise this one agro's blind from 1K to 3K, my stack is 25K, after the raise I have 22K, he moves all in for 13K, costing me 10K more, the pot has now about 7K in it.  I can do two things:
 
Fold and have 23K left
 
Call and have either 13K left if I lose or 40K if I win.
 
Average stack is about 22K at this time.  We are about 100 players from the money and blinds are 500/1000 with an ante of 125*(I think)
 
Problem is, I called like an asshole.  He has JJ and I double him up and cripple myself.  Now I don't have any more chips to work with since the blinds are so high.
 
I'm a fucking short stack now sitting on defense.  A target for all the bigger stacks when it is my Big Blind and helpless when I'm stuck in blind battle. 
 
All that time waiting around building my short stack into a machine has been wasted.  I was just getting into the rythem of playing back in spots, nipping blinds, blind vs blind play and now I'm nuetralized, frozen.  Only to sit and wait for a real hand or risk my tourney life on a stone cold move.  All because I was a donk and clicked call with AJ.
 
Later I pick up 99, move in mid position and get called by KK.
 
This mistake makes me only more hungry to play better.  It has been too long since I really gave a tournament my 100% concentration.

November 17, 2007, 6AM: Played 1 hour, 30 minutes, Lost $270.00 at Couch Casino
$2 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Got home from work and decided to play the game that I thought I was good at.  Still not in the right frame of mind.  Grandfather in the hospital...and dealing with other issues.  It showed in my play and I am frustrated as I am playing great poker, but not running good during the night shift. 
 
I normally can beat this game just about every time.  I need a break I think.

November 15, 2007, 5PM: Played 1 hour, 24 minutes, Made $13.40 at Full Tilt
$11 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (24th out of 700 Players)

Just doesn't seem worth it to place 24th out of fucking 700 and make $13.  Just over doubling my money.
 
My last hand was QQ, my gut told me to fold pre-flop.  I had just folded AK pre and pocket Tens so my disaplin was there.
 
I wanted to fold because.. well too much action, blinds are 500/1000, UTG limps, next player raises to 4K, next player raises to 10K and I have a stack of 20K.
 
If I move in I am getting called in at least one spot, the 10K raiser.  What does the limper and the original 4K raiser have? My gut tells me one has KK and the others Ace something.
 
I was right, we each had QQ and the limper had KK.  Drawing dead.

November 12, 2007, 12PM: Played 11 hours at WSOP Circuit Harveys Lake Tahoe
$340 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (12th out of 365 Players)

I played well and got lucky when I needed to I was short stacked a few times in this tourney and got lucky at the right times. I am very pleased with my reads and plays in this event and am just bummed that I was only 3 away from the final table and could not get there..12th place paid 1221 1st was 27k. Quite a swing for 11 spots....

November 7, 2007, 6PM: Played 24 minutes, Lost $12.00 at Poker Stars
$3 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (25th out of 108 Players)

Forgot to take the add-on like a donkey.
 
1-15th get paid, 1st gets a $650 seat.  I am done for the night after this.
 
Doing great, 4 times the average.  Had solid stack. Then get outran bad.  Guy on right raise, I just call with JJ, flop is xxx all hearts below an 8.  I have heart.  I know he has Ax or a smaller pair so I let him bluff off his stack.  On flop he bets, I just call, turn is another x, he bets again.. now I push him in or wait.. raise now.  He calls with TT no heart.  Drawing dead to ONE FUCKING ten left in the deck.  It is found.  I have 364 chips left.
 
I grind that up to 5K somehow! Then.. same shit, move in and get stomped by A-x cracking my KK.
 
I'm trying really trying not to be a whining complaining baby but.. it is becoming very difficult :)
 
Part of the game, deal with it, move on, keep my head up.
