October 7, 2008, 1AM: Played 8 hours, 30 minutes, Made $230.00 at Lucky Lil's - Great Falls
$225 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (5th out of 47 Players)

What a grind.. work my way to the final table.
 
Lowest in chips with 10 players left, only the top 4 really make any money, $1000 ish and more.
 
Jimmy is at the final table with me and we both are in short stack steal/grind mode trying to outlast the others.
 
I manage to pick the right spots to steal and attack.  At times not looking at my hand to go all in to ensure I pull the trigger.
 
My only mistake at the final table was when in the BB with two limpers the flop came down 27J two spades.  I held the 92 of spades.  The UTG limper checked, button bet 5K.  I called assuming if he had air he would take the free card on the turn.  Instead he fired off 7.5k and I had only 9K.  I layed it down, in retrospect I should have check raised all in or folded.
 
GO back to the grind and build my stack into second place.  Had the chip leader on my right and two easy reads on my left fueling my stack.
 
Disaster struck in the BB with KK when AJ donkey makes a raise and when I move in he can't fold.  I'm left with >20K in chips and short stacked.  I do my best to grind with 5 players left but have nothing to work with.
 
Had I won that KK pot I would have been chip leader with 4 left and "easily" should have taken top two.

August 12, 2008, 8PM: Played 30 minutes, Lost $33.00 at Full Tilt Poker
$30 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (7th out of 9 Players)

Put myself in a hole early and never fully recovered.  Made a questionable all-in call at the end with bottom pair and gutshot st8 draw.  Scratch that.  Made a HORRIBLE call there.

Anyway, if it's a coin flip and I win, I've got a huge stack. I think I had to call his all-in because I was already comitted to the pot. Should I have just shoved? (Not that it would have changed the outcome)....tough...
