$0.10 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (6th out of 360 Players)

Very early in the tourney I realized how tired I was and how much i did NOT want to play, so on the BB with pocket 5s and a raise and reraise in front of me I pushed all-in and lost all but 200+ chips. Next hand came K/Q put my remaining chips in pot 4 callers, and by the end I had just over 1000 chips, fold next hand, push all-in the next with A/10 suited - hit my flush on the river and was pretty much in from then on. Somewhere in between I was able to wake-up and play. Whew!

$0.10 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (35th out of 360 Players)

Spent more time tryng to get connected than I did playing, needless to say, anytime I was able to connect I just went all in - not knowing when I'd disconnect again. It worked each time and allowed me to finish ITM.

$1.20 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (2nd out of 9 Players)

Other than this not a whole lot of wins lately. But as of this moment I put an end to loss and defeat and proclaim victory at the tables! HaHa If it were only that easy ....
Will list the freeroll I ended ITM as soon as I find out the details, very little $, but no less than the others.

$0.10 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (26th out of 360 Players)

Since last writing - I had one win before and 1 win after this SNG - after losing my last 5 attempts at getting 1 in 40 as I mentioned previously. anywhere from 7th-15th place. I made a few dollars at the micro-stakes ring tables, was going to add to my log but lost it all in about 1 hand when opponent sucked out a flush on the river. Oh well! Whenever I deplete my funds completely; that's when it's over for good.

$1.10 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (3rd out of 40 Players)

I really wanted to get 1st, even more than usual because the winner also gets to take part in a $40000. prize. Not sure of the exact details, (haven't won yet), Still the pay out is a little better than normal. I should have won this easily, even though opponents were applying pressure from all directions (common when chip leader). The killing hand was an A/J off on SB final table, late position raises to 1000 I call flop comes AQx, I can't remember if i checked or bet, still opponent pushes remaining chips in pot over 3000, no draws possible unless he had K/J or K/10 which is less scary than an open ender. Immediately i thought he might have Q/Q but called in a mili-second, and saw his big slick. So the King kicker cost me 1/3 of my chips and put me in 6th place instead of strong 1st. This was only 1 of 2 SB i was able to play because of the pre-flop raisers and small stacks pushing all in. So when I was way ahead and saw the A/J I pretty much was willing to call anybody any amount. The last hand I was beaten by a high-card 10. On BB with 2 blinds left and 3 people. Knowing that I would call any raise with any mediocre hand which was 7/8 suited he had 10/7 off community cards held 3 Kings and 2 dead cards. he won with 3 Kings 10 kicker vs 8 kicker and so it goes. These sng's are promos offered for a limited time only. Instead of the 1.20 45 player SNG (7 pay-outs) this is 1.10 40 player (6 pays) amd one bonus. This was the 3rd so far the other I ended on the bubble and 16 place, so I'm still wanting to go for that 1st place finish. I will play another tonight or tomorrow.
